you ever thought about using co2 in ya tent

The thought has never even crossed my mind.

The trouble is i've been changing at least one component of the setup every run and also running different strains each time, so I don't think I've got close to the potential of what I can get out of a tent yet.

i just bought some PBxFS can't wait to start ill be trying it in a hempy bucket tho.

1000 watt hps

can't wait to see them pics either.

Hey Peter, PB x FS is a dwarf type AF SOG plant, little branching with a large central cola, not really something designed for 5 gallon Hempy bucket.

What size of Hempy are you going to be putting them in? And how many do you plan to put under that 1000wtr?

Hey sgs, i plan on putting the pink salad in 2 litre hempy's not sure yet of my tent dimensions
but i at least plan on having 5'x5'x6' and however many i can fit in there. Do you think 2 liter would be fine or would i need maybe three liters?

Two litre soda bottles or something around that size will do the trick for ya Peter. The deeper the better with autoflowers, bro.

Under that 1000W HPS really dont think 2 ltrs will keep them from drying out to fast. Would go with at least 1 gallon with a Hempy Hole 3 inches from the bottom increasing the res. that will be find for the size of PB x FS too for spacing.

Day 24 - mini update

Had them out earlier for their daily check.

Had a little count of coloured pheno's 8 out of 21 at the moment, but it's still early, should have a better idea by around day 35.

 

[PeterGriffin843]

Is there supposed to be any pictures cause i can't see them.

 

[mitch_connor]

I will take some pictures tomorrow. The above was just a little note I wrote rather than a proper update

 

[mitch_connor]

Sorry for the delay, but as promised here is an update of the FSxPB

Day 27 from sprout, so far so good really..

They are flowering away nicely now, hopefully have them down around 60 days.

Average height around 30cm.

I'm not really giving these much attention, just letting them do their thing.

Any questions feel free..

Cheers, mitch

 

[Big Eggy]

Just out of interest.. When was the last time you ran regs? Looking good btw!

 

[uptosumpn]

lookin wicked there mi friend!!!!! Cant wait till I start mines???? still deciding on location ..

 

[mitch_connor]

Eggy - I haven't ran anything regular for around 2 years now, As I only had a single dedicated space until recently. But I will be soon now I have 2 tents. Have loads of strains I've been wanting to run for ages so will be exciting.

UTS - Thanks man, wish I had started more of these! Getting to the fun part now.

Cheers, Mitch

 

[PeterGriffin843]

Do you know the color ratio of them yet?

 

[mitch_connor]

I haven't counted again yet, I had 8 out of 21 when I checked on day 24.

When I grew out both the individual parent strains I think from memory it was around 70% coloured.

The ones with the strongest colouring are easy to spot early on, but more subtle colours will no doubt come out in time for some of the others.

In around a week I will do another count and see what we have.

 

[SGS]

Great Update Mitch, seems you are getting some early showing colors, the ones that show the most colors and shades are the plants that show color around day 35-40, you will see what talking about.

Just a couple of a few of the Secret Citrus @ day 59.

I'm still having problems with fungus gnats, I tried watering with Nematodes but they are still there. I maybe see one adult flying around, but still seeing little critters on the tray every morning, I hope it isn't having too much of an adverse affect on the plants

1st plant has recently been knocked up, so fingers crossed for new seeds due late next month.

 

[paulo73]

Precious my friend.
They look healthy enough so don´t stress too much with the gnats.
Good luck with the seeds

Thanks Paulo.
