Slowdrawls mixed bag

Wasn't sure were to post this so here we go!
To call this a journal is probably pretty weak, considering I'm such a sporadic poster.
Just starting up another tent full. These are all regs that have been above dirt for 13 days now.
As usual I'm shooting for 8 females in 5 gal pots
Using my repurposed soil from last grow to start these., basically a Coots blend.
Starting them under my 3 120 watt Atreum 288 boards, set at 200 watts for now.

Cindy Congo looks a different color green than the rest. Is that a duck foot on the cindy?

 

[Slowdrawl]

They are a lighter green than the others, never noticed that until you pointed it out.

That is a unique trait. I wonder why and cinderella 99 crossed with a african congo sativa would have that. It looks like the bottom right cindy tried to throw a duck foot but only made a two leaf. Good luck.

Subbed and good luck with your grow slowdrawl!

Not really much to look at now, this is more to tell how I stunted them with my dumb ass move!
First off I let them go more than 2 wks before transplant, usually 10 days is my cue.
Had to cut the cups away to get em out.
Put em into 2 gal bags, upotting went well.

Within a couple days they all were drooping and didn't look good....wtf... making me nervous!
I've done this dozens and dozen of times, never experienced any kind of stall...ever.
Usually a strong growth spurt right away.

So I dug around with my finger looking at the soil, maybe too wet?
Oh no, the fucking soil was still cooking.....fuck me! What have I done?

I've been mixing up my soil for quite a few years. And have for the most part let it cook for about a month.
But there have been grows where I pushed it and planted in 2 to 3 wk amended soil, still never had any issues.
I currently mix in 2 25gal totes with a small spade.
So I have to assume there was some drier mix at the bottom I didn't get watered in good.
Then the thorough watering during the transplant kicked it in to oven mode....arrrgh!
They have now pulled out of it luckiely, but seem behind my avg grow.

Confessions of a seasoned rookie!


One good thing....no FGs!

 

[Old ST1R]

They all look good to me!

 

[Slowdrawl]

They are doing Ok now, I knew as soon as the soil temps cooled off they'd be good.
Within 2 days of transplanting most all plants were drooping very badly.
Then the first single leaves on all of then turned yellow and spotty suddenly.
They just started to pickup this last week.

I just went through this with my plants but because I got impatient and transplanted them too early. They were pissed for close to a week.

 

[Slowdrawl]

They're really starting to take hold now at 30 days.
Had an unwanted stall for about at week after transplant.
Gonna let em veg for 5 more days then flip to 12/12.
These will be the first plants I've grown that weren't topped.
All of my plants have been squat prior to this grow, so we'll see how this goes!
Got close to 5' of overhead, maybe this time I'll have a better fill.
Stuffed 21 plants in there this time, looking for 2 females per strain.

Hey man did the Cindy Congo grow more duck foot leaves?

Not that I noticed.

 

[Old ST1R]

Your plants look fantastic!

 

[Slowdrawl]

Update.....
My plants are showing pre flower already, kinda surprised me at day 33.
I've had outdoor plants show at 6 weeks before.
Then it dawned on me, I'm running 16/8 this time around!
Maybe that's it? Got the mag glass out, sure as hell!
Got females showing on 5 different plants, covering all strains so far.
About the same amount of males starting to show.
Gonna drop down to 12/12 today, should really kick em into gear.


I'm excited about this grow!

Rock and Roll @Slowdrawl.

 

[Slowdrawl]

9th day of 12/12, just up potted to my 5 gal yesterday.
This morning they're all standing tall.
Got 9 females out of 21 plants, not the best ratio.
Ended up with only 1 JP out of 5
2 Bubble gum out of 5
3 OBS out of 7
3 CC out of 5
Had to cull one plant, decided on one of the Cindy Congo.
I'm happy just to get a full tent of girls.

Did you cull the Cindy Congo that had the duck foot?

 

[Slowdrawl]

Did you cull the Cindy Congo that had the duck foot?

Yes...it was a male.

 

[Slowdrawl]

Got thinking I'd like to get better coverage than my 3 Atreum 288 (2)3000k and (1)3400k boards are giving me.
So....I jammed my 240 watt set up in there too. Got 4 Atreum 60 watt 4000k boards going as well.

600 total watts dimmed down to 320, was able to keep the driver for the 240 set up out of the tent.
Better coverage and less heat now.
Went from lights on temp of 80 - 82 with the 3 boards at 300w, to 77-79 with all 7 combined now.
Night temps are stable at 70 degree.
All the girls are perky!
Hoping to see some decent stretch this time.

 

[Slowdrawl]

Here they are a week later, twenty days in on 12/12.
Most are still stretching some, except the Bubblegum.
The BBG plants are almost identical, thinking they are gonna be really nice!
They all seem to be doing well with the lighting, very healthy so far.
