sorry for the lack of updates. I've been busy with midterms all week. stay tuned for updates this weekend including back photos and current! Im going to try and get the flowering cab finished next week. These Sour-Boggles all have the tightest half inch consistently spaced internodes with lateral growth stretching from the apical stem...these girls are going to buy DENSE!!!!
Sorry for the delay guys...midterms have kept me busy! to fill you in on the details i really need a fan suggestion for the flowering cab. if i go with a standard panasonic whisper fan 150cfm placed on top of the cab...how can i connect it too a cool tube?? would the only way be using an inline whisper fan??
its been about two weeks since you all have seen the plants. The colors were beginning to lighten from the dark green so i added a bit of light nutrient feed...half strength FF grow big with a tea spoon of mollasses. (this was feed only to those that were a month + of age from seed). Both sativas got FRIED...i dont know how, but being that they are unknowns, this is the nature and fun of the game. I flushed them well and they have recovered fine....all are ready to be cloned. im on SB so i need to finish this cab, but i need that question above answered first so i know what to use too cool down my 250 HPS in a cooltube while being quiet.
on to the pictures from oldest to most recent:

Got my vortex fan in like i was recommended today! It looks like a HUGE turbo and i expected it to be louder then a jet...fortunately this beaute pushes air...SILENTLY! i almost dont even need the speed control...but im glad i have that! soooo happy i didnt spend more then double on an intricate whisper fan...i think this will keep the 250 cool for sure!
Glad to hear that BT.
Have a nice spring break.

Little update for everyone. I've been feeding a light feeding regiment long with a teaspoon per gallon of epsom salt for increasing Mg and S.
my unknown sativas (i was told it was a blue dream cross)...no idea how reputable that is...came from a bag of really good seeded bag seed which is why i grew it...i figured if it has as kiefy as it was seeded then i couldn't imagine if it were grown sinsemilla...the stems are starting to purple (genetics)...all opinions welcome.
also take notice, with the fan i have blowing on them, there stems are SUPER strong. i started a little bit of stem destruction (pinching a portion of the stem and rolling it in between the fingers in order to crush the inner stem...as a result the stem rebuilds much like a muscle does and repairs/grows stronger and thicker then before.) Maybe coincidence, but i notice the site around stem pinching tends to explode in branchy growth from all the energy going in to repair the area. anyways, keep a look out in the picks...a few appear to have a gap in the middle of the stem...like two parallel portions.

My flowering cab is all complete aside from some final touches, and it needs a carbon scrubber and further light proofing....but MAN its as bright as the sun, that 250 in there! i still need to add the scrubber...but with NOTHING in the cab in direct light (walls are flat matte ultra white...i have mylar, but figured thats over kill and would fry them) the temp red right around 84-85....i will be adding a circulating wall fan inside and once all sealed up im hoping it cools further down. TONS of suctions from the cool tube...like a vacuum no joke. the pyrex-bake-around dish is warm but no issue holding on too it. do you think those temps will give me issues? really need to get my girls transplanted and in there!
pictures tomorrow!=)

Heres a picture of everything (Sour Bubbles, Sour Boggles, 2 Unknowns) being switched to the flower cab, having been repotted into 3 gal square pots, and a few smaller ones.
The Big Purple unknown #1 turned out to be a male. both unknowns showed distinct fully developed Preflowers.
Purple unknown Sativa #1=Male...Huge Pollen Sac Developed along with other little balls
Purple Sativa Unknown #2= huge swollen calyx preflowers with long white hairs.
the male:
Had to Cull it, even tho it had BEAUTIFUL Coloring!
anyways check out the root structure formed in the 2L soda container. I sprinkled Mycorrhizae onto the roots/soil and i have been MOST impressed with how vigorous everything up top grows as well as the roots below!
