Lovely patio!!!

I do a hard copy calendar that at the end of the year looks like pure madness.
The tags are plastic / broad and tall enough not to get lost in the pot/ and I use a Black Sharpie. Can fade in the flowering light so I just give it a second coat. At harvest I reuse them on the drying net to delineate the strains, reuse the other side for the next grow ( being SURE to cross out or scrub out the previous)

Stay warm good buddy🤗

Purple Moby Dick @ 35 days from putting seed promising looks for the backyard. Currently under 4’ 4 bulb T5 24/7. Like all others:
mix my coco/perlite, pre moisten with 5 ml CaliMagic /pH 6 water
fill 6 x 6 plastic s 3/4 full
put seed into root riot
put root riot with seed into coco mix (leave root riot top showing.)
once germinated (3-6 days) and the stem takes on that tall look...
backfill with more coco mix & add a touch more of moisture
iIF Fems like above : once leaves reach the sides of plastic...
premoisten mix (usually with feed) in 5 gL smart pots; transplNt🌱then additionL feed but not drain to waste yet.
Yappy pappy here

you can get garden markers like sharpies, they don't fade in the light

those are looking very happy do you leave them in Gallon pots until they sex themselves ,I tried taking clones and blooming them but a couple died so wont know from there they are over 6 weeks old but just got transplanted into 3 gal pots I will just have to keep an eye on them lol oh and I just started 42 regular seeds 5 each of different strains ,I have to have enough time to grow them out clone them and have clones ready for outside by the end of May

oldjarhead100 the PMD s above are feminized. So no sexing issues.
For regular seeds I start in a 5x5x6” plastic pot. Rarely do I see sex there. I have transplanted to 3 gal smart pots but usually end up in 5 gal pots. As I worry about the plants getting too route bound. Start to see pistils /balls 7-8+ weeks. In that time frame I do topping asit seems to accelerate the sexing. It is an exciting process as well as frustrating and expensive in time & $$. And...as my regular seeds are usually F1 s I have to watch for herms . All so I do the veg under the T5s 24/7...( and take them out to the sun too). Ideally I’ll do the flip in the flower tent and once established...move them outside.
I know next to nothing about cloning - only did it twice and gave them away.
In short...with a chuckle..I recommend you get on it!

I counted time in veg 10 weeks and no balls but no pistils either the calyxes are long and pointy but no hairs ,I had them all out for bondage day and there was only 2 that I had real concerns about being male ,we will see , believe it or not I think cloning is easier than seeds once you get the hang of it, although I'm setting myself up for a crazy spring with all the seeds I started , I figured 5 of each strain I should get at least one female then clone her for the rest of the needed plants its my plan lol

I cloned this grow season, but next I will try the auto's, just for giggles.
Awesome looking grow.

4 weeks/2 days in the flower tent. I’m in the purgatory of my impatience. Wishing the DoubleCookie x PurpleWizard would giddy-up more but all is ok. Getting sticky face moving each out of the tent to feed and sticky fingers STILL defoliating.

You always have such beautiful well manicured plants. Ive gotten lazy and just started running seas of green. Still getting same totals or more per tent just doing it the lazy way.

I need the burn to grow back. Getting hard never running out.

 

[oldjarhead100]

ragweed Watch those Autos outside they get bud rot really bad at least mine did July and Aug humidity in NE was to much for them

 

[oldjarhead100]

Sticky Face I love it maybe thats why my beard gets full of shit lol Tika I went to 3 gallon pots and found tieing them down a bit more of a challenge Granted they were in Veg forever but I used my plant stands /Lifters/risers and attached those yoyo thingies ,it really allowed me to open them up since we use the same I thought I would share Oh you do have to remember that the stand goes with the plant I lifted mine a few times and went WTF lol

 

[RagWeedDWC]

oldjarhead100 I have to grow inside, problem is that during the spring and summer I fish, so no time for growing. Pick it back up in the fall. Like to clone because you have known plant and its nutrient needs. You guys taught me a ton this year, so next year off to a flying start.

 

[Tika]

oldjarhead100 what is the question? Plant riser or saucers for them or?....

 

[RagWeedDWC]

`I stick my head in so I can wax my mustache . In the last grow room rebuild I mounted the DWC reservoir on a 3/4 marine plywood that fit the bottom of the VEG and Flower side, mounted casters on the bottom of it so I can slide the whole grow out into the room and trim or for maintenance. To damn old to bend around inside my grow room
