ok so umm ya i'm really not sure where to start today, i'm being put in a rough spot and it's being done by my own plant's there telling me my plan of action is faulty and it needs to be changed and i need to get with it or else.
iv'e got a ton of things going through my mind and i need to get focused and make some changes and do my best to look down the road just a bit to see what COULD happen if/when i take this path or that path.
there are 4 plants two strains that are causing all these new issues my CHEM SODA OG and the PURPLE ALICE'S they are growing so strong so fast and getting so big there causing me some possible FUTURE problem's.
my plan right now and this is just to give me a little breathing room and some time to think more clearly about how to move forward in the best way.
in the morning i'm going to be switching the tent's out so for a bit the 5x5 1000w hps flowering tent will become my veg area and my 4x4 400w mh veg tent will become my flowering tent. this only works because the plant's i have flowering right now are all seed baring plant {except for the huge alice} and only two are any decent size with most in bottles and not trash cans. these few plant's will be fine in the 4x4 only thing i'm concerned about is keeping my alice in under the 400, i think i will be pulling her out though the day and letting her stay in the 1000w tent.
my mid term plan right now is to finish my seeded plant's in the 4x4 and after there done and mostly dry i'll pull them from the 4x4 place them into my closet to finish drying. at this point i THINK THINK i'm going to put all my now bottled plant's back into the 4x4 400w mh and ONLY run the 4 big girls in my 1000w production tent. i have been wanting to do something like this for a very long time and right now i think i have 4 very good plant's to give it a try. some down sides to this are for-sure total yield out put from only 4 plant's, yes they will be much bigger but still will it be worth it at the end. no way to tell that except just do it and see.
ok so say i do that then the issues/question become what do i do with all the plant's in the bottles in the 4x4, usually i have no problems there i know what needs breed and what go's with what but usually i'd have far far less plant's in that tent at that time. i'm a breeder so i do breed's every single grow so that will not change but with so many plants packed in the 4x4 i risk cross pollination way more then any other time.
couple of thought's i had/have is to drop the number of DIFFERENT pollen's i used in this run so instead of having x's amount of females with x's amount of different males i cut that down to say three different pollen's and split the females into three different batches. doing this id still get plenty of new strains but more strains made with the same pollen done'r.
or i could just hit all the females with one type of pollen while keeping them all in the 4x4 tent.
or may be just split the females into two group keep one in the 4x4 keep the other in the closet, by this time the drying seeded girl from this grow would be dried and dealt with so the closet would be open. so once the females have been throughly pollinated it will just a few day's before i could put the closet plant's back into the 4x4 and just get on with the seed making process.
last thing to think about is CLONES i'll need to be taking many cut's from many different females, my usually plan of action here is to take cut a week or so before flipping and there housed in the CLOSET. but if i'm going to need the area like three weeks after i take cut where will i put the clones while the females get there dusting on?????????..........
lot's to think about and not a whole lot of time to get it done and under way.
thanks for listening :)
