Hello persons.
so I was running a perpetual cycle, and my clones werent rooting, so I panicked and popped literally all my seeds I have acquired to keep on my perpetual cycle. Well halfway through the bloom I saw that powdery mildew had come back full force from before, I had done a lot to battle it and thought I was in the clear. Not so much, so I decided I needed to shut down, and have a chance to kill spores and cure the plants. I had close to 100 plants in my veg room. I literally killed all extra plants so I only had a single phenotype of each. I then also got thrips on top of the pm, so while treating that I killed a few phenos (that I had previously killed the extras/clones/backups already). So as you can see this is the shit show you will witness.
To top this off, I went on vacay for 1 months so I turned the 630cmh veg light down to 420W and got my friend to water them only.
I got back to a bunch of lanky ass plants, but at least was able to sex them all.
I had 20 ish males and am flowering them out to get pollen, and then I will store this, and pollinate various branches of all plants in bloom.
Just have a 1000 watt HPS turned down to 500 watts.
I am making seeds out of these crosses because I did so much research and spent over 1k on these seeds, and want to really get to know them versus just flowering once and thats it. Since I am shutting down for a few years I will not keep my fave moms of each strain which was the previous plan.
ok this is where we are at now, I have cut back the first batch of plants, took cuttings from all the lanky top growth I removed ( i like short stocky plants)
will reveg for 2-3 weeks while the clones root, and BAM into flower, rinse and repeat with the next 8 plants. ( Ive got about 60 females I figure)
This is before I left ! so if you want to know what 1 month of veg with 420 watts on 18/6 on 100 plants look like there ya have it
