Yeah, for sure. I've never seen anything that beefy but that short. Feel free to keep me posted on your 4 auto's and good luck!

Germination is under way. Today is the 3rd day since the seeds entered the rockwool.
I had the domes covered with towels and black plastic for the 1st two days. Been keeping temps between 75 and 80. I really need a high germination rate as I want 84 in each tote.
Fingers crossed.
Chronic Thunder on the left.
Skunk #1 on the right.
Chronic Thunders are 12 hours older than the skunk #1.

What a difference a day makes. I'm having excellent results with this germination method. I hope to get all of these planted over the next day or 2.

If all goes well, 168. 84 in each bucket. 84 is how the math worked out with each plant have a 3 inch x 3 inch footprint.are you growing 200 plants bro? that's pretty cool

Wow what a beautiful sight...a clean baby ganja sea, way to go Digz. And from seed, no less. You beast.
Loved the variety round..nice to see the simplicity and evolution too though.
Those babies took that light from the beginning? They looked a bit over-powered, shying away a bit..
Like your germ set up tho, dude. How long were the times?

Seeds went into the rockwool on Saturday so 24 to 48 hours was the average for the seeds to pop. I have the 600 on 12/12 already but its about 4 feet away so I'm not concerned about it being too much light.

And I'll be following this thread, I'm stoked.
Looking to do a little organic sea after this round with DonPetro's new DIY LEDs .. you're helping me make my spacing decisions..
Hope this round is a dope blessing for you!
Mad Thunder Skunk combos
Edit
And 48 inches is a long way lol, cool.
And those are good times..I don't like paper towel.
Are they perkier now??
Looking forward to the grow,
DT

Thanks man, I appreciate it! I learned a lot on the 1st go around so trying to push the boundries on this one. What is it that most folks shoot for...1 gram a watt is when you're good, 1.5 and you're an expert and 2 is elite? Hoping to seriously exceed even those numbers.

1 gp-hps-w is a littler better than good, more like great. 0.75gpw is good. 2.0 is godlike
Anyway, interesting experiment. Always good to see people grow Skunk #1, beats many of its descendant and makes a good reference point. Google speescees 12/12 420 and check images results. Speescees ("spacecase") is a breeder (no mercy supplies) who has been promoting 12/12 from seed for as long as I can remember.

I'll look him up now. Skunk #1 was not my intended option. After the smoke reviews came in both Chronic Thunder and Skunk #1 were among the 6 voted in the top tier. Skunk #1 was my personal favorite too. It gave me the giggly type high like when I 1st started smoking so that was awesome. Chronic Thunder was in the top Tier as far as the growing traits and Skunk #1 just missed the cut and was in the 2nd tier. Had I been able to purchase 200 Chronic Thunder seeds I would have but Attitude could only fill an order for 100 so I chose Skunk #1 as my 2nd option. Both of these examples yielded well over the 10 gram per plant average that I am using as my expectations for this 2nd chapter so I feel pretty good about the decision.1 gp-hps-w is a littler better than good, more like great. 0.75gpw is good. 2.0 is godlike

Another note about grams per watt that I pay very close attention to is to incorporate time. If someone gets 1.5 gpw but it takes 6 months, then they are getting 3 grams per watt per year. 12/12 fs can afford as many as 4 cycles per year.

To continue along that previous thought, the next logical measuring stick becomes grams per kilowatt hour. 12/12 fs will be tough to contend with using this measurement as veg cycles will eat a lot of energy.

Diggity i love your work bro i was just thinking you are going to get some amazing phenotypes will you be taking any clones.... ? going to be hard to label all them all if you did
Hot Diggity Sog
Well-Known Member
Nah...unfortunately no clones but I have ordered some stuff....
Drum roll please....
Silver Nitrate and Sodium Thiosulfate.
Attempting to convert a female is beyond the scope of this 2nd experiment but I might try it anyway on one just to takes notes and learn.
The obvious obstacle in the path I'm going down is not only seed availability but cost so being able to create my own will become critically important.

As I'm thinking about this, I think taking clones on the best ones is brilliant. Reveg them, uses the STS on them and start the seed creation that way. Thanks Nerd, you just steered me on the right path!

Yeah thats a great plan bro if you can make your own seeds your going to save your self a lot of money and one plant can give you 100s of seeds so never hurts to try
I remember @ASMALLVOICE was doing it last i heard he might be able to help haven't see him around much at the moment though
