That fade is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks brother. I'm really digging them too.

None of the GOW I've ran so far had that. I'll be watching for it in the pHunt.

Keep in mind we're running in two different environments. These are in my main tent that is heavily influenced by outdoor temps. This time of year I need to run a space heater at night to keep the temp at or above 60 when lights are off. I let the lights do the work during the day. However, while their influence is impactful, it's minimal. They keep me in the high 60's - mid 70's depending on the day. These winter grows run cooler and really unlock these colors. It also helps me ascertain who has these traits. I have their clones flowering concurrently indoors where temps remain 75-80 during the day, and 68 at night. While I'm still expecting some color expression, I don't expect it to be as dramatic. But all of these girls are looking great. I'm extremely pleased with these F1's.

It's warming up a bit here. My garage tent can get up to 90F. So yeah I totally see your point. Plus with 90% water systems and HID it can get like a sauna. I may need to shut it down this summer unless I'm able to replace the HIDs and maintain the ambient temp better (seal off garage door).

That's what I battle in late spring and Summer. I need to swap out the heater with an AC unit and run it during the day to keep temps low 80's or less. The good thing this time of year is its much easier staying within the VPD range. The temps run cooler but they're still very happy. The challenge on this grow was the height issue. I added the new watering system and the F&D. I lost about 18-21" of head room. So when the plants went in for flip, the lights were already maxed. I might have had 4-6" of available space for stretch. Not nearly enough. So I had to keep LST'ing the tops through stretch. Needless to say it helped, but they're red lining the proximity to the lights. All of the lights are dimmed down quite a bit so I don't bleach them. The perimeter plants are fine, but the center plants are still getting blasted with the most intensity. They're close, like really close. I'd prefer another 12" ideally. But it's working so I can't complain. I'm really happy with the new set up and moving forward I'll be prepared for the height now that the systems are built and in place.

Busted out the dehuey last night. Dropped 15 pts ?
It's crazy how different our environments are.

Update: Day 51

God O War #11 - This is one of two girls in the F&D. She appears to be a Ghost Train Haze leaner with her flower structure, sporadic leaf tip curl, and absent color. As some of you know, this is my first F&D run (thanks @spyralout lol). The additional height of the totes and the last minute tent modifications have had me battling head room throughout flower on this run. My large fans generally blow indirectly well above the canopy, but these girls are so tall, they're impeding the jet stream and are getting hammered. When they were placed into the tent for 12/12, I built a SCROG and started weaving what branches I could. Needless to say they got away from me. They tower a good one and half feet + over the net. It's been delegated for just support as needed at this point. lol

Here's a couple of lower flowers. The first one pictured below is the lowest of the group resting on the net from a woven branch.

God O War #10 - She's another F&D girl who's taking the brunt of the hurricane.

Update: Day 51

God O War #3 - This girl was the darkest of the group. She sports a dark purple coat with a high sheen on her leaves. She appears to be leaning more toward 9lb. Hammer with her flower structure and coloring. However she also has the sporadic leaf tip curl presented by her GTH mom.

God O War #4 (pictured) and #8 are both very similar. Both appear to be leaning more toward 9lb. Hammer. #4 grows with long, vertical branching that creates multiple secondary tops. Her flowers are also heartier than her #8 sister. Both share the vast array of autumn colors.

God O War #8 - Similar to #4 but she has more of a "Christmas Tree" like structure.

Update: Day 51

Moontang Mystery #3 - These seeds were from a growmie. He was flowering a couple of males and didn't pull them quick enough. Due to the accidental open pollination, it's unclear if the father was Terpenado, or (Goji OG x Sunshine Daydream). He advised me that another friend was testing them too and had intersex issues with them. All of the females I grew presented intersex issues except this girl. I decided to run a couple of personal projects through her. She's going to need more ongoing testing before any real project can be considered. I'd also like to see the stability of the personal projects progeny since a MM male was used. I will say, even though this was the only female without intersexing issues, the seeds provided some good looking stout males. It wasn't easy selecting the one I chose. One of the test subjects pollinated was a Hyper Dragon.

Hyper Dragon - This girl looked so unusually unique, I wanted to play with her a bit just to see how funky her progeny could potentially be. She's another little personal side project. I dusted a few of her clones with Moontang Mystery, God O War, and Celestial Ghost.

Ground Pounder f1
(GelatOG x 9lb. Hammer)

When I get to working this project to F2, I plan to re-hunt for #5 of this test group. I'd like to increase the frequency of the nearly all purple chemotype.

GelatOG
by Seedsman
(Gelato x OG Kush)

The Mother of (Ground Pounder and Pandemic)

What I liked about her:
- She had very nice overall structure and vigorous growth
- Strong branching
- Tighter internode spacing
- She responded exceptionally well to various training methods
- Her sweeter citrus with slight fuel aroma
- Her coloring

I felt like her effect needed something more behind it. So I chose my 9lb. Hammer male in hopes to add a little more punch and Ground Pounder was born.
