Another pretty decent defoliation with tonight's watering. They are all waist high or so, and now have a bit more room to transpire without drenching their neighbors. If I can get an oz or more from each (which should be pretty easy), I can hit a pound for the first time in one run in the 4x4 I've come pretty close, but always end up just shy like 13-15 and change. I always put quality ahead of quantity, so as long as its good the numbers don't matter as much. Then to whittle down the winner(s)! There are a couple that I couldn't get cloned, but I will keep trying. I'm having a real bear of a summer cloning for some reason. It could be the 40 degree temperature swings every day, or the humidity that goes from 45-100% a few times a week. Everything gets torn apart and sterilized, and even the neoprene pucks were replaced. I'm going to take some temp readings and maybe adjust the cycle timer accordingly. Pretty much stabbing in the dark at this point, everything seems as it should.... I'll get back to you guys with the temp, and maybe we can crack this thing. It's been a real ball-bag.

Looks goos :good:

good work

I have had better luck switching to peat moss plugs in the summer. The aeroponic usually does fine but every once in a while it sets me back in the summer. Just make sure you squeeze the plugs out and use the little compartmentalized insert in the tray and a dome for the first week.They don’t take off quite as fast as the aeroponic cuts after they are potted but it’s 100% with no inputs or effort.
You got them looking ready to take off. Best of luck. I found a few special ones in the flashbang, super greasy and dense. Best of luck to you sir.

Thanks for the feedback fellas, I will grab some peat pucks next run to town, IMC. I've always had pretty decent luck, with those, straight coco and the rockwool macro plugs. I have a nephew coming over, so I didn't get time to take the rez temp on the cloner. I'd imagine it's high, and will try a few different mediums with traditional style cloning.

I have A HLG 320. I mixed the spectrum using 2 3k boards, 1 4k board. I haven't used mine much

OrgAeroMan · Jul 28, 2020

I love mine, I've only had the Rspec, but the results were better than my mh/hps runs. About the same weight the first time, but way denser and seemingly more trichs and terps. I think the 660nm red help out quite a bit for yield. When you get them dialed they are unbelievable. All of my yields have gone up since the first run with them last year. From ~14g/ 5"x5" pot to over 30g for some, with most coming in at about 21-25g!

I fed and watered the girls today, still no real problems to speak of. That makes me nervous, lol! There is one (second from the left, front) that I think I might have overwatered, but I think she will spring back. I haven't given her any water in a couple days. Take a closer look if you'd like, and tell me what you guys think. The leaves are a little taco-ed and look a bit K def, which lead me to think light stress, but the container was still pretty heavy today after little to no water. I'll let her dry up and see if it helps.

I got a few that have great node spacing. They look great

OrgAeroMan · Aug 4, 2020

Looks good, Hammer! I don't have the frost yet, but it'll be soon

There are a few that will have some 12"+ colas if I do my part. There are a couple stretchers that have doubled, but most have gained maybe 1/3 in height since the flip. I'm getting some (good) pukey terps from most stem rubs, and some lemon from one. Pheno "A" being the strongest puke, and "F" being the lemony one. These often change, so I'll just keep them in the back of my mind, lol!

Different plants

Hammerhead · Aug 9, 2020

2 more smaller different plants. These 2 did not stretch much. Still pretty short.

OrgAeroMan · Aug 9, 2020

Nice looking plants, Hammer! Did anyone else get these particular testers? They have been awesome from the get-go.

Here are mine after last night's defoliation. Looks like foot long colas all over the place

I found a few nuts on pheno C in both of my growrooms. Just the very bottom nodes on both, so I just removed them and let them keep going. If they spring up again, I will probably cull them. None on anything else so far, so probably stress or just a fluke. Either way, one out of twenty-two ain't bad!

Hammerhead · Aug 9, 2020

Im pretty sure its just us are testing this cross.

Hammerhead · Aug 14, 2020

Inspecting these today I found a small nanner cluster hiding close to the node. Only found the 1. Make sure you look good. I use a lighted magnifier. Nothing worse than a fully seeded run. out of my 6 I found 1 small nanner cluster. Depending on what you see Ill decide if these get released. There's not many of these .

OrgAeroMan · Aug 17, 2020

That was the only pheno with bonanzas, and they all got removed when I lollipopped. No trouble since.
Here were the girls last night, I forgot to upload pics! There are some with lemon notes with something else in the background I can't quite put my finger on... Kind of an incensey, perfumey musk, I guess. Those are the most interesting so far. Pheno Q smells kind of like chocolate. And there are a few that still haven't expressed notable terps. Still pretty early in the game to pic favorites, but I definitely have my eye on a few

Phenos J, D and P don't seem to like the light intensity and/or any sprays, so they will likely be dropped. I don't chase 'em, I replace 'em....

Get with the program or take a dirt nap, beeotch!
I found two main bud structures, long pistils with long colas, and short fat pistils with more compact
nugs. The lemon perfume ones are the longer pistil phenos , while the only short pistiled pheno expressing terps is the chocolate pheno Q. More on that to come, I'm sure.
Everything is still putting up with my antics, so that's good! 50%rh and 77 F!

Zomboy · Aug 17, 2020

Looking good. The nug shot looks nice

OrgAeroMan · Aug 17, 2020

Thanks man, that is one of the longer pistiled ladies, they are about 75/25% longer to shorter respectively.

OrgAeroMan · Aug 25, 2020

Here we are at 2 days into week 6. They got top dressed and their last defoliation. Looks and smells pretty promising

the shots are each plant and a bud of each. There is a lot of funky incense perfume going on, and they are starting to come into their own.

OrgAeroMan · Aug 25, 2020

More lovely ladies!

OrgAeroMan · Aug 25, 2020

Buds, and future donkey dicks! :headbange

OrgAeroMan · Aug 25, 2020

The last pheno's bud, and the canopy before and after defoliating. 2-3 more feeds, then it's cruise control
