12/12 From Seed Experiment - 21 Strains

Temps in the room are 75 lights on. I did have the lights a little close perhaps so I raised both of them up several inches. I tested the ph runoff from yesterday's watering and it was 6.0. Since I haven't really ever flushed these tubs i just ran a bunch of tap water thru the skunk tub. My tap water is 7.0 and 147 ppm. Runoff today was 722 ppm at 6.0...lol. i think this will help and next water might be tap water again ph'd to 6.

I just flushed the CT tub in the same way and run-off for this one was only 525 so the CT's are eating more than the Skunk #1's...not surprising based on the maturity. Don't think I can continue watering both tubs the same but no biggie...almost done.

On a side note, my first of three orders from Attitude arrived for the next round.

What strains did you get?

Chapter 2 Update
Day 112
Flowering Day 69
Chronic Thunder Tub ~ 50 Plants
Skunk #1 Tub ~ 50 Plants

I removed 7 Charlie Brown plants and this is pretty much what I will end up with...50 out of 86 in each tub. Some of the Skunk #1's are swelling massively. I'm probably going to start slowing harvesting them in a few days. The Chronic Thunders have quite a bit of time left. Some of the CT's are getting massive...really massive. Like 12 inch colas or longer and 4 inches in diameter.

haha...sweet! They were my best yielders in Chapter 1.

Chapter 2 Update
Day 114 Part #1
Flowering Day 71

Chronic Thunder Tub ~ 49Plants
Skunk #1 Tub ~ 49 Plants

This will be a 2 part update as I have a lot of pictures to share. Many of the Skunk #1's are swelling nicely and I plan on starting to harvest them beginning Wednesday. The Chronic Thunders are still growing but have not started to swell. Once they do, there are going to be some giants....not a lot but some.

I rotated the Skunk #1 tub 180 degrees so the 1/2 that were under the MH mainly are now under the HPS and vice versa.

These first pictures are group and canopy shots. The follow-up will be some close-ups. It's very easy to tell what is what. The Chronic Thunders have many more pistols than the Skunk #1's and the Skunk #1's have way more resin.

Chapter 2 Update
Day 114 Part #2
Flowering Day 71

Some random close-ups. Most are of Skunk #1's but one or two CT's in here too.

wow looking great

Hey Hot Diggity, awesome grow/experiments! Its really cool to see all the testing you have done and the plans you have for more in the next grow. Round two I think was slow due to the chilly start, but I bet it comes out well in the end My apologies if I missed it, but is there a reason you are not considering clones, or a separate veg area? It would add watts but cut down time in your flower area so grams per kilowatt hour should still be OK.

you said the skunk was the overall winner right? how about calyx to leaf ratio? a lot of these plants look to have a bit more leaf than Id like to see in the bud, are both strains like that?

Thanks guys. All of the top half of the plants were harvested yesterday and today. Much of the bottom half on most is garbage and I'll probably just throw away. All in all I have mixed feelings. The overall appearance is sub-standard. Not really sure what to expect for the yield. I'll take a bunch of pictures during this last phase and be sure to share.

Oh...and Attitude order #2 of 3 arrived today safely. Just one more to go and it cleared customs so I should be good.

It's really a mixed bag but yes...many have very poor calyx to leaf ratio.

The only reason I have not considered that for now is space, the amount of time involved and the quantities I would need. Right now I'm only focused on process. I gotta get a reproducible technique/style that is going to get me my 2+ grams per watt at no more than 95 days start to finish. After I do that, home made fem seeds or clones will come into the picture. Right now, I don't mind dumping a few grand into seeds but longer term that will become cost prohibitive.

Chapter 3 will be starting in a couple of weeks. This will be a drastically different approach to growing and I will be creating a new journal for it.

Hey HDS, do you have a list of all your tested strains with traits and your ratings on same in one list? I appreciate all the work you are doing here, it will help me in my seed selection.
2+ GPW a nice goal.

The Grow Tier is a number between 1 and 3 with 1 having the best growing traits and 3 is the worst. The criteria was calyx to leaf ratio, ease of trim, height (extremely tall was penalized), resin, yield, and just general overall appearance.

The smoke tier represents reviews from 2 blind testers. So when you you see 1/2, one reviewer graded it 1 (the best) and the other a 2 (average)
