Eso's tester comp!

[thenotsoesoteric]

I had issues in rockwool too. Have you tried rapid rooters?

Naw, well, actually I did but years ago. I'm just using rock wool to start because Im going to run 4" rock wool cubes to grow them in for this test run.

I typically just run coco so the seeds go straight into the coco. RW is just a bitch to start but then gets going good. Though I guess the rapid tooter could go into the 4" cubes too. Ill check them out next time Im at the store. Cheers man

Here we go fellas, I got two of each moved to my @HydroRed inspired f&d. Oj, welchie, dbb all had feeder roots off of the main and were trying to stretch out a bit. 15 gallons of tap water in the res with megacrop at 350ppm Ph at 5.6. Temp at night 72 RH at about 50% and day temps especially the last few days and up coming gonna be a hot MF Gonna keep an eye on them but things are dialed tight right now!

Nice work on the system build. One of the easiest hydro setups I've ever run personally. Between the beans and the system I'd anticipate a good harvest.

Looking good so far man! Good stuff and I love the f & d systems you guys are running. Keeps it simply but still gives good hydro results. Cheers

So I’m noticing a slight variation between strains even this early. The dbb seedlings have a slight redness to the stem color and the others (oj and welchie ) are standard green. Just wondering what the blackdog parent was talking about. It’s not the environment because they are all in the same spot. Was that strain finicky by chance? @thenotsoesoteric

The blackberry pheno of black dog was not finicky so the red is just genetic. Several of my seedlings have red/purple stems right now but some are green. My 2 oj#3 are more purple than the others but in a few days once they get bigger leaves they'll green up.

So far only 1 dinoberry bite, 1 black grape dummy and 1 all valley grape have yet to open up and green up. I literally just removed the pinched closed shells on the all valley and black grape so hopefully I peeled the shell off in time and they green up. So far not too shabby.

Here is a grape sato clone my buddy has going outside. It is starting to flower so you can see it doesn't stretch too bad at all. Nice structure with a little training. She should help chill that lvtk and oran jones stretch out in some progeny.

 

[thenotsoesoteric]

While it will grow out of this it is still pretty for the moment, in person the purple pops out better. Though I do anticipate this cross to have nice colors in fade, the black grape dum dum (blk dog purp pheno x gs).


I ended up getting more beans than I thought I would end up getting off the last three chucks I did of the purple black dog, oj#3, and grape bubba so it looks like every pack I sell will come with 1-2 freebies of the black grape dum dum and the orangeberry smoothie v2 (the oj#3 used in v2, #3 is the orange pheno). I got about the same amount of beans off each one, this is black grape dd

The all valley grape cross (grape bubba x gs) is the only one I'll get 50 or less beans from so with this one I'm gonna put like 25 two bean packs inside random packs that I'm selling. So hopefully I can do like 20-25 2 packs of the all valley grape inside the dino bites, welchie and orangeberry smoothie v1. That way it'll be like old school sports cards with the limited rare inserts. Cheers

The 2nd Welchie popped up to say hello this morning. 6 for 6 (2 of each strain).
The square green thing with 2 planters has 2 Welchies

The 4 bigger plants in the F&D are the other 2 strains (the other is a GMO cake) . All are labelled clearly. In the new Veg room !

The two Welchies will be made large. I will put 1 in a 3 gallon coco pot and the other in a 6.5 and grow them to see what happens.

BIG things I would imagine!

 

[Hogbackmagic]

@thenotsoesoteric those crosses sound great would not mind buying some of them crosses when avalible
very nice and good luck everyone I pulled up a chair for this happy growing

 

[Dear ol” Thankful Grower!]

Gs x bd I just wrote BD(x) I was baked whatevs we all know what it is now haha

 

[thenotsoesoteric]

When I was helping the last all valley grape out of its shell I pulled up too much apparently and snapped the tap root. I was wondering why it stalled out. So all the beans popped but a couple need help out of their shells due to starting them in rock wool.

I only did 1 oj#1 x gs (orangeberry smoothie) and then 1 grape bubba (all valley grape) died so I got 10 seedlings going forward. So I got 1 ob smooth from oj#1, 2 ob smooth from oj#3, 2 black grape dum dum, 2 dyno bites, 1 all valley grape, 2 welchie

I thought I posted that last night but apparently I didn't hit the pst button.

That's what I was referring too, waiting for these little seedlings to start getting interesting. I just keep looking at them like,


But honestly it won't be too long now and I'll be like "fuck, now they need to slow the hell down." It's always like that, lmao. Cheers man and no rush on pics, hell they're all just babies right now anyway.

Here are the girls tonight Edit: well some of the girls, I see some got cut off the pic.

LMAO! This made me chuckle, I experienced that big time with the current run, a few Plan B moves along the way lol

Really fun watching everyone's journey with you man!

Yeah, I knew what you meant. I’m right there with you on the hurry up part but they’re going pretty good in this f&d. It’s pretty trouble free so far. Only thing I’m dealing with is some ph swing and it could be just settling. Not sure if heat makes ph swing or not but my res temps are up around 80 ish because of this damn heatwave. Been debating putting a fitting at the bottom and putting a pump inline and then through the chiller. No funky smells or slime so I’m just gonna let it ride. Put them in there on Friday or Saturday so not quite time to do a res change. I dunno, I’ll let you guys be the judge on how they look

Orangeberry Smoothie and DynoBites are in the bloom room. I am glad I made those room doors big enough to drag the flood and drain around August 7 they went into 12-12 currently under a 4k QB135 with 3k cob spillover.
These were not topped or manipulated. Once they were big enough i didnt have to hover over them I put them in 12-12.

I cant stem rub them or they will not survive LOL..

Welchie is getting bigger in the veg room. That might be another few weeks before it hits bloom.

DynoBerry Bites to the left and Orangeberry Smoothie to the right.
