2k Watt Coco Blend ScROG- Multi Strain Grow

[Ibex]

I was going for discreet in deciding my location for my ballasts. They are in my living room and I will say this, I use a digital antennae to get the football games in HD (I dont have cable) and when the ballasts kick on I have to move the antennea about 8 feet farther away then it normally is. I dont know if this is an all digital ballast thing, I know they do have some RF shielding but I guess at 2200watts (overdrive setting) not enough to be unnoticeable.

So some real colorado problems, everytime I have to do anything with my plants, like tying up colas, I feel it would be less sticky to just rub my hands in glue first than deal with the sticky buds. But gotta take the good with the bad, eh? Pardon the black strings they are from the ratchet hangers.

I grew 2 clones of the qleaner last run for the first time and didnt lst or scrog them and each main cola weighed 14+ (not by much) grams dry. I am hoping to replicate that x7.

Not that I know of. It may have been a persons cross just playing around at one point in time, I got it as a clone cutting and its been around my CO location for about 3 years (its been around since I have lived here) or longer.

Thanks GPD, hope I can keep ya entertained.

If its not a security concern, ie hiding it from guests, maybe a shelf on the wall with drywall anchors will make storing of the nutes "neater". I think it adds a cool wow (mini laboratory) factor bc even in colorado many of my friends have no idea what goes on behind the scenes.

Here is my little work area, I write different variations of nute mix ups on my mirror in dry erase marker so I dont have to trial and error it each time I water to remember what I gave them last week. Looks like a crazy persons house? Slightly, but it makes real stoned watering real easy and error free.

yeah we don't tell anyone. i wish it weren't a concern but it's not legal here and prob won't be for a while. lame. LOL @ stoned watering... i had to do that two nights ago. hate that! haha. that shelf is actually a really good idea for (what we call) the weed room! right now theyre in a 3 gal bucket inside a big rubbermaid tub in the cloest of the weed room. not a big deal but pretty annoying to have to tinker w all that twice a week. i think i'll have the Mister do that tonight!

DUDE YOUR BALLASTS. lol! that's also a good idea... perhaps i will also run that by my boo and see if he's down to put it up.

There's a different kind of watering other than stoned watering??

Thanks, its come a long way. Im excited to run the blue ox's and then we are picking a new better suited spot.

Well, the qleaner and the blackberry are opposite ends of most categories, besides sharing a fruit scent but even thats quite different.

Qleaner- sativa
Lemon, acidic, cleaning product, like smelling a new bottle of pinesole full huff.

Dense long colas, short duck like feet leaves on the colas, will grow caylx's on the fan leaf centers, this is apparently very rare.

1/2 of two clones turned a beautiful dark amber almost, the other had a wonderful yellowing of fan leaves very uniformly I am thinking this is to a differing proximity to the uninsulated window last run.

Yield is the biggest in my fleet currently

Blackberry- Indica
Berry, like sticking your face in a bag of fruitloops or blueberry mini frosted wheats.

Golf ball like nugs, will form a decent cola when aged long enough and/or the 7gal pot prob didnt hurt. Fat dense individual branch node nugs

Looks like someone exploded glass all over it with how crystally it is. Plant turns solid black under almost all temp conditions day and note as my friends have this cut too.

Easily the most requested buds

Yeild is medium, working on improving through different methods.

That being said, blackberry is my favorite plant, its just not the most from an economical standpoint

i think i'll have the Mister do that tonight!

DUDE YOUR BALLASTS. lol! that's also a good idea... perhaps i will also run that by my boo and see if he's down to put it up.

Dont forget to use drywall anchors! Ive learned that the hardway before too

Thanks, all digis (that I know of) can be mounted horizontal or vertical, just not in an attic. If they are air cooled make sure they dont exhaust onto each other, mine are not so they just need to be 6" apart.

All of these photos are unedited bc I am using my phone and dont have a photo editing program. Maybe I should start water marking them? Who knows.

Once again, its so tight in there its hard to get a picture and the one bulb in there is just so I can see to spray things, the other lights are the HID's.
I tried, you can see the Qleaner colas all being tied up, not a bad sign at all. Still have a few weeks left as it goes a full 70 days.

The darkness is upon us

Can't wait to see the dry weight! I've been using high ph water.. Lack of time and resources for now.. Never thought it would stun yy plants after only 2-3 waterings.. My "veins" are looking just as pronounced as yours does in the 3rd pic, except yours is supposed to look like that lol.
Keep up the good work.

damn grosse a ph kit is only like 7 bones man

 

[Grosse Pointe Dank]

Yeah :/ I gotta be able to go to the store thought, work as slammed me this week. Soon enlighten I hope it doesn't slow them too badly.

My bluelab was about $200

Ive had a few different meters though, the cheapish ones will work but make sure you calibrate/check it against a standard solution before trusting it too much.

Sorry about the lake of updates, I have been out of the state for the last few days doing family things. The plants are under the care of a friend.

The blackberry and bubblegum are being flushed currently and the qleaner is set to flush this upcoming week when I return home.

I LOVE my bluelab! could have sworn mine was only $100 though. It does temp+pH, is yours the same or fancier?

I dropped 3k that day so its hard to remember what cost what

I just meant the little manual test kits(indicator+up and down) are really affordable and get the job done right. Just sayin Grosse (if youre really in need that bad pm me your address! youll owe me one though )

Can't wait to see the updates though Ibex, hope you had a good time with your family!

Heres an ebay link for $150, maybe that was closer to what I paid then $200

Yeah it adds up for sure but buy good equipment and buy it once. I am picking up a dehumi after this next cycle (any suggestions for models?) and adding co2. I cant expand till I move since I am right at my safe power pull.

3 more hours till I get to see the flower plants for the first time in little over a week

The blackberry never ceases to be short of amazing looking at the end of harvest. Its got a few more days to go and then will come down.

The Ox have grown quite a bit in my absence and are itching to get into the flower room. They only have about 2 weeks to go before they move in full time.

Like I said, I literally have no room for any more plants right now
