no, that woudl be a clusterfuck... (not that it isn't anyways)
I clone off clones...
Mothers would be too much.
Yea, I know I have a problem...
and that number is gonna likely increase with the two strains of Bodhi stuff I have now, I have 12 of those... so I probably will get at least another 3-5 diff phenos from those two, at least...
BUT, I have done some eliminating... the mango kush, tutankhamon, and girl scout cookies are gonna get the axe... figuratively and literally...
Also three of the four purple paralysis phenos are eliminated too.
but I wasn;t counting those towards my 18...
My goal is to get it down to 12 different strains... or maybe eight...
my keepers right now are the blue dream, double dream, gorilla glue4, purple paralysis, anesthesia, and my kali.
The ones I need to decide on are the jack skellington, joe rogan, tangie, cherrypie, querkle, holy smoke, ghost og...
I know there is more than that...
plus I have the bodhis. the pineapple hashplant (so excited for that one), the blue tara, the pink lotus, and the tranquil elephantiser...
haven't popped the blue tara or the pink lotus yet though
crap...I def got a problem it would appear...
OH, I have the sugarpunch, two phenos, and the madjackberry (love that freebie from sannie!)
hmmm... still think I am missing some...
That's ok! I'm at 15 right now an it getting crazy. I just weeded out my purple paralyser. Never tightened up like I wanted it to.

I goin to go the convential route with this grow(t5>1000mh>2000hps also will be using 4 hortilux t5 as supplemental throughtout the grow). I want a baseline with this first grow. Something I can build off and eventually experiement off. I know I will be using more power but I want to see what I can do with it for now.
like I said, if energy isn't a concern, bust those girls up with some extra lumens!
No doubt!
May want to look into CMH bulbs... extra UV.. Don't think they make a 1000 though, but I could be wrong the industry is changing every second it seems

Oh, you're gonna love Bodhi's strains! I've grown 4, and each one has been out-friggen-standing!

shit my man, I wish you were close, i'd hook you up with my fattie..
I had four phenos and three were tiny as hell, and the one.... well... it's almost all ready to be jarred, but I am sure i'll get 6 OZ off her, and she was only about two feet tall, but the colas are hard as rocks. and thicker than a baseball bat, and that's DRIED..
I can't wait to see what she can do if I show her some love, whenever I flower phenos or strains for the first time I do them young and un-trained.... Don't wanna invest a lot of time if the strain isn't a keeper.
I'll get some pics of this fat-girl for ya
(fat-girl is a term of endearment...)

I have already got my T5 and reflectors. Gotta get my Solis tek matrix and bulbs(prolly hortilux). So I'm kinda set on my equipment for this run.

that's all good, the bulbs need replacement every 6 onths or so anyways, may wanna do some readin on those CMHs..
the new ones are pretty damn good

every damn pic of anything Bodhi related has been jaw-dropping...
And I am in santa cruz, so we see some damn good herb here... (luckily Bodhi likes the central CA coast)

Lol I always have car problems thanx grease. While I have ur guys ear...if I am doing 8 plants in 7 gal smartpots how much of my cooked soil will I REALLY need. Im goin to plant clones directly in the 7 gals for them to live thier whole life. Do u guys add anything to the bottom of ur pot? I was planning to top dress with ewc and possibly something else???? So after all that how much of my 7 gal container will actually be my 'supersoil'? I'm trying to make sure I got enough. Thanx.

Each one of my 10 gals holds roughly 1 cubic foot, with some room left to top dress. I'd say you'll need roughly 8 cubic feet. 1 cubic foot = 7.5 gallons.

I just top dress some fresh soil and some castings one time. Aside from that it's pretty much water only.

I don't add anything at the bottom, just my soil mix all the way through.
EWc is a good topdress but is thick, so i'd cut it with some aeration or compost, comfrey works damn good for me

So you think 8 in a 8x4 would be smarter than 10? I was hoping I could fit two in between.
