Update on clone/seedling/veg progress, got a full house, will likely have to cull some of these.
These are 3x DIY PPP x Blueberry seedlings I started a couple of weeks ago. Will be culling the one on the left, favoring the center cup, nice structure coming in. Just looking for a better pheno than I've pulled so far with this DIY strain. These are all looking more indica-leaning whereas the one I have in the veg cabinet is more sativa-leaning.
Blue Dream clones in the small cabinet, my son still hasn't picked up his 2 clones (picked up procrastination from his mother, my ex @#!$). After seeing the last couple of results trying 3/5 gal pots and flipping at different stages, I'm pretty well decided that until I get some more veg space I'll run 4x 3Gal flipped at around 18-22" and 3x 5Gal behind them flipped at about 24"-26". Space and production-wise that's my best bet right now. Considering another temporary tent until I build some more veg space but not crazy about the idea, difficult to keep it even somewhat stealth, decisions, decisions...
The tent is holding 4x THC Bombs and 2x Blue Pyramid (front) until I clear the veg cabinet. I'll flip the 4x THC Bombs in the tent as soon as I get the veg cabinet cleared, they'll stay in the 1gal's to see how much I can push out of a 1Gal fabric in there. The 2x Blue Pyramid's will go into the veg cabinet with some Blue Dreams to start vegging the next 2 rounds. The THC Bombs aren't bad, not a bad smell/taste, a good punch but nothing special, the tent run will be the last of those.
The main veg cabinet is bursting at the seams with 1x PPP x Blueberry (left), 1x JTR x Blueberry (center) this is the one with 9 point leaves on the main cola, and JTR on the right. They're 25" above the soil line now and just itching to flower, pre-flowers showing on all of them. They should go into the flower room by Sunday or Monday night once I get the bigger 3x3 out of there.
Cheers

Thanks, those trellises rock for canopy management in veg or flower. Wish I had the space for the runt/clone, maybe later, have 60 + of those seeds to go through. Only space I really have to flower anything out would be in the tray in the main flower room but it's set aside for the next 12/12 from seed party cup comp
For now think I'll let Darwin decide That one in the middle is not only the largest but the only one with any smell at this stage, and if you look at the way the leaves are coming in, very symmetrical, each set of leaves is slightly offset from the last allowing light to get to all of the branches. Always a crap shoot with seedlings isn't it?

Hmm, now you got me thinking, good point. At the moment I have everything tied up (to the point I'll have to cull something) but when I expand a bit in the next couple of months, the small cabinet I currently use for clones/seedlings may just become a dedicated pollen collection/seed producing station
Cheers!

Here's a look at the flower room. 1st harlequin party cup is drying, 2nd one will come out tomorrow, looking ripe.
Flipped the veg cabinet to 14/10 as those 3x 5 gal will go to the flower room by Sunday or Monday, transition them and get them to start stretching.
The larger 3x3 is good to go, will likely pull them Sat or Sunday, all are looking ready, slowing down uptake.
New 3x3 is stretching well and drinking heavy, feeding 50/50 mix of grow/bloom, one more 50/50, a good water-only, then switch to bloom. The Blue Ripper pheno 1 (JTR x Blueberry) and Harlequin pheno 2 (bottom left and right first pic) are stretching the fastest. Expected that as both were the larger/hardier plants going in. All took really well to training and are popping a bunch of colas/heads, small buds are starting to form

Lol, a couple or 4 - Main flower room 4x9.5x7', veg cabinet 2x4x5.5', tent 2x2x4'. and clone/seedling cabinet 16"x30"x48", all full!
(+Cloner sits under the stairs in front of the tent since I've had all the cabs/rooms full)
Thanks polo
It's a juggling act but always seems to work out - no such thing as enough space is there?Going to have to do a consolidation at some point, if work didn't get in the way...

Not bad really, other than maybe side-projects like building stuff I probably average an hour a day of maintenance, a couple a day on weekends. To me it's a hobby/passion that happens to pay for itself
It was sort of work for me a few years back (outdoor guerilla) and I got out of it for that reason, too many hassles/risks and a-holes to deal with. Now I just grow, supply a couple of cancer patients and one long term grow buddy that buys whatever extra crop I have by the qp. No hassles/pressure, the way I like it

NiceComing down in 4 days, 8 weeks
You're like 3 days behind me on the 5gal run, these are 56 days/8 weeks tomorrow, will be taking them down tomorrow night. The PPP can go another day or two while I setup the next round and do some cleaning between rounds.These 3 below in the 5 gal pots are rock solid buds. The 2gal PPP has a lot of mass but this is the fluffy bud pheno so not a lot of weight. The other 2gal is a JTR, tall (40"), skinny but nice tight buds.
Blue Pyramid, Day 54
Blue Dream, Day 54
JTR, Day 54
