Dutchman’s Pheno Hunt!

Man I know it's early but that looks awsome, I wish I had room to grow that many. I'd have to say the wedding cake interests me the most. And I know the triploid isnt exactly great for a pheno hunt, it sure is interesting. Keep up the great work!
Hey cookie and thanks pal! I may have jumped in a little heavy but I’m confident in how things will turn out! I’m actually really excited to be running all these strains and look forward to the work ahead!

I agree the triploid isn’t the Pheno I am wanting but I will do it justice and see how she turns out! Thanks again brother and I hope your well!
 
Nice work, man. Are you planning to take all plants through to flower or culling off ones that appear to be the same phenos based on leaves and structure (as they develop) and popping the additional beans for those strains?
Hey Growca and thanks! I do indeed plan on flowering every plant all the way to finish! I want to give every plant it’s special place to show me and determine which one is best! The BadAzz Kush triploid is out of my Pheno Hunt though.

Before I flower the strains I will be taking a clone of each one. Once I flower and see the quality of each chemovar I will then decide which ones to cull and which one will them become my dedicated mother!

I know it’s going to get crazy but I’m up for a challenge! My goal is to end up with some winning mothers that I can keep around and run for years to come. I plan on flowering 9x at a time to make it a little easier to sort and select my winning phenos!

What’s going on everyone! I’ve got a bunch to go over today with you all and let me tell you I can hardly wait!

As you all may recall I had 2x SP-150s in my 3x3 tent but since my seedlings outgrew the T5 fixture so fast I had to upgrade and give them one of the SP-150s which now resides in the 2x2 seedling tent. After thinking about it and knowing I’m in the process of upgrading and expanding I decided to spend a bit of cash. I was really impressed last round with the 2x SP lights in the 3x3 tent so I decided to look into an additional. After talking with @SmokeSara she hooked me up and got me 2x more SP-150s for a deal I could not refuse!


Thanks again Sara! So now I’ve got 4x of these bad boys rockin with one in the seedling tent and 3x in the 3x3 MarsHydro tent! Let the fun begin!


Now looking at the wee ones they have all begun to grow quicker now each and every day. With them needing another watering today it will be the last time without any nutrients. Next watering I’ll be adding in 2g/gallon of MegaCrop.





So the Purple Gorilla Autoflowers will be getting transplanted this week into 5Gal fabric pots which they will finish off in. I want to transplant them sooner so they can settle in and get going in the bigger pots. For the transplanting I purchased some MykosWP off amazon which I’ve heard a lot of good things about.
It’s something I look forward to using but it may arrive to late for the transplanting of the autos! It said possibly a 2-3week delivery time! Yikes! Hopefully it shows up sooner than rather than later but either way it’s something I look forward to adding to my arsenal!

Finally it was the beginning of the training for my critical clones today. Each day I’ve been lightly massaging their stems but today I gave them a good bending in preparation for tomorrow’s torture!


That’s right! Snip snip time for these ladies! Going to be topping them and removing some lower nodes to create my “X” pattern and start these new quads off! I’m expecting some big things this round and I’m excited and thankful to have you all along with me!

Let’s get this party started! One Love

Stay Medicated!
 
Hot damn holy shit. Nice setup dude. Legit. Nice lookin greens and some tasty flavours.
 
It always amazes me how quickly those seedlings take off. :thumb:
 
Those lights man! Such an awesome setup. Your plants will be living the high life....just like you :)
I’m super excited! The 3x of these SP-150s should really turn this grow up!

Looking good Dutch. Babies are rockin.
Thanks Derby! They are growing quicker each day now not long till they explode!!

It's all coming together for you Dutch!
Thanks Penny! Slowly and surely I’m trying to get things dialled in!

Hey Sgt! Welcome to my new journal! There’s definitely some tasty chemovars lined up this round that I’m extremely excited about!

It always amazes me how quickly those seedlings take off. :thumb:
Me to! They change overnight it’s so amazing! The growth spurt is just around the corner and then the real fun begins!

Thanks Amigo! The SP series definitely does work and I’m extremely happy with them! If you got a 4th the temple would be boomin!

Sprouts look great, and in terms of the Criticals, I'm finding that I'm ramping up the MC faster than the recommendation on the bag. I'm already at 5.5g/gallon for the vegging plants I'm going to flip next month and I will surely get to 6.5 (or even 7.0 which is where Homer is probably heading for his).
Ooh thanks Shed good to know as I’m just about to start upping the criticals this feed. Next watering the little ones will start on MegaCrop at 2.0g/gallon and go up from there each feeding. I’m noticing a few of the cotyledons have begun to yellow off so that’s a good sign of a time to begin feeding.
 
Looking good Dutch. I've been thinking about adding a second sp250 to my tent as well.

Your seedlings are waaay taller than mine at the same age, is that due to some stretch before you gave them an sp150? All 3 of mine are quite squat but putting on some size now.

I asked you in my journal but I'll ask here too, you said you have your single sp150 hanging 28" above your littles, I've got my sp250 hanging about 36" above mine with pretty much zero stretch. Should I lower the light to give them more, leave it where it is as they seem to be ok or possibly raise it a bit to get them to stretch a bit?
Thanks
Have a knife day

If you lower the light it won’t increase stretch as the light intensity reaching the plant will increase. If you leave it where it is the seedlings will grow up to it and if your finding your not getting a ton if stretch that’s not a bad thing.

I added my SP-150 in because I didn’t want my seedlings to stretch to much. They have entered the early Veg stages now and are beginning to grow faster. The stretch they are showing now is normal growth which I’m very pleased about so far might I add!

So to answer your question and also being over at your journal I would either lower it to 32” and see how the seedings handle it. The stretch will happen naturally now as they grow. If you notice they are suffering from the light being moved closer then just back it off and let three grow a bit more and try again in a few days time!

Hope that helps!

What’s up everyone! Just a quick update this evening as I have been super busy today and haven’t had much time in the garden.

These little ones are really growing quickly and I’ll be transplanting the Autoflowers this weekend into their final 5Gal fabric pots to finish off in. I’ll also probably get around to transplanting the rest of the young ones into 1Gal pots and move them into the 3x3.

Today is Day 13 and wow has the growth exploded on these girls! Here is a little comparison from day 9-12 and a final of today on Day 13

I’m looking forward to transplanting and seeing how these girls progress! Also I’ll be posting some training pictures tomorrow of the critical+2.0 and the starting of the quadline!

I hope your all well and Stay Medicated!
