Apparently it was just the surge protector. My AC has to be plugged into the master switch and be turned on or it won't work. Nothing else will work. If you plug in a small fan into the socket and turn it on it's the wrong combo.

To be brief...I have no fscking idea what is going on. Lol. Lights on now and even seems brighter than before.

Its very crazy to say the least. Glad I had help though. I doubt I would have figured it out if the other brand new hood was working. The 400w didn't light up and I just kept messing with shit.

It was part of the Skywalker branch I posted about before. It ended up coming out to 2 grams after dry and everything. All the strains (Blue Dreams, Other Skywalker, Platinum OG, and God's Gift) should be finishing anytime now. They have had a couple flower bursts recently.

Most of them went through a lot of stress in the beginning so I wouldn't be suprised if I am a week or two behind right now. On everything besides the Bonsai Skywalker...she is so good, haha.

I don't have many fat colas. I did lots of tops and I don't have CO2 going. I didn't really concentrate on pruning. I wanted to see how the plants grew first.

After this harvest I will be upgrading to a bigger tent, changing to an ebb n gro type system, putting in CO2 and closing up the tent. And after my 2nd hydro harvest I will hopefully be have my plasma lights going.

My dehumidifier should be arriving tomorrow. :}

Sprinkler head and 4" cylindrical airstone on.


Off.


Some rocks from the front yard. These are plentiful in the San Bernardino County...


Put the Air stone and grommet through the little kids head on the drowning warning. The grommet you need is almost exactly the size of the kids head. I got it when I picked up the netpot at the local hydroshop. They have a homebrewing section.

Heated a knife on the stove and slowly melted the plastic until the grommet fit. The melted plastic also helped snug it in once it cooled.

I use Hydroton. I haven't just used rocks before, I heard they are prone to algea and such. He didn't wanna wait til I got back up to his house to give him some hydroton, haha.

Looks good, I use stones like that on my mother plant; she seems to like them. Excellent harvest Ll, you should have some top shelf very soon.

Thank you sir. This grow was out gettign quality before making them so big I get bud rot or something else. I didn't want to have too many more issues than I knew I would be dealing with already.

Hopefully my next couple grows will make me famous here on RUI. :}

Just plugged in the dehumidfier. It says it has already pulled 4% moisture out when it's only been plugged in for a few minutes. The box states that it will be perfect for a 2000 sqft area and I think this room is like 100 sqft. Went from 55% to 49%, dropped from 51 to 49 while I was typing the first few sentences.

I did a lot of research and went with Danby brand. Most the reviews I read all pointed to them being the best, quietest and most durable...48%. I feel like I am happy with my purchase. It is a Danby Premiere 30 pint, DDR30E-1. I got it for ~156 w/ shipping from compactappliance.com

Dang been about a week. Not much to report. Cut down the Bonsai Skywalker Monday. She has a few Purple spots creeping up, I should have waited a few days longer. I like the heady high it gave early on so hopefully it is just mostly milky white with a couple amber after curing. It's lost about half it's weight so far. I will be jarring and drying it at teh end of the week on into next week. Should have something to put up around the beginning of next week.

I am going to be chopping the other girls as the week goes on. The other Skywalker is finishing up and the hairs are mostly red now and beginning to withdrawal into the calyx. I have the POG's, God's Gift and finally the Blue Dream. I'm not happy with the BD, just isn't the strain I want to grow. It hermied with teh stress during the grow I think. Only the BD has shown bananas. I will probably have a few seeds as a result though.

I will be picking up new babies soon probably at the beginning of Nov. If I can get compensated for this grow quickly enough I will start sooner. I don't want to start until I have a larger tent.

Get you guys some pics at the end of the week. :}

Oh yeah. And my dehumidifier isn't turning on. It was leaking water (probably because I didn't plug in the hose properly) and the electrical cord and everything is on the bottom. Well I also didn't screw on the casters that came with it. So, I believe it shorted it out and I am not going to have to try and get it replaced.

The Skywalker makes me feel like a Jedi Knight of the Old Republic, on the real though. The others didn't come out half as good as I had wanted them to, but with all the stress and moving and lights dropping out I am happy. The girls finish and the BD, God's Gift and the other POG will be jarred, most likely, on Wednesday. I have filled 6 of the Mason Jars each with about an ounce give or take a few grams. About 6 zips from 4 plants, and I will find out how much the BD will weigh soon. The God's Gift is pretty and smells quite sweet. I am sad she did not reach her full potential, I think I may only get a half oz off her total. I will enjoy her smoke for sure though.

Lantern out.
