I haven't been on here for a long while, life has been busy. However, due to a power failure I have lost everything and need to start over. I've been wanting to try BOG's gear for some time and I just ordered 10 Blue Kush, 20 Sour Grape, and 20 Sour LSD.
I need to get back up and running asap. I generally run SOG, with 4x 400W lamps over 4x 2'x2' trays with 16 cuttings per tray. I need to find a quality mother asap.
I would prefer to do this with all hydro (because that's what I'm good at) but I know this can cause some complications (can be hard to cull males when roots are mixed together). I would be willing to use soil if I cannot come up with a good hydro solution. I'm thinking of doing two 25 plant runs, but I will only do one run if I find a quality plant to use as a mother in the first run.
So, please offer some suggestions for the most efficient way to get from seeds to a selected mother plant.
What would happen, If I just grew them all in my trays, and cut the males out by the base when they show sex, and left the roots in the table while the females finished?? This way, I could cut clones from every plant before flowering, then toss the associated male clones when the males are identified. Then I could immediately start vegging all of the female clones before the seed plants finish flowering. Then after sampling, I can cull or keep whichever ones to carry on. My main worry here is leaving the males roots in the tray to rot while the females finsih.
Thanks!
