My new tea cup and a platypus filled with Chai Love...

Sounds like some Morrison poetry.

I can't wait to stick my babies outside. :love2: Loving the the leaf structure on that Banana Crack man.

'O for sure, happy planting.

Trippy leaves on my indoor... Lots of extra fingers and they look like those weeping juniper looking topiarys.

This one has 11 points (including the finger growing out the top of the frond)

Oh man that is pretty cool. Especially the finger growing out of the top.

I've never seen growth like this on my plants before. Considering there are two strains here it appears this is a reaction to pruning fan leaves. Hopefully it's not a bad thing.

Gave the indoor some nutes. Was low on the Dr Earth Root Zone 2-4-2 so I added Biodiversity Kelp Zone 1-0-17 to see how it does. Not worried about the high potassium anymore because the plants have sexed, even if I'm not sure what they are yet.

Orange Creamsicle (left two), Banana Ice Cream (right). It's hard to tell the Creamsicle sex. I believe the far left OC is fem, the middle OC I'm not sure yet, and the right BIC is definitely fem.

Looks like the nutes are working and I dimmed the double a little to make them stretch.

Those COBs sure keep them compact. Defintley some sweet growth. I don’t think you have anything to worry about with the extra fan blades. Pretty sure those strains are just showing their genetic potential which is awesome.

Thank you for the vote of confidence.

Is that what it is? They're very healthy? I thought it was likely a benign mutation due to my little prune fest. Like how supercropping causes deviances. This is an aspect of growing I am not familiar with. I haven't seen anything for or against so I'm guessing it doesn't have much bearing on the outcome of the grow.

I am very pleased with the performance of the lights. My initial interest in COB tech was in due to a solar grow idea I had. COBs are perfect for solar grows. They are so efficient that I thought they were too good to be true. It's the reason I cooked my seedlings. I couldn't believe that a COB could generate enough light to grow a plant while being more than a few inches away. I have electronics training as a telecom tech but it was a long time ago and this tech is beyond anything we could have imagined when I was trained. Hence the doubt. I know they can do it and I still have trouble believing that 250w can grow over a half dozen plants. The other thing, when I was a kid the cops hunted growers by the heat they produced and the power they consumed. Most indoor growers I knew of any real sise took power directly from the poles. Now, a $1k setup of four 100w solar panels and two batteries can power the lights that grow a dozen plants, and I mean full sise plants. That's insane.

I can't help but advocate for COBs. You won't be disappointed if you buy a good set. Heck, aside from the heat, even the people buying the cheapies are raving about them. It's a new era, and whether you buy a fixture with a couple big COBs like mine, or a board with dozens, they all work (provided you buy the right spectrum).

Pulled up the Banana Crack (top right). Had to make the call and I saw no hairs. Will be replacing it with an Orange Creamsicle.

SmithsJunk · Jun 10, 2018

I've decide to pull up the outdoor Orange Creamsicle and one of the indoor Creamsicle. I'll use the two verified indoor fems, a Banana Ice Cream and Creamsicle to replace the two outdoor. Going to start or buy some clones to restart the indoor.

It all works out because with the move to my new (smaller) trailer I need to rethink how I'll do my indoor grow.

SmithsJunk · Jun 10, 2018

Now every plant in the garden is verified female.

Banana Ice Cream

Orange Creamsicle

SmithsJunk · Jun 10, 2018

I'm actually kind of excited about the tent being empty. It gives me the opportunity to diversify into even more strains. My cousin said I could use his cloner so I can hit friends up for cuttings or I can see what clones the delivery services have available. Everybody should have clones right now, tis the season. Worst case scenario, I pull all the clones from my own girls.

I'm going to try to get it down to four plants next time. Had no idea they were going to get this thick. Probably should flip the day I can identify all the preflowers but I think I'll push it. They're stacking so tight and I'm pretty sure one of the Orange Creamsicle is male. So there should be room.

Nice man it's good peace of mind to know everything outside is female and those smarties will fill up with roots righteously. Looking forward to seeing what will go into the tent in the future.

Yeah, I feel less stressed now. I was really concerned about how I was going to set up the tent. Now I can wait till I build my deck and fence my yard first. My cousin's dogs piss on everything so I need a barrier. I can't stand other people's dogs and cats when they aren't properly trained.
