Drinking from a Cattle Trough

All my flowers drink from a cattle trough. It's been about 15 years since I've done a grow diary here so I figured it was time to update things. Like a lot of my fellow growers here I'm getting old and my health isn't good. Ruptured disk etc...

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
IMG 2278


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!

It's early but by the time they come out of veg, hell yeah!

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

IMG 2289

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
IMG 2291

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
IMG 2290

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
IMG 2293

Tootsie x Okie- 21 days flower, 10 pre. This gal went nuts day 12 -20. Just so you don’t give up on her
IMG 2294

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
IMG 2295

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
IMG 2303

Cloner- 14 days cut and healthy 7/9, Chemdog #4 still proves to be a problem child cloning
IMG 2306

Veg- mothers are coming back nicely

Wow jj!!!! Looks great!! 100% with the perpetual....with your style of growing and the space, I bet I'd f it up....!!..I love watching your grows!....definitely outta my league, but the Kratky is coming up......
Click to expand...
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 🤫🤫🤫
 
#970
Ha.....as always, I will definitely be lurkin in the background, rollin a couple while puffin on the pipes, waiting patiently to check how this dave works!!!!

Thank you jj, looking forward to the dave!

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

IMG 2314
IMG 2317

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

IMG 2319

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

IMG 2318

Apple fritter- 6 days flower. 2nd round but first under 1k. Flavor profile of this gal👍👍
IMG 2320


IMG 2321

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

IMG 2322


IMG 2323

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......
