Drinking from a Cattle Trough

Not yet bro, at least not yet around here. Somebody said Labor Day was this weekend, where they hell did summer go? You LED guy's might get a break but these old parking lot bulbs stay hot up until Nov. lol!

Only ever calling non led lights “parking lot bulbs” for ever now

Yeah our Lowe’s are almost making it possible but I’d have to switch my lights on/off again, and after getting the shed dialed (thank you) I don’t really want to mess with it. I’m waiting for this hot stretch to finish up then we’ll see!( couple weeks)

Weekly- Happy Labor Day Weekend Farm Fam!

The wife's- there should be the first blooms from this run by next weekend


Tootsie x Okie - 14 days flower, 10 days preflower. I was a little curious, being the first time I've flowered this line out, what she would look like. Was beginning to get a little concerned if she would even make the 2nd trellis but she is a late stretch. She hit her groove when most others would be slowing down.



Chemdog #4 x Okie - 45 days flower, 10 preflower. She is a beast! Love this ole gal. Big nugs, nope not here. Dense buds to the point of top heavy, 2 branches I thought would catch the first trellis but didn't are low hangers now LOL!



Thinking it's time to drop the summer protocols and fill her up

still hot here. Lows are nice but not worth making the change yet. Maybe after Monday can totally feel it in the air and see it with the sun, it’s not far off!

Those under buds are really impressive JJ!

The flow of a perpetual grow can get tricky. Clone cutting is the best way to change the flow. I dropped plant count down to 2 for the summer and now it's time to take back up to 3. Sounds simple right, just plant 2. But that's not perpetual.

Grows with adequate room for mothers it's simple but in this little system big mothers aren't an option, little mothers are. To add in a cycle I keep the donor plants. They will clone again in 2 and I'll have to added plant. Clone every 30 after that and it's in winter mode, flower chamber will be full

The Wife’s- thing is loaded with flowers just a day or 7 more


Cloner- 8 days cut so I flipped the light on. Knew 1 wasn’t gonna make it now I see there’s 2 after a few hours of rays

Veg- I kept the mothers of the clones. Get a second cutting weeks before the clones are ready to cut. This move takes away the extra time gap in flower. Perpetual, ain’t as easy as it sounds

Apple fritter x Okie- day 0 pre flower. Had a ballast go down so I’m running it here. She won’t fire a 1000 or 600 HPS but she will burn a 600 MH. Good enough until the replacement shows up

Tootsie x Okie- 21 days flower, 10 pre. This gal went nuts day 12 -20. Just so you don’t give up on her

Chemdog #4 x Okie- 52 days flower, 10 pre flower so just shy of 9 weeks in chamber. She’s not done and I’m in no hurry

Getting back to a full house

Weekly- summer protocols are a thing of the past, and that’s a good thing cause my stockpile is dwindling.
Wife’s- finally got some flowers. They stretched a bit too much. Take care of that with first dead head

Cloner- 14 days cut and healthy 7/9, Chemdog #4 still proves to be a problem child cloning

Veg- mothers are coming back nicely
Newest member to crew-
Skywalker x Okie


Apple fritter- 8 days pre-flower


Tootsie- 28 days flower


Chemdog #4- 56 days flower and the first signs of fade

What's up my brother Bilber! Glad your back from summer break. We are going to do a method similar to Kratky next summer with some climbers outside, not inside lol. It's a method called "dave" as he did it back in 2008 and it worked then. Similar to Kratky but with hydroton

Chemdog #4 x Okie- hit the 70 day mark in the flower chamber so the red pin got pulled on the light timer. I’ll let her go another week with borrowed lights. Serious smoke right here.

The wife’s- finally got some flowers, even one from the one that doesn’t like hydro


Cloner- became a 2nd veg. This is why I clone like I do. If they root they can just sit right there


Veg- if my math is close I think I can squeeze in another crop of tootsie before P40 goes back in


Apple fritter- 6 days flower. 2nd round but first under 1k. Flavor profile of this gal


Tootsie x Okie- 35 days flower. She’s a beauty




Chemdog #4 x Okie- somewhere around 80 days in chamber and she is done, chop chop real soon

Chem4xokie - harvest da. Went into chamber 7-09 so closer to 75 days. This line has earned a spot in my memory, damn fine plant indeed. Don’t know I’ll flower her out again so a big thanks goes out to @Trustfall for his excellent work breeding her.

Ha.......jj, your show never disappoints!!

I love how the cloner got converted!

There is no way I could handle the growth vs space vs time in my areas.....that is the main reason for not going totally hydro......yeah....technically I am hydro, but you know what I mean....the growth is phenomenally fast, and that's just switching to plastic bags......

My 1g challenger plant is taking over my area......imagine it in a dwc......I'd have nowhere to sit......

You've got me thinking.......converted huh......
