Coming out of retirement bag seed grow

Well with the current economic state and the fact I smoke too much I decided to join the community again lol. This is actually my second grow with these “gelato” bag seeds. First grow went great using General Hydroponic 3 part system with cal mag supplement in coco/perlite mix. Took 12 weeks to get 100 milky trichromes!!! But here’s the new grow!

Found these seeds in a half ounce of really good smoke sold to me as gelato (black market lyfe) based off the firmness of the buds and sparsity of seeds I took a educated guess and assumed these seeds came from a banana or a plant turning hermy during a grow ops.. I hoped they were all females!! Well after a fast test grow and a friends grow, so far 12/12 female!!

Beans planted into prepared rock wool and planted directly into plain rinsed coco mix. popped end of Nov, one died off quickly for unknown reasons, no problem! Popped another one and back to 6. Started under a t5 light hood in a 2x2. Maintained sub 80f for early seeds and then went to low 70s after giving first nute feeding.

Dec 31 transferred to 3 gals of reused coco mix. Unknown to me at the time, I though I had flushed and rinsed this soil completely. It was actually the wrong batch that holy had roots removed. I wouldn’t discover this till after my second feeding, set me back a week at least! But flushed ppm to 300ppm and started back a normal feeding regiment when soil dried out.

looking rough after the transfer, soil looks dry but that was additional coco added afterwards.

Jan 6 looking good! Wish I topped that 2 leg bastard again when it was in the 2x2 but better late than never!

Jan 13th. Decided to try out my old clone machine again, got it prepped and took a few clones just for fun lol, also playing around with how well seed germination works in direct hydro, again just playing around.

Jan 24th swapped to hps after reading data that shows hps grows more lengthy, which is what I’m looking for with a scrog to fill! Moved clone machine to my 2x2 and stated work on a new table to allow dual level of growing. Roots popped fast, first sign of roots was after 7 days and I’ve had about 50% seed propagation via direct hydro rock wool.. not really a viable method lol

Looking good! I started up again last year. Didn't realize how much I missed it.
Thanks! It is a good feeling, regret every stopping to begin with. Got some new genes otw now, these bag seeds came out really good last grow but I want something with that diesel hit for next time.
 
Week 1 of flowering is complete. Ppm is around 800-1200, having issues with my ph meter, waiting on new probe to arrive to get correct results (left dry for almost 2 years). Have weaved all new growth into scrog, will continue to do so for another week or until the stretch is completed ( or when I’m out of room lol). Will lightly defoliate as well when this step is complete, currently just clipping any foliage that’s shading new growth.

Light was set to super lux mode (~1200 watt) most of the week, set back to 1000w to save on wattage and bulb life.. plus I really don’t see much more aggressive growth than what I would at 1000 if the plants are happy. Humidity has increased from 40-50 percent to 60 due to the growth and canopy thickness. Day time is 74f, cooled by 2 clip ons and a 6 inch 440cfm inline set to 50% speed. Night time hits 67f before the heater engages bringing it to 70f setpoint. Average lung room temp is 72, humidity 30%.

Bag seeds ???
You didn’t get the latest chocolate rainbow candy terp chem cookie watermelons kush?
That is the only way to grow dank
Crack some seeds
You got this :weed:
Hahaha yeah I’ll have to pass, I did just get my new order of sour D seeds so that I’m excited about!!!
I think the bag seeds I got are Gelato X Tahoe/kush. 5 of the first 6 plants grown were for sure in the “gelato” family… but one came out pine as fuck with a hint of lemon,
 
Day 15 of flower. Been feeding at 5.8ph and 1000ppm GH flora 6 part early bloom schedule. Run off has maintained 900-1200ppm with a ph range of 6.0-6.3. Removed large fan leaves 2/9, humidity has ranged 45-50 lights on and get up to 65-70 at night with humidifier off. Temps are 78f day, 64f night.1BB6145B-B3F8-4863-B31A-8A9557D1C89B.jpeg
