Just wanted to provide an update. Everyone is doing well and adjusting to their new homes. Veg porn to follow.

In the tent the X-files are going great, LVTKxGoofy Grape is doing well also.

2 of the LVTK and 3 of the X-files are showing girly parts. The jury is still out on the other 2.

Outside all is well. I've had some squirrels or chipmunks digging around but a liberal application of cayenne and garlic powder seems to have keep them away, so far. They didn't seem to be interested in the MJ, more the sunflowers and corn.

The sunlight on the cilantro in the background makes it look like it has yellow flowers.

So far it has been very dry here. We've barely had any rain in the last month. I expect this weather in California, not in New England. Now only if I can get this dry weather in September and October, that would be sweet.

Congrats on your first indoor, must have been an incredibly intimidating endeavour. Those things look rock solid.

Good to see the Pounders. I am trying to admire them ,,, and I keep getting distracted by that beautiful mulch. You wouldnt believe what passes as soil around here.

Thanks! Actually I was suprised by how well everything went. @SCJedi genetics were very easy to grow and not fussy at all. @HydroRed 's flood & drain took care of watering and QB132's for lighting. Being in the basement has helped. It's always cool. I don't have to worry about light leaks or even smells. The hardest part was lugging in the water. My tap water is hard (~400 ppm) so I buy my water at Wallyworld.

The best part is that it was a craigslist freebie. A guy in the next town has stables and is always giving away aged compost.

Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there!

Just an update on whats going on in the tent and outdoors. Both X-files and LVTKxGoofy Grape are doing great. Great news, the BBxNS that I'm trying to reveg is showing new growth.

Had a minor issue, the fan in the tent crapped out and the temp shot up. Nothing big, the lights on temp jumped from 77 to 85F.

The plan for this week is pot them up into 2 gallon pots, split them between the 2 F&D and flip them to 12/12.

Outside things have been going great. Ground Pounders are looking beefy. MACxDLA5 and MACxAAW are no slackers either. Here's some pics:

GP #2 Check out the beefy stalk.

GP #3

MACxDLA5 #1 This is the last photo. I might move him to the veg space inside to collect pollen or he may end up in the compost pile.

MACxDLA5 #3, also a boy. He's gotta go.

MACxAAW #1 and 2

The fan leaves on these are large. They are already bigger than my hand.

I mean't to update on a weekly basis but then I got high :ROFLMAO: . And life got in there too and computer probs, yada yada ya. So a weekly update turned into a monthly update.
Here's what's going on. I flipped the tent to 12/12 about 2 weeks ago. A month ago I found out that the 1st floor AC shit the bed and my cousin won't be able to get to it until the fall. Even though the AC is for the first floor, it still impacts the cellar. I'm so concerned about the rising humidity that I got a craigslist 50 pint dehumidifier. It's worth every penny. It works but it was a curb find. The tent is maxing out at 81F and 70%rh.

LVTKxGoofy Grape is front right, the other 4 are X-files from GK Genetics. It's starting to look like a Guy Fieri convention in there.

Outside is going great. Ground Pounder is really starting to stretch. It's trying to keep up with the corn. IT doesn't matter, the sunflowers will tower over then all.

20200721_group.jpg
GP3 from @Phylex is back left, with MACxAAW and MACxDLA5 from @Rosinallday filling out the rest of the bed along with the corn and sunflowers.
Here are GP#1 and #2, which are in different beds

Other stuff that's going on: I need to spray some BT-i outdoors. I've already picked off a couple of small green catapillars. I figure that I have a couple of days since they aren't in flower yet. I also collected pollen from the 2 LVTKxGG and a MACxDLA5. I would have collected pollen from Phylex's gear but I didn't get any boys. Also I was able to reveg the Bodega bubblegum x Nigerian Sunshine from @SCJedi. Pics to follow soon.

I want to believe also but if they're out there, I haven't seen then yet. I'm 8 for 8 girls with X-files and Ground Pounder.

I'm not doing anything special with the GP's and the rest of the outdoor gear, just some Espoma plant food because these girls are hangry.

I didn’t catch the whole script, but @JL2G named one ‘GOW’ male. I assumed it was relevant.
@spyralout I believe is 92 fems in a 100.
I have brought 14 GK’S to maturity . Galactic Funk, Paladin, God O War and Ground Pounder.
Saw one lone male -Galactic Funk.
I get super jealous of those outdoor monsters, I have never seen, with my real eyes, a plant that large.
I am licensed to grow indoor. It is possible to be approved for outdoor, here in Canada, and I am very interested. Advantageously, my county gets more sunlight than any other neighbourhood around.
ahhwell, I got at few years, at least, before I can grow outdoors. Gonna be hard enough keeping three daughters off the weed through high school. A cage full in the backyard may damage my credibility.

@Bruno8437 absolutely beautiful plants. You got skills my man. You're doing them right, and for our community breeders. Good shit ?

@Jewels pretty close. I am around 87% female on regs by way of GK. And yes you are right over 100 plants. So with our collective data, we can easily say with confidence that GK regs have this "magic female tendency" to them. IDK wtf the secret szechuan sauce is. It's just what has happened, and with a very sizeable sample. Environment? Maybe. Feed? Maybe. GK? Totally.

.. or raw, unadulterated coincidence ?
Who knows maybe @Phylex is keepin some secrets ?
Haha I’m just imagining the other way round.. almost 90% males lol.. would make for some sour growers ?

No doubt.
Bad news always travels faster.
How popular could a strain get, if no one had the chance to smoke it ?
I went 8:8 male on NL , haven’t looked at it since, don’t read about it, don’t know squat about it, and even though it is rock star famous ( 2 letters and you KNOW what it is;)) someone may have trouble selling me on it. It is a black hole for me,,,negative associations.

I hear you. Too many beans, too little time - on to the next. Besides that NL is too popular/trendy.

Yep, just one GOW male, and he is a pretty one.
He's got those nice wide fans and is strong with a sharp funk to him.
I'll be flipping him next week and collecting pollen when he's ready. 5 of his sister's were flipped a few days ago, and they'll all get hit. ???

@Jewels you've got your work cut out for you with them girls. Good luck with that. ???

@jpcyan2 you are absolutely right. If it wasn't for local stables and farms I wouldn't be growing anything. The first year that I was here, I went out to dig the garden and hit a rock the size of a volkswagen. Right then I thought raised beds would be good and the local stables were more than happy to help me fill up the beds. Now I just need to get my indoor game rockin' like my outdoor game.

Maybe I should hit you with some GK and you can try for yourself ???
Bro I’ve been meaning to mention.. been runnin those antique ammo box beans through the gauntlet of germination techniques again. By God if one of those will go, I’ll find it. Soaked a few days in water, then some into dirt and some into wet paper towel and I scuffed a few. ?

No doubt.

I find it’s just dumb luck. I’ve got 9/10 female before and 9/10 male. It’s like gambling. Sometimes it’s just not your day and you gotta take that walk of shame back to the stripperless hotel room
