So we pour it in a Pernod bottle and start for New Orleans past iridescent lakes
and orange gas flares, and swamps and garbage heaps, alligators
crawling around in broken bottles and tin cans, neon arabesques
of motels, marooned pimps scream obscenities at passing cars
from islands of rubbish …
New Orleans is a dead museum.

And so we meet again!!
Finally got off my ass and got this grow into gear.
This grow features no ILGM genetics, I’m playing around with some different breeders.
I will be using Mother Earth Coco Peat again. I really like this mix! Let’s see what it does on a photo from seed run. And of course, Jacks and a weekly or bi-weekly microbial onslaught of goodness!
On to the big let down! 
First, and no mystery since she was already revealed, is Ethos Genetics Ethos Cookies R3.
Next up is Pyramid Seeds Black Cherry Punch. I’m pretty excited for this strain - she’s gonna bring some color into the mix come flower I hope. If she looks anything like the sales photo i should be happy!
Last, but certainly not least, is Royal Queen Seeds Green Gelato.
If I remember correctly this was the first non-ILGM seed I took the risk with. The last year has been a flurry of activity but I think this was it.
I forgot to get a root pic of the Gelato between watching the SB on the tablet and hitting the bong!
I was multi-tasking in the garage! LOL! She’s the oldest of the three and trust me - it was a HEALTHY rootball!
Funny story - I was starting a two plant grow. These minus the Ethos. Both seeds popped withing 24hrs using my method and into the Solos they went. After a day and a half or so the Gelato emerged and shed her helmet. $ days passed and I never saw peep from the black cherry and i went probing.
I eventually found what i thought was half the hull of the seed, but nothing else so I started another.
Then a few days later I got the ethos passport and when I got that seed I decided on a three plant grow. LOL!
So each was started about a week apart. We’ll even it out in veg.
Moved them to 1g starter bags tonight and watered them in with a full strength dose of Jacks with Recharge. They’ve all had diluted Jacks in the Solos from the start and are growing well.
Very happy with the vigor I’m seeing in all three ladies!
I’m figuring 2 weeks +/- in the starter bags before moving to their final homes in 3g Rain Science bags.
I’m as of yet undecided what style I’m gonna roll with this grow or if I’ll even use a trellis net, those plans will develop with the ladies. I’d like to be in the 3g no longer than 4w before I flip.
Also officially moved them into the 2x4 and under the HLG.
I broke out my abundance of hangers and switched over the UVA light to a decent hanger. That hanger was crap IMHO.
I also got a new humidifier. The cheapo Vicks wasn’t keeping it where I wanted it. So far this seems to be doing the trick, the log will tell the tale in a few days.
I got all the lights roughly into position. I could not find my damn small level. LOL!
It’s one of those things you drop in a drawer or put on a shelf and walk past 1000 times when you’re looking for it!
They’re about 22" off the top of the Gelato atm and I dialed the DLI down to range.
i also have to reconfigure the way the Far red and UVA lights hang, Dropping them changed the geometry a bit. It’s good enough for a night or two.
Oh, and I put fresh batteries in the Power Crystal! 
And now for the start of the tags - I won’t get you all tonight. But everyone is welcome to come along on the ride!!

And the damn site limiting me to ten! WTH? 
I’ve got a Chrysler and it’s as big as a whale and it’s about to set sail!!
