WW#1-Round 2 Day #30

The 4 ladies are flowering, I did some more supercropping but on the 2 front ladies this time. The clones look pretty ok. The mother is doing just fine.

Here’s some pics from today.

WW#1- Round 2 Day #42.

Hello community,

Its been 12 days since I posted last. The 4 ladies are looking good and have been in flowering mode since the 19th of October. (13 days)

I got another 32”x32” tent to replace the 24”x24” tent in the right side of my closet. So, now im going to scrog the big plant that I was planning to keep as a mother. And im going to do a small sog along with the scrog in the same tent. So now I should be able to keep my 2 bigger tents in flower all the time. (That’s the plan anyway)

I’m going to use the upper part of my closet for a veg and mother area.

Here’s some pics.

WW#1- Round 2 Day #43

Hope everyone is well.

The 4 lady’s have been flowering for 2 weeks now. It’s 72f in their tent, 70f ambient air.
Idk humidity right now.

I’m building a light fixture for the new tent, same as it’s twin in the left side of the closet, with a slightly different wood combination.

Here we go again.

So I finished the 22 light socket array. I’m using 8 bulbs above the big plant for now. She’s in a 15 gallon tub with some hydroton at the bottom and a mix of mostly FFOF and a little light warrior cuz I ran out. I added about 1TBSP per gallon of garden lime and a big handful of EWC. The little ones will get 1 gallon pots when I switch the tent to flower mode.

The 4 ladies need a trim job but otherwise are looking good.

Here’s some pics.

WW#1- Round 2 Day #44

Hello community,

Its day 15 of flower for the 4 ladies. (Day 23 or 24 since flip... I still need to get an exact date)

The baby Widows are looking fine.

The big plant in my new tent received a good round of LST/Supercropping and since she’s “shorter” now, I added a few bulbs to make the total 12 and arranged the bulbs as such.

WW#1-Round 2 Day #48

Hello community,

Its day 19 of flower. I did some defoliation on the 4 ladies today. And by “some” I mean “A LOT”. They needed it.

The new tent received scrog net, I plan to make it tighter and flatter soon. Later tonight I will be transplanting the little babies into 1 gallon pots. And I’ll flip the new tent in a couple days.

Here’s some pics.

WW#1- Round 2 Day #49.

Hello everybody,

Things are looking pretty happy. The 4 ladies received a good defoliation yesterday and I think they appreciate it. It’s still pretty messy in there tho, I did not train very well this time around. But it’s ok because, I’m not too worried about yield anymore, im starting to get on a roll with the 2 tents... I get to practice a little in my new tent with the scrog screen, plus I’m excited about the small sog that will end up being 8 or 9 single cola plants in the same tent.

If the sog does well then I will probably keep that method going and I will be able to keep both tents flowering at all times. Or maybe I will stick with the 4 plants and add a scrog screen, which would require a little veg time. We will see... I don’t even have my mother/clone/veg area set up yet. Haha.

Anyway here’s some pics from this morning.

WW#1-Round 2 Day #50

Hello community,

Today marks 3 weeks flowering for the 4 ladies. They received a major trim job 2 days ago and I swear they didn’t notice a thing. In just the past 2 days the buds have gotten noticeably bigger and frostier. Yay.

The new tent and scrog are looking good. I see lots of “new” tops coming up, I need to let them develop a little before I flip I think. Hopefully just a few more days. I may throw my 1 gallons plants in a dark room for a couple nights so they don’t veg any longer. I don’t want them to grow anymore really, so I need to initiate flower ASAP. But they are not super healthy at the moment so maybe I’ll just let them ride it out with the scrog. We shall see.

Anyway, here’s some more pics.

WW#1- Round 2 Day #51.

Tent temp is 77-78
Bedroom temp 73-75 and 36%RH.

Flowering day #22 for the 4 ladies.

The SCROG/SOG tent is looking good, I think I’m switching my timer to 12/12 tonight. No 36 hours of darkness this time, only because I might not be here to switch the timer back on for a couple days. Haha. I’d like to let it veg a couple more days but I think I will have enough tops come up during stretch. I might even have too many at this point. Judging by my last couple grows, these babies “bush” out so much that they easily triple the amount of foliage by the time stretch is over. So anyway, it will be interesting to see, this is my first attempt at a real SCROG and so far I’m pretty happy.

Here’s a few pics.

Well I transplanted the last 3 little widows and switched my timer to 12/12.

It looks like I have the room to do a 25 plant SOG in these 32”x32” tents. Even if I only hit 7 grams a plant I’d be ok with that, since I could keep 2 tents flowering all the time with no downtime for veg. But that seems like a lot of work managing 50 flowering plants and also keeping the mother productive enough to generate more than 25 healthy clones (that need to be nearly identical, structure wise) and do it every 4 to 5 weeks since I would stagger the tents cycles. Obviously it’s totally doable but idk if I’m up for the work it takes to totally dial in a productive perpetual 50 plant SOG, in the space I have now at least. (I’m very limited on working space, aka my upstairs bedroom)

I know Ill do a SOG in one of these tents eventually. I’ve wanted to do one for years now, so whenever I get around to it, Ill be super picky with my clone selection to ensure it would be my best example of a 1 gallon SOG possible. Anyway... here’s a few pics to end the night.

Just want to add to my last post... if these 1 gallons pots yield me 14 grams a piece like some people are able to manage, then I will switch to the sog method for both tents for sure. I know I’m able to pull more than 12oz per tent with 4 bigger plants with some veg time... but if I can get that same amount and keep it totally perpetual then I’d say it’s worth the extra work it takes. I’m just doubtful I’ll make that 14 gram per plant number. I’d say closer to an average of 9 to 10 grams per plant is more in my ballpark. Still productive, but probably not worth it to me.
