3 males at a time in a propagation tent. The small one.
I'm working out what I will be doing to keep the pollens from crossing. But by the time I'm ready, I'm sure I'll have something cool figured out. Lol

That's what I was worried bout for ya. Maybe putting 2liter-3liter bottles over them?? I personally leave flowering males outdoors in random spots. I'd keep copies of course. But Yer scenario is different than mine lol. Gonna build my box this weekend. Making that bitch look like furniture. Its gonna be 2x4 and 4 ft in height. Not solid on the height yet. Might make it 6'-8' tall though.

I could use clear plexiglass to build a few walls with a ceiling. Make it a bit wider so when zipped up each of the 3 compartments is independently air tight... we'll see lol

If theres no air flow how would the pollens mix?

Opening amd closing the tent would cause slight air movement. Any pollen on foil or plastic that drops while the tent is closed could move around to other pieces of foil and cause a mixed pollen.

well if you careful opening the tent and have adequate space your fine, 3 males in a 8 x 4 space?

shit you could flower out 20 dif males using the card board boxes with no pollen mixing in an 8x4, using 2 x 1 you get 16 actually.

I've got all sorts of shit going on this grow. Waiting on the NEW tent for the males. Its a 18"x32"x36" cloning tent but I will use it for 3 males.

I am almost done cleaning out the closet too. That space is 9'x4.5' but has a slant ceiling so it will be for veg and super cropping. I'll be hooking up 2x 400w MH lights in there.


I'm getting some 600w MH/HPS systems for the 8'x4'x6'6" tent. Maybe 3. We will just have to wait and see...

Sounds like a plan. I just cut males down Short and cover em with 2 liter or 3 liter bottles. But everyone's setup is unique. Holler at me for ideas.

I just figured the plants had finally kidnapped you and forced you to live in the grow and care for them constantly.

Very nice, so for the 100 seeds are you planning on flowering out all 50 some odd females? And if you do what size ppts were you thinking of going with/ how much lighting? Sorry if youve already mentioned i just dont want to go back through 50+ pages of reading lol

Try 1 page. Lol its on the previous page i believe. ;)

Of the 100 there will be 3 flowering batches. First will consist of all pictured strains above PLUS a Blue Dream S2 clone(more than 1 if I can...)

I had over crowding issues before and will be splitting up the flowering for that reason.
All plants get transplanted into 3 gallon on the 4th(my birthday)
Batch 1 flowering in 3 gallon
Batch 2 flowering in 5-7 gallon
Batch 3 will have varying sized pots from 3-10 gallon depending on age of plant/clone .

This grow had NO plans for an ending.
I will be starting more seeds here next week to make the 100 mark a reality (probably going with 99 for federal law reasons) lol

Oh and as for lights. Im using commercial 325w MH pulse start bulbs at the moment. Brighter than the standard 400w MH.
Got 2 of them.going so only 650w for me veg at the moment. With plans to upgrade to 1800w-2k for flowering.
Depending on if I use 600s or 1ks
