Led on rooting clones/ seedlings the first days of vegetative; CMH for end of veg. time and first 4 weeks of flowering then HPS.
But I’m seriously considering going back to neon tubes for the seedlings first 2 days of life.

And leave your cell (mobile) on and take calls
Now now, I’m not a savage…
Now, what bothers me is the popcorn. That crunching is worse than talking!
I’ll be in the peanut gallery…
The runts have been pulled but a few more are in grace period already… Axe getting close.
even the backup Wi-Fi didn’t make it… Looks like I should have cloned the one of last run…
The WRxBD are the most homogeneous and overally nicer of the lot, let’s see how things progress…
WRxBD
JB and TE
DT
ESB

Everything going on quite ok…
Yesterday I started full strength nutes, tomorrow they will be going under CMH so we should see some real growth next days…
Some pics in the veg. Nft box :
Tranquil Elephantizers
JackBerries
Durbans
ESB
WRxBD

First light cycle under CMH, looks like they liked it…
C99 still under LED lights, as she’s a few days younger
DS
Today they have been moved to their definitive home, so the bigger 4 in the 25 lt dwc, then 2 in 16 lt dwc while the smaller 6 are in a 65 lt common dwc.
They are now 14 days old except the C99 that’s 11
Some pics…

Update :
JB 1 suddenly just collapsed and died.
Light been switched to 12/12 ten days ago, 3 males identified : DTx2, TE1 and WRxBD 2
DTx2 is an early bloomer specimen; 25 days from cotyledons opening, 10 days after switching to 12/12 and already showing developed floral clusters.
Clones already been taken, they will be flowered in a separate room, pollen taken and tried. If the offspring is good I’ll have to enlarge the parents room
DS
DTx2 male
Just curious, what do you run your seedlings at for feed levels? They look great
they are getting fed at 1.7 ec since one week, its 3 part Advanced Hydroponics of Holland nutes , now @ 1g-2f-1m as for ratio, earlier week was 1.2 ec @ 1g-1f-1m while first feed been 0.8 ec @ 2g-1f-1m.

2 more males showed up, so the remaining females are 5 :
2 WRxBD
2 ESB
1 DTx
Too bad all the TE and the JB resulted males as this means I’m out of heavy indicas this run…
A nice ESB leaf
DS
Buds are starting to form… Males have been culled, I’ve kept clones of the fast DTx and of the 2 bodhi TE that will be tried out before choosing wich one to keep as now I don’t have place/time to do the trial.
Some pics…

Update: one of the WRxBD just collapsed and died overnight do now they are down to 4 plants…
In the meantime I’ve set up the other half of the box for running clones of Orangina, my selected AO mom…
As I’m expecting to get from someone a Wilma xl20 that I’ll mod as drip/dwc that should have been here some weeks ago I already have some clones rooted since that I kept in stasis as much as possible but are a bit big for this while the others are right size
Will run them with recirculating drip system, on rockwoool slabs , same system I did learn to grow on, back in 2000.
I did choose this over dwc as I can run more clones/m2 , sending them straight to flowering after rooting or with very minimal veg time ( 4/6 days) without breaking my back carrying hectoliters from the r/o to the growroom
When the Wilmaxl will be here I’ll give it a try, anyway as for the same scope it seems great.
Bigger clones on the right are Grapestompers
DS
Update on the flowering ones…
ESB : heavy leaning on the sativa side… looks like she’ll need 10/11 weeks to finish, orangy spicy smell, really promising… resin production is ok
WRXBD
The White Romulan clearly gives a great resin production to the offspring… here as in the WRxCH I did run earlier on.
She threw up 2 male flowers on the 5/8 internodes on the main stem so not breeding material, but could be a good clone mom for production if she confirm not throwing up more…
Lowers :
Plants looking great man. Those durbans look like mag whores
The WRxBD is a great plant overall… strong, big, stinks heavily of diesel, (even too much.) with a balsamic undertone…
Buds are gaining weight and lots of resin…
Those are at the 7th internode…
DT : she’s a little nice candle covered in resin… Little root development too but overall shes very healthy and happy…
ESB : she’s absolutely my favorite of the lot…
Great structure, heavily sativa but anyway compact , 20 cm shorter than the WRxBD ( that is a little giant).
Buds are starting to fill just now, but looks like she has quite a bit of time to do it…
Clone rooted in less than 48 hours, and is growing good in soil as new mom in the house .
That’s all for now…
