Shady Vacation… Round 4 Cure & Round 5 Prep.
It looks like you got a nice yield bro. Is the OG next up or do you have more strains along with the OG?
-Supa
Currently I've got 10 diff strains in the 2nd shelf's ebb 'n flow tray... All the Master x Bubba, and Round 4 seedlings are on deck for Round 5. Today I culled the
707 Headband so I can find a better cut. Depending on how the smaller clones look, I may run the OG Kush or Double Underdawg 3... :thinking
oh ok lol it stands for Underground Growers Alliance :)
Nice... I'm with TF1... Team Fluoro 1. :D And we're not limited to CFL's either...
Well done Shady!! They just keeps getting better and better as your skills do the same. So the old 24 hr thing really works huh? Did you take any before and after 24hr darkness pics by chance? Those buds look perfect brother... both dense and fat :)
Thx for the love buddy! Every round needs to blow the previous one away or at least equal it... :cool That includes my skillz and experience.
Normally I can't do the 24 hrs of darkness after harvest cuz of my garden's perpetual nature, but this is the second time I've done it. The calyxes swell and the colas fill out slightly over night. Unfortunately I didn't take close-up shots, but I'd suggest trying this technique on one plant to compare the results first hand. :nod
That 24 hr darkness really does a lot more than most people would think. Helps give them that little push to finish.

I agree Supa... IMO, It triggers a ripening process in the plant, and signals that the end is near... :harvest: Kinda like the grand finale at the fireworks show.
Nice bud shot Shady. So how did those pots work out for ya? I see you're on icm what's your name on there if you don't mind me asking. You can pm me if needed.
Looking forward to round 5, you have some Fire coming up in that one don't you?
Thx brah... Round 5 will def be full of fire. :smirk
I really like the
Smart Pots due to their lower profile and wider stance... This first experience did not take full advantage of their ability to prevent root spin out since I didn't over water or over feed. I think that if I had added chunky perlite to my FFHF and FF Light Warrior mix, then I would have seen more roots poking out the sides. :wondering As for ICM, I just lurk over there on a limited basis...
Shady those nugs look radical man!:party
And you Veg station looks cramped as always lol, but you make it work for sure! So tight that your station is ready right when round 5 comes along. should i say Destiny?
Your tent is sick man! is it a 4x4 or a 5x5?
As for the coco run off as HT said I think you should be fine. I beleive that bcuzz is suppose to be pre washed and buffered with cal mag, so 350ppm seems pretty cool to me for cal mag being in the coco to act as a buffer. If your run off came out like 1000ppm then Id' be like:anim_10: But I have been using Coco based mediums, not PURE COCO so I don't have the "hands on" exp quite yet(I will in quest 3) of PURE COCO.
I really appreciate the good karma and kind words justiceman! I wouldn't say destiny though... :whew Just good planning after a year of overlapping rounds and good notes. The dimensions of my Sun Hut LG are 54" x 35 1/2" x 84"... Also that coco was flushed with R/O and no
CalMag was used, so the 350 PPM is from the coco...
Damn those look stellar Shady!!! That Chem Sis and DUD look nuts!! Btw...didn't know if you saw on Wintas thread but thank ya mucho for the links on VPD...good shit and my main issue...
What up true grit! Thx so much for stopping by... :friday: I did see your response and I'm grateful that you found that link useful.
Wow man
Sick job bro, fantastic, mind blowing, superb.
Really looking forward to see how you like the coco.
I promise to do Master Bubba justice. Went back to look at the pics, got damn man, cannot get enough pics of your last harvest, fuckin killed it dude. Cheers to Master Bubba, lol I am cuddling with her tonight.
Such nice words from a nice guy... :rock I'm glad you like that Master x Bubba. Let me know if I need to cut her again... :itwasntme
Shady those underdawg looks dank as hell bro respect!!
Glad you liked the Double Underdawg TCM... That was the last time those pheno's will be run as I killed their clones at the beginning of Round 4. I've still got a few beans and DUD 3 to keep me busy. Thx again for the respect... :happy
Happy Harvest, brother man!!!!
:cool0010::icon_spin::harvest:
Right on CAPO!!! Harvesting is always bitter sweet... :mmm
Everything looks killer, those photos are so perfect, I can almost taste it.
Thx so much for the compliments M.S.T.!!! Looks like I've got another round to get some more killer shots before I can afford a Digital SLR. :wait Gotta get some more lights and grow room upgrades first...

Shady Vacation… Round 4 Cure & Round 5 Prep.
After a year of perpetual harvests, I decided to let the bloom room rest for a couple days. Here’s the initial wipe down with the Mega Garden in the tub to be used as the overflow section of seedlings, and eventually male plants will be placed there until they’re culled for pollen (they will be removed prior to any potential pollen release).…

I’m so glad to have my sink back as well…

And the temporary layout, until my upcoming upgrade, with 2 gal
Smart Pots (for clones in coco/perlite) and 1 gallon mesh bottom pots (for seedlings in hydroton) until I can pick up more
Smart Pots. The Mega Garden also has small 4” pots…

One last look at my 600W HPS setup before it eventually gets relocated to the bedroom…

Alright, let’s take a look at Section A’s cure in progress:

A sneak peek at the OG Kush mother in the Sun Hut which is the same one that I featured at the end of Round 3…

A closer look at a future mother from the bottom shelf of the Shady Veg Station, Chem’s Sis #4 with a new main shoot. There were literally only those two bottom leaves left as the apical meristem took a slightly different direction up…

P.S. I’m looking for any suggestions on good portable A/C’s. In my research I’ve discovered that 12,000 BTU would be optimal, but 9,000 BTU would be the last option to cool 2 kW. It also seems as though the dual exhaust models and ability to dehumidify are key features. Finally, I’m concerned that the portable A/C would have to be ducted at least 8’ vertically to the attic, which might be too long of a run for some units…
:icon_dizzy:
P.S.S. I almost forgot… I injected
Great White into all my soil plants a few days ago after watering and feeding them this past week. Last week I also sprayed Zone and Penetrator on the plants and will hit them with BioNeem tonight before I transplant and start Round 5 tomorrow.
