And... I decided it wouldn't be prudent to mess up my germination track record, so I've gone for another 10/10 with FullDuplex's testers. :booya:
You can all bow down now.
HAH
They're under a small CFL right now emerging from their seed casings. Probably 2 days and they'll go into my cloner. I'll post pics then.

Karma sent my friend
I hope they take off for you as they have for me, im sitting here waiting on the day i get to see the pics of them in your room.
Glad to hear that they all germed well for you as well. That lets me know 2 things, the seeds are mature and i am drying them long enough and properly
thanks for the report on that one OG. :thumbs: Good luck with the grow mate.

Awaayyyy we go on FD test
Got Brenda and ICU#4 into the cloner yesterday. Here's a pic!
And, some of Spirit51 putting on flowers.
Loverly stuff.

In testing things out, I figure it's also good to know nutrient tolerances. Good for the breeder to know and good for future growers of the strain to know. I pushed the Spirit51's to about 950ppm for the past two days, up from 650ppm where they were doing fine, nice and green, no leaf tip burn or anything. I thought, if there's not even a spec of nutrient overload, then there's room to go. After two days I did see a touch of burn at 950ppm, and I do like to see just a touch, and this went a hair too far for me, so I dialed it back down to 750ppm this morning, pH 5.8-5.9 and I think that's where I'll find them to be happiest. My other rails have pushed 2100ppm (no typo) in veg, without a burn, but that gets SO expensive to do, and I'd heard that yields can actually be better at 1250ppm, so, they're now at 1150-1250ppm. It's amazing the different tolerance levels between autos and photoperiod plants.
Just one more reason to love autos... they're a cheap date.
Brenda and ICU#4 are loving the aero now. Roots are getting longer by the hour and they're starting to take off, which is so much fun to see.
Oh.... So, Spirit51 has a really unique smell... like Nutella almost. Really nice toasted hazelnut smell right now. Crap, now I'm hungry. And I swear the outer half of the fan leaves are starting to turn a deeper hue, gearing on a violet almost. Maybe that's just me, 'cause the rest of my photo's are DC crosses and they're all starting to put on color now.

Congradulations I have never had the courage to crank em up to 900 ppm I just langer at the 650 mark. You got your pH where I would like to have mine. I fight to keep it down at 6.0. What are you using to keep yours down? If I put any more vinigar in mine I will be able to add dill and cucumbers and make pickles.

HA! Well, as I was PM'ing with another member, that's the one area I have a hard time keeping it organic. I use GH pH down for my res's. I tried natural pH up and down, but had a real hard time keeping it stable. I have about 15-16 gallons of water in each tank. When I had a smaller tank in the beginning, that thing was SO hard to keep stable. Bigger res's are easier to work with for sure. If I didn't have plants drinking up 5-6 gallons every 3 days now, these tanks could sit stable for weeks at a time. All in all, the amount of pH down that goes into the tank is so negligible that it's worth it to use something to keep it all stable.

My tank is an air bubbly SOG hydro grow and Holds 67 plants in 4 inch net pots with the plants supported by round red clay balls. My stupid grow looses 2 gallons a day to evaporation so I know what you mean. Adding two gallons of water per day does help to cool it down.
I will be so glad to get my femanised seed production cranked up. Right now I am sprouting at least 60 seeds a month to keep it stocked with the male problem and all. I got my power supply finished and the silver in so I will start to produce 250 ppm colloidal silver next week.
