Been a hot minute since I posted here, lots of spring projects around the house, painters just showed up this morning to start taping off the house for our full strip and lead remediation primer encapsulation, then the nice paint job. Gonna be a beast of a month with this but we got the best guy around and I can tell his crew is good. This was definitely a case of buy once, cry once.
Anyways, also been reorganizing the Magic Wand Factory, got some plants ready to flip to flower in a few days, and I’ve been working on my seed starting with practice and some different, simpler techniques with direct sowing into my soil cut 1:1 with perlite. I have been needing more LITFA in my sprouting to stop killing seeds and my numbers keep improving, so that’s good. I also realized that I’ve basically been running semi-continuously so I might as well just start popping seeds every week or two especially with the third tent now giving me 2x4, 3x4, and 4x4 options. I have a few more days of cleaning and setup to do before the big reveal but my space got a lot nicer and more organized to help my brain do stuff.
Veg tent was pretty chaotic before I got half of the big girls out to the 4x4 to root out and adjust spectrum before flip. Now it’s just the three Hoku- Villain OG in the back left (by far the smallest, weakest plant, not very impressive so far but steady), OC V2 front left (beast beast beast plant, obviously hemp, have to fight the damn thing back constantly- I love her), and Rhinestone Villain front right being the best structured and behaved overall- she drinks almost as much as the larger OC plant, isn’t finicky, seems to have good stems. Scattered around on the floor are three Malana Himchal Pradesh in the large squares and a TGTB Big Don in the fourth one. Two FDM Ortega Mix in the tall 3” squares. The 3” short squares are pairs of Bad Dawg Gorilla Bubble x Cake Fighter, Ortega Mix, @LouDog420 / @Tonygreen Bubblehead #9 x Violeta, some Triple Spice from @Foreigner and a single pretty pale but sprouting bag seed from some Ethos Kitchen Sink I got at a local dispensary a few years ago and found while repacking seeds into cryotubes lately.
In the big tent are my three Type 1 ladies this round, in 15 and 25 gallon fabric tree pots from 247Garden, which have really changed my growing. On the left is a TGTB G-Unit fem, which is bred with the dometop GB BX5 male for that extra chonk. She’s gonna need topdressing immediately with how much she took off vs the other two after getting out of a 2G fabric pot, since she landed in a smaller pot with a slightly richer mix but look at her go she’s getting half the tent for sure! On the right in the back is a Useful Seeds (RIP) Chem D x Bag of Oranges from the Secret Santa this year- thanks mystery gifter, she’s looking amazing. Front right is Blueberry (Archive cut) x T-1000 from CSI, made and gifted to me by @iamyou_youareme . She’s a weird lady! Shaping up to be just as much of a mutant freak as the Blue Tara I just finished, which is exactly what I want in a Blueberry plant, nice work!

i didn’t get nor see any of those but I have everything else. Need to get to those at some point here. All definitely worth running!
