Thanks Beez! I’m glad all the girls in the 3x3 turned around after that flush a while back and are looking strong going into flowering!
I’m really happy with the 4x4 so far and the critical being such a fast finisher is an added bonus! She’s a winner and I’m sure she will be a part of my mother collection for years to come!
Harvest will happen tomorrow !! We had a few friends over for a fire and games last night and didn’t go to bed till pretty late so I missed the lights on this morning! Gives me a day to prep for 3x big criticals!

Well it’s that time again!! Happy Sunday!
Let’s start off with the 4x4 today shall we!
Cruising right along these girls are looking great! Strong healthy and bulking more each day this is quite the Pheno Hunt so far! A few girls have been starting to show their late stage colours and begin the fades. Really excited to see how they look in a few weeks with some colours coming through!
As you all know from earlier today was harvest day! I didn’t quite get done what I wanted but I got a good start at least. Only 1 of the 3 criticals were chopped washed and hung today due to some other tasks that got in the way... I’ve got a few days off this week so I should be able to get the others done before next weekend. With the busy day I didn’t get as many photos taken either but here’s a couple from the chop! I’ll be sure to get more up tomorrow
Then we have the clone box also known as my drying box lol! The clones that were first taken and transplanted have been doing great with healthy vibrant new growth!
The wedding cake clone was growing really quickly and I had it sitting on top of the bubble cloner to stay close to the light. Well today when I went to go move it the whole bet pot and collar came out attached to the small pot and I was confused at first until I seen a massive taproot diving into the bubble cloner!! Crazy enough the collar must have held enough moisture for the roots to search grow through and continue their search to water!! Check this out
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to remove it safely so I did a minor root prune..whoops!
The root game is strong with this batch!
Next up is the 3x3 MarsHydro tent with the SP-150
These ladies got fed yesterday and you can see how happy they are! With the food defoliation the other day these girls have been focusing on strong flower development already and are off to a fantastic start! Tomorrow I’ll be turning on my 3rd SP150 and see how things go! As long as I don’t see any light stress come on over the course of the day we will let it go!
With 3 SP150 on that puts the total wattage in the tent at ~402W give or take.
That’s 44.67W/sq.ft which is a bit strong but we will see! Fingers crossed for some resin coated rocks come harvest haha
All in all things are moving right along and I’m really happy with the results so far! My goal for next round is to improve quality yet again and get my growing environment in my 4x4 tent with a few new upgrades that will be revealed later this week!
I hope you all have a fantastic week ahead and I can’t wait to share some more harvest pics with you all!

My mistake 
. Just lookin at all those pics took some time! Looks like you've got a helluva garden growing! Clones all looking good too, hopefully I'll be able to keep up better now that all my staycations have ended for the summer.
I noticed you lollipopped those plants at 13-14 days, is that normal for your garden?
Have you seen a difference between doing the prune at 2 weeks instead of 3?
I did something similar to one my autos and had pretty good results.

Nice work on the defol, love the budding, wow on the floppage, and congrats on the one-third of the harvest completed! With the clones, mothers, vegging, and flowering, it really looks like you're running a major grow operation there.
Thanks for all the help @Dutchman1990, @Pennywise, and @ProfessorFlora. Dutch, if you don't mind me photo-bombing, here is one of the plants I did this weekend:
My puppy still hates the leash so we still haven't taken her for a walk! We'll keep trying because once she realizes there's a whole world out there...

Hey Agemon! Sorryyour staycations are over with for the summer but hopefully you got some rest and had a blast! Glad you can hang around for the fun stuff ahead! It’s all just been plants growing until now lol!
So I decided to do a defoliation earlier this time because my tent was extremely congested and I wasn’t getting the airflow I wanted. After opening them all up and giving them a good feed I noticed some explosive growth like I never touched them!
Surprisingly I did see a difference actually! Budsites became more apparent and it helped to minimize the stretch. I was already starting to push my limits with my height so that helped as well.
I’m not sure if it was just these plants this round as o have never grown any of these before but for the variety I have going to all react similar I would say it’s something to test out! I will be trying it again next round on a few plants that are from clone for a better comparison!

Hey Brother Shed drop some photos by anytime!! I’m excited to see how the root pruning works for you and to see how the plants respond! I havnt done this yet but will have to eventually so I’m thankful for your tests!! I’ll be watching closely.
Once he discovers the “other” world he will be begging for walks all the time haha! They are such silly buggars in the puppy stage! Cute as can be but so dorky

Hey @oopssteptinit
Welcome to 420mag! I figured I would invite you over if you havnt been by yet!
If you took a clone from a clone only mother you could cycle that clone for many years to come. If you read back a page in this journal you will see us chatting about Bonsai Mothers and how to maintain them! That starts here:
Bonsai Mother keeping
Any questions done hesitate to ask my friend!!
Hope you have a great day planned pal

Oh well helloooo again everyone!!
Happy Hump day!
Everything in the garden is doing good and with both tents flowering away we are making good progress in this Pheno Hunt!
The other 2 criticals will be harvested on Friday and open up some room in the tent.
I’ll be moving the girls around and repositioning for the final weeks. I’m also noticing the BadAzz Kush ladies are starting to look like they are getting closer so I’ll be pulling out the loupe this weekend to take a look! All the ladies are starting their late stage fades and some really nice colours are starting to push through.
I watered the Pheno group #2 clones for the second time today! They are being fed at 3.0g of MegaCrop per gallon and are looking fantastic. I’ll take some pictures of them tomorrow as well as the mother tent which is filled to the maximum!! Nothing out of the ordinary here at the Dutch house lol
3x3 ladies are really looking good and with a few showing some early frost I’m eager for a canopy full of sticky buds! Check out these ladies just praying to the lights
I’ll be doing a good update tomorrow and then this weekend I’ve got a big upgrade drop that I can’t wait to share with you all!
Lots of things in the workings here and it’s just the beginning!!
Until tomorrow stay medicated !
Looking damn good in there Dutch! You’ll be well stocked up on meds soon that’s for sure. You got your eye on any good phenos?
Any hints on the upgrade??

So far BadAzz #1 and Canuck Cookies#1 are looking like the choices! Wedding Cake#2 is looking real nice as well!
Not sure about my 3x3 yet but it’s still really early! I’m excited to compare the 3 Canuck Cookies and select a winner!
I skipped it just for you so prepare for today
Thanks Tomuk! Busy as always and the garden is looking good! The first critical looked great and I’ve started the other 2x this morning! Trim prison today woohoo
Thanks Sauga! They did indeed! Shouldn’t be long now till it’s just a sea of thick juicy colas covered in trichs! Yippeee
TRIMMING CONTINUES! Harvest Day for the last 2 of the Critical+2.0! Stay tuned for harvest pics and the big upgrade drop to be!

What’s up my friends! Picture packed update with the big upgrade drop!
Let’s get it! After a quick intermission..
Ok! Now we are ready!
First things first let’s check out these group 2 Pheno clones! Healthy green and off to a good start I’m excited to find my winners and thin this group out! The CBD clones are getting their feet under them and perking up with some new green growth!
The 4x4 got some space opened up with the harvest of the next 2x Critical+2.0 ladies who I must say are frosty, sticky and some extra yummy smelling ladies! Here’s a few harvest pictures from today!
Now let’s check out the 3x3 MarsHydro tent!
These ladies are loving life so far and have been praying steadily to the SP150 light gods! As I was watering today I noticed something odd... a colour difference in the tops of one plant! At first I thought it might have been a Pink kush but in fact it’s Purple Queen who’s got some hidden colours starting to show through.
Now I know you’ve all been waiting for the big upgrade drop so here it is!!
Booom!! Fan stand! What an upgrade right! I was looking in the tent and wondering where my fan was lol! Buried in the canopy so it needed to be raised up to get those tops swaying and push some good air around them!
........ ok ok that’s not the actual upgrade but I had you going didn’t I lol!
Let’s get serious for a minute though! With my garden growing and my experience expanding I figured it was time I made the move to a QB setup! After these ladies in the 4x4 are done and harvested I’ll be doing a clean and reset and getting this bad boy setup!
Drawing 500w at the wall I’m expecting some great results this next round! Now not only am I upgrading my lighting setup I’ve been wanting to upgrade my watering setup.
Hand watering is great but with my next round coming up I plan on setting up a double trellis system (which my design and setup will be posted later on) which won’t allow for plants to be coming in and out. So after looking around and doing some thinking I’ve decided to set up and automated watering system! Using an integrated watering system I’ll be using a matrix plate for even pot watering and nutrient dispersion. I’ll have some tweaking to do and figure out once I get it all set up but the general idea is to continue running with Promix using MegaCrop and giving them a feeding every 3rd day.
Alright finally I did a quick inspection of some trichomes In the 4x4. BadAzz ladies are getting closer to the finish than the wedding cake or Canuk Cookies is currently but still need a few weeks I think! Showing a random Amber here and there but lots of cloudy and clear still!
Well that’s the upgrades in progress and a few pictures from the harvest today! I’ll be checking the first critical that was harvested to see if it’s ready for jarring and to begin the cure tomorrow maybe? I’ll be pulling out the plants in the 4x4 reorganizing the ladies and placing them back after a good feeding tomorrow! The 2x2 tent with Pheno group 1 mothers are getting ready for another defoliation/cut back but that’s for another update!
Until tomorrow my friends!!
