How big is that pot again?
I've seen greengenes grow comparison of the AT600 vs 1000 watt hps, and he has had some very good results, and I'm hearing TONS about the Area51 leds. I'll probably go with those and start a journal as soon as possible :)

I would not leave them all in a single container like that. You can end up with root contention and if you end up getting a male or have to pull one for any reason, you will end up with rotting roots that can wreck havoc on the rest of the plants.

With that many strains you can also have different growth rates and different feeding requirements to properly take care of them.

Just my .02

I've done bed and mixed container grows several times in the past with great success, and no problems. In Hydro, as well as Soil.

The grower just has to know what strains he/she is dealing with and their characteristics..

All my seeds are feminized, so you obviobviously didn't even read..

Different growth rates wont matter because its a SCRoG..

Root-Bind can only happen if there isn't enough space,... which there is.
2.5 gallons /plant is more than enough for less than a 3 month harvest.

H202 Prevents Root-Rot

So yes these are alI reasons to be cautious with a mixed container grow, However, none are reasons why one shouldn't grow in mixed beds, just extra steps one takes to make sure that everything goes as planned.
Obviously not for the novice grower, but its not impossible, nor even hard to achieve great results, with a little precautionary action.

Start of Week 1


Starting Week 1 tonight,
Going to cut them back from 24hrs to 20/4.

Starting to harden them off by slowly decreasing the humidity, down to 60% for now

Getting some red veins, which means my soil is hot with nutrients , so I just need to water with plain clean, ph'ed RO h20, and continue with a light feeding schedule.

Still feeding on BioRoot, but getting the GO Line sometime this week.
Not too concerned, because between everything in the super soil, and the BioRoot supplement, they have as much as they need to eat, whenever they need it, at least for the time being.

Pictures in clockwise order:
NLxSK

NLxBB

Crazy Miss Hyde (being crazy.. , with her past deficiency, now visible)

The Sweet Dreams PR Twins

Bluedream

And little baby Trainwreck
*choochoo!*

Well the Gen Hydro schedule calls for 4 different bottles of nutes right now at week 1,but the girls are telling me they have plenty to eat for the moment, so ill be going another week or maybe even two before synchronizing with the GH Schedule, and ill start off at half dose of everything to bring them up slow.
Less is usually more when it comes to feeding nutrients.

Ending week 1,

The girls are looking super great, especially the NLxSK(last pic) . However, the NLxBB(first pic) seems to be coming out a little WONKY... it did the same thing in hydro last time I grew it.. but everyone else is doing great, so I'm guessing itll sort itself out as it did last grow.

Watering daily, feeding every other day with BioRoot, 1.1.1

Humidity at 50%
Temp 73F.


Kicking back and watching them bang out their first stacks! bongsmilie

Start of week 3:

Didn't see any need to update last week, as everyone is still looking nice and fed!

Still only feeding 1-2tbs/g of BioRoot, as they all are still getting plenty from the soil.

Not sure what to do about that deformed SWPR twin... guess ill just let it go haha. Not sure what caused it... maybe from being in the same original germination container? That would be my only guess.... but it seems to be adapting just fine...
I guess its already angled for SCRoG! bongsmilie

Lmao been quite awhile since my last update:eyesmoke:

Everyone is bangin out. Doing excellent! I've supercropped, lst'd, FIM'd, and I just put my screen on yesterday! :mrgreen:

Screen is made of 2x4(all I had around), screws, nylon coated garden fencing with 2x3" holes, and wire tie.
-suspended by rope ratchets for adjustability.

Plants are at about week 7 of veg:joint: going to let them go for another couple weeks, then flip.

Just hit Week 1 of flower;

Did a solid lollipopping, and changed to my HPS bulb.

I also turned my ballast up to 400w, and added a dehumidifier to bring RH down to 30-40%

Added the required dose by Gen Hydro's schedule of "Subculture B", sprayed with Azamax, and ill be adding Blackstrap Molasses to my waterings, tomorrow. bongsmilie

Ill continue to scrog for the next week, and then let them grow up:bigjoint:

Lol that fish tank in the corner is an Aquafarm! :cool:
I took some cuttings, and dropped them in; they're staying alive and green, but not growing.. I don't think the water has enough nutes haha but it was just an experiment :dunce:
my betta fishies name is Pablo Escobar! :eyesmoke::rolleyes:;)

Week 2 of flower.

Things are going great,
I sprayed with a super light Seaweed Spray right after the Azamax at the end of last week(^ week 1^) and got a wonderful lush green up right as they're starting to build their flowers:bigjoint:

Added Dr. Earth's Metabolic Transformer. (Feeds and multiplies the microbe-community)
-we just got it in, at the hydro shop my family owns. Its quite a bit late to probably really see any difference but why not try it out, right?

Getting some good stretch, and not too much:D. I think I'm going to have some decent sized spears in this bush:weed:

In week 6 now, but here are some pics of week 5.

Going slightly Nitro def. So I brewed up a Nitro-Heavy flowering compost tea.
I used:
Fox Farm "High P" Guano, 050
Florablend, .5,1,1
Dr. Earth's Seaweed Extract, 005
Molasses
DrEarths Metabolic Transformer
Fox Farm's Boomerang, 2, .2, .3
Bio Weed .2, 0, .3
Subculture B

Girls are greening back up a touch, and getting back on track.

The oils and aromas at this point are simply amazing
