CyberOtter420 I must be mad...
For some reason i had it in my head that i can squeze another plant into my 700x700 flowering tent. Im a sucker for variety and to do that i will have to be very strict with defol/lollipoping and also employ mainlining (a new technique to me) - its still not without complications and pruning will likely be a son of a bitch to do, but whats life without a challenge ay..
Strains:
The previous 2x grows prior to these now wer from the mother and clone of a strain "Future 1" from amnesia seeds.
That strain was a long flower pheno and i dont smoke herb i vape flower also some stealth QISO for the public missions haha, anyway Future 1 was harsh, a peppery hit thats a bit too much for my throat.
I long for the old school Jack Herrer hits i used to get about 15 years ago and i may even do a Jack grow in the future but for now ive chosen to replace F1 with GSC and GDP.
GPD:
Why choose that - want to see what the hype is around Grand Daddy Purple - if its goood enough for snoop then its good enough for me - and of lol..
I am looking for massive body effects as i suffer with rather bad insomnia from having ADHD.
GSC: Girl Scout Cookies - No idea why i chose this... Originally i wanted a strain called "Mafia Family" but couldnt find it outside of the US.
The clone in this is from the mother thats in flower now (diary is available though my profile), the supports for the mainline are a 3D print i knocked up to assist in structure but im printing a load of Kinex parts that should sufice... The tie downs are expandable as she grows so theres no real restrictions later on.
Think ive worked out the timings right so that i can mainline the cookies and top/mainline the GDP giving a couple of weeks growth on a mainline to have a mini harvest, as long as the canopy is even (hence the mainline) the age wont matter too much.
Like the mother all these grows are tracked (by some rather OTT Excel spread sheet 😂 ) and i mentioned in the other diary that this area is a work in progress. I've made the Dual SWC (if thats a thing) and the aeroponics cloner, will need to make another slimline cloner one to fit my new ambition of whacking 2x strains mainlined and this cloner into this... yes a 600x400x600 space.
Like i said - i must be mad lol
Game on and lets have a little luck shall we!!!!!
Happy growing

CyberOtter420 Week 6!
Had a little more free time this week and got stuck into AutoCAD for an hour or so. Smashed out the MKII mainline frame. I could just use ties like everyone else does but this is me OTT and quite frankly barking mad hahaha
The design is a lot better, with a rear expansion socket, and loads of anchoring’s... its also anchored to the basket, this will allow for a simple lift and shift from one Water Culture to the next.
More resins on the way to print another 3x of these off.
Plenty of new growth this week, GDP now at the end of week 2 has had her first feed, also transplanted into a staging SWC, the root structure looks good and it was definitely ready for a small feed. Slightly stunted it actually. TDS of 120 & She should start to bounce back in a few days.
Been looking at that cloner also , needed slimming down to accommodate my new mainline size. Back on the 3D printer mish, made some collars to fit some plastic jars I bought, personally I love how they turned out I just need some black spray paint to blackout the bottoms. Made 4x which is enough for my cloning needs, 2x of each ensures a backup and to make sure I will also run the backup 4x pot giving me 4x of each but I have a near 100% clone rate using aeroponics and clonex. In time i will retire it. I have an actual full size 24port cloner from the old setups (works slightly different) but the same principle... There's no one way too grow, we pick up things on the way and change things to suit our needs.
Looking ahead at future space issues, with 5 to 6 potential weeks to go I still have several tops to do which should stall it with the recovery period(s), but the growth in the last week alone is... well its concerning lol. Will see how she goes!
I have another option but I need to think about the light and ventilation. I may ditch the Jardin tent and make something custom, there’s more space outside that tent.
Anyway, all good so far, seems to be handling my bastardized approach, more to follow.
Thankyou Thankyou :D
If you want the STLs/ CAD file DM ME and i'll send you a Mega link to the files 💪😎
Shaping her around a frame seemed the best solution for maximum control/shaping if im to get 2x plants in a 700x700.
Thats the goal anyway 😁
