Just to interject, the 3Elders showed sex on its 5th true node, haven't even gotten it out of the 4" pot yet. It's a male. Was a good looking one, too. Still 3 more to sex.

I'd hit one of his sisters for sure. Males do show sex sooner than the females. All they want to do is pollinate, the sooner the better.

I thought I put up some pictures of the ladies. These gals are in various states of maturity from 6 to 52 days since flipping them to 11/13.

I'm a caregiver for 2 MMJ card holders so this won't be all mine. I'm going to try and get a few more MMJ card holders to join my collective. They're aren't many MMJ card holders that I will consider letting join. I don't get to grow them big so I only get a couple ounces off each of them. These are only about 3 1/2' tall sitting in the pots. I just zoom in to make them look big.

I transplanted Gooey into a 2 gallon pot the other day. She is starting to take off and I should be getting some cuttings off her in a couple more weeks.

I haven't shown my attempt to take the variegated Goblin Girl far into the yellow. She is still in a gallon pot and hasn't died. Those yellow leaves tend to die along the edges though. I put her into a 4" pot on June 29 so she has been slowly getting bigger. There is a branch I'm watching to take a cutting off her and get her back to a more reasonable amount of yellow.

Here is one that is with the teenagers. I transplanted her into a 5 gallon pot and she is doing just fine.

That's about the right amount of yellow to have a normal growing girl.

I've got 4 ladies that are suppose to finish before the end of the year. One of them is my Mazar-I-Shariff x Guerrero but she is not done yet. I think she is getting close to the finish. Last Wednesday was 8 weeks for her. My Cascadian Frost has the tightest buds I've seen. They're like rocks. I don't know if I'm going to like this too much because they will be hard to break apart for rolling in joints.

Not the best picture but you can see how tight those flowers are. My Goblin Queen #2 is done this coming Wednesday but I think she is almost done now.

I've said before how much I enjoy the smell of this lady. You disturb a Goblin Queen and she puts off this wonderful grape smell.

I've been experimenting with enzyme teas because of the recommendation I got from CC. I was looking into using these teas for stimulating the SAR response in the plant. CC said that it will shorten the finish time to harvest too. I trust CC's experience but until I do the work myself I may be a little hesitant to believe it.

My last run of Goblin Queen was 68 days from flipping to 12/12 to harvest. She looked like this around harvest time.

Goblin Queen #2 is 2 weeks behind the Goblin Queen above but they look almost identical in growth. It is only a one trial experiment but it has results that are worth continuing. I don't know if my lack of PM and mites is due to the enzymes triggering a SAR response but I don't have any. I think that CC's observation about lessening the growth time to harvest is good though.

Now don't think, great I'll speed it up even more by watering with enzymes every time. That's not what I'm doing. Like all things if you overdo it you might get negative results. So I'm only watering around every 2 weeks with the enzymes. Here is what I'm doing.

I take 1 tablespoon of malted barley per gallon. I'm using a 5 gallon bucket so that's 5 tablespoons of malted barley. I put the barley in a coffee grinder and turn it to powder and dump it in my bucket. To this I add 1/4 cup of kelp meal. I add the kelp more for the SAR response and not as part of the enzyme treatment. I drop my air stone in the bucket and bubble this 4-6 hours. I strain off the kelp meal and throw that in my compost bin. I like this and think CC was right on with his information.

I have a good idea how my pheno hunting build out will look like. I'm going with a 4x5' area and 69" in height. I'm dividing it into 20" and 40" with the 20" again divided with a shelf that is 45" up from the floor. The top part of the 24" shelf with be for popping seeds and the bottom 45" will be the veg area. The other 40" space will be open for the ladies. I'll run 4 tube 4' T5s for lighting the 3 spaces.

I'll go from popped seed to gallon pots in the veg area. Then after 3-4 weeks I'll move them to 2 gallon pots and put them in the flower area. I figure I can have 12 ladies at a time in the flower area. These are rough estimates and I won't know for sure until I build it out.

First I've got to remove this shelving.

I spent the whole day without medication because I've been building in the cellar. I got those shelves removed and added the wiring and laid down the floor. I probably won't get to work in this again until Christmas day. My wife will be working and if no grandkids stay with me I'll be building.

Very nice. Looks like you got a solid amount of space to work with in that house of yours. How many sq ft is your basement anyhow?

Out of the 4 3Elders I popped, 2 are male and 1 female and the runt has yet to show sex. The largest Old Goblin is looking to be a female and the others I am not sure of yet. Popped 3 Goblin Scepters 2 weeks ago, but only 1 germed. It was only a few days after popping them that I realized I had another infestation of bulb mites, critters that stalk your plants' roots in the soil. It's damn near impossible to get any clones or seeds established with those fuckers lurking around. Ordered predatory mites and they are no longer an issue so I might be popped some more scepters here soon.

I don't have a basement, it's really a cellar. Dirt floor for most of it. Low ceiling. As far as square footage I've to about got about 60 square feet that is being used for the girls. I really don't have much room at all. My ceiling is barely 7' at the tallest point. I have to duck under the center heating and work my way around the plumbing pipes. I wish I had a basement. Then I'd be running my girls like SG1.

You are talking about Goblin Septer or Goblin Scepter (a Sanctuary Gardens cultivator)?

what's the difference? I mixed the 2 together... I thought it was a misspelling somewhere...

Shit I'm getting confused now.

I bred a Goblin queen off the first goblin queen run.
#1 pheno of run #1, this the cut I gave Pak.
It was bred to a Halo bx2 not bx3 as I told Pak as it was a guess of the seed he found in a GQ#1 bud.(Goblin scepter) I misspelled it as septer
I have a 1,000 seeds of this breeding.
And should be a nice cross.

My fault for the confusion I think.
Any Pak crosses using this seed is Goblin scepter x (Enter name here)
So Pak has GS cross, and I have the GS directly.
We'll figure it out.
