This will be my first grow with RD.

Very cool! As soon as I found these guys I knew they were the one for me.

Do you find that these RD crosses do, in fact, prefer cooler whether? I want to do everything I can to make sure I get these to express the true potential of their traits.
I also found a great looking soil mix on the rare dankness website that Im thinking of trying out. I use FFOF w/ ~20% pearlite anyways. Their mix is a blend of FFOF, FFHF, Black Gold, worm castings, dolomite lime, greensand, pearlite, 1 coco fiber brick, and lastly, 2 cups FF Peace of Mind Fruit & Flower granulated fertilizer.
According to them, this mix works best for 90% of their strains and all it requires through flower is ph 6.7 water. Maybe 2 light feedings at week 3/5 for hungrier llants.
I think I might just try this mix, it sounds excellent. Kind of pricey... But I usually buy 2-3 bags of FFOF throughout my entire grow anyways, so all the other additives are cheap. Would this same mix work for veg as well? Or do u think it would be a bit hot? Probably just use either FFOF or FFHF w/ pearlite.
Just thought Id show you guys this mix they recommend and use, thought it was kind of cool. They also have a very in-depth hydro feeding schedule using AN. Heres the link:

RD Dark Shadow Haze, will update when they're showing pre-flowers.. They will be vegged in ones for a couple months and then transferred to fives a couple weeks before flower. Grown in coco w/ dyna gro foliage pro, currently under a 315w 4k sun system, will add more light later and attempt to trellis them against a wall, vertically.

Ill be following you man. Your using the same light/nutrients as I am. Ive seen you in the lec 315 thread right? Im also using the lec 315 and Dyna-Gro foliage pro , along with their Protekt. I have the 120v version though, so it came with the 3100k lamp. Im currently researching adding a diy cob led (or 2) in the red spectrum to: a) add a little more coverage im my 3.5'x4.5' space, and b) to add some red spectrum for flowering. Or maybe getting the 4k bulb instead, but Ive read the 3100 does jist fine in flower and veg. I tried to keep all my plants as close to. 3x3 footprint as possible, but I just can't stop with the lst!!! Maybe I always just need tk be doing something in there, or maybe I just can't reaist the urge to make them as big and beautiful as possible. Either way, I feel I need a little more light the more I read about the realistic coverage from these lec's, Ill be flipping to 12/12 in the next week.
Here's today:
All Crop Kings genetics:
2x purple kush
2x white cookies
2x white widow
And:
2x unknown bagseed

Hey, that looks identical to mine. The HUGE cola producer!!! The one I have smells like most of Mr. Nice's strains and I think that it is the haze. I can taste it in his critical mass, black widow, and haze...GTH
Cheers,

The branches are naturally purple and they have the big ball looking thing where the branch meets the main stem.
I know everyone is probably tired of my old pics of GTH but I do have a bunch of these clones ready and I will dedicate an entire light to it next round!
I feel really bad about saying bad things about GTH, it turned out to be a favorite!!!

The 501st that I had was super frosty and tasted like watermelon rinds, according to my wife.. I was having trouble describing the flavor, but it is sweet and kind of fruity. Ummm, I have some in my closet, let me get my bong again....
Yeah, with a hint of spicyness!

How was is to grow? Pretty simple? Not too fussy? I think Im going to use the soil mix on rare dankness website when Ingrow this because... Why not use similar conditions to what is was very successfully created in? If you have any tips as far a temps (I know most RD crosses like it on the cooler side), lighting, nutes, etc. Im interested to know what was successful for you!! Also, what was your germination rate like and male to female ratios?

Yeah I typically post any updates in that thread, not updating a journal anymore. You could run the 3100k from seed till chop and do well. It's always a good idea to keep a backup bulb handy just in case. That is a lot of plants for just one fixture but they are looking healthy good job!

It is a lot, I know. I startes with the 2 bagseed that I really just intended to be experimental plants to mess around with and expected one or maybe both to be male... But nope... Both female... And both just kept getting nicer and bigger lol. Then I made the mistake of growing 4 different strains in one space which makes it difficult to guage their needs. Feeding, growth rate, stretch, etc. for my next grow Ill be growing all 501st OG. Possibly one of the freebies they send me (if they send any), or maybe one of my favorites of my current grow. I still have 5 seeds each of White Widow and White Cookies. So, if one of those turns out to blow me away and be a strain I really love I might just grow out one plant.
I want to grow all one strain though for two reasons; first, is so I can get to know their needs and really get it dialed in to get the best expression of the genetics, and two, so that I might find a stand-out pheno to clone.

Haha you got lucky with both of those being females. I've heard horror stories of people popping ten seeds and ending up with just one female! Sounds like you have a good plan, we all live and learn from our mistakes here. The only problem with one plant is that if you happen to lose it there are no others which may be more resilient to whatever stressor/problem occurs.

How do you think the GTH would do indoors? Ive been looking at their sativa strains as well because Id like to grow out some solid sativa's in the future, but I grow indoors with height limitations. Your girl there looks like shes pretty bushy for a sativa. Maybe with some training they would do fine?One on the right is GTH:

For those of you who have ordered from The Dank Team, did they you an enail when they shipped your order? Or just the order confirmation email? Ive head some people say they got a shipment email with tracking info, and some say they just received their order in 3-5 days but never received an email that their order was shipped. Just curious.
