Full indoor flower regime way much better, day 32 of flower, look as good as the first round of kush did when it finished. Again, I cant wait to redo the kush in bigger shoes and all indoor. I cleared out floor space in the veg room and donated TH seed comp. clones, nothing against their stuff it all appears healthy at day 32 but Im snobbing for the hindu kush. The kush is really mellow, relaxing, muchies, sleepy but cotton mouth. I will say the TH seed sage and sour has a really great nose early. Worst case I find one that is really desirable Ill reveg it if I have to. Some of the plants that I started to reveg are already getting those mutant smooth leaves during the process which looks like its showing signs of relight! smile here, as it will be good to see healthy colas from those plants and done better. Im checking the flower plants daily for herms, no more signs but a couple swollen seed calyx's discovered, Im hoping I got most of them pulled early enough in flower that the pollination will be light. Im moving the flower containers by row and rotating each container 180 degrees daily so the plants are getting good sun balance as the little bit of labor appears to be helping. Im guesstimating that the the kush plants Im trying to relight to veg mode from harvest will take another 2 weeks to make the switch to the point that new vegetative growth is visible, another 6 weeks to get it to the point where I can get the number of healthy cuts desired from, another 2 weeks to clone, and then another 4 weeks to get it to healthy preflower size. I plan with a small buffer of time in mind and would lean towards four more months provided all goes well, before I can turn the kush plants again the way I would like to. ramble ramble

day 36, things moving along nicely. Hung two more lamps as the veg room is filling out with plants in 3 gal containers. Im going to keep topping and training until St. Patties day then flowering the next round, that way the room is full of plants that started on the same day. Gives me a little bit more than a month to continue veg and Im hoping that we will be big and hearty by then. Last pic is last bit of trimming from first round.

Brewing up my first tea ever, using insect frass, sugar, diamond nectar, and bio marine, hoping for a nice frothy fungal and bacterial batch. I like organics and after only a single harvest I can see where its worth its weight in gold in terms of taste, very smooth and absolutely no harshyness. However, after this run I am switching back to flora series and maybe even bubble buckets in the future, not sure yet, want to play with this coco a lil more.
Day 41, cheated and used some kool bloom in attempt to encourage fatter fruit. Should start seeing some bulking up this next couple weeks.
veg room is coming along nicely, seems that I can tie them down lst then within two days they are allready stress recovered with the third night new shoots springing up. Had a lopsided growing plant that I put on the outside of the light foot print with the low side in, that plant grew out evenly in just a couple light cycles.

local cross pheno #47 @ day 42, typically 9 weeker
this and the darkstar were about 10 inch tall from seed, topped once, and transplanted from a twenty ounce solo cup to a one gal then flowered in sog. If I was going to live on sog I would diffenently stay single cola and trim away to the shoulders. Years ago when I was really green more than now, I lost a ghs white rhino pheno that grew short with pineapple size colas (had no idea how to clone or reveg), that would of been a queen for single cola sog. I perfer and have been thinking about going back to growing fast bushes with dwc. So so explosive fast
Temps in the veg room see 83 degrees for last 3 hours of 18 hour cycle due to it warming up outside in the afternoon, so the three gals are sucking down water, which is fine because Im gonna hit them with water every third night so ill be feeding more. so hopefully more growth. Im pissed at myself for prematurely taking a big top branch off a plant because I split it to far and thought it would die, when actually another plant that was split worse is thriving alive. Its amazing to see what cannabis can survive, while the remaining vegetative matter from the branch removed plant absorbed its missing parts root energy and beefed way out in new shoots. The veg room looks like crap the day after training, everything tied down and stressed but it seems that by the third night they are ready for another training event. Will be good to see bigger bucket, bigger plants, flowered out in density.

Sure I was not astute to the forums catergories, I was kinda keeping this as good mental notes because the only other notes I keep are feed days on a calender and the one inch squares dont leave me enough room to keep foot notes. If you want I can ask it get moved to coco coir
well wait.... is promix considered coco coir?

before and after lst pics in veg...
Combination of some tieing down and pinching, the picture angle widened to get all of the plants in the picture frame after training. A couple of the kush phenos dont like the lst and seem to do alot better with toppings, the white skunk looks to be all sativa and loves the restraint, possibly it will be a good producer. I have about a third of the room to go to fill it in with just a little over 3 weeks of veg time to go, I hope to be filled out and then have a atleast a week of top growing before flipping. I am assuming that one 10 x 9 room filled out in veg will finish in two rooms that are the same size? The sativa looks like she might be a stretchy girl and will meet that challenge, time will tell. Im drilling holes in the rim of the buckets and using garden twine to tie down limbs.

TH seed akorn, aka snowbud, advertised as 55 to 60 days this is at 46, what it makes up for in smaller yield it does go fast, pistils are 30% withered and more along than any other seed plant I have going. Its sticky but the nose is neutral, I kept a kush pheno that is just as quick and bigger producer so unless this strain does alot in next 10 days it will not be kept. However I difenently plan on reveggin their darkstar and possibly the sage n sour.

day 58 around the garden
I typically don't like to wet trim plants to this degree with as much maturation left to go out from harvest, but everyone including myself prefers tight nugs. By trimming in stages its easier for me to get a closer trim without getting burned out, and leaving a shoddy trim job. While Im going to water flush tonight and allow 2 more days light under 12/12, then Im leaving them in complete dark for a couple days at about 60 degrees while still attached. Rumor is that the total darkness boosts the psychoactive properties of the plant before cutting it down. The idea is to mimic cold sustained night time temps of the fall season associated during outdoor harvest, supposedly the plant makes more oil to protect itself sensing its going into winter, and getting ready to die. The second theory is by leaving the plant in the dark, still attached, the food stays in the root zone because there is no more photosynthesis or pumping of nutrients, this coupled with an organic run and flush should hopefully provide for a really smooth taste. Again, rumor has it
There were 48 plants in this sog, estimating some plants being an ounce or more size and a few leaning on the half z side, fair interpolation based on a plant avg of 18 g per site, under two lamps, would be way way ok, with some much needed work to go. Seed plants flowered less than 10 inchs tall and topped once. Ehhh.... IMHO the way to go is bigger and fewer plants, just longer veg. If you want the yield friends you have to put the time, electricity $, nutrient $, and effort into growing stronger plants before flipping, you will be rewarded in the end, opinion ends here.

The first picture is day 1 of the flower sog, 48 plants 10 inchs tall avg some still in 20 oz styrofoam cups under one lamp in comparison to rest of pics which are day 58 flower, same plants but all transplanted to 1 gal containers and under two lamps, pretty much trimed to cola leaves.
The last two pictures are the veg room, down to the final 18 to 24 inchs of lateral room to fill it out to the wall, may exercise some patience and postpone flipping those plants on St. Patties Day. Thats two 1000s, one mh and one hps in a large reflector, its lighting up that 10 x 9 room no problem and veggin them 20 or so plants in 5 gals at an acceptable rate, with the perimeter plants growing as good as the under beam plants. I am using three corner fans in an attempt to mix the light spectrums of the different bulbs around the room.... that was a joke, ha ha, not funny

just started flora series 3 part tonight, need to get a digi meter for ph. I use the dye color table system, seems to work, but I have been instructed to be more concise with ph, so I will try it. This image is the veg room a couple of days ago, the current harvest has me distracted and neglecting the veg room, need to get in there and do some training and cutting. I wish I would of held on to some of those th seed clones that I parted with, they sure did come out nice.

Took some cuts from 3 kush plants, currently under 2 cfls in ziplocks so they can root. Turkey bagging a portion of the last run which turned out delicious. Installing a new 100 gal a day ro system, and wired up both rooms for flowering. Going to start another flower schedule next week with bigger plants in 3 gals.

Flower rooms one & two on day 1, will even out both rooms with stretch.
Small veg in last pic, with one dwc bucket. Will continue to add lights in veg as needed.
I hope to get a couple ounces of meds out of this third run
