I started this grow about 2 months ago.My goal is to have my harvest every 30 something days.The flower room was built by me and a friend that turned me on to hydro years ago.It started out as a vented room but i am currently converting it to a sealed room system.
I m growing with clay balls in 5 gal buckets and top feed drip under 2 1000 w. hps.
I am vegging with florescent in the crawl space right now (maybe a veg shed in the back yard soon)
Currently i have critical kush ,jack herer,cbd therapy,star fighter,tangerine,sweettooth and a couple of crosses I've been messing with.
Took these clones 2/21
These about 21 days from clone. Hand watering.
These around 36 days
So this is my rotation.Ill be taking clones every 3 to 4 weeks if everything goes as planed.

The first 4 x 4 tray in the flower room 23 days now.Looking to get the next tray going in about a week. Had a little more stretch than I wanted on the one critical kush and the hash plant jilly bean cross.The other critical kush seed is nice and stocky though so thats nice.

Gonna be cleaning second reservoir getting ready for the second 4 x 4 tray.
We sunk the reservoir into the floor and it is sitting on a table built in the crawl space. With 8 ft ceilings I was trying to gain a little more height plus it helps with keeping my res water cool.

Finishing cleaning buckets,tray,drip halos,lines, ect. today. Looking to transplant on Tuesday.Clones I took the other day are looking pretty good.The weather is nice and chilly this week and that helps keep the crawl space around 60 deg. f. With a seedling heat mat underneath they love the cool air.
With spring around the corner gonna have to figure out how to keep things cool in the summer months.

Great to see your up and running again. I grow indoor year round but haven't been able to pull off every 30 days closet I came is 38days apart but you really have to watch your canopy when adding smaller plants into your already budding ones. Ill be watching the journal until the buds pop, best of luck!!

Day 28. Flush and cleaned tray 1.Replaced with fresh nutes ph to 5.6.
So I seen something happening that didn't look quite right and come to find that I missed some herming going on at the lower buds on one of the crosses I was working with.Should of known better to put it in my flower room.
It was next to my cbd therapy and hp so they got the worst of it but needless to say I have some seeds that I cant use in all of it.Should have paid closer attention. Pics coming.

Did the sacs open ? I've had this happen and missed it until it was too late but I used those seeds and yet to have a male plant from it. I had this happen again this grow I usually rip and defoil my bottoms anyway and I don't think these one got a chance to open I got it during week 2 of bud. I'm in week 4 and still search everyday for signs of hermie sacs. Wish you the best.

You work on crossing strains ? I've tried this with (Collodial Silver) before it was a white widow and og kush cross. The stuff turned out amazing. The CS method i used was put it into a spray bottle do not dilute. Take a female and flip her to 12/12. Twice a day everyday spray the budsites with CS. You will turn the plant into a hermie you then put another female plant in the same room and let nature do its thang. I don't take the seeds from the hermie plant only the females around it.

By using those seeds aren't you afraid of having the hermie gene carry on to the plant that seed produces? I didn't think I should even bother planting them risking another hermie plant I dont know pretty new at crossing strains but everything I've read about colloidal silver sounds like the way to go.
Sounds like you have had good results.

The 4th pic really shows the seeds, but dude it's probably happened to all of us at some point. The rest of the pics are looking pretty good tho. I am worried about the trait carry on but I have a very small scale grow it's easy maitenance I just go in there every day and do detailed inspection. One of my seeds went hermie in 2 sites this round. Last round I missed it and I have some seeds in that bud but if you bust by hand first u can collect the seeds and still have great smoke. Ill send some pics later. Awsome to hear your are going to use CS, what are you crossing and man your going to get fem seeds the worst part is the wait. I let my plants do their full bid cycle trashed the hermie but picked the seeds from the other females. I'm excited for you

Success. So ya man those seeds are from that smoke. Real happy with the quality I got some going on right now I ripped 2 sac sites off and haven't found anymore. I was thinking about going with a Sour Diesel next round.

Ya man Im exited.Got me a jar of CS, I let it go for 12 hrs last night,is that enough?.I could see the yellow stream like things coming off pretty cool.
I haven't picked up a EC meter yet so i cant test it.I think I am going to start with getting seeds from the Jack,CK,Sweet tooth,star fighter and tangi first so I have some seeds from each of them for back ups then I'm not sure yet. I got you on the seeds I am definitely curios on what they will produce so like you said Ill just keep a real good eye on things.

http://www.growweedeasy.com/how-to-make-feminized-marijuana-seeds
I was going to explain how i did things but this link explains it all. You basically have to isolate one plant make sure she's 100% female and spray your CS solution on the bud sites. I sprayed my buds sites everyday. You can spray as many or as little bud sites as you want, only the sites where you have sprayed will produce pollen. Also it is best to have a completely sealed room for this because the pollen with get everywhere. in your vents ect, so if you have any thing else going on they will get pollinated. you will end up with a ton of seeds if you put a few other females in the same room. I only use seeds from the untreated plants as I believe if you take from your treated plant they may be more likely to be hermies if that makes sense.
