Grow diary mission impossible (low to medium budget lol)

[jadins_journey]

According to Busby, unless you can read a large print book by the light, the plant can’t see it! You must’ve tortured It another way! I know what everyone will say! Fuck Busby! You Indoor growers are some Herm causing mofos!

I tend to agree w/ Busby. There's (2) 4' shop lights in my flower chamber I use every week to get pics, I have left those lights on more than once for 24 hours. No hermies yet. I have gotten hermies from weak genetics that never had a wayward light

Yeah im onboard : ) im pretty sure these clones were just beyond finicky to begin with! They hated the lights I was giving them from the get go! The moms had lights on them WAY closer in flower and had no issues at all!

Im going to get this run of XX’s done and move on to some Hindu Kush crossed with SFV og. And I have a bunch of Capt’s beens I want to get going, pretty sure those wont be sissy plants lol! He runs his lines hard

Thanks JJ!

Starting to look good. Can’t wait for another run in the books! Got my solos going but think im going to get a run of Northern Lights and Alaskan Thunder Fuck X Maui 86’ some of the seeds I soaked didnt all pop in the solos so I want a nice full flower run for the next : )
Since the new configuration I have been able to use some outside air during lights on to keep the flower room cool. What im running into issues with is keeping the flower room warm during lights off. I ended up getting an affordable circular inline 8’’ fan to circulate veg and flower at night (im going to swap the 6’’ with the new 8’’) the 8’’ will be inlet for cool air to flower and the 6’’ will go somewhere in between the wall to tie the two rooms together for lights off (heater). I think itll work ahaha!
The featured solo is CaptSpaldings cherry gas crossed with Maui 86’ : ) it’s a happy little plant! Fingers crossed it’s female!

Hey @GNick55 when you get a chance! I got a new (to me light) 600 watt inclosed ducted bulb light set up with the ballast and everything! The curent bulb is a MH600 watt blue hue bulb. I have looked around and realize I need a HPS for the flowering

Link is just for sake of discussion! : ) I’ll hit the grow shop up for a new light, but before I go down there is this what I would be wanting to get for the entire flower cycle? GRUOTVSZAK HPS 600 Watt Grow Light Bulb E39 1150μmol Ultra PPF 20% to 40% PAR Increases Concentrate on RED Spectrum 90000 Lumens High Pressure Sodium 2-Pack https://a.co/d/5JqQHhE

thank you!

I got like some 9 Watt LED's

LOVING THIS

im laughing at this as I took it directed at the age of the plants (not sure if you ment the room or if plants in what context hahaha) this run is taking forever, my fault. It feels like i took the cuttings a while ago. Working on the seedling and early veg game as I want to maximize for the perpetual flowering on “many medium to smaller plants” as apposed to the four or five large plants. part of it is im still trying to find my stride and what works best for the “coop”!

Thanks chucky! : )

 

[Oldchucky]

I mean compared to the vines you were growing and dipping in water! L O L! Night and day difference!

You get that SoCal sun though right? Are those supplemental for short days?

Thanks Plumber! It’s really coming together! I still have three more seasons to re learn the climate dynamics as I changed those monthly sense I start this damn project! but im having fun with it because its kind of working hahaha!

Thanks chuck! im still a little squirrelly but getting a bit of a hang on it : ) and thats with just not feeling stressed about it! I have picked more than a few things up along this way! Thats the best part and motivating, the thought of getting to apply the new knowledge next run! Thanks again!

Northern Lights and Alaskan Thunder Fuck X Maui 86’

Correction!

Northern Thunder Fuck x Maui 86’

 

[BearWater]

Also correction on the Cherry Gas X Maui 86! Have one more that made it and is looking good in the solo! So thats two! Not the best odds (im not a gambler nor betting man) but it’s better than nothing! Hoping i get at least one female out of them. And im going to add the Norther Thunder fuck to the mix today (they’ll start soaking in the veg room)

 

[BearWater]

Ok got the Northern Thunder Fuck x Maui 86’s soaking in the shed!

Couple pics of the HK’s doing their thing and the TWO Cherry Gas x Maui86’s! (Pic of two solos only)

Yeah thats a tiny ass straggler at the end (right side) looks like an empty solo and one of the HK’s was laying down for like 4 days so I dumped some water on the top of the soil and now it stands up… imagine that

And if you look real close you can see a freshly up potted “Christmas tree solo SFVog” hahahahah!

Also on a side note to the SFV. My buddy who gave me the lights also hooked me up with his line of SFV og’s! F8! Can’t wait to grow those out! I smoked on the seeded material after harvesting the seeds and my goodness! He also gave me a mystery strain of seeded buds! That stuff was border line “knock your dick in the dirt” so thats cool!

 

[Oldchucky]

But however, are you going to smoke it? If it doesn’t smell and taste like tutti frutti?

Oh im a burnt wood and diesel kind of guy so as I would smoke some frooty tooty shit. Im banking on it smelling and tasting like the petrol ️

 

[Oldchucky]

I’m through with tutti frutti! Was kind of disappointed that the freak sisters smelled like tutti frutti! I figured you would find a way! L O L!

I grew a “pineapple” strain outdoors and it smelled fabulous on the plant. Chopped and dried and cured smelled like rotten fruit! You couldnt pay me to grow a pineapple dominate strain lol! Ill give some things a try “cherry gas” : )

 

[BearWater]

Put these in water yesterday and now they are sitting on the light (I know water and electricity dont mix) but im a wild man like that so

And here’s a few of the “heater fan lights off mod”

I plugged in a 2' 8 bulb floro rig from hydrofarm and I had for gotten just how much heat they produce compared. Those inline booster fans should work for you. They are rated about 25% of an inline fan so keep that in mind if it gets a bit off.

It's a work in progress!! Looking good bro

 

[BearWater]

Yeah man I have three more rigs to put up in the veg space and I know that will give me the heat. Just need to get to that stage of needing them. (Thought about just getting one more installed for the heat)

Thanks for the info on the fan. I had to turn it up just a hair last night to get it to move more air : )

Thank you for the kind words JJ! It’s all encouragement and motivating! : )
