Five strain grow 400w hps

Hello RIU, I have recieved my seeds from discreet seeds today. I have 1xGreen House-Jack herer, 1x Fast and vast autoflower. 1x World of seeds amnesia autoflower. I also have a OG kush male sitting under a few flourecent lights I plan on breeding with my Jack herer. I plan on starting the germination process tomorrow on the seeds, hopefully I get a 100% rate. Doubtful but one can hope.
I have a oracle hood with cooltube, also a oracle 400w electronic ballast. My grow medium will be fox farms ocean forest. I have had no issues with this soil, although many have. I like it because it feeds my plant throughout the vegetation period I am aiming for on the Jack (3-4) weeks. The soil also has worm castings which are delightfully full of microbes. I will be experimenting with a newer product called recharge. The product is supposed to boost the microbe activities in your soil, producing a better growing and healthier plant.
The nutrient line I am using is general hydroponics 3 part, grow, micro,bloom. Very simple and effective if you use sparingly and work up to a larger dose. I also flush the medium when using this line to prevent a salt buldup. The pots I am using are 2 gallon geo pots. The pots are pretty much smart pots. The reason for using these is that they allow air to flow around the root zone. I have read that this allows the plant to grow larger in a smaller pot without causing the plant to become rootbound. And using a smaller 2 gallon pot I have more space for more plants under my smaller light. The Jack herer will be vegged for 4 weeks, alongside the autoflowers under my 400w hps using 18/6 lighting. Using my hps for veg will cause more stretch in between nodes. But I don't have any height issues so I'm not worried about that. Feel free to comment, offer advice, or criticize. OG kush male.

O.G Male has some things I find desirable. Fat fan leaves, a nice fuel/skunk smell at only 3 weeks. The nodes are not spread to far apart under my hps. The plant handles lower humidity well. I've also dropped 3 random bag seeds into a cup of water. All of the seeds are arizona high grade medical bag seed. I am hoping for one if not 2 females so I can utilize a bit more of my O.G Kush pollen. I plan on pollinating a single bud on each female plants excluding the autos. Edit: the O.G Male responded very well to fiming, he produced vigorous undergrowth after recovering.

My amnesia, Jack, and fast and vast have been placed into a paper towel to begin the germination process. I've also started germination on 3 regular seeds given to me by a friend. All of the seeds look beautiful. I am ridding my room of the male OG kush plant. Unfortunately I don't have a large enough light for so many plants.

All 3 seeds have cracked, and all 3 of the bag seeds have cracked. The Jack herer, fast and vast, and the amnesia are being planted in their permanent pots. If the other plant seeds make it they will be transplanted later on. Hopefully they all pop up in a few days.

All of my good seeds popped a couple days ago, I also recieved a seed from some herb called grape Ape's Blueberries. The herb was purchased at a local dispensary. That seed has popped and is growing well. I have now a total of 6 plants growing one of the random bag seeds was disposed of. also something I find humorous to those that say ffof is to hot for planting a seed. As all of mine are growing perfectly in it and I placed my germed seeds directly in it. This is a boring stage of growth so I will update after a week or so.

All of my ladies look amazing, growing very nicely so far.fast ND vast is doing great, growing at about the same rate as the auto amnesia. My grape ape's blueberries is doing good and is outperforming my greenhouse jack herer so far. And the 2 bagseed are looking good aswel. So far so good. Here is a group photo here's another photo, grape ape's blueberries in the front and Jack herer in the back. here's a photo of the fast n vast in front and the auto amnesia In the back lastly my bagseeds

Ladys Look lovley this morning. Have a faint skunky Smell in my room. Nothing to exciting yet!

Heavyweight Fast and vast is showing preflowers And so is my world of seeds amnesia. Both are auto flowers and today is day 21 out of soil for them. Fimed both bagseeds, my greenhouse jack herer and my grape ape's blueberries. So excited to have all of this variety in my grow! All plants are very healthy, we do battle high heat out here so that does stress them ever so slightly, tips and edges curling upward but not to extreme. Growth appears normal.

It's going good so far, it seems to be a slightly sensitive strain at this point. It's presenting some issues my other 5 plants are not, Nothing major just some curling. My conditions are far from ideal anyway so some minor problems are expected. But still seems to be performing extremely well so far!

nice. I'm following the thread so please keep posting. I am very interested.

Seems that greenhouse seeds placed my auto amnesia In the fast and fast baggie. And the fast and fast in the amnesia baggie. The plant labeled amnesia is very bulky looking, leaves are wide.and my plant labeled fast and vast is very lanky with thinner leaves, not an attribute of a 90% indica strain... doh. Good job greenhouse seeds.

I don't mess with Greenhouse seeds. Ever

Ladies are doing great, responding well to the fiming. The autos are doing great, growing very quickly. My nutrient trials have begun, mistakes will be made.

lookin great

The jack herer and grape ape are growing very quick after the fiming. Grape ape has 4 main tops coming out. Lots of undergrowth. Jack has 2 main tops also lots of undergrowth. The autos are growing so quick. It's crazy. I removed one of the bagseeds, it was weak and stunted. Waste of space. My room reaks, my friend thought I was smoking blunts in here... not good. Group photo, that's a 2 litre coke bottle.

It's amazing how fast the autos do their thing

Amnesia and fast and vast are over a foot tall now, Jack herer Is super bushy, grape ape is also very bushy, bagseed looks decent. The PH buffer in the fox farms must have run out, tested my ph from runoff at 5.0.... I've been watering with 6.5. Did a good flush on all the ladies. Took forever but all runoff was 6.0-6.5 after I finished. I have a mini forest in my closet now.

Looking good. I have my fast and vast in the rockwool now. Hope it pops soon!
