Nice! Which ones did you go with? I'd like to try out Qush, since I've been favoring the indica bud over the sativa. I have my radar set on GDP, Blue Kush (BOG), Sour Life Saver (BOG), and Alphadawg (Alphakronik). Alphakronik also is coming out with a "Willy Wonka" line. His Sincity Kush x Purple Urkle.

What a nice setup Shaggn! So clean in there man and those trays are perfect. How big is your tent? 4x4? I picked up the trays that are a little wider, but you could easily fit another in there to up yourself to 40 2liters. Looking forward to seeing your jungle expand. I have 30 myself right now.
edit:
Are you hand watering yours too? When they get to be a couple feet high, your backs gonna be hurting like mine

Thanks Doc Yes, the tent is a 4x4. Those trays are Omni 50L under bed storage. Actually the tent can hold 6 of the 25L prefectly, just don't have the xtra coin atm. Had 6 running sidebyside under 2 - 600 with parabolic hoods, in soil, but that is old news. Hempy is the way for me now!!! Not sure on optimal count for max yield before loss, will find out as we gro along 
Already suffer from a bunch of ailments, back pain/problems being a major. I will prolly be putting together a feeder wand that I can set the amount to come out, so I don't get to much run off. Have to resort to pain for meds for now. Peace!!

Not sure if its an option for either of you but I just elevated my res so that it gravity feeds to where ever. I just used the 1/2 and 3/4 in hydro farm rubber grommets, connectors, and 10' of hose. I just flood my table with my air pots when i want to clean and re-fill my reservoir at the same time. You could just elevate a 5 gal bucket or a roughneck for a bit more water.
Its cheap, easy and nothing to it. Just a thought for ya anyway.

I ended up getting Ace of Spades, Plushberry and The Flav, some of the freebies seem interesting enough that are coming too. I had hoped I would have been able to get Qurekle but funds were low. GDP is on the screen but everyone was out of it.

Prepping for transplant tomorrow, 2 Barney's Farm LSD's (18days old in hempy party cups) get transplanted to their new 2gal homes tomorrow with Grodan grow-chunks as the medium. As you know I just ditched my newest grow with BF Blue Cheese..all were stunted...couldn't take Canna nutrients with even the light mix. Funny thing is these BF LSD seeds were purchased at the same time and they are only slightly more tolerant. ??? Who knows why...every thing I've done with successful grows in the past has been anally and painstakingly reenacted here. This stuff burns over anything, even with Canna "Start" after 7 days of normal RO water after sprouting. It's the gentlest stuff on earth for young ones... I could ditch these too and drop seeds now from another breeder but, in my experimental departure from standard hempy mediums, if these eventually kick ass it will mean something.
Here are 3 LSD's, all were sprouted in "Rapid Rooters",.... one was put in a hempy cup of Grodan mini-rockwool cubes and the other two in coco hempy cups. As you can see the largest one is in the mini-cubes with hydroton balls atop to keep them from drying so fast......it's not statistically sound to say the rockwool is better during initial start-up simply because of the size difference...it actually burned more than the coco girls too. To move forward however, I'll pick the two coco youngsters since they will be evenly matched size wise once they see the flower tent..
Here's the rockwool grow chunks in the 2g pre-charge buckets. I soaked them in ph water for 8 hours today. I drained them in a bucket drilled with 1/8" holes in the bottom (great for perlite or hydroton douches too), then gave them a dunk in 450ppm nutes as a pre-charge like I did on the "mapito" grow. I'll show the transplant particulars tomorrow as I do it.

I grew Barney's LsD for almost a year (Soilless - Promix). They were very problematic in the beginning but once they got a nice root system it wasn't to bad. A lil heads up for u, they will naturally have a droopy leaf (canoeing downwards), they get this look when they mature. Out of 5 beans, 3 that were kept were all relatively the same in characteristics. Only slight variances in stretch n yield. They didn't yield to well but the smoke was worth it!! Peace
Thank you for the reply as well as the rest of you guys. Did you tie her where you pinched or what? I just did it and she is just hanging over looking miserable...Should I tape it or just leave it be?

^boss man -
You could run a vertical stake from the pot to support that pinched stem. ... or .. you could leave it for a bit. .... the bend will callous-up a bit but when it starts to form a bud the weight will likely pull it down again (unless you stake). . At least now, your light can be focused on achieving a more even canopy.
If you don't mind me asking - How you doing on oscillating fans? ... I'm guessing you'll need a few from what I can discern. .. Do you have air blowing between the lights and plants? and also at plant level.
edit:
The fans help with general stem strength and health as well as moving the hot air away.

I only have regular bamboo stakes and of course that didnt keep it up and yes I have 3 fans blowing. 1 on the left&right side of the room and one mounted on the wall.^boss man -

Well I set my timers to 12/12. I still have a small amount of aphids. Have predator nematodes coming which i hope will keep numbers low through harvest. Also going to put up some fly stickies and prob use some hotshot strips. My seed plants are 3 months old and quite ready to flower and my cuttings were tiny to start but have hada three week veg. All pots have roots in reservoir and quite frankly its going to be a fucking jungle....especially with the blue dream pheno seed plants...maui wowie x dream...yikes! They are really greening up much nicer now that i have aphids knocked back and i switched from powder maxibloom and am using all 3 parts of GH liquid nutes micro bloom and grow. I would have liked to give them a few more weeks to get real healthy but im running out of good smoke and the plants are big.
Pics soon.
To completely eradicate my aphids I may end up doing an NFT run after this crop from clean cuttings (nft is my strong point) I will make sure to bring in some perlite hempys though so i can keep posting here lol!

Thank Shaggin, great to see a WOH member has experience with this, now I feel better about moving forward with the LSD. I keep telling myself...."just get them in the big bucket and they will explode". Hopefully I can work on that yield.

Jela10, thanks for pioneering the grodan cubes. I know you purchased them by mistake, but they seem to be working out great! I wished the Blue cheese would have responded better. How are the cubes at retaining water? Do you have anything else at the res or just the cubes? Im trying to get rid of all my perlite so I can give coco a try. I'm experimenting with OC+, so a lot of us WOH pioneers are testing new methods for the bettering our beloved method.
Look forward to watching them grow. You're in for another sativa blast. Those LSD's are suppose to be really high in THC. If anyone can maximize yield, you've certainly proved you are the master with that pineapple express!
Shaggn, how much did they stretch on you?

I know I changed the avatar. It like a profile pic, they all change in time. I was feeling left out with all the glorious bud shots. I jumped on the wagon temporarily.

Dank, yes, I wanted more of the little 1/2" cubes and was mistakenly sent the grow chunks @ 3/4"-7/8"....no biggy, my recent mapito grow saw larger chunks than that. As with the mapito, I'm not putting anything different down in the res (no division in root structure as my coco grows experienced. As far as moisture retention, while rinsing, and straining, I noticed a great deal of almost instant drainage. Cubes up high in the drain bucket got airy and light real fast while cubes down low stayed moist. This medium would be perfect for a drip system or DWC. I will be putting hydroton clay balls atop the buckets to keep the upper layers from drying out so fast. I also want the balls to spread the water pattern of my gravity fed watering rings (halos). I just got through washing of my balls...two days of rinsing and no more grit or brown in the rinse water. Gotta have clean balls!
If this strain takes off after transplant I'll start a separate thread with lots of pictures so I don't clog up WOH too much.

My seeds have arrived and I'm not sure what to do? how do u start a hempy plant?

There are a few ways to start your seeds. you can soak some starter plugs like rockwool in pH'd water (I like it around 6.0) or you can go with Jiffy pucks or Rapid Rooters. Either way you get them moist (not soaking wet) place the seed in them (POINTED END DOWN). Place them in a container that has a lid and put them in a warm dark space. Check them daily until all have popped up then add light.
You can also fold a paper towel in quarter, soak and ring most of the water out, place the seeds between the folds and put the towel in a baggie. Place in a dark warm space and check daily, once you see a small white tail, you can gently place them (root down) into a rockwool or Rapid Rooter or jiffy puck even soil if you like. Keep them in a container like above, moist and humid wait till they are all up and add light.
Once you see you have some good roots coming out of what you put them in you can trans plant to a cup or pot your choice. (I save time and go directly to the pot they will live in and harvest from.) You will need to water everyday (DO NOT GIVE ANY NUTRIENTS), once you see good growth you can transplant again to a bigger container and then begin nutrients at a 1/4 strength.

well the dinafem tin did great for the cheese seeds, the bagseed I had when they sprouted I put them in Jiffy pots and into the hydro tank till they had roots, then to solo cups whit hempy/soil, not much then into hempy buckets...
