Great updates and videos too, looks like a helluva lot of work from where I'm sitting.

 

Top job dude hope you do well from all your efforts

 

Thanks, in the beginning I spent a handful of evenings working out how to create a timeless using free software, now I have it down to 10 minutes from camera to created and uploaded.  I spend most of the time deleting the 12h of darkness

 

I have just changed the camera settings to a higher quality and also black n white as the red bulbs give off a bit too much red for my liking so let's see what next week brings !

Oh man these are looking good now, you're gonna be playing baseball with these and those timelapse I love em dude, the tune and the plants with their leaves just all waving up and down, it's cool bud and I find strange how all the plants do it in synchronicity with each other given the variations in genetics

 

Yea the buds are really starting to take big round shape. It is wicked the way they all move together, it's all in how well watered they are - plus the light

Looking sweet mate, your going to have some massive colas to play with  Your just going to make the finishing time, you worked that out well bro  Hope you get a prize for your videos mate, they have been most enjoyable  all the best

 

Yea the timing is pretty immaculate, well it will be if they are finished on time haha.  I have seen a couple of other movies in the competition thread which are really good so I don't hold my hopes high for a prize win - But I will make a final movie, from seed to chop, on the 19th or 20th May from scratch using all my original photos - So I can end it with a new fresh movie

 

It looks like Sweet Cheese 1 is a keeper so I feel I have already won by finding (hopefully subject to flavour) a vigorous fast flowering mother of my favourite breed/flavour.

Your doing a fine job in here mate I was certain your name would be up for nom keep it up bro  

[Fragg]

Good to see your hard work recognised this month mate, a well deserved nomination!

 

Best of luck I agree with @m99

[SelfHealer]

Love your videos (and ladies ofc), I do the same but they are pretty bad in comparison, mostly due to white balance issues. I find it an awesome way to monitor plant health, you learn how they behave each day, their ups and downs, what they do after watering and can help isolate the temp limits they are comfy with. You notice when something is off.

 

Keep up the good work.

[rabthegrower]

@Fragg said exactly what I was going to say mate, well deserved for all your efforts  good luck

Hiya, sure thing, let me share, this is what I do : 

 

I spray the cuttings with Root It! 

 

Transplant into a Root Riot

 

I cut around the plastic to separate them into batches of 2 as I took 2 cuttings from each mother and didn't want to mix them up.  Funnily enough this 2 x 1 fit well into what will be their first pot.

 

The first pot, with the cuttings in Root Riot's is then covered with a pukka plastic freezer bag

 

The seal on the bags allows me to loosely fasten it around the pot so I have my el-cheapo propagator which allows for some open space to ensure not too much humidity.  My project room humidity is bouncing between 40-65.

 

I use a 5 mil pipette to water the cuttings every 2 or 3 days, have to make sure the Root Riot stays moist, I also take the opportunity to spray them with Root It! A damn good damping of it, and make sure the Root Riot gets to soak up some of that lovely gel like liquid too.

 

The cuttings have been kept under 125w CFL, overshadowed by the Sweet Trainwreck Auto (which got the chop 3 days ago haha, should mention this is all taking place in the 40 x 40 x 140 tent) so they were a good 24 inches away from the CFL for these first 14 days.

 

Last night I potted them up and things go well, I let them sleep for 4 hours and now the plan is for them to stay 24/7, only ever getting a sleep for 4h when I water them.  Having just taken a peek at them (no photos until I can get the camera out of the flower tent but they sleep until 8pm) I can see all 6 cuttings have shown movement towards the 125w CFL which is now only 6 inches away.

 

Temperatures throughout have been good, 19-28 due 125w CFL heat, and 800w heat from flower tent not fully exhausted out of the project room as can only have the big window open so much.

 

That sums it up in as much as a nutshell as I can make it.  I shall be posting a photo of the 6 happy clones during my update, most likely this evening.  If I missed something - Let me know

Yep, totally there with you.  The timelapse really does show those growth spurts, there is definitely a way there to identify the goldilocks zone for environment.  The white balance issue is a right pain, I purchased a stack of colour filters for my camera but have not tried them out (had 2 weeks now), will pull them out tonight and see what things look like with a filter on it, may post a few pictures up if they look ok.  Cost £20 off amazon for 5 or 6 different colours.

A friend told me that we can adjust the colour balance and all sorts using photoshop so I had a little go with the software that came with this Nikon D3300 and you really can manipulate the image to get a better result.

Thanks a lot, am looking forwards to seeing the very final complete seed2chop timelapse.  Due to being nominated in this months competition I am going to put in a little extra effort and next week will be a Week 1 - Week 14, leaving just two weeks until chop day, this is timetabled due to boosting to the sun for a holiday

Good luck this month @Inspiration101 a thoroughly deserved nomination too bud

[Inspiration101]

Weekly update, going to break this into two posts, this one with a stack of photos, the next with the timelapse.

 

The week has gone really well, all of the ladies are continuing to fatten up, they are certainly on schedule for the chop in three weeks time.  I have had to place additional bamboo poles in the pots to help keep the branches up - Those buds are getting heavy !

 

Sweet Cheese 1 & Jack47 3 have shown to be the bigger performers in terms of larger buds grown faster than the rest, am overjoyed I have two clones from the cheese but gutted I did not identify Jack47 3 as a winning specimen.

 

Watering has just continued as 5mil Fishmix, 5mil Biobizz Bloom, 2mil Canna Trace.  Keeping it simple certainly seems to be doing the trick as you can see below : 

 

Sweet Cheese 1

 

 

A closer look at her top : 

 

 

Here is Sweet Cheese 2, doing fantastic also, really cooking now as we near the final 3 weeks :

 

 

And some bud shots of Sweet Cheese 2 : 

 

 

Moving on to Sweek Skunk 1, these I think may end up being the latest of all plants to finish : 

 

 

Sweet Skunk 1 top : 

 

 

Here is Sweet Skunk 2, she is not shabby either, really piling on those flowers and frosting : 

 

 

Here is Jack47 1 She is heavily loaded with more branches of buds than any of the others, hurray for having two good clones of her : 

 

Here is Jack47 2 she is very white : 

 

 

And a closer look : 

 

 

And the final plant in the tent, Jack47 3 - She really is doing so well it is unfortunate I have no cuttings from her, never mind, she looks great : 

 

 

And two more shots of other buds, they are pretty monstrous :

 

 

And there we have it, all the ladies in the tent showing magnificent progress this past week.

 

Here is their group shot : 

 

 

Finally, here is a shot of the successfully rooted clones in their first pots : 

 

 

Been at this for 2h straight, taking a break before doing the time lapse movie for the week.  If I dont make it back tonight then it's a job for tomorrow morning
