I had an eighth of PM recently and yeah it smelled like that marker that shouldn't smell delicious and nose twisting.

That’s the hydra project

Kahuna 3 root stock (and center growth)

2 grafts of Frostette (1 pheno)
2 grafts of Apples and Bananas x okie (2 phenos)
1 graft Max AC (1 pheno)
2 grafts copious (1 pheno)

Waiting for the plants in the other room to be ready to take grafts off of @Variety719 AK47 x The Real Sour and AK47 x Death Star

Once I take those grafts I’ll flip those plants then I wanna remake the hydra plant again I think we’ll see haven’t fully decided yet lol

I swear the way you are grafting everything to one base stock is phenomenal. I have seen a few people do one or two grafts. But you have brought it to a whole new level. It seems way more efficient to have a single mother plant then multiple, I always end up having way to many cuts going on to be able to grow, I try to give some out here and there to a couple people I know because I am always taking more than needed, and then having to prune my mother's all the time gets tiring. I wish I could slow the mothers down just a little bit just for the reason of space.

kratky bottles like @voltage & @PlumberSoCal2 do. Me, I just keep them in rockwool cubes on starvation diet (300-400ppm) under 40w 4' led full spectrum grow light. When it's time to "wake" them up, just increase light and nutes. No matter what, they'll need trimmed back.

I have the hydra under a SE3000 at 40% (around 120w) power and about 30” from the plant top, 12 gallon fabric pot with living soil, takes about a month-month and a half to get to a cut back point, it’s slightly different than pruning a regular mother as you have to be careful to leave nodes for new growth on the grafts, and since they aren’t grafted right ray the trunk you gotta be extra careful were you cut so you don’t accidentally cut off a whole strain lol, it’s a really fun project so far along better than anticipated cant wait to see it once I remake it and flower one of them out lol

Kraky always just looks replusive, I couldn't have one around. Florida's method looks better.

I will try reducing light and nutes to lower than where she is at now.

Are you going to run one outside? And are they around the same flowering schedule for strains you have for the project?

 

[Mikedin]

They vary but about 12 days roughly but close enough they’d finish, I do wanna do one outside but we’ll see, Ill see if I can have one ready in time or if I wanna run it indoors kinda thinking indoors so I can play with her more lol

Indoor would probably be the best outcome. It would be dope to see one in its natural environment though being all unnatural being it's multiple strains growing off one root system. The variation in one spot would be a picture of a life time. Some would think it's AI but all the real ones will know you are just flexing lol. Indoor or outdoor doesn't matter, I will be following along either way.

It really would be a sick pic, if I decide to do it outdoors I’ll do it in the open bottom pot in the garden

The project 4516 x okie did awesome out there this year

 

[Mikedin]

Somebody’s sleepy as hell haha

[ChairmanFester]

I think he just needs a friend.

 

[Greenadian]

Half a gram on stick!!! Sure have been a few around these days

 

[ChairmanFester]

Well we actually haven't officially weighed anything and he's gotta be a busy man, with 7 tents and no home. I think that'd be a pain in the ass.

What's up Mike!

Plants are looking amazing. Beautiful scrog, canopy looks perfect

 

[amneziaHaze]

The 4x8 has UV/IR bars it’s the kit that is made for the Mars Hydro FC-E8000 on the far side of the tent (left side) but I have one bar in the middle of that light and the other bar in the middle of the FD6500 on the right side, they turn on an hour after lights on, stay on for 1 hour then off for 3 then on for 1 off for 3 repeat again then off till the next day gotta get a kit for the new 4x4 eventually lol

They are the single strip bars that hang an inch lower than the lights themselves

What is the uv for? Latest 10 reaserches showed no difference in thc.soo why do you use it?
