I got a pack of Acid Dawg by Karma. I really wanted his Sowah, but I found that impossible to get my hands on. So I'm going to open populate his Acid Dawg, which is a cross of his Sowah and Star Dawg, and find something I like from those seeds. This is my first go at premium genetics, so I'm also expecting to find something tasty in this pack. Germination rate probably would have been 100%, I soaked the seeds for 24 hours unattended, they all sprouted in the cup, I probably drowned the 2 that didn't make it. They will be transplanted into 2 gallons and switched to flower as soon as cuts are taken. Cuts of the females will be grown in a separate tent, and switched to flower as soon as there isn't risk of them getting knocked up.

Watered in some epsom salt and Microbs today. I'm going to wait to transplant until the 4x2 is ready, could be 1-3 weeks, so they might get a little root bound. I'm going to add a little soil to the top of each cup when I water next.

Watered in some more Epsom Salt and added some soil to the top of each cup today. They look a lot better in this pic than they did a couple hours ago. Still signs of magnesium deficiency and also a few brown spots. Not going to transplant until next weekend, as the tent isn't ready for them. The soil is 2 recycled, reamended batches mixed together with some Coast of Maine Lobster Compost. 1 batch was reamended with BuildASoil craft blend 3-5-2 and mineral pack, CoM compost, charged biochar, and some kelp meal. The other 1 I don't really remember, I think it was a new soil mix with some recycled soil with Dr. Earth fertilizer, Kelp Meal, BuilaSoil worm castings and mineral pack. Both soils cooked for a long time, but not in ideal temps until the past month. A few other cultivars look extremely healthy with this soil, however 1 is showing worse signs of magnesium deficiency. When I mixed the 2 soils together and Compost, it's likely I didn't mix it well enough.

I have to delay transplanting because the tent won't be ready for them until next weekend hopefully. So I decided to trim them up and sprinkle in a small amount of Dr. Earth 4-6-3 fertilizer. When the soil dries I'm going to water in a some Microbs.

Transplanted last night into a recycled soil mix that I'm not too sure on the strength of. I also started a compost tea brew yesterday, worm castings, kelp meal, bat guano, aloe powder, and molasses. My air pump died sometime overnight. So I feed the tea first thing this morning. Unfortunately I found out my floor wasn't level, and the water drains to the right where I don't have plants. I took a single cut of every plant and labeled them 1-11. Instead of labeling them here I'm going to remember 1-4 is top row, 5-7 middle, and 8-11 is the bottom row. I read reports that Acid Dawg didn't clone easy, and when transplanting the roots weren't that impressive, so I soaked the peat pucks in kelp meal and aloe powder. If I have any females that the clone isn't successful for, I will just re-veg.

They look a little sad. Going to brew a tea this week. Worm castings, bat guano, kelp meal, and unsulfered blackstrap molasses, aerated for 48 hours. I'm going to wait until the weekend, to defoliate and switch to 12/12.

I defoliated and top dressed 1 tablespoon of Dr. Earth 4-6-3 and a solo cup of soil in each container. I also changed the light cycle to 12/12 today on 7/2. I transplanted rooted clones of everyone except 4,5, and 10 into solo cups. I took additional cuts of 4,5, and 10 as well. #8 had the most insane roots that I've seen on any clones so far.

They are looking healthy. They responded well to the top dressing/tea from last week. They've only been getting water every few days since. The initial cut of #10 I took, didn't root and I pulled it out of the peat puck to look at it. It was a little calloused but I didn't want to mess around with it, I stuck it in the solo cup of soil I had for it anyways, and put it in a different humidity dome not in my tents. I was just going to use the soil in that cup to top dress my clones a little. The dome got kicked and left on the floor, I went to use the soil yesterday and forgot I stuck that cut in there. Because of how the soil spread, it had a 12 inch single tap root, and a couple small ones. So now I'm left with just 4 and 5 waiting to root. One of those has pre-flowered balls tho and I don't plan on keeping any clones of the males at this point.

#2,3,6,8,9, 11 are female. #3 was the tallest from seed until a few males overtook her. #8 had the best roots by far when I cloned her. #9 had really good roots too. The clone for #6 died. She rooted, and kept growing roots in the solo cup, but for whatever reason she never grew new foliage and died. I took a few more cuts of her sometime last week, hopefully those will root soon. #1,4,5,7,10 all ended up being male, so I killed those cuts. When I killed #1 i chopped him at the base. It smelled extremely sour and had the most robust roots of all the males. I stem rubbed him and got nothing of what I smelled when I chopped him, so I'm hoping I didn't mislabel him because I'm thinking I might want to re-veg him. 1 of his sacs also already opened up. #4 was the shortest plant in the tent until very recently.

I top dressed each plant with a tablespoon of Dr. Earth 4-6-3 and some worm castings, and watered that in. They are all looking great and smelling great. I cut off some pollen sacks from my 2 best looking/smelling males #1 and #5 to dry out so I can store. I'm really excited to flower out all the cuts I took of the females, as they all smell amazing with some tantalizing profiles.

I killed all the males, I felt like the tent was sufficiently pollinated and I didn't want to risk an autoflower I got in another tent to get anymore pollen than it already has. I collected a bunch of pollen from #1 when I did. The little plant in there is something I threw in the tent after the 1st week of flower that I eventually might want to do a backcross with, so I figured I might as well make some seeds for that. The buds need to be supported, but I'm probably going to be too lazy to do so. But I am extremely happy how the girls are growing, I am sure when I flower out and smoke the clones, at least 1 will be a keeper. I will train and trellis those gals for sure.

One of them fell over, but she'll be alright. Just on auto mode with this grow, my attention is being spent elsewhere. I can't wait to get the clones of these girls in this tent, going to get them under a trellis and on 12/12 immediately.

Been pretty much just neglecting these pregnant ladies, but they are all doing ok.
