Took a little while to get the mind right and get started again but I have popped some seeds and started a new grow. This time it will be an ACE seeds assortment. I have been wanting some more interesting and cleaner/clear highs lately so I decided to go this route and they offer some solid sounding proven lines.
I was excited to pop some older seeds that I had a chance to snatch up but unfortunately they did not germinate. They were Ace 2008 stock so not super old but I only tried a couple individuals each and saved the rest so I could better prepare the remaining seeds for future grows. Angolese Sativa x Pakistani Chitral Kush, Banghi Haze, and Panama x Deep Chunk all refused to open or did pop a small root only to stall and die. The unopened ones were buried in the current plant pots just in case.
So instead to ensure success I moved onto the fresher 2013 seed stock I had and went with Pakistani Chitral Kush, KaliChina x Orient Express, Nepal x Jamaican, Destroyer, and Zamaldelica. These are all regular seeds as I hope for a decent male ratio. I popped two of each and ideally I'd get a male/female out of that but this is highly unlikely of course.
They are in coco beer cups right now and will remain until they get too rootbound or I can sex and remove males. I want to leave them in there until stretch ends to control height but without automated methods I fear they will get too dry between waterings before they are ready. They will be moved to 1 gallon buckets to finish out. I am leaning towards mini hempy buckets this time.
Same lights as before, although seeing the cdm lights doing their thing in the lighting forum makes you think... Wonder if I can handle the heat. Going to try to see if I can keep them happy on maxi again. I have been feeding them only 1/2 str and they seem to be enjoying it so far. Height will be controlled via topping a couple of times to slow vertical growth and create multiple uniform tops then supercropping and lst as usual to keep them all in line. I am certain the growth rates and heights for this mix will not play together nicely so it will be fun to try to keep them in check.
In case the labeling is hard to read, from the Back Left: PCK 1, 2, Zamaldelica 1, 2. Middle row is Kalichina x OE 1, 2. Front row is destroyer 1, 2, then nepjam 1, 2. They are around 3 weeks old right now. Pretty slow growth for that time imo but I have purposely fed light and introduced the lights one at a time this run. Also keeping the lights higher up to start but have started lowering them slowly. They are starting to really grow at a noticeable rate now and several are showing strong scent profiles.
nepjam - this one is growing much fatter than the other and has purple stems.
If anyone has experience with the various phenos and such I'd love to hear it. I have been reading and re-reading the ace forum but that can only take one so far without experience.

Still trying to nail it down - you should have seen these plants two weeks ago
