Looks great 
Just had a thought, have you tried a longer dryback on the ssdd? I had a plant that absolutely hated wet feet, she wouldn’t preform properly without a dry back that made me uncomfortable.

We have been trying to have better watering practices and wont water until we can stick 1 finger down into the dirt and everything feels dry. Pots get so light you go to lift them and almost throw them after feeling a heavy pot. We could try a harder dryback tho because we arent waiting until shes so dry shes drooping so we could go maybe a day longer. Its worth a shot! @MoBilly shes caught 7 squirrels now and tore them up. Tried to give the last one a viking burial over the fire but it wasnt hot enough to turn it to ashes and the dog had a snack the next morning smh lesson learned there haha

Well ive been busy raking up some cash for christmas and it seems we didnt water the 4x8 after a few days and 15 of 38 of them were pissed! Lol. I didnt do it on purpose i swear haha but its crazy to see not everyone was affected by it but a little bit less than half. # 4,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,25,28,32,33,34, and 38 were affected for anyone curious. So right now we are watering to runoff with a 75% strength veg water and hopefully in the next few hours we will see them lively up again. Im also squeezing the sides to loosen up the dirt for better root growth after watering to runoff. To avoid this i should of started watering more sooner or already watered to runoff as the coco was getting pretty dry and 2 shot glasses every 2 days wasnt gonna cut it. Its not always pretty pictures here but i like to show my learning curves for others to hopefully not make the same mistake

Good morning everyone! I hope yall are having a great day so far! Got an update on the SLR phenohunt run and the 5x5. Day 23 above ground on the SLR tent and i killed off #6 and #38 today because they didnt seem like they would make a full recovery in time to ever be the same aize as the rest. #7 and #32 will be next if they dont shape up in the next week or so. I went ahead and backfilled some of the taller plants so they weren’t flopping around at all. Saw some really nice root growth due to busting up the coco when watering to runoff the other day. Some of the plants are starting to gwt light green and gave some dotting on them so ill up nutes to 100% next watering and keep an eye on the new growth. There are gonna be some gems in here for sure im really hoping that #23 at least is a female because shes my favorite in the tent. My wife said odds are it will be a male because its not a very nutrient hungry plant and has been easy going and google says the males are less demanding that females but i told her its probably strain dependent and what not. Anyways moving on to the 5x5. Im seeing some deficiencies on hella jelly and apple blossoms. They were both getting a 75-80% strength of nutes due to high EC on runoff and trying to learn what each plant wants and needs. The hella jelly is definitely hungry and close to the light but the apple blossom i have 1 looking like shes turning a tad light green with some purpling on 1 leaf and the other one looks alright but a light green tinge in the center veins so i know she isnt far behind. Overall i might need to up nutes in the 5x5 and figure out a better plain RO water to feed schedule. Ive been increasing the lights like 3% a week and now are 45% in there so im not sure if having more light will help them eat as i slowly dial it up? Any thoughts or input are greatly appreciated!

Good morning everyone! I hope yall had a great Thanksgiving last night! Being off work today i figured id go ahead and do another update on the 4x8 as im impressed with their growth past few days. Day 27 in the 4x8 SLR phenohunt and the right side of the tent is finally catching up to the left side after the last watering at full strength nutes. Seeing a lot more even canopy height and the few stragglers that dont match the rest. In the 5x5 we realized rather quickly we needed to do something with the hella jelly as today it was basically touching the light so i topped just about all the plants in the 5x5 except 1 apple blossom which im trying a new hybrid training method on where i dont top but i trim, shape, and train since this specific plant wants to stay short. The hella jelly i did supercropping with a sharp downward angle. I like to call it spider legs since i like to leave 8 branches on my typical training methods because its a harsh bend that keeps the plants short and widens them greatly

Day 30 of the SLR Phenohunt run. Starting to see a lot more of these ladies just taking off and getting tall. 15 was looking deficient and small for a bit and now shes getting really tall. I love watching these ladies grow day by day! Im gonna let them get to about 16-20 inches tall before flipping to flower since i have 52 inches to my lights. I backfilled all the pots, trimmed the bottom nodes in the pot, trimmed any leaves touching the dirt after backfilling. They are looking really nice and happy tho! There were a few that were really flopping around but i fixed that when i backfilled. Should of noted which one as ive been told they are probably the trainwreck leaning phenos but im sure the opportunities will arise again. The 5x5 still isnt happy with us but shes getting better with the full strength nutes again. Once i get this tent happy ill flip to flower and im sure it wont be long as she just looks hungry from half cut feedings trying to dial in EC runoff

Looked back at a few days of pics in the 5x5 for a progress pic and it seems like a calcium and or nitrogen deficiency going on with all of them since the past few days as its been getting yellower up top and losing its green. We’ve been trying to feed with plain RO and then nute water but these last 2 feedings were full strengrh nutes because they looked hungry. Not sure if its nutrient lockout or then just being hungry but i might flush and chrck runoff numbers and follow up with full strength nutes and cal mag added. Any input would be appreciated!

Good morning everyone! Checked in on the 4x8 and this morning and got some measurements to see where i was at with my height. #11 is now at 18 inches so i need to get a game plan ready to flip to flower as i only have 52 inches to my light not including a light gap but im in a predicament where im not sure the best method to save the best female from this run without making room for 36 clones (until i ID male or female and eliminate the males) for the next 2-3 months for this run to finish and taste the bud. Id like to stay away from revegging if possible because i want to get a gary payton run going in the 4x8 right after this run is over to just stockpile some bud and run something im familiar with again. I can take 36 clones but then its like man do i keep them in coco cells and trim the crap out of them and water daily? Would love to hear any input thanks! I hope yall are having a great day so far!

Starting to see some issues on 2 of these ladies in the 4x8. This is a new one for me. I figured id ask here and then check out my book to see what deficiency it could be. Its odd that its only happening on 2 plants and #21 has some slight variegation up top

Yea that’s a lot of backing up!
I’d be up to my ears in solo cups but that’s what I’m confident in.
To keep that many I’d make something with holes for the cups to sit in.
On those wrinkles, the other day I was hardening off some fresh clones and when I went to feed the first time I forgot to dilute my feed and hit them with 2.5 ec right off the bat. They wrinkled like that.

Thanks for the input i appreciate that! We just bumped up to full strength so i had thought it might be a but if overfeeding but wasnt exactly sure. I’ll have to check runoff numbers next time we water

Good morning everyone! Got an update on all the tent today. The SLR phenohunt tent i just did a pre flower trim and flipped to 12/12 light schedule today so ill just call tomorrow day 1 of flower. We decided there wasnt enough room to save 36 clones of the SLR tent and instead we will probably just reveg the best looking female in a seperate tent as we just dont have anywhere to keep x amount of females until we can try the smoke knowing that would be about 3 months of caring for them. We do want to try a reveg tho its something we’ve never done and i think it would be good experience to have under the belt. Next we go to the 5x5. The hella jelly is starting to get happier with us but still has some light green leaves so we are going to dial up the silica a bit from 2 ml to 5ml per gal as my wife thinks its a potassium deficiency. We’ve worked out some new recipes for the apple blossom and hella jelly as they had slight deficiencies but overall are looking better. I trimmed and readjusted stakes on the apple blossom and just readjusted stakes on the hella jelly not trim to delay that outward growth and allow the others to catch up. I want to flip to flower as soon as we iron out those deficiencies. Lastly we come to the mother tent and i killed off the pineapple upside down cake from the last run because we decided we really didnt care for that smoke. @420noob Still trying to decide between which donutz triploid of the 3 we want to keep. 2 was creamy and chem with a sweet end at first and then 1 was fruity and chem and 3 was straight chem. Its getting hard to tell any difference tho as they cure more. #2 has lost its creamy taste and my wife now doesnt care for it anymore. I really like 3 and my wife likes 1. They both taste about the same with 1 being a bit more sweet tasting because the fruit notes and 3 being almost a straight chem taste. Wont be long before we actually decide tho because i dont want to keep extra plakts around forever. Anyways we reset a majority of the mothers in the mother tent and have 7 new babies one of which is the hella jelly as my wife is pleased with the growth and structure of the plant and it took nutrients much better than the last run and other plant we killed off. Thats all i got for today. I hope yall are having a great day so far

@Emeraldgreen The hella jelly baby in the mother tent is for her and we both really like gary payton but she doesnt exactly favor most the other strains its just better than paying for stuff at the dispo. She wants to grow out a bunch of blueberry strains but specifically anything that’s the sweet, skunky, diesel, and dessert like. We grew out the stardawg corey and she really didnt like that it messed with her anxiety and moods pretty bad and she refused to smoke any of it again. She said she also doesnt like anything that makes her eyes feel like they are bulging out her head or as she says ping pong eyeballs lol. She likes the donutz so far but she said it makes her eyes and head feel puffy and if it wasnt for that it would be amazing. We are giving it a bit longer tho to try the 3 donutz before killing them off tho. She really liked the hella jelly last time we grew it because it had a sweet grape jelly smell and taste and was loaded with flavor but just had a small yield. The one we saved this time looks much more promising than the last and grows like crazy so we have high hopes its gonna be a keeper and why we took a snip for the mother tent
