Gotta love LP’s. Is it a specialty model? I have to say that I would take a good 335 over anythingAmong other great hobbies to have... the newest member of my familyNever had to pre-order a guitar before, and then wait months and months as the ship date kept getting pushed back. Totally worth it in the end though, this is one bad mofo.

Ah gibbys. I've owned a few, including a R9 that was magical and still kinda kick myself for selling. 335's are definitely cool, though I've never owned a semi-hollow myself (I play mostly metal).
This ESP LTD Eclipse isn't a specialty model, just in high demand. It's very smartly appointed, and is the kind of guitar Gibson should've been making for their modern/updated line. Instead, Gibson gave us "robo-tuners"

thats awesome, King Louis XIII has been one of my favorite smokes, never been able to find seed of it. cant wait to see how that one does. Also the Chem stuff you got from CSI, thats gonna be killer too.Driving home last night I saw one of those giant orange super moons. It immediately reminded me of all the old head growers saying the full moon gives your beans some extra mojo or something. I won't argue with them
I soaked,
SLH x JH (Authentic Genetics)
King Louis Xiii OG x Bruce Banner (Darkhorse)
And my last two ECSD S1's from Heisen

Oh yes I have to agree, it is killer smoke. I might try to make some f2’s. I know DarkHorse and Archive both made some crosses with it, and GGG did a backcross called Aspiare, which i shoulve scooped from GLG but I was too slow ?

Almost forgot, CannaExotics uses a King’s Banner male. Jbcseeds has his gear.

Up-potted the largest of the clones today into 1/2 gallons. I’ve got 7 more rooted clones and 13 seedlings to find space for, and since I’m hunting for keepers next round, I’m gonna take a stab at flowering in 1/2 gallons just to move quickly and reduce footprint.

MtRD,
What a beautiful green every thing you have going is, you must have your nutrient game on point.
Do you mind if I ask that grow method you are using??
Guess I'm asking about the fabric bags inside the plastic buckets. I am not familiar with that.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,

Hey thanks a lot @WillieP!
It's just a SIP system, a few inches of perlite in the bottom of the buckets that I can water into.
The plants develop a secondary root system dedicated to drinking the water from the perlite, and will drink
at their own pace that way. Hydroton works too.
When I water/feed, I remove the fabric pot from the bucket, and I make sure the fabric pots get 100% saturated and drains off completely
before returning to the bucket. I let the fabric pots get almost completely dry before watering or feeding again.
Not much to it honestly, and I think it's more of my habit than any kind of necessity.
I think of it more as growing a healthy, robust root system first and foremost, and everything up top just reflects that.

Thanks for the reply.
I will have to do some research on the whole SIP system. At a quick glance they seem pretty cool.
I tried running a couple of hempy buckets a while back, but I didn't seem to be able to get the PH stable.
A couple of questions, if you don't mind...
What type of medium are you using in the fiber pots? Soil? Coco?
And you mentioned you remove the fiber pot from the bucket to water/feed.
Don't the roots grow through the fiber pot and dive into the perlite?
Maybe I can't envision it. I would see the roots getting damaged by pulling them out.
I ran a modified F & D that used a 5 gallon tote with a 2 gallon fiber pot filled with hydroton.
All I can see is me trying to move that... Yeah, not happening...
My thinking is that you want to remove the pots from the buckets to water/feed because you don't want the run off to over saturate the perlite.
Is that correct?
Thanks for being patient with the dense guy with lots of questions.
Cheers,
WillieP

If using perlite, they’ll pretty much self-prune just outside the bottom of the fabric pot. Mine don’t ever look like a hydro root ball like that. Just little root ends poking through the pot.
If you use hydroton or introduce an actual water reservoir somehow, then yes, you’ll end up with massive root balls like that. I use to run that way (think Octopots), and it worked well, but I prefer to be able to move the plants around and take them out of the buckets.
When I water into the perlite, i make a small depression using my fingers, and slowly add water until i can see the water pooling up in the depression. You want that water line about an inch below the perlite surface.
For my soil/medium, it’s all about porosity to me. Nowadays I run 50% Pro-Mix HP, 25% EWC, and 25% Perlite.
I hand amend with the following (per cubic ft):
1 cup garden lime
1/2 cup espoma tomato tone
1/2 cup alfalfa meal
1/2 cup kelp meal
1-4 cups of azomite
I begin feeding seedlings from the get-go with 1/2 strength organic fish nutes. I like the Neptunes Harvest stuff for that. I continue 1/2 strength nutes like that every watering until they get mature, then it’s full strength every other watering. I also start out with 1/4-1/2 strength CalMag from the get go. If they dont look deficient, I cut that out since the soil is well buffered anyway.
I switch to their Rose & Bloom formula for flowering, and also use a salt based PK booster.

We might have to give your method a try next round. Nice roots!

All the kiddos are looking good. The five SLH x JH on the left showing some of that F1 vigor. The rooted clones are in the middle column, and that completely stunted Critical Jack auto in the upper right probably going to get the chop soon. I put it in the 1gal fabric pot, but I think I could've just left it in the Solo cup. It smells fantastic though.
There's two ECSD S1's in the upper left. I've got one in flower too right now, planning on keeping the best of the three.
On the right there's four King Louis Xiii OG x Bruce Banners, and two Sour Diesel x Cali-O's.
