This is a current picture. Took the mothers finest and dropped her into the flowering room today. Transplanted the 4 fem nightstar's into 5gal pots. The sasquatch are the plants at the very back of the room. The middle right plant is a LA Confidential.
Everything is from seed. Got a 6 bulb T5 on order to run a mother garden because I am going to run out of room. Planning to make a collapsable temporary garden that I can use when things get out of hand. I can take this room in the picture and convert it to a secondary flowering room when the other is full, just by swapping the metal halide for HPS and throwing a timer in there on 12/12.
Only real issue is that my carbon scrubber is in the main flowering room, but I shouldn't have plants in there for more than 2 weeks in flower.
Picture shows 303 seeds stock at four weeks. Everything was topped.
Damn! 5 of my Sasquatch turned male. I did everything to baby them into turning female. Metal Halide, low temps, good circulation. Only stress indured was topping. My sixth plant has yet to show signs so I am assuming it's female (praying) at this point.
My co-worker is a fucking idiot though, he decides to go 'dumpster diving' to look for something that was accidentially thrown away and finds my frickin male plants inside a double black contractor garbage bag. Of course it can't be traced back to me, but he was going on an on about it all fucking day like the idiot he is - talking about how it was still green and how you can't kill a pot plant. I told him that all plants die when they don't get water.
Anyway, my four nightstar (303) are looking pretty good and just showed pistils.
Dialed in my flowering room, bought another carbon filter and everything is on auto pilot for now. The first sasquatch and nightstar clones are starting to show sign of yellowing so I am assuming the roots are forming. I dropped 6 bio-d and they all sprouted within a few days, and so I dropped the next 6 so I can get rid of any spindly ones.
How much stretch can I expect on the bio-d's?
Kinda thrown off right now by 303 (not that it's their fault my seeds turned male) I just have a strickt limit on how many plants I can have and spent two months cultivating those sasquatch beans.
Hopefully the final one is female, and if the genetics are good, I will pop the remaining 6 beans that I have. Such a pain starting from seeds stock, but I would rather do this, than rely on clones (and the problems they can bring) from other people.
