1.2kw,BB Cheese, DP Super Haze(autopots), GH Red Diesil

This is my 4th Grow. 2nd grow in my current room setup.

History:
I've grown 3 cycles of Dutch Passion Super Haze from start to finish. 1st grow was slow and wastful using CFLs. 2nd Used HPS and some ventilation but temperatures got too hot. 3rd grow had HPS and proper ventaliation, 3 weeks till harvest. All produced very nice buds to different degrees. Thanks in no small part to all you fine members at the farm. Its my bible!

Proposed Grow:
7 Big Bhudda Cheese. Fem Seeds.
3 Barneys Red Diesel. Fem Seeds.
8 Dutch Passion Super Haze in Autopots. Clones.

Conditions:
Multi level grow.(top and bottom)

Medium: Soil. Bio Bizz All mix. 5 litre pots.
Watering: Hand watering Cheese + Diesil strains. Haze in Autopots.
Nutes: Bio Grow, Bio bloom, Bio Alg Mic. Bloombastic. Considering Bio Root Juice.
Lights: 2*600Watt with Cool tubes.
Ventilation: 6" fan running closed loop. 5" exhaust with Carbon filter. 4" intake. No access to outside air so hot air is exhausted into my home which really saves on heating costs. Cool air is room temperature(kitchen). I keep a window open at night(lights on) to keep things fresh.
Temperature: 20C at night(min), 28C at day(max).

Progress:
I purchased seeds for Big Bhudda cheese as a bigger yeilder for my grow(part cash crop). Haze was taking a long time and although a nice yeild, nothing comparing to pictures i see!

Super Haze: I took 2 rounds of clones for Super Haze. They've rooted with about a 95% success rate from one mother, and a 20% from another mother. Is it possible or likely that one of my mothers has really bad rooting genes?


Cheese + Diesel:
Germed 7 cheese and 3 Diesel in moist tissue between 2 plates over 2 days.
All have sprouted and are planted into small soil pots and placed back into the cloning tent.




If anyone has any opinions, thoughts or advice. Please give it!

Im very much looking forward to trying these new strains and excited about trying autopots out!

Thanks for reading

Update:

Super Haze:
I've repotted 23 Super Haze into 1 litre pots. These surviving clones rooted in 10-14 days. (75% success from cutting to roots)
I want the best 8 of these for my grow in Autopot pots. I'm very interested in how they perform in AutoPots comparing to my experience with this plant.
18 of these plants are in my cloning tent vegging under 2*36 watt long CFLs. The remaining 5 had to go into my mother room with a few regular 25 watt CFLs supporting them. Ill rotate to maintain even light distribution.



Cheese + Red Diesel:
7/7 Cheese (Yellow pots) sprouted and survived. Currentily under 6 23watt CFLs. 3/3 Diesel (Blue pots) sprouted. All are doing ok. If a bit stringy. I'll try get the lights as close as possible and babies need a little wind to strengthen thier lovely bodies up.


lol, it seems i popped 2 seeds into a single pots. I don't look forward to untangliing these!

All plants have 10 more days to strengthen up before I move them into the room and the 600w HPS.

Thanks for Reading. Any advice or questions are welcome.

Hey Everyone, Hope all is green and mite free!

Update (1 week continued in cloning tent, now 1 week into Veg)

All surviving plants are now vegging in my grow room. Under a 600watt HPS. 48" starting but now at 18inches. About 1 week now.

Super Haze: The Superhaze are doing well. A bit elongated and thin comparing to the seeded RD and Cheese. I think this is normal?
Here are the pictures of the Dutch Passion Super Haze clones. I would really like some advice on which of these to keep. I need to pick EIGHT of the sexiest ladies for my autopot run. Experienced and knowledable opinions welcomed on this! Im at quite a lost about judging the girls.


Cheese: Here are my Big Bhudda Cheese one week into veg. They are all doing fine now. I believe the yellowing of their leaves was a nitrogen deficency? Does that look correct? started at tips and progressed inwards, oldest leaves first.
I was giving them PH 6.5 water with 2ml/L Rhizotonic. Yesterday I gave them some Vegging feed Bio Bizz Grow 1ml/L so hopefully they green up shortly!




RedDiesel: Same as Cheese so far. Slightly less vigorous but no problems. One of them suffered issues and looked deformed and none of the leaves where forming properly. Twisted, damaged, dry, almost a mix of true leaves and seed leaves, malformed. So i bined it incase it was a virus or bad dna.


AUTPOTS! yay! It took a while to set them up as the smart vavles (blue pump things) needed to be reset and i found them a bid fiddley. Anyways, Here is 8 of them being fed from a resovoir(my first) and with a air pump running a air cage in each one.

I found the pots took nearly 36 hours to reach maxium saturation through wicking action. This was longer than I thought by far, but im very glad that this points to little chance of water logging the soil! The smart valves also come very close to completely drying out before refilling. I like these pots so far. I shall transplant the 8 best SuperHaze into the pots in a few days once thier roots have established more.

Thanks for Reading so far. I'd really like some advice on the SH choices. I dont know how to pick good plants yet, and i'd like some pointers from the examples above. Thanks in advance!

I've decided to top (uncle bens) and lsting tomoro so i can control thier height and growth. Node spacing seems far on all of them, but in saying that, its a single leaf each node unlike the seeds which are very symetrical.

I think i may choose 1-6,10,13 and the guy in the yellow pot. Any experieced growers advise on this?

7,8,9,11, 12 seem more stringy in comparison.

Hope this is the right choice!
