Returned from camping today. Plants were left unattended for three days. Four days since they were watered. The THC Bomb were drooping, but perked up after watering.
Six plants were positively sexed as males; U#2, U#3, U#4, U#6, U#7 and S#2. Also Two were identified as females; S#1 and S#3.
Removed males and their clones.
The cloner had lots of roots. Transplanted J-11C1 and T6C1 into 3" pots and removed cloner from veg area.
Watered all remaining plants.

Whew, now that we're all caught up. Please feel free to comment and offer suggestions, it should be pretty clear by now that I don't really know what I'm doing.
So I am down to 9 plants in the flower chamber. I know that's way too many, and I should free up some more room if I find any more males.

T#4 turned out to be a male, down to eight.
U#5 turned out to be a female.
2015.07.09
T#1,T#5, and T#6 also male.
T#2 is the last THC Bomb, hope it's a girl.
Could the accidental 20 hours of darkness have increased the number of males? So far I've had 2/3 males.
I think I will pick the best three and put them under the modular screens. Waiting to see sex of each plant first.

Finished the modular ScrOG screens. The frame is made of 3/4" boards. They are attached with screws into the 9x9" pots. The screen is made with nylon string weaved together through the eyelets.
Transplanted U#5, S#1, and S#3. The screens fit perfectly.
The clones are doing well. Going to top a couple taller ones.

Fed according to schedule for the stretch:
12 ml/gal Bio Vega
8ml/gal Bio Boost
2ml/gal Rhizotonic
Run off measured pH 6.2
S#1
S#3
U#5
Flower chamber temperature 77*F-82*F, RH 39%-56%.
J -11 showed female finally. Gave her some tough love (super cropped) and put her back in veg, hopefully I can keep her for next round. T#2 still didn't show sex. Just tossed it and kept the clone.
Veg temperature 77*F-84*F, RH 36%-50%.
Have to go out of town for three days. So hope they do well alone.
Questions, comments, or concerns? Don't be shy.

Wishing I would have made something like that trellis for my bb x sd months ago. I ended up just cutting off a bunch of bud sites in order to make an even canopy. Probably lost about a 1/2 o because of it.
It's looking great though, keep up the nice work

Been overdue for an update so here we go.

Got back from my trip and everyone did fine without me. I like to think they missed me. I was super tired and accidentally fed the girls the same mixture as last time. Watered plants in veg.

U#5 AKA - Two
S#1 AKA - Stahma
S#3 AKA - Dutch
If you didn't catch it, they are named after Syfy Friday.

About two weeks into flower. Pruned a few big leaves from under the canopy, tucked everything below the screen, then gave everyone a glass of water and put them to bed.
Group shot, lighter for scale.
Oops, got too carried away and chopped J -11 way back. Thinking she will be the mom and I'll flower J -11 Jr. next round.

Decided to pop another 5 THC Bomb seeds.
The stretch seems to have slowed down. The leaves are a nice green so seems like they have plenty of nitrogen. Fed flowering plants 1/2 gallon of the lowest recommended dosage for this phase of growth:
12 ml/gal Bio Flores
8 ml/gal Bio Boost
2 ml/gal Rhizotonic
Dutch has the most bud sites.
Two does seem a little different than her sisters, might be something other than SLH.
And last but not least the beautiful Stahma. She has the most fragrant smell of the three.

Hello again! Time for another update.
2015.08.02
About 4 weeks Flowering.
Upped nutrients a little, fed:
14 ml/gal Bio Flores
10 ml/gal Bio Boost
2 ml/gal Rhizotonic
SLH can take 9-10 weeks, so still a long way to go.

Stahma

Group shot with LED on.
Veg and 5 little THC Bomb seedlings.

Got a lot done tonight. Transplanted the starter pods to 3". Filled pots 2/3 full of soil then watered well with:
16 ml/gal Rhizotonic
8 ml/gal Bio Vega
Put in the pods and backfill with soil.
Took cuttings from mothers and cut them back again. Seems to be every week they need a good trim, will probably trim the roots in a couple more weeks.
Got 7 cuttings in the cloner. Starting in the center with S1, then clockwise S3,S3,U5,U5,J11,J11
Veg is packed again. Seedlings on left, mom's on right and clones in back.
Trying to get some bud shots...
This is the biggest bud so far on Stahma.
This is the biggest on Dutch

Watered the plants in flower.

This picture shows the growth of the three plants from day 7 flowering to day 30.
I also ordered another Blackstar Chrome 180w. I got thinking, this original plan was for a 250w HPS. Also in order to cover my canopy I've had to raise the light 24 inches above the plants. With a second unit, not only will I be closer to the original 250w, but I will also be able to lower the lights and get better coverage.

Watered seedlings and mom's. Still no roots on the clones. A couple of the seedlings aren't going to make it. I don't like the pods I used, they weren't peat.
Fed flowering plants:
15 ml/gal Bio Flores
15 ml/gal Bio Boost
2 ml/gal Rhizotonic

Two, I cleaned a whole bunch from under the screen to see the difference.
