Seeds went in paper towel today. I will run Jack Herer next round. It takes longer than these 2 will.
I will post pics of the 3 autopots in the tent when i get it set up next week. I will train them a bit but I will flip to flower in less than 4 weeks. Or that is the plan. :D
The 315 CMH has been running 4 hours and i am at 86 degrees in there with the ventilation running full. I will also have oscilatting and clip fans to move the air around so i dont think it will be a problem. If it gets irritation i can just plug in my other light :D.
The tent is disinfected and ready. The light works good at it capped out at 86 and after a while it went back to 82. Everything is working as it should and this grow will be all 315.
I did the math for our hydro costs. Because I will run off peak this light with all of the ventilation and everything will cost me 20.00 per month to run (about 80 bucks for a total grow). This includes RO water and nutes. My MCOB cost me a total of 26.00 a month (104 a grow) on the last grow that works out to 8.00 per zip vs 11.00. So it is really a question of the quality of the bud. Autos are a lot quicker but with time of use building cost too much to grow. Now that time is my friend I can wait for a quality photo to do its stuff.
Damned seed sale. I need to turn that email off. I ordered more seeds because i couldn't pass it up. The tent can run for the next 4 years or so now. I just ordered 7 each of train wreck, white rhino, sour diesel and cheese. All are feminized photoperiods. I took amnesia and cheese auto freebies. And I have king tut, northern lights, jack herer, kushy kush and sour kush with a bunch of freebies from the last sale. I found something i like to collect !
Autos are for outdoors (great white north climate eh). I had 9 autos in the tent and it was great and all but i will try for the same with 3 photos
I get an android on monday and i can post some pics. This round is now 2 X sour kush feminized photo and 1 x white widow fem photo. I love both. Next round I try some jack herer (veg delayed) with white rhino. The northern lights seed was a bitch and said i don't want to live. White widow is pretty delicious so i threw a freebie in a papertowel yesterday :D or I will rock 2 plants with a 315 CMH,
I am crazy like that.
And wow I have seeds. When I get below 20 seeds i sweat. It makes me wonder what I did before. There is never a no weed period for me. I just want to nail my favorite strains.
I am one happy dude. This has taken me beyond the misery I was living in and smack dab into learning a new skill set and being the awesomest dad to my 30 year old son.
To clarify... I have 4 autos on the deck and I will grow 3 photos in my tent. I did the math and with our time of use billing and other liberal nonsense 4 to 6 at 18/6 and 6 t0 12 at 12/12 is always cheaper. So I see autos outside and photos inside forever. We are less than 12 months from legistlation so I have a few more grows to get better.
And next week I have a not blackberry phone. It is like being in the prohibition of phones.
Glad i started growing to cope :D
Northern Lights decided to die rather than grow in a tent.
I just touched the plants to move them around in the 3 gallon fabric pots and i smell like awesomeness. 3 are atuos and 1 is a photo kush that i have 4 tops on. :D Sour kush for my tent has died off in the past so i hope it recovers well in the box or i am popping 2 jack herer.
That one surprised me. I think I love it! at first it was weird . Like a skunk hit you right in the nose but i hate the lemon in haze and jack herer is like haze with skunk and no lemon.
and STRONG.....
If I get more seedicide it is tempting but what i have are all short grows. So White rhino is taking a shot after ome of these dies
Next round is 2 jack herer and 1 super lemon hazee because what if....
What if when I grow it I love it......
And it is STRONG.
I will keep you all posted. We are approaching the new frontier up here and I like to get a head of the curve.
I would like to add I am a giant newb. But a nerdy newb and I like to google the shit out of things after a bong hit,
I never want what i say to seam arogant or something.
Last years deck plants were awful. This years are the peak of auto flowers. I read it all here. And I watched a bunch of peeps grow some fine stuff under the same restrictions. I am thinking I might never leave my 4 x 4. It is perfect within our confines and maxing that out is where it is at. :D
Ok that king tut was stellar. Like really F ing A amazing. And I grew it. And it is FANTASTIC Railed I am and it has perfect white ash and awesome orange undertones !!!.
I had an epifany. I will move the reservoir out of the tent. As long as it is elevated it will work fine. And I might run the 315 CMH and 300 watts of cobb. I can run 4 or 5 or 9 of the cobs at at time (62 watts per cob) with the 315. The light is just sitting on a shelf anyway. It will not help with comparisons but i think I would slay my personal best. And the MCOB made the buds look like that King Tut. Orange and Green and delicious.
And white widow decided to pop a sprout. I will put it in a cup tomorrow after it gets a bit more tail to the root. So it is officially 2 X sour kush and 1 X white widow. Feminized photos.
I am the chairman of the hoard. Seeds from the sale arrived and I am not buying any for 3 years now.
The first are all indica
Blueberry, White Rhino, Sour Kush, Northern Lights and cheese
And 4 kushy kush
The next are Sativa
Super Lemon Haze, Raw Diesel, Jack Herer, King Tut, Train Wreck
And the last are autos. I am running low on these but I will only use them for outside from now on.
looking good so far! Im running a freebie kushy kush as well right now and it is growing twice as fast as all my other plants so watch out for that! shit grows like a weed haha!!
