Still learning, still growing

Wow, thanks. Didn't mean to make you recount all those painful memories. Luckily SunHuts also have locking metal corners.

Oh no worries, glad to post and share. Just another "learning spot" for me :D

I will say the new tent from gromedics is awesome. Double walled vents, many vert size options, sturdy, light proof, plus I love having the extra room to move. Its a 4x8x6.5 I found on ebay, shipped fast and was 150 with shipping. If I remember right, being I was just starting I think I paid almost that on the 4x4, but overall I am enjoying having 2 areas

Temps great for last few days since flip. And got a bonus, while ripping a bowl of white widow I found a lonely large seed :D Will be a nice addition to the area

Weekly update :

total of 3 w. widow seeds :)
6 new rooted GSC clones (1 looking sad )
strawberries showing flowers :D
Tomato's semi trellised for now and filling in nicely
popped some morning glory seeds for something with color.
Moved a bunch of patio plants into another area of the shop due to temps dropping and storms the last few days, kinda cool looking over and having blooming snapdragons and poppy's :)

Decided to turn my old veg cab (2x3x4 old dish cabinet) for some babies and extra room, Ill work on that this week.

Also mcgyver'd a nice chicken heater due to winter time. Took a clamp light I had, addded a repti black light and screwed another deflector to the other side. That sucker works great! My girls love it and can be touching it without getting burned. Emits 78-82 at all times and is right in their coop. Good I need to get a life :eek:

changed the e&f table a bit due to seeing no need to flood that much water/nutes and rigged it as a top drip now. Ive seen a huge explosion in vigor since then, we shall see.... pre flowers showing and the maui kush seeds I found seem to all be female :D, again we shall see what the cards hold. Looks to be a hearty strain.

Im sure there's more , but that will give me rambling to do later lol. Have a good week all, Happy Holiday and good karma too all of you and your families and friends

All Maui Kush are female and looking great, 3 cuts off the GSC rooted and are in small pots for now. And got us a new german shepard pup :D Now we got some future security additions

Did some changes in the veg tent

Swapped out the 400 HPS for the 330 CMH, now hung vert. Saves some power, and honestly I saw great results vegging CMH

2 GSC clones doing great
1 Black Cherry Soda great
2 White widow seeds soaking next 24/48 hours

Strawberries now really bushing out, with a few berries coming in. Morning glories now climbing, tomatoes filling in, with a small tomato coming in at the bottom. Picked up a spider plant and a christmas cactus from Turkeyday gifting
and got a new puppy :D.

looking great. Man the veg&bloom seems to be taking care of everyone! Topped of the res last night, Got some white widow seeds from a bag of coop stuff so they are in coco after soaking 24 hours.

 

[urbanfog]

what a amazing thing a few days makes! Swapped the 1k MH for HPS last night. 2kppm V&G

Shoot the wife even said as big as they are, fill the other tent too! I about broke my neck turning towards her, god she is hot! but I figure Ill do fine with the 6 I have going. Also moved the sugar haze into a bucket like system that Ill be converting to a bucket, she is huge already so I am giving her a bit more space. Maybe after xmas I can add a light mover for the 8x4x7 flower room to take advantage of some of my extra room

Thanks man, everyone gets better and the thing I have learned most is keep it simple and learn to read your plants not bottles :D

You are one of the folks like ken, mark, seamaiden, and the others who give so much and dont have a problem with questions from growers that are learning!

Man had a close call this week with the flower tent.....again a broken support beam on my 1k with xtrasun hood! again stupid plastic connection :facepalm: Got it set for now kind of "kiddy whompass" and will be designing a better support system, Im thinking using 1/2 in electric conduit......No flowers broken and no burning that I can see so far after 48 hrs so we shall see. Broken my glass, but not totally, made a call to Gromedics, and its been 3 days with no call back....For now Im giving them the its the holidays exception. Although I talked to a dealer of there in CO and AZ and they were awesome at customer service and trying to reach their rep with no luck either.....we shall see.

Anyway, could have been worse. moving on. Got rid of all but one tomato due to space in the veg room and cleared some room. Some strawberries coming in but Im just gonna let them go for now and my pup loves the berries :)

Happy Holidays to you all and may karma shine on you and your families strong!

so how did that last run turn out, which of those yeilded the most which one is best smoke.

 

[urbanfog]

the bluediamond produced great nice full colas. and the bubble hash came out great, smells awesome nice and fruity. I was able to get some seeds from her also so I plan another go with the strain for sure. These maui kush really have impressed me also, they get fatter daily, The smoke they came from was aweome so I cant wait. The gsc is coming along slower than the sugarhaze and the maui kush for now, but lots of budsites and smells awesome.

Lost a good friend yesterday, spent the day helping my daugher thru the loss of her beloved uncle "B" , while dealing with my own great memories of a big ol bear of a man who wouldnt hurt a flie. Great friend and brother, Ill miss you "B" and Ill make sure to take care of your boy, he's a fine young man!" Spoke to your wife and son last night, and they like a lot of us loved you man. Ill see you one day on the playing field again, be at piece my friend.

Merry Christmas Riuddler's You are a part of my family too

Just some quick shots, coming along nicely day 57 in the flowwer tent and clones up potted and a few new things coming. Working on a nice aquaponics set up for the veg room, but will be a project in the works

Yep, even got pics :)

It is a generic tent (4x4x6.5) purchased from amazon I purchased about a year and a half ago. Was holding a 400 watt cooltube (the one in my veg tent) and some plastic trellis material I came out one morning and the upper corners had given way (the plastic corners) I assume after over a year the plastic became brittle and gave way. Once one went the other 3 started and by the morning it was half way down. I ordered larger corners from ebay replaced all of them and fixed it, but I will keep much better eye on them now. The new flower tent has metal locking corners , which I looked for in my new tent.

the 4x4x6.5 was like 80 shipped and the 4x6.5x8 was 140 shipped if I remember right. Both doing great. Harvested all the maui kush and a gsc. Is some nice smoke, keeps getting better and better with every go around. I decided to keep the gsc going so I have a few cuts vegging and a nice mom. Also have a white widow in flower that has just begun to take off.

Hope all is well
