Wow, very nice, do you run your lights 18/6 through the grow?Auto cinderella ready for harvestView attachment 77334View attachment 77335
Snow???? No!!!.....its too early to hear that word, its just October. I shiver in anticipation of it coming our way. I keep my car idling at Tim's every chance I get, just to do all I can in the global warming movement.Yes 18/6 will harvest on Wednesday > Snowing all day today wont last suppose to warm up to 18 on Wednesday thats when i will harvest.




Is that Ghost getting comfortable? Looks a bit like our boy Dusk hes the smallest of our 3 and a lot of fun. I'm glad to hear your wife is mending up okay. Still a weeks hospital stay shows the severity of the injury and there's going to be long recovery time. I aches thinking about going through something like that at our age now.Harvest Day!
This was a good one, It got me back on track, I think.
The Athena nutes made life easy for me to concentrate on any problems with focus.
I will add the PK to my nutes next time, it's a bloom supplement, other than that, they worked perfectly for me.
I ended up with 4oz of bud. I think that is pretty good for the rocky start the plant had.
The final product looks really good.
I'm happy with this grow and am looking forward to the next much larger grow with Athema nutes.
I never had such ease of growing in the Auto Pots.
No problems with dirty nute water, films or clogged filters.
Never had to clean out the tank but did wash out the tank filter 2 times, for the heck of it.
I did adjust the light height a couple of times but kept it at 100%. (MarsHydro TS1000 240w)
I used the Spider Farmer Glow30 supplimental side lights (30w), Glow80 Deep Red Spectrum (80w)
and UV 45" lights (30w) for this grow. UV's were used the last 3 weeks, Reds used all the way through.
I do think they helped but not sure how much, the buds came out beautiful and lots of em.
Buds were large all the way down, I have no popcorn to speak of.
Good terp coverage as well.
I might change some lighting next time and only use the Reds and UV's the last 4 weeks of flower.
And would definetly do something to kill the bugs in the Coco Coir befor planting.
I made a mistake of over nuteing it by putting to much bloom and not following directions lol well
I have problems with following directions, that's why my wife yells at me hahaha.
The plant was so heavy with moist tight buds I got worried about mold and used 2 occilating fans in
the hanging room and dried them out a lil too fast - 7 days.
Curing now in grow bags with Moiscon RH 62% humi control pack in there.
Wife Update: She doing well, called me last night and sounded real good.
She might get a room today so then she will have a phone.
But they might keep her another day where she's at (Observation Room)
till they release her. I'm hoping to find out more today.

Nope that's Shady , Ghost is hard to get a pic of, she disappears fast.Is that Ghost getting comfortable? Looks a bit like our boy Dusk hes the smallest of our 3 and a lot of fun. I'm glad to hear your wife is mending up okay. Still a weeks hospital stay shows the severity of the injury and there's going to be long recovery time.

You got the whole 9 yards with lighting eh? lol. I like the far reds but they are tricky to use. I've tried a variety of ways with them and this last run I only used in Veg up until flip for 15 min after lights out and they stretched so much I had to shut them down and I still grew out past my lights, multiple times.
I think the reds really help expand the leaves and stalk but when and how long to use them for is tricky to figure out. The same in flower, I've tried different timing with 15 min after lights out in flower to help extend the lights on time to shorten flower days. Not sure it helped much to shorten but they did mature well.
Talking about this I may add one into my veg tent with my new sprouts. Ya I have a far red puck just the right size...lol ....its going in for 15 min at lights out with my 10 day old sprouts that are thriving now.



















I love it, lol.. Black Friday gotta haver mode...I bought a scrollsaw, and 3 fans for the price of 2 from Mars now I have 2 sitting in their box taking up space. I looked at new lights too but my tents are full of lights, I looked at the UV Blues but didn't bite, I was close but...Been awhile
I'm chillin' and taking care of business.
Taking good care of her and everything is fine here.
I'm bored tho and achin' to get back into it.
But cannot do that right now.
That don't stop me from planning it.
Black Friday was my chance. Oooooh I'm feeling weak.
Like the Godfather, it's an offer I can't refuse.
Sooooo I did it!
Brought a new light and some other goodies!
My old FC4800 works great and I was thinking of retiring it to a back up, if ever needed.
Which I do not really have atm.
1st I went to SF, they offered a discount of 8% off a nice light (SF7000 650w) with controller and free grinder for $509 -8%
I added on a 4 tier plant stand $107 + $509 = $616 - 8% = $566 + the light came with a controller in the pkg. deal.
I thought great deal and proceeded to checkout.
Not to be.....After much hassle because they blocked the extra 8% by putting in another discount of .05 cents
and they would not remove it.
Not to happy at that point (understatement) and went looking at MarsHydro.
Found a light there WoW!
MH Smart Dimmable FC-E8000 BridgeLux 800w Led Grow Light
with Smart Eviromental Control Sys Monitor Temp, Hummi, Co2, PPFD ($134.99)
I added on a 6" clip fan ($39.99) and Iconnect smart controller ($8.99) (I didn't know one came with it so now have 2 of em)
Total $599.36 - $30 discount = $569.96
All discounts went thru and they also sent me a gift pkg. of a 4 layer Mesh Herb Drying rack w/ prunning sheer (22.99).
I was really happy about that buying experience. Then I seen those IR lights I don't have.
I have the Deep Reds and UV's so why not? lol
They were on sale of course! $63.99 at the time but noticed I have points to use 28000 or something like that.
That took $28 off and I got the IR30's for $35.99 a good deal, I brought them too.
Now that FC8000 EVO light will do sunrise and sunset and be controlled by an app on my iphone too.

I don't think I will use Co2 tho, at least not yet. This light is BIG, much larger than my old 4800. (I think it's 44"x45")
Some kitty cat pic's over the last month. Ghost is getting bigger and less scared of me.
She likes chicken and I feed her a few peices every night after Sky n wifey go to bed, Ghost hops up on the seat
next to mine and waits for chicken hahaha. But still won't let me pet or touch. Like MC Hammer "Can't touch this"
But will come back to me for another piece of that chicken.
Now when I open the front window curtains, she jumps up and lays there looking out.
Lil bit by lil bit. I figure when she out grows out of the kitten stage, she will pacify.
Panda always acting cute. Panda and Shady looking out the my bathroom window at the birds pecking the wild berries on that vine.

Not sure when I will start the next grow but thinking on 2 strains and 8 plants total w/ Two 4 pot AP Systems.
I also brought the SF AP system ( it has only one valve for the Four 5 gal. cloth pots and might use it )
Crap my box is probably illegal with the extra stuff I added to it.I love it, lol.. Black Friday gotta haver mode...I bought a scrollsaw, and 3 fans for the price of 2 from Mars now I have 2 sitting in their box taking up space. I looked at new lights too but my tents are full of lights, I looked at the UV Blues but didn't bite, I was close but...
I'm so loaded up electrically I'm afraid another watt or 2 will blow a fuse. Each time I plug something in I wait for a few sec before I'm sure it will hold. My 1250Watt heater takes up too much of my free amperage. I have it on the 750Watt mode but its still a lot on 15 amp fuses with 900w in lights,fans,humidifier split on 2 circuits Then there's the Dehue I split with my veg tent on another. When I plug my wet-vac in shes close to maxed out.
I need a full service change, If you have a few 15 Grand extra kicking around...lol..... Elon, Elon...ELON... I may have to try him at home....lol
I'm being bugged about getting a heat pump, we can get them free ( because we qualify as poor seniors in our old home) but there's not a watt to spare and we'd need more than 1 in our odd shaped home.The Elect upgrade would cost more than the heat pump so I don't think we qualify for that & a pump
They're trying to push us onto 1 power source, ELECTRIC..but we and many others don't have the capacity to do that. Our last oil bill was $550, it'll last 6 weeks the next will be close to same but the Jan/Feb/March cold months it'll go to $700/6 week and we run about $400 electric, with my lights, heaters, Chiller ( off now)....We get notices from some Efficiency group telling us we're double our neighbours in similar sized homes and ways to cut back on usage....lol.....we'd be all same without my grow....Nosy bastards!Crap my box is probably illegal with the extra stuff I added to it.
Last I heard it would be $3500 to change it out, but that was 20 yrs ago haha.
I got a guy that would do it for less but I'm kinda shy on that route.
I brought a new 6" exhaust fan to replace the one the broke and they did the same thing, blocked my discount.
I don't know what's going on with them but it seems I'm on a black list.
I think after all the discounts from MH I got my 800w light for $400, now that's what I call a deal.
800w is alot compared to the 480w light I have used. I also had 2 140w lights on at the time for side lights.
I usually do not use full power. When I did, I usually get seeds, almost every time.
I have to go by LUX reading and try to use a high of 65k 75k but no higher.
And I have a problem of not knowing the proper height, so I vary from 12" to 16" depending on the overall height of the canopy.
I really brought this light to modern up my grow room and for the distribution of light to the outside edges of the canopy.
Last time I did 8 plants it was a problem getting them all into the best light.
I'm hopin' this light will heat up the room so I don't have to use my oil heater to much.
This light does not fit in between the beam and furnace pipes, where the FC4800 did, so it's about 4-6" lower
But It's size covers a much larger area!
Ya they are trying to force heat pumps on us here in NY.
I won't get one ever. I heard they are not good for really cold weather and use tons of electricity.
I had oil when I moved here and it was a nasty way to heat the house.
It broke and the landlord put in a gas furnace.
Loved it and after we brought the house + 10yrs or so, it broke.
We brought a new one and hope it lasts forever haha.
Cheapest way to heat by far, at least it is here.
I would like to buy one of those water heaters that give you endless hot water on demand.
Maybe some day.
I'm gearing up for a run but in no hurry cause there is so much to do on this property aka "The Ranch"
I'm really strong on LSD, it's been my go to smoke so far. That's one strain I want more of.
Not sure of the other yet. Might even buy one. My seeds are getting old.
I need a smoke, later gater.
They do the same with me, in my mail, telling me I'm using twice what my nieghbors use and how to use those special light bulbs haha same everywhere I guess it's in the water. But wow that's higher than what I pay! Mine is on a budget plan and every month it's about $150 with my lights on $195.They're trying to push us onto 1 power source, ELECTRIC..but we and many others don't have the capacity to do that. Our last oil bill was $550, it'll last 6 weeks the next will be close to same but the Jan/Feb/March cold months it'll go to $700/6 week and we run about $400 electric, with my lights, heaters, Chiller ( off now)....We get notices from some Efficiency group telling us we're double our neighbours in similar sized homes and ways to cut back on usage....lol.....we'd be all same without my grow....Nosy bastards!












That's like my shower brush but it has a longer handle. I use one side for my front side and 1 for the back side, Works great to get that deep crack grime.....lol...
Merry Christmas to everyone here and Happy New Year with all the best to come.
Every night I settle down and smoke one or two with a beer or two and a shot of vodka.
It's my routine and I enjoy this time watching tv shows that I like.
Well, I started to notice my roaches started to disapear in the morning when I looked.
I figured, maybe I put it somewhere else.
Nope!
I put one down last night and it disappeared.
Lite another and shortly after it disappeared.
WTF I ain't that high yet!
I found a short one and put it in my ash tray and watched out the corner of my eye.
Ah Ha!! Ghost, the lil bugger started to sneak up, real stealthy like, and proceeded to snatch that roach out of the ash tray.
Dam, she is a thief !! I could not find where she takes them tho.
Someday I'm going to find a large stash. hahaha So far about 5 are missing.
I took some incriminating pic's to prove it in a court of law
She's guilty as heck!
Damndest thing I ever seen how she is relentlessly persues my joints.
I chase her away and scold her and she goes and lays down on the rug and looks at me.
When I am not paying attention she creeps up to steel it.
1st pis shows joint in the silver tray, seconds later in the 2nd pic, the joints gone!
