Hola

This will be my 2nd "project" and needless to say I have been pretty excited to get it rolling. After a mixup in the packaging department, my seeds finally arrived on 3/23. 5 of the 10 were placed in water to soak for 24 hours, then directly into 9oz cups of Coco and placed under 156w of floros on 20/4 schedule. All 5 sprouted within 48 hours. Verrry Nice DG! After 7 days I put them under the 250w HPS, still 20/4 lighting. Theyre coming along nicely



Heres a rundown of my little setup
Growlab60 Tent (24in. x 24in. x 63in.)
250w HPS
250cfm Exhaust with Carbon scrubber
2x 6in. Fans

B'Cuzz Coco
GH Flora Nutrients per Rez's Forumula

Heres a shot of my setup, and my the cute little girlies from my first project



Heres a pic of one of the bag-seed testers I am growing out (she has some really nice purpling in her stems). She was started in a 16oz cup of Coco, fed just pH'd water for 2 weeks, and misted with a light dose of some Technaflora B-1 Red. After 2 weeks she started on 1/3 strength GH nutrients, pH'd to ~5.8.



After 2 weeks I transplanted her in this nifty little pot I found at Wal-mart. Its supposed to be self-watering, but if anything it will make dumping runoff easier and aerate the bottom of the pot. I put a 1-2 inch layer of perlite on the bottom, then filled with coco. Still not sure if I will use these as final pots.





I am really hoping to find a standout pheno in this bunch, wish me luck!

And thanks again DG, I am seriously so excited!

cheers!

Looking like a nice, little, clean setup. Looks like many good things are yet to come. Good luck, and I will be watching this one.

Yes, nice setup. Thank you for starting your thread here, and I look forward to following this along! I feel your excitement!

Considering my space limitations, and the other beans I have going, I am wondering how early I should flower them. My main goal is to find between 2 and 4 keeper phenos this round to take cuts from, and focus on yield after. I only have around 3 feet of total vertical grow space. Any estimates on the stretch?

I'd post some pics but not much has happened, still working on the 2nd set of leaves

cheers,

Same setup over here, don't you just love the way a 250 fits in that tent?
You can pull awesome GPW #'s in it with 5 or 6.

I hope whatever problem you had in the shipping department was the same thing they're having me go through, I was stoked to get some sweetest cindy, but they could be lost in the tangled web that is royal mail.

Dankside,
My order's status was never changed from "In Packaging Department" to "Order Shipped in Full". I inquired about it, and SB staff was not sure whether or not it did actually ship, so they simply resent it. What does it say in your account on the Sboo website? Thats how I checked my orders status.

Regarding the tent. I really do like the way the 250 worked during the winter. Temps reached the upper 70's F, and my tents temps have been staying steady at 85F. I just changed my lighting from 20/4 to 18/6 in hopes of rendering this problem a bit. Summer might make things a bit tricky this time around. Hopefully these youngins' will hold up well under possible high temps.

Anyways, Gl to ya man with your seeds
cheers

So they're at 12 days from germination, and they look pretty good so far. I have been having some heat issues, which i think may be causing some discoloration on the undersides of the leaves? I gave them their first feeding of GH Micro/Bloom at 2.5ml/3.75ml per gallon, pH'd at 5.4. If anything drastic happens, ya'll will be hearin from me in the morning



Time for a nice little session with the roomates before bet, night all!


cheers

All the plants took well to the feeding, and DG's are still the most vigorous of everything I have going. I am majorly overgrowing my tent at the moment, and am going to have to repot soon. Need to separate the males from the females as quickly as possible to figure out if i'll have to reveg. Was thinking of throwing them into flower at around 21days from sprout, probably 4th or 5th set of leaves. Thoughts?

cheers

It sure makes me smile to read nice comments. Thank you!

Sure, you could sex them by giving a bit of flw time...or....you could take a clone from each, get them quickly rooted, and put the clones in flw just to determine sex....but be sure to mark each clone to match up to your original plant (that would still be in veg). Also, changing your veg schedule to 18/6 might get some of the ladies hiding in there to drop their nickers and expose themselves.

Thanks! Hoping you have lots of females showing soon!

I would discourage flowering under 12/12 until they show sex and are "sexually mature", I don't know about yours but most Sweet Tooth and crosses will show sex at about a month or so old, at least the males will and a few early females normally. I guess it is also influenced by light, temps, conditons, etc. I say top them at 4th or 5th node and let them branch out though man! Another thing, Sweet Tooth crosses need alot of rootspace and get rootbound quite fast due to big root systems and will start showing various signs of deficiences from it if allowed to start circling in the pot so I would definitely repot asap and top them at the same time because there will be a growth explosion shortly thereafter.
