RacerX's New Setup and Large Update
Undeniably, Racer X is the least understood driver on the Formula 1 racing circuit. Both feared and revered, he inspires rumors that whenever he competes, crashes are sure to occur. A facemask used to conceal his true identity further shrouds him in mystery, only adding to his reputation as a jinx...

Here are some pics of the planter box setup. The Supersoil was not used, it is just an empty bag. Dont worry. 35 Trainwreck clones and 4 Purps. 2 Purps got planted, 2 are in pots going to be mothers. We had a bad scare though and a closecall. Our last batch of TW clones were crazy rooted, pretty much waited as long as possible. They loved the T5 and HPS immediatly. These TW clones however were far less rooted and I made the mistake of putting them under a 1000 watt immediatly. I was not near the room so I could not check on them. About 12 almost died, about 5 still look pretty bad. Some were so bad, I actually removed them and put them back into the humidity dome. Tonight, they were looking far far better because I switched out the 1000 for a 250. Definitely a big mistake that almost cost me 1/3 of the clones.
What was really interesting was...the biggest and healthiest looking clones survived the worst. I believe its because they had more leaves to keep moisture in and were not as rooted. The small tiny more woody clones are looking superb. I wont get a first hand view again until tomorrow morning. Still think we can get away with no or only 1 or 2 deaths.
The other big news is that I am transplanting the other 50 TW. We are picking up some 3 gallon square pots (god only knows how hard these are to find) and expensive as hell ($3 a piece and we need 60 of them). But they are only 10"x10" which is the same size as 2.5 gallon round pots. They are also very durable. Because of this new pot system, our available grow room has been SERIOUSLY reduced and I can only fit about 35 plants in the closet. So another 20 (including the seedlings and mothers) go into my second grow box (not pictured yet) where they will be joined by 25 more plants in 3 gallon square pots. These will be Cindy 99 clones from the Cindy 99 mothers which I am cutting in 2 weeks. 2/3 of the TW will be single colas, the other 3rd have been topped and bushed.
