Never noticed how short the Blackwater was (back left) until this rearrangement. Might have to prop her up.
And I beat the shit out of the DCP. Snipped the 4 bottom limbs.
And here is what I meant about the HAOG Skunk. Very leafy on the tops. I'm thinning her out tonight.

Looks like our BBC s are the exact same age . Can't wait to see how they turn outHippie Cripplers hit dirt on St Patty's Day! Sham-rocking it! Sham-WOW!
I also put a layer of soil over the cubes to see if that helps keep them from drying out. Had to bump it up to a 1020 tray.View attachment 53271

They seem slow to me, and I'm pretty sure I stunted them letting them dry out with the cube/soil fiasco. The HC are 10-ish days behind. If they start catching up or passing, I'll nix those 4 and drop 4 more. Not too worried about it. I either fixed the problem or didn't, they'll get over it or they wont. But I don't want to spend the next 3-4 months babying plants that I screwed up on day 5.Looks like our BBC s are the exact same age . Can't wait to see how they turn out

Once these seedlings have graduated I have no room for new drops for a bit, so I'll be testing out the horticubes thing more. I have a collection of bag-seeds I have grown. The nice looking ones are the loners I found in assorted plants, the rest are from a solo-cup plant that I never knew hermed - and it might be the reason for the loner seeds on the other plants. But for my purposes anything that makes a plant is fine. None will be flowered

Only 2 plants needed water, so I played with levelling. Only the ones up front are propped up - So I don't forget and tip shit over trying to roll it.
The Blue Eyes and Blueberry Biscuit look sharp.
Didn't take any leaves on the Skunk. Nothing is really shaded, it's just bushy.

They will be fine I'm sure
When starting seeds in the oasis cubes, you should soak them from day one in a nutrient solution at 5 -10 % recommended dose, The cube is completely inert and has no nutrient value whatsoever. Treat it like rockwool.
Using it for clones, Use RO water only and after roots develop sink them 1/3 deep in a solo cup of Base mix (Roots Organics, Foxfarm, Exc.)

You may have mentioned that before. Because I did about 200ppm of Big Bloom along with my standard calmag and silica. I had the trays full, and let it warm up overnight in the tent. Everything was fine until I moved it to the soil before the roots were out of the cube. Soil leeched the water from the cube plain and simple.
I think that they are too wide for seeds and/or you have to wait longer to move them to soil. Clone roots go sideways for the most part, so the width is needed. Seed taproots go straight down and the side branching is slower.
It's the perfect consistency for starting seeds, and I think the 104-cube sheets would probably be their seed version if it were advertised as such. I trimmed a handful of cubes into 1" cylinders and I think it might be perfect. I just didn't want to try it out on the Hippie Cripplers for the first time. Should have waited on the BHP and G13... Live and learn. I may look for or rig a smaller tray for them now that I have the 1020 tray out and try it in there.

I now have brown pistils on everything but the latest flips (DCP and G13HP) so by mid early April the tent should start emptying. The closet a few weeks after.
This put the Blue's, the BM, and the CS in the ~7week flower range - sweet!
I was reading about the Hippie Crippler, and it used to be a clone-only strain, and seeds were questionable. Based on the popping I see, that is bunk.
But based on that I am trying another process to expel some of my newb-ness. This is my first run for Bob, so I want to get the best plant(s) to flower. I'll be getting them to the size where I can take clones, then flowering the (hopefully) six plants to find a winner and cull males. Then flower 4-ish clones from the selected plant(s)
Not trying to start a mother plant - too many seeds to run, but as it goes along I'll post the specifics and hope to get checked on any bad ideas

I find running perpetual is the best. I might lose a strain along the way but i am on 3rd gen Dubstep...all of them beautiful and strong.
I did a few seeds...picked my favorite, took cuts and just keep those going.
That way i dont need a mom tent. They do take a while to get going but once it gets roilling a long timing is relative.
Your tents are looking GREAT !
I had to flick off 2 helmets from walter white. My new method which is working great, gently hold the staff and flick it like when you launch a peanut off your finger (PING}). If you catch it just right that cap goes PING! and flys off....2 for 2 your mileage may vary.
They were in pure coco from seed and those are so delicate you cant dick around with them much or they die.
