Hello fellow BudBuilders. This journal will catalog my run towards a third harvest. This grow, I've added a ton of upgrades so I hope it goes as smoothly as my last couple. Nearly every aspect and piece of equipment is new and improved aside from the tent and the AC/Dehuey in the lung room.

For this round, I'll be running Dalato, a cross between Dante's Inferno and Gelato #33. I've always loved the terps on some Gelato so I'm hoping the Dante's adds a unique twist.

Let's get down to it

Equipment:
SpiderFarmer 5x5 tent
UnderCurrent 8 gallon 4-site system
CLW SolarSystem 1100 grow light
ACI Controller 69 pro
ACI 6" exhaust fan with refillable carbon filter
ACI inline fan for intake from lung room
ACI ThermoForge heater
ACI CloudForge T7 humidifier
2x ACI CloudRay oscillating fans
2x BlueLab ph/ppm monitors
AquaticLife 4 stage RO/DI system
Active Aqua 1/10hp chiller
Alita 15 lpm air pump

Nutrients:
Lotus dry nutrients 3 part blend with Cal/mag
General Hydroponics RapidRooter
Plant Success Orca Liquid Mycorrhizae
Mr. Fulvic organic Fulvic Acid
0ppm RO/DI water

-------

I dropped some beans into some gro-plugs on Saturday and 3 days later, like clockwork, they've started to make an appearance. They're in an AC Infinity dome/light kit. Once they're healthy and established, I'll move the six best to netpots with hydroton. They'll grow there, in the same dome, until I've chosen 4 winners. After that, into the system they go.

First out of the gate...
1000014033.jpg
2 more were visible this morning so I expect to see a few more sprouts when I get home from work.

I'll be doing my best to build these 4 plants into 8 cola mainlines following a technique on here by @Jonnyboi84. I love what I've seen from his manifolds and expect to have similar results. I decided against the SCROG for this round because of the added plant sites. I have a root rot paranoia and I'd like to be able to remove plants individually if necessary. That's not doable with all the plants in a single SCROG screen. I haven't done this before, so I'll be sticking with my usual mentality of "Wingin' It".

Thanks for popping in. Feel free to ask some questions and/or dish out some advice. I'm pretty receptive and open to criticism. Wish me luck, folks.

✌️ & 💚

Let's gooooo!!!
 
you know i ain't gonna miss this!!! so what's your plan with lighting spectrums? ya know, even spectrums, CLW suggested, something else?

off to a great start!!!!
 
I don't even know where to begin so I'll start with CLW ratios and go from there. I got a lot of learning to do 🤣

thats what i did for the first few rounds with them . this time i'm growing even colors.. so far i'm not see anything that jumps out at me. i think it will have to be judged in the final weight.

Blue leaning spectrum

i believe he will be running these ratio's... maybe not this power setting but the color ratio..

Man hell yea lots to play with for ya this grow sure hope work catches up for you if it hasn't yet so you can get your full jollies on this one

Definitely be poking around for it
 
I'll be watching for sure, here are pics of both parent strains

Gelato 33, this was a clone I sold to squishy on discord but it's the parent plant of those seeds. He grew it out and shared a pic.

Dantes inferno #8 mile high dave cut, this one was reversed and pollinated the Gelato

Beautiful plants for sure. I've heard great things about that Mile High cut. Speaking of Mile High... I lived in Castle Rock CO for a few years. Do you know where I can find some Kitchen Sink seeds? That strain blew my mind and can't find any seeds to grow. I've grabbed every Sundae Driver strain on GPS hoping for something similar.

I got some popcorn too 😃.any info on plant morphology,stretch.yield .flowering time etc etc..

That shit better not be kettle corn or you're outa here 🤣

I'd be looking for the GMO crosses more if you're looking for those funky foul smelling terps.
Gmo is usually pretty gnarly smelling.
I'll keep my eyes out for Kitchen Sink beans too.
I hunt around a lot lol.

Seems it was made by Cannarado Genetics? I'll ask around on Discord. A lot of people on there trading/selling beans so someone may have it.

Yeah Cannarado made it. I've thought about the GMO also. I knew it was a stinky one and you're probably right. I just never thought about the GMO side coming through for some reason. They pushed Sundae Driver really hard at the dispo I shopped. It was a great strain but that Kitchen Sink was something else, man.

I found seeds on two overseas sites. Neither replied back after emailing them so I never sent any money.

It says seedsherenow has them but the site is under maintenance so I'm not 100% sure if they do.

Ground Zero is Zero gravity to PLC , Zero gravity is actually stronger terps than GMO and I have both the cuts. Zero gravity wad made with GMO and Oreoz. Everyone that had talked about the ZG has said it's straight burnt rubber and gasoline.
 
I'm in on this Grump.
You went from getting your feet wet to the deep end fast bro~!
Much success with this grow man~!
 
Nice man , I like the top off res, the more movement the better, do you mix in that res and steer your system or is it just fresh water
I'm a little flexible depending on my work schedule, but I'll usually do a full res change every 2-4 weeks. If/when I keep up on it, I'll mix the nutes with 50 gallons in the top-off res. Then I'll dump 36.5 into the lower resevoirs. After that, I'll add enough back to the top-off to bring it up to 35-40 gallons, leaving me a very diluted nute mix as top-feed.

I worked crazy hours with the Dip-N-Stix so I only did 2 full res changes during the whole grow. With her, I just made the nute mix as usual but I let it top-feed itself. I tried to keep her ppm as stable as possible so I was always top-feeding full nutes only doing res changes when I saw a significant rise in ppm.
 
Well my recirculating pump bit the bullet last night. I'm not sure why exactly. I want to assume it's because I just had it sort of sitting in there all caddy-wompus. Maybe burnt it up running at a funny angle? Who knows..

I have a spare Danner pump that I'll get rigged up today but I ordered another Orlushy brand. I went twice as big this time.

Spare pump is running and the system is circulating again. It's a temp fix until the new pump shows up. This spare is a little underpowered for the waterfalls but it's doing fine for now.

I think I clearly have an easy choice for the six that will move to netpots. I might do that today. Better to do it now instead of waiting. More roots in the plug just means more chances of damaging them.

Both. Here's the link to the original...
I'll put money your power switcher/ transformer went bad not the pump, but you are the electrician.
When new pump arrives try using the power switcher on old pump.
If it fires we can find cheap replacement switchers. Did this with DC lights and my Jeboa DC pumps.
