She even looks nice hanging solo!
 
Yeah @NickHardy, except I can’t start another plant right now. I have nowhere to grow it. I thought you were just looking for opinions on what strain to grow and that YOU were going to do the comparison for all of us. You can do Sombrero as easily and well as me. But as you know and see, I enjoy those collaborative and interactive growing and comparing dealies. As soon as I move I’ll be rocking 6 tents. I’m sure we can do something more directly in there somewhere. Cool? Sorry if I was unclear, didn’t mean to lead you astray - just a natural communication breakdown.
Yes for sure mate - I’m going to grow one of my Slurri’s Sombrero style (with not a little of your help please!) and one some other style just for pretty/yield. See what we get!

@Azimuth sorry just reading back - yeah it was a stop gap - turned off one of the lights. Removed from the outer tray and put on cardboard. I want some moisture gone out the soil. Damper than I want. Though about cutting open a couple of silica bags and spriinkling them like a perlite top but that’s probably crazy talk.

Nic ((not walking downstairs again tonight! - took one photo and realised it wasn’t where ai really wanted it)

Def killed one to 95% certainty.

Middle bottom. Royal Gorilla. Pretty sure its the one i dropped out the tweezers and picked up with fingers hurting it (I appreciate I didn’t mention this but was busy)

Anything I’m happy with has a sprinkled of coco on top the potting soil.

Still worried about dampness. The purest indica - I see life from 2/3 for sure. But added a little perlite. Still worried about too much moisture for them. Reckon 7.5/11 ignition sequence complete. Its as high as 10/11 or as low as 6/10 i’d be seems right. Too much moisture snd should have treated rhem differently snd with more attention (although the ones with leaves in paper are all cool) we got plenty of first true leaves there.

Anyway.

More real work.

See what’s there in the morning with lights out - colour is horrible in the first. Under flash below.

Added a little more food via the spare now empty pot. Like dunno a SIP hole. Maybe some of them want it.

Too wet on the top can lead to damping off, but that can be countered with a sprinkle of worm castings.
Not a soil grower no worm castings to hand.

Up potting 7 later.

Will leave the 3 Wedding Crashers for now but can’t see them living. Less the one Gorilla I killed by clumsy.

Killed the twisted sisters as well. They’re in window for the more sativa style.

Some root ball off them.

Oh no. You need a change of fortune. I hope things go your way. Is that all because you've been day job busy?
What’s gone wrong?!

I’m super busy yes! Killed a seedling with fat fingers and had three not get to ignition - but maybe they will 😂 But they were packaged differently and just seems weird all three would be my fault.

You said you killed the twisted sisters and I misunderstood. It was the run of bad luck with the seedlings starting and then I thought you nuked the plants you actually harvested. Sorry :hippy:
 
Nah - they were a distraction and got a 25,000 baht ($710USD) electricity bill this morning in a “fallow” grow period while we rebuild the flower room so decided to chop them and switch off the last light, AC, Inline and Dehumidifier for a week and tell my self I’m keen to try 20g of more Sativa like Indy. 😂

The three seeds I’m good enough now 3/3 failure is not necessarily me. Happens though. They’re not being very generous even though they seem unsurprised.

Still bought 3 more Royal Cookies decide what’s going to replace the Wedding Crasher. I mean clones are always an option. The only ones I’m really stressed about popping are the Slurricane. I only have two and don’t know the breeder. Be gutted to not get 2/2 on them.

They’re from Anesia Seeds bought via SC in the UK. They were freebies because an order went a bit wrong and they hooked me up knowing I was interested in a particular S1 Slurri. Didn’t have a clue until they arrived. Class move.

Here’s some deets on them.

Slurricane

Slurricane was created by crossing two first-class trend varieties: a Nor-Cal-Cut of Do-Si-Dos was crossed with an extremely potent and long-selected Purple Punch. The result is an outstanding Indica dominant hybrid with an extremely high THC content and a complex terpene profile.

Slurricane is currently one of the most popular strains in the United States. We became aware of the genetics early on and got down to work to get the best out of it and bring the strain to its limit. Anesia ‘s Slurricane is currently one of the strongest cannabis strains in the world and can produce an incredible THC level of up to 30%. Its resin production is gigantic and the aroma is simply stunning.

The plants from the Slurrican seeds are easy to cultivate, grow quickly and vigorously. With sufficient light, the plants develop into real gems that leave nothing to be desired. Within the flowering period of 64 days, the variety forms very dense and compact flowers that have an oversized resin production. The buds are covered with a glittering thick layer of resin.

The aroma is intensely fruity and sweet like berries with a fresh citrus note. Not only its taste becomes an unforgettable experience. The high offers an amazing potency, with strong physical and cerebral effects. Slurricane is a knock-out strain and the effects last long and create happiness. It will bring your body to complete relaxation and envelop you in a warm cloud, while at the same time creating positive feelings that bring all your senses to a higher level.

The thick, dense buds carry a very unique und tasty trichome covering that make them ideal for producing cannabis concentrates.

That makes more sense. I'm glad it's on a good track then :) You know how to sprout seeds, your Slurricane will be fine! no pressure lol
 
I said to @Jon we’d do a head to head training thing on the Slurricanes.

So there is massive pressure. He keeps sending me messages offering huge bets and stuff…

We’re in talks with DAZN (the boxing network) on a plant training live streaming event.

😆😆😆

Nah but Jon picked this strain for the colab grow bit and not easy to replace so want them. Gonna do wave 3 when I got my game face on.

The 7 seem pretty good. The straggling Royal Gorilla seem to be upping pace. That’s going in the airpot, orher one can go in the SIP Does look a little over watered though.

Fed some into the outer swicks, all but one was dry so some sort of capillary action seems to have started. Its unlikely to evaporation given the room metrics today. Cool at 25c and low Rh at 63% plus the coco is still damp.

So added another couple of lights.

Popping the next wave tomorrow.

So…Solo swicks to SIPs with an AirPot tossed in the mix? Sweet. And those are T-5 bars?
 
Yep 9w daisy chainable to 10. I think. 10 year life, IP65 or something (good!) waterproof and to you, Sir, from HomePro - $4USD a full paired set. Plug, joining power cable - Japanese allegedly. HomePro is what you’d imagine. Power tools and stuff. Big place.
 
O lh yeah nit sure whatbamhappens with the three SIPs - the 15 airpots go into their final homes then in hydro for a few days.

I had enough airpots made for the solos for them to get that stage as well. I guess i keep them smaller (sane size as the inner clear pots) as when I up pot again there is less volume as the res takes some up.

Its slightly imperfect as the SIP style has an extra repot but probably the fairest way.

So:

Potting Soli
Coco Peat SWICK
Airpot dropped in Hydro Bath
15x stay like that under lights.
3x repotted to Solo Sips under lights.

There’s one more step for the SIPS. i thought about dropping the SIPS in the hydro but the overflow will just clog for ever in two days 🤣 Trust me!

They’re thirsty for sure. Had about 20ml in each before the outer solo cup perlite started floating again (and were dry on top) - floating perlite, floats in epoxy as well in case you’re wondering 😂

Flicked the grow lights off and took some flash pictures. The Baby Gorilla is still a baby - but that included all seem to have their second set of true leaves. The Baby G (Sorry Casio) does have the tiniest little ones.

All cool. No popping today. RQS messing me around and not even shipped after 48 hours. Not very happy but hey. I know I can have in paper for at least a day less the next batch 😂

Azi - I’m all over the Baby G - its airpot for her. You can have the bigger girl!

They’re a bit stretchy. might work on some elevation tomorrow.

Relaxed about them and their short/mid term futures. The move to craxy lights. That’s more of a concern.

You make me laugh hard Nick :laugh:
Congrats on your beautiful babies. They are looking good.
