Hey everyone, welcome! I thought it'd be a nice idea to show you guys all the stuff i have going on!

Garden Specifications:
Veg: 110 w PL-L 24" from HTG Supply - $70
Flower: 400 w HPS with batwing reflector from HTG Supply - $130

The strains i have in veg are as follows: esbe's ErdPurT x ARNE, viking x ARNE, and Apollo11 x ARNE. i have ONE of BENJI's ChemStars. I have 2 ecsd x ogkush bx1 that i was gifted by IDO. I have a mother and seedling of ASH (Afghan skunk x afghan haze) that i was gifted. I'll be popping a lot more in the future, as i'm now an official Hybrids From Hell tester! I'm stoked, thanks esbe!

In flower, i have my original motherplant of ErdPurT x ARNE, and two of her clones! I actually staggered it a little bit: i put the clones in about 2.5 weeks before i put the mother in. They are all in 5 gallon buckets.

oh yeah, and i take clones of EVERYTHING, but i don't have a good success rate! so occasionally you might see a plant and be like "wtf is that?" its probably one of my rare success stories! just a heads up lol

now to the pictures! i used to take pics with my camera phone but i got a LOT of complaints :noway: lol... how can someone take pictures of esbe's genes with a phone??? so i got a slightly better camera! its a Casio Exilim with 8.1 megapixels. I'm still trying to figure it out (i cant figure out why its so blurry when i zoom, and i'm trying to figure out the best settings) So far, i think the Tungsten filter looks best under the HPS and the Daylight Fluorescent looks best under the pl-l... anyway, on to the show: :joint:

this is the veg/clone/seedling area... notice the male that's not doing so good...i'm about to just clone the hell out of him and ditch the 'father'

here's the containers i clone with, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. i find that if i just leave it alone and don't mess with it all the time, it roots better..
picture.php


here is ChemStar and 2 ecsdxogkush seedlings. they were doing rough, but the new growth looks good. again, i'm probably just going to clone the hell out of all these and work with those!
picture.php


here are the nicest clones of ErdPurTxARNE...they will be my new mothers :abduct:
picture.php


here's 5 vikingxARNE and 5 apollo11xARNE...esbe said i'd have to watch out for herms in the viking cross, so yeah! sorry for the picture, i didnt feel like taking all the cups out
picture.php


these next 2 pics are of the ASH mother. A good buddy that is also on this site gifted me a pollenated ASH a couple of months ago! i harvested the seeds and tried to reveg her. she started showing new growth in less than 2 weeks, the fastest reveg i've ever had!

here is a seedling of ASH that my friend also gifted me! He's hoping for a boy, i'm hoping for another female lol
picture.php


and now onto flower..........

these are when i first threw the 2 clones in flower about 3 weeks ago. there's also a bagseed plant in there for sexing (turned out to be a male and was tossed)

and these are the newer updates with the mother in there! i took these pics yesterday. the bigger "Y-shaped" clone like immediately started flowering, zero stretch, just started packing on buds. the smaller one and the mother plant both started a mild stretch, but the smaller clone is catching up and starting to bud nicely too!

awesome Arctic bro! so happy you want to test some HFH stuff. i will be with you all they way! and there will be tons to test in the future as HFH seems to develop into a nice collective of good growers and breeders.

btw great, it looks like you have 2 arne dominated and 1 erdpurt dominated from erdpurt x arne

lol yes, that bowl was topped with kif! i smoked it after i transplanted them and put them under the hps! thanks for stoppin by StrainBrain! I'm going to pop some MrNice Shit and esbe's RocketChunk#1 next, think :)

hey esbe! yeah i'm super stoked about being your tester! And actually, those two clones in the first flower shots are from the same mother! and then i put that mother into flower about 3 weeks later! The big clone and the mother have had some SERIOUS training, i'll post up a history of that mother plant in a minute! thanks for tagging along!

yeah here's the episode of "This is Your Life" for ErdPurTxARNE mother

her modest beginnings: she's one of the ones in the mcdonald's cups. the other turned out to be a boy
picture.php


here's what she looked like flowering: she's the one in the small cup, to the immediate left of the 5 gallon bucket. in the second pic, she's the one that 'pops out' in the small cup
picture.php

picture.php


then i started to reveg her: out of all my outdoor last year, this one impressed me the most, and i only smoked a little of it. so i tried to reveg her. she's the one all the way on the right
picture.php

and her in all her revegging glory:

and where she sits now: after takings dozens of clones from her, and training the hell out of her, i thought that she should be flowered again, proper this time. she's in the white bucket
picture.php


and here's a pic for reference...sort of a before and after
picture.php


we'll see how nice she fattens up in the next few weeks

Thank you ErdPurT x ARNE, and "THAT WAS YOUR LIFE!"

I'm climbing on board, dude. Buds a plenty in here!

I'm looking at your veg flouros. You got 18" or so of height there? The light penetrations OK?

I know the clones me and IW have werent lookin so good either.. kinda wilted... but they are starting to look good, im hoping that they decided to take root...
so explain your process that u use, with the containers.. how does that work?

what's up guys??

Blimey- Yeah that cabinet is actually a 30"hx18"wx12"d ...turned on its side, lol. So the 'current' dimensions are 18"hx30"wx12"d. I love this light, and it has excellent penetration. I have stuff raised in the veg area so that i have an "even canopy", but when i did a massive seed starting run last year, i basically put this light about 6" over 45 solo cups with a little fan blowing on it. I'll see if i can find a pic in a minute!

KK- yeah i've been playing with a lot of different methods recently. the most success i've had is soaking a cut in rooting solution for a few minutes, then putting it into a rapid rooter that's not dripping wet, and putting it into a little gladware or rubbermaid container, and placing it on the "outskirts" of my light footprint. Ive been getting about 1 out of 3 to show roots. My real problem is when i actually transplant them and they aren't in the super humid container anymore... i'm still experimenting with that..

eddie.motherfucking.saw - what's happening dude? yeah i really really hope ASH clones easily! i'll do a flower run of like 10 ASH clones lol

take care guys!

yeah eddie.saw for real, its crazy! but i'm finally getting everything settled and ready, so it'll be great! and yeah i was originally going to just combine the outdoor with this thread, but it looks like things would get a little crowded, so i'll start another thread for that when the time comes!!

and yeah i still have a couple more methods of cloning i haven't tried yet, lol, so don't give up hope! i'm getting better and better every time haha
