Hudson2384 My germination process thankfully gone a lot better than my last run. I only had a few dudes one of which was caused by me. The GDP for what ever reason was very high 6 out of 7 popped. I'm so happy I'm going to have A LOT of GDP down the road. The Sluricane was at a similar rate. I soaked 4 seeds and 3 popped however I tried to help a stubborn seed with it's shell to no avail. The one strain I am really looking forward to growing again is the Green Crack X MAC. I soaked 5 and got 3. Meh. They were cheap seeds anyways. Praying I have at least 2 girls out of the bunch. We shall see. Got my tent mostly clean just have to add a few touches but I have to say were off to the races. I'm also looking forward to the Sluricane it's always nice to throw a curve ball in your garden.

Hudson2384 Okay so last weekend I transplanted 5 plants from their solo's. 1 Slurricane 1 Green Crack x MAC and 3 GDP. I did use a bit of micro during the transplant. The other's can stay in solo cups for now. I suspect I will transplant maybe 3 by next weekend and hopefully my smallest GDP will come around to a transplant in about 10 or 12 days. So far so good. You can also see my new toy the ac infinity humidifier. It does the job for a 5x5 in the dead of winter. Mind you your gonna have to refill the unit every 12 hours so you may want to invest in a bigger unit. It came out to just over 100 CAD so not bad.

Hudson2384 So I transplanted 4 3gal pots last weekend. I have 2 more 3 gal containers to fill. Kinda pissed I'm 6 gal short but hopefully my local grow store will come to the rescue with a 7 gal bag. I really don't want to buy another bail. As a result I still have 2 cups that have yet to be transplanted. Some how some way I want these fems to get into a pot. The 2nd Slurricane I have is coming off a bit off. The last GDP Looks short but solid. Hopefully I will rectify this error in my soil calculation. Normally I would just buy another bail in anticipation of my next grow but I have to do some repairs to my home and I might need to move. 2026 is probably the year of change. Hopefully it will work out but from spring to the end of summer I definitely won't be growing. But on the lighter things of life I topped some of my GDP. Like last time they responded very well. as you can see in the pictures. Going to top all the GDP. My 1 Slurricane that is transplanted I am trying LST. Didn't want to top as it's my first run and this maybe the only plant I have at harvest. Like I said the solo cup one is a bit off and I am dealing with a new local breeder with this one. As for the Green Crack x MAC all 3 are transplanted. I'm hoping 3 will be female but I'll be happy with 2. I topped 1 yesterday to see how it would react. Since this is my 2nd run I noticed this was a very strong plant so I figured why not. As for my training methods I used to be big on LST but for some reason it hasn't worked well with the strains I've been growing. Not to mention it's a pain in the ass. I might stick with topping. I know it stunts the growth a bit but for me I like a very even canopy. Hopefully in 30 days we flip we shall see.

Hudson2384 Okay so I'm posting a tad early however I figured there won't be much action in the garden for a while I might as well post. Last weekend marks a milestone as I was able to transplant the last two plants over the weekend. Those being Slurricane 2 and my 6th GDP plant. I finally got around to getting a 7 gal bag of pro mix hp. I seriously thought I hade enough of a bail left over from my previous run to get them all filled. But that's okay it was a cheap bag and it gave me a good excuse to go to my local hydro store. Re upped on Cal Mag and mycroryzaie. A nice 50 CAD quick visit. So far our plant count sit's at 11. 6 GDP 2 Slurricane and 3 Green Crack x MAC. I fully expect that plant count to dwindle as I sex out the GCM. Speaking of the GCM it doesn't seem to respond well to topping so I am trying LST on another plant. The third I have yet to touch as I'm waiting to see how the other plants are responding to training. The GDP's will be the main strain of this run. I have topped nearly all of them. All of which seem to be responding very well to topping. Even the under branching is pulling out. That's why I like GDP it's a nice bushy plant to train. The Slurricane's are probably the one strain that is a tad on the ropes. It's 1st plant is doing very well. Slowly responding to LST. However it's sister is lagging behind despite the fact that they were germinated at the same time. Not to mention SL 2 seems to be coming out weird. We shall see as the week progresses as to how well it transplanted. As for the environment it has improved. January was one cold dry and miserable month. My humidifier ran non stop. Thankfully the weather is starting to turn a bit for the better. My humidifier is not running at full speed 247 so I have a measurable amount of water left when I check in the morning / evening. Humidity is around 57-60%. I'm a bit unsure as my humidifier and in line fan have a variance of 3% Also today I just gave my first watering to 2 plants. Most are still to damp to water. I will be upping the nutes in about 5-7 whenever those original plants need to get hit again. I've been feeding pretty much non stop since seedling stage so I feel a bit of a break maybe warranted. So far the plan is to veg these ladies out till the end of February. Then we shall prep for a spring harvest.

Hudson2384 So most of my crop has been watered and not fed. Some of the plants will require a boost in nutrients next week. There has been a bit of spotting on some plants but nothing I can't handle. The topping is going well with the GDP. LST on the Slurricane seems to be doing good. The GCM however is a bit harder to train as she is very bushy. Biggest plants are about a foot tall. Didn't really do a formal measure. Some plants are bigger than others but the canopy seems to be doing just fine. With all things considered I will probably flip by the end of the month. The weather is finally starting to thaw as we are getting above freezing temps and hopefully less snow. I have to dial down my humidifier now and that's a very good thing. As you can see from the pics it will be cleaned this long weekend. I also upped my inline fan to max speed. With that and turning on my clip fan the soil in my plants should dry out a tad quicker than 7=10 days between feed/water. My light has been turned up to 40% and will stay that way for the next week as I normally do 10% increases per week in veg. Other than that hope you are thawing out as well and hopefully we'll have an early spring.
