Rolling through time~!

Happy Saturday~!
View attachment 102761The foam is blocking light to 2 Sirius Black tops/clones . None of the tops are thrilled with lights at 50% but the SB are the softest. I think they are 'ok'?

I started with moist soil and now only bottom water everyday leaving a little to help.

Some of them on the left side are getting close to 4' from the ground counting bucket.
Seeing some nice growth after topping and alternating branching is taking over. Yea I am still one of those guys that likes mature girls~!

4 Fruity freaks and 2 Canna Fun coming up.
Hoping for 100% but 1 of each looks suspect.
The 4 FF were the worst seeds of the pack, so it looks good for the remaining 5.

Going to keep on vegging a little longer but it is getting crowded already.
RH is no longer low with the larger buckets.
Tent is ready to accept the clones and seedlings if I want them to get their own space.
I haven't labeled any they are just next to their mom and it is easy to water them how they are.
If these work out I will have decided that the best way for me to clone is just cut and place in soil under the mom.
It seems for me the light that far above and indirect shade of the mom seem to really help?
Should know soon enough.
Have no clue what to do with all these if they make it.
20 moms 2 runts and seedlings are really more than enough.
I just hope I don't get carried away. Laugh but it has happened before~!

Plants look good steam.

so i read this and then days later asked you about it in Bandit thread... shows how much i pay attention sometimes!!!! you guys are really making me nervous saying your seeds didn't look odd... i'll get pics of mine later to show ya,... yikes!!!

plants are looking perfect man!!!!! monsters!!!!!!!!

BTW, you've already gotten carried away... carry on!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha

I said my seeds seemed pale in color and kind of small.
Besides the 2 freebies the 4FF were the worst looking seeds sent.
They hit the VG Monday night and are all showing today.

Right! I just got my supafreak and the seeds r tannish at best.

 

[steamroller]

I'm guessing there is more freakness to this plant then just the leaves?
Mine look just like yours Skinny.

They look happy !!

Sweet! Sounds like this will be a super convenient way to clone. Mommas raising their daughters up right.

Had any more thoughts on which way you might go with the new light?

I keep resisting the ACI evo 3.
It fits the footprint I have and lighting footprint I want.
I won't be surprised if two arrive before this grow is over.

Those diodes sound good Upgraded 301H

The H is for horticulture and includes a anti-sulfur coating, or some kind of protective coating, that large scale growers may use sulfur, and can corrode led fixtures.

I recently learned having the diodes a little spaced out from eachother, the heat is significantly reduced increasing longevity of the fixture/diodes.

Based off thermal imaging of fixtures that have diodes closer together, and ones that are more spaced out.

I could try and find the source information


So now I'm looking/considering that variable when I also consider buying new lights.

6/6 are active and alive here. Tails are going down and head is coming up. Helmets are still on and they're not showing yet so another day or two in the VG should do the trick.
Pale seeds yeah but they're not duds

4 of 4 Fruity Freaks and 1 of 2 Cannabliss went in solo cups tonight with the Castine raised bed soil and perlite.
The second Cannabliss never completely split open so I tossed it in soil but expect nothing. I'll give it a week.They were the freebies so 50% is still free~!
It really looks like all the tops will become rooted clones.
Kind of shocked how easily and quickly they adapted.

Weekend check in.
Going to probably flip tomorrow 6/1. Easy for my twisted brain to remember maybe.
Possibly have this group done by early August~!
Going to need to use tent for the clones which means I need to label them all.
Yea it looks like all have made it with little effort on my part. Not one loss~!
It really could not have been easier; top the plant, dip cutting, place in solo cup, bottom water.
Never had easier or healthier clones before.

They got cut 13 days ago. Looks like they made it?
Room is a little crowded.

Have only just watered first time since up pot.
Gave a light amount of just water and will feed tomorrow with more water.
Feel exhausted after watering them all. Going to need the help of the Blumats I think.
Yesterday they looked and tested good but tonight there were 4 showing signs of water stress.
As much as I like it I like to control it and not be surprised by it.
4 freak seedlings will also need to go in tent before outdoors.
If it is nice out tomorrow might get the 2 runts outside and into larger pots.

Top seedling is the lone Cannabliss.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Your set up was already pretty sweet. Seems even better, now. The way you're cloning makes all kinds of sense. Especially, since they are proving to be healthy.

Because of you, I've had Blumats watering houseplants in a a little back porch/sunroom for a little while, now. I love them. Way too easy once I got the valves dialed in.
