Ok, all the male plants are pulled. I'm keeping a clone in case I want to try to make some seeds later on.

Moving on - I started 4 more Karmdown #2 x Pink Bazooka and 4 GG#4 x Pink Bazooka in tap water this morning. The two strongest cuttings I took of the Gluebreath x Pink Bazooka and one of the Barny's Farms Critical Kush seedlings got moved into the 2nd flowering tent to veg for a bit.

Heatsinks and fans just came in for the new lights! So at least I have that to be excited about.

New COBs came in today - only remaining piece is the new power supply for the light expansion.

All of the GG#4 x PB and KD#2 x PB sunk this morning and will probably start showing their tails tomorrow or the next day. The two Fastbuds autos are up out of the rockwool and looking healthy. Another week or so in the humidity tent and they'll probably be getting ready to transplant.

Moving forward with the 6/9 formula documented in the 'H3ad goes Coco' thread for everything except my soil plants and DWC stuff. We'll see how the girls like the change in nutrients.

Here is my GBxPB plant at day 10 of flower. Pistil formation is starting to pick up and individual tops are becoming more noticeable.

All of the Pink Bazooka hybrids I started have cracked and are showing tails. Moved them into rockwool cubes today. Here's what's in the humidity dome:

4 x GG#4xPB (4 cubes in the top left)
6 x KD#2xPB (4 cubes in the bottom left and the two male clones on the right)
1 x Six Shooter (auto)
1 x Mexican Airlines (auto)
1 x GBxPB (female clone in the cup of coco)

So is this the new thread bro? Your gonna keep the sssdh thread to right?

Man I can't believe those plants ended up being male.. you should def keep the clone of him so u can pollinate even just 1 branch.. How exactly are you going to train those girl in flower with that ring? Are you gonna wrap the branches around if? Or just tie the branches straight outwards?

Looking good bud, can't wait to see what the end results of both of our grows look like.. Although I can bet you'll have much bigger plants and yields , since your not growing in soil!

[GastroGrower]

Yeah I'll dedicate the SSSDH thread to just that plant. I'd like to dial it in really well and run it a couple more times so I'll keep posting there. Lot's of random stuff to share here though.

I'm just using that tomato cage/ring to spread out the branches and get a more even canopy.

I grow some plants in soil but it just doesn't produce the yield I need for my medical purposes. Occasionally I'll run something in soil for the taste if I've got some extra space.

Right on man! I like how perky that gluebreath is getting. You won't be disappointed with the 6/9 formula in coco. Just make sure your pH is in check and you're good to go! Its simplicity is awesome, and very effective. No BS, no magic, just all the nutrients needed to grow a healthy plant and it is tailored for coco. It produces quality that ranks up there with all those other ridiculously priced nutrients in my opinion. Don't forget the ratio is what is important so lets say you want to do half strength nutrients for a gallon. Either cut the measurements in half 3/4.5, or do 6/9 and add an extra gallon.

The gh ratios can be adjusted for pure hydro and soil too if you find yourself interested. I believe the ratios for those are 8 micro/16 bloom If you want to look further into that I would google "Lucas Formula". It's very informative.

The following nutrients are possibly the simplest yet effective ones I know about:
Maxibloom(1 part) 7g per gal
GH micro/bloom(2 part gives you slightly more ability to tailor) 6/9 or 8/16
FloraNova bloom(1part) 8ml per gal
Veg+Bloom(1part) 4-5g per gal

mmmmmm love me some rockwool. I don't know why but rockwool clones just look cool.

[GastroGrower]

Yeah I still like the Botanicare nutes for soil. They seem to work well if you can read the plant and you feed light. The Gluebreath likes the 6/9 formula around 550 PPM so I mix the micro and bloom in 3 Gallons of water then increase water until it's diluted.

[justiceman]

Ya PBP is some good stuff. That Gluebreath man! She's going to be some good smoke.

Wait which FastBuds Autos are you growing again lol? I really wanted to grow 1-2 of there strains, but theres ALOT of VERY bad reviews on this company. So Im actually looking at some of Aris Autos from his company.. They have A Good variety with A VERY high percentage of good reviews to bad ones..

EDIT- Just saw your post again. So you only popped 2 seeds in total, 1 of each strain?

Yeah man, I really wanna see you grow out the SSSDH girl close to her full potential. Im sure the next run will be no comparison to the first grow.. If its anything like the phenos that guy Bobbo is growing out, then your in for A damn good treat..

What are the most noticeable differences you've seen, growing in hydro compared to soil? Ive heard/seen that yields are a major difference. Also setting up the hydro system is alot more work and its sometimes a bitch to maintain? Idk ive never tried lol, closest thing ive done is clone in straight water haha..

I've started to use the rings as well.. I want to see if that growth hormone thing makes a big difference. What are your thoughts about it, and making sure the tops/canopy are all at an even height?
