Double the fun 4th lazy grow in MA

For this run a second 315 CMH is on the way. It should arrive on Monday this should help fill the 5x5 tent with plenty of light. Using the same soil Stonington Blend. Tapwater of 7 Ph. 2.5 gal plastic grow bags. Strains for this run are Bubblegum, Purple Lamborghini, Grape Ape,Big City Lights, White Widow x Banana OG and 2 Purp Aliens x unknown. Clones are Querkle, Cookies and Cream. WW and 3 Alien phenos. Shopped last night for the next run of seeds. Grape Ape, Lemon Haze, Durango OG, Lemon Alien, Forum Cookies S1, Galactic Glue. Northern lights. Still looking at Some Western Winds/ Kali Mist, Thai or other Haze variety for a sativa run. It is driving me crazy watching the new 315 slowly make it's way around the country. Next time I will have it shipped 2 day. Bought a 25 site clone king , thing works great, Massive pile of roots on the clones with just tap water in 14 days. I have it under a 200 watt cfl that I use on seedlings.

ok just ordered the Western Winds/Kali Mist, Purple Trainwreck, C99xBlueberry, and a bunch of fem freebies. I still need to find a Thai or GTH to run also.

Ok new light arrived. This one is a cheaper 315 from a hydro store. $3oo vs the $530 for the Sun System. It uses the Sun System reflector but a prism lighting ballast. Will see how long it lasts. just threw it in the tent to get it fired up. The girls are really happy now.. Will move the girls out this weekend and set the light up properly. Same Phillips bulbs 3100K.

Kids were moved out this morning and both lights were rehung. All clones were cleaned up of all lower growth. Everyone seems really happy, plenty of light now. Have more Alien and C&C clones going to replace any males that pop up after flip.

Kids are happy. Next week the average height will be around 14-16". Will flip the light schedule next Saturday to 12-12. New Years Eve will start the flower countdown. Seeing a few male lobster claws using my eye loupe. I'm loving the double 315 cmh lamps. Wife hasn't had to run the heat in her office which shares space with the tent since I got the 2nd 315.

The kids seem real happy. Chopped 4 males, 1 female of Bubblegum, 1 Grape Ape and 1 Purple Lambo, Big City Lights haven't shown anything yet, with 4 more unknown. Clones are doing good. ETA for chop is March 1st.

How do you like the cmh vs hps

Good. 315 CMH is all i use now from seed to flower. Great spectrum

Girls seem happy. Chopped 9 males. Up potted 1 female of each strain from seed to 5 gal fabric bags. Might run out of head room on this run, we will see how the stretch goes.

New 14X eye loupe arrived today, it replaces a 25 yr old 8X one. 14 days into 12/12 the first girl to show 1st frost , and coloration is the Big City Lights. night temps are still around 70 F.

Girls seem happy. Started to get ph problems. Checked tapwater and it's in the upper 7 ph range now, so adjusting down and adding cal-mag. Plants are responding well to adjustments. Lights were raised almost to the top of the tent. Have maybe 6 more inches more left.

GTH is one ive been curious about for a while. Its got wicked reviews on leafly.

Girls are ok. I still haven't solved my low N/hi ph h2o/soil issue, but still working on it..

The girls are good, starting to really stink the house up when the filter is off. The bubblegum has no smell at all. The Grape Ape is straight up grape. It's so strong you can almost taste the smell of the buds. Purple lambs have a spicy smell to them. The C&C and Pakos (purple alien knock offs) have a strong intoxicating smell. Looks like the femmed pako is going to run a lot longer than some of the other strains. Everything still has an estimated 6 weeks left. Have been looking for a new 5x5 tent, can't decide which one would be best. Not many good choices.I have also been looking at soils and it seems like the price of organic soil has been jacked up.

Plants look good! Learn about recycling your soil. Not much to it just need a few soil amendments, minerals, and compost. Add aeration (perlite or pumice, etc) and let it set for 30 days. Your mix gets even better every time you recycle it. Organic soil is going up because so many are switching to organics and soil takes time to make and is heavy to ship. Re-use what you already have; soil never goes bad.

Living in a 1 bedroom condo doesn't leave me any room to recycle soil. Tent has already taken over bedroom.
