What strains are you running?

Elev8 seeds strawberry snow cone , elev8 seeds sour patch kiss, solfire LSP. They aren't crazy breeders or infamous strains but they will work for now .

Hello everybody . I'm DieselDud's wifey , I run this show lol but I'm here to join this adventure and post photos for everyone and learn from him and everyone else here. Enjoy :)

Interested to hear how the elev8 seeds turn out. I’ve read a lot of horror stories about them. Almost bought a pack of gg4 a while back.

I grew their gg4 and I had some nice a$$ tight frosty a$$ buds. Not large because I had 2 phenos out of the pack I bought. There was a sativa side and Indica leaning side. I took the indica and it grew great. I grew a couple strawberry snows and they came out nice and taste so amazing. Hoping for the same result but we will see. Fingers crossed.

Any keepers? Glad you had a good experience with them. Their prices seem reasonable. Just a lot of shade thrown on them over the years.

I threw some of the GG4 clones to a old grower buddy of mine he said it was the whitest bud he ever saw . But I got bored of it and was done with it. Plus I was growing in an attic and blew 2 A.C. units in a week and said fk it all together. So I think it was a combo of all that, that led me to just giving up on that adventure .

Your room looks awesome. Is it all framed? Looking forward to seeing the LSP

It's all 2x3 framing fully insulated and sealed.

Nice looking room DD I’m betting it beats the attic you were growing in. I wanna watch u kill it with these strains

You don't even know my knees and back hurt so much working in a 3-4foot ceiling 5 feet in the center

Just topped them so i can take some clones down the road. some are drinking faster than others so I feed (4) 1 day and feed 6 another day. Water is 68° when being fed , I make sure to properly water to allow run off of excess nutrient. They are at 850ppm and I'll be upping it to 1000 -1200when I put the blocks on the slabs. So far they are reacting well to everythinf recovery time has been quick when pulling fan leaves off so I hope I get quick recovery with this topping. We will see it's my first time in rockwool.

The lights are 4ft KIND led strips. Both spectrums 2/2 200 and something watts at the wall

How do you like the kind strips? I was looking at these at my local store over the weekend. Was thinking of adding to my COB’s.

I have 0%complaints with the lights. I like the full spectrum but I bought these 2 years ago from my local hydro shop and only really used them as supplemental light in my flower room that I had. So as main light. They are working great not sure they will be strong enough for a flowered lady

Feeding them again , so far they feed every 3 days and the ph of the run off going into the rez seems to have stabilized and comes out 5.5. They have thick nasty stems and great color. Minimal air movement in the tent. A 4 inch can fan and set on low. Seems to like it a lot. Humidity is lowish and temps are 75.

So far things aren't looking as well as I wanted. I'm seeing a lot of male action in my tent. I believe out of 10 plants planted I have 4 or 3 females. Still waiting to see but so far it looks that way. The end of the week will give me a better idea of what I have to play with

Lmk what you think

Anyways what I was saying is . I want to,run as little electricity as pissible and I like that it automatically drips. Incase power went out . but,if the water level drops,in the tank it shoupd in essence drop the pressure thus stop the dripping. Should I not rely on the pressure and just keep the pump on ?. Or do I keep my rez filled to 50 gal and contantly adjust my nutrient levels to what the plants eat.? I want as little electricity and work involved. I work to much to always be here adjusting. I guess I coupd buy a nutrient auto feeder as well?

Room is almost finished and ready to get filled with some dank buds . In a week or 2 I'll be ordering 1 more Fluence fixture . I installed the new foam tile floor , it helps with the cold in the winter and it's a pleasure to walk on . Easy to clean up a spill and I can remove with ease. I'll run this setup a couple times but eventually I'd like to go with an 4x8 table filled with rockwool
