lookin good AS, love 3 dog night...peace

]The beans where started in party cups on 1/5, no pre germing or soaking. Just planted directly into the medium. Transplanted into the 2qt pots on 1/20. Final pots will be 3gal.
The medium mix consists of peat moss, worm castings, perlite. At a ratio of 1/3rd each. And to each gallon of mix 2 heaping tablespoons of dolomite lime and 1 heaping tablespoon of Espomas Garden Tone fertilizer. I will use this fert all the way through till harvest. Top dressing every 3 weeks or so.
Well water which is 7.8 pH and 280 ppm. No pH adjustments will be made.
First 2 weeks they where under mix spectrum T-5s and switched to 400 MH yesterday when transplanted. In a week or so I will switch to Hortilix HPS for the remainder of the grow.(would be under HPS now but waiting on a new bulb)
So as you can see this is a no frills grow. No topping or training. Just some selective pruning of the lower branches in a few weeks just before flipping to 12/12.
I will do my best to update weekly.
Thanks for stopping by....

I have wanted to grow AO for a few years now. But whenever I went to order beans they were out of stock. Got AO and Black Widow beans(also always out of stock)in the same order. Looking forward to this grow and the Black Widow which will be next. If I only get a couple females then I may pop a few of the BW to fill the space. Or I have some fem Belladonna(my all time fav)seeds. We will just see how things go.

yea 3 one of each a defferent phenotype would be nice i got a 5 pack and only 1 fem mine was sour orange haha i wounder what else is out there

edit: i like how close your nodes are i was using cfl at the start of my grow and they stretched a little

Along for the ride.

Glad you could make it Slab.

I forgot to mention that the grow area is the lower half of a DR90T tent. It measures 3x3x5. Kinda short yes but I found a nice way around that. My Blockbuster hood(glass removed)set on top of the tent, fixed position. I raise and lower the plants to light. This allows for full use of the 5ft inside height. So far its has worked really well. It also keeps any ducting outside of the tent. An 8 inch duct booster fan for exhaust up high and a 6 inch duct booster blowing in down low. Even running 600 watt the temp never exceeds 10 degrees above the ambient lung room temperature.(lung room is 11x11)
Odor is not an issue for me so no carbon filters or scrubbers used. Ballast is a Lumatek 600 watt adjustable.

I am so tempted to top and clone them. But I am not. Everything I have read indicates AO does not respond that well to topping. Subcool even suggests to grow un-topped. I probably will clone some of the prunings just in case a bomb pheno is about.

Gcall ,if the breeder goes out of their way to say don't do something it's probably best not to..

looking nice i cant wait to see them fill up that room

edit: i havent hard of not topping it :/ my from seed was topped once looked really nice
no hermy no seeds
i have taking clones 3 times now
everyone rooted
also have some clones that are topped 4 times now doing fine
but i dont no if they will hermy yet ill let you no in a couple of months
im about to thro them into flower
tryed FIM one but didnt turn out so well

here is the clone i have from the mother that is in flower
i have topped this on 2 times
also trimmed some of the leaves well the lower ones like a early lollipop
its growing fine i just hope it doesnt hermy
also here are some pics of the mom in flower i only veg for 1 month
i had a 5 pack only 1 fem
i veg so little bc i just wanted to clone and see sexs so i dont put alot of work into some males
here is the little mom i already cut 2 branchs off for well test smoke so shes even smaller then what she would be but very frost srry my cam sucks

i had to tie her branches together bc she was stretching to far out and my light didnt cover that far
im hopping they clone well have a bigger yield lmfao

How long of a veg are you thinking of for the agent orange?

Those look good JPH. And thanks for the info on topping them. I cant remember for sure where I read Subcool stating for best yields not too top.
And I am thinking a 4-6 week veg. I would like to see some preflowers so I can sex hem before the next up-potting.

yea and i would like to see some grow out untopped just to see what happens

beans down...granny may have known more than she thinks...worms and nature are pretty smart too...

Something to consider. Grandma didnt have HID or the internet. Bottom right is the first male in the house...back right and left are my next guess males...

Those leaf striations are so defined, looks like alligator tails.

I wanna see ORANGE buds , looks great.

Low humidity and color rendition have something too do with it......
