Lockedin's 4x8 Fiasco

For a number of reasons, I haven't been able to get my tents set up and a grow started - until today!
Here's a quick list of what's in the big black box:

Strains
Herijuana
- I've really enjoyed this strain so far; the seeds I made have about a 95% success rate, and a 60/40 fem/male ratio. They grow vigorously, 2 recognizable phenos so far:
1 - I used the GH trio at full strength in soil and this pheno loved it. Small pistils show earlier than their sisters and put on a nice frost show. STINKY in early flower - burning rubber / vomit and a shade of weed on the back end - actually a little unpleasant smelling at times until changing to a very hashy scent. Cures olive green with a golden shine, very nice, tasty smoke and STONY. Strong indica, lots of couch-lock & a nap is often the end result.
2 - I burned the crap out of these using the exact same dose that pheno 1 got. Small pistils shows MUCH later, towards the end of flowering; very little discernable smell, woody with a fruit punch overtone. Smaller overall than their sisters - maybe coz I burnt 'em... :wall: Once the pistils popped, they were coated in a greasy frost that was a muted, sweet hash scent once cured. Less visible frost than pheno 1 and a lighter green. Noticeably less couch-lock and a tendency to write overly long journal entries (and the dog is pissed that I put on his harness but got lost here & forgot to walk him).
Mazar/Black Triangle X Azad Kashmir
I've been wanting to try new strains, and this one has been on my mind for a while. These are untested seeds, so I'll be keeping a sharp eye on them. I'm planning to stay on the mild side of everything, so hopefully that mitigates some of the potential issues (hermming, etc.) Should be fun!
Most of the other strains I want to try I also want to preserve, so I need to get one of my other tents running - but that's going to be a few weeks down the road.
The space
Spare 10'x12'x8' bedroom (my son moved out on his own - wtg!)
-4'x8'x6.5' tent complete with pinholes and a small rip in the ceiling (covered by the fan's baseplate)
Ventilation
Exhaust: AC infinity T6 exhausting out of an exterior window.
Intakes: 6" duct placed at window (2' below the exhaust) - (2) 4" ducts running on the floor behind the tent.
Lights
(2) 240w GrowDaddy (6 bars on a frame, [4] 2,700k & [2] 5,000k) - 3 Viparspectras (appx 650w)
- Lighting will most likely be changing before this grow is through
Soil
1 bag - Fox Farms Ocean Forest, 5 bags Recipe 420 Maximum Impact
- a neighbor recommended R420; says it seems to be FFOF, but not as hot. I like his weed, so I'm trying it. Oh, it's $10 less per bag too.
5 gal fabric pots.
I forgot that I gave a friend a few one gal fabric pots, I'm down to 4. So I'm going to start 4 heri in those, the rest will go into grow bags, then all will go into their 5 gal final pots.
Nutes & Schedule*
* "Schedule" is loose at best, I try to listen to my plants, if they're still exploding at week 4, I'll wait.
FF All Purpose 6-4-5 - Planning to top dress with this on week 3 or 4 (depending on what the plants say), then again a few days after the flip
FF Japanese Maple 4-3-4 - This is what happens when I go to the garden shop stoned. bongsmilieI'm not entirely unhappy I grabbed this, 4-3-4 seems good.
FF Flower Girl 4-9-3 - This is what I was supposed to grab :wall: I'm probably going back there today. Probably applying towards the end of stretch.
Here's some pics:
Herijuana seeds - very pale with no markings. These are my first attempt at making seeds, so even though there's a ton of duds in the container, I'm pretty happy with them.

Black Triangle X Kashmir - big seeds with full length stripes. Hopefully they all crack!

03/26 - Heads Up!

Herijuana
Are in the grow-bags. Kinda stretched out, so they're elevated on extra soil for now.
I also lowered both lights so that they're about 24" over the seedlings.

Kashmir
The seeds had bigger/better tap roots than the Heri - nice first impression!
I made a snap decision and decided that the Kashmir will go straight into their final 5gal fabric homes. So far, so good!

Here's some baby pics:

Small update.

Lights are running 18/6
17 of 20 seeds are now seedlings and have been up-potted to their final 5g fabric pots.
(9) A. Kashmir
(8) Herijuana

One of my Herijuana has some weird leaves - looks like a severe CalMag issue on her first true leaves, but none of the rest have this... I'm just going to observe and see if she grows out of it.

I should probably mention that these are regular, non-feminized seeds, so I'm going to lose a few when they reveal sex.

Here's a few baby pics:

Pictures to come...

Herijuana definitely needs Mag - lower leaves are going yellow; a couple plants even have crunchy leaves.
Lights are appx. 20" from canopy (240w). I lowered them till all plants stopped stretching.

Otherwise, everything is shaping up nicely - tallest is about 8" (Kashmir) - shortest is about 4" (Heri).

Black Triangle x Kashmir is growing nicely.
Lights are about 24" above canopy.

Considering top-dressing all pots with FF All Purpose (6-4-5 IIRC) and adding Epsom salts for the Herijuana.

Aside from the Calmag deficiency, I'm pretty happy with how this grow is vegging.

Still plenty of time to screw it up! :eyesmoke: :lol:

About 5 weeks of veg.
Considering that the Kashmir are untested seeds and my Herijuana are seeds that I made, I'm a bit surprised that there is not that much variance in the grow:
One tall Heri - I suspect it will be a boy...
Two dwarf Heri - ounce plants at best
2 short-ish Kashmir

Probably flip to flower this weekend.

Quick pic from this morning.

The strains are easy to tell apart:
Herijuana is taller & not as densely foliated.
Kashmir x Black Triangle is short and DENSE; it has large, double toothed leaves that need pruning often as they completely obscure pre-flowers from receiving light.

Both strains had some deficiencies early on, but feeding seems to have addressed that.

I had this exact same problem a few weeks ago. Upped my feed, and raised the lights a bit. Seemed to solve it. Looking good man!
Same - I added 1 Tbsp of Epsom Salt and top dressed.
I'll be dressing & feeding again soon - probably next weekend.
A little pruning and tucking tonight when the lights are on.

The Black Triangle x Kashmir is VERY squat, very Christmas tree shaped with pretty short branches that stay close to the stalk.
A lot of leaf pruning to keep them unshadowed. Few pistils, but the ones that are there are THICK. Excited to see these flowering.
Very unlike:
Herijuana is medium tall and lanky with long branches that spread out wide - pretty low maintenance with the long spacing - they seemed to have responded nicely to feeding and are throwing hairs as usual.

Pics tonight - It's about to get fun!

If that's K deficiency like it looks like, Epsom salt will just make it worse. Mg locks out K.
