thanx bro,its brothers like you that hep make this forum an asset.I've seen the plants you grow, i'm sure you'll get them back on track with or w/o a moisture meter
stick in a finger knuckle deep. i just like a moisture meter for clones.. the container is too small for a finger and more accurate at getting down where the root zone is forming.

say bro i always leave my lid on till i see rooots even if its 2 weex, then transplant,
. theyll go in to stall if not , and temps stay tropical in the dome...,lol.sounds like your gonna CC a bit.i keep my thermostat on 80 F on my mat. roots 7 to 8 day.95% success rate.got a pound of white widow las year jus in my closet,lol, i love that strain, wicked bud pattern .very wide buds .ya, i'm less worried about the White Widow than i am the Durban Poison and the Power Skunk... i'd like to keep flowering time to 9 weeks total or less.say bro i always leave my lid on till i see rooots even if its 2 weex, then transplant,
If i were running (12) 1000w HPS bulbs in that same room (13' by 15') then two tier vertical would be the only way to go. SeeMoreBuds has some nice -fast turnover- videos using 2400 watts... his best was 6 lbs. w/that lumens, but the normal would be more like 4 lbs.. (8 lbs. from two rooms) The thing w/vertical, as with any other setup is that the more plants you have, the faster you can turn them over... so with only 40 plants in a vertical setup, 20 per level, you'd have some veg. time in front of you... and training the plants, etc. SeeMoreBuds got more from his flat grow not even using CO2 (6 lbs.) than any vertical garden that i have seen using the same watts (2400). I challenge you to find one vertical grower using that wattage that averages 6 lbs. a grow... because they seem to run into the same barrier that flat growers run into - getting more than 2lbs per 1000watts used.
I feel like a newb for growing out some of the free seeds that i got... i shoulda just stuck with the two selections i had made. That being said, I'm sure i'll still have 65 or more females finish out the first crop. On the next crop i'll have a full house w/no surprises and all nice ladies.
Power Skunk Must Die !!!
thanks man.
sounds like the next batch will be awesome, where do you grow?(PM me if you want). can we get some more pics?I feel like a newb for growing out some of the free seeds that i got... i shoulda just stuck with the two selections i had made.

Brief Summary:
Started with 10 seeds Sensi's G13xHP (Mr. Nice) only got two to grow (one of which was female) got more seed
Started 10 seeds Serious's White Russian, 5 seeds G13 Labs Power Skunk, 1 seed G13 Labs Durban Poison, 1 seed G13 Labs White Widow, 1 seed G13 Labs Northern Lights (never sprouted). Cloned all these bitches till i got up to 99+ plants that i transplanted into Hempy Buckets in the flower room.
-Other Shit- (Started w/99): This is Day 16 Flower Cycle - Down to 72 plants (I killed all of the Power Skunk all but a couple of the White Widow... both from G13 Labs and THEY get a big -REP for those two. My 'Feminized' Power Skunk were all male except for one hermaphrodite. And the White Widow was an inferior specimen. They'd a'done me a favor by keeping those Freebies. I do seem to like their Durban Poison however... and will probably keep some on hand.
1st Clone Batch (Started w/160): This is Day 17 after being cut - killed all 8 Power Skunk clones and all 25 White Widow clones along with the G13xHP (male donor) clones. Down to around 106 confirmed females from Durban Poison, Mr. Nice, and White Russian.
2nd Clone Batch: Day 1 after being cut. Took 120 cuttings from confirmed Mr. Nice and White Russian females. These will go into the flower room at the same time as the first batch... they will be just a tad behind growth-wise some 6 weeks from now.

pics,pics,pics,lol.jus jkin. i did it the chicken shit way , i bought all my seeds for plants,jus few clones,,i had 25 rooted BM clones and haf hermied on me tho i picked them off and got it 98% seedless and tossed the clones because of the hermie prob. ,DP fem version suks,2 times ina row.jus ordred 3-5 packs of Blueberry skunk fem.everyone has bragged on this one i'll be a cloning fool with these,lol.. i already have a few pacs of reg. DP BB seeds ,lol. i ordered mine from seed boutique , 30% cheaper than attitude, 3.00 shipping and they always get here in texas in one week. looks great , glad to see you get the ball rolling.later.
shoot ,you wish,lol, maybe outside bro,lol.
i'm in the Dirty Dirty, just like Raiderman. i'll snap a couple off pretty soon. I started the journal once things were already going pretty good... and try to avoid too much anti-climactic information or pics
I wish they did. I have leaned as heavily toward the 'auto' side as i can... i still need them to veg. in the veg. cycle. A few of them are just too set on auto-flowering to clone well or go back to veg. growth. Others are more willing.
Update Pic 1: total of around 220 clones for the next crop. As soon as the current crop is harvested they will go 12/12 under the HPS lights. I'm looking at putting 2 into each 3 gallon Hempy Bucket. By then they will have been under flourescents for 7-9 weeks, have been topped once... and will be around 12" tall.
Pic 2: One of the auto-flowering phenotype White Russians at 18 days into flowering. They don't all look like this
Pic 3: total of around 72 plants that are still marching on (about 1/3 pictured). I have killed off all Power Skunks, and almost all White Widows (mine was a poor specimen). G13xHP (20 percent), White Russian (70 percent), and Durban Poison (10 percent) remain. My next crop will be around 60 percent W.R., 30 percent G13xHP, and 10 percent D.P.
I'm still waiting for my replacement parts and my back-up ballast so i can spread these chickees back out under 4 lights rather than the 3 they are under now. I did finally get both of the portable a.c. units for th veg/flower rooms... hooking up the flower a.c. tommorow. The clones are now fairly comfortably set at a constant 80 degrees.
