Lemon Shiv in Automated SIPs For Soil

[thailer]

Finally got a chance to pop my pack of Lemon Shiv and I am so excited!! I got these at the Portland expo and they're bred by Capulator. the testers were shown to be stable and have ammonia and pine terps. it is a cross of bodhi's pinesoul with Freezerburn called Shiver Me Timbers and CFL which is Lemon Fire x Freezerburn. Finally, freezerburn is mac1(super lemendawg x miracle 15).

i got a freebie pack of these in a clear snap lid vial that had 12 beans of which 11 have broken ground. they're currently in little containers with seedling soil which is 9 parts sphagnum peat moss, 1 part rice hulls and 1 part EWC with a small handful of kelp meal. i think its a awesome mix for seeds.

The plants will go into SIPs once sexed. I design my SIPs differently that others who use peat moss as the wick. i fill the reservoir with drainage pipe and perlite so the soil is not sitting in water and instead on a bed of perlite that wicks water up to it. the roots grow down into the pipes and all the way to the bottom. its really increased my yeild and resin production. they transpire like crazy and growth is much better than when i was handwatering 20 gallon fabric pots. this last run i forgot about the veg because i put solo cup clones in SIPs and then filled up the rez to walk away for the holiday. when the reservoir was empty (it's outside the room) i went to check on the plants and realized three weeks had past and i had ready to flower plants. i basically missed veg with all the hub bub of holiday cheer.

in nine weeks the flower room will be empty and i'm hoping to have plants ready to flower out. maybe make some F2's for the fridge. i have a feeling these will be a fire pack.

wish i could change the title. lol These are going to be flowered out in five gallon pots.

so some shit went down a few days after posting and i had to get my plant count down so i gave six plants to a trusted friend. He put his under LED and they didn't show sex until he moved them under CMH. The LED lights really made the internode space less for a more bushy appearance, but since going under the CMH they look more like my plants. So due to the sex refusing to show despite mine showing for weeks earlier, this grow show has been waiting quite a while.

he ended up with 3 males and 3 females. I ended up with four females and one male which i culled because it was flowering during veg and releasing teaspoons of pollen. his males seem to not do this so we are keeping them for the chosen female after flowering them all out.

this is the lamest thread i've ever done but i wanted to update for anyone looking for Lemon Shiv info.

So i've ran it twice now so i just harvest a round in a SIP. They all have a lemon pine smell which is probably no surprise. they are very vigorous plants and yield should be pretty high. they got that frost you seek when getting cap genetics. they were all very leafy so i am gonna be trimming for a while but all the leaves are covered in trichomes so if you like that sort of thing, she will be a beast. at week 8-9 theres a big surge in weight so hold out for that but you should get some soda pop can sized colas if she gets big enough feet on her. doubles in stretch and she does side branch a lot.
