Princess 88 x Cinderella 99 - FDM seeds

[sk1]

Small update:

2, 4, 6 and 8 confirmed females. The boys are at the bathroom, need to give them some nutes.
Girls transplanted to the DWC. Two not liked the “transplant” (I probably smashed too many roots in the proccess), the other two are a lot better.

Topped one and did a bit of training:

Below you can see that the root ball not fit realy well at the net pot, so I smashed it in (yeah, I know, I am a bad dad sometimes -
Anyway, the roots are growing fast

Preliminary training done, need to cut still some small tips

I plan to do a proper update further this week

[sk1]

Finishing the training. Nice structure on both plants that had no transplant stress. Vigorous as expected.
Here is #8 (the same one as the las pic at the previous post)

I trained them today, cut here and there, tomorrow they should be ready for a “group shot”

The ammount of roots at the tank is umbelievable.

[sk1]

Finally a proper group shot. Everyone looking happy.

Plans to flip tomorrow. Normally I would wait a little more (just about 40 days old) but the cannopy is filled, so… here we GO !!

[sk1]

Ah, some data:
Pushed the lights a bit

PH 5.8
EC: 1.3

[sk1]

The white mass under the water is amazing. Two weeks in the system

More to come too

Nice leaves, this one is a bit smashed as it was pressed at the tent wall. But you can get the idea.

[sk1]

Filling up, 12/12 started (4 days ago)
EC: 1.2 (shows 0.98 at the pic but that are the bubbles interfering)
Some plants have slight nute burn (almost invisble, very tips), so will keep it low, as other than that they are happy. Small smell variation from the girls.
The males got one with roasted cofee undertones and other minty. Crazy !

[sk1]

Maybe I am paranoid, but looks like the red lights from the inkbird thing controlling the temperature/humidity was slowing the flowering flip.
So, out of the tent you two:

Installed a second scrog net

Little hairs

[ReikoX]

Your not crazy, I’ve had it happen to a friend before. Good moving those out.

[sk1]

Almost two weeks flowering and so little hairs also help me to think about it, hehehe

Counter reseted: One day flowering !!

[Bongedtobits]

Mans got roots! Look at the crisp white colour of those beauties. Fine work. Crushing the game.

[SquirtleSquad]

Makes me look forward to running my FDM gear

[Bongedtobits]

Oh my Lord you will be amazed. I honestly thought FDM disappeared and was consideing back crossing my ESB mum.

Then I joined here and was like oh that has saved me 10 years as you can still get them.

I think I got some of UK420 in the earl 2000’s.

I will be buying generals daughter again. One of my favs.

@Baudelaire work is amazing. Top tier genetics.

[SquirtleSquad]

Not to derail this thread, but which should I run first?

Generals Daughter
ESB
Sweet Tooth
C99

[Bongedtobits]

All of them psml. C99 is really easy to grow. Basically bulletproof. So if go for them myself.

I’m sure lots of other members could give great suggestions.

I have never ran the sweet tooth so they may be even better.
@Baudelaire will be able to give you by far the most info on all the cultivars.

[sk1]

Finally got the right EC there in my tent.
Just 0.9, and the pH and EC are stable as the water is lowering fast. The new air pump / stones are doing some kind of miracle it seems

Last grow (other strains), at this same stage, the sweet spot was 1.2. But a lot of less air.

[sk1]

Water change day, already replaced 120% of the initial volume, so here we go.
Root porn

[SquirtleSquad]

Shit is like a club with a foam party going on. Roots on top of roots. Looks great

[sk1]

Girls are starting to show sexyness, drinking a lot.

Reached a static pH and EC (with the water level lowering a lot) at amazing 0.85EC.

These girls are low feeders, but they must be some of the most efficient plants ever as the vigour is there without doubt. I am really liking this.

@Baudelaire congrats man, they all have almost the same smell (the “sweet” grapefruit smell pheno). One super sweet almost gum like. Yummm.
This is good as I not loved much the “spoiled pineaple” pheno back in the day.
Also really uniform, almost like growing clones, one is a tad smaller than the others, but not much.

Some pics, not exciting, early teens, but they will grow

[Bongedtobits]

Great looking plants FDM for the win!

[sk1]

Hey wait, got a group shot !!!
