Perpetual, permanent, perennial grow diary... 🙃

Oh I know, you're absolutely right. I think/know I f@cked her around waaaay too much but will just let her finish now.

Live and learn etc.

MORE DIRT!
Feed me seymore!

Looks great, but I’m gonna go ahead and speak on the elephant in the thread,

That last pic,
I think that’s definitely a large pot.
Actually, on second thought, it needs to be uppotted

I really happy to see you making great gains Lenhug.
But the real elephant I in the room is your propensity for autos.

Friends don’t let friends grow autos, I think you should make the switch to photos on you return.

Ha, thanks man.

Well you never know, it might happen. Let's just say I've been talking to our friend @Trustfall recently so preparations are in place.

I do like my autos though but I've gotta do a photo grow as well at some point.

This is actually a great example of that limited time window you get with autos. Any wrong move or stunting and B00M, it's all over...lol! She started flowering after 22 days which is not unusual for them but I've never had one that quick.

Also the outdoor grow, so less light means less time in veg so I suppose must make less growth. He says looking for excuses... ;o)

Maybe I'll stick to autos in the tent and photos outdoor? And 3 gal pots for them, definitely the sweet spot for me I think.

All good fun and a learning process anyway.

Like I said above, it's in hand, it's in hand!

Well, homeward bound today after a fantastic mini tour of the state with the kids. Sequoia, Yosemite and the central coast. Amazing and beautiful in equal measure, what a gorgeous country you have.

I'd be lying if I said I can't wait to get back to see my plants and start the next grow off, just don't tell the wife...lol!

As discussed elsewhere with @Lockebox there's a Night Owl drop next week and temptation rears it's head again.

I was after Mignight Mass, one of their Dark Owl collaborations, but it seems to have disappeared from the provisional list. Midnight Marathon should make a surpise appearance though so hopefully get some of that.

Also tempted by a few others I have to say. Mango Isle F2, Compton Quoolaid and the Milk and Quookies F2 (cos of the Bruce Banner lineage) are all in the mix I think.

Choices, choices...

 

[lenhug]

I've not mentioned any of the Chemdog stuff which in itself is very cool they have been working together but I'm not really a fan of the strain as didn't enjoy some edibles of it ages ago and never went back. I should love it but thems the breaks as they say. The story of it's creation though is always fantastic and good to hear again and again.

 

[lenhug]

Ok so back home and back at it. Will post some pics of the two outdoors, the bonsai ( ) and photo later.

But in meantime let's get the next grow on the road, I am excited!

After much debate I think I'm gong with these below. The only one I might change is the Froot fuel F3 but I dearly loved the F1x (just a delicious and delightful smoke) I grew a couple of grows back so don't think I can resist:

Mephisto - Blue-C birdie

As promised, here are the outdoor updates from today.

Pineapple Skunk
- She's looking good after her feed a couple of weeks back and just beginning to pre-flower it seems.
- I also removed all the LST I had on her and will just let her go now. Check out the bend on that third pic, cracks me up.
- Considering veg feeding her again but not sure yet. Maybe just wait till flowering feed time.

HBSSxNCH (Bonsai master!)
- She's stomping along in her own special way. Nice buds just not many...lol!
- I'll give her some flowering feed tomorrow and see what happens.

So this is going to be grow #7 for reference.

I really want to try and get them off to a strong(er) start and will be using Coast of Maine's Seed Starter blend. I also have some budcups to put the germinated seeds in and help those roots out. I'm a sucker for a new toy...lol! Will post some pics tomorrow.

Then the provisional plan is to top all the ladies asap and that's about it, maybe slight LST to pull them apart after. And think I might change from 18/6 to 20/4 light schedule this time around.

 

[Captspaulding]

May I suggest sliding it under something? No biggy if not, but I think it could do with a bit of filtered light for a few days or so.
Good work on that lst homie!

Thanks man and yes you absolutely may!

You mean the Skunk right? I did think it looked a little hot (yellowing lower leaves) as its not been in any shade for the last couple of weeks I've been away but thought might just need extra watering.

Will put it in the shade tomorrow.

 

[lenhug]

We are go for launch Houston!!

Got them in some budcups and using the Stonington seed starter soil here:

Sprout Island Blend™ Seed Starter

So, had a delivery this afternoon. It's umm, rather large!

Should hopefully solve my Summer heat issues for indoor growing (hallelujah!) Got to move my setup around a bit but looking forward to getting it all hooked up I have to say.

Talking about that, I've been trying to sell my old ACI 3x3 all-in-one tent setup but have been ghosted a few times now by people who were definitely going to buy it, yeh right mate! Why do people do that, just say if you're out?! No big deal but just be cool about it ffs. Anyway, I digress.

So now I'm thinking, sod it, keep it and maybe get a perpetual grow setup or something with the two tents at least. Need to mull over how to go about this with two tents (any advice welcome!) and also how I'm going to move the setup around. I'm actually running out of room in the garage...lol!

Amazon, it's like Christmas all year long

 

[Sunin]

keep at least two set ups and leave yourself this tent. veg in one and flower in the other
then you need small something in case you have to pull out, separate, finish in case- i keep my 2X4 for that. tried with 3X3 but it fell apart no answer from german quality producer

what's your tents and space now?
I wanna see that clunkier unpacked

HAH Man, you will have fun with that! I remember when I got environment control for my bedroom and closet . Because I sleep in there I was able to justify getting it, as it cools my closet grow and will keep me cool at night in Summer.

What kind of advice are you looking for? Like how to get a perpetual harvest going, with timing of planting seeds or taking clones etc so when you harvest you move more plants right in? I love perpetual harvest and its how I do it, though I am just getting started again after a number of years. I use 3 tents, but I just like having a cute lil tent just for clones/seedlings, I could easily just use 2 tents, you don't need 3 I just like having it.

 

[Sunin]

I always keep third one packed as for two up I would get a probation and could maybe talk myself out of troubles but for 3 - well and clone in this third one? Portlaoise have biggest female prison here, nice around there

Lenhug is offline as he will be unpacking now for 5 hours all the goodies

I've got the main 5x5 and the slighty older 3x3. Veg and flower tent was my initial thinking also.

Will update once it's all unpacked unless I get trapped underneath it!

 

[Greenjourneyman]

O you’ll need to look into a propagation chamber if you want to do the cloning science, but two chambers are good enough for production growing,
