Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

So 18 above ground and 30 in the dirt of the 18 above ground 1 to 2 don't look real good. The ones in the ground are anybody's guess at this juncture but should be seeing life from them in the next few days here is a terrible pic of my girls and the beginning of the 2L army.

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

Well I have 26 above ground now and expecting another 4 - 5 should be up later today. Should be getting a list of seeds Friday and what exactly made it above ground so details to come soon just getting excited staring at the little seedlings knowing what is to be coming and anticipating the explosion of growth that I shall be seeing soon enough.

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

So got myself a supply order yesterday and got the parts to my cloner that I will be building. The plan is to make two 30 site cloners. You will see the pic the layout from the top side using 5 colors and 6 of each of those colors so as to make keeping up with them. About to take a seedling inventory and a plant count so that's going to be more exciment. So here are the #'s as we currently stand, with tomorrow is when I start the next round.

Now for the list:

Start with what is above ground current count 29
3 MK Ultra Fem
2 Sour Amnesia
1 Super Silver Haze Fem
1 Blueberry
1 Hawaiian Snow Fem
3 Bubblegum
1 Royal Highness Fem
2 Underdawg Fem
3 Grand Daddy Purple
2 Sour Diesel Fem
2 Lemon Skunk Fem
1 El Nino Fem
1 The Church Fem
2 Train wrecks Fem
2 Strawberry Fem
2 Snow White Fem

So that's the above ground list and now for seeds: seedling count 56

2 Sour Amnesia
2 Blueberry
1 Hawaiian Snow Fem
2 Bubblegum
2 Grand Daddy Purple
4 Sour D Fem
2 Lemon Skunk Fem
2 Trainwrecks Fem
2 Strawberry Fem
2 Snow White Fem
2 Super Lemon Haze Fem
3 Critical's
4 Big Bang Fem
2 The Doctor Fem
2 Jack Herer Fem
2 Industrial Plant Fem
1 White Rhino
5 Jack-Fi
5 regular and 2 fem AK
5 Super Skunk
2 Blue Fruit Fem

So now I need to decide what I will get started tomorrow, not looking to do a lot of seeds but a few more to further diversify. And now it begins the girls and boys above ground are all still babies but their ability to grow increases daily so by next week should have some nice babies to be showing off but 29 seedling look like 29 seedlings. Also forgot to look at what was in the seedling tray so I think I am going to have 3 - 4 more to add to the list. So that will put me at 70% success on germination so far. Not terrible but not great.

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

That is ALOT of seedlings and ALOT of different strains. I am jealous of the genetics. But If i where you I would concentrate on a smaller number of 1 or 2 strains at first. Hard to manage that many.

 

[Growingnow]

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

That's what I am doing is see a.) which strain I raise the best b.) which strains I like to smoke. So through natural selection and my person selection I hope to end with about 7 strains but as I am going to have the males at the beginning it would allow me to create lots more varieties of F1's giving me some interesting combo chances.

 

[Crawdaddy]

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

Well I would love to see the variety that for sure.

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

Cross my GDP with Sour D and call it Optimus Prime
Gonna have males of Grand Daddy Purple, Bubblegum, Blueberry, AK, and Sour Amnesia. So lots of choices of crosses and the endless possibilities would take years to grow out the # of possible combos and there are more male varities I could add to the list, but going for ladies now I have plenty of males to find some genetic material and if I collect the pollen I can use it to propagate some seeds in the first crop from the lower stems giving me back up seeds and nice genetics but I will still have the mothers that produced the clones that will be going into flower.

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

So I transferred my first round of babies into 20 oz foam cups for the time being and will be moving them into the 2.5 gallon grow bags. Also added another 8 or 10 girls to the project. 2 Blue Fruits, 2 Industrial Plant, 2 Doctors and 2 Jack Herer and I think that its but to be honest there should be a few more but just to tired and stoned to get up and check to see what the other one is. Good news from round one is that one more seed has popped and that one is Babylon from Flash Seeds.

This week I should start my cloners I have been considering the container to use as my reservoir and I most likely will use a small igloo cooler as this will be the best container to hold liquid and its insulated not to mention you can get em with wheels. Going to build two cloners using the colored 2" foam covers in 6 different colors for making it easier to keep track of the different clones and secondly because I think it will look cool as hell.

Currently Planted and Growing
3 MK Ultra Fem (these look very strong so far)
2 Sour Amnesia
1 Super Silver Haze Fem ( this one may not survive which would suck I really wanted to be able to add it to the list)
1 Blueberry ( having trouble with my blueberry and ak's on germination )
1 Hawaiian Snow Fem (this one is catching up to its buddies)
3 Bubblegum ( 100% germination rate but slow growers so far)
1 Royal Highness Fem ( interested in seeing this one grow out)
2 Underdawg Fem (Nice looking girls so far)
3 Grand Daddy Purple ( these ladies have me excited cant wait to see them progress)
2 Sour Diesel Fem ( one of the varieties I truly "wanted" to grow)
2 Lemon Skunk Fem ( Ehhh I will take what I can get from these)
1 El Nino Fem ( Beautiful Seedling so far)
1 The Church Fem ( Like El Niño nice looking plant so far)
2 Train wrecks Fem ( Quick growers so far)
2 Strawberry Fem ( Got leggy quick and now have to get them some strength on their stems)
2 Snow White Fem (Same as the strawberry)
1 Babylon Fem ( Day 1 is today so it has a long way to go)

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

Well add a green house seeds The Doctor and Jack Herer to the list, also have another Hawaiian Snow to the list but pretty sure I am going to lose the silver haze. Bringing my varieties up to 18 and with payday but a few days away a camera is on this round so as to be able to show all you lovely peeps what I get to see everyday and its starting to get exciting looking over the 30+ girls and just getting lost staring at them and they are still tiny. The best part is everyday they get to grow a bit more and the ability to grow more with their increased surface area of leaves.

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

Would be great to get some pics as you go. That's a heck of a lot of growing goin' on!

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

Well here are some long awaited pictures. Bit messy at the moment breaking it down Saturday and cleaning and changing up the room somewhat.

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

So here's some shots from the garden today gave the larger ladies their first taste of nutrients today with some piranha, tarantula, and Sensei Grow A and Sensei Grow B using the full line of advanced nutrients and only fed them quarter strength. Some are just exploding without the nutes and others are just looking nice. The fastest grower so far is Train Wreck hands down.

These pics are some of my favs so far the train wreck is just going to be a massive plant with its growth in comparison to the other 15 strains. The Mk Ultra and Underdawg OG are both nice look shorter growing plants so far. El Niño and The Church are both quite nice looking plants as well and are some of my favorites to look at so far. My Grand Daddy Purple is a nice looking plant and was the best looking seeds of the bunch I got luck and ordered 5 and got 10 and my first five didn't survive due more then likely to me. Sour Amnesia is another nice looking plant and this one was not anticipated on growing so interested to check it out. As it stands right now they are all females of the 32 except the 3 GDP's which could be either and the 1 blueberry and bubblegum. So some interesting chances at some seed production so far and I still have to start the second round in 3 weeks. Started building my cloner from the 48 quart ice chest cooler that I bought and its going to be pretty nice and should be able to maintain temps a bit easier being insulated and I stole the cooler idea from a grow I saw on here. All in all its a fun time and I swear I can see the train wreck growth difference daily already. I am going to veg them for three weeks before I start cloning them so should have a decent size top to take as my first clones. I am allowing for 2 weeks in seedling stage and 3 weeks in veg before cloning them and plan on 2 weeks in cloning before going into 2L bottles and strait to flower to get my samples from the first batch to see what I will be growing out and mass producing and which varieties that I am going to lose.

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

Well another day and another round of pics and maybe its just me but damn the train wreck looks bigger every single day out growing the others hands down. Any way early veg growth porn. Most of these are 15 - 6 days from seed.

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

HI, I read that you are going to use the 2 liter bottles later...but it there a particular reason they are in the grow tent with the plants at this time? If I missed reading something about that along the way, I apologize in advance. Just curious...

'das a LOT of plants goin' on!

 

[Growingnow]

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

Nope just a convenient place to store them and it allowed me to see how they would fit, and secondly I kept em in so that I can use them as a size frame of reference.

Just got done taking my daily pics and watering and filling water filter etc and I must say the canopy is filling out nicely and they seem to be responding well to the 1/4 strength of AN Sensei Grow with Piranha and Tarantula.

Monday's Pics
Just an overview of the canopy its starting to fill up nicely

And now Tuesdays Pic

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

The curling and twisting you see is the fan blowing the leaf as I am taking the picture.
My current media is just plain jane sunshine #4 and was looking to help the roots with the piranha and tarantula and to help establish a nice environment for them.
For my clones I will just be using the 2L method to test out all the plants and make my selections from there. First large harvest will be my doubles of all my varieties giving me about 13 plants to get rid off. By the time that they enter into flower they will be well over 5 months old and should be monsters.
As far as the nutrients go will be giving them 1/3 strength Sensei Grow with some B52 this week. Currently with the size of containers I am using I am watering daily. I went with nutes on Monday then plain water Tuesday - Thursday this week and on Friday going to go to 1/3 strength.
I am also aware that as we get going I will have multiple nute solutions as not ever plant is going to be able to handle the full strength of AN. That's why I will be going up very slowly and paying close attention to my girls as they will tell me whats what.

So current plan is 2 more weeks of veg growth then I plan on popping the tops and using those as my first round of clones. Also looking to de a heavy defilation at this time. I am going to have some monsters by the time that they go into flower, with them being inbetween 4 - 5 months old when they finally hit the flower tent.

I also understand that some may not respond well to my growing or my nutes but the good news is I have a few I can stand to lose, I am grasping more and more what an ambitious project that this is, but considering what I pay to smoke each year it is just an investment and I am probably gonna have some left over bud to have to dispose of.

And now more pics from yesterdays canopy as I wait for the lights to come on in the room today so that I can compare the growth I swear I can tell a noticeable difference everyday.

Re: 600 Watt Multi Strains from Seed Order to Harvest

And for todays addition here are some focusing on the middle front row Train Wreck including the roots. I had planed on transferring these ladies in two weeks to their 2.5 gallon grow bags but it would appear they will be going into them this week. They went into these cups less then a week ago and the size of their root ball has dramatically increased.

Subbed up and will go back and check out specs. great start so far it looks like.

Wow!!! I like. I am more of an organic guy nowadays but I have to say your cannabis list is impressive
