Day 6 - Ready for Flight

1. Midnight Cowboy 2. Gold Star x Snow Lotus
3. Cement Shoes 4. Meat Breath x MM F5

Wings open! Heat mat at 78°, seedling pad kept moist, dome on to keep humidity around a constant 65-70% until second node develops.

Cs is lagging ~ they've all been given the same water, soil, treatment and environment.. Just gonna let it ride out and do its thing.

Controller 67 by AC Infinity
What an awesome controller! It pairs with an app via bluetooth and allows users to set customizable schedules; wake up, afternoon, sleep ect. Such a sweet treat after manually adjusting humidity and temp levels morning and night. Definitely recommend.

Day 21
Transplanted today! They went into soil that was prepared a few weeks ago. Soil was first placed inside 1 gal pots with a small pot to create a nice and easy transplant.

Added 1 teaspoon veg mix on both bottom and top layers of the pot. (Veg mix: 2 pts blood, 2 N guano, 1 neem, 1 oyster shell .5 alfalfa & .5 kelp)

Then dusted with mycos and microbes.

Midnight Cowboy ready to stretch (her) legs.

Looks like there were some worm eggs in the compost

Ready to be placed back into the tent with the other gals.

Before going back in, compost and mulch top off the pots to keep microbes wet n active.

A few hours later.. 77°f, ~58%r/h (same placement)

Happy growing :blsmoke:

Day 30 veg
Stretching out in the 1gal pots. Cs is catching up; def have a cs runt that will be going into a dwc bucket once roots are big enough.

(Same order as before)

Soil picked up from garden store came with gnats. Thought cooking soil in the sun would kill em, but naw. March was too cool perhaps. A few days in the tent they started to emerge from the mulch. They were given some microbelift bti and set sticky traps for adults. Already seeing less fliers within a few days time.

Day 33
Slow growin' ~ ain't got nothing but time :blsmoke:

The copper wires are connected to tent stakes in each pot, leading out to a homemade ground outside with the intention of creating a channel for electrons to flow. No adverse effects with plants to be noticed; although it feels pretty conductive with all the copper wire exposed around the tent poles, especially if wet.

The project may/maynot get unplugged until a setup more appropriate for only one or a few ground wires is attained, like a raised bed or larger 30gal containers..

thanks for stopping by :peace:

Day 39 - veg
The plants are starting to show maturity; meatbeat is looking all male and 2/3 looking female midnight cowboy. Gs x sl hasn't shown yet but the two cement shoes are knowingly fem.

An interesting coloured leaf on the gold star x snow lotus f2.

New boards came in ~ went with 2- meijiu 240w Folux X1, 3000k lm301b w/ 660nm O̶s̶r̶a̶m̶ diodes. Sitting in center is an older geeklight 240w monster board, 3000k lm301h w/ 660nm cree and 730nm cree & 395nm lg on independent switches.

A view of the rest of the family.

Day 42

It's now looking like 1/3 females for both midnight cowboy and meat breath x mm f5. Presumed females are sitting right side of the lineup.

Topped crop 4/8/21

Current light position

k0rps · Apr 16, 2021

Day 45
The LEDs have been rockin' the space. The T5s were doing well, especially for light spread.. but growth time has definitely picked up since installing the boards.

Original plan was to place the runt cs into dwc. Instead, it resides in coco for dtw. Transplanting other females to 5gal pots in a couple days, keeping males in 1gal pots for easy travel.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Day:78-82°/60-70%, Night:~70-73°/68%
2 Midnight cowboy, pai gow, cement shoes & gold lotus f2 transferred over to the 2x2 starter tent w/ square heat mat to veg another week or so before transplanting to 5gal.

Day:76-84°/65-73%, Night: 73-76°/60-61%
5x5 tent is day 3 of 12/12, with a couple that have been flowering for a few weeks already; gmt 1&2 on the right and chocolate mint og up front.

The mint og stress flowered in low light/small pot, then revegged with too much condensed growth. Went through and cut some of the growth underneath the canopy, but will need some more soon.

The two meat breath x mm f5 plants are showing sex more each day in 12/12. Still looking like 1 female & 1 male.. should show fully within the next week, then will take cuts.
Mb x mm

& here's the other

k0rps · Apr 22, 2021

Reorganized and opened the GMT with bamboo stakes. Lots of nitrogen mixed into the soil, too much. Plants were given their normal watering with some humic acid added and she showed signs of nitrogen toxicity within a couple days. Droppy leaves with slight burned tips. Have since been watering to runoff, adjusting ph to 6.4 with activated EM1.

Cleaned the rest of the bottoms leaving some of the fan leaves for plants to use.

Looking forward to the bloom ~ :peace:

k0rps · Apr 26, 2021

Day 8 ~ Flower
The meat breath x both have lower bawls and pistils from the tops. Will remove them once they're bigger/easier to pluck. "Stress testing" (dont have enough room) a few plants in 1gal.

Setup the blumat drippers yesterday. Getting them dialed within the next couple days. Scooped in a teaspoon of craft blend under the drippers along with ewc below the new mulch layer.

The redwood bark wasnt workin out keeping the soil tops moist. So, went to the feed store and picked up a bale of straw. Now have a bench to sit on outside and plenty of mulch. :blsmoke:

k0rps · Apr 27, 2021

Day 9 - Flower
A fool-house loaded with 9 5gal, 3 3gal and some extras in 1gal pots. 5gal pots are connected to blumat drippers and the rest will be hand watered. Let's see how this goes!

1. Vietnamese x Afghan
2, 4, 5. Gg Luigi
3, 6. Grand Master Tahoe
7. Midnight Cowboy
8. Gold Lotus f2
9. Pai gow
10, 11. Meat Breath x Mm f5

Happy growing!
:peace:

k0rps · Apr 30, 2021

Day 12 - flower

There's some stretch monsters in the tent for sure, particularly the gg luigi front left. They're actually old clones from dec, kept in small pots for most their life until flower. Once flipped and it was trimmed up from the bottoms, it shot right up.

Hope you are having a good one! :peace:

k0rps · May 3, 2021

Day 15 - Flower

meat breath x mm f5

Vietnamese x Afghan

Grape Grail aka gg luigi

Gonna be training and cleaning up soon, maybe mid to next week, bring humidity levels down. Diggin where they're at now tho :cool:

80-84°, 68-70% day down to 73-75°, 60-61% at night. Raised the lights a few inches and intensity to 90% after being at 75% for about a week.

Using this Midnight Cowboy to chuck some pollen.

The greasy stems smell repulsive like a skunky, dirty wet sponge. On top hints of floral like rose. Really like the leaf n plant structure too.

Day 17 - Flower
Just about to go to sleep for the night. On a 11/13off schedule. They were hungry, gave em some stakes.

Staking the rest soon

These meaty gals will soon get what they crave.. more light!

Another 240w 3000k board getting here in about a week from a different supplier. Thought 3 boards would be enough coverage, maybe it could work, but these ladies want more light.
