Welcome to my Green House Seed unnamed test strain. These aren't released to public as of yet. Will be in coming months. Its a lovely cross between Watermelon zkittlez X Velvet moon..is 60% indica & 40% Sativa. A nice hybrid shape she has grown. Taken really well to topping & LST.
VD 36-38 plant is doing really well. Still has a few old war wounds of calmag. Have had issues with this strain with CalM.. but I'm putting that down to me, starting them off in a light mix soil was a big disadvantage for them. I had ordered all mix. But it didn't come. So I had to adapt and started them out in 1.7L pots and then 10 days later my all mix came, loaded with larva. That, gave me a heavy dose of fungus gnats. Still dealing with a few babies without wings. As soon as they do. They gonna run into a wall of 80 bug traps 5 in every pot. 3 cut off and placed in soil then to stuck to nodes. Then I have ones dangling in the air to catch males aswel as them layed in the soil with soil around them. Therefore when they land to lay eggs, if they don't get caught in that, their babies will, as when they hatch they ramble around your pots for a few days until they also get wings. But, I'm 95% sure. I seen a clutch of the last of them last night. As I disturbed soil as I was top dressing with biobloom and about 15 lil babies went running. So, I hatched my plan into action. Thanfully I'd 80 new bug traps ready on hand, and tips from Green House Support is given me more ideas to attack them.. was on a 18-6 until down below.
9/27th In limbo. Days 39-41 plant has been flipped to flowering along with 5 others. 2 other fems are still vegging, so I'm juggling them about into my 70cm2 that runs 24/7 and my 100cm2 that is in flower mode. I swap 8 autos around every 6hrs and the 2 fems also get an added 6hrs then 6hrs of dark to keep them in veg. It's working fine atm. Pain in the area yes, but fine all the same. This girl was uppoted, as I planned to do this with all of my fems. But with my soil the way it is. I heat treated the soil to uppot this and it was a nightmare. And I've gotten some serious great fungi going on this girl. It's practically covered in fungi. The pic is of it early on. I'll take some more tonight. I used a 60/40 heat treated (boiled water poured on soil and sealed to steam off) and as I was taking the plant out. It was a disaster. There wasn't strong enough root growth to pull the soil out. I had a feeling this would be an issue with the plants that were started out in 1.7L pots. They didn't have enough time to wrap around and be able to pull it out whole. A few more weeks of growth it would of. She's in an 18L pot now though. And great fungi action.. Great root ball though, lot to develop but I could see it. As most of the days
Thanks to my sponsors (reps), from Green House Seeds & MarsHydro led lights/tents for supplying me with great gear.

FC 3000 & MARSHYDRO LIGHTS
The FC 3000 300w it has a high ppfd 1525 umol/s, 2.85 efficacy and has the new UV addition which brings it closer to the (RA) spectrum, that's the Sun spectrum. The FC-FC-E has this, Also it has a much even PPFD making for a more evenly grown canopy and has a deep penetrative light as it allows you to move the light closer to your canopy with a reduced risk of light stress. The TS versions are a great light to. These are different though. As they have a much higher ppfd in the middle, so I suggest you rotate them plants and move em about to get the best out of the high PPFD

Stay Safe.
@MrHightimes, me neither, sadly this 1 got tangled up and had to be cut from its base and transplanted into soil, so she's had a rough go of it. Her sister that got put into the ground in RW is so much further ahead then any grow I've done at day 10.
Hey I noticed in some of your grows you have traps for the gnats I have found that using your exhaust ducting as a vacuum over the soil was the best way for myself to control their population you can suck up whole branches as well and the air doesn't hurt the plant but it will suck up those flying gnats
Devastating with the hermie. I had one last time turn the 2 closest to her into a seedbank. By the time I'd noticed, the damage was done. Hopefully you've caught it in time.
@gottagrowsometime, exact same as when I had the hermie, I'd been busy not been able to keep a close eye on them and bang. Luckily for me it was only the 2 plants right next too the one that had hermied. Bit of a seedbank with the 2, the rest of the tent was rather unscathed.
@Aldo90, yeah. There's a lot of nans. And burst pollen sacs. I stripped everything that was around and below it. As I have my fans all pointing down. I lightly misted my whole tent with h202+water and wiped everything down. Too early to tell how many seeds I'll get. But, I know there'll be a few. I wasn't watching enough. Last 2 weeks I been super busy.. and that's the time. Ah well. I'll know in a few weeks. Let's see.
I've saved as much as I could of her. Hoping she'll stay true. All nodes are all female. But, the stress of the clean and node(s) removal. And then I went mad lollipoppoing.. only a few colas left. But what's there is high calyx-leaf ratio.. if it was the other. Id of just cut my losses.
@Tropicannibis_Todd, yeah. Nans and full pollen sacs. Lots of balls.
Weird though.. was all on the last set of nodes. My 2 biggest. Had em 2/3rds all the way up.. few female parts. Wasn't watching close enough..hopefully I'll only catch a few seeds. Let's see.
Really thorough diary, gave me a lot of information. these kind of diaries can really help growers on deciding whether to pick this strain. You should be really proud. I think the seed companies could do with you to test thier strains out.
