Looking good, man. As usual. What strain(s) are these girls? And the shorty on the right has me curious about her story...

Glad to see the cab is still treating you well. Good luck on this run, peace
Hey Puff! Thanks for stopping by:) How are you doing these days?

So, all of the girls are "GrinLife" bastard children (accidental Bodhi Tree of Life late late flower hermie x Dr. Grinspoon fem). I got a lot of seeds, and so far they have been 100% female.....10 plants I think. The smoke is really strong and tasty, and I really like it a lot. Not bad for free, that's for sure :)

They were all topped at the first node above the cots, but the two on the left powered through it like nothing happened, and for some reason the one on the right went crazy and bushed out all on its own like that...I've really been hands off this time-pretty busy with new projects at work. I'm not totally convinced these girls do better with or without topping though, so I think it's a good thing.

So far the cabinet is doing well, though I did have to replace the HyperFan 8 inch. I got a new HyperFan, but went with the 6 inch model, and it's working pretty well so far. We'll see on that thing!!

Hello RIU peoples :) I hope you're all doing well!!!!

The garden is still coming along. The plants are small and the yield will be low.......... turned out my timers drifted too far in time and the 730 was turning off about 10secs before the lights....hah? Also, I hooked up the temperature controller and temps are 78-82F now, so hopefully next grow will be better. Also, I'm going to Cape Cod for the summer, so these will be the last plants I grow until the beginning of August.........I was hoping for a bumper crop but that's not happening.

Hey everyone! It's been a few weeks....idk about you but damn I just keep getting busier and busier. Seems like I'm doing it wrong! haha

I took some pics of the dankness growing in the cabinet:) There's three different phenos; the first two are what I have seen before out of these seeds, and the third is a new one, but wow I like it!

Check it out:

Hey everyone, I hope you've had a great summer :) Just got back Sunday night and started some new Dr. Grinspoon x Bodhi Tree of Life seeds....popped 2/4 in the dirt today:weed:

I have to say that I've had some life changing experiences during this trip, and my outlook on things and the way I approach them has changed a lot. It's rare that people get this type of opportunity, and I'm exceptionally thankful. Hoping for the best for all of you!

Cheers!

Hello RIU peoples :)

Got all four seeds in the dirt (seems like I should have checked them last night, but it's okay) :) The plan is to veg under 16/8 + 5mins 730nm with two 72V 3000K CXB3590s and a 5000K CXB3070 until I top them all at least twice, then we will switch to 13/11 + 5mins 730nm for flowering in probably 3 weeks. Hopefully we get the first finisher in 11 weeks!

Woot! All four plants are sprouted :) We're moving right along!

(a little water spillage installing the blumats...but that's a thing that generally happens a bit for me)

I'm really not sure how I'm going to work out the space issue...I can fill it up with two plants probably.......

Looking at covering the same footprint with 4 CXA3070's at 1.4a.

Just picked up this little box of digikey, 9"x4.5"x2", gonna cut 2 ~3x3 holes in it and fit some Arctic 11's in there. Already has some holes in it so I figured it would be an easy hang-up and position. Now that I have it in hand I think a bigger one may be more accommodating for 2. They are about $20-30 once you get up to the bigger ones, but definitely a cheap solution to a light panel :-D


Only problem I have now is figuring out how to make the precision cuts.
better than that one they're selling on Amazon sold by Drake go I don't want to spend 180 could you send me a link to the one that you just got and check out this video shit that you shouldn't say freaking me outhttps://youtu.be/rW53E3ToFRw
