Bonjour
Only female! Was it regular seeds?
Since fem seeds there is more fem in regulars...!?!?!?
Don't you have another place to revegg two plants and keep them for next bloom!?
Have a great day ★

I have a small place I can keep a few clones. I was gonna take 2 from each. And see where they finish up to see whether they are worth keeping. These are genetics from a friend of mine. All reg seeds. These were from his 3rd cross of the same plant. He is using he same male to pollenate each gen of the females to stabilise the genetics. He started with a cutting a believe. I have smoked some of this batch of seeds he grew out and it's a nice smoke. He won't feminize seeds as he is a stubborn git and don't believe they won't hermie on him.

I'm trying to find a place to buy some GG#4 for the next run. It's meant to be super strong. I smoke a fair bit so have quite a high tolerance.

This will be an awesome grow. I'm getting my basement grow aera finished and will add rails in so I can slide in SCROG nets.

How tall are they now?

22" I flipped them less than a week ago at 8-9" the leaves are starting to darken on some of them and get that lovely purple shade to them. I'm getting a lovely minty undertone in the tent which is cool. I took the scrog screen out of mine for now. Seemed like I would have needed a lot more veg time and a lot less plants to fill it properly. And I want a harvest before Xmas.

Another note. The 2 I have in plastic pots are being outdone by the 4 in smart pots. Big time . There is a noticeable difference in height and density of foliage. But they are darker than the rest. I'm putting it down to root restrictions in them pots and they have about 3 Ltrs less medium.

Very impressed with growth and structure. Not too stretchy. These vero cobs are gonna hold their own. My 120mm fan died that was cooling my heatsink. Gonna a go grab another in morning. Cheap shit. I have suspended a 6" desk fan facing down onto heatsink and just before lights out it was cool to the touch. Like cold as when it arrived. Might leave as is and see how I go. Who knows

Damn that's some serious growth for a week. Can't wait to see all of them in 5 weeks. Will you be repotting them?

I don't have the floor space. I have about a sq ft of free space In total. I'm using it for moisture traps at the minute. I'm even thinking of reducing number of plants. Probably won't though. I could look at same size footprint but deeper pots.

They have only just started to push small roots out of the pot so will see how I go.

I need to dial in everything for my space. Light seems to be enough to cover nicely. Dealing with temps and rh at minute. I will probably go hydro or coco next run. 6 weeks veg was long considering how small they were. Clones will be quicker but then I have to maintain 2 rooms and tbh there is too many risks as I have nowhere hidden to put a second tent and to keep it stealth

Might work for you look over the dimensions tho because they're stupid tall I have some of the 5 gallon ones for another grow.

my next grow may be HPA. But I'll likely kill everything or not be able to finish it. I wish jimmyindica lived near me so I could loan him my basement and lights while I'm gone.

 

[brettsog]

I wish I lived near you so I could loan your basement...... my mum just moved from uk 2 weeks ago to oregon. I'm jealous.

Cheers for the link for them bags. I'll look them up.

So fed them all this morning. Used full strength dutch pro a+b and cal mag. I've been watering once a week with a feed every other watering.

Stretching has slowed right down. Only a 1/4" growth last night. Pistils are popping on all the nodes. Going to the hydro shop in a bit to grab some rock wool cubes so I can takes some cuttings off the lower growth. I have nipped a few of the lower fan leaves off as well so gonna leave me a couple days to recuperate and start flowering. Gonna call this day 1 of flower.

 

[brettsog]

So I took 2 cutting from each plant just before lights so now I have 12. Will keep 1 from each of the best 3 yeilds for next run. Rest will go to another home. Not sure who yet but sure ill find someone

 

[brettsog]

So quick pic update. Starting to look like a jungle in there. Plants all look healthy. Vibrant green. The smaller potted plants seem darker.

 

[brettsog]

I do like taking a nice pic in the morning. Couple pics for your viewing pleasure

 

[brettsog]

So bit of a nightmare, my tent is in a cupboard. Noticed moisture on door frame and looked up. It's like I have a swimming pool on my ceiling. Need to vent out of the cupboard it seems.

Have a great day ★

All 6 are gsc.I started with 10 and reduced it to 6. I have 4 in 11 Ltr smart pots and 2 in roughly 25 cm plastic pots. They are probably 5 Ltr.

 

[littlejacob]

Bonjour
You know why I am much more interested in your grow...!
So you said that the one in small pot are darker than the other one!?
Could you please tell me what quantity of water you give the 6L and the 11L!?
GSC are hybrid? How many week in general? And what about the taste?
Thanks
CU

 

[brettsog]

55-65 days, these have a very mild sweet mint smell to them.

I give them all the same amount of water. When it's just water i put them in Bath and run the shower until they are soaked. When I feed them they get full strength nutes in a 2ltr mix each plant. Seems to be working well. I haven't had any deficiencies or problems. A few lower leaves have been burnt by getting splashed with nutes. I'm sure as they flower they will need more water though. The soil is drying quicker now.

 

[littlejacob]

Bonjour
Maybe add a little more to the 11L
I put more water every week...
Usually I start 12/12 with 8/9L for all plants and finish with 18/20L...

[brettsog]

Yeah I am noticing they need more. I have to water again already so might be moving up to twice a week. I took a few fans leaves off today. Nothing drastic. Just a couple from each to increase the air flow in there. I have one that is going to do particularly well. I has created about 8/9 tops on itself. I only topped the plants once. It has pushed a lot of side branching upwards.

 

[littlejacob]

Bonjour
You only water once a week...miracle of cob...
With hps during stretch it is 3 time a week!

[brettsog]

So another Lil update. Not much seems to be happening over last couple days. Just sprouting hairs. Clones are doing ok. Think 2 of em might not make it but still leaves me with choice of 10.



This is my cooling system at minute. Keeps the heatsink icy.



And the clones looking sweaty as hell lol
