Mikedin’s garden center, Let’s grow!

[Mikedin]

Mmm lights out pics girls are gettin chunky, defenitly seeing the keepers of each now, clones are looking good, just waiting it out to see for sure but these are the 2 I’m looking at

cali blues

Cali dream

Can’t wait to see them in here, light has plenty to give, PPFD readings with photone at 18” about where I’m expecting tops to be (hopefully) , I’ll see what I’m working with plant wise first, may lower the net more but we’ll see

 

[Mikedin]

Hey @Captspaulding

The seeds are viable
Top left is coming up as well just can’t see it in the photo

I knew they would be! When I seen the pic or two you sent of your seed yield, the coloration and size where really great.

I seriously can’t wait to splash the cement shoes. It’s funny, someone, cannafarmer I think then asked about 2012 era cement shoes……kinda cosmic. Of all the strains that one?

This is exciting bro!
Can’t wait to see what your crazy ass pulls from them!

He’s messaged me as well I’ve shown pics of the seeded plant already lol

Interested in how the GP x Okie x cement shoes is gunna run

Oh I forgot I tossed 6 of those CS seeds into a paper towel to check them but forgot and they fried but I saw 2 with dried out tap roots so I think we have action haha

They will get thier shit together I’m sure.

Been keeping an eye in the 2x younger cali blues clones, they defenitly revegged, cut them a bit late off the mother but there coming around seeing the usual 1 and 3 finger leaves and some twisted new growth but there coming around I see normal new growth in the lowers so they should bush out really good for nets

Will probably keep the mother in one net with the cali dream #2 and then the 2x revegged clones in the other net.

Also @Captspaulding when did you pull your cali blues and dreams do you remember days from flip?
Gunna give the clones a big boost in EWC and see how it goes going from 3 tbs / gal to 1 cup per plant

 

[Mikedin]

Well today was the day, switched from the clone / veg box to the 4x8x got some new legs so both tables are sight and out some temporary top bars to rest treys on until the get a bit bigger, running 300w total atm once they are done at this stage the I’ll take those 2x cross bars and the other pieces I have and will make a new 2x8 top 2nd level scrog

UV / IR bars on the same timer as the main lights

 

[Greenadian]

Love a nice fresh start!!

 

[Mikedin]

Week 9 update time, so week 9 is done, still watchin, might go a bit longer, we’ll see when I check trichs in a bit

 

[Mikedin]

Morning all,
We’re a few days into week 10 now, all faded and beat up, letter em go a bit longer they are ripening up nicely, just need a bit longer, and the new run is starting to be shaped up, girls are in the tent, need to make final decision, watching clone heath as well as what I see off the testers I just pulled off the ones finishing up

Atm it’s looking like it’ll be the 4x to the left, 3x cali blues #1 (freak) and 1x cali dream #2

Looks great, thanks for giving me so much to live up to I am running a cali blue this run ✌

Defenitly the top contender, major blueberry notes from the freak so glad I grabbed the 2x extra clones of it it’ll be 75% of the next run

Just givin them a few more days then I’ll get them into 2 or 3 gallon pots to stretch out a bit more before they hit the 5’s and the nets

 

[Mikedin]

Morning all, time for a little update, I believe we’re at day 70 now just waiting for some more amber to come in
Everyone’s leaning and falling but I’m ok with that

Power is backed down to about 70% of what it was just to let them finish out

Love that Leaning Tower of Pisa look! Lol now I can avoid that trip to Italy... Those nugs are DENSE. Great work, Mike.

Do you always lower the light back down at end of flower? Never heard of it, but while trying to mimic nature it makes perfect sense. The days get shorter and the sun less intense (except equatorial strains i guess?) by the end of a natural outdoor grow. I might be putting more thought into that than necessary... haha typically do.

I was thinking of doing a similar/not-so-similar technique at the beginning of flower. GNick posted info about a gradual decrease of light hours (half hour step downs), and its benefit for F1 plants in reducing stress. The reasoning behind it is to get closer to a naturally occurring season. seems it's worth a few pages in the Tumble Book of Experiments.

 

[Mikedin]

Not so much for any real reason, wanted to try the slow back off the last week just to see how they handle it pretty much,

gave all the clones a full 1 gallon pot sized feeding and decided to leave them in the 1 gals for a bit longer I usually up pot by now just trying something else new since I couldn't get the pots I wanted in time damn store has been closed for a week straight lol

Gunna check out another spot in a bit

 

[Mikedin]

What’s up folks! It’s chop day!


Wanna thank @Captspaulding again for the seeds as well as @PhlizonGrowLight for the PL4500 from the Christmas giveaway! Thank you both again!

And since we’re chopping, might as well be up potting! Hittin the 3 gals today with the clones


Went with the 3x cali blues #1 clones and 1x of the cali dream #2’s which may run or may not we’ll see soon
