Na, I got those indoors under a screen. 12/12 lighting so they will finish once the green house starts to bud.
This way if the patient I been supplying doesn't re-up I'm still legal. Besides, I always to compare the sun vs indoor lighting in regards to taste and potency.

Girls are on hygrozyme this week, I been alternating between that and nutes. Been adding my nutes or supplements to the res at the beginning of the week and letting it go, it takes about three days (6 waterings) to flush through. got them at 5 min morning and 5 min evenings.

Picked up about 4 inches of growth this week. starting to tie back the secondary branches now.
Figure I will top those late this week to slow them down.

Scored an awesome camper shell for the truck today. New would have cost me $1300 easy, found one on craigslist that has been in covered storage for the last 8 years. Like new $450. and it was made for my truck. So now I am ready to go camping next week.

Happy 4th of July everybody! bongsmilie

Right on, Thanks man.

wish there was a craigs list over here, seems like there's never ending bargains to be had.
Ask and you shall receive. :wink:


Hit the girls with AzaMax today. I haven't seen any insects I just want to keep it that way. Saving the big guns for later.
Took the home depot hauler to the Depot today. I got a couple casters for the plants in the center, so thats good...
I also found out even with a shell you need to tie shit down, I lost a 4x8 sheet of ply on the freeway. whoops.

Oh well, the casters seem to work on the brick alright.

OK, well here is an update on the clones, I'm trying a different medium. oasis cubes. took some a couple weeks ago the more about a week later. I found they dry out much faster the anything else I tried. Like one day and they need water. I killed about half of the first batch that way so I had some 4" pots I filled with soil and put them all in those. Now they stay damp for a couple days.











The two on the right that seem further along had the recommended amount of clonex, the rest was half strength and pHed to 6.4 (I run most everything at half strength) but the tips of those two are also burnt.

So, what I've learned is first, I separated the cubes. I assume it would retain water better if you kept them together and second to use half strength nutrients PH 6.4

In light of the recent news of the government actions towards caregivers I will keep my plant count at 6 flowering or 12 vegging so all of these and that Mazar in the greenhouse will go to my patient and that's the end of that.

New guy here to the thread and I'll chime in with everyone else and say that the cab's and the GH journals have been an amazing read. Not only that but everyone gets along so damded well in here. Anyway, I just caught up to date today and had a pic for ya from something that I saw in Japan a few years back. The gardens there are amazing. It's a scrog and I thought you might want to consider a couple of things about it given how you like to build and modify. Anyway, if ya look at the pic closely with the two levels of bamboo to make the grid and their spacing...it might be something for you to consider when training your plants into the grid. It just seems like the thickness of the bamboo in lieu of wire and the greater spacing would be more forgiving when bending a plant at the scale you are working with now in the greenhouse. Plus, they would probably collapse (accordian? :hug:) and store away easy when you didn't need them.

I have no experience like all of you do and I'm not sure if what I'm posting is even practical...but I thought it was something that might interest ya. This is my first post on the boards...so hopefully I won't screw it up getting the pic to upload.

Thanks for the welcome lonestand. I checked the pic...but the upload downsized it a bit much. So here's a new one that I cropped and downsized. Hopefully it will be more useful.

Sweet. Took me a couple tries but I think I got it down.

Hi Willburr, welcome to my journal and thanks for the input. I looked at the pic you posted and yep, that's what I'm shooting for but a thicker canopy. Maybe some bamboo could help up top... Actually, now that you mention it I do remember reading a journal here where the guy used bamboo on chains inside a cabinet. He used two levels also if I remember correctly. Well, so far so good with the screen, I'm not weaving, just tying back and yes, it's a lot of ties. I'll be topping soon.

Oh, by the way, Welcome to Rollitup.

OK,
Girls topped and fed, that will hold them the rest of the week. Trucks loaded up and we are taking off tomorrow to the lake, gonna be gone for a week. I got my bud to come over and water the girls in the cabs and keep an eye on things while we are gone. They got wi-fi at the marina and i'm bringing a small Acer so I may be able to post but next update on the grow will be in about week.
