I bet it feels good to get that second tent up and running. Nice work. Your outdoor garden is beautiful as well. This gardening lark is pretty therapeutic and in reverse it is therapeutically pretty.

Stay strong friend, your still in the fight.

Cheers,
Will

Thanks for the kind words how's your grow coming along?

Side bar- What dehumidifier do you guys recommend for the 2x4 tent for Flower? I need to get the RH humidity down and live in a VERY humid area as is, ok for veg but not for the flower tent.

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Everything looks great in your grow spaces. Flipping them to 12/12 sooner than later is a safe bet when you are trying out new equipment in a new set up. Running out of room sucks, having plenty of room to work and let them breath makes the whole thing more relaxing. I think you mentioned that you have humidity issues, so you definitely need room for air flow. Looks like you've got it, and you are on your way.

So aside from a dehumidifier, having more airflow will lower the RH? So I should get more circulating fans first to try out?

It's my understanding that lots of airflow -- both with sufficient exhaust fan capacity and interior circulating fans -- will make an environment that is not conducive to PM. It's not that it will make the RH go down, more likely it makes it difficult for the mold spores to settle on the plants.

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Gotcha so then basically I should just know I need to get a dehumidifier regardless?

So I decided to transplant my incredible bulk auto seedling today. I did not however put her into a SIP. She will live out the rest of her life in a wide 5 gallon nursery pot and get watered by hand. I will see how the top watering goes with her in the FFOF soil. She seems happy with the transplant thus far and there was a nice white root ball formed when I transferred her over.

After the pic I lowered the light to about 20" above the canopy and flipped it to veg mode to let the lady settle in to her new home well. I will adjust the light as necessary and flip to full blast later on. I did some minor LST just pushing down on the branches to open the plant up some. I am really liking this strain thus far as it's very tough.

 

[Evil-Mobo]

All beans dropped to the bottom of their cups, so I transferred everyone to wet paper towels sprinkled with Mykos and put in small zip loc bags. Now to wait for taproots and put the beans in soil. Things are going to start getting interesting soon.

Cheers

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Not a whole lot to report that's exciting. The beans are still in their paper towels, didn't expect tap roots in less than 12 hours anyways lol. The Incredible Bulk Auto is in heaven with the new 5 gallon pot and doing extremely well. No signs of stress at all. She's responding well to being topped also. Not going to top her anymore from here on out but this thing looks like it's going to be a beast for an auto. We shall see. Very excited about it. The Dark Devil is still growing too albeit much slower than I'd like. I need it to get bigger so I can move it to a 5 gallon pot as well. I am thinking of putting her outside for her grow. We shall see maybe the incredible bulk should go outdoors since it seems to be a tougher strain....... decisions, decisions...........

In the larger tent the NL and Sativa are well. The Sativa took another half gallon of water this morning as did the NL. Somehow the air line for the NL was disconnected so who knows how long it went without bubbling yesterday, but she's fine and she still drank her water. When the Sativa recovers better from the two sites of super cropping I am going to flip to 12/12. I do not have too much free height left due to distance from light to canopy and the height I lose between the two buckets that make up the SIP. I am torn on the NL though it really just does not grow too tall at all.......short pheno I have here on that one.

Outside garden is looking great spent some time out there medicating this morning and watering what needed watering.

Time to relax now. Thanks for checking in.

Cheers

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Very hot and humid day here today, whew. Outside garden is doing well, my Japanese Eggplant has it's first piece growing, I up potted it to a bigger pot and it's happy in it's new home of FFOF.

As for my inside gardens......

Well I set the timer for the lights in the larger tent to start 12/12 tonight when lights go out. I defoliated the Sativa some underneath sorta like a lolly-popping but no net. I'm being careful with LST now as she's getting snappy. I'm hoping the two sites of the super cropping finish healing 100% in the first week of Flower we shall see. I am worried waiting much longer to flip this plant. She also drank another 1/4 gallon of water since this morning lol. The Northern Lights is shorter than I would like to flip it, but I just feel this pheno is like this, we shall see what happens when she starts the stretch in Flower now.

[Evil-Mobo]

Now for the veg tent.......

So when I was defoliating the bottom part of the Sativa there was three take off branches that looked like good candidates for cloning, so I decided to try my hand at cloning for the first time. I setup my CloneKing that's been sitting here and got it in the tent and got three clones of the Sativa in it. Two look REALLY bad and one looks like it might survive we shall see.

I also got taproots on two more of the seeds in paper towels. So we have a total of 4 beans in Solo Cups waiting to pop. There is one bean left germinating. Exciting times for sure.

Pic from the veg area:



I am contemplating tossing the larger auto outside in the yard as well as the smaller one when it's ready for transplant. We shall see on that with how much space I have between both tents and what not.

Thanks for checking in.
Cheers

Good morning fellow Ganja Farmers. Update this morning from the garden.

Day 1 of Flower:
The flower tent is up and running still, lights clicked on as expected with the timer this morning. The plants are looking good, smelling good, and all though the humidity is reading high for a flower tent it's nice and cool and breezy when you open up. The NL lights did not need water this morning, and the Sativa only a cup and a half of my large water cup that I use around the house. I did water yesterday morning though and topped off last night before lights out.

Good morning:


The Sativa in all it's Glory this plant has been so damn tough I am glad I took cuts:


The Northern Lights Plant bushing out again lol you can't tell but she's topped/FIM'd for over 8 mains lol....just looks puny next to the Sativa:


As for the veg tent...... well the final seed sprouted a tap root in the paper towel. I am going to wait until later today to put it in soil to let the tap root grow a bit longer first. I woke up to a nice surprise, all three clones are standing up! First time taking cuts so let's see how it goes, one of the clones looks like shit still as far as the leaves go, but hopefully at least one of the clones roots and takes to soil when planted.


The incredible bulk auto seedling is loving her 5 gallon pot of FFOF and she done what looks like doubled in size since the transplant. I am really liking this auto so far, she has responded well to the transplant and the one time I topped her before transplant. I am really itching to toss this one outdoors and see what she does with mother nature.

The Dark Devil Seedling seems to be picking up strength now, starting bursting with some new growth, waiting for another node or so to transplant her.

As for the new seeds, nothing has popped yet, but then again I wasn't expecting anything to pop yet through the soil so quickly.


Time to medicate and have my coffee then go check on the outside gardens, veggie plants are blowing up as are most of the herbs lol...... The organics is rocking here on the Evil-Mobo Farm inside and out
Cheers

Nice setup bud! Very clean and precise. How you liking your LED? I have a t4 from him but it got PM on the inside so i have to clean it up lol so sad. Plants are looking good though man, cheers!

I am LOVING my LED's from Tasty. If you go back to the day I switched to it from the old light you will see how fast the plant had new growth in the pics, it's crazy. I am interested to see how the T4 does now in flower, but if the results are anything like veg has been so far I will be more than pleased.

Get that light cleaned off and back in action too good of a light to have on the sideline.

Hellyea once I get some time i will really check this thread out, had to do a quick scim though lol. N absolutely man! Im sick to my stomach right now not using her i got to use her in flower for about 2 weeks though added on to a 1000w hps, and it was a big difference. Side nugs all plumped up nice and that spectrum produced more resin glands than just pure HPS.

I have a T-4 1750 in a 2' x 4' tent flowering two plants for now.

And I have a T2-2100 in a 20" x 36" veg tent with a clone king and some plants starting out in there.

Have a second T4- 1750 as a backup and maybe another tent later on we will see.........

VERY happy with my Tasty LED's thus far. Have a UV bulb en route too for the flower tent to try out.

 

[Evil-Mobo]

UV bulbs arrived let's see when I can get them up, not sure if I should return the 4 footers for the two footers......

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Good morning from the garden. Day 24 for the Incredible Bulk Auto, and Day 2 of Flower for the 2x4 tent.

Flower tent, the NL barely drank over night, but the Sativa drank a 1/4 gallon over night.

Sativa Shots, she's starting to sex, I think it's female from the pre flowers we shall know for sure soon:



Shot from the top of the NL plant. She's getting sticky and bushy:



The tent is really starting to smell, the carbon filter is working to perfection no smell when the tent is sealed. Nice cool breeze in the tent too the environment seems to be working for now. I will be doing a preventative spray soon, just got my concentrate in yesterday. Will also be messing with the Pure UV bulb and fixture at some point this weekend and most likely just start throwing it in. Loving the SIP's so far so much easier than the DWC for me and the plants are liking the soil much better.

The Incredible Bulk Auto is loving life outside amazing the growth with this plant, I am going to have to find the non auto version of this strain I love this plant and it's toughness and vigor and growth:



And then there's the veg tent. I took a fourth clone yesterday and tossed it in the cloner. This morning all four clones were green and standing. Two of them the leaves look like crap but I think if they root they will make it once I toss them in soil. This Sativa has never liked transplants period. The Dark Devil auto is looking good and responding well to being topped actually started growing faster. I will be tossing her in a five gallon pot soon just a bit more growth first. As for the five seeds, this morning three of the five seeds were popping through the soil already so that's going well. I have never had seeds germinate and pop this fast before lol.

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Slapped the 4 foot UV bulb in the flower tent for an hour let's see how this starts to work out.

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Semi busy day in the garden. Got a burst of energy today and got some stuff done still one more veggie transplant to do later outside. I went to water the Dark Devil auto (Day 10) and she had beautiful white roots coming out of the bottom of the small pot she was in. So I transplanted her to her final home of a 5 gallon Smart Pot fabric pot which arrived today coincidentally. I also adjusted my light to 21" above the canopy of the clone king, and lifted the tray with the solo cups to the same height, which coincides with the dark devil as well for even light spread. Didn't want the new seedlings stretching too much and the clones burning. 3 of the 5 seeds in solo's are little green plants and the fourth is popping the shell through the soil.



*** Edit: Just realized this Dark Devil Auto is only on day 10, I was going off an incorrect date before lol.

There was no damage from the UV bulb ran for an hour today in the flower tent. I will try two hours tomorrow and continue from there. I propped up the northern lights plant to raise the level of the canopy for better light penetration. She's being over shadowed by the monster growing next to her lol. The Incredible Bulk auto is loving life outside, just keeping an eye on her soil for watering and letting nature do it's thing.


Question: If I switch my veg tent to 20/4 for the auto in it, will that hurt the clones and the new seedlings? VS running the light 24 hours on as I have been for the clones to harden up?

Thanks

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Good morning from the garden

Didn't update yesterday as I thought it might be annoying people to see pictures everyday, so trying to contain myself some as this is getting exciting. I'm sure all you OG growers are use to the action but this is my first go around and it's fun and addicting. So anyhow I have a question that no one has touched on:

Question: If I switch my veg tent to 20/4 for the auto in it, will that hurt the clones and the new seedlings? VS running the light 24 hours on as I have been for the clones to harden up?

Flower Tent: Day 4
Incredible Bulk: Day 26
Dark Devil: Day 12
Seedlings: Day 3

So I got up to make my rounds and got hit with a big surprise this morning in the flower tent. This is what the Sativa looked like LMFAO:


And let's not forget the Northern Lights:


The Incredible Bulk Auto Still seems Happy Outside:


And then we have the veg tent with the clones, the Dark Devil Auto, and the new seedlings:


I ordered a two foot UV bulb like my four foot one for the veg tent to play with. Yesterday I ran the four footer in the Flower tent without issue. Someone brought to my attention that with the timeline of events here I may need to end up with two tents flowering at once. I am contemplating getting another 2 x 4 like the Agromax I have as I have another LED for it and carbon filter, exhaust fan, UV light etc........We shall see how things progress. Right now I'm strapped in because it looks like this Sativa is about to take me for a ride LOL!

Thanks for checking in
