Everything has been pretty straight forward up to this point with no complications... I am going to give mainline training another shot as to the fact I'm not a completely new grower and I think I could get a nice yield with my space...
Here are just a couple pics to get things rolling... here they are around 10-11 days above ground

Here are a couple from Day 32 since germination

All have been topped once about a week ago... Just topped 2 of the 6 for the 2nd time and the others should be ready within a day or 2.
Also want to point out that these Strawberry Banana seeds are the ones I won from Dutch Seeds

Thanks Modest, glad to have ya... I am working on a drain to waste water system right now as well with the hydro halos that I will be setting up in the next couple days to allow for easy multiple feeds per day when we get into flower...

CS21 · Feb 22, 2020

Went out to the tent this morning and did the 2nd topping on 3 more of the ladies and also finished setting up my drain to waste water system so I will trial it tonight or tomorrow!! Should make this alot easier when watering multiple times daily.

Pretty stoked to say I got my drain to waste watering system up and running :woohoo:

Hydro halos work great and it is gonna save me a tonne of time and back pain :rofl:

It takes them 1 minute to do what would take me 20 minutes at least.

Just looking back through my old journal and noticing how much farther along these girls are when compared to them... hopefully this is a sign of good things to come lol.

This grow Day 34 from seed

CS21 · Feb 25, 2020

Day 35 from seed
Went out and caught a couple of pics in some natural lighting.
Thungs are rolling along pretty smoothly, also the automatic watering system is so handy... cant believe I waited so long to put one in.
Should be ready for their final topping in a couple days, and the manifold will be complete. 8 colas per plant. Nugbuckets Style

CS21 · Mar 3, 2020

Day 44 from seed... Day 40 of Veg.
Final toppings are done for all plants... They are all setup for 8 main colas...
2 were done on the 29 of February and the other 4 were done last night. Not much to do now other than sit back and let these babies grow out some before flipping. Thanks for looking.

I cut most of the fan leaves off one of them to see which progress faster... the ones with the leaves or the one without.

CS21 · Mar 9, 2020

Day 46 Veg...
Things are going well and all these ladies are just doing their thing until they are tall enough to flip. Should be within a week or 2 for sure.

CS21 · Mar 14, 2020

Day 52 Veg...
Gonna flip to 12/12 tomorrow...
They are growing so contently

Day 2 of 12/12
These girls are really coming along nicely. I am extremely happy with how complication free this grow is going. Seem to have everything where it needs to be. Enjoy the pics.

Thanks brotha. Things are going super smooth

So here we are on Day 15, starting the third week since flipping to 12/12.
Things are really on cruise control here... when compared to my first grow this one has been a cake walk.
The Strawberry Banana seeds are very much on the sativa side showing 11 fingers on the thinner leaves, and the Blueberry OG from Barneys on the other hand are more Indica dominant with the fat 7 finger leaves and very thick stalks. Really looking forward to seeing how they turn out.
Here are a few pics of the ladies
