Jesus, didn't realize how many strains I was running until I started having to type all that shit out. Anyways, I wanted to post an update on my plants since they're over 4 weeks, maybe see if I can score some rep in the process (*wink wink*).
I'm on my second big harvest, running a 1000w digilux bulb (and ballast on turbo, I think its like 1100-1150 watts). 4 white lavenders from clone in 7 gallon smart pots, + 1 ak from seed, all in ffof + perlite. Then I have an aeroponic setup going across the back of my tent (with the reservoir outside of it, which conserves space and keeps the temps below 70° at all times). From right to left (and big to small), its Blue dream, Cotton candy, Desert diesel, and Purple wreck, all from seed. Feeding with botanicares Kind line + expert feeding shedule.
The ones in the back sit up off thw ground higher than the soil plants in the front, but they're still massive. The growth is just soooo fast, I can't wait to see how fast the bud growth is. Especially now that I just got those co2 generator pads.
Theyve been in flower for a week, and sexed in a day. But then they went on pause for like a week, and i was like wtf. Yesterday morning I went to the grow store, and before I left i checked the plants-still no buds. By the time I got home, I walked into my grow room and checked them out-- not only had a bunch of pistils shot up, but they actually had fucking buds on them! Especially the cotton candy. I dunno if they just spent the first week stretching or what, but now theyre definitely off to a good start.
I've been really pushing the limits on my soil plants, and adding the botanicare hydro nutes into my feeding schedule. I'll feed with those, then next feesing I'll feed with roots organics, then a light feed with the hydro again, then flush. I've been careful and backed off whenever ive seen any signs of overfeeding, and the results are spectacular:
Heres the white lavenders at 4 weeks and 2 or 3 days. I got the cuts from my cousin, he grew it in a dwc with foxfarms hydro nutes and it was nowhere near as dank as this, even when it finished. These still have weeks to go, I can't wait to see what happens.
Heres the ak. Indica pheno, hidden down in the mddle. I think my friend that gave it to me is full of shit and its just a bag seed, bc its thrown banners and seeded the lavenders up (just a little, not bad) and its 2 sisters got seeded like fuck. Its turning out decent. But I'll probably harvest it in a week or so bc I don't want it seeding my aero plants, not to mention im broke.
Alright, I'll probably post pics of my clones in a little bit, i have a sweet setup now and have gone from 0% success with over 50 cuttings to 100% success with about 15 of them. I've got my system dialed in now for a perpetual harvest, which is nice.
I'd throw those pics up now but this post is already long as shit.
I can't really tell/show anyone around where I live, so thanks for letting me share my progress here. Hopefully someone out there gets something from this post, if you have any questions remember- the only stupid question, is that which is not asked.
Thor out, peace.

I'm pretty proud of myself, my growth has been phenomenal. I'm hoping to hit somewhere around 1.4 grams per watt, but if I at least hit 1.2 I'll have reached my goal of doubling my gpw rsince my first run.
