Guess today is watering…… ahh nahhhh haha let’s gooo

Shoutout again to @Trustfall for some sick crosses, @PhlizonGrowLight for the sick FD6500 and @SchwiftyGrower for the inspiration to take this girl to the limit and @logic forthe tip on the best trimming scissors on the market! Frostette at 65 days from flip, CHOP DAY!

I like how you just flipped the whole damn thing without taking it out of the net!

Opened the mixing bin after a week, I know I promised someone this video but… can’t remember who was talking. About this with me so I’ll share it here for all to see,

My general concept is I never leave less than a gallon of soil in the bin after a mix (amendments and all) I up pot, use what I need then add another gallon of soil / medium of choice (peat moss for me) back to the bin, mix and close up till needed, did that about 5 days ago for the clones and here’s what the bin looked like when I opened it last night to mix soil for the final up pot of the 2x Frostette clones to 5 gallon buckets to get put in the net (I mix a day or 2 ahead usually) once I see that fuzz I know I’m good I add needed medium and mix it all together and repeat at the end with the bib

Couple up and comers on the side rack

That was my plan all along a scrog net and drying rack all in one! Was a pain for a bit to remove a lot of the fans but I probably left about 20% of them on. She’s hangin down good now dry tent is a little warm 75f / 60%RH with AC and Dehu running so, best I can do lol too warm out

That blueberry yum yum fam! Wasn’t expecting that after all the country tunes lol

That blueberry yum yum fam! Wasn’t expecting that after all the country tunes lol

I listen to everything, the plants prefer the country music (don’t ask me how I know just trust me ) my playlists are pure insanity you never know what’s up next, even me and I made the playlists

Rap,80’s /90’s gangster rap (mostly remixes nowadays, then heavy metal, country, techno, I just enjoy tunes haha

Cloner box finished a 72 hour run without a single drip! She’s ready! Just need the correct timer almost time for a few Frostette clone trials

 

[Mikedin]

Picked up a infinite cycle timer as well that’ll be here tomorrow plan is 1 minute on 4 minutes off, I may start one tonight and let it run 24 hours straight until I get the timer, gotta start leaning what goes in, so far I’ll dip clones in clonex, add a bit of hypochlorite acid, and let ‘em rip and see what i have to change to have success, another project

If anyone needs an infinite cycle timer these are running about $15 on Amazon my other timers don’t have infinite cycle function

That’s cherry…..

Other timers I have are really nice and work great but that Infinite cycle function

Out in the garden now this really blew up this week while I was working lol big storm last night really dumped some rain and there loving it. Peppers and maters, cucumbers zucchini, onions, beans, peas, broccoli and more everywhere! the stalk on those sunflower plants… wow… defenitly saving some of these seeds for next year! We feed the birds in the winter, so we save all the sunflower seeds, these sunflowers where not planted by us that’s why there’s a big variety, they where deposited by birds that we get in the garden but when I get natural plants in the garden I let them grows one year I had a whole crop of tomatoes that came up from the previous years tomatoes that weren’t harvested and were tilled in for compost. Some of the strongest plants you’ll get, I look for them early and dig them up, till or turnover the soil and put them right back in

Thanks fam! Only thing I’ve fed it was some of the coast of Maine organic kelp/lobster/EWC dry amendment, about 2lbs across the garden as well as about 2lbs of organic garden gypsum, and As of 30 seconds ago a yard sale score just showed up, a 9’ circle outdoor wicker bed so the wife can sunbathe out back or on the upper deck lol

The garden was origionally started as a permaculture garden so I laid out cardboard 2 layers thick over the yard as it sat grass and all, and then wheeled in 10 cubic yards of 100% organic dark leaf compost, that was the garden base,

We’ll make some sort of mattress for it

Shangri La. Beautiful stream man. those compost piles holding some good heat back there? Here in Texas, I flip mine, it’s half boiling inside hahaha. What kind of trees are those?

All kinds of trees, oak pine, maple, but the compost pile leaves are maple leaves only plus organics from the garden last year, stalks leaves branches etc. they don’t hold heat well back there but nowhere else to put them but it works more of a cold compost, average temps here are 75-85 through the summer, we’ll get random jumps to 90-93 here and there but not too often

Jealous doesn’t begin to describe it. That’s like Christmas weather here!!!! your geography is clutch with them kinds of temps in July. Lucky. No wonder your yard looks lush, I have a nice collection of burnt matchsticks were my lawn used to be!!!!! Wait, I think I just heard my grass screaming for help

 

[Mikedin]

Haha yep I’m in farm country 100%, orchards and vineyards and wineries all around me (like other side of that creek and there making some of the best wine in the state over there, and here I am on the other side growing veggies figure my yard at some point was the old riverbed. Probably a million years ago before it eroded that far down, so I dig a hole and I’m about 30-40% sand, that plus the compost I mixed in, and some peat moss, next year I’ll add in about 60-80lbs of perlite when I amend in the spring been waiting to add it till the garden really started taking off.

Downside is early cool / damp fall usually. So far that’s why I’ve stayed indoor for the buds
