Well Here Goes

[Danielsgb]

I watered the 8 in the big pots. #7 is lagging behind. I have a home for her planned. I will be starting a new journal for it. They got 1tbs/gal Fish Emulsion today. I'm expecting a burst soon from that. The clones are doing ok so far. I'll get an update on those tomorrow. I'm going to pick up an old fridge to gut. Back soon.

I don't mean to piss you off, but your plants would be twice as big and healthy if you didn't keep over watering them. Let the soil dry. Plants grow the most with more o2. Im guessing you know this. Again not telling you this to piss you off, just an observance I think you can see in EVERY one of the pictures. Good Luck

I gotta quit taking the pics after I water them. Yea, in the beginning I had to get it dialed in. I wait to see the leaves drooping and soil is dry when I put a tongue depressor 4" deep. I got a slow start that's for sure. The clones I got were wounded. Thanks for the observation.

Here's my next project I was hinting at.

A Medicinal Refridgerator


Check it out and throw some comments.

#8 was curling leaves last week and I watched to see if it would get better. It was topped Sunday night. It looked OK Mon, Tue and got feed wend (I think) Today it's leaves are curled even more, and the new growth is curved weird. Any ideas? I'm thinking of flushing it with plain water. Too much light?

Classic heat/moisture stress, temp too high, light to close, humidity way off take your pick???

 

[Danielsgb]

I moved her to a low light area. The temps hit low 90's a bit and high 80's some last week. It was 13"-14" from the 400W MH. The humidity hasn't been over 30-35. I've got the temps holding in the mid to high 70's all week so hopefully she'll recover. Thanks

For my Medicinal Fridge I got the Remote Ballast with Timer and 120mm computer fan tested and wires organized. It'll work great. Tons of air flow. I used a weird plug for the connection to the bulb. I figured it'll keep any confusion cleared up
I went to Home Depot and got the stuff for the Cool Tube's Air System. I also got a piece of white waterproof board to cover the doors. I got the vent tubes together and used aluminum foil tape and clamps. I covered both ends of the Pyrex baking tube with the aluminum foil then got the 180 degree tube on then used a piece of coat hanger to hold the bulb socket where I wanted it. More aluminum foil tape then a clamp. I did a test and it'll fit perfectly.
What do you guys think. A 120mm comp fan be enough?
For the main exhaust I have a piece of 4" sewer pipe to run the exhaust from the top through a carbon filter then down, a 90 and out to where the compressor was. Then one more 90 and a fan. It will fit in front of both shelves and the freezer shelf.
How's it looking so far?

Well here's an update. They are all doing good. The 3 I topped UB style are taking off.
#8 has been under a CFL in the work area for a few days and seems to have stabilized. Some new growth poking out looks better. #7 Pepe will go into my next project. The clones are going slow. A leak in a aero-cloner line bombed 1 side. I saved 3 out of 4 in a cup with the stems in water. Some of the 18 for my caregiver are doing OK, some I've kept alive so we'll see.

Here's an update.
I up-canned the 3 I didn't top today. They are in their final pots. I'll do the other 3 in a couple days. Now I don't think all 6 will fit in their flowering chamber. Too many ladies. What a catastrophe. Luckily I have a new Medicinal Fridge that I've been working on for a week and a half. I'm doing the temp runs and I have a couple little things to do to finish. I'm thinking I'll leave Cleo #4 in here and put Nikki #3 and Isis #1 in the new fridge.
The Hippie Gardener up-canned #9 and she'll make a great mum (guess I should name her). The clones are coming along for my caregiver. I figure I'm at about 80 some percent. 5 of my 8 will be fine I'm sure. Think a buddy will plant a couple outdoors for fun. My veg table is looking less crowded. The 4 will go to 12/12 soon. How they lookin'?

I'm sub'd. Do u know the cfm on that fan. I guess u have the info in the med frig link I'll check it out too!

 

[Danielsgb]

I transplanted #4 Cleo and tonight is their first 12hr Dark time. The four are #4 10" #2 16" #5 17" #10 17" They are 17" to 13" from the 150W HPS lights. I'll drop them as they grow as that is as low as the hood goes.
I'm thrilled that they are so healthy. I'm hoping to get an Oz. from each. #1 Isis and #3 Nikki will move to the Medicinal Fridge soon. For now they are with #7,#8, & #9 on the veg table.

Well they got there 3rd night of 12hrs darkness. #2, #4, #5 and #10 have grown a good inch since the transplanting. On their next nute they get Alaska Morbloom 0-10-10. I'll get some pics next watering

Here's something on the Empress tree

You can't order them in some states. They spread by seed not suckers, but I guess they're too much for your lat. Up in MT with -20 winters it can't get obnoxious. I have a house in the north west MT so the years I was up there about this time was a morel freak-out.

They are showing some bud sites. There is no worry of a male. It will be one full flowering chamber.

Should have known better than mentioning the M@!# word. I got a Hermie. She/he is now canna-butter.
RIP #10 Three will still fill it.

Here's some pics of the 3 ladies. Starting to show a lot of white hairs. So is anyone still following this?

Here's some current pics of #2, #4, & #5. They got a 0-10-10 organic Morbloom tonight. They are thickening up and the light has to go up 4" to 6" in the morning. Their color is keeping deep green for the Indica I'm hoping for.
I have some clones Vegging for later, and some Mum's in my Veg area too. I have some cool DIY projects on my sig link if anyone is interested. I'd like to get a perpetual harvest going. Later
