    Very much par for the course of my growing experience, it only took seven weeks from the start of this thread to actually get this experiment under way. The three unsprouted slots will be exchanged for candidates from the other cabinets that popped last week. Eight in here are shadowed by ten spread out between the remaining six stations to give me both a comparison and a back up plan for missteps or shortfalls from this new system. Running 12/12 in here I'm certain that flowering will begin before what had been the standard two month veg period but sticking with 18/6 for the other stations to see if the reduced footprint of these containers can still produce the same volume I've become accustomed to.

  3. Day two of day one. IMG_20220428_234722.jpg
     
  4. The most responsive pair running 18/6 in a cabinet with a Mars Hydro TS600

  5. Running 18/6 in my vanity cabinet (12 x 12 with a 90 w UFO) this is the leader of the pack and will be the first to get topped.

  6. I'm coasting for another 30 days. Then I get to bust ass and harvest / set out again.

  7. Feels like I'm fudging the results of how well this light is handling things by cycling in the more productive specimens from other cabinets but since the 12/12 scheme is undoubtedly going to have them flowering earlier than I'm accustomed to it's easy to rationalize this strategy. The four most developed will join them tomorrow so that when things really get rolling I've got my best foot forward.

  8. Reshuffled but holding off another day or so before the four in the center get the plop and drop; should be topping the other three on the far edges as well.

  9. I guess my intermittent three hour nap served as a wormhole to the future and brought the motivation to give them the bump; topped the other three as well so this experiment is now on cruise control.

  10. The most robust of the understudies got topped today and granted the vanity cabinet to provide a ready replacement for the first to falter in the main space.

  11. so far, so good. man
     
  12. Snipped the remaining three.

  13. The reduced footprint of these containers inhibits my routine LST but anchoring the folder clips to the bottom rim should provide the best solution. I'm very curious if the 12/12 from seed cycle influences silhouettes by minimizing stretch normally experienced. Following specimens are given 18/6 so there may be some crowding for succeeding waves.

  15. With ten laterals competing for dominance at just under a month from seed if this specimen proves to be female this will definitely test the potential of this new approach.
