Well I sucked it up and cut down the plants...

Actually I threw two of them outside (1 of each, Skywalker and Jolumbo). If they recover sweet! I can take clones. If they die... well its time to try some different strains anyway. In the meantime I am going to clone my tomatoes to make sure my cloner is dialed in. Then I'll be popping some fat purples (hazeman seeds) and perhaps taking up some offers from the kind folks in this community.

Cloner is ready to rock. Took some clones of Super Sweet 100 Tomatoes and Super Steak. Don't judge. This is to make sure I have everything dialed back in again. Those hempys really took a shot at my confidence. The second the tomatoes pop roots, they are out. I have a sativa pack that is feminised that I am going to start with (Super Silver Haze, Hawaiian Snow, White Rhino, Big Bud, Lemon Skunk). This is an old pack so whatever pops, pops. After that I will keep the best 2 and add the Fat Purples and Sweet Haze (something like that) both by Hazeman Seeds.

@Mohican can you send me your seed list?

Well we got roots. So I'll setup the veg unit this week and pop the seeds I have. Next run will be 5 different strains

Edit. Six strains I'll pop one of the sugar haze well. I am 0rerty sure they will all finish about the same time but we shall see.

Awesome bro! Never underestimate your experience. You got this man. That's great cloning tomatoes, for all I know that's harder than mj? I've never thought to clone veggies but u just convinced me :)

I will start building the veg unit today. Get the top painted and then should be ready for seeds by the end of the week. Should be a fun round. My lease is also up in October so it'll be a mad dash if we decide to move.

Finally got around to doing the Veg unit. I decided not to glue anything on the inside just for ease of breakdown. Buuuuutttt I forgot about a slip connection on the outside for the drainage. Luckily did some testing while I was flushing everything with bleach water and caught the leak. Glued up that peace and we are now good to go.

Will have some company over tonight so it'll be a day or two before I pop the seeds I have and transfer the tomatotes to dial in the veg unit. After that will be building the flower unit, etc.

Plan is to clone everything that pops, label it and then weed out the keepers once their moms go into flower. Basically starting over from scratch so I hope I have some good beans here. That is the only issue with not getting a clone from a trusted friend. I have no idea what these are going to do.

Here is my strain selection sheet. I was going to do just the highlighted ones but I may pop everything just because I don't think everything will be viable. Basically I will do one of each and hope that the Fat Purple and Sugar Haze turn out Female since they are the only normal seeds I have.

Nice seed chart, I like your organization. Good luck on finding a keeper out of the batch, the hHawaiian snow sounds nice.

That is the one I really want to run. But I don't know how the hell to do it since it runs about a month longer than anything else I have. I may just save that one until after I move or renew our lease.

Edit: Just did the Math And If I flower by 6/29 I'll have just enough time to finish before the lease comes to an end. Harvest Day about 9/7 - 9/14. So I won't have time for the Hawaiian any way.

Will be popping seeds tomorrow to see if we can get this going! Whew, Now I have a goal and a date!

Shit I may not have enough time to veg though. hrmmmm. Should I just say fuck it and go for it?

Go for it... Maybe smaller yield but it'll let you try the flavors before your big run in the fall

Totally Agree. Hopefully everything is similar in feeding because there is only one Rez. I think I am just going to keep PPM's low for this first run. I have the tester tomatoes around 900 right now and PH'd to 5.9. I may check it this week just to see where it swung too. I learned a long time ago not to check Ph daily otherwise you'll go insane, haha.

Personally and this may totally be wrong but I think it is beneficial to let the PH swing a bit. I'm not talking 4.0 to 9.0 every other second, but more inside of the good range swing i.e. 5.5 - 6.2 ish. Especially since different nutes are available both lower and higher then 5.8 (which is my target).

I like mine to swing too. 5.5-6. 0

5.5 picks up manganese and 6.0 picks up everything else. Any higher than 6.0 you'll start locking out potassium, iron and boron.

Since fresh water tends to have a rise in pH, I set mine to 5.5 and a day or 2 later iit's at 6.then I set it to 5.6 and it usually takes one more jump to 6, then set one more to 5.8 and it stays til I do a res change

Oh also, I only do a res change every 3 weeks. So when I do add backs with fresh water, that will slowly raise pH too, which is good. 8-)

I used to do a res change every week but man that is such a pain in the ass. My plan this time was to go about 3 weeks before changing.

Also @AlphaPhase what size rez are you running?
