Ladmans SIP pot seed run

[Ladman]

The background is I'm cheap by necessity. Living on a fixed income doesn't leave much money for cannabis. So here is a frugal mans SIP pot grow.
I use coke cans for the reservoir and 4 gallon square buckets. For the grow medium I use Walmart Promix in the red bale with about a third by volume added perlite. Tap water and Maxi grow then Maxibloom when flowering starts.
This grow I had 8 leftover seeds, 6 photo's 1 auto and 1 regular seed. All 8 germinated albeit with some missteps.
I was really hoping the lone regular was a male and it was.
Getting the pots ready

I had 3 sprouts that were problem children, one that I tried to drown that sprouted twins, one that started off with 3 weird leaves and one super stretchy slightly deformed plant

Everybody survived, transplanted to 1 gallon pots.

And here they are going into their final SIP pots

Yes indeedy we've got seedies. Dusted both tents with pollen now we wait.

I was watering and brushed against the auto flower and heard a poink sound. The seeds are starting to drop! I sat it on some parchment paper and gave it a little shake. 12 seeds dropped, 8 that look viable. It would be nice if I didn't have to buy seeds for a while, one less expense.

The auto flower is just about done I've picked up 2 dozen seeds now, they're dropping all over. Missed one. Fertile as a turtle.

I hate what I've done to the auto flower. She was a real beauty and now she's a weathered old hag. Must stay the course, the main objective this run is seeds. I would have harvested at 8 weeks except for the seeds. We are entering the 12th week of flower and she is toasted. Just another week baby and you can rest.
Here she is going from just starting to flower to near senescence. I ran out of SIP pots so the auto flower and the male got standard 3 gallon pots.

We are approaching 8 weeks of flower, except the auto flower she's at 12 weeks.

I can't wait to smoke this one, Macaroon x Gazzurple

I'm wondering if this is typical, the fan leaves are staying green but the seeds pods are starting to brown. I'm seeing the same thing in both tents. Gazzurple

Bedroom tent, starting lower right going clockwise. Godfather OG, GDP, Mountain top mint x Humboldt pound cake and Slusherz,

GDP

Godfather OG

Mint x cake

And Slusherz

It appears that all are seeded except the Macaroon x Gazzurple, I think I see some seeds forming but I'm not sure.

It was chop day for the auto flower. Fully successful grow. She's been pooping seeds for a week now a couple of which have sprouted. So the 2 remaining plants in the garage get to spread out now. I will do an autopsy on the roots after I transplant the 2 volunteer sprouts.

115 days young.

I've added a top level for the garage tent. I've got a couple of volunteer sprouts and would like to try my hand at cloning.
Can I just stick the clone in 20-4 light? I know it will have to reveg. it. Two story grow tent.

Yesterday was chop day for all but 2 plants. 8 weeks of flower, 119 days old, 6 weeks since they were pollinated.
I tried some small sample buds and they were all full of seeds. So, mission accomplished.
I have seeds in trays ready to start the next crop. I think I'll try a SOG this time.
Anyway they are hanging up in the bedroom tent.
Usually I let them run longer but as I mentioned they were full of mature seeds and reeking.
Thank goodness I have a 6" filter, opening the tent up to chop made the house stink for a couple of hours. This morning you can't even tell.

The real star is the Macaroon x Gazurple in the garage tent. Not dead yet.
