Let the games begin; second pic is a comparison between this Year's efforts and last Year's.

Another comparison between the potential these two show against the pair in 3 gal SIPs finishing up in the alternate box.

Hopefully I've got another couple of weeks for this to fill out before it becomes entangled in the shelf; the intention is to slide it over to the cabinet that's finishing the pair pictured above where I'll have more freedom to continue my manipulations.

Traditionally, Winter here continues through the first week or two of March so my tomatoes and peppers will still commandeer the third cabinet before I've got the additional space for vegging further future efforts.

Rather than mourn the lost potential of the Eclipse who evidenced as male, I decided to offer up a sacrificial virgin and let them bump uglies to provide some fresh seeds for the coming Year.

The most hesitant of a wave of apparently rooted clones is ensconced in my ICU while the other four ride it out until the end of the month under the no name full spectrum units on my sprouting shelves.

A very generous assessment, thank you.

The focus of this thread is to share my experience and perspectives with a TSL 2000 which would be capable of handling things alone in this cramped 2 X 4 ft closet but I'm running it in conjunction with a SP3000 for undoubtedly a bit of overkill.

Having no real experience working clones I'm very interested in learning the pace of their development. Overall, weed feels like it takes forever even though the life cycle plays out between three to ten months. My general pattern is to work two months from seed on 18/6 to build an adequate base and roughly the same to reach harvest. Realizing the reduced root structure here will likely mean the normal pattern yields a much smaller base but as of yet that chapter is not yet written. I topped these at a much frailer state then seed based but I'm excited that lateral growth seems almost on par with what I've always experienced.

The second pic hints at two successive waves working behind these who should hit the soil by the end of the month.

Roughly halfway through here and about two weeks away from the next contestant starting short hours. A fresh quartet of clones taken from the next at bat may be ready to hit the soil at that point.
