Hey all,
Hope all you guys are good.

Finally set up the set up.CAM00598 - Copy.jpg CAM00599 - Copy.jpg CAM00600 - Copy.jpg
Plants are Jack Herer, Powerbud and Speed Haze all by Blackskull.
I only had enough clay pebbled to fill 60% of the pots so I topped up with coco coir as it was the most convenient option.
The oldest are almost 4 weeks with a few more a few days younger.
I started them all as little hempy's with perlite and moved into final pots one week ago starting with 1/4 strength GHE 3 part flora at about 300 PPM and pH of 5.8, I have topped up the res twice once with plain water and once with 1/2 strength and PPM is now at 550.
The pump comes on with the light (400W MH) and every three hours after that with a flood time of 5 minutes and I leave the air pump running continuously.
This morning when I looked in on them I saw a seedling had just broke ground , I gently removed it and put it into the little plastic cup but it was growing exactly where the cup is in the picture, it's definitely MJ and when I pulled it out the tap root was only about 2 inches or so, I haven't been near any seeds in 3 weeks so I have absolutely no idea where it came from.
I think I have it dialled in somewhat but as always advice is welcome

Update on the Berry White. My buddy ripped his stitches from his last hernia surgery so I won't have it till friday.

I guess I'm stuck with bay 11 and 10 different other strains.

It is the NBA playoff's here in America and my favorite team is the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder. I love some basketball.

Hell I posted on this site where a guy was asking about building a cab and I showed pictures of mine and then broke everything down by cost so I thought what the hell Ill put it on here:

my conversion ballast is mounted on the outside back of my cab so I don't need to worry about heat and like I said I have a portable air conditioner. Not sure how much room or money you have but building a cab is not hard as long as you have the tools like a drill, another person, and a level.
I spent about Ballast (Apollow): $102, Lights MH and HPS $70 (Plantmax), Dryer hose (AZ Partmaster Metal Dryer Vent hose 25 feet): $30, Filter and Fan (VenTech Inline Duct Fan 440 cfm, very quite, Virgin Charcoal Filter Combo, its on amazon): $137.75, Hood (6 inch Air Cooled Hydroponic Grow Light Reflecter by SilverSun): $110, Ebb n Flow (Botanicare Micro Garden Complete Ebb and Flow): $190, Two Pumps (One for feeding and one for changing out the water, EcoPlus 185 GPH pumps): $31.00 for both, Timers (2 Timers one for feeding and one for lights, HydroFarm TM01715D 7-Day Digital Program Timer): $30.00 for both

Plus things like buying the cab, lining it with reflective material (not aluminum), tubing for pumps, 6 port surge protecter plugins, I have 4. Screws, Nuts and bolts. Good Reflective duct tape to seal the hose around the hood, fan and filter to tubing and the exit for the air once it passes through your bulb and hood, nutrients. Lucas method you only need two different kinds of nutrients I use flora bloom and flora micro brand. And anything small I may have forgot. My cab ran me $150 already assembled, meaning I didn't need to put the doors on it. I recommend the Sandusky Lee Storage Cabinet with digital lock its just under 6 feet and is $330 but it is sturdy as hell, my buddy has one in his room closet.

All together it comes out to $1030.75 not counting the surge protectors, fans, bungee cords, tubing, and hardware which will run about another $150. Oh and a PPM meter and a PH meter.


It may sound a lot but it isn't just look on the internet for something similar already put together with a hydro system in it and they are between $2k and $3k

Happy Sunday everyone, had a late start on today
breakfast.jpg Yeah I was helping a guy that wanted to know what he needed to build a cab. He didn't specify how big or where is was going to be so I just gave him the info for the equipment I had.

Ok for fuck sake we got the new tent and no more damn experimenting not one worked so back to basics.

This run is going to be 3 BLZ, 3 Chernobyl (the Dracul cut), 3 Gogi OG and 2 Double White

Breakfast of champions, dude. A 3/4 full decanter of fresh coffee with that and it would be an Olympic sport.
