Bench - Pressed For Space grow

wow that casey jones x cdsd is a beast!

Hey greenmango! How's it going bro? :tiphat:

Should be quite a monstrously skull crushing effect in those buds, given her pedigree. :yes:

The NYCD x CDSD is very similar. A few inches shorter but it has several colas that are as large as the biggest cola on that CJ x CDSD. It's a pain to move them but I'll post some pics of each at harvest... natch ;)

You bet GM. I'll update with the progress of the outdoor plants once they've well shaken off their shells.

Edit on July 30: Here are pics taken July 29th to inject lots of fresh air into an otherwise cramped place.

Buddy's taking proper care of them.

First 4 are OG Kush x Blue Streak which are impressively uniform.

Last pic is Lasqueti Haze x NLHaze/TimewarpC99

Will try to get harvest pics too of course.

Meanwhile, back indoors...

Here's a crappy phone pic of the first week of 12/12 in my 4x4 tent
It contains Lucifer OG f2, ECSD, Chemdawg 4, Bubba Kush, Grandaddy Purple and OG Chem.

All in 10 gallons of coco/perlite, under a 940 watt Hortilux & fed the 5 part Earth Juice line.

Still vegging in the other room are MeltingPOT's 3-Way Dawg, Calizahr, Grom bx1, Tropical Toof, Venus, Bogglegum & a Trip x Blueberry male.

Thanks for peeking in and overlooking the imperfections, of which there are many ;)

:respect:

Well, I better put up a pic of the few plants that managed to survive my horti torture this year.
More pics will come by harvest (late Oct to mid Nov).
It's too tight in the tent for good pic taking and I'm not chancing breaking any of these bitches this late in the game.

The 4x4 tent is packed with one each of these strains.

Lucifer OG f2 - She didn't like the extreme salt content of the bargain coir I threw her in, but I took a grip of clones that I'm raising pet mites on atm. This girl will yield less than an ounce.. LOL! But I'm gonna get my game on next cycle.

Sour Diesel
(East Coast.. from Dr. Greenthumb S1 seed). Seems like a moderate to low yielder but is only starting to show tell-tale signs of what the ecsd traits I've viewed online.

Chemdawg 4 (from Dr. Greenthumb S1 seed) - Looks like she'll fill in but will be one of the later finishers.

Bubba Kush (Katsu cut from Dr. Greenthumb S1 seed) - I don't know if there it's a different pheno than what I've seen online or if they sent me the wrong seeds but I don't see any fat leaves at all on this one.

OG Chem (Connoisseur) - This gal is easy, stinky, greasy and fat... No not talking about an ex-gf this time. ;)

Grandaddy Purple (Connoisseur - S1) - She's at the head of the class. Got highest hopes on this one this run. Looks to be dank and yielding like a mofo.

I have a few others in another tent that just got switched to 12/12 a week ago:
Grom BX1 (2 girls)
Venus
Tropical Tooth
3-Way Dawg.

..and in veg:
Biker Kush V2.0
Ghostrider V2.0

I'll update these after harvesting the first list of plants.

Next, I''ll get to mixing hydrogen with oxygen and adding it to some Stank Bros, OG Raskel & Top Dog & other old beans I've held on to for too long.

Here's a phone pic of the 4x4 as of today. :ying:

Wommy, you know how this obsession goes. It's a pleasure simply caressing the seed packet somedays. :bigeye: :look at this: :crazy:

Not suprisingly, I woke up today regretting I didn't pop all seeds from a few packs instead of one or two of 20 or so strains.

Now they're soaking so :deadhorse:

Thanks Dr. Fred. Welcome to ICMag.
Although I've got lots of dank seeds I envy growers who have ample space to do their genetics justice.
Just a bit short in that respect over here currently.

Wish I could do justice to these girls with the cheapo camera on hand.

Here's the best I can muster at the moment.

Bloom tent is just too densely packed to get any decent close ups of them other than one or 2 buds closest to the tent's opening.
Lucifer OG F2, ecsd, Chem4, Bubba Kush, Grandaddy Purple & OG Chem.

Grandaddy Purple

The veg tent - Grom BX1, Venus, 3 Way Dawg and Tropical Tooth

3 Way Dawg by MeltingPOT (Chemdog#4 x Tres Sister) at 10 days of 12/12

Lots of clones: Lucifer OG f2, ecsd, chem4, OG Chem.

I've also got Karma's testers (Biker Kush V2.0 & Ghostrider OG V2.0) vegging.

Temps have dropped significantly over the past few weeks. It's just one more level of stress my garden will endure to make sure the plants are worthy of my torturous ways. LOL!

Thanks Vhghost. :)

Hope I'll figure out how to capture colors better with my camera.

I'm using a Hortilux 940 watt Conversion Bulb. That may be why the colors seem to be heavy on the blues in the above pics.

oh my days bench,you're rammed in there!....:respect: absolute funk coming out of that tent soon.

be awesome to see some lights off pics that GDP looks lovely bro,i have never had the pleasure of her so it'd be good to see what you think,to be honest i've only heard good stuff :biggrin:

Slight pic improvement. :)

@ 8 weeks in - Left to right: Chemdog4, OG Chem & GDP peeking in from the right.
Lucifer OG f2 looking frazzled in the rear left.
Bubba Kush & Sour Diesel are obscured altogether.
I managed to get half decent pics of the GDP and one of the Sour D.

Could've hit these with photshop but wanted to keep it real.

Cheers medmaker420. :wave:

Maybe not a gram per watt this cycle but I'm happy with how these girls are turning out.

I think the 940 watt conversion bulb positively affected the yield.
