Nice frosty nugs man, hows the snow up your way, just got about 4 inches here, going to have to get the snow blower out in a minute, and clear the drive.

These are taken with my Galaxy A8 and a cheap ($7) macro lens kit from Amazon. And lots and lots of exposures.

I dont have macro stuff for my DSLR but I find this setup works fine anyways for this purpose.

Day 9

Today the seedlings look overwatered. Yellow cotyledons and drooping. Strange because the pots were pretty light yesterday when I watered them (first time in 3 days) Still not growing, like at all. Fuck.

And these are the 3 BEST looking seedlings…

Have you fed these little guys yet? Could they be hungry?

Fed them a 70% dose of MaxiBloom twice now, so there should be plenty of nutrition in the coco.

All my variables are micromanaged I just dont know which variable is causing this. Like I’ve ensured everything is 100% by the book this round (I usually keep things pretty simple) and this is the result.

Day 50

So with only a week or so left on the Bridgelux tent I should be making plans for next run and I’m just so indecisive and have a few things I need to decide on.

I accidentally(?) Bought 3 #3 (3.3gal) pots that are considerably bigger than my #2 pots that I’m currently running. I dont think I can return them and really cant afford to buy any more, so should I run three of them next round instead of the four #2 (2.5gal) pots I’m currently using. More coco, more nutrients, but potentially a bigger plant. I could also under fill it but I hate underfilling because air cant get to the soil surface as easily.

On the other hand, I have a bunch of brand new 3gal fabric pots here but have never ran fabric pots and worry about stuff I probably shouldnt worry about.

Also, I really like the way these GTxSBR turned out but I had some early flower intersex issues and I dont know if I’m ready to run them again while watching for pollen sacs the whole way through. But I really really like the strain so I’m at odds here.

I dont know I hate decisions… here is a pic of an incredibly frosty GTxSBR that I just cant wait to harvest.

The other GTxSBR really starting to frost up too

This green pheno of the Dark Sparks will likely be the first to be chopped.

I soaked a few more seeds for the mars tent as a couple of the ones in there are dead now. Still haven’t figured out what’s going on in there. Going to end up having 2 concurrent runs pretty much lol

You could throw some gravel in the bottom of the pots, help with drainage, and wont use up your coco. The only difference with fabric pots is they dry out faster and can leak fluids from anywhere.

Mute your volume lol

And yeah @Shadey I just have to look and see what I got left for media. I kinda wanna try the fabric pots as they’re closer in size to what I want to run but if I can throw my soil, coco, and some perlite together and fill these larger ones then I’d likely try that for fun. Problem with fabric pots is I’d need some sort of pot elevator or something to keep them up off the tray.

Meanwhile, if you have some of these around… diy a temporary plant-lift.

You can cut it to fit in your drain tray, or just cut the panel in half and use in any drain tray you have.

You just summed up how I feel about this cross. For what it’s worth, @anon32470837 didnt seem to have any intersex issues… but you, Mr.S, Toast, and Meesh have! :sleepy:
