Well the tides have changed in my life folks and I'm pumped...
Just acquired a fucking awesome piece of land. Start building my forever home next spring. Monster playroom for a basement. A lot of good things will be coming over the next year.
I have to provide meds for 4 patients and I want to get serious about breeding and helping people.

Keep paying it forward, karma does seem to come around after all.
Congrats, brother! Keep up the good work!

...followed closely by the conundrums presented by the desire to 'do it right', lol
Yup exactly right sir.
I'm building a house out of shipping containers. Hopefully with a full walk out basement.
I have enough equipment to set up a warehouse but the goal is one big area I can section off to create a breeding room a veg room and a monster flower room. We'll see how it goes but I am a perfectionist and it should be interesting anyway.

That sounds awesome, I can't wait to see your progress!

I must be a glutton for punishment.

6 green crack
11 space snacks 11/12 germ'd
Since these space snacks are the product of a shortened flower cycle pollination I've decided to try 8/16 from seed. I will only use the cfls and t5 for a week or two then I will bump up to the mh

Yeah man they have some weird growth traits...once I topped them and the two main tops started growing they started growing in a zig zag pattern just like when they go into flowering mode .

Got em all transplanted except for 4-5. Fucking sucks running out of soil ingredients and having no licence. Hopefully these will be ok root bound in the cups for a day or two more.
Really hoping to get some nice mothers out of this batch of beans.
The green crack are super bushy and I'm excited to see how they stretch. The cold weather is finally coming back so here's hoping I can go back to using the bigger light asap.
Only planning to veg these long enough to take some cuts and throw em in flower.
The clones cut from these will be vegged over the winter and planted outside next May as my first real outdoor crop.

I'm thinking about throwing the screen back in here and switching them to flower. I miss seeing lil buds again lol
Plus these seeds were from the last reduced light cycle so maybe they will be better suited for it?
Not sure I've they would have evolved at all yet but I guess there's only one way to find out

You gonna do six again or try the eight hour light cycle you'd discussed?

I think in the future I will try running three areas on 8 each. So in theory three harvests simultaneously.
Should really fuck with the grams per watt guys lol

Just you wait 'til you see what I'VE got in store for them!

Sounds like an obvious perpetual setup opportunity; run those three rooms three weeks apart, run your veg to fill one every three weeks... and use water chilling cuz the same unit will cool the water for ask three rooms. Saves serious cash over buying an AC for each one.
