Feb 18: looking good. In tiny 1 gallon pots but looking pretty strong. Will raise soil level to give them more to work with. Male plants don’t need full size pots. Leonweed does his SoG grows in 1 L pots so I’m sure 1 gallon will work for me.
Still absolutely love the Mars-Hydro light and tent.
The data logging provided on the AC Infinity Cloudline T4 is very cool if you’re into that sort of thing. They make it way easier than most of the stuff I see at work. Allowed me to see my temp and humidity varied quite a bit and my setup should likely be modified.
Mars-Hydro.com where to go for the awesome FC-4800 light and 4x4 tent. Both are great and I’m very impressed with my first indoor setup. Makes me realize outdoor growing is way harder in some ways.
Feb 20 CS Day 0 first silver spray. Will continue for about 15 days.
Removed a single upper fan leaf on each plant and bent a bit to expose more buds to light. Harambe is definitely bigger than the two beasts which are very sturdy plants. Harambe seems more amenable to a tie down which I might do.
Making colloidal silver using electrochemistry which is easier for me than the silver thiosulpate method. Starting with distilled water, the TDS was reading 65 ppm pretty quickly (6 hours) probably because I’ve been using the same jar and the residual silver contributed. Anyway, 12 V power supply from some old forgotten computer, pure silver electrodes (last forever essentially), distilled water, keep in dark. Clean the accumulating black oxides off the electrodes every few hours and check TDS. Oxide builds up faster as TDS increases so check more often later on. After about 6 hours there was some oxide showing but TDS was already high enough at 65 ppm. I know, not measuring silver colloids exactly but measuring something. Last year it would take 12 hours to reach that point. Anyway, the silver concentration should be high enough.
Spraying silver on all three plants at all bud sites, approximately three times a day for 15 days. The first time I tried this I sprayed for about five weeks and it didn’t work. So, I now stick to just two weeks as recommended by the RQS blog.

@Ganja4Show, thanks. First time trying these seeds and they seem good. I thought the Beast would be the bigger of the two types, but they’re pretty stocky and the Harambe is bigger.
@2x2growing, thanks. There will be lots of plants this year and I need to do a lot better overall than last year. Definitely lots of fun and pretty much my dream job so hopefully I can make it work this year.
@KingSalomonsWeed, thanks and I agree. It will be interesting to see how the phenotypes vary this summer and how the chosen ones will come out the following year. 👍
@Shooey, thanks eh? This is still my first indoor grow, and I’ve got too many other things on the go to sweat the details, but yeah these plants seem to be going well. Hopefully the seeds will be ready in time. I may be cutting it a bit too close.
Great stuff mate 👍 good to see you back into it.
There’s a lot going on!! Would those fem seeds also be auto if they are crossed with autos?
Should be an interesting new project. Good luck with the weather this season bro,, following along 🍻
@@@WeGro, not quite that easy. I made feminized pollen by spraying with colloidal silver. It’s easy enough if you want to do it but it’s not trivial. Same way professional breeders do it.
@Shooey, yes these are for this season. I’ve already got a decent number of Gorilla Glue auto seeds (about 250) but I want lots more. Hoping to have about 400 of these plants this summer. Should work out, but I was delayed getting this indoor setup going which means timing is bit close for a mid to late May season start.
