Yea the harlequin these were crossed with was the clone only from harborside.
I'm after the "golden goose" you could say of strains on this one.
Don't get me wrong I love to get high but I'm in it to find the best possible medicine I can for my wife.

Here's hoping they turn out well for you. I'm after the high CBD for a couple of cancer patients and if it's a good one I'll use any extra crop in my teas and edibles. For some reason I had it in mind that these would be low end producers but so far they're looking great for being in 2gal pots. Particularly the two stockier/branchy phenos and considering I didn't do any real training to them other than 1x FIM. I'm thinking the good phenos with some training and larger pots in later rounds should produce 3+ zip plants which would be acceptable.

I've noticed that bout mine as well groerr! They were the first to take roots out of the 36 I took. I'm really liking this strain so far. One is also extremely fruity and the other doesn't have much other then a fuely/hash undertone. It's like what you have been describing is what's in my brain with them lol.

Yeah sounds similar, mine were the first 4 of 12 in the first load and like a week ahead of the others as far as rooting. I'm hoping the fully smelling one changes or becomes more subtle as it matures, it's almost overwhelming how strong it smells, when I took them out this week to trim off any dead stuff and water them, I was looking around to see if I had spilled some gas, smelled like I had tipped over a gas can - lol.

Haha I've gotta change my clothes every time I come out of my flower room. It's bad. Sometimes I forget and go outside and the wind is just like and I'm holy shit what is that.

Lol, the Blue Dream I just pulled was like that (strong but sweet/blueberry smell). I made sure the day we were trimming that I didn't have to go anywhere or have visitors pop by, wholly stink batman!

Quick camshot update on each of the runs.

Top-Left, Main Veg Cabinet:
Camera angled downward toward the 3x 3Gal pots. Up-potted one of each of the better looking DIY seeds. They've been FIM'd, super-cropped and tied into shape. Bottom-right is the JTR, you see about 2/3 of the plant in the camshot. I super-cropped 3 branches today so it's looking rough, a week and it'll have bounced back and should shoot up a few more colas. I may go straight to a 7Gal as it's getting quite large, will give it another 1-2 weeks in the 3Gal. Still have the 2x Harlequin clones on the platform behind these, doing well. And 2x DIY seedlings that will likely be culled if I get at least 1 fem from the other 2x DIY seeds.

Top-Right, Clone Cabinet:
6 of the first batch of clones, all taking well, should be good to up-pot into 1gal fabric in 7-10 days. 4x THC Bomb (2 from each pheno), 2x Blue Dream. Behind them are another 4x Blue Dream that I dropped straight into soil, looks like all will root, will pick 4 of the best to do a 3x3 with 4x BD's in 5Gal pots. Have 2x Blue Pyramid clones just about ready for party cups, liking the look of this pheno so far, large, strong plant. Will run a second 4x 5Gal 3x3 with the best of 2x THC Bomb and 2x Blue Pyramid.

Bottom-Left, Flower Room:
1st 3x3 at front is just past 3 weeks, nice bud development, colas are shaping, should start seeing some small bud porn by next weekend. 2nd 3x3 is still stretching at just shy of 2 weeks in. Buds are now developing, should settle down the stretch this week. Will then tie them down and even out the canopy. Looks like they'll end up 8-10" higher than the 3Gal 3x3. All are healthy/strong and praying lights-on.

Bottom-Right, 2x2x4' Tent:
The 4x Harlequin's in 2 gal pots are loving the LED/CFL combo. buds are dense/tight, all levels are developing good size buds. They're at 5 weeks, 3 or so to go, lots of time to fatten up those buds/colas. Very healthy, no defs or sign of stress. Very easy grow so far. Looking like a decent yield from 4x 2gal fabric pots. Pheno #1 smells incredible and will be carrying on for sure.

Looking good brotha. I've been wanting to get some camera's for my 2 rooms. Just haven't had the funds lol. Spent a lot updating the whole setup and I'm hoping it was worth it. So far it's looking good.

Thanks giggles, those cams are handy but not priorities, a little at a time. Infrastructure upgrades will pay for the cameras later

I stopped getting updates from your thread for some reason - missed half the posts :X Still can't get over how dope your little surveillance set up is. I feel like it'd be shitty to take your idea but man who wouldn't love to walk around with live streaming fap material conveniently available on their cellular device 24/7 everyday all day ?

Hey ayr0n, thanks for stopping by. You can use them on your phone, I don't for security, if you're legal you're good though. Pretty handy for sure.

Talking about Cams, here's a full-screen shot of the flower room earlier tonight. 3x3's are budding up nice, lots of colas in that first 3x3, Day 26 so a coupe of strains are about 1/2 way through

They look so happy!

the girls are looking good - they're gonna fill out real n ice. Looks like you've really got that canopy under control. I like how you've got the colas spaced out nice and evenly , gettin some penetration down to the lower sections so they beef up too. I've really gotta get out into a bigger space like that. It's crazy to see how much more you can produce per plant when they're grown properly.

What kind of flooring is that?

They sell it for garage floors, meant to go right on concrete. It's heavy duty, spill resistant vinyl, about 3/16" thick, durable and easy to wash/clean. HD sells it in different roll sizes, bought one that could cover the whole room and cut it to size. Cheers.

Thanks ayr0n, those one's at the back are 15 days in and still stretching, going to get out of control but popping lots of bud sites

The trellises are working out great for positioning the colas and opening up the centre, getting a second level canopy and nice size buds. I'm finding them good for tying them up until about 30" tall. The first 3x3 at the front runs 24-27" and is pretty even considering 4 strains/6 plants. The second at the back I'll have a bit of a time with, it's well over 30" now and will stretch more. May not bother tying them down, just spreading them out to get light through. Cheers

A closer look at the Harlequin's in the 2x2 tent, Day 38 of 12/12, 2 weeks or so left. Cruise control time, just frosting, ripening and fattening up the buds now. These have been a pleasure to grow, no problems whatsoever. Been feeding them steady @550 ppm, they've been in a feed-feed-water cycle. They got water last night so now it'll be feed-feed-water-feed-water for the last 5 waterings. Didn't have to tie down those taller colas, they're heavy enough they're leaning now so will just position them and use their own weight to keep them from hitting the lights

Pheno #1 (front-left with main cola in the centre) is like a subtle fruity perfume smell, definitely a keeper, have never smelled anything like it. Pheno #2(front-right) is loosing some of that strong fuel smell (not a big fan of that smell) so may be a keeper after all if it leans more towards that underlying lighter perfume smell. Last couple of weeks it smelled like pheno #1 but someone had dumped a gas can over it. The other 2 phenos at the back weren't keepers anyhow due to the plant/growth structure and they hardly have any smell, both are pretty well identical. Looks like at least 3 phenos if anyone tries these, tall/lanky/stretchy with little smell and sparse bud sites, shorter one with some side branching and that incredible smell, and short/stocky/branchy with that same smell and a stronger fuel smell over it.

Last pic picked up some purple LED light from the cloner just outside the tent, highlights the frost nicely:


Cheers

Trying to sex these two DIY seedlings. Any opinions welcome, will have to make a decision soon as they're getting quite large. I may collect some pollen if one turns out male to back-cross later. Should have the tent available in about 2 weeks or so if needed for collecting some pollen.

The first is the PPP x Blueberry (Blue Power Plant), thinking this one could go either way right now?


Second is the JTR x Blueberry (Blue Ripper), pretty sure this one's a fem


Cheers

I concur, good eye. I use a scope to sex them early, ie. as early as the first pair of white pistils show. Grats Groerr, it's a girl

Thanks guys, I missed those little one's on the first one! Seeing a few on the JTR x Blueberry, looks like I got me a couple of babes Nice, they're looking great from a plant structure perspective (the other 2 look like crap so time to cull I think). Time to FIM again, already super-cropped, should be a good size and lots of colas by the time I flower them Better pop some more seeds and find a couple of horny males to mate later

I've got some really nice Harlequin x Maui stud juice
