150W CMH sativa garden

Good answer. Indeed it is all about dialing in to your needs and expectations to make the best out of what you have!
 
Yday did some soil leeching for PE and WL. They are getting close to the end.
Lately was having some watering problems. I just keep forgetting to water them, ahhhh... Therefore PEs lost quite some leaves.
In general plants look alright.
PE budshots.

I could have vegged them for so much more... My guess under normal light schedule plants would have filled the vertical space. It must be gas light that cause so little stretch.
Look how small is WL...

Bubble cloner works as expected

Back to the Congo. BTC all three plants look so different. Check out their sizes.
Basically what I've got is:
Tall, Fat leaves
Small, Fat leaves(Small was one of the twins that survived)
Medium, thinner leaves.

Good dog so far is not rushing too much.
Quite low on folliage.

But I got really surprised with BBxWW.
I was expecting to see some fat indica leaves. But leaf blades look thinner than the rest of the plants.

so looks like harvest is about to happen sooooon. Was inspecting trichomes of Wonderland and OH MY I was impressed. This cannabinoid profile surely should be interesting. Look at that purple. Also seeing quite some amber. This is the first time I see so much of it. Might be related to UVB T5 I'm using.
anyway will know how does it kick soon enough.

Hey again Simisimis!!! So glad to see you around and cultivating! :)
Indeed the amber trichs are from the UVB lights.

I'd love to read the whole thead man! Beautifuuuul shots you got there, makes me dream dream dream untill i remember what I have to do today. :D
 
Hey @HashSmoke420 glad to see you back. Yeah still cultivating. I see myself stopping to smoke, but cultivating.. I just can't get enough of it.. With all the pretty flowers they give me...

@Jad3 I know right?

I tried smoking some of the Wonderland the other day. I have to say it's earned some VIP spot in my stash. It had such an awesome kick. Exciting body power rush. Very social, uplifting, energetic, trippy. Felt like jumping/dancing haha. Something like:
 
So finally. Pic day.
SC#3 3x clones. Nodes keep altering and side shoots are becoming mains. For some reason they do not start opposing.
Maybe I should trim everything and leave like one main. Got 3 atm per clone.

As always after leeching, vigour kicks in.
WWxBB. Probably narrowest leaflets in the room.

BTC#1 most indica looking of them all

BTC#2
confirmed female. Looks very much like BTC#1. Both of them smell very nicely. No danky/skunky smell

BTC#3
This one have more sativa leaning leaves. But it has some skunky weed smell.

Group shot. It's busy.
Right: BTC#1,2,3 BBxWW
Middle: 3 revegged clones, Good dog, at the very back revegging WL(you cannot see).
Left: 5 BBxWW cuttings in a cloner(on the ground), 2 x revegging PE.

And this is to get idea of how are they doing vertically.

I'm using
Ballast
3x Osram QT-FIT 5/8 2x39W(for my 6 T5HO bulbs)
lamps
2x39W 4100K T5HO
3x39W cold blue T5HO ATI Coral plus
1x39W ATI Actinic plus for UVB
1x70W CMH(3oooK) for side lightning

nice to see you here.
Cheers!

Much obliged... but I was curios about the ballast that runs the CMH bulb
 
Just read through here from the start, insane to see your progress with new thing here and there and everywhere. I'm dialing in an eves grow too. You mentioned you where hitting 90s did you ever do anything for the temps? I had to supplement with some of the C02 canisters, they have the pads and bottles of yeast out there... Helped with my lack of C02 being up so high (heavy gas) and I was able to be comfortable with higher temps and what not... Maybe your next tweak? Keep it up man youre killing it up there!

Thanks for the kind words and suggestions!
I was thinking about CO2 but it never was on my top priority list. I keep tweaking one thing at the time and it takes time to adapt to change, understand which part was actually affected and if the change is worth keeping. Also last two grows lost my reigns and things were not at their best until I finally identified hot soil problem. It's so much better to add what's needed than to leech what's not...

Anyway seems like summer's over and now will have more time to do something in my room. Once I'll come back from vacation will be flipping them to flower. So far have 3confirmed females and 1male. One stilll to be identified. Also got 3 Serious Casey revegged clones ready to flower. Will fill them the space left. This run planning to pull as much as I can. Got some needy friends that suck in everything I yield like blackholes haha.

I will have to look it up the ballast for @grapefruitmarmalade once I'll get back from vacation.
Cheers guys, I'm off to wind surfing :D
 
Mega update. Here's SC#3 mother I let go flowering some weeks ago once I saw that her cuttings rooted successfully. It grew into cfls while I was away. I was hoping I had this better pic showing how many budsites she has and how little leaves but will have to do it next time.

Groupshot. This is what I have found today. I am going to have serious space issue, especially with Good Dog. It's already 22" long. Today I turned this room into flowering, will see how much it will stretch. Other plants were around 18"
Currently I have 3x SC#3 cuttings. Upcanned couple of them and will flip to flower after a week or so. and 3rd one will continue vegging/taking cuts.

Back to the Congo.
From those 3 beans I pooped I got:
2 males. 1 fem.
1male looked more sativa leaning(thinner stem, leaves).
another - male and fem. Bigger, wider leaves. Thick woody stem. Very difficult to LST them.
All of them have very similar smell and it's very nice.
In the pic you see two BTC males. check how much thicker is the stem.

Check leaf dif.

BBxWW. Is ready to be flipped. Check out how nodes are alternating and how it'd like to start budding.

BBxWW cuttings were fastest to root. Good Dog as well started rooting. Next - BTC and SC#3 cuts. I love this cloner. plug and play! And I also love taking cuttings practice. So nice when you see that you need to remove couple males from your flowering room and you simply replace them with some clone.

Can't wait to start cloning... Do you have a DIY guide for yours? I haven't been successful in any of my cloning attempts so far.

Also, AWESOME trichome production on those early flowers! Damn son!
 
Well I made mine following my friends directions. I jut got some cheap 2l food dish, an air pump with 2 outputs, and hollow pipe insulation, biggest diameter I could find. Prob about 5-7cm. Glued with silicon two long airstones to the bottom, covered outside with tape to protect roots from light and that's pretty much it.
I suspect using sprinklers and water pump would yield better results, but that also works very well. I start seeing roots within 5-9days

And about SC#3.. can't take credit for the awesome genetics and pheno roll.. that's why I revegged it and cloned like mad, it's a top shelf thing. I love everything about it
 
@Jad3, today I've got EF 50mm f/1.8 STM (an upgraded version of 50mm lens you recommended me some time ago. Oh man... the pics it's making is mouth watering. Will be fun to flower my plants with it's support!

btw, this Serious Casey.. Looks like somebody ran in my garden, trimmed all its leaves and left buds only. Difficult to take a proper pics because of this frckn mylar in the background but live it looks real weird.
