These are going in 3.6 liter pots in a week, straight after my property visit.

I got rid of the afghan from world of seeds, just rubbish compared to the 4 free seeds.

My 12 Brothers Grimm Grimmidica regs are in a glass of water. Going to get these in peat pellets for a few days.

All plants have been moved to my pc grow case for as few days.

I have made it through the property visit, so 5-6 months of pedal to the metal!

Just ordered 3 tents, 1 is 5ft x 5ft, 2 are 4ft x 4ft. I'm going for bigger areas, with the same amount of light.

The auto's are super stretchy and will get their home tonight. I will hit the hydro shop tmw for soil, will take pics and add them as I go. Time to get a forrest going :lol:

Ok, so 2 of the 6 set up's for my personal grow are up and running lmao

I have transplanted my twelve C'99 regs to 3.6 liter square pots, slightly under a gallon.

These are now under a vertical 400v 400w dual spec hps under the excellent mini grostar reflector.

I have also transplanted 4 other regs, sour lemon og, tangie and 2 wild thailands

4 x Sweet Seeds Fast bud#2 auto's in 12 liter air pots.

1 Black Jack auto died of being too dry, so have 3, these are in 12 liter square pots.

Grimm Brothers Grimmidica in the propergator...

When they are out there, I'm getting the Grimm mix going too. Work load is is going to be full time, so what difference will that make :lol:

Also going to get some more auto's going too for old times sake.

Pictures so far...bongsmilie

Looking good although i wouldn't fill the pots to the top with your medium, leave a couple of inches gap, it makes watering easier

Looking good man! In the future try to avoid clear containers as it damages the roots, that's also the cause of the alge on the side of them there.. Not that it's a bad thing just not ideal

Thanks for the tip. I bought so much soil at the hydro shop, so just kept chucking it on :lol:

The little root systems they have will just love their new set up's.

Every set up has an sms temp controller to keep the temps at 75-77. Plenty of light too.

Thanks. I will use those little cow manure pots next time as they air prune the roots. The C'99 roots are identical to a plant in a small air pot. They are firing out everywhere.

The plastic cups were clear, but I reckon the growth was better. I got some horrible orange liquid coming out the manure pots, every time I fed them.

I have a feed buffering right now. Sea weed and molasses :leaf:

I haven't watered them yet since transplanting them. They were quite wet, so the dry soil should soak that up a bit.

I'm so excited :eyesmoke:

Do you think with the C'99 plants I should sex them, then put them back into veg? Or grow them to maturity, of flip them to 12/12 to sex them, then remain in flowering, without revering to veg mode. Current light cycle is 24-0

Personally I'd get them steadily to a 18/6 (not all at once), then once they are established flip them to 12/12 and cut some healthy clones (3 of each plant). Be sure to label these clones so you don't mix them up. Around the time you have roots and new growth from them you should also have pre flowers with the now mothers. Keep the female clones in 24/0 as you cull the males via the moms (or dads). Flower out the moms fully and find which if any different phenos you desire and grow out the clones accordingly. You seem to have enough room to be able to do this and again this is just what I would do but it gives you the ability to pick what plants you want to run and also some cloning experience as I believe you said you had little. Cloning is awesome and especially beneficial in the situation I just mentioned. Best of luck

However you are sprouting those stretched seedlings lower the light or add more. When they stretch that bad its easy for them to fall over and die.

It was because they were in darkness for their 1st 2 days of life, then 1ft away from a 125w cfl hidden for the property visit. I just wanted to start them early to get a fast harvest, I'll chop them in 7 weeks from now. Not the normal look for my plants, but the 1st week is almost over lol

I have a drobe 1.5ft x 2 1/4 ft

Heat mat too, also a 96w T5. This is where I'll do the cloning. Thanks for the advice. I'm going to use soil with small pots for the cloning.

I'm going to get some plant labels. I do have plenty of room for this. Thanks

I have 3 large grow tents arriving later today (:

Nice! I am planning on growing brother's grimm c99 next crop. How is the heat output on that 315w CMH in the 3x3?
5'' fan working at about 10%-15%, passive intake. I can hardly even hear it. Imagine a 250w hps in a 3ft x 3ft area, then add 10% heat. Yeah, like that..:cool:

I'm in the UK, but even on the hottest days where a 400w is too hot, the cmh never gets unplugged. I ran 2 x 315w cmh units in a 4ft x 4ft area over the summer on 24-0.

You could easily use a rvk 4'' in a 3ft x 3ft area for 1 x 315w cmh.

I really like your setup I'm finishing up my 4x4 room but if I had it to do over again I would buy a good grow tent I've neve r grown c- 99 but it's a classic strain that has stood the test of time
