----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had the good fortune to come across TGA Subcool's re-released, limited edition SpaceDawg ( http://tgagenetics.com/strain2.php?id=24 ). SpaceDawg is a 25/75 indica dominant hybrid that crosses Super Snowdawg (Bubble Chem x Super Skunk X Oregon Sno) with Space Queen (Romulan x C-99). Our patients request more indica dominant strains and I fucking love TGA's Space Queen influence so I popped all 5 beans on 04/09 to look for some killer keeper phenos... Word.

This Test Pheno Run: 1 gallon hard pots, Sunshine Mix4 soil, BotaniCare Nutrients at 75% strength, fluorescent and 1000W lightning.

So this is my last time using my old method of germination, soaking for 24-36 hours in a shot glass of mineral water until they crack and then putting the seeds in soil cups. SUCCESS! We got 5 for 5 which is standard for us with TGA

and put them into soil. Once they surfaced and sprouted some leaves, we tagged them with #'s 1 through 5, 1 being strongest and 5 being slowest growing at this very early stage. *From now on we will be using Subcool's Rapid Rooter and Shoebox method for germination.

We kept our 5 phenos in 18 oz soil cups for about 3 weeks under 18-hour fluorescent lighting before transplanting to 1 gallon pots and moving to 18-hour MH lightning at about week 4. At week 7 we topped all 5 and will veg for 1 more week before flipping to 12/12 under our HPS lighting.

All 5 phenos look absolutely amazing, ranging in size from 6"-9" with vibrant green colors and perfect branching every 1/2" - 1". The stems are really thick and should support substantial weight without issue. The leaves are all 7 and 9 fingered with each plant having 10-12 solid heads after topping. I will reduce these down to 4-6 tops before flower since we will be running these in 1 gallon pots throughout and I want to direct the energy accordingly.

Let's look at some images of TGA's SpaceDawg before and after topping...

SpaceDawg #1: taller, 9", 10 head, 7 fingers

there is a lot to be said with the lessons learned in limited space situations.....i started in a 2 x 2 closet....led me to bonzai, and serious canopy control, then main-lining, extremely valuable lessons aplicable to many different situations.......problem solving is a serious geek for me....
