Garden Pics II

Second winter run has begun. Fifteen seeds will be culled to ten to twelve plants. I will not suffer any more runts even if I paid for them. What's been sown? Sowed? Planted. That's the ticket! 5x Banana Daddy (Ethos) 3x Blueberry Pie - Pie Face #2 x Blueberry Muffin (Ethos) 3x "Cherrion Berry" - Pie Face #4 (cherry) x Blueberry Bubba (Ethos) 4x BBxGS (Nobody's Seed) No idea if the Pie Face hybrids are 100% Ethos or a collaboration. I threw these in because of the potential flavors not due to brand or silly names. If any good, will possibly include in some upcoming fem seed runs. "Cherrion Berry" is an homage to the crack-smoking former mayor of Washing D.C. Since it had no name, I took it upon myself. Need to name one after the crack-smoking former m,ayer of toronto, too. It can be it's own delicacy line of pot strains immortalizing the truly horrible people elected by average folk... and fucking re-elected in both cases I believe. Will be more systematic training the plants from an early stage with a target number of colas for each - totalling 144. Hopefully, by avoiding the runts the size deviation will be smaller. Some variance is easily mitigated. No matter what there will be some variance, and I'll do my best to distribute them evenly so that the larger plants can bleed into the area of responsibility of the smaller plants. Third time using a scrog, but the first time I've put some thought into it. Baby steps... https://youtu.be/p3JPa2mvSQ4?t=20 Not much to see here. Come back in a month or two. Updates may not be weekly. They'll happen when something noticeably new is occurring. Final Germination Results... 2-3 days for 14 of 15 to germinate. Nearly all popped within 12 hours of each other. The 1 failure may still pop but once it's several days behind it's very unlikely it can keep up, but miracles do happen. the difficulty here wil be providing the right amount of light to the mothers as well as the seedlings. the hieight difference will help initially then be a problem later on this week. I'll have to put the mothers under the XS1500 in another location either way when the seedlings are transplanted to 1-gallons. I won't cull the weak until ~3 weeks from sprout. Though any overtly retarded plants will be trashed immediately upon discovery. This is a good enough start. Current crop is steamrolling toward the finish, so the logistics are good, too. A goal for this grow is a 35-day vege for a 175g plant size -- 7 days sliced off from 2 previous cycles. A more systematic approach will help as well as no delays in tranplants. If i get close this time, i know i can do better as i get more proficient with maximizing scrog. I should have planted a couple more for cushion, but lesson learned (again... "maybe"). Can only kill 2 weakest this time. 15th did pop. A sprout 1.5-2 days after the bulk. So, I have up to 3 weak plants that can be trashed. Should have planted more.
