You can sure see the Colombian in those long leaves. They look great.

To my knowledge, I've never smoked any Columbian land race. Would it be dominant in any common hybrids that I likely have seen?

This is the first time i've grown it btw

you definitely have a point there.

It was only one random set of bananas and none since. I'm not 100% sure that i didn't cause it either. Could MAC F2's have a tendency to herm?

I'll keep an eye on it and if it becomes a common theme for #4 I will have to eliminate the unclean one.

If there was one there will likely be others so make sure you go through all of em. Also I’ve grown Plants that have Hermed at that same stage and I put it in it’s seperate tent and did a little experiment. I picked all male sacks from the plant and let it keep growing. All be it, it did have some seeds but not as much as you might think. I found only about ten in one ounces and the buds did take a hit on quality but not trichome production. Lol
I went ahead and pressed it all any ads so it wouldn’t go to waste. Lol

But like I said check it almost everyday cause they grow fast if you don’t watch it. I would say if you fine more take it out or purge it. Lol

Still looking good day 42.

It's almost like there was more growth in the last day than there has been for a week!

What are you shooting your pics with? The quality is on point!

SOB, this tells me I need to really work on the work I do with my Pixel. I shoot decent quality, but your pics are damn near dedicated camera level. Kudos!

I dunno I just work the angles. Plus you might be under different lighting conditions that throw off your camera's sensor. The white balance capabilities on cell phones cameras is terrible compared to DSLR mirrorless or even a point and shoot.

That I've noticed. In my last pictures, I turned the lights in the tent down to 25% and the picture quality was significantly better. Flash washes everything out, 100% intensity taints everything in orange/yellow and I think the camera software just pukes all over itself trying to level everything out. Diffused lighting plus working with the white balance on the phone should yield better results going forward. Plus, if I can get photos close to finished, ten minutes in GIMP will yield much better results I think. You got me thinking now.

Also I'm under cmh

Samsung for the win atm for me. Love my a21s quad, only £150 too,bargain there's loads of cheap dual sim models the asian Market won't buy as they want the most up to date model. One man's garbage is another's prize possession.

Ive also been using the wife's led ring for streaming, gives perfect cover of light fir pics of plants and you can turn it up and down, 2400k up to 6000kwas thinking of side lighting in the tent

Definitely POTM status! Well done!

Thank you sir!

Scratching my head as to what I'm going to do with these 10 clones I have here in solo cups for the next 3 weeks while my first run finishes.

2 or 3 of them are the unique pheno #4, and the rest are ostensibly, less special phenos.

I have 2 4x4 tents and 2 315w CMH, some HO T5s, and a 300w (175w pull) old school Mars hydro led.

I want to avoid letting them go in veg for too long again but it's gonna be tight. 5 of them are already pushing 22" in the solo cups. That's without any topping or training. I'll cut them back to keep the height down.

I might take cuttings from all of them, just incase I find another keeper, but I'm not entirely attached to the idea, I just failed at labeling most of my clones last time. (They all got mixed up except for #4 - long story).

Here are my options as I see it, feel free to suggest alternatives:

I have 10 clones.

1. Put 4 in one tent 4 in the other. Each under a single 315w. Flower.
Set aside 2 for mothers for round 3.

- This seems like the simplest solution but I lose the genetics from the other 5 phenos. Also I plan on drying in one of the tents to contain the smell, so that adds up to 2 more weeks time before I can split up the group between the tents. That would be not be terrible but I'm not going to be happy if they get too tall again.

2. Prune and clone (and properly label) everything, then flower out 6 of them under the double 315w CMH setup I have in one tent.

In the veg tent, Keep new set of clones for possible mothers and next round of flower.

Keep 4 plants for possible mothers also.

- this solution ends with me having more plants than I know what to do with. (4 in flower, 20 clones, 6 veg)

I'm really leaning towards the simple way.

I like option 2. But where would you keep your moms in either scenario?

Cut 4 clones of each and keep the moms until confirmed rooted... should be about perfect timing if you need 3 weeks. 10 days to root and 10 more should be ripe for transplant...

Looking great btw.

So one scenario, after harvesting and drying, I will have 8 plants in 2 tents all flowering at once, but with some clones and mommas on the side, and the other scenario I will have 4 plants flowering, the next generation of clones going, and will be ready to start round 3 immediately.


I feel like the timing of successive rounds at the rate of growth I've been seeing will be rubbing up on the previous cycle. Meaning, I need to be able to scrog in the veg tent to begin with, and just be ready to flip to 12/12.


What would you do?

I could either set up a small tent or customize the work bench to be light proof underneath.
