Trying to do too much

[hotrodharley]

Do you have an EC or PPM meter? Yet? If not I strongly urge you to buy one. The Hannah Primo series are perfect and affordable. You must know your PPM including the water before starting. I suggest starting around 300-350 and monitoring it daily at least. Several times daily if you can. The PPM will be fairly stable and then begin to drop. If it drops more than 200 it's time to refresh the solution by topping it off (I do not recommend this for newer hydro) or changing your res solution.

Start the next time at 450. And repeat. Your ultimate target range should be around 1100. During full bloom, last cycles.

There's guys that run hotter but play it safe.

Negative on the ppm meter
Gonna benq few weeks before i can afford one of those.


Took 15 cuttings tonight
Needed to remove qlot of the smaller bottom growth
Figured may as well clone em

Also shit I think supercropped???
I went thru retied down my main branches
Then the ones that were still tall I pinched and bent over.
Dunno if I did that right

The pic with the plate is just a reference of the size

 

[hotrodharley]

Good job supercropping. You can shape the Hell out of them

Already having problems with my veg room.
It's too hot
Got to the 90's earlier.
So I'll put an ac in the window right? Wrong.
My smallest ac unit won't fit in this tiny prison esque window.
So I stacked a few boxes and put a pan to catch the run off and just put the AC in the room with it.
I don't know if this will work.
Hoping it will

Where's the heat going out the back?

 

[Prince Vegeta]

Where's the heat going out the back?

No it was just sitting in the room heating it up further.
Realised that was happening so I took and edged it against the window and put towels around the gap I had left.
Isn't a snug fit like I'd like
But it will work for now.
Think I'm just gonna get some caulk and caulk the ac into the window.
One pic is inside
The other is outside
The towel is visible on the left side of the window.

The sides of that ac slide off. Is it to tall or to wide?

 

[Prince Vegeta]

The sides of that ac slide off. Is it to tall or to wide?

Really?
It's less than q half an inch too tall
Have an inch on the side to spare

 

[Prince Vegeta]

This am I checked veg room is 75 degrees
Happy with that

Falling into a groove now
Have 15 clones rooting
4 vegging
2 flowering
1 new bean going in with veg
Waiting on the 3 beans from a bank

The girl in flower is doing well
Fed plant #2 1.5 gallons ff nutes
At 3 ml 2 ml and 2 ml
Watered it over a 5 gal bucket
Tested my runoff
It was at 6.0 is that acceptable?

Hope plant 2 I'd female or gonna be salty over the wasted nutrients.
With tax money I'm going to buy a full line of nutes
I'd like to go full organic but I just do not have the cash flow for that

 

[Prince Vegeta]

Always with the posting fang.....


Hotrod I bought a ppm meter today
Should be here by Saturday

Also ordered my ducting for flower room
And some perlite to get started on my stockpile for soil
The dwc bucket is an experiment that's all

 

[Prince Vegeta]

New plan
Going to make my flower room onto a sealed room rather than run an exhaust thru the wall

The ac unit it doesn't make sense not to as far as I can see

I'll be able to add co2 maybe to increase
I just got finished using can foam around the ac unit to seal it in
Then I made a large plastic door for both sides of the door larger than the frame.
It's 8 heavy duty restaurant dish pit trash bags
Taped them together with medical tape ( it was big and what o had)
You can clearly see the room sucking in the bags.

I took some screws and cardboard squares and screwed the plastic sheet up on the inside
Putting a screw about every 9-12 inches
I put cardboard squares between the screw head and the plastic to keep it from being ripped out.
Then I got some guerrilla tape and taped it up even more so it's totally sealed other than the bottom of the door.
All I can do about that is I have a little overhang so it will have to pull thru a lotta plastic before it can suck in any air or light.

The pic of the blank wall is where im going to hang my fan and filter
Just going to scrub and recycle the air inside the room since heat isn't an issue at all
The humidity in it as of now is mod50's
Tomorrow I am switching lights and rooms fuckitall

 

[Prince Vegeta]

So can't do a sealed environment
No where near the money for all that lol
But I did switch the rooms
Got the fan and filter hooked up hooking up the dryer vent to vent out the warm air tomorrow
Although at this point i dont think I really NEED that.

Watered with just water tonight

She is getting HUGE
Retied the UNtied some of the side branchs untied em cause fucking I'm done
Letting her grow

Having some issues with her clones
They are in 3 gal bags outside to get some strength to them
Just slow going.
Is MY fault as the dirt they are in is crapola

The 15 cuttings I took the other night are still in the pellets
Haven't actually checked to see when i cut em but know it's not been 7 days even yet so just ignoring them other than making sure my tray gets changed


I took the fan out of the part and after 2 hours it was still just in the mid 80s
Since it's veg I'm leaving it
When I can afford a small fan I'm just going to cram one against the whole in the ceiling to draw out the hot air from the top
I don't think I need an actual powerful fan.
Just something to pull some of the hotter air out during the heat of the day

Don't think I'll be using co2 this run either as I still need to learn a lot more.

 

[Prince Vegeta]

Have my bro coming over today to hook up a dryer vent in my wall
But It is going to be during lights out.
So im going to put trash bags over the girls

Without some type of ventilation in the vegging I'ma have to shut it down.
Temps hitting 93 with the removal of the large fan.
But I needed it to scrub the flower room.
Going to be vegging guerilla style in my backyard for now.

Had my other handyman look at my ac unit.
It's been spraying some water into my room a little
I'm not comfortable with that.
So tonight I'm going to take the metal window frame off
And then put it in with a board over the top

 

[Prince Vegeta]

Muthafreakin saweet
Got email confirmation feom single seed center
Ordered feminised
White widow
Zombie death tuck
And girl scout cookies
I only got 1 of each cause i wasnt willing to lose more than 30 bucks in the mail

So if these turn Out to be legit
I'm good

Also have a few coming from a friend on here

I'm actually more excited for those than the tssc beans
Mainly because its someone's personal gear and I can conversate with them about the ins and outs of the genetics.
Today was a good day



Yesterday plant #2 showed her pistols as well
So currently have 2 completely different strains so going to look forward to having more than one flavor


Plant 1 is let loose from the ties
I think i shouldhave left some on it
Its so thick there's no way lightsgonna penetrate
Will probably eerie her tonight
At least the main 6 branches anyways

 

[Prince Vegeta]

I cant remember how late I can take cuttings into flowering
I'm at 13 days
Thinking about cutting out a lot of myunderbrush because its such a jungle there's no daylights gonna penetrate
Also i have a LOT of tiny branches
2 foot long thin stems
I think i need to trim them out
Since I'm gonma tr I m them I figure i might as well clone what i trim out.

The dwc clone is doing GREAT thanks to my sensei hotrod Harley

Like seriously in comparison to the other clones I took the same day its just no comparison
Looming forward to dunno g the buckets with the other strains when i get them
Buckets side by side with my soil till i eventually hopefully phase out the soil
But that's gonna be awhile still

 

[Prince Vegeta]

Took both girls out to get pictures of them without the yellow from the hid

Plant #1 is a bush just under 24 inches tall but 30 inches wide

Plant #2 is very close in height but no where near as filled out

Plant 2 has small bids developing nicely

Plant #1 seems to be a little slower
But has many small sites where you can see the buds will be
Looking into defoliation or other methods of thinning out the lower branches on #1.
Took cuttings from both plants
A few nights ago
Going to take a few more and pit them to the side

Only running these till my package gets here and I am able to grow I'm SURE much better quality smoke.

I am very low on bloom nutes.
Ran fox farm this cycle
But I'd like to know if anyone has any suggestions on better nite lineup?
Next time I'm getting full line from whichever one i do select
Even if it's ff again.
Any input would be appreciated


Fed plant 2 nutes followed ff feeding schedule week 2
3-2-2

What should I look into as far as bud enhancers? Or flavor or trich enhancers
Sugars things of that nature? I can drop another 30 on the ol cc this Thursday to order it


Waiting on a 4 inch inline fan for veg room ventilation
As well as my azos
Found a store a few towns over that carries fox farm soil so for now the plan is to run that again as I get more comfortable with the dwc

 

[Prince Vegeta]

I have freaking spider mites.
Was watering tonight and saw the webbing around the base of the taller plant
Started looking under leaves and lots more .
Really bummed
Getting a loan from work tomorrow so I can order mighty wash and a hand sprayer
Really bummed bro
At myself for not being prepared for this and that I have to let it go for another week before i can contain it.
About to go check my readings on the bucket.
It looks absolutely amazing

How difficult would it be to do a perpetual harvest in hydro?
What style and method would be best for say
3 mother plants ( they would be in my bubble boy bubble buckets)

Ill be taking 12 cuttings from the 3 moms
4 from each mom.

So would need a veg setup to sustain 12 in veg
For 4-6 weeks they will be marching down the line 2 weeks in ea h phase of the veg before moving to another room for flower.

This is where I'm stumped.
Ill need to have 12 in flower as well
But only have 1. 1000 watt light
Will that cover that many plants?

How will I transfer 4 plants from veg to flower every 2 weeks?
What type of system would i need.

A out to go take t the last 15 cuttings from these 2 plants.

Watered 2 gallons of PhD water tonight


Humidity during the plants night cycle is still sometimes up to 63% its just freaking humid where I live.
Once i have a good perpetual going ill invest in a dehumidifier
Temps are steady 79 -81 night and day

That's about all really

 

[Prince Vegeta]

Took 20 cuttings today since i was clearing out some of the underbrush
Hate throwing things away lol

Used Azos for cloning per instructions
1-2 ratio for root liquid
Let my pellets soak for ten mins in a mixture of azos and 6.0 water
Put 9 from #1 and 9 from #2 in pellets

 

[Prince Vegeta]

Took one of the cuttings from the 11th
Looked for roots
Found some baby nubins yay

Still have the mites the predator insects are sue for arrival soon
Hope the 1000 I got is enough.

I took out a lot of the undergrowth and tiny stuff from the bottom.

Last night they were all looking good.

Will most likely have to water tonight will be week 3 feeding per fox farms.

Cuttings in azos are too young still have then in a milk crate under a 23 watt cfl

Waiting on some beans .

Installed a small r inch inline fan in veg room.
Light there is no longer air cooled.
But i don't have the necessary adapters to connect the 4 inch fan to the 6 inch port on the light hood.

Currently in flower.
B.s.#1 monster is getting close to 4 feet tall has me nervous

B.s.#2 really tall going to have to drop it off of the pallet its stretched close to a foot taller than bs1.

Clone from b.s.1 in dwc bucket changed reservoir 2 days ago to week 3 schedule per the canna grow schedule did the customised schedule
Have a side convo going with my teacher going on with that so dont really post about it. Its SMASHING her sisters in soil that ate same age tho.
2x the everything.

2 bs1 clones in 3 gal bags. Vegged close to 2 weeks outdoor a
The soil they are in tho...... Not good.

I'd really like to eventually switch overto a complete hydro system but that is at least a year away.

Found a store about 40 miles away that sells fox farms soil.

Guess I'm going to go get that

I cant find the soils suggested to me in my area so have had to go with what's available

That's what I should be titled this lol

1. Starting cuttings and seeds in peat pellets. (11ish days)
2. Then into solo cups with azos and mykos sprinkled once have roots visible in bottom of tray when I lift n look.(11 days?)
3. Then into polar pop cups again with mycos and azos.(thinking 2 weeks)
4. Into their final 3 gal bags. Straight into flower
Eventually I'd like a perpetual running 3-4 strains just going off cuttings from the mothers till i flower them out and switch strains.
May need to tone this all down I'm not sure

Any ideas welcome


Another bag seed I had planted later than these I just topped a bit ago. Its been outside for a bit
When I topped it I tried the method where I popped out the new top with a toothpick.
Well now it's growing of my instead of both nodes being even one branch decided it wanted to grow an inch taller than the other nodes. Is weird looking to me but my post about it says for me to stop worrying about it
