What up gang??
I've not been good about keeping up my journal of late, sorry.
There is a lot going on in WillieP's World.
The two plants in flower are taking way longer to fully mature that I thought they were going to. I was thinking the 2nd or 3rd week of Feb, and we are well past that. The MNTxAB is starting to show some amber, but the BB is still just cloudy. I just checked with a scope yesterday. (you can also see the seed development on MNLxAB)

The BB still has a ways to go I believe...

In next crop news...
I am experimenting with some different growing techniques, I am growing the new plants in three different mediums. Soil. Hempy. and at the moment aeroponics. (those plants will be changed over to E&F)
These two M99 plants will be grown in soil for the Botany 357 class that I am taking.

This shot shows the other 4 plants I have going. 2 in the aeroponic bucket, and 2 in 3 1/2 gallon hempy buckets.

And a root porn shot just for fun.

I am trying different things in an attempt to become a better grower.
(this bit is more for me that anyone else)
I believe that I would not use hempy starter solo cups again, they seemed to take off very slowly.
I have learned to soak the perlite in a bucket of PH'd water before use to stabilize it.
I would start with rapid rooters in the aeroponic bucket till the roots have developed to the point I would like, then transplant over to the other medium(s).
The hempy bucket method is still unproven, time will tell.
Hope your grows are going well,
WillieP
PS
I just ordered the aluminum angle to build a couple DIY strip lights. There will be two of them, 2x4 at 254 watts each.
