I was hoping someone would ask. 
Yes. I do. I bit the bullet and purchased fresh stock. Four strains purchased.
Pineapple Kush -last I saw was when I left Cali - was mine and strain was lost
Sour Diesel - Partners recommendation ( oldest daughter is my copilot - pass on the craft
)
White Widow/Diesel - Thought it was an interesting cross
Lemon Ice - Sounded like the wife and daughter would like it
All of these were regular seeds and I purchased 10 each
FREEBIES - AK47 - Feminized.
Planted 3 of each. (15 total)
Got 16 Plants.
Did I mention we had twins.

As I sit here taking a break from transplanting 30 tomato seedlings, I take a hit of the current hydro rations available locally and gaze longingly into the veg cabinet it hits me. warm wash across the temples down the face across the chest and cough cough cough cough. Damn nuets.... flush before harvest boys!!!! and in my oxygen/deprived/enriched euphoria it comes to me.... the twin is a Sour Diesel - its the Lemon ice that is odd looking.

I was thinking I would have to also but they both have had nice spurts and the big one is same size as the rest at the moment.Keep me posted on the twins,I had a pair recently and ended up having to clip the smaller of the two, looking great though!

Twins Always Fight Each Other For Space - If You Got Twin Sisters Getting Along Then Maybe They Will Be Good For Topping And Scrogging?!?! Double The Growth In The Same Time

After all these years it is the first twin for me. And here in is part of the reason for the title of the post. I was thinking I would either plant the whole thing outside just to watch it happen, or clip it clone it and sex it instead of the big one. Since ive always topped at the 4th node and then let them grow their coarse outside I thought this one I would leave unmolested.Twins Always Fight Each Other For Space - If You Got Twin Sisters Getting Along Then Maybe They Will Be Good For Topping And Scrogging?!?!

IMHO - I think its down to the root system, if they have manage to sustain there own root system each then maybe they are able to grow at the same rate. Where as if they are using the same root system, it puts most of the work into building the stem of the one that's >A. Easier To Access (Like an electrical current) and helping the process >B. The one it thinks is the main shoot (closest to the light).

2'x4'x4' wrapped with shrink wrap window insulation and then Mylar on three sides. The front is also window film weighted around the edges with magnet to hold it closed to keep co2 in (and heat when they were a little line of pots under one light.
Three rows of five , each under two bulb florescent. 35 watt 2900 lumen 65k bulbs in each at the point of contacting the leaves. Notice the small towel for cooling and humidity''' Thanks guys going to run the flower cab with "wind chill" all day and chart the temps.
I can tell the little one is a parasite at times, But like my girls... Big sister is trying to help at its own detriment.

What is the general consensus on sexing this group? Wait until I top and make a couple clones of each and potentially increase the total number.
Top then just throw them in soil mist and flip the light and don't worry about long term viability.
FLip the light to 12/12 for two weeks and cull the offenders. Then flip back and take the risk with shock and time loss. Im not looking to profit from having more, just extra peace of mind on the years harvest supporting the family needs until I get my feet good and wet again. Days gone by I was getting about 1.5 oz. from the cabinet every 3 to 4 months. but the quality was there other than the airy buds from lack of light intensity and temp control. I never got it quite right but with outdoor being the staple and the cabinet was being mainly a "pipe dream" (pun intended.) Older, Wiser, and dedicated this time. With full spousal support......Lets do this thing""""

Because I have plenty. Haha. Ive got several fire out date fire extinguishers in the 20 to 75 pound range. reading on this site about being able to withstand higher temps in a saturated environment got me off my but to fiddle with it. you can see the 1/4" tube loop in the pic. They really like it. I mean Really like it. 15 minutes after filling the cab they all reach for the stars. I haven't read anything negative about spot feeding so im doing it. I have timer and valve but I need a true co2 regulator to be safe. Im sure the wife would not be ok if I walked out of here with a face full of shrapnel.That is entirely your decision my friend... ive always 12/12' till they showed then switched back.... obv bitch slapping them dirty lil boys tryin to hide in there
Co2 tank? why so early on?

PAHAHAHAAA.....!!! ROFL
Sorry to laugh but reminded me of a friend about 5yrs back, he had heard about the co2 extinguisher trick and for a week or so he gave them little blasts into the room and they was loving it, but nobody told him not to use to much. Soooo he figured he would smog the whole tent.... zipped it back up. come in the next day to see how his lovely babies where doing and to his horror.... all brown and shrivelled up. they completely died within the next two days. 12 uk cheese's from clone about 30days into flower....
One of them phone calls I could truly say I nearly pissed myself laughing...

Oh that is so not funny.....As I laugh hysterically. I am using a bottle from back then at the moment. LOL. CO2 can be bad juju....
Scene: Sitting at the kitchen table eating dinner with my parents at our house. Dad is mid way to his mouth with a rib....and you hear a small clang....then what sounds like a jet engine in the next room. Sitting across from him. I jump up run around the corner have to use a screw driver to unlock the door (no inadvertent snoops from mom while visiting the grand babies). at the time it still had the horn attached and I would build a pile of dry ice in the cabinet corner. well in my haste 1/2 the plant got blasted. luckily didn't get the main stem. Back to the story. I walk back around the corner my dads munchin on his rib looking at me sideways. Moms about panicked because my wife wont tell here what happened and and my wife has tears in her eyes trying not to laugh that I told you so laugh...(different good story) I sit down and say damn cat knocked over my fire extinguisher. Dad freezes... looks up and says..."that's what happens when you lock them in your grow room" My Wife looses it laughing.

Death to all mites. That scenario happened the same year we got the dreaded Mite. and closed up shop until now. I used some gimmick "organic" last ditch effort because neem oil wasn't getting it done. It took five years to get the smell out of the room. the smell of cloves at Christmas always spark that memory)

Updated picture of the little Pineapple Kush that started this thread.
I think she (fingers crossed) is beautiful.
In days past I always "topped after the fourth branch", now days we count nodes to optimize LST techniques.
This plant is 20 days from putting dry seed in wet soil. it sprouted in 2 days, the first picture in this thread is at day 15.
From the soil to the top of the last new growth at stem (5th node? please help here) is 1 7/8 inches. total plant 2 3/8 inches nice problem to have...

Comments and suggestions are always appreciated.
Ive got 15 plants grown from regular seeds. Call it a dozen actually because three are from femmed seeds and I'm willing to chance those if need be.
I want two plants for the cabinet and the rest will veg where they are until they can go outside. then I want to pick one or two as mothers and eventually be semi-perpetual.
The plants are ready for there first clipping. So its time to make some decisions.
