Here are these girls at day 28. I'm hoping to get the scrog installed today and move the Gluebreath hybrid to the flowering tent.

Gluebreath x Pink Bazooka #1

Got the screen in and the Gluebreath into the flowering tent. I've got it set up with a bit of a curve in it to add some extra canopy space. I also trimmed any growth under the water rings so they'll focus on the upper branches. I've decided I'm going to leave them in the 1 gallon pots through flower for this run, so it may not explode in growth fast enough for my preference, and I may flip to 12/12 a bit before all the edges are filled in. Depending on my budget I may also add another light or two in this tent which will help speed that process up.

Clone 1 is on the left and clone 2 is on the right.

Great call on leaving them in the 1 gallon's. They won't need anything larger. I see you've got a little friend in their! awesome!

That's a nice little Scrog you got going. I'm interested to see how it fills out with that curve.

Couple updates for today.

Though I'd try my luck at some FastBuds seeds again and started 1 x Mexican Airlines and 1 x Six Shooter. Everything else I got from them in this batch either hasn't germinated or failed shortly thereafter. I started previous seeds from them in the same way and location as the rest of my seeds and have almost 100% germination success otherwise. That said, I've seen plenty of other people have luck with them, so I'll chuck that up to a bad batch - though I'm hoping these will make it.

Both reservoirs are now set up on the same timer and using the same air pump (two stones in each 5 gallon reservoir) and I've placed them in a large plastic bin to catch any unexpected leaks. I didn't get a chance to mount the power backplane, but I'll probably get it taken care of this next weekend.

I snagged a couple pictures of the Gluebreath x Pink Bazooka and Karmdown x Pink Bazooka plants I moved into the flowering tent the other day. I'm starting the week count today.

Gluebreath - needing some attention and training, but starting to bush out a bit after some topping last week. She was on the same reservoir as the Karmdown plants I have in my other tent and I think is just a bit underfed.

Both of the Critical Kush are up and ready to be backfilled with coco. The Buddha Autos (in the back) are also up and starting to show their first true set of leaves. They look healthy as far as I can tell.

Here's today's update on the Critical Kush. Second set of true leaves are coming in and looking happy. 11 days from germination.

A few things to share today.

Both of the Fastbuds seeds have popped and been moved to rockwool cubes and put in my humidity dome. Two of the Gluebreath clones I had taken were moved out of the dome to join my seedlings in the veg tent as they had started to develop a nice looking root structure.

The two Karmdown girls are doing ok- noticeably larger than my last update on them - not the fastest growers but I don't have much light on them right now. I've ordered another LED driver and some COBs with heatsinks to expand my light in here to a 500 Watt setup. Once everything gets delivered in a week or two, I'll get it installed and should see a nice jump in growth for these plants. This should get here just in time to help fill out the rest of the SCROG and give the plants an extra boost when they get flipped. It's really hard to fight the urge to put them into flower before the screen fills, but I know it'll be worth it once we get to harvest.

I was so certain the Karmdown #2 plant I had was throwing female pistils, I got ahead of myself before having it fully tested and today when I checked on the seed plant, I found what I believe are male reproductive parts. I'm assuming this is the case but I'm hoping someone here can verify that these are indeed male before I chuck this plant and tear the others out of my SCROG :(



Can anyone confirm? I've had hermied plants before that looked similar but I would hate to trash this one and find out later I just misread it. Feeling pretty devastated after wasting all the time on those SSSDH plants that didn't really make it and now having wasted the time growing out this one and the clones in my SCROG.

Things are looking pretty healthy nice man. Those seedlings look good. I had to start some new seedlings because the coco I got was very high in salt and I didn't check it before planting(dumb move) but now I have some good botanicare coco. I think the easiest nutes to use with pure coco is either (6ml micro/9ml booom from general hydro, Maxibooom, or veg+booom) All of those are simple high quality mixes that provide everything necessary for a good harvest without any wierd ph swings that can happen from organic inputs.

Unfortunatley buddy that is most definitely a male plant. Looks good too! Damn it.

Hey Justiceman, thanks for the feedback. You're right, I just had this sliver of hope that by asking it may change, haha.

I am actually planning on replacing the clones I had in the SCROG with the Gluebreath hybrid clones I know are female and running that 6/9 formula. I've got some GH nutes I've only used once or twice so I figure it's as good a time to use it on a full run start to finish and see how I like it.

I'll just take this as an excuse to pop some more of those Karmdown #2 x Pink Bazooka seeds.
