The middle is the new HOG mother. It was one of the 4 clones i transplanted a few weeks ago. Had to trim her several times to make her bushier.

These are the other clones i transplanted with the mother above and theyre now flowering so i can get them out of the way for the SOG

Nice! The long wait begins. haha

Everythings lookin good so far. Clones are doin nice.

Still tryin to think of a good strain for my mini indoor grow. Short, stalky, single cola plants, not too skunky or smelly cause i wont have a carbon filter.

trying to do 4 in a mini sog since my box is about 1 1/2' x 1 1/2' x about 4 feet tall. So only have about 2 1/2-3 feet to grow.

other idea was a scrog/lst with only one plant

any suggestions on strains would be appreciated!

I don't go by the clock anymore. I know when one of my plants is good to go by looking at it. That comes from growing the same strain for over 5 years lol. I got a nice digital scope so I can see the tri's pretty good. Nice rig you got btw. I run a 600w hybrid as well, in a 4x4 tent but I been using soil for to long now and this is my last grow in dirt. By the middle of next month I should be starting a new crop DWC style.

thanks again! ive only ran this strain once through flowering so far. been tossin around a few strains ivebeen dyin to try.

i grow in promix so its technically soil(less) if you will haha. Alot less ph issues than soil.

Ive wanted to do a little hydro setup for my mini grow im gonna start soon but the heat control is going to be based on the temp outside so i didnt wanna fuck with root rot and all that shit.

what kinda nutes you run??

I have always grown in MG soil and used Mg nutes. Till now, and I got fem WW to start afresh. So when it's all said and done I can shelve the MG and these Kush seeds(thats all it say's on the label)that I'v been using for 5 years lol.

that should be a good yielder with the WW and that hydro set up.

ive heard pretty good things about dutch master. Looks basically the same as dyna gro but might be a little more expensive.

Ive got some free dyna gro to try out soon. itll be my base nute for my indoor grow. Then ill add the nectar for the gods as supplements when needed.

100% free nutes on that mini grow. All free samples. Hell, i even had the box and light and ducting and fans already so the only thing i have to buy is seeds and electricity.

I'v been told that this dutch master nutes are expensive by a few people already lol is it really that more expensive? mind you I will only be paying less than 2 dollars shipping and handling. When I check on other brands(usually not easily available in canada)in the states they murder me with shipping and handing, usually more than the product is worth. I think I will check out some of my local greenhouses and see what they have plus I like to see my stuff before buying so I am not going to buy them buckets either as it will only cost me less than half to make it all myself(already got my package waiting for me, 72.00).
Got to love free. I get no love I got to buy everything even my weed lol.

Ya I'm hoping that this will work out well for me I think I can stick all six in the tent and top the girls twice and still have enough room in the tent(4x4) I will put my res outside the tent so that will be more room also I will be getting the fans of the floor so again more room.

As it is now I average 3 zips a plant topped twice in MG soil and nutes so I hoping to at least get 5 but with six girls in there realistically probably 4 zips a plant. I'll start a journal when I get it all set up right now I got about a month to go maybe lees for my girls to finish.

Im gonna be slowin down on reportin this thread. The SOG of HOG is on holdup because we lost the bottoms to our air pots in a move recently. So ive been debating a scrog of hog but either way i gotta focus mostly on that and some work so i wont be taking as many pictures but i will be stoppin by to update.

Right now we have 5 hogs in flower. 2 about 40 some days in and 3 that are a little over 2 weeks in. I have 8 clones and one mother in veg. 4 clones are 2 weeks apart from the other 4. The clones that are the newest to be planted were almost a month old before being planted so they were a little shocked and havent started growing much yet. The 4 that are ahead are growing nicely. Should be going into flower after a few toppings.

I wanted to put both sets of clones in at once but since the 4 got shocked ill probably just build them up for the next go around.

Might have to go get some regular pots to suffice in the mean time just because air pots have gone up in price lately. I used to be able to get 10pks of the 1 gallon airpots for 20 shipped. Now theyre only available in 20 pks for 100. Thats some shit. Ive only used regular pots a handfull of times but theyre tried and true so i might just have to make the switch.

grand total of 9.3 oz off the last harvest. Which is just less then double what i got off the single plant from seed. so not bad for 2 clones vegged for 30-45 days then flowered for ~60 days.

The hog is definitely a yielder with some potency and would make a ton of hash from the trim and bud, but i miss the flavor of the grape god and kings kush.

Luckily i got the blue widow startin up and that should be some killa.

I wish more of the seeds would have popped and i probably would have found a better tasting but just as good yielding pheno.

This just about wraps up this journal. I got one or 2 more harvests of the hog comin up but ive been too busy to update this and have been focusing on the blue widow and the mini cab grow where ill start growin an automatic cheese by dinafem and about a month into it ill start a white widow from dinafem so it can veg for a few weeks while the auto cheese finishes up and the second i chop it i can toss the white widow into flower.

Thanks everyone for watchin. If anyone grows the hog or critical hog feel free to post here and continue the journal on. Ill be here to answer question and check out pictures.

Later everyone!

Thanks man. Im gonna be runnin a few other things now. Finally makin the conversion to leds so be ready for that one. It should be good.
Also we are upgrading from 1 600w hps for flower and a 400w cmh for veg to 2 300w led panels and the 600w with a mh in it for flower and a 400 and maybe 250w cmh for veg since we still have em. Hopefully these ones are all theyre cracked up to be so i can switch my whole veg over to them. Love that purple glow. I wonder if method seven makes glasses to reverse the crazy glow of leds hahaha.

Nice grow bro!
Sorry about the seed ratio, but I had the same thing here with gifted seeds not popping as well.
Out of 14 seeds 4 popped and 3 lived.

Yeah cant argue with the gifted seeds though. Hopin these dogs i just started germin yesterday have a good ratio.

got over 20 of em so i should be able to get at least 1/4 to pop haha.

With the grape god i only had 1 seed and it turned out to be BANGER.

I ran DOG s1s
1 was a hermie from the start or a male I cant remember.
The other 2 looked similar, crazy strong, but bud size is SOOOO small its worthless except as hash.
I flowered em outside so to have small buds bewilders me.
I topped em a few times, but then didnt keep up with the shoots.
All my other strains had some duff as well, but lots and lots of sizable buds as well.
Anyway 2 phenos, 1st one is daytime with super energy and paranoia with a strong body under it.
2nd pheno smells and looks almost identical but slightly larger buds and high is mellow relaxing and makes you happy and maybe kinda goofy.

Thats awesome! those 2 pheons soundl ike the ones hemlock and the crew described to me. He said one was very headband leaning, took 11 weeks but was the SUPER KILL and an amazing yeilder with that paranoid high. And he said theres another that takes 8-9 weeks that is the same just slightly different like youre describing, slightly smaller yeild but that goofy smoke, not the headband floored smoke haha.

So maybe you just choppedit a lil early?? Lettin my hog go an extra week didnt do much for flavor but brought a lil more density to my buds.
