The birth rate of twins amongst TD beanz seems to be very high. Several grows have featured twins now, another nice bonus from DP I guess lol. Best of luck with this grow dude I shall be keeping an eye on it :)

all coming on well, one still hasnt stood up but i expect her to in the next couple of days. 'Titch' is still titchy but is growing and has put out a small pair of true leaves. we'll see how she goes....

Ps as i'm watering i have been watering down the feed (which is quite tiny anyway) and then using pure water with no nutes for a day or two as i didn't want there to be any concentrating of the nutes. Most of the drying is from the warmth of the flurecent tube, rather than the water and nutes they drink so it would be condcentrating the mix in the rockwool if i used full strength each time.

yeah rite! There have been a few sprouting. I expect it's cos they're brimming with so as much DNA as DP can squeeze into them, sometimes it doesnt all fit and has to make a twin to accomodate the info.....
 
Day 10

The seedlings have had their first transplant, I could only get the shallow rockwell cubes (i usually use the deeper ones)( so i have stacked them and now they have 2 3 inch cubes each to get some roots into.

They will have 2-3 days in these under fluro to get their roots started well and then will be put under a 250w Metal Halide lamp untill they outgrow this little system, which wont be long with 10 little ladies on the go.

anyway here they are as of yesterday.....

Hi everyone, really sorry about the lack of posts. I've had some pretty heavy stuff going on at home and had no time to do any updates. It seemed close to me having to scrap this project and pack it all up at one point. :( ....Thankfully that hasnt had to happen.

I've got a few more pics to post which will show where things have got to by now. As you can imagine the little ladies are now unrecognisable to the last pics. They are 4 foot tall beautiful leggy ladies. (You'll see what i mean when i post up the pics)

I didn't manage to get my scrog screen up till about 2 weeks later than i wanted to so they are taller than i was planning but i just caught them in time to keep them from getting too close to the light/lights

There has been a Cal Mg deficiency pop up iun the last week. i would have caught it earlier but with everything going on these ladies have had to be a little self sufficient with only basic nutrients, water topping up and PH ing. They have grown wonderfully tho with plenty of vigourous vegging completed and are now settling nicely into they're bloom phase. I think they've been working thermselves hard up to now tho so i've just ordered some "sensi CalMg bloom" "Carbo Load" and "Big Bud". A little set of treats for them to help beef them up and to say thanks for putting up with they're less than completely monitored health/nutrient needs etc.

I've enjoyed training them to the screen and have just done what i expect is the last tidy up of under the canopy. I've left budding sites intact from about 3 inches below the screen. and taken off pretty much all the leaves lower than 6 inches below it. So the canopy is probably around 1 1/2-2 foot deep. This sems about right for the situation and also the fact that i tend to double crop (take the top 9 inches, then let the under side have a further 7-10 days direct light to fatten up) I may well thin out a few more leaves that aren't recieving any light once the plants have found they're final height. This is mainly to help reduce humidity and increase air flow etc. Bud rot has been my only real enemy this summer due to the warm and ridiculously wet summer we've had. and i'm determined to not have to crop any big impressive buds 2 weeks early cos of rot :( this time round.

Can't wait to have a look round the forum and catch up on how all my fellow "TD" growers have done along with all my other subbed grows. See you out there. :D
