New Grower Hog's First Perpetual Garden

[Hog_M@Gundy]

All plants showing their pre flowers. Some are still not totally clear but the Dread Bread in a small pot is looking like a female so I transplanted to a Jr. May be a challenge since it's smelling like overripe Mango and looking more sativa so it could be a Mango Biche pheno and flower for 16+ weeks... may have to setup the other tent to make space!

Only one plant (PTK) is looking like a male to me, but I could be proven wrong here in a few days. Light schedule flips to 16/8 at lights out!

Oh my, eleven fingered leaves...Nice!!

So I decided to pull the trigger on a budget light for my 2x4 tent, since I need more room for the current plants and gave my SP150 to a buddy. Got the Viparspectra P2000 for $135. Testing it out and it runs a little hot but seems perfectly fine for the price point. Mostly will be used for autos and considering doing a little clandestine pollen chucking project in the 2x4 in a couple months. But for now the smallest/squattest two plants (PTK and Purp x Blackberry Widow) are in there. Just couldn't manage to arrange all the earthboxes in the 4x4 so that I could easily water each.

Hahaha, well looks like both plants I moved out are indeed males! The Mendo Purps x Blackberry Widow definitely is and the PTK looks like it will be too. Not sure Im ready to deal with pollen and seeds quite yet, but I'll what a day or two before I decide whether to cull them.

13 even! One little finger is tucked out of site! Obsessed with this plant. Just snipped like 6 top fan leaves and one round of ponytaling. Perfect structure imo!

Trimmed some fan leaves from the PTK to coax some breaches away from.l the main stem. Really interesting to see the pure Pakistani expression, though I'm sure It would he much happier outdoors.
Ave. Of the Giants is already stretching, getting ready for a serious topdressing tonight with BaF, Quoddy Blend (finally found some locally), BaB, RO Terp Tea Bloom, watered in with Bio Phos and Coconut water.

@WildBill This Ave of the Giants would take over the whole 4x4 in a regular Earthbox! Shoot, could try to do it as is You were right about this being a challenge in the Jr. But I think I'll do alright. Still plenty of space for a top dress mound and no feeder roots showing yet.

Ave of the Giants could be quite challenging in a Jr. It could be easier if she's an efficient feeder..........like Vidamints. I'm very happy with Vidamints performance. I have a feeling that she would easily fill a 4x4 tent with two girls in regular earth boxes and be a real easy grow.
Given the biomass and the actual amount of bud, she's been very efficient with her nutes.

And what is extremely funny is that, I didn't think this girl was gonna survive!

As long as we are talking Twenty20 girls, i have an interesting observation with the three gallon pot growing the testers. The amount of stiffness developing in the branching, at this stage of growth, is quite noticeable in both girls. I'm contributing this to the Montana volcanic fluff I put in a layer on top as a barrier for the nets and to help conserve moisture in those rain science bags. It seems like that stuff, silica, is readily available for the girl to use.
I'm going to pay close attention to the roots in the pots after I chop with these girls.
This is going to go into my regular mix at the recommended rates by BAS.

Seems like Ave is a pretty efficient feeder, but the next couple weeks will be the real test. I've added the Monatan Grow Silica the last couple rounds when I prep the earthboxes. I think it makes difference, Ive noticed way less purple stems.
Also T20 related, one year ago today my first cannabis seedling, a Muchacha, broke soil! Crazy to think of how much more knowledge and experience I've gained in that time! Time for a nice joint of Methane to celebrate me gorwversary!
