No 6 trained GG4 cuts at 3.5 feet in veg. To same guy that gave me the overgrown mother they came from…lol. Good guy he set me up 8 hoods lamps and ballasts when I got into it. Waiting for him to hand down his Gavitas.

Wow nice sweet deal! Hortilux bulbs really are worth the investment they make a big difference.

Getting her done dropped another 15 seeds playing with techniques to accelerate after germ. They will be lining up at the flower room door for admittance. Only the strong and fast survive.

If you guys want to see the technique I use for stalk training, started at 3 weeks in solo cups this time. Will post here
I will show updated in the jungle too.

Day 26: another 10 sprouts in coco pods. Everything but the 6 mystery seeds popped, out a little HP solution on them and give them a day before I crack them. Been training the teens for a thick trunk, a few days and I’ll top from 6 down to 4 to give me at least 8 nice branches for stretch and big colas. You can see them starting to bulge out after a few days I will continue until it is too firm to compress anymore. I’m ready for repot on first batch this week but I’m out of coco and happy frog. Have to get some essentials tomorrow I’ll give it a shot at local if not there’s a place that will deliver not too far. Buds in flower are loving PK boost and new Hortilux 1000+ HPS with clean tubes. Are shooting a second set of pistils on the tops and stacking together 8-9 nodes deep. The purple Thai is starting to bust out also in all her Sativa glory, little bag seed bitch is the prettiest plant I’ve ever grown, Squat thick and symmetrical, cannot wait to see her fade out the last few weeks should be a color show.

Day 29: up-pot day for the 1st landrace run. All are getting gallon pots. Did some remodeling yesterday. Put up two walls so I don’t go completely blind. Also gained me space for another “flip” shelf to get them in flower quicker. 2-3 weeks I think. That shaved a week off my schedule. Running som side by sides in germ to see if I can shave anymore. Puts me at seed to flower in 5-6 weeks. Also I found out I had a bad timer on my intake air. Synched all my timers and moved tops back to a foot from light as I had a slight tip burn after clean tubes and new bulbs. Should be able to dial in my temps and air exchange much petter in the more enclosed space.
Check out the hash plant that bled dark purple when I topped it.

Gotta protect those eyes, and the walls will help keep the light in making it more efficient

Coco Loco is okay for a bagged soil. It will probably need a bit of amendments/food to make it all the way through flower.

We got a bleeder!
The only other strain I’ve seen do that is the dragons blood hashplant, must be something in the HP genetics. Really cool.

I’ll start at 25% AB and work up from there, thanks for info. Am trying to work my way more organic anyways. I only feed every other dry cycle as it is. I didn’t water the rest because they were still full wet in cups. Letting the two soils mesh before I water.

Oh nice! I have seen some sativa’s do that red blood looking sap. Pretty sure I saw it from Sam’s ohaze line but not 100% positive.

Day 30: Everyone looks to have survived the re-pot and toPping and are back praying to the gods of light. That is except for one mystery (indica?)? Have her a watering til drain them wronged it out, we’ll see how she does today with a little more light and a whole lot of LITFA.
Have some of Diddys pollen on the way, thinking maybe crossing with the “purple bleeding” Beldia.
They did not have all my normal ingredients for my mix at the grow store so I opted for COCO-LOCO, has anyone run this? Premix and triple washed. Has bat guano and worm castings along with a host of microbes. As Pres. Dump says.” I dunno, I think it might work, were just gonna have to wait and see.!’:;()$&@“ it was actually a bit cheaper and I loaded up since I am only getting out every 10 days or so, guess you know where my stimulant check went…lol
Ok so here’s the plan , run these grunts through some wet to dry cycles to get some aggressive growth going. Would like to have 20” going to flower by end of month for flip. Goal is for consistency in watching development of multiple strains. Training for thick stalks to main manifold. (And fill some jars with top shelf stash for meds)…ok here’s the morning photo dump, I’ll check back later and see how the patient respond to some premium Flint Michigan water. JK

Actually I made a mistake… obviously the bleeding trait is attributed to the DRAGONS BLOOD side of the cross

Guess who’s perking up, Mystery plant started taking in some premium H2O , little weak fish emulsion foliar this morning snapped it out of the weep. Also the runt Red has decide to be the comeback kid. Been playing with a bottom feed Shaker from cups and look what I found… that small and the tap is already reaching bottom. Two weeks to make a run for it. Have a feeling it will get held back a grade, gets an A for persistence…always liked an under dog.lstrong text

*Day 31,day 2 veg: Here we Grow, School Picture day all the plants are taking to the new soil well, gonna let them go until almost dry before starting them on water only. Beldia are shooting their tops already. Blood pheno has a dark scab where it was topped still. Has a much closer node spacing and darker color. Other is stretching more hoping for M/F with 2 seeds. Two mystery seeds are impressing me, one indica leaning the other looks Sativa x, we’ll se if anyone can guess them as they mature?
The stalk training seems to have taken well, should be very title stress froM here on out with me bunching pot and tops all together. Let’s see what they do in 2 weeks and maybe a few will gain entrance to The Jungle.

Day 33: I’ve been acquiring and dropping beans for runs two and three. Having germ problems with a whole tray, found some whispy mold on the soil. 
Good news out of the 14 the only important ones were 3 bangi haze, dropped 2 more. Keeping one for later. Have 9 sprouts going with one bangi , 4 Alaska kush x BP, 3 BP x Skunk#1, 1 GG4. Going to let other tray dry a bit and see if I get any action. Been starting the wife’s outdoor grows also 100% on those …lol.
The first run is vegging in 24/0 and stretching out, 3”s the last week. Looks like first for will get into the jungle on a low shelf next weekend at 12/12.
2-Morrocan beldia
2-mystery seeds ( keeping pace)
Guessing they should be near 20” by then. Holding the Panama reds back for a few weeks to get a bit bigger. We lost our underdog had 4” of roots but never took off above ground.,.”playing Taps”.
As for the 7 gorillas, checked in on them this morning and the next harvest of 3 is bending those big stalks as the buds start to stack and close up in between nodes. If they finish well the main colas could be 10-12“. Been ramping up the P&K every other feeding opposite of my nutes. Have been cutting back on nutes a bit. Been practicing wet to dry cycles to make sure the coir is drying out Every time. I water slowly to weep from all drain holes. Then check and dry trays after an hour. With the raised beds I push a lot of air under the plants too and tend to take foliage off the middles to form a chimney . it also helps dry pots a bit from bottom. another thing I have been doing after water is wringing my pots to create air pockets between soil and sides of pit’s . I Have a clear 1 gallon test pot ( slipped into a 1 1/2 black) on the Thai plant and have been observing root structure to test the theory/fact a friend has passed on. Has me convinced thru 50 days flower. Ok here’s the bud porn a and the traffic jamb in the “green room”.

Day 40 : big gorillas like to live in the light hoods, every time I drop them down they jump right back up and chase the bulb. Tied all the tops up to a Bamboo May pole, dense and chunky buds, most Cola stalks are near 1/4” and luckily pliable. According to calendar the first harvest should be May 15 for the first 2 then 10 days between the next two harvests of 3 ea. Got a bit hot last week 88F had a few calix get light burn, snipped them back after watering.
My purple Thai is scheduled for end of May. It’s supposed to go 60 I’ll check then but I’m thinking 70
First 7 plants of the mixed strains should start going in end of next week. Have two sets of seeds dropped staggered a week apart. I might hold the two Panama Red back, but they are really fighting for a spot the last last few days.
All in all the whole batch is growing as they started
Beldia - stretching Purple bleeder is a lot darker tighter nodes, more branch growth, much stouter in a breeze. Other is lighter with darker variegated veins.
Panama Red - the runt passed this week so we have 2 left, must have been high when I topped, did a FIM so it’s gonna have a few extra cola’s.
Been watching the Thia to see if I can drop down to gallon pots and not get root bound near the end. Looks good. Roots are hungry for water with the soil being aerated every feeding and not lett any run off accumulate in the pan or pot.
