DoeEyed's Perpetual Grow Log

Nice Doe, I like your style. Eventually I am shooting for 100% organic and sustainable setup. 600ws would be key...... I want to start harvesting worm castings with some worm trays, and compost, and reuse. WOuld have to keep about 6 times the amount of soil for 1 run on hand but its doable. I would probably want to do some nutrients through flowering though.

Will this be the first time you have it all lit up? Any electrical work involved?

Here they are! Finally, getting to see them all in action. Yep, this is the first time I fired them all up. Did electrical this past winter, when I decided I would be upgrading lights. Ran two extra 20amp lines, just for the lights. Got a pair of 600's and one 400 on each line.

So there we are, my madness revealed! muaaa haaa haaa...

Looking absolutely awesome Doe

I would have trouble leaving that room

Looks great as usual! Would love to have enough room for a setup like yours

Hi Doe, I love, love, love your grow space... Its so very cool and unashamed....

But I do have a question about lighting schedules and darkness... How does it work with three different sized plants in the one area??... I am bloody fascinated... I am a segregator... I like to keep em closed off and covered away from the world, and each other so I can control everything about them... I am the dictator of my plants...lol..

What schedules do you run please?

Laceygirl...

Looking good Doe. I imagine your running everything at 110? Looking good. Sounds like you are running less that 75% load on those which is kickass. Hubby has got to be jealous of your play room now......

Hey Laceygirl, everyone is on the same schedule in that room, time wise - except one pair of lights comes on five minutes after the other, just so I don't have four of them all powering up at once! lol As this room is just for flowering - everyone is 12/12. As for age - I keep plants from the same grow, same age bracket, under a light together. If you see how I have the ducting, looks weird, but it means I can adjust each light individually for height. So - the oldest LS are under one light, LS clones under the next light, and now these guys (all the same grow) under the last two lights. When the Big LS come out, and that light is free, I'll throw those four clones under it. When the LS clones are finished, It'll be close to time to put the Chronic under. And so on. Probably wind up with a free light now and again, because with the planting time, I am allowing almost ten weeks for each batch to flower - you never know. lol I run my flowering lights from 7pm to 7am, helps the heat stay down a bit. Veg room is on from 4pm to noon.

Yep, 110. Yep, he's jealous. lol Gets all sad and pouty, if I can't find something for him to help with. lol

Hey girl, dropped by to check out your journal, didn't read all the way through though, she's a long 1. Very impressed with the upgrade. Jelous as hell actually lol.
Looks like you got it pretty well dialed in eh?
can't wait to see the progress

-hardroc

Hey thanks for stopping by! I try - always room for improvement, eh? Biggest fuckup I've done in awhile - realized this week I've been topping for six colas, instead of four, lost a lot of bud weight because of it.

wow i am impressed. i would die for that much space . i agree it would be hard to leave that room also the experimentation would never end . i think i would be like a mad scientist.

at least you have a helper, as long as you don't get mad at him. He smokes as well ?

lol, you guys... Yeah, wonder, he smokes too. As do my two oldest (who are both grown). They are my quality control team! hehe

lol...Sure cruzer, I think I could squeeze you in over there on the left...

No problems this week. Staring with my youngest, the Chronic - they are doing great! At eleven days old, I'm seeing the third node starting to come in. What a healthy, vibrant strain this is!

On to my little clones. New growth is happening, though I suspect they are working harder to put down even more roots. I still feel confidant that the four of them will make it.

I still have the little Super Lemon Haze in vegging. She looks so much better, after a short time in soil - considering how poorly she was doing, and having been topped. Since I cut her at the wrong place - I didn't want to cut her again, so instead, I pinched out the tiny bottom colas that were trying to grow in. Seemed like it would be less stressful. Definately seeing better color on her. Burnt out a bulb today - AgroMax 400w MH conversion. It's got a year warrenty though, and I had bought spares, so it's all good. We had a power flicker this morning - probably what did it. That and about five random outages in the past couple months, grrrr.

The big group is loving the HPS light. Seems they always perk right up, almost like they were craving that light spectrum. lol Took a pic of each strain, so you could see the progress better. In order from left to right: Bubba Kush, Power Kush, White Widow, Church, the top of the Train Wreck (hey she's in the middle! lol), Royal Kush, and Cheese.
The temps are under control - staying pretty steady around 78F, even with all four lights on. Yay air cooled hoods! Quite comfy in there, really - one could sit naked, provided one didn't mind the occassional pinch on the backside by a beetle. Or cruzer in his sleeping bag over there. lol

My Lemon Skunk clones are flowering nicely. I'm happy with the buds, for being four weeks in.

Lastly - ye ole' Lemon Skunk. I don't think the colas are getting any bigger. Again I'm kicking myself, for fucking up the topping. My own fault. Oh well - live and learn, eh? Getting hard to be patient now. I was up there checking them tonight, got right up in their buds, and told them bitches they were lucky to still be alive! lol

Now for the fun part - uploading a gazillion pics for you guys. Wake me when it's over!

Well well well Look at u go! Bubbleclonerz, ladybugs, 1000 new strains. Looks like u have room for my futon in that room??
Sorry, I hit unsubscribe due to stoned iPhone user-ness

lol...It's an 8" actually, that's my intake. Both my rooms happen to be above my dining room, where my big AC unit for the house is. So I put a hole right through the floor, in both rooms, into my downstairs ceiling. Their is an 8" inline fan in each one, drawing cool, fresh air into the rooms.

So - a bud looked at me funny. Had to get her! lol I chopped the oldest Lemon Skunk ladies last night. Had to give in and buy a dehumidifier today, with the warmer weather the humidity in my drying closet got up to 70%! Not acceptable - rather spend $150, than risk losing my crop to mold. Need it anyway, now that it's warmer - I'll put it in the flower room when I don't have buds drying. Kind of amazing - within 30 minutes of being in that closet, it dropped the humidity from the 70%, down to 40%! Also puts out a bit more heat than I thought it would. Oh well - always give and take with everything, isn't it?
So the largest colas from the "super" plant, lol - they are on that back hanger, you can see how much bigger they are than the rest of them. Crazy, huh?
