NL and Jock Horror grow

Hey RIP,

You can call me Fish or Jem, started this grow from seed. I am on my 3rd week from germ and thought I would throw some pics up. If you have any comments or concerns please feel free. I don't have any questions right this moment but I'm sure I will. Oh and if anybody has that grow info template for me id appreciate it.

looking great so far keep em up!!

Look'n good.

Did you just water? The ones in back look droopy which can happen after watering. Also, you should find way to drain the tubs after watering. Standing water isn't the best thing to have around. Bugs, mold, etc...

Yeah had just watered they were still draining, I use a bucket head to vacuum out the excess after about an hour. Running 70/30 coco/perlite.

OK so was wondering should I transplant before Topping or top first then transplant? Going up to 3 gallon.

Wow, I just noticed you were talking about the back left and back right! Those are my Roma tomatoes I started inside this season from seed. The one on the far left of the last pic is a pepper plant.

So I am doing a little experiment, I have 8 plants out of 10 seeds (Northern Lights and Jock Horror) I transplanted 1 of each to 3gal equivalent air pots, 2 of each to 3 gal smart pots and 1 of each to 5gal smart pots. The 2 in air pots are being Mainlined for 8 colas the rest are being topped to maintain an even canopy until the Mainlined plants catch up. Which do you think will end up yielding more? End result being I will know which pot and pot size to go with next grow. I will post pics in a bit after the lights come on.

Thoughts? Obviously trying some different defoliation techniques.

Thats a lot of plants! Hopefully a few of them are male. Looking good so far!

I like your experimental approach. That's most of the fun for me. Trying different things all the time. If you really want to have some fun then try a GH Water Farm. 1 plant will blow out the sides of your tent then eat your light

I'm going t have to go with the 5 gallon yielding the most. It will be tough to say depending on phenotypes etc, .. 3 gallons are pretty good size for tent growing.. with 5 gallon watering will be less of a hassle... All of the above setups will work just fine. There is a saying "The bigger the roots the bigger the fruits."

I have some small seedlings in 1 gallon plastic grow bags right now. I topped them just once last week. I just flipped today. Once they show sex I'll put the females into 3 gallon smart pots. The males will go in my neighbors trash can down the street

Fem seeds so better not be any males. 8 girls in a 5x5x7 tent is too much? I've seen people pack in WAY more than that.

I thought it was a 4x4. That's gonna be perfect for a 5x5.

Thanks, I was going to do 6 and Veg a little longer but I couldn't bring myself to kill off 2 healthy plants when I had room for them. It's gonna be full in there but I plan to do a lot of defoliation so I have access underneath and to focus the energy on the tops.

Right on man, i'll keep an eye on your grow. Good luck with everything.

Just a little update, not much has changed other than me breaking a branch off of the JH Mainline plant. Got too aggressive with trying to obtain that 90 degree bend after the first top. Started too early and the 3rd node growth tips were not long enough (lesson learned). OK enough talk, on to the pics. Oh and please comment I'd like to know your thoughts.

One week later, thoughts? The last pic is of the broken Mainline plant I decided to FIM her, looks like she has atleast 6 tops. Do you think her one stalk will be able to support that?

Update, pretty much done with Veg other than tying some branches down. Gonna give it another week or so then flip to 12/12. Just fed them 5 gallons of 850-900ppm of GH trio plus Cal mag as I always do. Gonna have to up the watering/feeding to every other day as 5 Gal every 3rd day isn't giving me the runoff I want. Take a look and let me know what you think.

OK so a new update, all 9 original and 1 clone have been flipped to 12/12 as of June 27th so today is the 3rd week of flower. I worked them down from 20/4 an hour a day over a week using the MS for the first 2 weeks of 12/12. The Sativa Dom phenos are still stretching so still tucking them under the net to keep it all even, Indica doms have slowed down stretching and started packing on bud sites. Not much smell yet but the Carbon filter has been added to the exhaust and starting to see more and more trichomes forming everyday. Let me know what you guys think I'd like to hear your opinions. OK on to the pics!
