@Gpaw Hey Bro its sure is lmao.These seeds that @Mongobongo gave me have some of the most vigorous growth i have encountered.Just lined the closet in shiney renyolds foil until the dual liner i ordered comes in a week.Just set up 5 1000w equivelant LED lights ,covered the floor in clear poly and will move a bunch of plants to free up space.Will definitely be making seeds of all these strains and some crosses to.4 days in to 12/12 they are growing crazy and its a fun problem to have.They are going to get a feed of molassess,phytophlankton and promix organic fert before lights off.Waiting for the 44 to show sex,so they can be split up and i can take cuttings of the females,Plan on taking 3 from each female.

Now i just have to finish of the other closet.But that is a task for Sunday or Monday.Grab a couple of totes,pumps and airstones to make a couple more ghetto cloners…Oh and sometime in the week grab 5 more 85l bags of promix before its sold out near me.

So as Gpaw noted the tent looked busier than the tokyo subway at rush hour.So here we go.I had 44 plants from seed and 4 clones in the tent.The 44 plansts 30days from seed soak went into 12/12 , no way i could veg them longer in the 4x8 tent as you can see .

So I layered the closet walls in shiny foil till the dual layer poly arrives in a week.Set up 6 tolys 1000w equivilent LEDS and a fan…I moved 16

plants to the closet and have 32 in the tent.Starting the 5th day of 12/12 i am expecting to see males soon.They will be moved to another room as they show.The tent is running 1000w HPS and 2 toly 1000w LEDs.I took pics of all the plants to compare the way they grow under the different lights.Also after I took the pics of each plant I did some branch cracking to each one.

The Closet Plants Day 1















Of note the OH,HC and SDSL x GSN,SDSL X BC all had very sticky stalks as i was twisting and snapping them with a heavy sweet stench of hash.

Yo @Gpaw how goes it bro?I have to agree though i think they will stuff it full in a week.16 plants removed a day ago they are claiming space already lol

24 hours after the split up,The Closet with 16 plants


The Tent 24hrs after 16plants evicted.


5th day of 12/12 still waiting to identify males to free up space,and do a trim and tie on the females for the main flower period…Will update pics tomorrow of the auto Northern Lights and the rugburnOG and SourTangie cuttings ready for soil.Have a great night or day all.

12days from seed soak,Auto Fem Norther Lights plant 1 developing nicely.


Auto fem N.L plant 2 this is the one that i accidentally ripped out the ground when the soil stuck in the humid jar,tearing off the main taproot.Its trying to grow,like my plant wanna live,i am not ready to give up on Ripped

The cuttings taken 8 days ago of the SourTangie and RugburnOG are still lush and green with root bumps showing or first root,another 3 days and will transplant to 1gal fabric pots and put under the domed veg chamber

The second batch of 20 seeds of SDSL X GSN,SDSL X BC,OGer x CR,OH,HC,DBHP,MWCB leaving them in the 16oz cups for now.On this run i topped them all at the 3rd node.They are developing 4 nice main chutes now.I am thinking in a week i will put them in the flower in a cabinet and let them do a mystery orgy,for some funky crosses.Sort of a mystery seed grow.With the selection of strains there will be bound to be some hidden winners amongst them.Its that or i cull the males and do a 16oz cup flower run and see what the produce.The 3rd option is to let them veg and top them again and use them with the auto strains i will be starting soon.




A few close ups of the 3rd node toppers

After seeing how all the strains have responded to topping at the 3rd node and comparing to the first batch i fimmed at the 8th node that are in flower now.Going forward the cuttings i take from each mom when rooted will all be topped at the 3rd node,branching will then be fimmed.

Day 6 of 12/12 and 2 days since i moved 16 plants out the tent and into a closet under 6 sets of LEDS. @Mongobongo i am expecting a pack of angry Giants to appear at my door anytime now looking for their magic beanstalk beans,the way these plants have grown for seed soak 36days ago is freaking unreal…Whats really scary is 6days into flower and so far out of the 44 seeds not 1 male has shown yet.I am or was expecting half to be male.If half do not turn out to be male i am going to need a 3rd flower room to split them up again to tie them open.

The 16 closet plants under LED at 12in from lights 2days in closet.6th day of 12/12

The 32 Tent plants 36days from seed soak.6th day of 12/12.2nd day since split up.No males showing here yet.Plants wasted no time claiming the extra space.Under 1000w HPS and 1 toly 1000w LED

The auto fem N.L
Ripped is slowly coming on.Her leaves are starting to grow.Wish i had not ripped her out the soil.Be intrested to see how she would stack up to her sista.

I give you Ty-doSpread , her sista as she is now getting tied down and spread wide like a good little vixen.


Right now i pulled down the 4 biggest fan leaves to open up the nodes.As the nodes get more light and grow i will continue to pull the big fan leaves down and the node growth will be positioned into the open gaps.The 3rd set of leaves should be ready to be brought down tomorrow or Wednesday…Being an auto i do not want to remove any leaves and want to maximize node growth and branching without topping or pinching…I will do the same to Ripped as she slowly comes along.
