High all,
Hope everyone has had a great summer. Mine is finally starting to look up 8)
I have 4 females in an "underground" location which only receives 3 hrs. of direct sunlight.
The rest of the day "a daylight" spectrum from the open sky completes an adequate amount of photon-bombardment.These girls are growing in home-made aged compost, fed with fish-emulsion on every watering. Been so hot lately, they wilted on me recently, but I caught them "sleeping on the job" (lol) and ran gallons of h2o through the planters
immediately, perking them back up.The strains are : 2 Land-race North Indian Hindu kush (Mandala Seeds calls it "Hubble- Bubble").
The other 2 are Durga Mata II from Paradise Seeds. Also have some Satori seedlings which just came up. Still trying to decide if I should just let them flower outside or let them indicate sex and bring them inside under the Halide. The first option will force them to flower almost immediately, diminishing yield. I want to make some f2 seeds with this strain. I don't really want to veg these too long, as I have heard they can get tall & gangly (typical sativa). Anyway here are the pics:

Little Satori seedlings just getting started. I figure they will be showing pistils by the end of the month and be ready by Halloween. Prolly only a 1/2 -3/4 oz. a piece, but I am making seeds to perpetuate this strain, so these will add a little extra to the overall yield. :joint:
PS- Do you think I can just leave them in their 16oz cups since they will be so small @ harvest or do I need to transplant anyway?

looks great!
leaving sativas with smaller containers can restrict upward growth a little bit ....

Thanks, I'm a bit worried about them reaching their full potential though. For stealth reasons, I started them very late in the season, and am curious how they will do. From past exp. this kind of late planting generally results in a single -cola plant with no side branching and very small yields. Just want to test this strain out, and add a little to the total harvest. I hear Satori stretches like a beast in flower, and since they were planted so late, I prolly won't harvest these till Halloween - 1-st week in November. Still, I'm hoping for a good product in the end. Any thoughts on late planting the Satori? I hear she's a great yielder, so i am keeping my fingers crossed :joint:

I've been thinking of starting a satori crop soon but haven't had the time to do anything. As for harvest they should be fine as long as they get good sunlight they will grow like a weed...don't over fert... Try let them grow to a pretty big plant then supercrop that will make the plant a wide dense bush rather then a tall and lengthy plant
