Creating a truly perpetual garden, and keeping it rolling.

Here we go again.... loading up the tent with the next flip.

Sprayed them with a bit of Salicylic acid last night, and fed them some glibberins via the roots. Going to probably add a bit of GABA today maybe.

Some pics of the hood. lol There building a hi-rise behind the grow. All my gear, helping an older vet friend do this grow.

Updates on the 2x4 tent here, into the first week of flowering... Did a light defol today.

 

[Frankster]

Here we go some from the other room. A bit more stretches up there, but single transplants into 1 gallons. Whereas the tent above is mostly groups of 2's in 2 gals.

Ok, here's the front 2x4 room. Ordered another 4x4 tent tonight going to stick it in the back 5x5 room, although I'll lose some room, I'll gain some better control over the area. Haven't decided exactly how I'm going to re arrange everything, but looking to get better overall lighting and ventilation control over that back room.

Master blend arrived, so I'll go back to that formula. One of the plants in the other room is showing some excess N, and a little clawing, if I can get that film off the other phone, I'll post it up, classic N toxicity. Must be a cultivar issue, lots of different strains going here. Most of this has been hammered with up to 1.7 ec already. (going into 2nd week of flower) I flushed the N out and hit it with some lower N flowering formula@ 50%. Ramping up the P here, as things come into flower a little better....

Moved the single out of this room and put it in back, so this area can swell up some more.
Coming into the hot season, so it's crunch time to dial thing in, so nothing spins out of control.

I just bought an L.A. Gardens 2x4'x60" tent so I could go perpetual myself but my $230.00 light bill hurts! I am into growing for $700.00 or so now. Nice looking plants, thanks for the views. SS

Many thanks to Budgoodman's gear. He's such a outstanding grower, a trusted colleague, and a fun guy. Many thanks for chance at growing the 3 amigo's buddy. Hopefully, I'll have them up and standing in the next few days, and start sorting things out some more.

Need to get the next candidates on line. Once I feel comfortable that these little fella's are erect and in for the haul, I'll start the "official" Pedro thread.

Why salicilic acid? And someone told me that when you spray a plant, you have to do it right before the lights turn off. Is that true? Thanks

Yea, that's the best time. Salicilic acid is a hormone that helps the budding process. It also stimulates a stress response.

It's not entirely clear to me on efficacy or dosage, but I continue to work with it to check it's benefits, I'm extremely interested in hormones.

I'm probably into growing for over $10 over the past 10 years,. minimum. It's a pricey little endeavor to get it going well, but worth it in my eyes with the savings in cannabis. Say I smoke $100 worth of weed every month over the same period, that's $12,000 so $2K saved, plus I learned something, and have the equipment going forward.

The new tent that's arrived for putting in the back room, to help mitigate my stretchy problems from lack of good light control.

Installing it is a bitch, bet my fucking neighbors downstairs just love me about now.

Some of that is Mosh's gear mixed in there, but I think most of that is the Gorilla Glue, actually.

Some in the new tent, sitting under the SP3000 on the one side and a slightly more powerful (50w) quantum with LM301H diodes.

My ghetto rig. lol This is how we veg in the hood.

I would love to see what you get after breeding it. What would you call it?

Well I've got my f4's actually already, and it's a really wonderful plant. It's probably the best phenotype I've obtained from breeding Frankenstein Kush Auto into the Early Miss Auto Haze.... I here people say it's a "bubblegum" pheno. Personally, I liken it more to cotton candy...

So for a name, I think it needs to be descriptive somehow, and reflect either the flavor, or the lineage... Like Bubblegum Auto Haze, something along those lines, I suppose. I'm usually not a fan of the sweet, but in this case, I do like it. It's sweet, but with some of that Kush kick.

I'm stoned as fuck on it as I write this. It certainly added a bit on the ripening date, but maybe a week or two, maybe 65-66 days now. The ol lady took a few tokes and off to bed, and me, I only can take a few tokes, and you put it down. lol. I respect those kinds of strains. You know you've got something good, when you have a hard time holding it up to your mouth.

Flowering from the front side, and backside. Did a bit of a haircut these last few days, thinning things out, don't want too much larf below this time around. See if I can improve in that by thinning.
