Ah yes back on the photoperiods and been a long time coming, at last the groom is a flower room only, bring down the electric bill that's for sure! My usual set up;
The groom in the cellar - 1.2/3 meters x 2 meters with 2 meters height
x2 parabolic shades with 400w dualspec in each
pro rhino filter with 8 inch extraction - passive intake
x3 fans 2 large on the floor at different heights 1 small fan on wall
Gold Label Special Mix soil and root cubes for seeds
I started two Dinamed cbd plants from Dinafem around the same time as my last auto grow, soed seeds in root cubes and then in small 1ltr pots then 7ltr and into final 14ltr pots. Under a 125w blue cfl until I put them in the 7ltr pots, changed the light a 250w MH my ole faithful and that blew after a few weeks was well past it's time, they had out grown the 7tlr pots so into the final 14ltrs and after a week I gradually extended the darkness to 12/12 clipping an hr off each day using a dualspec 250w hps. One of them I bent completely over when they went into the 7ltr pots as looked to be a tall girl and managed to get a nice ball shaped wee bush.
They are coming to the end of 5 full weeks of flower today think they started true flower in the 1st week of December. I ended up neglecting them by about the 3rd week of flower and the ball shaped girl has shown it big time, the left alone one has recovered but was showing the signs as well, I let them get dry too many times. Had to take quite a few leaves during the veg cycle as never seen such bushy plants, should've taken more off the ball shaped one while in veg just before flowering as she is still very leafy, but as it happens with her def probs at the mo I'm taking more off lol
Almost forgot both plants have, the only description is conjoined stems. At the top ther's a freaky looking double bud! Got one on the ball shaped plant and two on the normal one both being the lowest stems and they grew completely up the main trunk so puuled them out and tied to canes. Glad i kept them on was going to snip them off!
Well here they are should've had more inbetween pics but lost them
The beginning, late September

So the ball shape is a bit sickly, so far the buds haven't been to badly affected he says lol this where my novice bit airs itself as ain't got a clue what to do about it lol the run offs read well so just carry on with the feed schedule of which there on an ec of 1.2 - 1.4 varying, the natural one is doing ok now and is getting the 1.4. Both sit directly under a light each. I think I may of added to ball shapes problems by having her higher up on a bucket in the middle of the two 400's while the autos were still in there and this area being a lot warmer along with the feeding neglect. I hope she pulls thru now the buds are coming on proper she is probably about 4-5 days behind the other and likely a diff phenotype.
Alrighty here's the young'uns, these two - Big Buddha Seeds Blue Cheese and Reserva Privada's Strawberry Banana - both popped their little heads in early December via the root cubes, may as well call the 1st Dec day 1. I use a little seed box that holds the cubes and kept between 19-23c with a desk lamp right on top, once roots showing put into 1ltr pots with the soil mix and the SB kinda didn't like it maybe a bit too strong, as it happens I don't think I watered this one thru. Mostly under the cfl blue 125w and now being put in the groom while lights are on then back in with the cfl. Will have them under a 250w dualspec by tomorrow where they'll stay vegging on 18/6.

Did have the pot change pics of the roots and were almost completely root bound before I put them into 5ltr pots with lovely bright white roots. The Strawberry Banana is showing some hunger or it's damaged roots due to me breaking the soil picking the pot up lopsided lol I dunno never been good at def issues. They've already done a week in the 5ltr pots and are poking their roots thru the holes in the bottom of them, gonna go re-pot the Blue Cheese again after this write up and will leave the SB till looks a bit better plus the SB needs a topping!
Here they are, yesterdays pics at almost 6 weeks from seed
Blue Cheese some of the leaves showing a wee bit of exodus lineage maybe?

Well here I go on a nice and easy take your time photo grow ah yes time to sit back n be cool lol will add other strains that I've been meaning to get going, hopefully a few will take, as I did have a Blue cheese, POGK and a couple of silver bubbles fail, the latter two were old and wasn't well stored do have some more of the pogks so will try another.
A big thanks to TGC as the Big Buddha Blue Cheese is from you guys from a comp a couple years ago.
I think that covers everything? All the best dal
