Have at least 2 weeks left before I can throw these 2x 3gal Blue Ripper's outdoor (up-potting them to 15gal when they go out). Been trying to hold them in the 2x2 tent at 16/8, letting them dry right out, no feeds. We had frost last night (actually scraped ice off my windshield this morning!) and they're calling for it tonight. They're out of control, wall to wall and maybe 6" left before they hit the light. If they don't slow down I may have to do a temp setup in the garage



Cheers

you could take out your light and just put 2 x 13w cfls in there, that will slow them right down.

Thanks, good idea but it'd be a pain to change out the lights again and don't have any fixtures to run CFL's in there. Pretty well there already power-wise, they're not getting much light and only 16 hrs. a day. The light I have in there is one of those "150 watt" Chinese blurple LED's. With the veg-only switch on and bloom switch off, it outputs only 63w. If I can get them through to next weekend I can start putting them outside during the day and in the garage at night for a few hours more light, frost wouldn't be an issue in the garage. Wish our weather would cooperate here, it's been a drab/cold/wet spring so far, has to break soon @#$! Cheers.

we have the other side of that problem. it has been so nice, we already have forest fires and water restrictions starting to take effect.

Yeah the west seems to be really dry, that's crazy talking about watering restrictions in spring! Hopefully some balance soon, those poor bastards fighting the fires in Fort McMurray could use some rain about now

@GroErr Hey G. Can you give me the rundown on the capsules you make plz? Tbh I'm trying to look into something more fissible for an everyday type of vitamin rather than having to smoke more often. My tolerance is pretty high, but I suffer from everyday nausea/anxiety/panic attacks/insomnia etc which are ultimately leading to unhealthy weightloss Quality cannabis just helps me manage and regulate my everyday life. There is no hope for a dispensary around my parts in the near future and I have zero access to outside sources. Is there any way you can explain the process you use, amount of flower/hash/etc and actually making the capsule itself. Sorry for the questions....I'm inexperienced with concentrates/cbd oils/shatter/wax/etc. I have to stick to finding/growing the best possible weed (which isnt always an easy task). I know you like to stick to your CBD heavy strains..

Hey @Mineralz, no problem, have posted this here before and keep it handy. Only thing with this recipe is it uses dry sift/kief. It's easier to make consistent doses. If you haven't made dry sift it takes a 100u screen, some 2x2's to frame the screen and sift your bud/trim through it, lots of info around on that process. This is a recipe I grabbed off one of the sites and just tweaked the directions so it's more like step-by-step for someone who's never made them. Sounds like your issues are perfect for caps. I use them in 50-60 mg daily, mild buzz and great pain relief. You come down after a few hours and it's a hard crash, it's like a sleeping pill but better Any pains from playing sports, or if I pull out my back, disappear after an hour and that pain relief lasts overnight.

You can tweak the amount of dry sift to make them more potent or less. Examples for 100mg and 50mg are in the doc and how to calculate the dosage. People react differently, even people with high tolerance to smoking can get pretty whacked on them, I'd suggest to start with 50-60mg and go from there. You can always take 2 if you want to get really buzzed. The key to how potent they are lies with what material you start with. I keep my popcorn/trim separated by strain and mix them sometimes. The last batch I posted was Harlequin (high CBD) and Blue Ripper (high THC) and they work well together Cheers, pm if you need any more info.

Dropped 5x Harlequin (F) x Blue Ripper (M) in the cup late last night. Two on the right are raring to go



Cheers

Hey Groerr I recall you mentioning that you use some organics in your root substrate like EWC or compost, do you ammend with nutrients or use synthetics?

Hey, I use a base soil mix with a generic term called triple mix which contains pre-mixed compost, top soil/loam, and usually some peat, the one I typically use also contains some manure. I mix that about 50/50 with hp pro-mix with myco's which ends up with a decent organic mix but with good water retention and doesn't pack. It's good enough to get me through veg and first few weeks of flower (I up-pot at least twice so there's always fresh medium going into flowering) but eventually runs out of nutes. I supplement as needed with just AN A&B base (Grow) formula.

In veg I typically just water and sometimes give low ppm like 400 (AN Bloom A&B) if I have a pheno that needs a boost or I want to speed them up a bit to fit my perpetual cycle. In flowering I'm running typically water-water-feed and adjust more or less depending on what they need. When I feed in flowering I'm going no more than 500 ppm so it's very little every 3rd watering or so, just enough supplemental nutes to keep them green. I tried fully organic at first when I went indoor but found it attracted too many flies and bugs. I haven't had to deal with any bugs/flies since I started running this mix. Cheers.

Cam view of the gardens. Packed up, party materials in hand, heading up to Rama with some friends and the ladies. Party, casino, concert, party, casino... repeat as needed One of the only hotels in Ontario that still has a few smoking floors so no need to go outside to puff jays, they don't care, kind of a what happens in Rama, stays in Rama type place...

Everything's humming and fattening up. Those DOG and Fireballs in the veg cabinet (top-left) are exploding and have 5 weeks to go or so, still haven't fully sexed but looking like at least 3 fems Veg tent (top-right) has another week or so and filling in well, will run 5x 3gal's under the CMH next. Flower room is doing well, those 4x 3gal's are almost done at week 7, they're finishing super fast, will have a better look on Sunday but I think the Blue Ripper 1 and Blue Dream are about done. The 3x 5gal at the back of the flower room shot are just monsters, all 3 are blowing up and filling in with bud. Should be done stretching now and settle into flowering, almost 3 weeks in there. The 2x 3gal eventually going outdoor in the 2x2 tent (bottom-right) continue to bush out in their limited space but should make it another week or so when I can get them outside.



Cheers

Have fun on your trip G .
Your grow is spectacular as usual . ...
I still find it hard to believe that burned plant was yours......lol
My week has been 10+


Peace bro..

 

[DesertGrow89]

Yes, I recall you saying that you had bug problems with the strictly organic medium. Looked it up and found the vigoro triple mix. So if it's a mix of soilless and soil what do you pH your res to in the low 6s for veg and slightly higher for flower?

Of all the people that could have happened to on the forum it happened to someone with one of the most automated and dialed in grows..

Thanks Bob, every once in a while have to f'up a plant to remind me to stay focused A rough "morning" we got up at 11:45 to check out by 12:00 Keep those ski's going as long as you can! Cheers.

The one's on those branches in the flower room are all looking good, may leave the Blue Dream in a couple more days to fatten up the seeds (Dream Reaper?). Will try and grab some pics of the seeded buds tonight or tomorrow. Cheers.
