I've done it a handful of times with no negative affects. It def helps when you have a full spot and you need to make quick decisions based on space and making sure you can utilize all the space as much as possible. Nothing worse than having room for 6-8 plants and you find out after 7 wks of veg and 2 weeks of flower that you only have 1-2 girls.

up potted a Dread Bread x SSDD (left) and a Blueberry Hashplant S1 (right) into 1 gallon trade pots. Roots Organic soil with castings 4tsp Biolive, and a tsp each of azomite and insect frass.

Looks like I’ve got thrips. I’ve been seeing some little patches of mottling on some of the leaves and at first thought it was burn from misting the plants with a light h2O2 solution with lights on. Photo evidence says it’s something more.

I may have incorrectly identified these guys. I got some feedback that it could be springtails. I’ve only seen them in the soil and haven’t caught anything other than one or two fungus gnats on my yellow stickies.

Of the five regular beans I have going, three I’m pretty sure are dudes, one I think might be a dude, and one other is really not showing… Dropped three more Blue Ripper Tributes and an Orion from @Dino Party

A close up of my Dread Bread x SSDD. Nice looking plants with two showing a hybrid fan leaf and one very Afghan broad leaf looking plant. The plant on the left has a nice structure and purple petioles. It smells like stink bug with chocolate notes. The middle plant was dropped about two weeks later and is pretty similar to the first plant in looks and smell. The third was a runt for a while and then started shooting up at repot. The lower internodes are very stretchy while the uppers are tighter. This broader leaf pheno has a more sharp sweet scent. Unfortunately looking at the sex organs it looks like I have a sausage party going and I killed off the rest of the pack with a poor run at seed popping. Oh well…

This Blue Ripper Tribute from @SSGrower was a dude, leaves are a little on the broader side. Nice structure and with average to somewhat shorter internode spacing. He has met the ax.

This is the one I was unsure of the other day. As fortunate has it she’s a lady (insert best Tom Jones impression). She’s about to earn some bigger shoes.

I’m off to an optimistic start with these BBHP cuts, and three of four of my fresh seedlings are up. The straggler was the BRT that wasn’t showing a tail when I dropped it in the soil. I’m in Light Warrior and Worm Castings. I have a small amount of H2O2 in my water in hopes of keeping pathogens at bay.
Here is my BBHP S1 from @HydroRed , she got topped a couple of days ago and is looking read for some new shoes.

its all lookin real nice! BBHP is blueberry hash plant?

Yep, sure is!

 

[Dino Party]

id like to smoke that.

Did a little top dress the other days. They could both use new shoes, but I figured a little too dress could give me a few days until I up pot them. I also gave a dose f Dr Zymes for the first time. I’m trying to take a more proactive approach to IPM.

 

[chiefer888]

I up potted BBHP and BRT. BBHP I’m going to run in a 3 gallon pot and BRT is in a 2 gallon. Soil was amended in the same fashion as my previous run.

Those look like instar stage thrips to me. They would be in the soil at that stage of life.

I’m currently operating under the assessment that these are springtails. I am upping my IPM game, so hopefully if they turn out to be thrips I have created an environment that they won’t be able to thrive in.

Since up potting BBHP has seemed a little under the weather. She got droopy initially and so I gave a generous watering, probably overwatered a plant in transplant shock. The Blue Ripper is taking it a little better. She’s a bit on the stocky side, I’ve been waiting for her to put on some more height she’s short and bushy and BBHP is lanky with an open branching build. They are quite different plants.

Maybe clear out some of those fan leaves and give her a booster seat?

Those are some remarkably wide blades and most of the BlueRipper I grew was average to below average height, yours actually looks squat with tighter node spacing. Someone with more knowlege might pipe in here but that might be a blueberry dom.

 

[chiefer888]

Well, I got two of three BBPH clones to root. This is my first successful cloning, so I’ll chalk that up as a positive. I just transplanted them into small grow bags.

 

[chiefer888]

The ladies got a dose of Dr Zymes and have been flipped to 12/12.
