My cabinet grow journal!

[1982grower]

Somebody on here a long time ago that they don't make 125 watt cfl for regular socket. they make 125s and 200watt cfls for reg sockets. they are made by sunblaster and cost 70 dollars canadian for 125 watt and 100 for the 200. the 200 watt is about the size of a faygo bottle. Just letting him know incase he wants to try them. let me know if you want pics of the bulbs . i've used them and they are comparable to similar wattage t5ho.

Thanks man, but i don't use the cfl's anymore, except for the veg cabinet.

OOhh, almost forgot about that little accident. That sucks cuz i know its not cheap for me. Factor in driving, and the cost. I treat it like gold!!LOL!!
Thanks for checkin in beech!

Yea,60bucks total 20shipping i got a 32oz this time cause the damn little bottles are easily spilled!!As you know i live in the sticks and cant drive and get it for less than 20,it would be a 2 hr trip,but damn 20 bucks seems high!!This should last a long time.

I feel ya beech, gotta drive about 25 minutes to get my supplies, or 45 the other direction..LOL!!!

Forgot to tell about the updates in the room...
Hooked up my 6" inline to some dryer duct in the room yesterday. Temps were way too hot, like mid 80's, but i caught it in time to fix it. Went back today and found temps right at a cool 76 degrees farenheit. Hopefully my temps wont get out of hand this summer, due to underground op., but if it does i have access to run A/C Duct to the room if needed.
WW is swelled up now in her 7th week of flower. Beech with the G i used, you think i'll be looking at harvesting her sooner than i planned? I hear they take a few extra weeks, but i see lots of amber trichs already and they are swelled nicely as mentioned. Think i should ket them go awhile longer? Alot of white hairs still, but its white widow, so if figure they should still be white..........you know me!!LOL!!!

I have not used it on the WW strians YET,I still havent got mine.Twisted i think only flowered the Matas like 38 days and loves his,it does take only 6 weeks for my BB and AK.I woudnt be surpized if it cuts weeks off,just watch the trics.I do have some WW crosses that im waiting for the G to get here so i can hit em.

 

[lilmafia513]

Well beech you know me, i gotta get lots of pics when i feel confused, so here they are!

My WW girl in her 7th week of flower. I think i wanna start her flush this weekend but not too sure. The trichs are looking right almost but i want the seeds like i talked about before,beech. Whatchya' think?
Where did Born go, he just dissappeared one day?

Yes there is alot of them........

 

[lilmafia513]

And we cant forget the PPP:

Pics 1-5 are the PPP runt in her 6th week flowering. She is still way underssized but she was a sog experiment, to get a feel for the shape and trimming.

Pics 6-12 are the PPP Bush. Did some tying to open up the thickness a bit, and i think it worked!!! Loko at the bud sites on that thing. She's like three weeks in flower and covered in bud sites. Now all getting great light coverage.

Also in these pics you see the rusty leaves..... OD on the Gravity. Fixed by a light flush.

 

[lilmafia513]

waiting on the WW to show me some seeds before i cut her down, but i think she only has one or two weeks left on her.

hey lilmafia, nice looking work. i need to go back and look how you seeded the ww. i've got some papaya going. hope to get a male out of the deal so i can get some seeds.

Well i sprouted in the paper towel method, and then moved to RW, or soil plugs, and then into soil. Or were you talking about getting seeds off the plant?

 

[kevin]

getting them off the plant

 

[lilmafia513]

i haven;t yet on the WW, last crop of bagseed i didn't know it happened untill after they were cut down. I dont mind much. Good to have them for backup. I hear they should be nearly all feminised since they wern't actually pollinated and forced produced.

 

[born2killspam]

Be careful with hermie seeds, the trait tends to get stronger each generation.. Sadly ALOT of bagseed is the result of this, and ppl keep growing them until the results are idiotically unreliable.. If you get too many females without selecting and shooting for feminization, then that adage about being too good to be true applies.. Eventually a crop will be entirely over-ridden with seeds that aren't worth a damn.. You're ready to get you some nice genetics.. I'm a Seedsman fan for his devotion to quality true-breeding genetics, and really fair prices.. Less than $5/seed is always nice.. I love his skunk#1.. Probably my all time fav..

Hey Born...there ya' are! Was wondering where you beeen. I'm just concerned with geetting some back ups from the WW. If thats all i get seeds from i'll be ok with that. Not alot just a few. I got the WW from a friend that only gave me one seed, now i'm fighting to keep a mother or continuous cycle of clones. I want to get the kush and NL going, but need to make sure i don't lose the WW strain in the process. I got The PPP cloned out and actually have a backup of PPP clones right now waiting to be moved around.
Tried Skunk #1 before, seeds from the same buddy, and didn't get them past seedling stage. They all wilted up and died on transplant, but got some superthrive now for that!LOL!!
Thanks Born!

Yea, I agree it needs some more time,if i was you i would push the WW atleast 2 weeks.I think you might be surprized at what can happen in just 2 weeks.

 

[born2killspam]

If its herming, then the line should be put to death.. Mystery seeds are not safe.. They can destroy entire crops before you realize there is anything wrong.. If your goal isn't producing feminized seeds chemically from mothers that resist pollen production, and you sex a bunch and find all XX seeds, then the responsible thing would be to destroy them..

 

[McNea]

he guys can spider mites hibernate, cause i figure i get them in my grow room by bringing in my outdoor stuff when its ready to dry and cure. Bringing this outdoor pot into the indoor grow room causes transfer of spider mites. But i don't use the grow room for like 4-5 months after this harvest. Nothing is growing moving or even breathing in that grow room for the 4-5 months, how do the spider mites survive? Dont they need plant matter to survuive?, Just had a come back of them and have no idea how they can survive with nothing. I sapray with a synthetic chemical called End All seems to be keeping them at bay, mabey all have to move grow room to another location

 

[born2killspam]

If its warm don't underestimate their persistence.. Only a couple need to survive, and there may be traces of food in there.. I don't think hibernation is the right term, but they can hang out.. Another possibility is a different source of infection..
A trick to kill mites in potted plants during winter though, is to just take it outside for an hour or so.. The mites will die before the plant even gets phased..
When the room is empty though, I'd bug-bomb it, and hose the place down with 5% bleach solution a few times..

Not surprised, i saw what Lucy and Crypto did with two more weeks....blew up and swelled up! Thats what im watching, the calyx to let them swell up more. I used the G so i'm guessing it should take off some flower time like you said. I think two weeks will be good, so i'll start flushing this today or tommorrow. She's gettin' thirsty!!
The WW only had one dose of G about two weeks ago i guess, so should i give her another dose with M the first flush
Thanks Beech!

Not really herming born, they didn't show the pollen pods or seed clusters like hermied plants. Just occasional seeds throughout the plant. Only got about three seeds off cryptonite and about five or six from Lucy. I want the WW to drop just a few for me so i can tuck them away for a rainy day.
Wanna move onto the Violator Kush and NL, and get those mothers stable and healthy. This way i have four strains to choose my grows from. I wanna do an entire cabinet of WW, then one of PPP, then NL, then VK. This way i have an alternating crop cycle of different strains available at different times. Like farmers alternate corn and beans in fields each year...just an idea!!

This time around there was no problem.. Maybe there won't be for quite a few generations, but you're playing russian roulette IMO..
