Weekend update .
All seems well in the room and tent .
A couple of the cuttings are showing signs of stress but surprisingly [ for me at least] is most look close to the same as the day they were cut with one showing first sign of roots at day 4 !

Not sure if this is good or not but nothing good happens fast and I see no big problems so ??
I did add a rooting hormone powder my buddy left behind the reservoir of the cloner the day it was set up .

The plants in cycle are doing well .
Week 2 12/12 today .
As mentioned, the Orange Velvet Underground Rbx is turning the fastest . Here she is ;

I pinch and roll the stem but they still spring back up in a day or so, so I tie them down with pipe cleaners .
Been following the Fox Farm Fert schedule , but using only about half of their products .They seem to have a lot of 'stuff' they want to sell.
Just watered and ferted with Open Sesame and regular ferts before pics . Next fert gets me in beastie bloom, replacing the Open Sesame.

On me ; New here and to indoor growing but not outdoor . Grew outdoors in the 80's and 90's and did pretty well then with way less knowledge and tech .
All we had was Eds bible and an alchemy book . Fast forward today and basically I am a breeder of whatever I am into . I spent the last 7 years breeding and selling a pretty popular tropical fish .
I shipped to every state including Alaska [in December] ,Hawaii and even Guam !
I take my fishy experience, past experience and all the info I can get from other posters and play !
A famous quote from George Carlin, " people ask me if I am experimenting with drugs and I say no. I have now moved into full-fledged research!"
Have good Sunday all .

#1… holy shit beautiful grow
#2… I could look though your grow pics forever
#3 I saw you had bag of promix, strawberry fields, and coast of Maine, all in the same pic, do you mix them together?
#4… holy shot beautiful grow… may be a repeat but needed 😂
#5… I saw you have the FF holy mackerel do you use this at a specific point or do you use it all the time, I use the trio plus cal-mag / sledgehammer / microbe I know I’m on my first grow and will be continuing my current situation through harvest (don’t wanna put too much on my plate at once kinda getting the lay of the land atm but next grow I was thinking promix BX plus earthworm castings, and coast of Maine dry amendments mixed in
And as top dress, mixing neuts and watering takes over an hour and a half for me with 6 plants since I water till a lot of runoff and I figure if I could amend + top dress monthly it’s just a matter of PH’ing water and not needing to runoff as much. I want to get a better setup as far as plant stands my current issue is concrete floor so I use 14” tall plant stands but if I water to runoff with the drip treys on the floor I’ll have water all over the tent from splashing.

Oh and #6…. Holy shit, beautiful grow 😂

1. Thanks man ! 👍

2. I use the wholly mackerel along with the trio in veg.
3 I don't pH my water and sometimes only water to the slightest run off.
4. Always open to new ideas. Yes pro mix, strawberry fields and coast of Maine Stonington for the autos.
5.I have COM dry amendments and Roots organic that I am using on this grow .
6. I have 2 inches of foam insulation on my floor so no stands.

Looks great. Its a lot of work keeping them all watered and fed on time. I've been having a hard time getting 3 days in between my watering/feeding with the fabric pots. I used to be able to get 3-4 days in plastic but I like how they grow in the fabric pots so I guess I'm stuck with more frequent watering. I notice your pots are flat in the bottom of your trays I like to have airflow under my pots as well so the bottoms don't sit flat with no air. I've been using trivets to lift the plants about an inch off the tray. It lets me wet vac the water up so they don't sit in the runoff. Dollar store has some nice ones that fit in the trays $3 Cdn each.

Thanks again. Growing and breeding should keep most of us humble. Little luck goes a long way!
All my trays have ribs on them although very small. Water flows out and I never let any water stay in them so I suppose they are getting air.
I'm sure the plastic does dry slower than fabric. I just received my order of 24@5g fabric pots thinking I would throw the ones in the room in the HD 5g buckets into them .
No bueno as they are not the same height so I am thinking the photos will get them next?
I topped all the photos in the green house and took all the tops from the regular[m/f] seeds and placed them in the 4x2 tent in the aero cloner on 12/12. Been 9 days and I think I can see several females,
but no clear males yet. Some don't look like females, but..And others show pistils and look a little weird also.. 🤔
I think I am just beginning to learn a little? 🥴
I flipped the room also 9 days ago.
I have clones going of everything female and if all works out I will have 9 of the Grape Gas elite from IP and will be moving the original clone I got into the room soon for flipping. 🥳
So far watering is manageable and I use aged 24 hour water ! 4 barrels going now...I am hand watering every one of my babies.😲

Thanks for the info 😁 I may try mixing it up next run instead of 100% FF HF soil, I wanted to try a more amendment and living soil next run so kinda gathering ideas on soil mixes if I can get away from mixing neuts and just worry about PH’ing water and top dressing once a month I think it would be awesome lol

Interested to see how the autos work out for ya! I still don't think I'll ever buy auto seeds though I'm such a photoperiodslut

I am actually really thinking I will be very pleased with autos overall. If I had bought one pack of 3 or only 1 type I think I would say differently.
There are a couple that are just what everyone hates about autos I think. They are short and have little to no branching, but are stacking like a hard on! Best analogy I could think of? 😲
Some of the others are well worth their cost, and I believe will make up for the others? 🤔 Got 21 I think? Lets remember these showed first sign of flower at 21 days old on June 1st, so sunlight has been abundant.
It is late tonight [ for me] and I need to readjust lights in room, for my new schedule which is earlier in a.m. and later in p.m. so I will move timers ahead tomorrow morn. They usually turn on/off at 5 but now I need to move them to 4 a.m. to tend before I go.. My schedule may be for 4 weeks or so ? Working on the first US Presidential Library. FIRST....😎
The green house I will take pics when weather is better than today. Raining now and most of the day I was told.

I like photos way more as like to do my own thing with them.
In all honesty at 21 days old I barely got one veg. fertilizing in before felling the need to switch.
I like to have way more flexibility.
 
#216
Yeah exactly the control is nice! Maybe one day I'll explore some autos just as a test.

And a few clones for shits ang giggles 😲 ;
DSC 0115

Got 3 Grape gas from @ImpulsiveGrower in 1 g pots and 5 others still in solos.
There are repeats of everything in the room and 2 of those cups have the Apples and Bannas from IG ..
Going to be moving clones in soon to 4x4 tent until [ hopefully] September or so? Maybe it will be possible, maybe not ?
My thoughts are to possibly move some or all the autos into the room since it is 12/12?🤔 Not real sure there is much I can do to affect them, but was wondering.
Then later down this road thinking the room will be done in time to move photos in and finish them proper?
Had first male show in greenhouse this week and also pulled 5 others that showed in the cloning/ sexing disaster [ no survivors! ].
Happy Summer all, hope your grows and day are going well!🍻

Yay! Greenhouse pictures. Looking awesome there bud!

You're going to have soooooo much weed to harvest, dry and trim.
We're not going to hear from you for months once that trimming process gets underway. LOL.
