Totally agree HAF I have done side by side with clones and seeds those put in big pots were always slower I am sold on transplanting 2-3 times even autos I know that statement will raise some eyebrows but for me it's how I roll sometimes life gets in the way and I up pot later than I wanted too but I love watching the plants grab another gear when you get it right
Yeah, I think these are revving up. Looks like a few may end up with ugly lower leaves but the new upper stuff is starting to pray now.

Revving up. The Space Queen is just killing it. It's already top-able as far as secondary limbs go, but I'm not touching them until they start moving.

That One is a lighter green plant than This One. For you nute-ers in the comp she may be wanting more food.

I think I am finally done with new beans. There was no 'drop' advertised but the Dominion seedbank got a new stock in. I got the
Polecat 91 - (Chemdog91 x SSSC Skunk 1) x [(“Chemdog91 x SSSC Skunk 1” x “Skelly Hashplant x SSSC Skunk 1”)]
and Dominion G is [CapitalG x Dominion Skunk]
For me it's not the hunt for a skunk, though finding one wouldn't be bad - but it's the high I got from the skunk. There were a few other offerings, and I would have snagged one of each if I had the cash. Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Last thing was a Crazy Hazy from Archive. It's a Big Sur Holyweed cross that's feminized. I think it'll be a marathon. I wanted a good trippy haze (or the potential for one) and the 11 week CTZ from Riot has been easy in the living soil. Doing the rotation thing I just lose a spot in the next drop (or not) if I have one flowering longer. No issues with over-feeding, no special consideration, just stays in the tent longer.

I had to thin the canopy so I tried that thing taking the inward and/or outward facing fan leaves off every limb that needed it. I took anything that was shaded underneath, but not necessarily those that were poking out from under the edge. I also took two more upper fans off several since the one above it was fully open.

The raised plant has the fan under it, so there was good air movement under there anyway.

I may need to raise one more on a shelf set at about half height now that they are done stretching.

This shows the different purples better than the tops

These got settled in and everything looked perky so I gave them their veg tea with alfalfa and kelp in it. I sprouted alfalfa seeds to get the best bang for the buck, but I added some meal as well with the kelp and some malted barley. It also had an inoculation of Beauveria junk for the roots, and some LAB just to get everything moving. I bubbled it for a few hours. Also removed the seed-leaves and any shoots that were there. The Space Queen has already had both lower nodes removed and I pinched the sprouts above the 4 limbs I'm keeping. When she's ready to flip she'll get the closet with the CTZ. The 31st is 4 weeks for these.

The garden outside should be set except for the row crops. This is on 18/6 so I can stick weed in here. The weird The Cream from Irie is still vegging away. If it does anything I may play with it. IMG_8530.JPG

Are you drooping any new beans on this next new moon H.A.F. ?

Yup. I have half a skunky lineup ready to drop but I'm waiting until I have the stuff I ordered to run a full tent of rank.

This month I am running some other stuff
County Line Hashplant (fem) - I have about an ounce or less left so I'm running another one and likely cloning - at least to keep a good one in my garden tent. This is one of my desert island strains I think... I could smoke this one all day every day and still dig it. The second bean is to see if it's all similar. If so I have lots of beans and I can drop and clone at my convenience like this time. If it doesn't check all the boxes then I know to drop a few next time and plan on cloning everything - and buy another pack or three ;)

Mountaintop Mint (fem) from Humbolt Seed Co. - They may be the last breeder I buy stuff from - not anytime soon - but I like what he's doing with the massive pheno hunts. He has several "original strains" that are fem only and the only criteria was that it have an awesome taste profile and/or unique awesome high - and that it breed true in the selfed beans. They have lots of flavors that are supposed to be great. I have one. I figure that "berry" or "mango" is pretty random, and if you think that's what you're supposed to smell you probably will if it's even close. Can't fake mint! :ROFLMAO:

2ea regs
Loud Lemon Sorbet from Ganja Farmer - lemon #1
Lemony Wicked OG from Maddfarmer - Lemon #2
William’s Wonder from AK Bean Brains - Growing one of the legends, now I just need the Beatrix Choice...
Thunderhole F2 which is AKBB's Matanuska Thunderfuck and Duke's A.S.S. Man (Airborne g13 X Skelly Skunk) as the pollen donor.
The last two were a 20-pack released by AKBB to give the proceeds to Duke.

For the Humbolt Seed pheno hunt there were lots of farms and a million beans or something like that. Basically a bucket full of shit he crossed and didn't release that might have gems. They ran it just based on the individual plant, not what it was bred from. I mean, they kept track of the parents but they had no bearing on which plants they kept and reversed.

Right on man, I think I am going to do a drop as well and see if I can keep that same pace and if I can just go ahead and make that my permanent schedule. I'm gunna drop 2ea.
Lemon Frosting(Heisenbeans)
Lemon Garlic(Bag Seed)
HeisenVader(my Adub X Animal Cookies X Alien Rift(Lemon Pledge pheno) just to see if they work or not.

I can fit 18 plants in the two tents maxed out. I had the overflow from the contest drop but I am shooting for 6-7 girls per drop out of those 18 spots. Basically a third of my flower space.

If I did half of my flower space each drop that's fine if I flip at one month exactly, and if everything finishes in 8 weeks. For production with no variety you could run 8-week strain perpetually and half would be fine.

That extra third is for the fact that lots of stuff takes 9-11 weeks to get done, and sometimes I need to veg for 5-6 weeks.

Two fems and 8 regs is to get 6 girls. If I get more I can make it work. That's what the extra space is for.
I have the closet I can flip, the mini tent I can veg in or even flower runts, and now the garden tent I can veg in. Not light controlled at all so no flower.

I have overflow for both flower and veg, but usually you only need any of those for a week or so two as something finishes.

I have a box of blurples and a weird 'full spectrum' thing from some girl on that other forum I was given to test (that was not great) that I could bring in to play as well if I had more tents. But I am keeping it to what I can flower constantly in the two tents from now on. There's no sense dropping to get less than 6 or you just end up with a blank spot next month, or the month after. When I dropped the CTZ everything else I dropped regs was male. It all works out.
 
So my flower cuts of Harlets & Hashplants seem to work/act pretty much just like veg cuts do as it is now day 8 since I took them and they are all about to kick it root. It will be interesting to see how long they grow ugly before they start to throw 5 leaves again. In any event I really like this method as you can get a real good look at the mom and know if it's something you want to even take a cut off of in the first place.
Thanks again for sharing that process H.A.F. (y)

I misspoke before, the Loud Lemon from Ganja Farmer is fems. Changes nothing except I drop 1 instead of 2.
So I have this going down tomorrow. Pulled everything from the fridge to warm up.
1 County Line Hashplant (fem) 🥴
1 Mountaintop Mint (fem) from Humbolt Seed Company - 10-pack had 11.
1 Loud Lemon Sorbet (fem) from Ganja Farmer
2 Lemony Wicked OG from Maddfarmer
2 William’s Wonder from AK Bean Brains - supposed to have 8, I'm planting two and have 9 left.
2 Thunderhole F2 AKBB/Dominion colab

The CBD Sage is cured, and it is a nice morning smoke. Not really high but it's there. Probably using most of it for decarb.
