Haha, looks like you got some good equipment there. Good luck, i'll be watching this one too!

thanks! I must admit I keep learning more and more stuff every day here. Every time I think I figured everything out come across more helpful information. Bad news is my grow is getting delayed for a bit longer
That's been my experience. The more I know the less I seem to know.

so after spending way too much time weaving a shiny copper scrog trellis on pvc frame, i put it in the closet and realized that theres NO way i can scrog the closet. the doorway is on the short side, and having a scrog prevents access to anything other than two plants right inside the door.
transplanted 11 clones to small pots of coir, 9 more are still in teh cloner. until my lazy ass takes care of transplanting them (more roots isnt a bad thing though!)
been keeping track of my phenos since day one, by number.
pheno 4 - eliminated from future runs- roots up SUPER slow. 2 weeks in the cloner and about as much roots as pheno 5 (the fastest rooter) had in half the time.
pheno 1 - eliminated - its the shortest of the plants
phenos 2 3 5 all root fast, 5 fastest. 5 also has the most hairs on its preflowers right now (all 5 phenos have female preflowers under 24/0). 3 and 5 both have the purpling (4 does too) so its looking like my keeper may be 5.
soon as i arrange somewhere to keep vegging stuff, im throwing the closet into flower!

the clones are doing well, most of them out of the cloner and into 4" square pots to root up. 5 will be going to friend and his gf to live under a 400w hps, where i will help them learn to grow. the rest are mine for now, for mothers to give me clones on the next grow.
the big plants are doing alright. it seems i got salt buildup problems from my feeding and not flushing methods. i flushed for 4 days with clearex, and last night fed at half my usual dose (3ml base / 4.5ml bloom). they are looking better, except two still have the ram's horn / claw leaves. everything is looking a little lighter shade of green which i guess means i've gotten rid of some of that extra nitrogen. i'm considering abandoning my custom triflex schedule and getting canna coco a/b/pk1314 just so i can eliminate trying to figure out the right nute dosage. so stressful!

clones, clones, and more clones. i switched nutrient systems to GH flora, 6ml micro / 9ml grow. this is a much more well-tested regimen and shoudl take care of the problems i was having before. still waiting for the leaves to straighten up and plants to get a more appropriate shade of green. i flushed a total of 4 days with clearex and did a mega bathtub flush yesterday. full feeding with the GH nutes today.

took all the clones i had been vegging in the cloner and dropped thm into cups/pots, and they are in a tray (record player dust cover lol) for a mini SoG on the side
moved the main plants around to get the most light to them. if anyone thinks this should be moved, i can shuffle them within reason (they're pots sitting in a big tray)
3 of these are mothers for the 3 phenos i wanna keep (all 5 are girls, but one pheno grows too slow and one pheno roots too slow). the other 5 are going to a friend and his gf to live under a 400w under my guidance.
threw the timer on the closet! the lights just shut off and flowering begins!!! anyone know how long i should expect these to flower? its a master kush x orange crush cross so i'm gonna guesstimate 9 weeks, does that sound about right? i set the fan to go off at the same time as the light, since they dont need fresh air during the night anyway (right?).
the magic is beginning!!!!

Plants do indeed need fresh air at night. Your plants are looking fantastic, no need to risk it by turning the fan off. I don't know if you are carbon scrubbing this area yet but if you shut off your fan, your carbon scrubber becomes useless risking smell leaking to places it shouldn't.

FACK i pulled a retarded one. called the sex wrong. turns out i have 3 males 2 females.
5 and 4 are the females, which pisses me off because 4 roots up REALLY SLOW. but 5 was my favorite plant the whole time so thats good.
new plans:
the clones in solo cups are a mixed bag of the phenos, so i'm gonna throw together a male isolation chamber (clear storage bin with pc fans venting it, and hepa filters on the fans) and put the small clones in there to pollinate openly. the big males will be chopped down  i would keep them to collect pollen for later, but its just too much of a risk ....that i wont catch them in time with how big the plants are, and will end up with seedy buds and pollen in the closet.
so now the race begins, 4 and 5 have been moved to dead center under the light, going to train out their side shoots a little more and try and maximize their exposure.
i just heard that i may get my hands on at least 1 super silver haze clone (which is actually from me originally) so the strain list expands!
Big Momma - 2 females in flowering, 3 males getting chopped, bunch of clones going into a plant orgy isolation chamber, 2 females vegging for later use as mothers, 7 cuts of the females just popped into teh cloner
Sour Diesel - 10 cuts in the cloner, just starting to show root bumps
Super Silver Haze - coming soon maybe!
???? - may pick up a pack of seeds, still feeling really undecisive on that. considering: durban poison (sensi or dutch passion), C99 x Blueberry (joey weed), blue apollo (joey weed), and i dunno what else. so many things to choose1

lady number 4 out in the open
the roots in coco are CRAZY (this is from one of the chopped down males)
more roots!
upside down hamper with 3x 26w 6400k CFLs, vegging future mother, a clone of plant 5.
mother in training
checkin in on the clone bin, 10 sour diesel cuts in hte middle, 1 cut of plant 5 (big momma), 4 cuts of plant 4 (big momma)
looking into my hepa filtered seed making box - male and female big mommas on the same flowering schedule as the big ladies
wider view of the seed making box
garden of weeden!

more update info:
i added 9ml/gal cannazyme - eats up dead roots, freeing up space for the good ones!, also added 10ml/gal canna boost - supposed to be good shit. also going to begin twice weekly foliar feeding 10ml/gal solution of canna boost, an hour before my lights come on
current daily nutrient regimen for the big flowering ladies (this is all for 1 gallon)
6ml gh flora micro
9ml gh flora bloom
9ml canna cannazyme
10ml canna boost
pH down to 5.8pH
you may notice i reinstalled a part of the closet shelves to sorta half assed scrog the back plant (number 5). i also put 4 female clones into beer pong cups and have them laying on their sides so the plants hang out into some of the unused space under the light. i dont expect much off em but it will still look neat.
building another cloner same as my current aero cloner, this one will be 25 site. may add 5-10 sites to the old one too. i'm thinking of a SoG for the next crop and by my estimates i got like 6 weeks to prep things to be thrown into the next flower cycle.

H3AD = Very Successful formula, I personally enjoy starting out with Lucas @ 15 10 5 ml/gallon of veg, micro and bloom. Then switching over to H3AD for flowering and ditching the FloraGro bottle.
I hear only good things from Cannazyme, let me know how it works.
I've only used hygrozyme for my dead roots, and sparingly!
Well, I guess I'll pull up a chair and watch the show!
Cuz this shit's takin off!

i'm not sure how to measure teh success of cannazyme, or boost, but i'm hoping they're working their magic.
i started h3ad's formula shortly before flowering, but lucas sounds like an idea to try for veg. i do need to decide how to feed the clone that i have in dwc, for now its on the same 6/9 nutes and i figure thats ok since the rootball got moved with its coco (was in a solo cup), but i will need to probably adjust as the roots start shooting into the water.....
will post more pics when i get something better than my phone to use, but let me tell ya, the buds are popping up EVERYWHERE
i also have 4 females in solo cups sitting around in the room, plus another 3 females in solo cups that i pollinated.
the sour D cuts are still looking sad, no new root growth.....per advice given to me today, i'm going to drop an aquarium heater in there to bring temps up a little and see if that helps.
