Ok so I wasn't happy with 3 weeks of high temps, plants were not up to par so pulled the lot early, will just hash them. The Blue Pyramids and Blue Ripper x Harlequin were almost there, those are 50 day phenos under CMH. Will re-run the BP pheno 1 when I can fit it in and decide whether to run the Blue Ripper x Harlequin once I get a taste of it, strong smell of strawberries on that one.
Will be running the COBs only until I get some consistent cool weather. Threw in 6x 3gal's. 2 of them are Blue Ripper x Blue Dream testers straight up/no training from seed that looked and smelled good enough to flower out, they're at Day 15 so buds are setting in. The rest are JTR, Plemon, Blue Dream, and Blue Ripper F2/P3 which turned out fire from seed, 1st clone of that one. All had some super-cropping for training, no topping or FIM's. Really interested to see how the Plemon goes with some training, it's about the shortest going in but it's also a big stretcher.
Spent about 2 hours cleaning the room top to bottom, needed it! Temps are running 77-78F and RH is 50'sh so they should fare much better. 1st pic has the strains identified, Day 0...

No, maybe it sounded like that, just that I won't run the CMH until things cool down, will likely run it in a separate 3x3 but more towards end of November, Will need to run those alternating perpetual's again to get through some pheno hunts so will likely run both, just need to wait cooler weather...

Saw a pic of it in the BB thread, very nice. This one's not huge but should pop 6-8 tops, I remember thinking it was tiny when I ran it from seed, then it stretched
I'll be adding some of those bamboo trellises for at least some of them once they get into the stretch, will wait to decide whether they'll need it or not. I'm thinking the Plemon, JTR, and Blue Dream may need them. Those trellises slide right down the edge and I've added them several weeks into flowering with no ill effects.

Saw those man, really badass! I was actually looking for those when i bought the cages, couldnt find the bamboo, and the cages were only $3, cheap and lazy wins again!Saw a pic of it in the BB thread, very nice.

Hey same thing more or less, they'll do the same thing. I was looking for cages in the dollar store when I came across those bamboo one's a couple of years back - lol Dollar store is my first go-to when I need almost anything for the garden, sometimes I put my McGuiver hat on and walk through to see what I can find in there to make what I need. Great supply shop, just a lot of it is seasonal over here so I'll just stock up on some items.

Yeah good time of year for that, just walked Lowes while I was grabbing my soil stock for the winter - at 50% off
That's one tip for the Canadian folks if they've just started indoor growing, grab your supplies now to last you through until March/April. It's a bitch trying to find and thaw out Pro-Mix or soil when it's been in deep freeze, if you can even buy it. There's a hydro guy in Barrie that keeps pro-mix inside but his prices are crazy.

Lol, yeah our winters here suck for supplies, not a lot of indoor gardeners other than us illegal or medical MJ gardeners. The heat can certainly be an issue, although a basement grow (pretty well every house has a basement) is usually fine since the furnace is typically in the basement. For my flower room I tried one of those space heaters at first, once I got the first hydro bill I tied into my HVAC and ran a new vent into the room, added an inline fan with variable controller and voila, free heat

lol, yeah the basement's def my man-cave, never been much of a garage guy, basement's warmer - lol Just about to add another 32"x32" tent for vegging so I can dedicate my 2x2x4' for males
Here's the thing with the flower room build, I don't normally build shit and "outsource" everything so I can do whatever I like to do. With the flower room it wasn't like I could contract it out so I went to Google university for everything, from venting to electrical to framing and got'r done

Hey mc that one will be a while, several months, I have a couple of other sats and a couple of indicas I want to start with. Things could change, I'll be keeping a little bit of space available in the flower room to flower out any good looking females, and have a dedicated male tent so I could get there faster.

Shhhh, you're the only one who caught that the inline fan was pointing the wrong way and pushing the air back into the basementYea Brother Everything Looks Great Except You Must Have Been Reading The Plans Upside Down

I love my basement for growing; concrete floors, stable temps, away from prying eyes...
