Great looking little ones man! They look happy,happy, happy.

happy,happy, happy.

To be remembered.

SHOVEL. You are the Bush man. Two toppings in two weeks, how many, no I'll read the book. Stay inside, or pulling tarps?

Shovel, I reused my soil from last year as well. Will rejuvenate with hefty amendments since I purchased pretty good "dirt" last grow, ya know, cow manure, Canadian peat & perlite & yea... a little vermiculite. Some peeps feel that vermic is useless. Well as one esteemed member of this board states so eloquently in his tag...... "many ways to sheer a sheep". Again why waste a good blend especially when I rotate crops (like most farmers). Visualizing 3 or 4 blends come this fall. Peace be upon y'all

Seedlings are going so well that day 33 from seed I flipped the lights and running (2) 400 Watt HPS over the eight plants. I'm just using the T-5 for a reflector right now. I'll add it for side lighting when the plants stretch. A couple more toppings on the two taller plants.
Base nutrients will change to Age Old Bloom, an organic miracle <g> and real good product.

A "like" just doesn't give enough props. Geeze, love the colors, that attribute alone makes the crop so very kool!

Ditched two bubblegum males so far. One other has 'that look'. At this rate I may go to a single 400W hps for now. :smokin:

Ok, ditched three BG males. Still waiting on one. All the [Afghani Dream x BOG Medley] X Bubblegum are female.

Some burning on the older leaves. Some of that was from the lights when they were wee. Also, the soil may have been a little 'hot' for the seedlings but the new growth is good and the grow rate is fine. These are much smaller than usual. I normally go 8-10 weeks of veg, these went five. So now they are six weeks from seed.

One week later...

Forgive the HPS yellow. Here the girls are showing off their frillies. Four AD x BOG Medley X BG (4/4 females) and one BG (1/4 females).
Canopy temp is 78-80º but it's staying warmer at lights out so now I am using an exhaust fan 24/7. I've started to tuck fan leaves under the buds, where I can. Of course they don't all set still under the cooling fan.
