All looking great! Ill be making the move back to RR (Always solid cloning rates).... I was considering building an aerocloner in a 2 gallon bucket after hit and miss results with cubes back in the day BUT... Simplicity of the RR is really enticing and will fit my new space perfect.... Once again, thanks stone for a nudge in the right direction (I will be sending some PM on getting my seeds to germ in the RR cause Ive had varied results with that). With only 6-10 cuts needed a month the aero would have been more trouble than its worth I think....just more equipment to take a shit right when I need to keep it simple right!:) Oh and just a vote for the yellow line above... You are trying the mainline approach right??? I think thats the right spot...Subcool is pretty cool though man and if you post in that thread I think you will at least get his opinion or someone who certainly knows their shit better than I... Just a hope both for yours and my summer grows being drama free, you know how challenging that can get... Im looking at 110plus for several weeks on end where I stay! New A/C might be inevitable! ~S0uP

Hey soup! I always pre hatch my beans in a paper towel then transfer to the RRs. Works really well that way.

Ya definitely why I want to wait till fall before I give her a full dedicated run to compare. This summer grow will be a struggle enough I would never get a true performance to base on like I would with ideal conditions. So I figure with no expectations for this grow I should learn plenty to put into effect later. I'm going to post some pics of the B.Russian to get an idea how far before I should top her.



Thanks yankee I would appreciate that. I have such limited height clearance that this is the only real concern I have with the technique.

Question for both of you. I gather so far that I wait till she gets her 5th node before I top? After she gets her fifth node where do I top her? I noticed that KC, it looked like you topped leader at her 1st node? I could be mistaken from the pics, but it looks like some people top at the second node. If topped at the second node I take it you remove the lower node at some time before flower?

Yankee how long would you say the veg time was after you topped your HB m-line? Thanks alot guys! I'll post some pics up later, they are growing fast.
If you like spending time in your garden then I think you will enjoy the process. As you say, summer can bring serious environmental challenges like temp humidity swings that can make it difficult to get predictable results but what fun would it be otherwise :wall:

I just updated the 1st Hashberry Mainline thread with pics of the HB with four branches. She maxed out at 24" x 24" so sits pretty low but could have been trained another 4" or so lower. Her sister with no topping is ~33". She vegged for a total of 49 days and just 11 days after first topping (milestone dates in thread). Glad the aborted effort will have some value after all!

The WWxBB Mainline I started way earlier - three weeks from seed after she showed four nodes. I topped above the third node and pruned the first and second nodes after she was established as part of the next pruning and training.

Hope this helps, let me know if I missed anything or if you have follow up questions. Good luck!
 
I must say, after reading about mainlining I am pretty curious about all of this. Wish I had an idea of what mainlining was when I started my grow lol. But this gives me something to be excited about for my next run! Learning everyday, no joke.

Bring it on, summer swelter!

Well jarred the girls and checked RH. All 3 are sitting at around 65-68% and are looking in good shape for the cure. I am pleasantly surprised by the final weight, still have 5-6 grams of curing and stem removal weight to lose yet. Still a very good run!

Here we go. Blackjack first, I sampled a small nug today and taste is already very good. Smoked very well in my bong, would smoke easily in a joint she is dried just right. Weight on the Blackjack -90.5. Figure once stems are removed and final cure is done I should end up around the low to mid 80's on this girl.



Blueberry is already smelling very nice! She is very dense and frosty. Weight 70.9, probably end up around the mid 60's once lumber is removed. Can't wait till she gets a months cure!



Bluecheese is so damn stinky! She smells incredible, skunky, fruity, earthy. She is the most dense of the three and is very sticky. She is going to be something else after a nice cure. Weight - 59.4 Not as much lumber to trim here, she should end up around 55-57g finished.




Pre-stem removal and cure weight total - 90.5 + 70.9 + 59.4 = 220.8g 0.88g/watt! Estimated final after trim and cure 84 + 64 + 56 = 204g 0.82g/watt. :-P

Tasty lookin'. Excellent GPW ratio.. especially for such a small area. Means you got about 420 (lol) grams/m² for your space. Sick.

:clap: Lovely brother, enjoy some spliffs for me!! :D

KC :weed:
Damn bro, helluva job! Congrats on "not f'ing up to much". Lol. Knew you'd get a good haul! :joint:

Thanks for the props guys! Sampling the first blueberry as we speak! She is smooth and tasty for having no cure, her taste and smell will get so much better with some time in the jar, very happy! Blackjack had a very nice sativa psychoactive buzz. Doesn't feel like she is doing anything then all of a sudden-BAM! Smoked a couple bongs earlier and then went grocery shopping...That was a mistake! I'm bout halfway thru the blueberry spliff right now. She smokes good in a joint already, a bit harsher than I like her but the buzz is almost instant with her. No waiting around to be surprised!

I'll wait for wake and bake tomorrow to sample the bluecheese. After that I'll cure and burp em till they get around 61-65% RH and seal them for a week and check them. When RH is at +/-2 of 60% RH I'll separate them by size and quality of buds and seal them for long storage. Well only made it about half way thru this spliff so no complaints with BB! Peace

Well rewarded for your efforts. Enjoy!
Thanks yankee. Not quite as rewarded as I thought, more on that in a moment.

Thanks who! Glad to have you check in. Sampled the bluecheese when I got home from work and this is definite couch weed! I am really loving her taste and smoke already really smooth.


What a haul man! And damn bro .82g per watt, thats just outstanding. Enjoy it my friend, you earned it!
Thanks SS, I am already enjoying some of the smaller buds but I am going to try and hold out for a few weeks before I start to hit the jars hardcore! Luckily got enough other bud to hold me over for a while. Thanks for checking the finale out, the new grow officially moved over to the cab tonight. Pics next post.

Thanks psilo. I keep my bulb around 5in away all the way until the last 2 weeks of flower. Then I'll move her up to around 10in. I did hit my goal but had an apparent snafu when I weighed last night.


I"m not sure what happened but somehow all 3 batches were overweighed by 6.4-6.5g. Because it is such an exact amount I think I must have bumped the bowl when I tared it possibly. I went to weight them and see how much moisture weight they lost from burping them a couple hours and was shocked! Feels like I've been robbed of almost 3/4 oz. :-? So final weights will be less 6.5g each or 19.5g total. A bit disappointed I didn't meet one goal of 2 oz each as the bluecheese ended up at 51.7 after trimming stems. She is the only one who is at 64% RH and she is ready to cure for a good 2 weeks then check to seal for long storage. I'll store them in the half quart jars to consume in smaller batches.


With the 3 girls dry and in jars to cure, room is made in the grow cab for the new trio. I am looking for some explosive growth with the transplant, roots had already reached, and in the B. Russian's case filled the bottom of the parkay hempys. After some slight possible transplant shock, These girls should explode under the MH.



I'm having a live and learn situation with the auto NL x Big Bud. The tiny cardboard pot was a real bad idea. I should have put her in a real dirt pot or went straight to hempy. She is losing valuable veg time and I'm hoping the hempy transplant and future outdoor transplant will not prove to much. I am not going to expect much from her if she does make it but hopefully the hempy will stimulate some growth.


Peace
