As always i like to get the worries out the way, AK has a couple of sets of leave (middle) having the claw the tips browning, I've seen this before and it was too much nitrogen but as i am on all mix with no added nutes I'm sceptical this is my problem, in the past iv notices all mix to be inconsistent with the food so if it is Nitrogen she will grow out of it. During lights out I've been running a ceramic heat lamp, this is good but as it doesn't show any light i kind of made a school boy error of thinking it was heating up every night, 'BLOWN' so for the last 3 nights she has been dropping to uncomfortable temps, i am not convinced this is my problem as AK is the only effected and only 2 sets of leaves. After checking a few things i have come to the conclusion to let her be and keep an eye on her to see if problem continue i have a feeling she will grow out of it, if anyone has any ideas please feel free to share.
Ak
Damage
Northern lights is really taking off, the beauty in here thick indica rubber like leaves and squat structure, stretching the diameter of here canopy daily. After the first burn on her leaves no other problems have arisen, she seems to be happy with whatever is chucked at here be it cold temps or a over analysing gardener. I see her roots have just hit the bottom of her air pots and can imagine the structure of her roots are building, still no signs of needing food so will be keeping my eye on them for their first feed.

The aero cloner has been a bit disappointing, dealing with low res temps there has been minimal if any root growth, i purchased a water heater (100L fish tank jobby) left it in there over night and its a duff* one thing doesn't heat up although the light comes on, so i will be returning this and buying a new one. I have a clone from WR in root riot that is fully rooted and just started showing new growth, i will be training her into a bonsai and keeping an eye on her for her mothers signature trait.
Rooted clone WR
All three new varietys are looking great with no ill effects from the All Mix, Purps is looking amazing with here wide leaves and already slightly blue compared to all the others, still young there is still very little to report, watering when needed and will be transplanted into larger pots soon. OG has seemed to be taking over with the the fastest growth with leaves being very long and narrow, bringing all these different variety's to a sea of green is going to be a difficult task due to all the different structures they all hold, my main objective is to find a few strains similar in height and growth rate that i can work with to master the SOG. SW is looking very similar to OG with here long narrow leaves, i am expecting to see good things from her in the 2 Litre bottle and hope i can find another variety to keep her company in the SOG.

Breeding
I've been doing a lot of preparation and studying to kick off my breeding programme, i am yet of start a journal for this as my girls are still in early days and much like my 2Litre Journal would fill up with tumbleweed, so i will drop a few lines in here just for some reference in later dates. 1 of the 2 selected females for the breeding programme will also be going in to the SOG.
After germinating 10 Afghani specials, in under 24 hours all showed there taps so i sowed in to All Mix, all have broken the soil and are showing their first set of spikey.
Germination
Seedlings Afghani
I am getting very stretched on the footprint of my FLO tubes and working my hardest to get the breeding area ready for the girls, this is limiting my online time so sorry guys I'm trying to keep up with all your journals.
I hear you on keeping up with journals.... it's so easy to just hit the like button sometimes
I don't think that little spot or "claw" is bad, do you see a slight fading by the edges of the fan leafs? The 2nd and 3rd pic look like they are showing some Cal/mag def.
Good looking seedlings man, just cover them up to their necks and they will stay steady. Good luck with the breeding plans and everything.
