The two Urban Poison are runty and got solo cups, and the two Tire Fire are super-indica shorties by design and will never get large.
On this part I left it kind of vague. Since the plants are really slow I want to see roots before I mess with them again. Probably should have gone with a smaller cup.

This is the pre-chuck veg. Most of the seedlings will get pots soon, then it's game on. As soon as they look big enough they flip. Luckily the Dirty Taxi are the ones thriving and getting big quickest. I pruned back the Taxi and Chemdog moms without cloning. I'll be topping the ones in 1/2g that are getting a little too big. I'll probably have a ton of little 4-tops in the breeding tent. The red cup is my next Chemdog mom to get me some of that ugly weed.

The FB68 seed-mom hits 8 weeks 8/2 and is looking to go about 9 weeks tops.

I am probably culling the two Urban Poison tonight. They are in the solo cups and just look sickly. The Tire Fire that have that 89 skunk in it are great but tiny. I may flip the smallest for seed instead of the biggest. All I need is a single well pollinated top cola for a fat sack of beans, and if it takes that long to veg the bigger one will have a better head start for making flower eventually.
IMG_0755.JPG
The other veg tent is mostly clones and most will flip to catch pollen. First smoke on the just dried Hollyweed x TKM10 was nothing mindblowing so the lone re-veg might go away. I have my new Chemdog mom seedling going and the existing shrub will make lotsa seeds.
I am still flipping the Taxi #2 shrub for seed as well but I may snag a clone or three before I do.
IMG_0757.JPG
The topped seedlings are should be manageable until the littles are ready to flip. I'll snag the fan leaves sooner rather than later to slow them down more. The FB68v1 is the only one not getting seeded. I have the three clones from the one currently in flower that are for mom, seed, and flower. The second will get cloned and flipped for flower as well. It being ready to take clones before the chuck will probably determine whether I take any from the Taxi.
IMG_0758.JPG
I consolidated the closet and shut it down. I am thinking that it will be male storage until they are ready to mix with the girls. And the tall plants stopped stretching before the extra closet height was needed.

The Taxi stand is starting to turn. 8/9 will be 8 weeks, so the 8-9wk windo looks legit.
IMG_0761.JPG
The #3 plant smells a lot more ChemD/bad breath/funk than the other two, and that clone is the only one showing the ChemD variegation. Just on three leaves, and you can see the 50/50 blade showing that it's not some deficiency.

@H.A.F. ,sounds like a solid plan to me ,my first replacement broke soil and kicked the hull off by it's self,:)

This is me talking it out on paper - without talking or paper...

I just got stuff defoliated to ensure I have limbs growing on the big ones. And I need to flip things. After the plants are identified I can up-pot as I separate them, I think the taxi might all go in a big pot depending on the m/f ratio of the 7. A few of these are 2-fers and one will flower after. The FB68v1 is another seed to clone and then flower and see how close it is to the one I cloned already.
IMG_0775.JPG
If I flip tonight they won't show sex until mature, so probably 10-14 days. If I wait a week then flip they'll show in 5-7. Since that's a wash waiting is fine for a bit.

I am thinking that my best option is to have a male tent and a veg tent in the one bedroom after I get stuff Identified, and the plants I have in flower will be harvesting in the next few weeks so the flower room can stay the flower room.

But I have the mini tents to let stuff hang out in veg lighting not get directly splooged, and I can put that on a cart and move it elsewhere. So I needed to figure out what I would still have in veg. I may just close off that "veg" bedroom since it's in a different wing of the house from flower.
In here I have two of the three FB68v1 clones and the Chem91 seed for my next mom. Looking at what I circled I'm a dumb-ass. I put the one Flashback in a 1g pot so it could fit in the chuck tent better.
IMG_0772.JPG
In here I have a Blue Jack, a Dubstep a Tire Fire (mini) and the FB68v1 seedling
IMG_0787.JPG
Two 2g and a 1g, then a 1g, two 1/2g and a cel. By the time the males are ready to toss pollen they may all be in bigger pots. But at that point I'll have empty flower tents because the girls will be with the boys - maybe in two tents shoved together for the orgy.

It's usually about three weeks into flower when the girls have decent puffballs, so I am assuming the boys advance the same. I just need to keep everything happy until I see the flowerr starting to open. If I need to flip a flower tent to veg to make room since everyone else will be partying. I figure I'll keep them together anywhere from a few days to a week before killing the dudes and cleaning the plants and the room.

After the pollen has done it's thing I will have plenty of soil and room to get the seeded plants shoved into big happy pots to finish out their seed production. It's just getting stuff to the pollination stage in small enough pots to fit in one area. :unsure:

The problem with the veg room is that it is just vented into the room. My flower room has each space vented to the attic separately.

So if I let the orgy happen in the flower room I have the closet for males, two tents for flower, and I can probably squeee everything into the 4x4 for long enough to shake the boys a few times. I wouldn't even have to leave them in the tent if room was an issue. Or rig a shelf for the boys to be over the girls.

I dropped the Taxi on the 5th, 4th is the new moon, I think that will do fine for flipping.

Been figuring out veg and the chuck and all that. I flipped the timer on the chuck plants and did some rearranging so the larger tent was 12/12. What I am keeping is here. I couldn't bring myself to flip the Taxi mom without cloning her. I may do that tomight or in the morning, then she flips with the rest. The 5qt pots are the two FB68 clones for a mom and to flower after the pollen is gone, There's a second FB68 V1 seedling waiting to get cloned, and a new mom for the Chem91. The littles are the doubles I dropped and the others are in the chuck.
IMG_0845.JPG
In here is the future orgy. I said fuck it and am flipping the Chem91 mom. I have one in flower and a few jars. The two Oilspill and the 7 Dirty Taxi are the only regs. Oilspill males get culled and Taxi males go to isolatioin in the closet with the constant exhaust for stray pollen. The large one back right is the Blue Nose Pitt that was runty for a while and never got flowered. It's all in the signature block.

This is what's in flower. I know the harvest dates for most, and I don't think the ones I am unsure of will go past 10weeks. The Chem-n-Koffee is the only one that may still be around when I shake the boys. That will be a good experiment. Any seeds would just be those annoying white pips but I don't really think anything would have time to form.

All the Taxi clones have made it past the stage when the seed moms nannered. The first one is all powdered sugar and will be ready right at 9 weeks. The FB68 might go a little longer, but by days not weeks. This means that all the weed I pull now is gonna be superior to the seedmom stuff that is already ripping me up. It also means that I'll have a few ounces of primo to have fun with.

I made a small cannagar with about 3g of Taxi. Diameter of a cigarette and about 2" long. I got through about half of it the day I made it, about a week ago. I just fired it up again and it is just like it was day 1. It is so compact that it can't oxidize and lose terps.

No flower pics for a bit. Heres the Taxi stand. Ffront center is the one going today or tomorrow. I'll check right at lights on. The extra week has gotten these chunky

The FB68v1 is front right here. V2 is behind it. My last Chemdog flower from that mom is front center with the two Corey's Crush behind, the Headbanger is front left and the Chem-n-Koffee is back left.

I snipped 7 clones of the Taxi #2 mom and shoved her in with the chuck-flip. If I can't get a clone to take out of 7 karma has spoken. I snagged 2 off the Chemdog as well.

Looking at veg the new Chemdog S1 seedling is stretchy and close to needing topped. The FB68v1 bean #2 is also getting close, I topped her without cloning to get limb growth. I'll have a clone tent going now so taking more is nothing. I think I'll keep the domes small though and I can fit two so I can open them up at different times.

I love that strain! I have a few packs of that in the fridge I need to get to. I just keep getting so much fire that I want to see what the new stuff has.

I've posted pics of all the beans that Andy from Greenway Solutions sent me, and all are fems. Not counting the 700 or so from his first attempt at a reversal of his '1968' mom. They probably won't germinate but if one does I have an instant keeper.

Just off the top of my head there's the Sour Puss and Blue Jack City I am almost out of. Each has a different type of buzz, and different smells and flavors. And they are all flavorful smoke. If you want to try something new here's the link. I think the main thing is that there are a lot of crosses and strains he has bred with friends that also grow, and I haven't seen any "elite clones" in the mix. He has grown all the stuff he sells, then gave me a few years worth of new stuff that hasn't been tested. Just a great guy all around. You can tell in the interview he did.

Just more random BS. Since I now have two different Chem91 S1's I designated the oddball the peanut butter chem. It still smells more like that than chemdog, and if you were handed a nug randomly you would never guess any of the chem family. But the high is still the same quality, if not the same feeling. I don't get that same 'high school high' feeling from this one. Anyway, since I have both going that'sm the reason for the designation in the signature block.

I wonder how much difference that will make having the PB chem clone getting pollinated instead of a regular one. The genetics are still the same, but maybe it brings out that pheno more often? Getting hit back with the ChemD andd the GMO in the Dirty Taxi should be outstanding.

here's the remaining veg
IMG_0923.JPG
and the chuck-flip-tent.
IMG_0924.JPG
I took pics of flower but everything is getting consolidated into the 4x4. One of the DT clones is showig wierdness at week 8.5. Like a re-veg or something, but only on one limb.
IMG_0909.JPG
And I was checking the Headbanger, at almost 10 weeks to see how long she would be
IMG_0915.JPG
She's done. Or rather she's not ever gonna get done and will likely nanner eventually. But looking close she's loaded with amber on the leaves and milk on all the old stuff
IMG_0913.JPG
So with one gone from each tent that makes room in the 4x4 for everything. The closet and the other tent now get a deep cleaning and I'll bring the flip plants in to let them spread out.

The second version of the FB68 is smelling nasty and food-ish so I may have been worried for nothing. 6 days on the first one before I get early smoke.

With everything rearranged and fflipped this is all I have in veg. The other veg tent is shut down, but everything in here will get up-potted again before being flipped in even bigger pots. I need to clone the Chemdog and second FB68, but the two larger ones are from the first seed and are for flipping and momm-ing. I'll snip clones when I get everything else and likely flip both for flower.
IMG_0935.JPG
Everything else is in the flower room. The closet is the regs that need sexed. The 2 Oilspill only get kept if there's a girl, The Dirty Taxi boys will stay in the closet and I'll squeeze the girls in the other tent. When hen the boys are identified I'll jump them into 2g to encourage more growth. the girls will go to 1g's.
IMG_0936.JPG
This is everything clone and fem for the chuck. I can up-pot anything that needs it, but If I can wait until after the pollination I can go big and spread them out well.
IMG_0937.JPG
This is all remaining smoke flower
IMG_0938.JPG
One of the DT is almost there, everything else has a week or three.

Game on! The amount of girls I had really didn't matter since I have the big Taxi mom clone to catch pollen. Having at least one male was the worry. Based on preflower shapes I have 4 boys and 2 girls! And both are a mix of tall and short, no gender-based height thingy. I have 2 undecided, I lost one Oilspill dude, but The girls will get 1g pots and move once I see pistils, and the boys will get 2g. and stay in here.
IMG_0956.JPG

Once I harvest a few more plants the chuck girls will move to the 4x4 and the flowers will take their place. I need to see if one tent will be big enough for the orgy. A few girls will need bigger pots before then.

One option that might end up being Plan A is to join the two tents together. It would have to be ugly with tape and tarps but the tent doors face each other with about 4' between. and the door flaps are opposite as well so that's like two almost walls to build off of. And it doesn't need to be hermetically sealed, just needs to keep the pollen sort of contained.
