I have pollinated on 20 June and after a month or so seeds looks properly mature. I've not harvested the plant yet so they are still maturing though.

So, I was very busy and lazy this summer and also i was a bit sick of making pictures and updating here. So i had a break.
My tent didn't any break though.
I harvested all 3 the plants:
SODK: 19 g - citrous dry/diesel - hybrid sativa strong good
+ 120 seeds of my first cross: TIGRE#1 (Cream mandarine x SODK)
+Speed: 18 g - spicy musky balsamic - hybrid just ok
Skittlez OG (small one): 11 g - Kush sweet - indica hybrid happy very good.
I won a ton of seeds and i have plenty of mine, so i want to run 4 plants permanently in my tent for a while (mostly autos i think). Could be variety over quantity, but i don't consume a lot so i accept the compromise...

Now in the tent:
TIGRE#1 (down/left): youngest of the group, was grown 2/3 weeks into the small box under a single led bulb. Accidentally topped when moving her, i kept because i'm too curious to see how taste my cross..
ICE COOL AUTO (down/right): nice smell since she was young and "auto topped herself". Spoiler: if i see that i like the shape, and for now i do, i could try early topping as standard technique for the 4 plants setup.
+SPEED (up/left): 2 weeks ahead, is budding well. topped.
JACK47 (up right): not topped this, started flowering very soon so i didn't touch it.

Previously i took 2 clones of my +Speed, now they started flowering.
I was to lazy to prepare CS to revert the cuts and also i wasn't impressed by this strain from my last run. So instead of getting pollen from them, i put som Cream Mandarine pollen on them!
I want to see if micro clones under a single bulb could provide a small amount of decent seeds.

Hi Cocolores, during flowering time i try to have lights at approx 30 cm from the canopy.
They were slightly more distant in the photo, I brought them a little closer.
The perspective is slightly deceiving in the photo, though.
However SILs have good penetration and if placed too close to the leaves they can cause yellowing or other problems.
That is also my ovservation, more yellow plants by the majority of growers using them too close or using too much SILs.

Tigre, i love the micro seed factory. 
the whole thing with SIL is spreading the light out and covering edge-to-edge. a lot of guys buy the strongest bulbs they can and try to hit a number. (watts/ft) that can work, but not with very limited height.
Tigre has done some growing with them and reads his plants, so not so many schoolboy errors, as you've noted.

Yes, having some rounds behind with this setup helped me to get the light distance tuned. My actual setup is less yellow than before - i mean overall °K of my bulbs - and the plants looks less yellow in the pictures also for this reasons.
Let's see what comes out!
