Hey Overgrowers,
At the mo I’m growing 4 clones:
Lava Cake x 2,
Sherbanger #22,
Jealous Candy
And from seed I’ve got 10 plants:
5 x Cherry Soul,
5 x Shivas Soul,
Both strains are from Trichome Jungle Seeds.

Thats a delicate balancing act.
Things are looking great!

The seed plants are looking a tad deficient, slight interveinal chlorosis.
I just repotted them today, from small pots to their final 16ltr pots.
I’ll root them into that size pot for a bit then flower.
I’ll do 10 plants in a 1.2msq space, I know it doesn’t tessellate, but I’ve got 10 to test so gotta test 10.
Any one of them could be a keeper.
I’m hoping from cherry, antiseptic, gas terps from the Cherry Soul and Frankincense from the Shivas Soul.

I’m growing in Guanokalong soil and mixing Ecothrive Lifecycle in as a dry amendment.
Then watering with Ecothrive Biosys, in un-P.H.ed tap water.
Seeing how long I can just run on plain water after the biosys, then water in some Guanokalong nutes if they look deficient.

Ah yeah, I meant to point out the Jealous Candy is remaining squat, and I’ve had to elevate it.

Also, the Bigger clones are beginning flowering now (maybe a week so far) in 56ltr fabric pots with 50ltrs of soil in each.
Some progress:
The larger plants are starting to flower. Need to do some below canopy trimming.
The smaller seed plants are getting bigger, and looking healthier.
I mulched with plastic to deter algae and fungus gnats (only seen 1 or 2), got some nematodes on order.
Unsure when to flower (they almost look like they could be flipped now) because 1.2msq is all they’re getting. I’ve got to take clones before I flower, so not sure whether to top again or not. When I flower, I’m thinking I’ll need 8 tops per plant, but maybe 4 tops per plant will do…
The top 5 are Cherry Soul. The bottom 5 are Shivas Soul (Trichome Jungle Seeds).
The Shivas Soul were sprouted about a week after the Cherry Soul, but when repotted the Shivas Soul bounced back quicker than the Cherry Soul, but the Cherry Souls were looking desperate for a repot so probably stressed.
Any advice gratefully accepted.

Everything got a heavy prune.
Small ones got topped to have 8 heads a plant. I’ve taken cuts of them, so hopefully they’ll root, and I can flip them to flower once they bounce back from the prune.
Large ones got heavy bottom prune, and some LST on the tops. Really hoping this Jealous Candy is going to be worthwhile, it’s very small compared to the rest.
I’ve given Nematodes to everything and have put plastic coverings on my soil tops to contain moisture and control fungus gnats and algae.

Well, I’m still getting used to LED’s.
I had the vegging seed plants on 24hr light, which hasn’t been a problem with other sorts of lighting.
I was getting some kinda leaf necrosis, but I think I’ve got them back on track with 6 hours of darkness a day. It’s weird how some plants are doing so well and others are really bunched up. Again, I’m wondering about too great an intensity of light. I’d love a bit more stretchy branches. But anyway, I’ve got a rooted clone of each seed plant, so I’m technically ready to flower whenever I deem them big enough.
The big flowering plants are progressing nicely, apart from the Jealous Candy, which is still basically a runt compared to the others.

All the seed plants have now been put in the flowering space.
Going to start some new seeds on the 14th of October (new moon plus my birthday).
Got a cut of each of the seed plants vegging just in case I find a keeper.
The larger flowering plants are smelling pretty good now.

Progress.
Seed plant cuttings have been repotted.
Out of all the seed plants, one seems a little bit more Sativa and one is still quite small.

Well my grow got robbed.
They took all my plants bar 4 of the freshly potted ones.
They also took my 2 Lumatek led lights and a load of led strip lights.
I’ve been left with 4 plants and 1 led strip light.
Basically I’ve got to get my head round it, buy more equipment and increase my security.
Still spinning out at the mo, but I’ll get my shit together and keep on keeping on.
