Put the three clones in 1g and the other is a mystery plant.
I know I had 1 mystery but now I have 2. Maybe there is an explanation a couple pages back, but I can't remember why I have 2.
Got to soak the carrots and get the blue mats hooked up tomorrow hopefully.
The autos [the yellow leaves] are actually looking pretty good for what they are.
All the others really needed feed and Mg.
Got to flip theses ASAP. Maybe tomorrow even. The sooner I flip the sooner I can get the two still in the tent back out. They are not liking the tent but still going.

The Rum Runner smelled so outrageous I almost bought more seeds today at the GP reverse auction. No joke~!
I still have some beans though so am looking forward to doing it again.
Trying the Zamal Dreams tonight~!
Trimmed the one chopped last week.

I think she is just what I have been looking for.🔥
Got me going and made me laugh till late in the night~! :love:
I commented on Granny corner how the one I trimmed yesterday had a smell I didn't recognize.
I am lousy at name that smell but some smells are common.
The ZD was not familiar to me. Maybe it is the tennis ball aroma you and Max mention.
I would have thought tennis balls to be more rubbery like?
Either way with zero cure she burned nice and tasted great.
I used the bong last night, but just twisted a joint of her moments ago.
I tip my hat to you good sir~!🔥
To boot the buds are beautiful~!:love:
 
Ok everyone seems happier in their new digs so I went through and did LST clips and small strategic defol yesterday
DSC_0847 - Copy.JPG
Gained a little more head room bending them.

^^The autos^^
So being fairly pleased I decreased light to 16-8 today so tomorrow will be first day of less light.
Going to drop another 2 hours next weekend and then maybe move the two big girls out of the tent and get the clones into the tent under 18-6.
I do see pistils on many of the plants already.😁

Big THANKS to all who follow along and participate on this thread and wherever on this forum.
1 year ago today this forum was started and you guys have made this forum a great place to be.
Thanks so much to all my Bud Builders family~!:love:

🤦‍♂️ Will that hurt your floor much bud..those bud builder stickers fit snugly on the fans guard..me likely.😃

Na no harm.
The room is on a 6 inch concrete slab, not a wood floor like in a house.
I would not use the blumats in my house.
I am sure it is user error also.
Just got to get them dialed in but if the plants don't drink quick it is very hard to know if you are set right.
These girls just got up potted and I see roots in the drip holes on bottom of pots already~!
Yea the sticker fit the fan just right~!
Hoping the videos being on imgur get us a little more exposure.
I'll send you stickers if you want Max~!
Message info if you want a couple.
 
We are getting a lot of guests on here lately .I’ve noticed the views to my thread has been going up rather quickly…is moe making them as I was going to hit him up down the track when he makes something to smuggle seeds to me lol..
 
Moe didn't make these, but should be able to soon.
I ordered these and sent half to Moe to pass out with prizes and for the 420 event.
I kept half and have been mailing them to whoever wants.
Say the word man you're all good in my book. :love:
I was thinking of asking my supply store if I could just leave some on the counter for customers to take free.
The leaf would get many takers, and some might even chase us down.
Got matching magnets coming too~!🥴
Legal state~! 🥳😁
 
Steam, I have been meaning to thank you for your help and support of our first 420 event! Most appreciated! Moe and I will be winging it!
Our convo:
Moe: What do we do at this event?
Me: Network!
Moe: Guess I will just follow you around, and video you for the lives.
Me: Um nope.
😂🥹😂
 
I Home protect, all I am allowed after 10 years in the joint! Now I smoke em! but The Joint is now the "Looney Bin" ya dig, crazy in there, no bueno.
 
Turned lights to 12/12 today so tomorrow will be day one flower.
Plenty of pistils already on many if not most plants.
The 2 Super Lemon Haze are about 4 feet tall~!
Fruit Punch right there with them and TIGHT nodes on her coming for stretch.
Autos and the ZD and RR in flower are very close.
The ZD really seems sativa dom with soft buds.
The RR has rock hard buds.
The autos and both flowering looked whipped with still white pistils.

Fan stickers for the WIN!!!! 😂
 
thats crazy you still have the others in flower!!! is it cool to deal with? or was it just a big pita?

.

so you went two hours a week for three weeks to get to 12/12 correct?

they're freakin monsters man!!!!!!
 
The two in flower are doing better now they are out of the tent.
It is some unknown dynamic as far as I know. I mean I don't know why.
The rum runner has just been burning the leaves up. Might be a pain to clean but I figure the silicone BBQ brush will clean it up.
I think it will be fire for sure. She is close to done IMO. Started 2 weeks behind and 4 weeks total slower than the last group but really only 2 weeks extra here.
That may only be 10 weeks tops if you count from 12/12. It is 12+ weeks if you count from 14/10.
The Zamal Dreams looks good I am seeing first color change in pistils. She could keep going longer I think. I may just let her keep going.
Her buds are soft so maybe they just need more time.
I got till around June now just cruising 12/12.
Neither of them have been much trouble they just hated the tent? The challenge to finish a plant grows the longer you grow them.
I have not flowered a plant this long indoors ever that I remember.
Yea I think I went from 18/6 to 12/12 in like 3 weeks/jumps. 16/8,14/10, finally 12/12.

When I went in to look today the SLH was only 2-3 inches from touching the light and still felt cool~!
I raised the lights up and thought stretch should be over soon I hope~!
Hoping the Quoddy Bay is fueling the large growth.
Even the ones I mainlined are like serious bushes with loads of bud sites on them.
I noticed roots in the drain holes about 2 weeks after up potting so hoping the roots are all over in the pot.

I liked doing 10 minutes a day every day, easy when using Eplugs, but not so easy on pin timers.
Click to expand...
That would mean I'd have to go out there every day~! So no slacker there. 😁 That and low tech pin timers here.:rolleyes:


Man I will risk it and say I think the blumats are dialed in to be life support and I only need to check on these girls 2x a week~!
I visit them 2-3 times weekdays depending on my schedule. Most task are weekend activity.
I got 3 more carrots and rings that I can hook up the clones if I want.
Barrel should be empty tomorrow so I can drill another hole for bulkhead and feed line #3 and then I will get them all hooked up.
Maybe up pot them also.

So my schedule; been going North now for maybe 6 weeks now and MAYBE this week [#7] we will start installing some copper~!
Turns out when we removed the old roof on the dome it was 100% terracotta~! We have spent the last 4 weeks or so cladding the whole thing in wood.
So what might have been 2 months is now likely 3 easy maybe 4 months~!:oops:
Only good news is that we have a local metal job at the Saratoga race track to do before we go west~!
The local job will be the highest paying of all 3 so it really makes a big difference in moral.

So everyday I go in the room these Super Lemon Haze just keep trying to touch the lights~!
I mean they are within 2 inches of light everyday.
This is why the call it stretch.
DSC_0858 - Copy.JPG
^^ 4/13 couple inches short of 4 feet.^^
DSC_0859 - Copy.JPG
DSC_0860 - Copy.JPG
^^ 4-5 inches at least in the last 4-5 days~!^^
Super Lemon Haze over 4 feet and Fruit Punch right there with them at 4 feet.
Going to need to re arrange the room [ again ] and hope the stretch is almost over.
The room is becoming crowded earlier than usual. 😁

Are you're lights at full power ?

Yea they are at 100% ~! The SLH is under the FC8000.
I am shocked they aren't burnt but I place my hand between light and plant and the fan is doing it's job.
I will probably have to remove the wire hanging harness to get more height. Taking them off could get me 12-14 inches.
Only got 4-6 inches left before it will happen~!
 
I bought a 12 pack of ratchet hangers just so I didn't have to use those hangers lol. I hate those cheesy hangers the lights come with.

I use ratchets to raise and lower the lights also.
The wire is a Y like in this photo but loses me like 12-16 inches at least.
DSC_0860 - Copy.JPG
Going to need to use shorter chains to hook the ratchets too.
Should be no big deal. I even feel like I have done this before.
Although I can't remember needing to since maybe the first grow.

Those ones in the last photo are what came with the off brand 480 my fil gave me, they're neat, but still got binned lol. I just like 4 ratchets per light, makes adjustments a pain, but I feel better with them over those wire hangers
 
I usually toss the hangers that come with whatever light. They're pretty much useless. I use rope ratchets for pretty much everything hanging in the tent.

BTW to all members........I get ten HD 1/8" rope ratchets for around $32.00 shipped anywhere in the US from my discounted account so if you need them just hit me up and I'll hook you up with the discount.
 
your plants are large and in charge!!!! you think those containers are gonna be heavy enough to hold up the plants with buds??

you might have to screw em down! :D

do you still have the ZD in flower?

Happy anniversary man~! Glad to have you here with us~!🥳

I have yoyos. :oops:
The SLH was within 1 inch of the light again today. I moved the light at least 3-4 inches yesterday~!
Kind of wondering how long stretch will last~!
Going to have raise the fan on the wall so it doesn't hit the light when I raise it more next time~!
I choked up the one side of the light wire but will probably hook up new chains to it tomorrow.

Something tells me Quoddy Bay will be a regular soil additive from here on out?
I picked up more Quoddy bay compost today to make tea with.
Funny how in the tent they just would not fill in the same.
I did not expect this growth though.
