Drinking from a Cattle Trough

Trainwreck - 5 weeks or about 1/2 way there. Fills the 4 x 4 well enough for 1 plant.

Fullgas is impressing me in veg so far. Both plants topped at 8 branches, the one in this pic has all 8 stacked in 2 1/2 inches. That's what I'm talking about!!

C4owc - is off to a solid start. If she is going to stretch it's soon. So far I'm liking what I see.

Nice early veg and the nodal spacing on that Fullgas is impressive for sure! Stay down SS

RSO will in the size of a grain of rice, under the tounge, help the pain, may inhibit the cancer, research is needed for Rick Simpson Oil, RSO. SSgrower

Thank u, I am looking in to that the moment. Hopefully this grow is good enough quality to do so.

There's a step by of how I make cooking oil back a few pages in this thread. Just some basic kitchen tools but the quality of the oil is there. Good stuff and I think it might help.

Another episode of the "did I get it all?" question. No, pressing does not get everything, wash those pucks! Never got around to weighing it but obviously there's a good amount there. That Yocan is getting a work out

Trainwreck - 6 weeks

Veg - 5 genetic lines

FullGas- going to flower soon. 26 days popped, 40 stems on a 9" plant.

C4 x OWC - she is beginning to shine. These girls stack stems tight!

I had almost forgotten how much fun cracking beans are. Pulled clones from all the seedlings except for chem4xowc. 4 of 5 genetic line and of course Trainwreck has already lost a clone. I let Bruce Banner go, thinking Trainwreck is next. 3 lines in this size system is enough.

Veg is getting crowded. FullGas is heading to flower soon so that will clear things out. I do keep the mothers until I see how the clones are doing, about time to clear them out as well.

Chemdog #4 x okie wedding cake, - CC - for this diary, is just a beautiful plant. Plan was to clone one and flower the other.

Trainwreck - 7 weeks

FullGas went to flower. Germinated 4-17 transferred 5-27 so it's a bit big for 6 weeks. Filling out the 4x4 shouldn't be an issue for this gal.

[jadins_journey]

cloner - 12 days cut. Light comes on in a couple days. Trying to germinate some flower seed but that isn't going as well as I had hoped.

Fairly sure the clones took so their mothers are gone. Only thing left in veg is Chemdog #4 x okie wedding cake (cc). Clone one flower the other.

FullGas has started training in ernest. She was a little tall going in so she should spread.

Trainwreck - 8 weeks - finally on the downhill with this gal.

jj

 

[jadins_journey]

cloner - about 3 weeks cut

Veg - Chemdog #4 x Okie Weeding Cake - Mother in the back corner and clones under her. Should be another week to flower.

FullGas - Little over 1 week in. She's got some legs!

Trainwreck - 9 weeks - started flushing her

6 weeks from germ and she's doing well, very well. Chemdog #4 x Okie Weeding Cake from @Trustfall. Mother plant was topped 10 days ago and has come back strong. Clones are 5/5 so overall I couldn't be more pleased with how this line does in veg. Today is separation day, mother and a couple clones heading over to a budies for an outdoor run.

4-27

5-28

6-8

Weekly -

Cloner - first light @ 14 days cut for CC. GG6 cuttings didn't take as quick so they got kicked back a group.

Veg - Next girl to flower is a throw back grow. OG Kush makes a return from the 90's LOL.

Chemdog #4 x Okie Wedding Cake - day 0 in flower. Training starts today.

FullGas - 2 weeks in flower. Training on the main stems is done. Offshoots still moved around some to even out the canopy. Flowers are showing.

Trainwreck - 10 weeks in. Pulled the red pin on this grow. She will stay for a few days in the shadows and get harvested later in the week. This line has dropped 1.9 and 1.6 on previous single plant grows and this gal looks to be on track.

Beautiful!

How do you clean your hydroton? Is it a pain in the ass to work with?

Thanks my friend! That's been THE question for years. I searched but couldn't find anything so I built a process. Been running the same rocks for years now and you will not find a root from a previous grow. Plants seem to not mind and it's pretty darn easy.

The 2 main parts of the cleaning process that I built are the seperator which works off of a vacuum with adjustable (very important) air flow. This takes the rocks out of the trays and leaves the roots.

Rocks have got to be dry to do the final cleaning, so I built a drier. Double bucket system pulling exhaust air from the HID's.

There's a few more steps in the process but really it's simple. Comparable to a guy mixing up his custom blend of dirt time wise. But my hands are clean lol

As someone who tinkers and builds things, I can really appreciate the effort and thinking that went into this! Love it.

Gotta agree with billypopcornsuttonbanchan, that is a great idea. Ingenuity at its finest.

Had time to take about 1/2 of Trainwreck down before lights out yesterday. I like this line, she'll probably stay in rotation for another round. The smoke is really good and the yield is even better.

It's rare to have all the lines together but they are in Veg now. The cloner is idle ATM as the last batch had rooted and selected down to one per line.

Gorilla Glue-pheno 6 (GG6)
Trainwreck (TRW)
FullGas (FG)
Chemdog #4 x Okie Wedding Cake ( CC )
OG Kush (OGK)

Chemdog #4 x Okie Weding Cake - 1 week in flower

FullGas - 3 weeks

Trainwreck - Couple weeks to go
