A Cannabinerd's Journey

[AlphaPhase]

Awesome bro, that is great to hear! I wish I could get access to these clones lol.
Those Glue S1's are looking very solid mate, they should turn out nicely for you
I can safely say my grow is completely farked, we had 39 degrees celcius yesterday and I went out to my grow box and found temps were 49 celcius all my seedlings look burnt and very unhappy. I'm thinking of just flowering them out now so the lights only come on at night time..this heat is not conducive for growing I have a feeling the heat may have contributed with the pH and nutes, to my issues before too! Man, I just want to grow my personal smoke, this is just ridiculous!

I'd give ya some cuts if I could! Maybe someday after everything gets legalized it'll be no problem man, I'm battling the opposite in my veg room, 16c at lights off the ghostriders hate it, either that or something is wrong (hope not those russet mites) but they droop alot at night and don't perk up as they should during lights on I can't imagine 49c Holy shit! That's like 120f right? That's definitely really high hoping ya can get it straightened out, do you have any sort of exhaust? Maybe possibly getting a small ac unit or even a home made ice / fan contraption? What's the size of the grow box, maybe I can figure something out to get the Temps down a bit, but dang, we'd have to drop the Temps alot. Could you run veg time for 17 hours and only run the lights at night time? That's if you're running the lights 24hrs a day, running only 17 hrs a day they'll be fine and 7 less hrs of heat would certainly help alot

Ha ha thanks bro but I doubt they'd make the journey to oz without dying or being taken by customs lol. I appreciate the offer though mate
Oh wow, I'd prefer lower temps than this heat, I'm sure it is just the cold for yours bro, you keep your grows super tight so I doubt it is anything else 49c is yeah, about 120f...ridiculous!!
My grow box is an old wardrobe which I insulated before setting it up. So it's about 450mm x 800mm x 1200mm high, only small. I'm using a 3 bulb T5, 2 x 45w cfl and 2 x 65w cfl in there. I have one 100mm (100 cfm) for exhaust and another one for intake and I have a small desk fan as well for internal circulation. Lights are on 18/6 at the moment with most of that time at night (sun down is at 9pm and sun up 5am).
As it's in my garage, it makes it really hard to get cool air in there. I'm thinking of running some ducting from the intake to a bucket with ice in it on the hot days to suck cooler air through it...I dunno man, I'm a bit stuck at the moment...

Yea...cant vote it to be fixed when the candidates being voted on are all part of the same corrupt system. But anywho cant do much except live so...bud porn!

Lol, I hear ya with the customs thing, someday we won't have to worry about it I hope Man, I'm not quite sure what to do, but if I can think of anything I'll definitely let ya know, I hope ya can get the Temps down with I could have some of your heat lol

 

[AlphaPhase]

Here's the ghostriders and sour power OG x Chem at day 7. See the ghostrider drooping quite a bit, this is right before the lights come on, then they perk up a bit more, I'm hoping they are OK, but the sour power OG is just looking lovely so I'm not sure if it is the cold Temps making the ghostriders be really crappie looking, I probably won't grow it again in the winter time, another week or so I should know if there's a problem.


Here's some kushberry, glue and Spog at day 28


Sour power OG stacking great

Yeah, one day hopefully
All good bro, I've got a week of lower temps coming so I'll keep vegging them this week and put to flower when it gets warmer again
Man, your girls are looking BOMB!! So good to see mate

Awesome that sounds like a good plan hopefully it cools down for a while for ya, is it usually that warm over your way? I never imagined it being that hot over there lol - and thanks bro! I'm really stoked to see how the spog91 turn out in hydro and how the kushberry turns out in soil

 

[AlphaPhase]

Here's another pic of the spog91, she's getting frosty as the glue just hoping she holds a good smell and the buds tighten up a bit more than last round, if she does she'll be a keeper because it's super heady smoke!

 

[eastcoastmo]

Wow bro, she is frosty as hell already! I can only imagine how frosty she'll be when finished! I imagine you'll smash the kushberry too bro, I hear it is pretty dank too
Bro, we haven't even started with the hot weather yet. We get up to 42-44 celcius in Jan/Feb so I'm getting very worried about my girls, need a fix ASAP before the heat comes back again parts of Oz get up to 48 and even 50 in some parts, bloody ridiculous hey!! We've already had some crazy bushfires too, I envisage a few more before summer is up!!

 

[DirtyNerd]

Looking fucking awesome as always brother keep up the great work @eastcoastmo brother first day of flower on your girls they are killing it ill PM you a photo soon

Thanks man, I hope so! Last run the spog91 and kb didn't get too much light, they were off to the side, but this time they are set up close to the light so I can get the best outcome and decide if she's a keeper

And holy shit dude!! That's hot as hell!! I thought 100f here was deadly hot, I can't even imagine 120f+ I'd literally die from that lol. Hopefully there isn't too many fires this year for ya, we deal with too many fires here too, lots of national forests and dry land from the drought ugh

Very much appreciate it bro what kinda gear do ya have going? Sounds interesting

Well, the extra light looks like it's doing them well bro, they should give you some top quality meds
Dude, I hate the heat, we get really dry heat here as we're away from the coast with no sea breeze, it gets pretty crippling just walking to my car from work lol. I hope the fires stay away too bro, cheers for the best wishes bloody droughts are horrible hey, this el nino is causing some severe drought here too, will only get worse over the next decade unfortunately

I think so too! New bulbs every 8 months, I will stand by this from now on lol. Your weather sounds about the same as mine here, just a bit hotter your way. I wanna live by the coast but it's so damn expensive! The El Nino is totally wreaking havoc here, 7 days straight of rain and it's pretty chilly. Still haven't got any snow though, but I'd actually rather snow than cold wet rain!

 

[AlphaPhase]

I got the flower tray cleaned and put back together today. Going to add some nutes and cycle for a couple days then add the plants. I'm going to do 19 instead of 16, that way I have a better coverage with the tray lid. I made the lid with 24 holes, so 16 wouldn't fit right in there flowering 19 will leave me with 2 glue for mama's and 1 sour power OG x Chem for a mama. Fingers crossed for a good run

Good call bro, always best to have everything working at it's best
Sweet man, at least I know I'd survive ok where you are lol. Crazy you get snow though, we get it but it doesn't sit because we are down in a valley. I'd prefer snow to heaps of rain too, even though we need rain badly lol.
Great work with the flower tray to mate, sounds like it will work perfectly

 

[AlphaPhase]

Here's the tray bro @eastcoastmo I had to get them out today since they are a bit bigger than I planned

They're 15" tall, all topped 1x and much bigger than the last run. Cheers to a good run


The ghostriders still look funky, I'm not sure what's up with them, it's looking like the beginning of mag deficiencies, but this plant isn't prone to needing more mag. Not sure what's up and hope I'm just tripping about it. They look nothing like any other plant in the garden and it's all 8 of them doing looking funky so my hopes aren't that high that nothing is wrong. Hoping the next run looks better, this always seems to be the routine with new cuts but then when I take my own cuts it works itself out, too wierd

Bro, that's a pimp setup, nice and clean those girls all look sweet as!! Cheers to you indeed
Did you say you just put the ghostriders into flower? My girls usually show a bit of yellow on the new shoots until they show sex, then they go back to being green again. I wouldn't stress bro, they look gorgeous to me

 

[papapayne]

Hey AP,

could you possibly take a couple quick shots of how you did your larger, wood framed screen? I am planning on doing some nice Screens just like it for my 8k watt grow, so wanted to see how you set it up. Also, any tips? I will quite a few glue in the grow, so figured would ask ya since you already are doing it!


Thanks brother,

Stay free stay high
papa

Thanks bro they are about 10 days into flower, but it's showing on fan leaves it's hard to see, I'll see if I can get a pic with the light off that shows it better, they definitely are growing Hella fast now though so I hope that's the only problem but the leaf margins are worrying me
