I plugged in my Kill A Watt. 54 watts, not bad.
I got a cheap ppm meter to see how hard my water is. It is very hard at about 230 ppm.
I mixed up:
4 drops/gal Superthrive
2 droppers full/gal Shultz 10-15-10
15 ml/gal Fish Emulsion
This ended up at 678 ppm feed with a pH of 6.0.
I totally need a RO filter, they aren't too expensive.

The two Strawberry Cream (SBC1 and SBC2) came up vigorously. Confirmed both SLH2 and MEX4 are female so it's officially day 0 flowering.

Whole shot of the PC. Starting to get a bit of a fungus gnat problem. Been spraying neem oil with pretty good results. I think it's from the Juanita clone that died off that increased the population. I'm going to get some DE this weekend and top with that.
Got my latest seed order. A lot of freebies to put in the PC, and even a couple I bought may go in there. I am thinking about running the white widow or the cheese next. My latest batch of seeds didn't germinate, they may be too new still. When I cut it open there was an "embryo" in there, it just couldn't make it out of the seed casing.

Still fighting these damn fliers. The neem oil was keeping the population in check, but not eliminating the problem. So I got some granular diatomaceous earth (NAPA #8822) and put a thin layer down on the bottom.
Next I added a layer of DE on top. There were a couple where I cut the lowers to make room. They will just go in the hash bin.
So far (two days) the White Widow still hasn't cracked. I'm kind of dissapointed. I only ordered one because I was a couple of dollars short of more freebies

The DE combined with the neem oil has taken care of most of my fungus gnat issues. I saw a dramatic decline in the number I saw today, and of those very few were flying around. In addition, the White Widow seed eventually cracked a little bit, so she went into the soil and I'm hoping she will make it.

Great setup, ReikoX. You're pulling some nice looking buds out of this case.
Must. Build. Faster

No, unfortunately it didn't make it. It was from Royal Queen Seeds. I think it needed to be soaked in water before going into the paper towels.

I've got a Juanita coming out tomorrow, wait till you see her!

My fungus gnat problem is pretty much gone. I'll see a few when I water, but not much else. The two DOG were burning their heads on the LEDs so I topped that bud. They were about a week or two into flower. I had to do the same thing to a PE and it looks like the yield will be about average. I've also had to pull three males. They were replaced with some clones I had taken

I did some pollen chucking a while back. The one I was most excited for was the THC Bomb x Pineapple Express AKA Hawaiian Terrorist. Well the seeds were small and a bit green, and I've tried two or three times to get them to germinate with no success.
I tried again; this time I put them in a small tube with sand paper rolled up. I put nine seeds in the tube and walked around with it all day in my pocket. That evening I put them in water and they soaked for a couple of days. Finally I put them between some paper towels.
After a few days nothing happens and I forgot about them. About a week went by and when I checked one had a small tap root and was struggling to get out of the shell. So I carefully used tweezers and a razor to free it from the shell and planted it. Putting it in my veg with 18/6 with a humidity dome.
A few more days go by and the seedling is big enough to take off the dome. She's finally gotten her first leaves so she goes into the PC tonight.
A couple of days ago I was transplanting the re-veg mother and found two fat healthy seeds in what was left of the bottom buds!
Today's state of the box. There is a MEX that will get pulled in a couple of days. There are still a few empty spots. Time to start next week's seeds: Holy Grail 69 x THC Bomb AKA Holy Handgranade.

I missed the harvest day picture, but here is MEX1 after trimming and hanging for a day. It's a massive thick bud. If the smoke is good she could be a winner for the PC. I'll have final weight after she dries.
Here are the results of my pollen chucking. The Hawaiian Terrorist on the bottom right, and the two Holy Handgranades are the other two.
These three are some clones I put in when I had to pull a bunch of males. They are Pineapple Express (bottom left), Juanita la Lagrimosa (top), and THC Bomb (bottom right).
Here we have the Cheese (front), Deadhead OG (top left), and Super Lemon Haze (top right).
Here we have the two headed monster, Pineapple Express. The two in the back are the Deadhead OG that I had to top a week into flowering as well. It worked out OK for the PE.
Here we have the Super Lemon Haze with a broken neck (front), and two more MEX in the back.
And finally they all got put back into the PC. This is how I do canopy management. I only open the PC every other day. I try to leave the plants alone until then.

Final weight came in at 4.91 g. That's a very dense bud there. I left the bottom two buds to re-veg, so it could have been more. I grew this from a bag of Mexican brick. It smells and tastes just like it, but more so. Same flavor, but more pronounced. It's amazing how different it looks when unmolested and not compressed.

Here we have PE3 AKA the Two Headed Monster. She burned her head on the COB while a few weeks into flowering, so I cut off the burnt bud. She repaid me with two large nuggets on top.
State of the box, it looks pretty empty right now, but I'm sure that wont last long.
2016.04.02
These dried out real fast. Here is my weight, but I think I will need to burp the jars for a few more days. Still an impressive haul at 6.5 grams!

It's getting pretty crowded in there. Next week I have three plants coming out, a SLH and two MEX. My SLH clone took off and burned a few fan leaves. When I tried to bend her main stem I snapped it clean off. That will teach her not to touch the lights.
This week is another freebie from Herbies, Dinafem OG Kush.
2016.04.08
Added Dinafem OG Kush to soil today. Still flushing the two MEX and the SLH. The SLH smells just like black pepper, it's odd and I hope it mellows after harvest and cure.
2016.04.12
Getting crowded, luckily three more come down Thursday.
2016.04.14
Harvested two Mexicans (sides) and a SLH (middle) today.
That solved my overcrowding issue for now. Also the OG Kush is above ground and looking good. This week will be two Critical+.
2016.04.17
MEX3 came in at a whopping 5.89 grams of some nice dense bud.
MEX4 came in at 5.52 grams, I thought she would have been the winner because she had buds all the way down to the soil. However, MEX3 had denser buds and (barely) won out.
SLH came in at 5.53 grams. Another respectable number. Now that she is dried the overwhelming smell of black pepper has mellowed out and now is a hint of spice and hay (haze).
