Smacker’s irrational dream

Side note: I am having hell with one of my 10 burner autopilots (flower room 2) She fires, runs 2 flames and dies with dehus, ac and fans on or everything off. I can lightly blow air towards the igniter and sometimes it will open the valve and fire all 10. I’ve emailed them last week with no response yet. Any thoughts? These things are stupid expensive for what they are so I hope they send parts or another unit this week.

If you have the space, electricity and time, take clones and Pheno hunt. I tried pheno hunting but my grow is so small, I have to place all my bet on one card and if it fails, I have shit or no smoke for 2 months. I respect and encourage large farms to pheno for the smaller guys that cant afford to do it themselves. Thank you for showing us this amazing grow. You definitely have the dedication of growing.

Thanks for the kind words. We are cloning everything! I’m smelling 3 different phenos when we do a stem rub (Rosetta Stone). All three have a orange hand cleaner with pumas kinda chemical smell but one also has a kinda grapefruit twinge to it. Lol. I can’t wait to see what she does.

Everyone seems to be fairly happy so we will keep on keeping on. I topped the majority of the c99’s today an we trellised the Rosetta’s this weekend. I’m ready for next weekend so I can clean them up.

De leafing is in 3 days. I can’t wait to see up those skirts! I had some minor clawing on the tops of the plant(new growth) and have since moved the lights up and reduced the ppfd to 800. We are getting a beautiful stretch and they finally have some cotton balls.

The veg plants (c99) are looking great but I do have a few mutants which I didn’t expect. The node spacing for the majority of the plants are almost to tight so I’ve raised those lights also in hopes of creating some stretch.

I’ve got to leave town for a while and I’ll be turning the grow over to the wife so wish her luck. She helped build out and knows every valve, pump and schedule so I have faith she’ll keep us rocking.

Really great looking setup, I wish you the best in your new grow. The numbers you're talking about make my back twinge in sympathy. So many plants... I just couldn't do it. Thankfully I can follow along and see how it's done without all the back strain. It's awesome that you are doing this with your wife too. Mine would fire me on day one, she's scary lol.

Thanks guys! Our goal was to have the cleanest facility possible on a budget. I feel like we meet that goal and we were the first in our state to receive a micro license. I’m very proud of the work and sacrifices my family made to get us here. If I can just keep learning every day I’ll eventually get to the quality I expect us to be able to produce.
My wife thinks I’m nuts but she’s an amazingly supportive, dedicated and intelligent person. She’s also seen the positive affects cannabis has had on our family so her passion is as strong as mine.

I was only gone for the night so we spent the entire weekend getting some defoliation done. I’ll probably flip the c99’s next weekend. The Rosetta ladies are almost done defoliating. We have a little over half a row to finish tomorrow. The lights are about to go out and I wanted the room clean before their bedtime. We pulled almost 10 kitchen size trash bags off these girls today. All systems are working great. Rosetta is still getting a scheduled 3.0ec at 6.2ph, C99 is getting 2.7ec at 6.0ph. The new Leader pumps are freaking awesome. Much quieter than the old HF pumps.

I loved the under canopy shot, cool picture. Really looking nice, I can't wait to see the buds start stacking for you.

Looking good man!... great light coverage!

Thanks brother. I’m very pleased so far with the lights. They are Eaglestar esm10000’s or some odd ass designation. They are the exact lights as medic grow ez8’s. 1000 watts of bliss. My clawing stopped after I raised the lights and I’ve been inching up the output every day so I’m up to 650 watts and 840 ppfd currently.

Thanks brother. I love the up skirt shots. Lol. I’ll take some upper pictures tomorrow, they were praying hard when the lights went off. We have some decent Cotten balls building up and a glimmer of what’s to come start to build on the sugar leaves.

I can imagine the mix of excitement and stress you must be going through as you get started on this grow. You should grow a couple really heavy indicas on the side to help you get some sleep lol.

The wife suggested something similar last night as we went to bed. We both have full time careers that are not on a set hourly schedule so we have been running on empty for a while.
