Ordered some girls from the Doc, 5 fems + 1 bagseed female. I grew the bagseed out while I waited and flowered it, with a even older dad that is now dead. These are the 6 I will grow out as testers and will pull clones to veg while they flower for selected mothers, remaining clones will flower out to be forgotten.
seeds delivered/planted bagseed: 5/21
received seeds/germed: 6/13 (friday the 13th lol)
5 FD girls are ten days old. The girl in this second picture has been yellow from day 1 as a seedling, I can't get it as lush green as the rest, same treatment for all. Seems more Sativa as well, I think it will be a tall girl. It's really neat seeing all these different strains growing out, shame I don't know the names I just have a list of the 14 possibilities.
1 BS lady is 4 weeks old and has shown sex, also set back into veg (18/6) and tied down today.
I had a larger BS male, was infested in spider mites, nasty. flowered outside long enough to collect pollen, dead... along with the 4 rooted clones from this guy.
Gladly I was able to get rid of the spider mites as soon as I found them, they showed up once I switched the lighting cycle. Strong hosing down and a no pest strip for a night and I haven't seen one since
Last picture is of hydro cloner for new ladies to be flowered out in 5gal dutch bucket system. This cloner, it's twin and room for the two selected mothers will be in the top veg chamber as soon as these ladies are big enough to pick a few off. 400w of fluros in the top and 2x(400w hps) in the lower flower chamber
Buckets are 2 and 3 gallon. I haven't started feeding anything but phed water as of yet.

Update. I know it's only been a few days but it's my journal
So the small seemingly pure Indica in the back right is probably either: (picture 3) Dutch Delight (seriously hope so) Nepal Kush (rather not have this one)
The indica dominant in the back left possibilities: (picture 2) G-force (Would like this one) Blueberry Skunk (would also like this one)
Edelweiss (no thanks)
The other three that are 50/50 or more sativa:
Voyager, Dame Blanch, Amsterdam Mist, Skunk Classic, Power Skunk(I/s?), Flying Dragon or White Widow.

So 20 days from germ, around 16 days from sprouting.
Major growth and 2 are already showing pre-flowers, kind of early I think.
the larger one that I am tying down around the pot is probably going to be moved to a 5 gal bucket soon, the rest following shortly there after. The leaves seem thin and smaller, not sure if this is the strain or because it's now tied down and distributing horizontal or a def.?
Back left still small, stocky and dark green and now reeks of skunk, I surely am thinking Blueberry Skunk or I hope.

So here are some pictures, They have been moved around since the last post. 16 days since I went 12/12. I moved the light up a couple inches when I changed it and a couple stretched a little but don't think nothing major.
Bagseed seems leafy, not sure how it will fill out but think it should have some nice buds, the front right one reminds me of WW already has quite a bit of triches down the leaves. The skunky stinking back left one didn't stretch and is filling out gorgeously.
It's neat seeing six different strands at once. I should have a few more strains in the mail soon.
1. group shot
2. front right (mom 1)
3. #2 different cola
4. front center, previous back #1
5. back left (mom 2), my fav.
6. #5 top
7. bagseed
8. bagseed
9. bagseed w/ a friend
10. clones
11. Mom 2 topped to help bush out.
12. Mom 2
