haha

 

[Observer]

duuuuuuude fill that fukin thing up with solos and just bottom feed it, lmao

veg for like 20 days and then flip, youll have too much weed in no time.

 

[Zen_seeker]

I moded a 2-1. (Shouldn’t that be a 3-1?)

Zone 1: Seeds, sprouts & clones.
Zone 2: Preveg to mid veg.
Zone 3: Veg to flower.

Have a second one as well, unmodified. Backup and for when things go wrong…terribly, terribly wrong.

Down to $120CND. Only D600 but in a basement room. Lasted 16 months with only a half dozen little nips out of the reflective coating.

I use silver duct tape inside to stop any light leaks between zones. For the price I can’t complain.

Ever want to see something or have questions feel free.

Only allowed 4 plants total.
No SOG for me. Just a puddle.

ohhh cmonnnn to helllll with that

[Observer]

its a principle thing for me

I can’t even have a backup clone unless I harvest a plant. Drives me nuts. If a cutting gets a root I give away or toss it.

i got my "coolgrows" 2x4 for 78USD$ and my 5x5 for 125$, just 600D, noname/offbrand chinese tents but gets the job done mostly, for now.

I’ll make a list next that notes it all.

holy fuck

you can do salts for 1/4 the price possibly and have only 3-5 things youll ever need

ofc whatever works for you, just trying to save ya a $ possibly.

But how do I stop hight but allow healthy growth to get to flower?

you top it and mainline it

Only using the three Botanicare Kind Trio since before I joined BB. Had a few bottles as on sale.

Still use ProCal and some tea but that’s it. Rest was following others advice. Just haven’t tossed anything. Cost to much.

yes "stretch" will/can still happen, how ever, ive had plants go into flower and either not stretch or stretch 4 inches.

i also think you can bring the light closer to canopy to help reduce the stretch amount

ive not verified this.

also stay away from red leaning spectrums if you want to keep the plant as short and squashy as possible.



just gotta do some "training"

 

[Observer]

"cannabis Mainline"

 

[Zen_seeker]

Yep. Last few times. Super cropping too. Even in flower. Beats another BBQ.

Twin2 outside showed me a lot. Scary dangers and twists each month but worth the experience alone.

lmao, ya know, i saw the yellow thing but didnt look closer.

 

[Observer]

i think i thought it was yellow gnat traps at first ha

Okay. I can see that. But in past grows I’ve gone LST crazy. Learned that before cloning.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Little slow filling in but not really a SCROG is it?

Healthy, nice color, no burnt tips. Keeping leaves under 26*, usually 25*.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Next gen is in training. Clone B is the last of this plant.


NL2 is looking good but IDK what to do with her. Mothers in flower. But I haven’t done any LST or anything yet.

Time to think on it.

Take NL2, break her back and bend her over.

Or cut top out for new clone

Things looked good last night.


Still the first week after flip. Tucking seems to be needed every two or three days so far.

Leaf temps are 24.3-25.7 last night.

Turned on the intake fan which bumped humidity to 55% at lights on.

Weathers all over but not as bad as the summer.



Clip will be jarred tonight or tomorrow night. Tried a sample yesterday. Smell is getting nicer but taste isn’t there yet. Feels nice. Still sticky as hell too.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Mixed bag over the weekend but roofs are replaced. Now we wait and hope the leaks gone. It got bad.

Gardening continues.

Zone 3:


Zone 2:


I topped the NL2 clone. Just easier ATM.



My red Folgers coffee can makes clones pretty easy so I made a lid for it.



10 days later, no hormone gel or powder. Wish seeds were this easy.

Still cleaning up after the weekend but outsides all done. Drywall repairs inside might have to wait until spring. (Maybe I can hibernate)

Do the damn drywall!
You know why!

Why do you need to wait until spring?

Removing old drywall is done but until winter is over I don’t want to close things up again until I know the leak I’d gone.

This is the second time we’ve had a leak here.
