hey everyone figured i should try and win SUBCOOLS contest he has running. so here goes a few months back i asked SUB what he suggests for insomnia he stated VORTEX was great for that.so i grabbed a pack of them and threw all 10 seeds down.all 10 germed and grew in miracle grow with 35% perlite mix.never fed the soil strictly water.now out of the 10 i only got 3 females.2 are identical and the last one being the strangest plant from seed i ever grown(all pics much later today sorry its a drive).all 3 shown sex within 4 weeks of seedling stage.from those 3 MOMS i took over 50 cuts and 7 didnt root.leaves me with 43 clones that i vegged for 3 weeks.all 43 clones are in haf gallon easter containers lol. i know small but wait to you see my pics later.i placed 43 clones along with the 3 MOMS into flowering on 11-19-09. thats right bitches i currently have a total of 50 VORTEX plants in budding in a 8x8 room with a single 1000hps and a dehumidifier.plants temps are between 75-85 during its day. i feed them tiger bloom then do 2 waters before going back to tiger bloom.i water at least 3 times weekly due to small containers plus the dehumudifier does do an excellent job(40%).as of today they are getting resin on the leaves and starting to smell(very raw smell of berries).the 3 MOMS are about 5 feet tall with at least 15 heads(5 gallon bags).when i get to show off my pix later. i will do weekly updates from tonite on until chop which i hope will be around mid january.please bear with me from this point on it will be real time growth but i will post pix of how i got to my MOMS.anything i might have forgotten please ask grow equipment? or grow style? i kept this grow very simple just soil and lights no new techniques.first time flowering out VORTEX taking a huge risk devoting whole room for it when i have a stable of other MOMS that i have in waiting(bubblegum,cherry chunk,bbxgf).any advice and questions are welcomed as long its positive not troll like

Very nice! They are looking very healthy.

With bigger pots those buds would have exploded!
I had seen a grow similar to this a few years ago. The person had a lot of plants, such as you, and need to find a balance between space compensation and root grow area. Using soil, he had potted each plant in a 3 liter soda bottle. It had looked very neat once all the plants were aligned together, and also allowed moderate root mass to establish for each, although vertically. Your grow reminded me of it. Perhaps that technique might be of some use for you next time, being how you have 8x8, that is a good useful size for that many babies.

That last jungle pic looks killer!

finally some feedback. yeah first run and will improve on it next run.but real growers need to try new things so they can get hands on experience and not always do the same old thing.just my thoughts on improving one owns skill.but i dont think i will do as many girls next run too much work on my back.
