Well it fits!....this is my new cloner box (finally using the cash crop piece of shit 5.0 for something noble).
20 watts of blurple and 1 computer fan.

Now i need to get 9 cuttings and run a flood and drain in the new tent :D....I am going to get something in veg this time and save a couple weeks.

And 8 fabric 2 litre pots. I am going to use coco in a flood and drain (the one with the giant crack in it). I think it will work!

I found the source of my seed problems. I will fix it tomorrow. The power bar red light is bright enough to cause problems. I went in there in total darkness. Tomorrow i gorilla tape them dark but operational.
Magic 8 ball says there is a lot of hash and rosin in my future....glad i got those bubble dude bags!

@Old ST1R 'Sit in your room when it’s dark for 10-15 minutes. You’ll be surprised how much light is in a “dark” room.'

Aint that the truth. Its just that pair of lights in the power bars. I will see if i can pull the bulb out when lights are on again. No point irritating things :D

Those damn red lights! They've got me before too. I put gorilla tape over them but so I can still operate switch.

Sucks that shit is seeded but hash and rosin and salvageable buds should hold you over in the mean time. Cheers G

If you open up the power bar, it'll have two small wires going from the switch to the light. Simply snip one or both.

All light leaks are now 100% fixed....now were cooking with gas!

Everything is setup now. i am waiting on my 3k 240w board to be built and i will finish the lighting mixaround.

The new tent is nice. I ended up putting the other Purple Primate in it and switching the board for a 200 watt timber 2VL fixture in 3500k. I will try and flower them in the tent if the height cooperates. Or i can move them in the bloom room after some stuff chops.

The old tent was changed to run a flood and drain. I can move them around now and have a veg one and 2 flower ones. I will keep the 105 watt mars light in there it is enough for the space. These are 8 fabric pots of 2 litres (half gallon). Im ready for the next grow contest! !

Skunky VA looking pretty on day 20

Adub needed some super cropping. Now that bent branch is growing colas all over as they all turn up to the light.
Adub day 39.JPG
2 ace seeds Bhangi Haze regs. The coco sack and the rockwool cube actually worked for me this time !
20191018_065802.jpg

Now i have room to grow bigger plants and to play around with anything (light times, K rating of lights and how it pertains to stretch etc.).
I used the 4k light through the stretch and they keep shorter. tighter internodes. But maybe its my imagination!
We shall see.

I put too many seeds in the drink again but i had to
C99
All Valley Grape
Grape Dum Dum
And the pair of Bhangi Haze.
I want to fill all the gear up and see what happens!
The temp this morning was 73F. Its getting cooler. I turned my lights up to 950/1100 watts and we are at 78F

Mixed 4k and 3k spectrum. (3k 4k 3k 4k) 720 watts of 3k and 350 watts of 4k at max until i get that 240 watt board and then i will sort it out better. I can squeeze more height out of the cobs i think.
:D

I must have bumped the light timer yesterday and accidently switched it to on from timer. I caught it but that one plant really grew. I think i have my purple primate and citrus milfs mixed up because 2 are giant and 2 are not. :D
The plant in the hempy bucket (i think they are both purple primate but....) is going bonkers in the tent. I might have to move it out to fill out the other one.

Orangeberry Smoothie. It needs something the leaves are discoloring i would guess it needs K and i have to use bud explosion on it. She is a monster. I thought it was a Welchie but it is not.
And a bud smell gives it a way. OBSM for sure.
DSCF3211.JPG
I took 1 sample bud from each of the 3 that are almost ready. That way i can taste it before i chop it.
Left to Right..Welchie, Purple Cake, Space Gorilla (day 59/54/61 respectively). 60/40 milky trichs on them and im waiting for more amber than usual to see how that works.

What is causing this leaf discoloration....is it the K? This is OBSM at day 37.

This plant is being fed 750 TDS MC and Bud Explosion (14G and 1G respectively). Hand watered 6.5 gallon pot 70/30 mix of coco and hydroton.

That looks like water got on the leaves and the light fried those spots. I've had that happen before anyway. Is it just that one spot or all over the plant? Looks like light bleaching but I could be off.

I will check it out. It is by a flood and drain and sometimes i water with a 5 gallon water bottle so its not delicate and splashy. But i clean the floors with the water so they are always clean :D

Today I hooked all the tents up to intakes into the bloom room. With sock filters and they are light tight so any one of them can be on any schedule. 1 will be flowering for the next 8 to 10 weeks.

I found my 6 inch fan and will hook that up with my veriac instead of the 4 inch that is pulling the air in from the tents. It needs a bit more umpfh...and it was a spare.

I won a pair of fancy LED light glasses to protect your eyes from everything and make it all a normal color. While i was picking them up i got another pair of the short 5 gallon pots. I filled them with 1 inch of big hydroton and then coco. I will use 1 for the wedding dub and the other for either the grape dumdum or all valley grape. One of those 2 i am going to veg a good size and get 9 cuttings to fill the cloner. I will run the best 6 or 8 in a flood and drain. I will see which one is prettier.

Then i will know what a flood and drain usually yields from clones and i can pace 1 or both of them with 6 to 8 clones at a time.

When i find the right 2 plants i will keep a mother until its too big and will flip it.

And then I can run my 8 big pots or bubble buckets and it will keep it all full (5 and 6.5 gallon).

I had my friend pop by with an oz of that panama X malawi that wouldnt fit in my room. Also some GG4. I have it in my dryer (i have to let him know it needs to dry more). I will smoke it after it dries.

First taste....made me realize how much I have learned about how to grow. I had a bud break off the purple cake 4 days ago and it was in my dryer. That doob had a white ash burned well and needs a day or 2 more in the dryer but wow did that doob work. Stellar purple cake and it has no seeds !!! (WOO HOO).

I believe my friend fed it too soon to the chop and it has that residual shitty fertilizer (miracle grow maybe).

After a dry it might be ok.

And wow i love indoor. The leaf to bud is wicked outside :D

What is causing this leaf discoloration...
Dude, I am no pro,,,
I have seen that on my (poopy) clones from time to time.
Wet feet ? Do you lift the pot, eveytime, before you water?
Could be hot feed. We are used to seeing overages of N in veg- that looks a 'lil different.

If it is not digging the feed, it may be stewing in its own juices. Are you equiped to measure the Ph of the run off ?

Like I said, I don't necessarily know shite about shat, but for myself when the road gets bumpy I try to head towards the middle.
Start with fresh eyes, back @ homebase.

K, not the same as mine.
Mine is good 'ole necrosis, from the outside edge working inward.

,,, and the one with the blue arrow does not count.

I was able to use Grandma tech to fix that one. Licked my thumb, buffed it out.

Recognize?
Those 'lil guys are a few days into flower.
I have never flipped a plant with less than 6 weeks veg. This one was just hanging out in the veg room, and I have seen you guys busting bouquets out of smaller plants. The lights are on, and I sure like weed ,,,so I thought I would give it a go - just more cock for Dolly !
That skeleton cookies clones like a damn. I hardly kill'd it.
Here are the little skeleton babies, first night in the dark grave. 20191018_222542(1).jpg
They are toppped and ready to rock. Still branching symmetrically, I left three pairs and trimmed those up to the last three nodes. I am aiming for six, double colas once I have topped the lower branches. I have never watched a plant grow up, in flower before. I am very curious. I just cannot imagine them getting all of that tall.
I flipped smaller ones as well, from my aggressive Sativa. All in coffe bags, AKA 2L sacks. I wish I had a little more lead time . I want to see these shape up in order to strategize for the half gallon challenge. I do not have experience so I am doomed to rely on luck and shit talk.

Purple cake was taken off the autopot system (and the OBSM was put in its cell). I am now hand watering it with AN flawless finish until its done. Tomorrow it is week 8 and the hairs are all curling in and turning brown. 1 more week should do it (and the last one was 63 days and chop and perfect smoke).
The 4 clones I had in coco were transferred to my cloner. Citrus Milf X 4 cut in veg. It is my learning experience so i can be ready when i want to run them 9 at a time.
My friends weed lacks fire...it was harvested too soon, not cured right and enough and fed too hard up to chop. The first 2 hits of the doob are ok and then the nasty builds and builds. I will vape some later but it is mediocre at best.
The too soon barely dry purple cake shone this morning for an awesome doob. I have dynoberry bites rolled (X2) with space gorilla hash for kick off and game watching.
They are 2 of my favorites...dynoberry is leaning hard to a staple forever with walter white..Black Grape dumdum...we shall see (and i am taking cuts this time).

GH trio...i have to say i kind of like it. I am using up new quart bottles i had but if it goes good i will buy a gallon of bloom and micro and run it in bloom (and veg with MC)

The garden is going well. I am still dicking around with things but its getting there. I am glad my bud gave me some buds...it shows me i am heading in the right direction. And my buds are turning out great.

Great genetics and lighting is probably 60% of it and the rest is up to our skill and ability to fix shit fast!

That's an awesome feeling when people bust out their weed and you're like, "oh... that looks um... good?!" Then you pretend to take a puff and choke so you don't hurt their feelings. The awkward part is when the ask all proudly, "what do you think?" Then you gotta lie to them and be like "it's good man. I can really taste those fertilizers, lol"

Cheers G and it just gets better as time goes by, soon you'll be the guy everyone knows has that dank.

With legal supply in Canada, it is only a matter of time before people will be convinced that MJ is an odourless plant that produces nugs that share the size, flavour, and humidity level equal to miniwheat breakfast cereal.

My wife opens a 3.5 container from the store and I shed a little tear, beacause I know that 40 buck spent on flowers could have been spent on seed, and I could turn that into a pound or two.

It is happening already. You ever pull out a 10 gram cola, and jaws drop because folks dont even know what they are looking at ?

I got a call from the hydro store. I won 2 raffle prizes a good pair of LED UV glasses that wrap around and a hortilux 1000 watt bulb and ballast. I have no idea what i will do with it but winning is winning. :)

Busy as a one legged man in a shin kicking contest today!. But welchie is trimmed the garden is working and everything is watered. The 6 inch intake into the bloom room is pulling in more warm dry air into bloom. And that worked out for RH. I went from 70% to 58%. That will bloom a lot better (78F @55 to 60% RH)

Here is the GMO cake clone reveg. Wow its ugly. And it takes a long time for it to do anything but it didnt cost anything :D I will grab clones in veg from now on.

Just one in the tent now. The other one was overtaking the light.
DSCF3236.JPG
This purple primate was too tall for that tent. I had about 18 inches to the top of the lights and its just really getting stretching. I think the other one may be citrus milf. I will let them flower a bit and give them a smell. One of them has a rotten milk stem rub and I think that is citrus milf (the one above)

It is a lightspeed digital ballast and a hortilux super HPS. almost 400 plus tax ! SCORE. Beats the 30 dollar shades which made me happy.
If only i had more than 5 foot 6 i would fire it up. 1000 watts would cause me massive heat problems. LOL.

Can you turn it on 600 and use the 1000 watt bulb?
I will give it a go in the depth of winter. It might solve some problems when i need heat.

Yes, you can change it to any of those settings on the 1k bulb.
