A little update. At about 10 days flower, whole room. And some picks that I have my eye on.

About 19 days here
I selectively pollenated a couple branches of some of my keepers. We’'ll see how it goes. One pollen was a good 6 months old but a little clumpy (possibly residual moisture?)… one pollen was still nice and powdery. Will find out how it went shortly.

Weed 5 of Flower
Couple of plants seem to be little Calcium hogs. May up my feed a little going forward. Otherwise everything looks pretty good!

What nutes are you using? When you run this many strains, do you feed everything the same? Thanks for letting us follow along!!

@DannyTerpintine to me they look pretty good! I don’t know what are the signs you look for that they need more calcium? the lighter color on the edges??

Last run I switched to Remo Nutes. That’s what I’m running this time as well. (I was actually looking at dry salts, but got the Remo line delivered, on sale, cheaper than it would have been to get the dry. It was during lockdown though - not sure if that affected shipping prices and what not.)
A couple Phenos, maybe like 2 of the partially seeded ones, have orange edges on the fan leaves, and orange dots on a few fan leaves. Seems like calcium def, but if it’s not bugging them/getting worse I would not worry too much about it. But since they are seeded, I’d rather them have the extra bit of nutrients. (ie: “The Mac Stomper f2 24 @spaceboundgenes 03” labelled picture, towards the bottom of the pic.)
Everything is on the same feed/strength. Towards the end I will switch to water only for the unseeded, but keep feeding the partially seeded ones all the way through. After next week I’ll switch to RO only for the unseeded.
The only variable is the amount of water each gets. Since I hand water with a wand, The Colombian Gold x Mac in a 1.5gal gets about the same amount of water as a heavily root 2gal. (Almost 2-3x as much as some of the others).

Here is what I am talking about. I believe I may has only partially diagnosed it in my previous post.
So here’s the deal. I have not checked ph of water the entire week every single feeding. (That’s a good 10-12 feedings.) Ph was a little on the lower side.
I also have been feeding a little hot. (Around 1.6EC / 1150ppmx700).
So I believe those two things caused burnt tips + calcium lockout caused the orange spots.
Anyways, mixing new Rez water tomorrow, so I will fix all of that.

Thank you, that photo really shows the orange spots!! I’ll have to keep that one in my memory, but I don’t push nutrients to that level

Week 6 Flower Update
You can see some of the burning/lockout damage from the non ph’d feedings. For the most part it has been corrected.
Got a couple nice Phenos I’m very excited to try! Pulled out the microscope today and looks like I might be able to take a couple non-seeded branches of a few strains at 7 weeks.
…if I do take things early, that is when things can get a little funny. (Ie: They won’t get a full 3 weeks of plain water.) But that’s part of the Pheno hunt. I will take that into account when judging my selections.
That’s going on too. DWC! Imo not as interesting as a Pheno hunt! But still fun.

Here’s a couple really close to finish at 7 weeks. I took a couple branches down on the half pollenated ones (left the seeded part).
Not sure why the rest of the pics didn’t download from my device, so I’ll have to sort through those pics in a bit. But here’s the finished ones.

Here’s the rest of the 7 Week Pics

And a few more finished shots. (P.s. just curious… these were some of my testers that I’m very happy with. Would anyone have any interest in running any of these? (Mac Stomper crosses)… just gauging interest, maybe I can do some giveaway or server donation/fundraiser? )
(…But before I falsely get your hopes up, not the Mac Stomper F2 or Colombian Mac as I don’t have seeds of those atm.)
(Both the Washing Machine X Mac Stomper, and the Swackhammer below were grown start to finish in Solo Cups.)

A few more. Starting to wrap things up. Left a few girls as I’d like the seeded ones to be fully ripe. But pretty close to done now.
These pics are 8-9 weeks. Some were grown in solo cups (labelled so), and the rest were 1.5gal’s.
Everything in this room went through a series of “stress test” scenarios.
