I'm in! Now to decide what to pop!
I'm going to go 4x DIY regs and 1x commercial fem seed which I haven't decided on yet, still lots of time to decide. My luck in that comp has not been the greatest, I didn't pay enough attention last time and got a couple of shit seeds and burnt/dried out 2 that popped by not watering them in time. They dry out quick under the CMH, will have to focus a bit more this round. I've had nothing but fems from my DIY's, but in the comp I'll probably pull 4 males - lol

Well, been a busy couple of weeks, couple of harvests, focused on reloads and selecting some plants for the next couple of rounds.

Everything's back in full swing and humming along smoothly again.

Top-Right, clone/seedling station:
Have one Blue Dream clone in there, just about to start training it. 2x DIY Blue Power Plant indica phenos, culled the smaller one. Will run these 2 until I can sex them and decide which to run where at that point. Hoping to get a male, one of each would be great. Out of view are a couple of Harlequin and DIY clones from the larger plants that just went into the flower room. The seedlings and smaller clones that just went in will build the runs 3 and 4 cycles out. The Blue Dream clone and 2 others in the veg cabinet will run 2 rounds out.

Top-Left, Veg Cabinet:
All plants in here are still in 1 gal, will be up-potting them in the next week. 2x Blue Pyramids, really liking this plant and smoke, strong blueberry kush smell and taste, even samplers with no cure taste great. Started training them harder this round, they like to have a single main cola, trying to see if super-cropping them I can get some more off-shoots going. There's 1x THC Bomb, after curing a bit this pheno was not bad, good punch, keeping it going one more round. 1x Blue Dream and the other 3 will build the next round. They'll run in 3 gal pots. There are 2x Blue Dream clones which will run with a 3rd BD clone in the smaller cabinet, those will go 2 weeks later in 5Gal pots.

Bottom-Right, Tent:
This was just flipped to 12/12 3 days ago. Had a bunch of clones in 1gal pots, too many, selected the best to veg and threw the rest in the tent to flower. 3x THC Bomb's, 3x Blue Dream's, a mini 1Gal SOG in a 2x2. I've pulled 6.4 zips from 2x 3gal, 4.9 zips from 4x 2gal, interested to see what 6x 1gal can pull and it's good use of some extra clones.

Bottom-Left, Flower Room:
Day 16 and Day 5 for the 2x 3x3's. The shorter one in 3Gal's is building up buds/colas, pretty well finished stretching now. The larger 3x 5 gal plants are starting to stretch fast now, noticeable difference in the last coupe of days. I'll end up having to move that light up in a week or so to keep the 20" height above the canopy. All are healthy, happy and praying, good start for these runs.

These DIY sat-dom phenos in the 5gal's are 9 days in and starting to show small flowers. They also share a trait that I hadn't noticed on the PPP x Blueberry, I had noticed it early on the JTR x Blueberry. They both have 9 point leaves around their dominant colas. The rest of the plants have 7 point leaves, only the main colas have 9 points. Tried to capture both, the PPP x BB is difficult to capture, the smallest set of points are tiny. Easy to see on the JTR x BB.

The JTR x BB also smells strong of Blueberry and has purple leaf stems, and noticeable purple stripes on the stalks, these stripes seem pretty common on strains with BB in them.

Thanks, very cool, liking the colours on the JTR x BB, hoping that passes through to the flowers :) This is the first strain I've grown that has these 9 point leaves and both crosses have them, must have come through from the BB male as neither JTR nor the PPP fems had them.

I've seen the stems go from pink to purple-red and back according to how low the temps are.

It's in ime more environment than genetics, I always have, indica and sativas alike, at least 9 fingers on some fans, often some 11, and had 13 as well. I simply put associate it with happy plants that got ample light. The plants that sort of get stuck at 7 or even 5 leaflets, plants I have under T8 or under cloudy daylight behind a window, throw 9-11 fingers under HPS. Plants that are really abused, drowned, have way too little light, sometimes even stick to 3 leaflets. It's obviously partly genetics (that what is influenced by the environment) but if it's really something it inherited from a parent, it's likely not that it inherited DNA code for 9-fingers specifically but DNA that contributes to it being a healthy vigorous plant. In this case however credit doesn't all go to the genetics but also the grower dialing in the setup. In any case, I consider it a good sign in addition to being an aesthetically pleasing trait :)

It makes sense that the environment would play a part. I think it has to be there genetically but the environment will bring out or suppress certain traits like colours. Makes sense too right now my lights off temps are hitting a low of 62/64F in there. The colours weren't quite as noticeable even towards end of veg but the veg cabinet rarely goes below 68F. I do like any sort of different expressions/mutations

Reason I think it has to be there in the genetics is the JTR sitting beside them is in great shape but hasn't expressed any additional colours and the leaves are consistently 7 fingers on that pheno.

Exactly, and that goes for many observable traits, trait being phenotype and phenotype being genotype+environmental influences. The more plants with a particular set of genes (genotype) that express a certain phenotype/trait, the higher the "penetrance" and the more the trait expresses in a given pheno, the higher the "expressivity" (considering our posts on googling in Ayr0n's thread figured I mention those).

I do like any sort of different expressions/mutations.
Me too, I enjoy the observing the morphology of plants, especially if it's out of the ordinary but consistent.
