F1’s fine then…no way im endangering my ladies, would ruin my day!

What you want back, I’m clean, you can have cuts or seeds. You should try my Haze, watch the 2 in my run, they should impress.

It was definitely a learning experience!! Will have a small quarantine tent set up here soon for any incoming clones.

@Jetdro There are 9 seeds left, fem seeds. Your’e welcome to them. Only thing I ask, IF you keep one as a mom, and I ever lose mine, that you would send a clone of her back.

Just let me know. Not big on trades. Would much rather freely give with no expectations. If you have cuts later, I would gladly take some. But I am old enough to know that trades don’t always work out so well! Just my 2 cents.

Clones have been in the Octo’s for 4 days now. All doing well. Have 2-3 where the top leaves are now more horizontal. Some roots have found some moisture. The rest are still a little droopy. But I did not have the flop that is common in the first week in the Octo’s. Don’t know if it’s because I cupped them for a week or it’s @Jetdro’s new idea for watering during transplant. Either way I am happy!!

I expect new growth from at least those 3 in the next 3-4 days. And then the fun begins!!

Still trying to decide HOW I’m going to grow these 3 strains. I know that the StarDawg is a flopper. I’m a short fat old guy and hanging yo-yo’s in the middle of a 5x5, around lights, fans can be a pain in the ass!!

Tried a trellis once, but trimming below the net on the inside middle two was again a pain in the ass!! Trying to control the growth in the Octo’s is your biggest challenge.

Here’s a couple pics.

It used to smell like a sweaty gym sock all through the grow. Now that’s it’s jarred I’m getting more of a sweeter smell. I’m hoping to let it go through a 3 month cure or longer…if I can keep my hands off it until then.

Horsebadorites makes those, like, personal trellis things for his pots (I think he uses bamboo), where each pot has its own separate trellis. I’m sure other people do that, too, but he’s who I think of when I think of them. I dunno if that’d be any easier than just hanging a trellis across the whole thing, but it might be something to consider. I’ve considered doing it myself, actually, but I’m lazy haha. I always just use stakes and floral tape. I don’t wanna build something if I don’t have to…

One main question…what’s the consensus on Soil composition? I have a handle on the Nutrients I’ll be using, but can’t decide on the soil-makeup. Inputs, PLEASE!! SS/BW…mister :honeybee: :100: :pray: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
