Ouch GKN, cut a brother some slack
Sorry fellas for the lack of updates. I'm still around, just hardly any time to do anything. Still working around 80 hrs per week and the last two weekends have been super busy with my 5 year anniversary and a couple of birthdays
The Mendo Purps grow is looking good, other than a little over fertilization problem I had. This strain has a much lower tolerance for nutes than the other strains I have grown. One plant is badly burned and the others show little to no signs of burn. I have to say though, this weed smells fantastic already. I have read a few things suggesting the Mendo Purps strain isn't worth growing, so far I have to disagree.
The new room is coming along nicely. I wanted to wait and put up pictures when it was 100% but just couldn't wait. Right now I need to finish the filtered intake system, wiring, and install the light fan and the regular vent fan, both of which are on backorder at the Hydro Shop. I'll have them by Thursday. The room has to be 100% by this weekend so I get these seedlings under some decent light, they are stretching mike mad right now.
Basically the room is going to consist of 2k of light, (2) 6" centrifugal fans for ventilation and for the lights, (1) 9500 BTU portable A/C to cool everything, (1) 8" cent. fan and charcoal filter to keep the smell down, and (2) 20lb CO2 bottles and regulator to keep the CO2 respectable. There is no room in my garage at the moment to get better pictures of the room. After I'm done I'll free up some space and get better photos.
Here is the "Super Soil" I made up. Been cooking in the sun for about a month now. It consists of 6 bags organic potting soil, 5lbs Blood Meal, 5lbs Bone Meal, 30lbs worm castings, 5lbs bat guano, dolomite lime, and epsom salts. I tried to follow the Subcool tutorial as closely as I could. Cannot find azomite though.
Here are the Jack the Ripper seedlings that came last week. I started them a couple of days ago. 100% germination in about 18-20 hours. Unfortunately they are stretching under these shitty CFL's. I'll have them under some better lighting by the end of the week, would rather they strech a little than go in my hot ass garage.
Also have 5 "Power Skunk" seeds germinating.
Have a look at the seedling on the right. There are three shoots coming from one seed. Is this normal? Should I cut all but the largest head?
