Kuwl's Krazy 8's - Auto Pot Grow

[Kuwl]

Nice to see tags with them, its my second grow in a row I've lost 4 out of 6 tags. I was really bad at harvest to, everything went in the dry box and got bagged as they came out. 6 plants in 4 large bags,,,whats what is anybodys guess. no names on anything, its all a sweet surprise...lol...

I guess I mix and match too while smoking or rolling, I just reach in pull out enough smoke to roll a joint or 2 get rid of the fking seeds and smoke....not all buds but most have at least 1 in them. pitfa...lets just hope I did enough cleaning to prevent another disaster this grow.

What's funny is after finishing transplanting the four 2.2 pots I looked at my accomplishment and must have had a look of horror on my face as
I noticed none were tagged hahaha luckly I put the cups in order when I did it so it was easy to put the tags on the right pot.

Kind of what I miss from doing that is deciding what I want to smoke...Quebec Blue? Sour D.? Green Crack?....nope now its just smoke I reach in grab a handful and smoke....I might get a whiff of something recognizable but then its gone...

It must be good though, my chess playing has gone for a shit. I used to be a 1550- 1600 rated player until recently , now I'm lucky to beat 1450 rated opponents, I'm not seeing the big picture. I usually resigned when I saw defeat coming, the last couple of weeks I've been surprised check mated numerous times......my brain is slipping...or.....??? is it just good weed?....lol..

Yep I still do and love my last batch, all are really good and smoke well.
I smoke in the daytime now and relax a lot lol but after hitting my head 3 times on the camera mount ( a pipe ), in the grow room,
I decided to spare myself some pain and move it to the opposite side and on the wall so no pipe

Looks are deciving on one of these plants but the other one is on life support.

The 1st one I've been watching intently is this Blue Dream runt that refuses to grow.
It's got the Peter Pan syndrome, it don't want to grow up.

The second one is almost dead and also refuses to grow or develope in any way.
That is the other Gold Sativa so I'm quite surprized because it's one of the QC seeds
that have an exceptional germination and growth rate. 100% for me with this one exception.

All were in the same soil with the same water and light, so I'm confused at this point on why they not growing.
Any thoughts?
BD looks healthy as heck but won't grow.
GS looks awful and I think it's on it's last leg.
I'm tempted to plant another seed but the other 7 are 2 weeks into it and another seed will be 2 weeks behind.
It's a problem and if I plant another seed I'd better do it today.
Here's 2 pic's of each plant, remember that the BD is deceiving because it's 2 weeks old not 2 days.
Although it looks healthy, it's not.

The soil in the re-potted BD has additives and extra Perlite + Gypsum, the GS is in it's original solo cup with just Pro Mix soil which only has 1-2% perlite out of the bag.

3 weeks into veg this Saturday
That lil Gold Sativa died and the Blue Dream runt got new leaves and new node too!
It grew a bit but not much so I put a Fruity Pebbles 2.0 seed in a solo as a back up.
It's growing well and will catch up to the BD by next week haha.
Good to have a bu just incase but if they all show fem I will put her in a 3g cloth pot and let her grow.
Soil still wet after I ran some Foliage Pro (5ml per g), for the N, into all the pots as the leaves looked too light green to me.
Hopefully this is not a PH issue as I'm not PH'n my tap water (7.4) at this time, at least till I see problems with it.
Leaves still look to light of green to me.
I increased the light at a slow lvl up over 3 days to 50% @ 16in.
Increased exhaust to 3 on the SF 6in fan.
Moved cam so I don't hit my head.
They look good so far and looking back at my last grow about the same, just lots more of em.
I had to order more worm castings haha ran out but will be here by the time I have to mix more dirt.

Ya that's a radio, I like classical music when working down there and leave it on for the plants too!
My wife was doing laundry and asked if I had music playing there and I said yep and she said "I'm crazy"

 

[Rootsruler]

I read that plants like heavy metal and rap.

Classical music hey? sophisticated plants, high brow.....you'll have to look after them properly, a pampered life is what they'll expect. You may have to up your nute line.......just go to amzon and click the price high to low...when you select nutrients.......Classical music....lol....I'm just glad its not Opera., We'd have to talk....its like fingernails on a chalkboard to me....It'd rather listen to cats getting eaten by coyotes than Opera.

Veg Week 4
I been repottng the plants and doing what I can to get them in shape.
A BD an GTH are the problem childs in the bunch.
Most others are doing pretty good.

The small one in the gal. pot on the left, in the first pic, is not labeled. forgot, but its a spare just incase
and it's a Fruity Pebbles 2.0 I just repotted her today.

I put 4 of the plants into the 2.2 gal AP's and started her up today.
Early but I'm in a rush as I know humid hot weather that sometimes comes early in May.
So hopefully I'll harvest by then.
AP's working great with no problems so far.
I'll probably repot the rest into the 3.9 gal pots tomorrow.
I'll have to mix a new batch of soil and too tired to do it today.

Got Cold here with 2-3 inches of snow, hate it.

Here's some pic's of the grow so far. C99 and LSD are my best ones.

Had to use a second steamer to get it up to 40%

Pots are ready to go with air domes and inserts. Better pic next time.

Oh ya, I changed the music to classic rock hahaha but think they liked the classical better.
Me I like hard rock, some grunge and blues.

Looking great, nice clean set up has to make you feel proud of all the work you had to do to get there. If I were a Carpenter I could do so much with my place but my Crapentry doesn't cut it and I can't afford the guys that can do it.

 

[Kuwl]

I call my cats little endorphin pumps, I guess cannabis growing does similar pumping out feel good vibes.....

Ya I let them down cellar with me when I'm working on the plants or doing some cleaning but not when I'm mixing dirt
I have this outside cat that my daughter was feeding but she moved so I took it up for her.
Rango, the alley cat, comes around the back gate where I put some kibble for her. Her left ear is gone mostly, I wish I could take her in but she hisses at me lol.
And there is the dog which is why I feed her outside the gate and not in the yard. American Bullies are very protective.

Panda and Shady watching me on the puter.

 

[Pipecarver]

I have to bring Qnight down here in the morning, he expects it and starts scratching walls and furniture if he doesn't get his way driving my wife nuts. He caught a small bird today so he's a happy cat...bird not so much......proud as punch when he brought it in. Other than a few mice its been a tough winter on him.....He needs to kill something or he's not happy....fkin cats...

Mines only killed a couple of mice in our house but nothing lately. It's almost fly season and they are really good at catching them.

Mines only killed a couple of mice in our house but nothing lately. It's almost fly season and they are really good at catching them.

I think I've mentioned that my cats have a large outdoor adventure land I've enclosed off the back of our house and a large enclosed deck off the side. The back is open to them year round 24/7 but the side I shut off because there's a cold breeze between the 2 when both are open so only warm days they can go out there.

Still not enough for them, Qnight howells to go out, on the lease and scratches at the door.....Take me out!!!,,,,We created a monster, the other 2 ya they'll go out but its not a big deal to them

The big guy Coal likes to go out but he just wants to eat grass and sniff locally, in our yard, Qnight wants to go, There's about a 2 km hike through the woods we go on when its warm but only once so far and he wants to go 1-2-3 times a day

 

[Kuwl]

OK here's the final set up, I hope!
Put em into the 3.9 gal pots and turned on the AP System but I put only water into the rez for these 4.
See how each does one has light nutes with an edge on N (Foliage Pro) which gets it up to 500 PPM.
I had to PH the water as it was 7.4 so brought it down to 6.0.
All systems are a go and functioning perfecty after a minor hicup.
One of the black floats was not properly installed and was sticking, no problem with floods tho cause I forgot to turn the shut off valve on.

I also adjusted the TS1000 lights and turned them on full power.
My FC4800 is at 75% right now and will go 100% when I flip em, which migh happen any day now.

Topped em yesterday, hope all this don't interfere with their growth to much.
Dam it forgot what Pipe said about the dryness of the dirt when re-potting.
The last one I did fell apart and made a mess. It was the smallest one in the 3.9's that did it.
Half hour later and more pain in my back that I could stand and was done cleaning up that mess.
I think I will remember that from now on hahaha.

Pic's
This is the insert thingy that you have to poke dirt threw the holes according to the manual.
"This is essential for capillary action to accur" What ever that means.

I fill then wet it down.

After that I pull the plant out the gal and put it in with great care.

I don't know about 17% looks more like 5% amybe so I put in another 50% perlite and it looks like this.
Also lots of other stuff.

I like them roots.

LSD in the pot. Love the smoke so hope I get a good harvest from it.

Done
Well except for the air line hook up which will do after a few days or a week.

Maybe when this lot deal goes thru.
I'm buying the lot next to us, waiting for the paper work from the lawyers.
Beautiful set up for your cats Pipe, just very cool.

I would wet that tub full of soil with at least a gallon maybe more, I like it all damp before I transplant into it, then after transplanting I feed enough to saturate the pot, close to another 1/2 gallon all around to seat my plants into their new home.

A day or 2 later I turn on the pots. I had to top feed 1 plant a few days later that wasn't feeding yet, I could see the leaves hanging a bit. If the pot you are planting out of is dry just add a bit of water so that it doesn't fall apart when you pull it out of its pot and let it sit for a few min.

 

[steamroller]

Capillary action is water going uphill.
Like a sponge type behavior.
Looking good man~!

 

[Star Dog]

I'm told waters +/- adhesion is a stronger force than gravity.

It's got other applications for moving water around.

 

[Kuwl]

They look ok today but for a few spots on the leaves that look lil burnt.
I do wet them down before and after just forgot that one.
Main thing is they're still alive!

A problem did occur last night before lights out and with my blind eyes I barely seen them.
Tiny lil Ants!!! Guess who's googling organic ant killer or maybe I'll pick up a few of those traps.
Snow outside, ants inside lol, dunno where or how they got into my grow room but they are by the wall
which is all underground outside and never ever seen them before now. Right under some wood flooring panels.
Maybe they came thru the wall with a big nest underground on the other side.
That debris is from the cracks of unsealed morter, between the stones, they've been busy.
And I wonder if they are carring off my perlite too.

And found out Panda likes Marijuana leaves to chew on, so no more in my grow room ha!

Fkin ants man, we get them too, drives my wife nuts. None through winter though, I thought they'd be frozen out now. I've never seen them in my grow rooms though, I have a spray bottle of water & bleach I spray on my floors when its warm here and bugs are out. I'm more afraid of mites....the M word...I don't even like saying it. It might not kill them all but it slows them down.

Yep used a bottle of bleach/clorox cleaning spray, wow, it was like a gas attack and they dropped dead quick
but left a clorine smell in the room that I thought was not good for the plants.
First time I seen any in the cellar usually it's carpenter ants by the kitchen sink and then only once or twice.
Well its a nice warm room with decent humi and I thought I'd build them a spa pool of Baking Soda and Sugar equal parts with a touch of water eheheh.
Here's a pic of the results and they love it so much they are still checking in,

Ahhh to slow but found something else that I brought on clearance at the garden center at wm last year for $5 each and brought a bunch.
That did the trick dead on contact.

Hey, I saw these on another thread & it got my grey matter moving, Did you say at one time that you had these splitter's?.....2 in 1 pot like this...looks interesting. They grow so well in the AP's it might fill the tent quicker with 2 smaller in each pot. Don't know if I want to spend $20 Cdn for each base and splitter but I could work a sheet of plastic into shape.....better with a template and prototypes can be ugly but I'm really to cheap to pay $20 each x 6........nope....good talk///I'm looking for plastic sheets.....

No, I don't have them, maybe I was showing them, They have 4 way ones too.
I seen them awhile ago and thought they were interesting but forgot about them.
In the 3.9 gal pot would work good.
After this grow I was going to downsize and grow one plant in the 3.9's but now that you
reminded me about these, I think I might try that and do 2 or 4 plants in the one pot.
I guess you could try to make one, if you made a good template and use it on one of those cheap
white plastic cutting boards or something similar.
Just smoked one so going to get some breakfast,...... later.

Ya those are the same ones with 1/2 missing. They come with 2 dividers that go together to make 4 pots, he's only using the 1 piece.
Gee's the last time I looked they came with the domes $19.95 ...but the domes don't work with the dividers it says on their website. I'm going to keep this on my list, I may pic up 1 next order and see if I can copy them. Plastic is easy to work with, if I can find 1/4"sheets of it somewhere.

Do you think with the pot split in two there will be enough room for roots?

Well they grow so well in them that I think that will make up for any crowding, The plants would have to be smaller but I think its worth a test drive..$14 bucks as an add on to make up the $125 they are now charging before free shipping isn't bad.

If it works you can go to 12 plants per grow. Then you can grow from fall to late spring should get two harvests and shut down in the summer humidity.

Week 5
Had some problems with timer settings, think I lost my mind.
I had it set at 18/6 turns on at 8am off at 2am some how got changed by poltergiest to 12/12
8am - 8pm so changed it back to 18/6 but did not sink with the other lights,
so one would turn off and the other would turn on.
Said hell with it and put em at 12/12.

It's about 80 degrees with 60% RH in there right now.
That's the highest the humi's been, usualy it's at 40%.
They drinking good so added another 4 gal of nutes in each rez tank.
5ml per gal except for MP and Bloom which I put in at half strength.

Had to put another bender clip on LSD she gets taller than the rest.
Other than my mind going to hell everything is good.
I did wash out one of the tanks which had nutes in the longest.
It looked a bit cloudy so cleaned it out, the other one had water in it most of the time.

Feeding this outside cat that my daughter was feeding but she moved.
I finely got it to trust me to pet him. Nice cat, wish I could take it in but for the dog, I can't.
It's an outside cat so it won't like inside like my other cat's.
She named him Rango so I feed it and hope for the best.
He got a chewed up ear.
Took this last wk when there was still snow on the ground.

Sky jumped up on the bed, Shady did not like the dog in his territory.

He was showing Sky fuck around and find out.

Sky decided to lay down and behave.

Panda is a layed back kitty kat or stoned not sure which.

The spare is in the cloth pot, just incase.

Hey, that cat has soft sad eyes and needs someone to look after it, I hate seeing that look on them. I've turned soft on cats, if I could I'd take more in but wifes a hard no fkin way....and she's usually so polite and quiet...when that happens I know I'm at the limit....lol

I switched timers this time because I have a sneaking suspicion one was triggering on for a few min at night when they should have been off. I must have 10 timers, some work others??? and they are mixed up....ya.....I have a few 2 prong timers with just an on and off timers, no 15-30 minute intervals but there so big they take up my entire power bars...most of them do so I've little yellow $ store triple splitters I try and add in to the bars to separate them.

Yep ha I have the same spliters from the $ store too!

Some how before next winter we will do something for that cat,
either I will find a forever home or my daughter will take it in.
Hard part will be getting it to stay inside the house, lol.
He finally got comfortable for me to pet him.
I noticed when I feed him he looks over his shoulder always warey of danger.

If there's a male in there it should show up by next week so I'm keeping my eye open and checking daily.
Guess I'm a bit paranoid.
Checked the water temp on my pot reservoires, it was 76 so I put 2 occilating fans pointing to them, one on each side.
Everything seems to be growing good except for a few burnt leaves ha!
Some plants are lovin the nute mix others are..... heyyyyy that's too much!
If It was too little I would inject a mix directly into the pot water, maybe 1 or 2 ml or less.
Micro manage it. But these need less and not much I can do about that.

I'm liking these lil plant staulk benders, I used 3 more on LSD cause she's a beast of a plant.
The others are still in bush stage not needing any adjustments yet.

I may have to give those things a try, I've had a different approach to controlling them and if I go to far or too fast duct tape does the job..now with a million and 2 uses.

I use LST clips in almost every grow.
Just put them on the other day.
They sell ones with adjustable angles but mine are fixed.

Week 1 in Flower
Well officialy it's tomorrow but tomorrow is a busy day for me.
Eclipse path goes right over us in Niagara Falls
I am grill master and got 2 racks of baby back ribs to grill.
Sunny today, hope it continues tomorrow too!
Next one is in 2044 I hear.
I partied last time we had a partial and it stirs something up in ya.
Primal and gets you excited like a cave man thing I guess lol.
Dragging out my boom box and rollin some mighty big smokes.
I'm quiting drinking booze so maybe one beer or two.
NASA astronauts in town along with 1000,s of tourists by the Falls.
Can't take pic's cause I don't have the camera filter.
But will be a fun time!

Plants are doing ok and coming along fine.
Oh there is always the problem child but it's not a biggie.
My problems will start in wk 3 lol they always do.
Tiding up the room and double checking all the stuff I need to.
I turned the light up to 100% to see how that goes.
It's at about 16" but closer to some and farther away from others.
Getting an even canapy at this point is not gonna happen but they seem to be getting healthier.
So not stressing this time about all the minor details just letting it go where it wants too.
Nutes at 620 PPM and PH is 5.8 but in the trays it's higher 6.2 not sure why but oh well.
Rez tanks are over half full with one clear and one not so clear but letting it ride till it gets low
then I'll wash it out clean and re-fill with fresh.
Trying to keep lux between 55-65 with leaf temp at 74-77 degrees.
Turned off humidifier with humi on the rise.
Turned on more fans to counter it. (Rained the last 2 days and my intake is from outside air.)
I now have 4 fans running, 2 small occilating pointing at the trays, 1 6" occilating midrange and
1 8" oc with natural wind going with the exhaust set at 5 for now.
I will be putting a de-hummi in there pretty soon at this rate.
Temp in the room is 81 with 43% RH not too bad this morning.
There were some damaged leaves I removed. They looked burnt from too high nutes, I think.
Probably started feeding them too early with the rich soil I used this time.
Pro-Mix/compost/worm castings+other stuff.

Bummer!
Cloudy here, too much to see anything where I live.
I suppose I could have walked to the falls but naaah.
It did get real dark of course for about 3 mins and was spooky wierd and the birds
all started to nest in the trees, which was nutty to watch.
We had a BQ and it was ok but seen more on tv than in rl.

I was out walking my cat through the woods and out onto a neighbours work yard, I could here the birds singing and it got real dark in our back yard ( park I call it) down the hill in the trees on our way back, I snapped a few shots of him without fking with the auto settings on my camera.
