Basement lab

[Greenjourneyman]

So the lab got a serious lighting upgrade this week.

Check out The before and after pics for the veg tent. Downright Middle Ages in the first pictures, bright shiny 21st century in the next.

I got two of these 1000w panels. They have 100, 10w diodes. Cool shit, we are living in the future. Really excited to see the difference in yield this time around.

keep growing all.

For the last two blooms I will have here in 2020 I am really trying to beef up and increase my yields.
yeah guys laugh all you want. Last harvest my per plant yield was average 5.6 grams, why even do it right. though I wasn’t complaining when I dried out 72gs. But still it’s a pathetic average, I see people pushing well over 100gs a plant on this forum. First and foremost those sweet new viperspectras are pumping 1500w of glorious full spectrum light into the bloom tent. Praise be to allah, lets the light shine down!
so to the end of upping yields I’ve decided to invest in some more fertilizer produces and increase my attention to detail and training for the plants. I spend the last few hours doing some veg stage pruning and trying to clean put the vegging plants a little. Hopefully this will have a lasting effect on them as then transition into the bloom tent. The ones in the 1/2 gal pots also rally need transplant some have long ass roots coming out of the bottom of the pots. I have semi-hydro thing going on, since the hard plastic tray int he veg tent keeps the h2o from wandering off.
Only two snaps from the bloom tent. But already seeing a difference of those lights!!! Buds still in week 4-5ish and they are just as big as the finished product for my last bloom cycle. Hoping that pitiful average of 5.6 ups to well over 10 for these plants, then for those in the veg tent coming behind, I’m hoping to push those close to an oz per plant. Could all be pipe drams.
As mention I’ll be a bit of a commercial for the Roots Organic Line. Buddha Bloom used every 2nd watering in the bloom tent starting 5 days ago, and Buddha Grow every third watering in the veg tent. I, liking the results, but also spending more attention with the soil mix, blood meal in the vegging mix and guano in the bloom, trying to pimp those essential elements. Nitro grow, phospho blow.
actually feeling like the I’m finally growing at the journeyman level. Just excited to see how it all spins out.
be well grow on.

A little flower porn. The basement Lab is running just fine, I am getting better results from the bloom tents.
I have mad two large changes to the environment including light and nutz. And boy are they working in my favor. Keep trucking ladies.
It’s an exciting time just past day 45. I do have a while my guess 25-30 days until all milky to amber

Had a buddy of mine stop by with his high quality camera. Finding some of the beauty in these sacred feminines.

Sooo the basement lab is really starting to return on investment. We all know what that first picture is. My estimation is 3-4 oz, which honestly isn’t a lot and really isn’t a lot when you think about how many plants are hanging there. I will be lucky to see 9 or 10 g per plant. But that is up from the 5.6 g per plant I had my last indoor grow.

second picture is just shot of the whole operation. All three tents working in tandem, since the weed is hanging in the basement you can see that we’ve had a total change over last week. All the veg plants are in the bloom tent (last two pictures, and boy it’s a jungle in there).

—————————————
HELP NEEDED HERE THOSE OF YOU PERCEVERENT ENOUGH TO READ THIS WHOLE THING::
you can see this last batch of clones did not turn out as well as one word like, 2 or the 6 are just fucked and have been tossed.

Is this due to too small diameter of a cut?

I also read a cloning guide recently that advises little light. They have been under a 300w bruple. Would that fuck with the root development? Or be too intense and cause some light poison?
————————————-

those middle there pictures after the very sad clone are my new batch of veg plants. I’ve decided to go with a few fewer plants and try to get them beefy. My current bloomers are super beefy, but with 14 plants in a 4x4 tent there will be crowding. Ive been having really good luck the last two months with my veg process. I’ve developed a hybrid growing system, that is recorder a few places at this point so unless asked I will not bore you again with it here. I’m a little concerned that the bloomers will have stunted flowers or just outgrow the space with potential mold etc problems.

Its all a grand experiment. Be well and grow on.

Sweet little garden you’ve got there. Looks like you’re getting things figured out for what works for you and will only keep improving. Looking forward to seeing what’s to come!

Nice grow!
Do you supplement any Calmag and Magnesium Sulphate?
I would bump em a bit....under LEDs those elements are needed like oxigen for humans....

Thank you thank you.
its taken a bit of time and trial and error to Get to this point.
Yes I do use a fair amount of cal mag, every other watering I use the Roots Organic calMag product. Ilike that its not sourced from a nitrate which keeps the pH closer to balance.
I could increase The dose.

 

[Grapefruitroop]

Same here ....trial error......at the beginning i couldnt believe how much calmag and epsoms they were goin thru so fast...on a daily...
Try also Epsom salts, they are very cheap...
I used to do 1 g x gallon togheter with full dosis of calmag and the complete nute program...
Last grow i bumped to 2grams x gallon and they seems to like it even more, they were perky as hell!

got the propagation chamber and the veg tent coming at you all. Some babies in the prop chamber just aspiring to be plants. x4 SFVxHH, x3 Mex-mersh, x2 Myst Mt. so much promise, we’ll see where they go.

the veg tent is sot of a mess. I have plans to clone all the plants here. I’ve just been super lazy of late. Sometimes I feel like I’m trying to do too much at once. But so it goes. The obviously Sativa one is what I’ve dubbed the mix-mersh. the seeds came out of a realily shitty Bag from the black market. But just because someone treated it poorly in the supply route, doesn’t mean it’s bad dope.

Bloom tent is in night time mode. Pictures to follow on the other stream, @come grow with me now. The SFHxHH aren’t doing that great but further details later.

be we’ll and grow on.

Right when I had given up on the postal worker yesterday, that rain or shine MoFer showed up for me with the over seas order. Nine new strains and years of genetic potential for the low price of 150 US. New genetics in da haus! Can’t wait to put some in the ground.

I know their old school strains I can remember the white rhino from the 90s and early 00s. And buying Regs I was able to keep the per seed cost to under 3 bucks. kind of excited about the auto freebees hopefully it will really turn into something.
As always friends be well and grown on.

ps. For those who are wondering.
Seed came from:

https://www.marijuana-seeds.nl/

very discrete And prompt delivery, very discrete came in CD cases, I’m the proud owner of a copy of the titanic soundtrack.

Happy thanksgiving y’all.
im not a fan of the associated genocide, but it is nice to have a day for gluttony and family every year.
Just a few shots of the bloom tent today. Look to the over threads I have going for details about health burn etc. happy to say going strong full pistil popping all over the place, starting to get that funk smell in the house during the early morning.
second picture are my peace towers. I’m not sure why, I just can’t control height as tight as I want too. And always end up with a stretch armstrong or two. This time I have three.
really getting the Bruple Dream and Kosmic Lab dialed in. Happy green trees in there.
Eat some bird and be merry,

Happy New Year,,

well it’s actually into February, but it appears I really haven’t been tending my online presence like I have been tending the garden. sadly all those really nice nugs That were looking so youthful and spiritedly in the pictures above are all chopped and jarred. Sorry totally skipped the sexy flower pictures.

but exciting news. A few posts ago I mentioned all the new beans that came in the mail!! I planted two Each of the Ice and Nitro Lemon Haze. Only one ice popped, and both NLH. First tow Picts are each strain respectively. Compared to the Bruple Clone (last pictures) you can see the improvement in genetics!! Like @One drop like to say, New Genetics in Da House! Growing strong and clean, soon time to clone them out.

purple light Photo is the propagation chamber. Lot of activity in there. Little clone dome with some of the burple haze and some young kosmic grow, San Fernando, andts all from clone. the perpetual forest is A total reality, plants in all cycles of growth.

secone to last photo is my bonsai experiment. Was unsure if it could, but have some really dope training going on. I started by tying it down to make a spiral. Then over time I got the really ramped you growth cling off of the inside and outside of the loop.

as always friends, be well and grow on.

Gutten Tag farmers,

we got the bloom tent, veg tent, and prop chamber in that order for you all. And before a well meaning person tells me the bloom tent has some deficiencies, I already know. If you are interested it was a combination of the lock out then burn. Rookie mistake, but I happens to all of us.

What is really fascinating and new to my lab is the different age groups in my bloom tent. I took a page out of the perpetual growers handbook. At this rate I should have harvests off the different strains at roughly 3 week to month intervals.

as you can see there were some significant cal mag issues in the veg tent. I’ve been worki; on correcting that over the last few weeks. And I can honestly say they look 100% better. Also they have improved an additional 50% in the last two days since I put that space heater in the lab.

i was being super shilling smart and pound poor, the room was a constant 60ish most of the winter and the plants were suffering. Slowed growth, bloom cycle taking longer than it should, etc. then 48 hours ago I put in this light heater. So much better looking.

finally a little out of order is the propagation chamber. I need to do a little movement and repotting of plants those two big ladies need to shift to the veg tent. Cloned a bunch of the SFVxHH. But more on that in another thread.

as always friends be well and grown on,

Why yes lord Vader our clone armies will spread across the galaxy and conquer new worlds.

 

[Greenjourneyman]

Getting ready for the summer plunge. Been nice days this past week. Looking to put outside for mid May early June they have plenty of time to bulk up some.

 

[Greenjourneyman]

I should have named this thread the perpetual forest of Virgins or something then I’d have more hits and views.

Made alittle Room in the bloom shuffling plants about. Up to 9 at different stages of growth, trying to get on the every 2-3 weeks I’m harvesting two or three plants. Hard to perfectly timed out though, have to keep notes and calendars, I’m somethings a bit too much of a stinger to handle it all.

But doing a bunch of gardening work this morning. Transplanted 7 of ten seedlings that are going to my old mans property for the summer season. Got them in the bend over training. I’m having good luck with in for developing multiple top cola points.

then a Bruple shot of the rest of my summer out door stock. i Do like a clone army.

be well and grow on folks,

GJ

Finally got around to planting more of the seeds I bought way back in January.
we got Afghani, Crystal, citrus twist all poking up here.

NEW GENETICS IN DA HAUS!!

 

[Greenjourneyman]

Sooo.
Even after a while of doing this we make super stupid mistakes. I’ve just corrected a major problem. it appears for the last month or two I’ve been poisoning the shit out of my poor plants with acid. Nute pH has been in the 4 range. not sure if my probe died or what. But stupid mistakes.
Got myself new pH and EC tools. Should be seeing substantial change in the grow op over the next 60 days.

 

[Greenjourneyman]

Slowly weeding out the acid burnt plants from the bloom tent. Not great yields in any respect, but puff is piff. So ive been bringing them to finish. Some harsh buds though.

pH and PPM stabilized. The new veg plants are really loving life and off to the races. Have several strains going at once. Ice, Golden Nugget, San Fernando Valley Hashplant, citrus rescue, nitro lemon haze, Crystal, and afghani. I know too much in one tent, but it’s always all an experiment. just started showing some cal/mag issues. But that easy to fix.

as always friends be well and grow on.
