Small Grow Of 3 Platinum OG

[Potpimp]

I've got 3 Platinum OG from Pacific Seed Bank going right now. Direct sowed one seed on 3/4 because I friggin' dropped two of the seeds on the leaf covered ground. Popped up on 3/8. Got true leaves on 3/11. Direct Sowed 3 more seeds on 3/13. Removed the container that didn't germ on 3/28 and made the auto-watering system. Mixed up Master Blend hydro solution. Using a single Spider Farmer SF-7000 light. Yeah it's crazy overkill and I have 4 smaller, nice (not the blurple junk) LED's, and a nice T-5, and a 1,000w HPS that I haven't used in... holy carp, 10 years! Fortunately the SF-7000 is dimable. The soil mix is approx 1/3 worm castings, 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 garden soil/compost. I notice that the one in front seems to have cirrhosis of the liver, so I top-dressed it with worm castings and have been watering it in for it to get the "tea". You'll notice the burnt spots on the bigger plant; those were caused by watering them and not getting all the droplets off the leaves. The first pic was taken today.

Welcome to PotPimp. You’re in the right place!
The platinum OG a favourite is it?

I'll know in about 3 more months if it's a fav, but from the reviews it sounds almost too good to be true. Last year I grew over 50 photoperiod Colombian Gold landrace plants - from 6 moms!

I agree!

Yep. Looks suitably mad. And fun!
Hey so what are some of your stand out varieties to grow and/or smoke?
And how many watts is that sf7000?

Super Lemon Haze, Maui Wowi, White Widow, Northern Lights, Colombian Gold have all been exceptional. My son and I were just talking about maybe growing some more SLH this year, but dang there are some genetics that sound amazing that I'd like to try first. The SF-7000 is 650w. I won this beast in a contest on RIU!!

Happy birthday (one month) Mary Jane! It's stankin' in the grow room.

She's looking great and she just started kicking into flower! The other two, younger ones, are looking good too. The below grade watering was a great idea. The SF-7000 is HOT! By that I mean that this sucker puts off a lot of heat. I'm having to run the air conditioning or it would be over 100.

Sorry for not posting more pix but here's the latest update with pix from yesterday. She looks like hell but I guess that's to be expected since she only has about a week to live. The buds are really swelling up. I sure hope this is as good as the hype. Doesn't appear to be a lot of bud, but I want quality over quantity. The two smaller plants are about a month behind.

Looks like all the sugar leaves have died on my plant, and there are no fan leaves so I'll chop it tomorrow morning. This is plant #3. Very disappointed in these genetics from Pacific Seed Bank; it's probably the worst weed I've ever smoked in my life. What a frickin' waste.
