Pink Floyd- Jan. 2024

[Dried Flowers]

Greetings all!
I received Pink Floyd seeds from last months auctions, just in time for New Year's germination, 5 popped up on new year's day, the remaining 3 germinated on Jan.2
I soaked the seeds in water for 24 hours, then planted directly into Pro-Mix HP. I'm using 4 inch square pots for now, undecided on what size to transplant into. There's 8 seedlings and males will be discarded. I'm growing in a large space, 8ft. ceiling, in the corner of a room, floor space approximately 6ft. X 6ft. I can adjust the grow space, hanging black and white poly a foot below the ceiling, around the grow area for light reflection. Lighting for now is a 400 metal halide and a 315 ceramic metal halide, flowering will be 400 hps, 600 hps and a 315 ceramic metal halide in an approximate 6ft. X 16ft. floor space, the CMH hung in the middle, hps on each side. Old school lighting, electricity included in my rent and is non-metered in a large apartment building. I used to run 6K hps in the same room. Once upon a time...

Transplanted into 2 gallon pots on January 16. A fresh bale of Pro-Mix HP with Mycorrhizae in the bath tub for transplanting, a photo of Pink Floyd 6's roots.

Placed the Pink Floyds on a 2ft. X 4ft. tray in their 2 gallon pots, Pink Kush and Rockstar in the background.

Day 19 I'm going to begin bloom soon, just waiting for a cutting of each plant.
Began using nutrients day 16 when transplanted. I'm using Mills Basis A&B 2 part with their product called Start, an early growth promoter and early flower enhancer. Also Mills version of Silica called Vitalize.

I added 2 Angel's Breath, same age as Pink Floyd. I was going to do a grow thread for the Angel's Breath but decided to include them here for ease and to compare, cheers!

[Uncle Jack]

Nice setup.

I'm curious.

Is that bench at waist height?

 

[Dried Flowers]

Thanks longball and Uncle Jack, and yes it is at waist height, 3 milk crates tall, 33 inches. They're on a 2ft. X 4ft. ebb'n'flow table (no holes).
Lighting is reduced to a digital 400MH bare bulb in a batwing reflector, need a bit of stretch, also topped the Pink Floyd and Angel's Breath at the 3rd node today.

 

[Uncle Jack]

Starting them off well is half the battle and it looks like you have that mastered.

 

[Dried Flowers]

Thank you Uncle Jack, nice compliment. This a nice place!
My building had Energy Audit inspections this week and guy from Toronto Hydro gave us energy efficient powerbars, clothes drying rack, checked age and condition of fridge & stove, routine stuff. I hid my plants in a closet and took down everything, but as he left he says "This is a nice place, even smells nice." and smiled, I think it was the joint I smoked about an hour before. Good timing for an inspection, bloom begins soon, then it's not as easy as hiding them in the closet, size and smell.
Day 25, Pink Floyd plants were moved around, and not in the same positions as before. Removed some fan leaves, waiting patiently to begin bloom on the first day of February.

Day 28, I like the looks of pf2, short little bush. pf6 is the tallest, lankiest.

 

[Dried Flowers]

And not to forget the two Angel's Breath, hoping for a lady, maybe 2. Time will tell.

 

[Diesel840]

@Dried Flowers looks good. Those are some happy plants.

 

[musashi]

[Dried Flowers]

Thanks everyone for your kind words and warm welcome. I couldn't wait to plant these auction seeds. Sent payment today for another auction order
Took 2 cuttings of each, all lowest branches. I use small multi-colored hair elastics to identify each cutting, 'making a list, checking it twice'.
Bloom Day 1, February 1st

And hey, musashi, 'bust a move', I like that, I can't dance, but riddim wise
I'll update with photos in a few hours, moving the crates around and swapping the metal halide with 2 600W HPS
