ROAST MY LOW BUDGET GROW

[Mikedin]

View attachment 2374544
I use a Shop vac when I need to. The Drip is 1min every 4 hours and as you can see, some plants take it all with little ro, some have more ro. All my pots are on Feet Raised above the water in the tray when it runs off. Also, I Always run a Rinse every 4th week for 5 days, this is important to me to keep salts, mineral build up, toxins molds issues from taking hold. A good rinse a month helps plants take it in. I use a dwcw system now but used a rdwc system for last grow from home made engineering with tubing, buckets, funels, gravity with a tank pump timer system. Water goes in, through plant, down screen vented lid, into funnel, out a tubing into a Main sloped larger tubing, back to the Tank or waste if I flushed with 2 valves on a 3 way for diversion. All under 200.00 for 12 plants 1.5 ft apart. Lol

Damn, came in ready to roast…. So disappointed

they look great, setup looks great as well !

So atm I run 900 watts at the wall, 2 x 4500w led light ppdf 1590 max power 8 inch above canopy with 90% coverage the same ppdf in 1 10x5x6.6.
I also run a 300watt at wall, 3000 watt led ppdf 1590 8inch above canopy. All lights are on a Sunrise sun set mode, on till off on 25% - 100% - 25% off over 18 hrs.
I have another 10x5x6.6 aswell that I just collapsed and set the 4x4 back up to finish photos. Then that light fan humidifier will go into 10x5 for 450+450+300 at wall watts, 12k watts inside tent with only 1 balast inside running 82°f. I am Dwarfing this Auto grow to stay under 2ft and direct colas for Max yield almost 0 under buds, just colas.

Daaammmnn….

I have 4 suplimental light which runs 5m before lights on, 2 hrs every 6 hrs and 5 min after lights off. This gives my plants the sunrise farred uvb uva uvc light the full spectrum lacks for the plants to get all the photosynthesis they need this way. All lights lack the inferred uvb uvc uva light which is vital for photosynthesis in all plants which can be seen at its Max strength outdoor at sunrise sunset. Those yellow, blue red tones are not given to plants with reg lights. So suplimental lighting is super healthy plus uvb uvc uva light kills bacteria, nats, fruit flies, larva, molds before they get a chance to produce and grow.

Woke up today with this plant looking like hell. Put it in the tub and flushed it with h2o2 hopefully it will bounce back.

It can really throw ya off when shot like this happens. If it doesn’t bounce back in a day or two I will cull because I could use a little wiggle room.

Hmm why did you rinse them with h202 water?

15 days since flowering started and we are looking good. Plants starting to show some suga suga. I did put these two sick plants in quarantine. Idk why this is two times of this same strain of jokerz 31 that I started to flower and just are like duds. (Mind you these are bag seeds from bud I got from the dispensary) I have two left in the tent on the bottom left that look fine and one more that is like lighter green than everything else and looking sad. I’ve flushed and fed and flushed and flushed and fed and no change but it is what it is. Honestly I feel a lot better with a little extra room and just because I can’t let anything go I put the plants on quarantine in the spare room closet under a shitty couple led grow lights I have for starting the veggie garden. Worst comes to worst I’ll put the whole plant in my trimmings and make some bubble hash lol darn

Seedling box is a massive success. Already healthier than the clones I started with that are flowering now so I’m at least a month ahead of this last cycle lol Should have a few plants ready to go straight into 12 12 when these finish up on five or six weeks or whatever. Just up putted a few and topped them and going to start lst here soon in preparation. I’m not rushing it this time haha. I really wanna do like nine plants at a time in the flower tent on two cycles and have four or five plants ready every few weeks or so. I think nine in my tent is perfect. Tried twelve this time and it was a little tight(at once was up to 15 but after getting rid of a few I have twelve now but three of them are small plants I flipped to sex for my next run and are very small) ID rather have nine nice plants. It will be a lot of time and effort but I’m laid off now and chillin so

Quarantine plants look MUCH better after the flush with h202 for sure. So apparently that is the reason I did that to answer your question

 

[closettrapper217]

messin around with a camera, its tough af to get a good shot under grow lights for sure haha

17 into flower

I find moving them away from directly under the light helps, and I often use the flash even when its decently bright. But Hell, I am NO photographer. I drool at some of the pics I see Farmers posting here

Yeah I found it’s a fifty fifty shot. No pun intended lol I moved my lights up as far as I could and turned off four of the 8 bulbs to get these. Also put a pig piece of black poster board i happened to have in the basement over the back of the tent because the reflection would wash my picture out with the flash but I got a few and a few more tricks up my sleeve for next time. For me I just love looking at the pics and documenting the process for my self. I could look at weed pics all day lmao but they’re better when you nurtured them ladies from a seed haha


I’m just a newb enjoying the fuck out the process right now lmao

But once they get a little bigger and closer to the end and really popping I will be for sure sliding out one smaller plant out of the scrog and trying to get some real deal shots. I’ll hang ‘em on the wall in the man cave lmao

22 days into flowering and still progressing nicely. Saw a little high ppm in the run off so I gave them just ph’ed water today but not seeing any yellowing or degradation at all yet. Going strong, the excitement is building but I’m practicing patients because my first grow I was trying to cut the plants down at this point lmao

 

[closettrapper217]

Forgot to attach the video lol

 

[closettrapper217]

Got some cool shots using this free magnifier app to see the progression of the thc
in order of pics

[closettrapper217]

That gmo punch looking so frosty

 

[Oldchucky]

Looks like someone forgot to tell the plants that it’s a low budget grow! Looking good!

The lemon lava is two weeks behind but it’s got the coolest look to it. Looks super Hawaiian to me haha

Can’t really get it to come out as well in a picture but it definitely has a different vibe.
