A Cornucopia of Delightful Cannabis Cultivars

Check out the white plastic egg crate grids for drop ceilings. They'll be near the replacement drop ceiling panels at any big box hardware store (Menard, lowes, or home depot in the USA, idk what you've got in canada). It works great for a 1/4" air gap and come in 2' x 4' sheets i just cut to fit my trays.

I already had the plastic walkway so just reused it, for now. The problem is the trays built in drain channels. They don’t go all the way to the edge so my platform sags at the corners. The soft pots can tilt. I need to make 4 plastic supports. Just haven’t gotten around to measuring the height yet.

If I’m not happy with the result I’ll go your route. I’ve seen a few others use it as well. It would be nice if it was the same height as the channel walls. Then a custom cut would be a nicer fit.

The elevators work fine for now and I’ll use them in this runs SCROG.

Man those Autos are gaining some height. By the way. What is the height on those babies?

The tallest one in the back right is a little over 6 foot. It’s a pretty wild cross the mother was an old super sativa club strain called Kees old school haze and it was crossed with mango smile and made into an auto. My buddy crossed the old school mango haze to a cosmic queen male and then crossed that plant to a strain he created using the zamaldelica so it’s got a lot of skunk 1 and haze genetics in its lineage

That’s awesome. Hope you have some huge colas when she finishes.
 
Really been struggling with picking the next run. The original plan was to run 72 but I changed that up a bit and have decided to cut it in half and run 36-38 plants. The plan is to alternate grows last run was a seed repro so this one is gonna be a larger pheno hunt to try and find a couple mother plants here are the 3 I’ve picked

I always have this issue too. So I'm going with 30, maybe 40 this run lol thinking 20 per 4x4 will do well in 1g pots
 
These buds are starting to look great I can’t believe these are autos. This pheno in the first couple pics is almost done I’m planning on chopping next weekend but the rest are 2-3 weeks off but starting to look really nice

I ended up chopping the smallest auto and the middle sized one this afternoon. The small one has been done since last week and the middle one looked all cloudy with about 10% amber and I found a small cluster of nanners on a lower bud so I wasn’t taking any chances and chopped her too. Just the big gal left I’m gonna let her go as long as I can until I see any bad signs she needs at least 90-95 days
I put the two jabbas stash f2s in the big tent and tomorrow I’m gonna clean out the 3x3 and get ready for the big hunt

It’s so cold and dry in my area right now I had to crank up the heater in my dry room it wasn’t going past 50f and the humidity was in the 30s it took almost 12 hours to get it up close to 50

I have dried at 60f.
It is just a slower dry but if you can manage it no big deal IMO.
Just watch the RH.
60/60 is nice IMO.

yeah they should be fine I just prefer it a little warmer but it will just take a little longer. Im just happy I was able to get the RH up a little I actually like it at 55rh I vape my flower and 55rh seems to be a good sweet spot for vaping, when I smoked the flower I liked 62-63rh instead

I’m the opposite. I like the vape at 390* and flower at 62’ish RH. For smoke I like it at 58 RH. 🤷‍♂️
 
And the next batch has been started. I got 12 umeboshi and 13 garlic mint x lavender Lemonaid and 12 Jabba f2s sitting in wet paper towels waiting to be planted but no room so I’m gonna grab some ceiling panels at Lowe’s tonight so I can get rid of these round risers and fit a lot more plants in the tent. That umeboshi is intriguing it’s supposed to have plum terps never had that before

Mission accomplished. Got some ceiling thingies and cut them to fit the 3x3 and planted the 12 Jabba f2 seeds that were dying to get planted these things had massive tap roots maybe 1.5 inches long had to dig extra deep holes so now I got 37 in there hoping for about 20-24 fems. Gonna do the same thing to the flower tent when these are ready to go in. Jabba f2s I planted last month and the lavender f3 are looking nice at day 27F getting some frost and smelling really nice the lav has a gassy lavender scent, the larger Jabba has kind of a funky earthy chocolate like the one female that was pollinated and the other had a weird astringent garlicky smell like the male that was used

So much better right? It allows you to place a pot anywhere it'll fit. Looks good bro!
 
So far 25 out of 37 have popped. I threw 5 more seeds in water this morning for a total of 42 just in case those 12 don’t wanna pop. I calculated that I can fit 36 1/2 gal pots in the tent so I’m trying to make sure I maximize the tent. Trying to mix it up a little since I’ve got a sativa hybrid in the umeboshi and more of a Indica hybrid in the garlic mints I wanted a decent middle hybrid so I went with chem 91 x sour bubble. The last auto in the flower tent is taking forever she tentatively planned for the chop around Feb 8 in two week
