Latest pics from the flower room, things are progressing nicely, Day 34 and Day 12 for the two batches. Pulled the small 1gal pollinated Blue Ripper, it was more than done and should give me a good batch of F2's to hunt through. The LED tent which hasn't been running much is going to get quite a work out for the next few months testing pheno's 
The Blue Pyramid only has 2 weeks left on it, I've typically pulled that pheno around Day 49, smelling like hash nugs already
Newer batch is now flowering and pretty well done with stretching, will even the canopy and move the light to it's final height tonight.

Damn you cali folks with your Xmas outdoor! I'm jealous
You could decorate that tree!Those 3 buds right there are my current go-to strains, JTR and Blue Ripper during the day/evening or when I need to get shit done, Blue Pyramid late night or when I just want to get couch-locked. Cheers...

Next round coming up, both in 7gal, about 2 1/2 weeks left to train and veg. Left is 1st gen clone of the new Blue Ripper pheno, right is the first pheno. They'll get one more round of super-crops this week, then FIM all the tops and let them settle in before flowering.

Cam tour of the ops. Have all rooms/tents running. Keeping a bunch of seedlings and clones going in different spots while waiting for the flower room in 2 weeks or so. Fired up the 2x2x4 tent and transplanted a Blue Ripper 2, the indica-dom pheno into a 10gal, will veg and train it for 5 weeks, should be a nice plant.
Top-Left: Veg Cabinet, top view of one half with 3x 1gal plants. Bottom/center is a Blue Ripper male, have some clones of it rooting, will cull the 1gal once they're rooted. Top-left is a very nice smelling Fire OG, pretty sure it's a fem, either way I'll grow it out, collect pollen if it's a male. Top-right is a very nice potential keeper of an F2 seedling BPP or Blue Power Plant (PPP x Blueberry), again if it's male I'll collect the pollen. Stem rub smells very strong of skunky blueberry.already. Out of sight are 2x nice looking Fireballs in party cups, they'll go into 1gal's in the next few days. A 1gal Blue Ripper sat-dom pheno clone and another decent smelling BPP F2 seedling in 1gal.
Top-Right: Veg Tent has one of each pheno of Blue Ripper, both in 7gal pots. They're recovering and generating growth from some super-crops and will FIM all the tops again in a few days. They have 2 weeks before flowering so they'll end up filling the tent wall-wall. These will likely be the largest plants I've flowered indoor by the time they flip
Bottom-Right: 2x2 Tent. Fired up the small tent until the larger veg tent is available. Swapped out the COB light for one of the LG LED panels, pulls 140w at the plug so good coverage. This is a Blue Ripper 2 clone in 10gal, just transplanted it today,.it'll veg/train for 5 weeks, should be huge.
Bottom-Left: Flower Room is full and smelling great, week 6 and week 3. Both batches are doing well, lots of bud in there, about 3' x 7' between the 2x 315w lights.
Cheers

Smoke report and observations on this new Blue Ripper pheno after a couple of weeks of cure. This is an indica-leaning pheno, much larger/fatter leaves and the blueberry really comes through in comparison to JTR-leaning look of the original sat-dom pheno. The blueberry smell takes right over in comparison to more of a fruity/lemon smell on the sat-dom pheno. Sweet to the point of almost sweet-fuel smell when I open the curing tin. Typically after some cure the smell gets milder/smoother but this one continues to stink up the room when I open the tin.
In a clean pipe test smell and taste transfers through when smoking it, again heavy on the blueberry side and even with some cure it's still a lung buster, holding it in for any length of time and you're forced to exhale or cough, not from harshness, it's just a strong punch you can't hold in too long.
Stone is a nice combo of an almost immediate body stone, then 2-3 minutes in, a nice strong head stone that blurs your eyes and sticks with you for a couple of hours. Not racy but energetic, even with the strong body stone, it's not couch locking, just a nice relaxed body stone but you can still get shit done. Should produce some nice meds in edibles, I'd think better than the other pheno which is a little more racy and less of a body stone. Can't wait to make some edibles with this one, the 7gal I have going should produce enough to make some meds, it's responding great to training, getting larger and looking stronger than the sat-dom pheno.
Buds are nice and dense, not rock hard like my Blue Pyramid that produces little rocks, closer to a JTR bud, on a scale of 100 I'd rate it around 65 for density. In comparison, my Blue Dream pheno would be 75 and Blue Pyramid would be 95. Bag appeal is good, reddish hairs, lots of trichs covering it and that very strong blueberry/kushy smell. Should be a keeper and looking forward to running some of the F2's this one created. The male I hit it with is another indica-leaning and very strong blueberry smell pheno which should produce some dank phenos. Up to about 30 seeds from this one and will end up with around 50 after filtering out any small/green seeds. More than enough to search for an F3 candidate

Some shots of the group and all buds from the two runs in the flower room, Day 44 and Day 22. Blue Pyramid is typically done within ~49-52 days so definitely by next weekend, balance in the first batch will be pulled in ~10 days or so Some early frost showing already on the Harlequin and Blue Dream buds...

Beautiful plants, do you notice much of a difference in yield in 5 vs 7 gal pots?

Thanks, I look at it as gallons of medium, in that measurement they produce about the same. 4x 5 gal = 20gal so it will produce more than 2x 7gal, but they should produce relative to their container size. Of course it's strain dependant, I have 5 strains going and only 2-3 that produce decent to well. In the 7gal imo you're better to veg a little longer to take advantage of the extra medium and get some better yields. The next 2x 7gal coming up should be a good size and produce 10-12 zips between them. Cheers.

8 days of growth from the last post for these 2x 7gal Blue Rippers, another 10 days or so before they flip. Added the trellises a few days ago to spread them a bit, the indica-leaning pheno on the left is liking them. It was only about 1-2" taller than the one on the right last week. Looks like I'll have to bend this one a bit to maintain anywhere near an even canopy. Smell on that pheno is dank right through vegging, much like the Blue Dream pheno I have, both stink even in veg.
Cheers

Those IR shots are cool. You shoulda posted those as some mysterious albino strain...hahahahah
Anyway, looks like you run a tight, clean space. Impressive. Like to see more of it and how you have it set up. I think i remember saying youve got it all tied into a hvac system?
