Is your night time low 61*?

 

[Shaded]

Looking lovely in the jungle car Mr. Roller! our grows are looking very similar lol

 

[MDK]

Nice looking crop, I like doing that with water on the floor space as well if I catch my rh real low...quickly puts it back in place

 

[SweetLeafGrow]

Nearest to perfection as I have ever seen. You make it all look so easy.

 

[Nesta]

Heck yeah Steam. Looking great!

No we have gone much cooler. My intake acinfinty fans draw air from outside though through a window. I still have a 20" box fan blowing in the tube[ 6 inch] 24/7. That will change next week, I think.

You got it going on man~!
I am still being a pretty good slacker~
I am doing the organic soil with synthetic nutes. I can fix shit in a week hopefully... I'll cross the finish line even if going sideways~!

Buddy who would have thought? Sometimes simple is best. Do something hard and it is what is, it was hard. Do something easy and it should be smoking!

Not even close but much love~! Just hoping to not be pissed when this all over.

Supposed to be installing my Blumats now but they have not arrived yet.
Any question I have in the next couple days will go to you man~!

They just arrived and I will try to get them installed tomorrow after I get home.
I think I got it, but you are the only one I know actually using them.

 

[steamroller]

So I missed week 5 being out of town. This is now week 6.
The blumats are for real~!
A little more time to adjust them and see each plants needs would have been nice, but the slacker installed and packed the car~!
They made it fine with just water, but probably would have enjoyed the personal touch.
I have said I never finish green and it is me and lack of approach or maybe Ethos or combo of the two?

Pulled lots of spent leaves that probably would have been pulled if I actually did a defol?
I kind of think leaving them allowed them to feed the plant while I was gone.
I have never been "on top" of my plants but also never feel outwitted..

 

[steamroller]

Week 6 continued~!
20 pictures is the limit..


The blumat set up;


Next grows seeds have arrived and great big thanks to Jeff @dragonsflamegenetics.

Hope you have and enjoy a great weekend.
Grow strong~!

 

[GrumpAzz]

Is this the same one that was growing weird and twisted early on? I kinda like it.

That is the mutant Mandarin Cookies R3~!
Never kill the runt said the 5'6" 135lb man.
First pic;
^^This is wavy crazy Cherry Gar See Ya ^^
Still wavy leaves?
This is the part @Cool_Beans is missing.
There are 6 or more strains going.
All walking at their own pace. I won't pretend to be able to diagnose each plant or its need.
Not all had such severe color change or nute def yet.
Slacker already knows he should have kept better track of who did what on the 9 day free for all.
Remember this is a no stress grow.
Pretty pleased so far with effort invested siad the slacker.
Just installed shut off valves for the blumats so I can feed them tomorrow.

Common sense says I will need refill/resetup the carrots if I let them dry out so I may just remove them tomorrow and store them in water until I desire to set them up again. They did what I needed keeping plants alive while I was in Maine for a week.

 

[MDK]

Man looks like the bluffs by the river this time of year, nice color going on in there.

Blumats a slow Drip gravity feed or how's that work? I can look it up but curious if there is a short answer?

The carrots sense dryness in the soil and open a valve to let water in.

At least thats what i got when i read into them.

 

[steamroller]

Thanks man~!
You got it. Simple controlled drip from a small line that the carrot controls by the moisture in the pot.
No electric/pump or anything.
Got 3 of this kit for the 15 pots;

Amazon.com

I wanted to buy some a while back for when i go on trips but i didnt find it worth while when i have a very trustworthy friend who takes care of my house/animals when im away so i throw him a little extra to just water some soil lol.
If i didnt have him around, blumats would be in my grow 100%

 

[Rootsruler]

So the blumats drip water onto the floraflex plates. How does the water spread over the plate for coverage?

While I would design a more proper drip ring, the flow is so slow that the medium/soil really dictates the saturation IMO.
I have flooded 2 of the plants since returning home [ not on purpose ] and can say the whole pot is wet.
My idea for future use is a hole for carrot on the side of pot and possibly more than one drip line if possible. A simple T with even legnths of drip line should flow even. couldn't find the genius emoji so;

The manufacturer does this easily with additional carrots per pot, but I think I can work something out without extra carrots.

I saw a sign while on my trip to Maine that read;
As I have suspected, I have been correct all the time.

 

[Rootsruler]

So you're relying more on the capillary effects of the soil for coverage?

 

[steamroller]

Yea IMO.
The drip line is small so without good capillary action one would think the drip would flow right straight through.
First time using them and did not want to remove the trays but I don't think they had much effect.
The flow would never be able to fill even one part of the tray fast enough.

 

[Rootsruler]

Have you found that the trays tend to keep soil moist longer due to keeping evaporation down?

 

[steamroller]

I do think they help with that.
In veg I only watered every 5-7 days.

Have you noticed your room humidity running lower than usual with the plates? I'm guessing with them keeping more of the moisture in the soil it also decreases humidity levels in the room?

 

[steamroller]

When the humidity was not oppressive here, I did need to supplement with humidifier and actually pouring water on the floor!

 

[Rootsruler]

Oh Right! I remember that in one of your earlier posts! Cool!

Week 7 in the books. Added so yo-yos over the last week. They are needed~!
Stopped the passive outdoor air flow and turned heater on [ controlled by inkBird].
INO the fall foliage is a result of room temps going down to 60 and a deficiency that I won't be able to correct in time.
Neither are big deals for me. The positive note of this grow is not showing many nute burned tips so I know I did not over do anything.
I would rather be light than heavy on feeds and never really worried about dialing it in. Growth has been good for the average guy.
All in all it appears a couple will finish with some green, but I still will not have many leaves to clean when the time comes.
And it is getting closer everyday.













Everybody got watered and fed on Monday and again today. Second dose of Cha Ching along with all the other regulars.
This may be the last feeding and water for the rest of time.
At least water only for several of them that look to finishing.
Hope everyone is high and has had a great weekend.

I had one that grew Bic lighters.
Much more profitable~!
Sorry I ever let that one go~!

I guess you could truthfully say the plant with the lighter was fire..............

8 weeks in the books.
Pretty pleased.
All strains are listed for 7 weeks[ hash plant] or 8-9 weeks for all others.
We'll see if they make 10 weeks.
Calander says 8 weeks today, 9 weeks 11/5 and 10 weeks being 11/12.
Video first then pictures from phone with fans shut off that may be clearer than previous pic.

The room is a mess from dead leaves .Being a slacker..
I have another confession.
When I started seeds I labeled my tags with a red sharpy that faded more than once before I corrected it.
I corrected them after they got to the room but by then I had moved them and lost some order.
I do NOT have 4 Cherry Gar See Yas I have 2. 2 of what I have labeled as CG are Planet of The Grapes.
Mistake was seeing PG or CG while faded.
I just hope I can tell them apart when smoked.
They are side by side and I can not really see a hard fast tell as to who is who.

Met up with @GoodShit97 yesterday and am glad to have met at least 1 member here.
Solid dude. We will meet again, and he may even become an 'unbiased tester' for me.

Ordered some seeds from Greenpoint and now having second thoughts on what to start next.
I have more than half of all the seeds from this grow plus the DFG and now soon to arrive 2 more 6 packs.
I need to figure what is next and get it going before I completely finish the room.


Thinking if I hold out on the DFG which are sativa dominant I can start them in late winter/spring and maybe move few outdoors or let them love the heat of early summer for finish in the room. Kind of want to build a different room for them.

Also got some BudBuilders swag yesterday.

These should be available to all soon I think.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend~!
Stay HIGH~!

We need a DOUBLE love for this one bro, WOW!

Awesome pics of the buds Steam..they are rocking it

[Cool_Beans]

Sick grow there dude love the fade

 

[stonemason]

Wow.great colors.love a good fade at the end.imho it makes them taste better.

 

[moe.red]

Those are some good genetics. I'll have to give Ethos a try. Nice grow SR

I have plenty of seeds if you want some.
Say the word.
I think I am going to repeat this grow with the Greenpoints I just got also.

 

[GoodShit97]

Hang on your socks man!! We met up last weekend and he gave me some Ethos stuff he grew. The Crescendo and Mandarin Cookies R1 are both kick ass. Nice fuely citrus notes from the mandarin, and earthy citrus from the Crescendo, and that nice sativa high i look for from both
He also gave me a bag that said "OV" and im guessing that was Orange Velvet also from ethos, i made hash from that and its much like a tangerine. Definitely dig the genetics but it helps when its grown right too!!

Ethos and Greenpoint genetics will be my next purchases lol.

 

[steamroller]

I'll be watching @SSHZ and his next grow.
He will doing Mandarin Cookies R3 which I have 2 of in this grow.
One is the mutant that won't be a big producer but it is so different from the other I expect it to be fire on fire.
