Thanks Chloemobile, I think they will love it. I also have to thank Dion and Grouchy for the advice. Also a big thanks to all of ICMag. Without you I would still be paying too much for lower quality medicine! Speaking of medicines, I'm excited for The Juanita de la Lagrimosa. It has 1:1 THC:CBD ratio. I have found this to be the best for mood stability and combating anxiety.

I'm always glad to help. Pointing out things I found out along the way and helping others out is what I love most about these forums.
I have wanted to try a higher cbd strain but I don't have access to any yet. I'm going to try and let one of mine run a little longer and turn more amber and see if I notice a difference.

The two Juanita de la Lagrimosa seeds finally germinated after two days soak and 24 hours in the paper towels. I'll be planting one in my PC and another I'm going to veg and clone for my main grow.
On the left is the new 500ml soda bottle that's been cut down and holes drilled in the bottom. It is filled with a mix of 1/3 perlite and 2/3 basic potting soil. The soil was watered using the submersion method with Supertrhive at 10 drops/gal. It will get put in the PC and go 12/12 from seed. On the right is my normal 3" container. It is filled with Fox Farms Coco Loco. This was watered with 8 ml/gal Bio Vega and 16 ml/gal Rhizotonic. It will go in my veg chamber and I will clone it and grow it in my main grow.
Since I can still fit three more soda bottles in there, I decided to pop more seeds. I got a seedling mat and decided to pop two Afghani regular seeds.
I was curious how much of a difference, if any, there was in container size. On the left is the soda bottle filled to the top with perlite. On the right is the old container filled with the exact same amount. So they do hold a little less than the old ones, but that should help to keep size in check.
She went on the seed mat above my T5HO. I think this will also help my cloning because they still have no roots.
I covered the soda bottle with plastic wrap and placed it in the PC with everyone else. They sure seem to enjoy the new light.

That's more like it, 24-hours on the seed mat and the two Afghani seeds poped. They got planted in soda bottles and watered with Superthrive at 10 drops/gal.
I watered everything else with:
6 ml/gal Bio Flores
4 ml/gal Bio Boost
2 ml/gal Rhizotonic
SLH x PE are 9 weeks from seed. They have been flowering for 4.5 weeks.
DOG are 7 weeks from seed. They have been flowering for about two weeks.
T#1 (front) has been flowering for about a week. DCC still hasn't shown any signs of starting to flower.
Finally HG69 is nice and short, not quite ready to flower, but I think I should be seeing pistils any day now. And here are the new seedlings with their plastic wrap.
Shot of the whole PC. I need to get my timing down better, but for the most part you can see how this is perpetual. If this was not perpetual, I don't think I could have 1/2 the number of plants in there.

Remember that first THC Bomb male I pulled out of the PC? Well I didn't have the heart to kill him, so he's been chilling in my bathroom window. This is my idea for catching the pollen. It's a piece of plastic with a slit cut down the middle. I want to target the bottom of all the girls in the PC bonsai sultan style.

Coming along on the back. I still need to solder the 12VDC power and mount them on the back, but it's a manageable mess now.
SLH x PE here at about 4.5 weeks flowering.
The DOG are about two weeks flowering. DOG2 in the front is getting a little burnt from the light., I'm hoping she will stop stretching, I may take more fan leaves to encourage her.
T#1 in the front has been flowering for about a week. DCC finally showed me a pistil or two.
That short HG69 is also showing a few pistils. I'll call this Day0 flowering for DCC & HG69. Also on the left you can see Juanita de Lagrimosa (JDL) has sprouted and is getting her first set of leaves. Also the two Afghani (AFG) have sprouted.
Here is a shot of the whole box. Overall it's working as advertised. The seedlings didn't get watered, but everything in 3" pots got fed:
6 ml/gal Bio Flores
4 ml/gal Bio Boost
1 ml/gal Rhizotonic

The seedlings dried out enough that I needed to water them. I'm trying Dr.Bud's recipe here, two droppers full of Shultz 10-15-10, 1 tablespoon FE, and 4 drops of Superthrive per gallon. I dislike the smell of the FE, but if the plants are drinking it, not me. I mixed up 1/2 gallon of this and when I went to test the PH, it was dead nuts on at 6.0. If this happens consistently it will make it a pretty easy schedule.
I cut off the top of a 2L soda, filled it up to about 1/4 in above where the soil is, and dunked the whole thing. It bubbled a little, then I let it sit for a minute. Let it drain and put it back.

THC4 was light stressed, cold stressed, and deprived of water and food. It started throwing a couple of pistils as a result. Took everyone into the upstairs bathroom. Here they will do the dirty deed. Hope to make some more seed to keep up this project.
THC Bomb x Pineapple Express = Hawaiian Terrorist
This is PE1(THC4/PE1), my favorite of the two.
This is PE2 (THC4/PE2).
THC Bomb x Deadhead OG = ?
This is DOG1 (THC4/DOG1).
This is DOG2 (THC4/DOG2), both of these stretched a ton for this setup. They don't seem to do as well 12/12 from seed as the others. Got a clone off of DOG2 that I'm turning into a mom. I'll see if they work better as clones.
THC Bomb F3
Here is his sister T#1(THC4/THC1).
THC Bomb x Delicious Cheese Candy = Bomb Pop
This is DCC1 (THC4/DCC1).
THC Bomb x Holy Grail 69 = Holy Handgranade
Finally HG69 (THC4/HG69).

SLHxPE They should be done in a week or two.
DOG2 in the front fried his top on the COB, so I cut off the burnt part and broke his neck.
THC Bomb and DCC looking good so far.
HG69 also looking good.
Two AFG, a JDL, and a MEX in soda bottles.
Whole shot of the PC.

Mixed up 7 drops Shultz 10-15-10, 2 drops Superthrive, and 1/2 tablespoon Alaskan Fish Fertilizer to 1/2 gal of water. Watered these using the submersion method. The poor little MEX is not handling it well. Keeps coming out. I think I'll top water until I see roots on the bottom.

Today is the first harvest from my PC! My next one is still three weeks away, and I didn't get any seeds to pop on time. So my timing needs work.
Taking PE1 (left) and PE2 (right) at 9 weeks flowering. PE1 looks like the nicer of the two plants. Shorter and a fatter bud.
Luckily, my main grow was just harvested and put in jars. So i can dry these in there for now. I missed the timing on that one too.
I left the bottom of each in an attempt to revert them back to a vegetive state. They got a good rinse of pH 6.1 tap water and moved under my T5HO.
AFG1 turned out to be a male, but both JDL2 and AFG2 are showing their pistils. There is a bare spot. I tried germinating some more seeds from that shady fellow who gave me the Purple Train Wreck with no luck. Need to go digging and see what I can pop.
2016.01.03
After three days hanging to dry I manicured and weighed the buds.
PE1 weighs in at 3.3 grams. It has seeds so I should get my first cross. I'll let the bud cure a while before de-seeding it.
PE2 weighed in at 2.7 grams. This one has a LOT of seeds. Looks like I'll have plenty of new beans for my box.
2016.01.04
Added PE3 and PE4 covered in plastic. Fed everything the usual.

So I got quite a few seeds officially they are T4/PE1 and T4/PE2. The former had a denser bud and was more resinous. It also produced more green seeds. The latter had fewer seeds but less dense bud. PE1 is a bit stronger (like her mother), but PE2 smells stronger.
The plants are just chilling in my veg, I'll see if either will revert back or not. I'm interested if she would even bother since she's been fertilized?
