Satori, Sugar Shack, and God's Treat

[canuck grower]

Hello c.com friends!

I moved into a new place and my closet was made for growing. Here's the closet when I first set it up. The second pic is the top, 6" Vortex fan at the top which is now hooked up to a small Can carbon filter. Upstairs I have 2x sets of 4 CFLs, 42W (I think). Downstairs is a 250W HPS, which I need to upgrade to 400 or 600W. There's a 250 CFM inline fan hooked up to the cool tube that vents into the upper chamber, which has the Vortex for exhaust.

But these are old pics (months). Up next are some of my girls! :jointsmile:

I germinated a bunch of seeds: 10x Satori, 2x Sugar Shack, and 5x Northern Lights. I got one female NL, several female Satoris and only one of the Sugar Shack beans was any good (bagseed, might tend to hermie!).

I moved with some NL clones. I gave some away and kept 2, so those are the more mature plants in the flower chamber. They're being logged in the second grow in my sig.

So yeah, here are some pics from when they were all young seedlings. In the first pic there are 4 NL on the left, then one Sugar Shack and 10 Satoris. The Satoris (Mandala) are just great! They are so hearty and vigorous. I had read all sorts of things about Mandala and their land race strains and when I saw it for myself the difference is even more profound than I thought. I have nothing but good things to say about these things! Even the seeds are fucking HUGE and healthly looking, all 10 sprouted. 'nuff said. :rastasmoke:

The NL are BC Bud Depot if you're curious. The Sugar is bagseed. If you haven't heard of Sugar Shack google it. It's fantastic bud! Some of BC's finest. :jointsmile:

A few weeks later the Satoris have exploded! Booyakasha!

In the bottom right corner you can see the Sugar. She topped herself, and was a bit deformed at first. I was a bit concerned but she turned out great.

After choosing my mother I traded a couple of my Satoris for 2 God's Treat clones (God Bud x Dutch Treat, it's so dank the plants smell great while vegging! :thumbsup. I'm flowering one of them and the other is my mother.

The Satori is by far my favourite. I'm topping and tying down branches because I'm limited in height. It's fun too though.

I cut 10 Satori clones yesterday afternoon. In my 2 previous cloning endeavours I used rockwool and some rooting gel on the advice of a dude at the grow shop. He does know his stuff, but I wasn't very successful with the setup for whatever reason. Something like 20-50% success... pretty terrible right? :wtf:

This time I bought some jiffy pellets, and since I can't find the rooting gel (it's here, just got misplaced in the move) I purchased some stim root powder #2 as well. I obviously can't predict the outcome, but it looks very promising! The last clones I cut were not nearly this happy. These barely drooped yesterday, and this morning I was stoked to find them perky as ever reaching up to the light. Amazing!

I'm especially happy because I am counting on a very high success rate. I plan to put 8 of these in a SOG as soon as they root well and my northern lights are done (7-10 days). I may veg them for a few days, but I'm waiting to see how stretchy the 2 flowering Satori ladies are after 2-3 weeks. Anyway, I also would like to keep at least 1 for a mother, as I won't need more clones for ~3 months and my current mother will be (too) huge by then. So I'm gunning for 100% success, which is fairly optimistic considering my record. Wish me luck.

nice setup, canuk

[turtle420]

Nice man! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cool kitty.
When are you flowering?

Best of luck buddy!

[canuck grower]

Hey shove, turtle. Glad you like it.

I wish the kitty were mine. She's fun to babysit.

I'll probably be able to flower them in 2-3 weeks. The NL are supposed to be done in 3-10 days. They change fast so it's hard to say, but I think I'll leave them for at least 7 days. It all depends on the trichs; I'm aiming for 20-40% amber and I'm just starting to see a couple.

It's day 46 and they're labeled 7-8 weeks.
