Kuwl - Rollin' Along

[OLDSILVERTIP]

are you running te lights at night? hard for me to believe that led light only heats the tent to 72,wow nope sttill aint wasting my money on another light,i just dont grow during summer hahahah
here is a thought,just me talking ,but works for me,
solo cup to roots out the bottom,plant usally has 2 full sets of leaves
transplant or up pot what i call it because i put the solo cup inside the 1 gallon pot and place soil all inside and on bottom,pack ed but not hard packed.then i take the cup out and sprinkle rooting powder all in the hole,once that done,i pop bottom of the solo cup and drop in the preformed hole of the same cup,thats a transplant.
that said,solo cup to 1 gal pot,
2 weeks before i want to send them to flower,i up pot same method to 3 gal pots
after 2 weeks every thing established and rocking on,flip
if i had a bigger area i would go to a 5 gal bucket,
2x4x5 tent aint very much to work with ,so train train train,1 month veg or 14 in tall ,then flower
end result 3 ft tall plant with oh about 1 ft between canopy and light hahahah

if you are like me and run dirt u need the 5 gal.

Yep I always wondered why some guys wear a full hazmat suit
into the tent lol Now I know why.

Next grow I will if I can get my hands on one

Dam, I see many hairs, it's going to be a pain to get them with a good light and tweezers

 

[kuwl]

if you are like me and run dirt u need the 5 gal.

This tent I am using now in the cellar is a smallish 4x4 and so I tried the 2 gal this time but I think less plants and 3 gal are more suited for this tent.
5 gal are a perfect size for my grow usually and I like the cloth pots best out of all I tried, they worked very good.

 

[OLDSILVERTIP]

It can be set to any but I set it at 40% when off it creeps up I don't like it when I see it at 47

i goofed 1st tent grow plants were about 2 months open tent hum. was so high i had water running down the walls!air movement to the rescue.

How To Make the Perfect Paper Airplane

And a DIY plane launcher to go with it.

www.yahoo.com

^ I thought it was interesting might try it, nothing to do with this thread though lol

OK going down the final stretch guys.
I am watering with plain water in these last days before harvest.
It gets tricky here @ day 102 into the tent grow
3 more days and it will be 9 weeks since the flip 12/12

I got some shots of the sativa plant at least I think it is
also close up of the tri's on that plant the one in the back.
They look milky almost 100% to me.
I also de-leafed it a bit maybe 30%
Here is pics

The last 2 are close ups are of the first 2 pics.

you do check the trik's on the bottom also, don't you?

dry it after you buck it off stems, jar dry it when it's ready break up what ,you are going to smoke by HAND real quick thoes hair will show themselves grab it and pull between your fingers, to get the pices of bud cleaned off go, to next bud do same. grinder gives you fur balls

And then there is this WTH lol

stray bean from last plant in that pot!

I wish I could get away from tents but my situation requires stealth. As it is legal in NY to carry so much but the laws and details are bout a year away.
We cannot legally grow till it's ok'd by NY and that won't happen till the despensories get set up, they are just starting that now.
Plus we can only have 3 plants in flower and 3 plants in veg lol not enough for me
I love variety also, this grow I have Durban Poison, Blue Dream, Gold Leaf and Gorrilla Glue. 8 plants total in a 4x4 with a peak roof at 62"
I have 2 Auto Pots (Gravity fed bottom feeder) in there, that is a first for me but going great but they take up 25% of the tent space.

Ya, Faux legalization lets the gov save face by keeping out dated regulations in place to appease the nay-sayers. The regulators, bureaucrats & enforcers still need work, they just can't let it be like apples or carrots and none of their fking business.

I don't get how if I pay someone money I can be legal but if I don't I'm breaking the law? So its not about law its about money.

I balked at tents when I first got here, I don't need no stinking tent! Then I saw the scrog set ups and the pretty pics with flat canopies in a clean self contained environment ........there's something I'm missing came to my head....well It should be here today I'll find out if I like or just another brain fart...

I heard the cops take your plants but no jail time, just a appearance ticket, acctually we in NY have a no bail policy so if I steal a car I get a
ticket then I can go steal another and yet again get another ticket lol this one guy stole 8 cars before they revoked his no bail and kept him in jail.

So I might put 3 plants in the Green House this summer to see if they will grow with light from the street light shinning down on them at night.
The tree leaves cover some of the light and I can block some coming in at the top peak, above the door, no running out in the mornng or night to
cover and un-cover the dam thing. I'm to lazy for that.

How ya been oldtimer? Haven't seen you around here to much.
Yes that is what I did, hand clean it all. But that batch is long gone.
I only have a lil gorilla glue and an oz of Ghost Train Haze left, both are clean with no hairs nor seeds.
My last grow was full of seeds so had to hand break em down also. Oh the Pain lol

 

[kuwl]

It's an adventure everytime I go to the cellar tent lol.
2 weeks since the strip and the foliage is overwhelming.
Lux is between 35 to 61k sepending where the plant is.

I defoliated some fan leaves off Gold Leaf in the back left corner in the AP to let that light in the lower half.
That Gold Leaf is a brute, I keep having to bend those branches down.
It is so spread out, should bring in a good amt of bud.

Next week is another kinda major strip to get the light down there the fan leaves have to go.
The first one went well so I'm not scared of this second strip.

Everything is under control in the tent and I am relieved.
I keep the temjp at 80-81 so when the lights go dark the temp is 70 give or take a degree.
Feed is in the 750-800 PPM range using dyna gro products mostly.
I put a radio in the tent the other day just for kicks.
I might put 2 led's I have in there to help light up the sides.
If I had the power without blowing a breaker I would put the 2 TS1000's in there
that would be the best to help with the lower buds. Maybe at half power? Full power is 240w
The FC4800 draws 480w on a outlet by itself. I might try that after I think about it for a bit lol
I am seeing more flowers every day I look in there.

still kicking , last doc visit showed no cancer left in lower intestines, have lymph node in left lung has gone from 12cm to 18 cm. will know more first part of next month. still trying to get veg garden ready .i have tomato starts ready, should be ready to plant in next week to ten days.if mother nature lets everything level out temp-wise.

around here charges would start with ins. fruad ,stolden motor vehicle,and that is just for starters

 

[kuwl]

Don't laugh, I'm tryin to be serious
Plants are 12-14 inches below the light, kinda close but they show no signs of distress.
I had to rush through cause of the size of the vid.
I might lower the plants soon if they stretch any more.
Mon will be 3 wks in flower, then another strip but lightly.
Lux is bout 39k up to 61k Light is on 100%
Everything is hunky dory now but all my probs start in the last 2-3 wks.

Spring is here pretty much
Had 2 very nice days in the mid to high 60's the rest of the week looks good too.
That said, I seen a dif in hummy in the cellar tent over the last week.
Took out the steamer and still at 51% give or take.
I guess I will have to remove the 4" exhaust fan and install the 6" to have more
control of the hummy in the tent. The 4" is high as it goes and still at 51%.
I got a feeling the hummy will go up so will have to do that.

The Auto Pots plants are doing better than any of the other plants.
Maybe cause of extended veg time but they got more flowers too.
Feeding them is simple, when the tank gets down to 4-6" I add a couple of gallons.
Since the flip I feed at about 70/50 mix of Foliage Pro/Bloom and 2.5ml Zyme plus .4ml of NO Drip
Every other feed I add 1.75ml Mag Pro in the mix. I keep the PH at 5.5-5.7 for the AP's.

The same nutrient feed for the cloth pots but I add 1/8 tsp Re-Charge every other feed. PH for these is 6.5-6.7
I don't add the RC to the AP mix because of the float valve system, might clog it up and flood.

This Monday is strip day so all the fan leaves and anything blocking light from getting to the lower buds will go.
Then it's 5 or 6 weeks of stress lol that is usually when things go sideways.
I also will be adjust the nutrients to a little more Bloom so 60/30/10 FP/B/MP

With 4 plants in my new tent I pulled a bunch of leaves off but I just can't strip them like I see a lot do here. It just rubs me wrong. I'll keep removing those that I see covering bud sites but I'm too paranoid to strip them all off like some do.

Oh ya we had Spring here yesterday...freezing rain this morning....just another couple of months for us.....We get leaves on trees in FKING JUNE..........oops bad moment there...lol

I'm not sure how much good the total strip does for the plant but seen it done on DB's grow and they recovered fast and did ok afterwards and so did mine.
What I do believe is that de-foliating, so that the big fan leaves are not blocking precious light from the bud sites is a plus for the plant.
That is what I will do next and I think it will make for more and bigger, better buds in the end.
Now, if I can stay the course and not mess up the last part of this grow, I will be confident in the next one. As long as there are no darn seeds please.
