This is unusual for us, 2nd time now in 30 years. My wife said to me what happened to that sand we had in buckets, yep that was about 20 years ago. where are those buckets???? lol WFKnows I can't remember last weeks diners, Where are those buckets of sand?...lol...I can't stop laughing. She had a straight face too like she expected an answer.....lol...just too funny.

Big work day for me when I get at it. Pots all need cleaning, refilled and plants transplanted. Tent has to be cleaned out, fans cleaned. salvage some clay balls. I bought the air bases so I don't need as many but I'll still use a few around my airdomes

I need a break, 30 min straight. I have the results of my fan grill air dome test and I scored an A. it worked well I should get a gold star for this. The roots are a bit off color from sitting 2-3 days without plants attached and no water I think but they filled the grill. My 4 " net pots work as well

We get that too. Not as bad as your driveway this year though. But our steep roof usually causes our stoop to get iced over one or twice a winter from melt. That’s why we have the salt and sand mix.

This is after it was shovelled clean twice.

We also have three inside sidewalks and the street sidewalks to shovel.

Then the shovel broke.

But we had another so we could do our flat roof which was leaking down the chimney again.

The snow was about a foot at the edges and up to three feet against the peaked roof.

I’m so done with winter.

Hope your able to manage yours. The ice looks nasty. I bought a propane cane torch years ago for the stairs. Kind of sucks as it’s slow but sometimes it’s all that works.

I know we have a bag in the garage but you think I could find it? People move stuff so when it’s time to get them…good luck finding it.

The bucket of sand/salt I keep near the garage door because of past issues.

Wow. Crazy root growth. More like hydro they way they bulked up at the bottom.

I've been making my own air domes with 3" & 4" net pots and I noticed that the bigger the better so I tried that fan grill and it worked great. I bought the air bases so that grill won't work out but the net pots should be fine

Feb 23
A big day for me today, I got all my autopot trays and valves clean, all the lines cleaned out or new waterlines installed. I'd been soaking the pot socks the last 2 days in water and citric acid 1tbs/gal does the job. I installed all the pots with socks on, water lines hooked up along with the air lines. I'd transplanted everything into the AP's yesterday that were still in 1 gal pots. Reservoir cleaned and has been filled with a new load of nutrient's

3 at the back are all fems, Critical Kush, gassy Cream cake, & 1 of my own from a nanner seed from my last run. I hope.... All 6 up from are Triangle Death Skunk Regs in split pots. I'll give these plants 1 more week in veg then flip them March 1st. I intend on tying these girls down once I know where all the girls are

All is good,no new problems today. Red light is on. I saw these tomato cages today in my garage and a soft thud went off in my head. They used to be dings,......anyways Its a good time to use them with my plants still in veg. Look at me all proactive and sht!. I'm quite proud of myself...lol...

They're feeding from the trays now and the small ones should jump in size quickly. All 3 at the back are fems and the 6 up front are regs in split pots

We’ve got one looking that good, if it’s not male.

I’ve thought about the tomato cage but never used one on cannabis, yet. Saw a stackable type we could 3D print that we might try later, once the printer is fixed.

Hey Pipe nice idea and you can cut them out to remove after they served there purpose.
Did that for an outside plant once, never thought to use inside.
You using those deviders from AP? I am thinking of useing them, I only have one set atm.
I wondered how the grow turned out using them. Did you get a good crop, since each plant has less grow space.
I am going with 6 pots (4, 3.9g - 2, 2.4g) this time but might be good time to use em if they work good.
I just ordered some seeds from OCS, Blue Dream and White Truffles.
Your veg looks great!

Ghost is starting to spray but can't touch her so can't catch her and that's a problem haha.
I didn't know females could but google says yep they sure can.

Yes those are AP dividers, You could use $store plastic trays cut to size. The AP dividers have a base that doesn't fit Air domes so the bases are useless to me. I use the dividers but any plastic cut to size would work as well. The air dome bases work well and with the dividers I can have both cells getting air.

All 6 of mine up front could be male, 4 are growing like they are. Big and fast with thicker stalks. I'll find out in a couple weeks I guess. I'll flip on the 1st

March 1st.....Flip night. all set to go. The 3 at the back could use more time but off we go. spiderfarmer lights down low to give me 15,000- 16,000 across the top at 90% power. The Mars is giving me that at 2ft above and 50% power....Go mars

Is the mars better?

 

[Pipecarver]

Is the mars better?

It has more power or my 3 year old SE3000 have lost some oomph. Mars at 50% giving me 16,000 lux at 3 ft from tops. Both Se3000 are within a foot and almost maxed out to give me that and for coverage I think 2 FC 4500 EVO's would be nice coverage in a 5x5. 1 FC4500 would replace my 2 SE's

We moved the to bigger ones to the 3x3 yesterday but they still need a week or so to fluff out and get a bit bigger. Your looking good PC.

There are 4 Triangle Death Skunk up front I suspect are males just because of how they are growing, strong thick and fast. I hope not it'll leave a large gap up front and cut my harvest way down.

With 6 reg seeds germinated I put them into my 3 pots with the dividers. I knew I'd get some males and my history with regs has been pretty sad. I went 2 for 7 one time and 2 for 5 another I'm hoping my odds spin around and I get more fems than males but the pots don't look that way now. I'm just paranoid really but with my luck and regs I gotta bad feeling about this.....

We went to the gym again today but I forgot my before workout joint. So luckily there's a Gov pot shop just across the parking lot from the gym. I bought a 3 pre rolls $18 a pack of some French Cookies.
I'm an Indica smoker and have rarely ventured into Sativa's This was supposed to be 33% pure sativa.....what ever that's supposed to mean. After smoking it I felt like I needed a joint. I normally smoke 2 anyways but still. I correct myself the tube says 32.5% thc....French fkin cookies...ah well....I was chattier in the gym today.....lol

We are still waiting to see sex. Pretty sure the big one and it’s clone are female. But don’t know for sure yet…

 

[Pipecarver]

lol...the waiting game......any day now.... I have 6 all looking good and some are going to die early....its a sad fact but there's no way I'll go 6/6. Ideally 1 male per pot and I can haul it out. remove the divider and add more soil but I don't have that kind of luck....here's to hoping

Over the last three days things have changed. My gutt was right…the best plant is a female, so the clones good too.

Clone


2 out of 4 so far…

Hope you get the 6 for 6!

Sexing day, not as much fun as you'd think. 2 males so far. I pulled them out of my tent for a good look and 1male per pot so far. I'm iffy on another pot with 2 plants in it so I'm not pulling them today

 

[Pipecarver]

March 13,
More nuts, dam, not good. that's 4 males out of 6 seeds. That's a lot of soil,light,nutes,space,time gone. I swore off regs years ago but I thought with my splitters in the pots I could try again. 2 out of 6 sucks. I swore off regs at 2 out of 7......fkem...I'm off regs again. I hope these are nice fking plants....ooops my grrrr is showing, I'd better smoke 2

Looks like a PITA.

We’re getting the liquid sunshine here. Been a weird year. This looks like a miracle march for rain. The Sierra are getting pounded with snow as well.

I always purchase feminized seeds not wasting my time and costs on regs.

 

[Max]

Yeah I gotta like put in 30 just to get 6 with my luck…no thanks…

 

[GoodShit97]

This is why I start 50
Then my last batch, 8 of 10 were female lol
Id rather pull males than pluck herms any day

 

[TomH]

I love the mystery of using regs, but I’m too old to waste time on growing boy plants only to have to pull them and start anew.

I like fems, I’m now more impressed with autos too after my last grow.

I had for years but with the split pots I thought I'd give them a whirl. I was thinking plant 12 regs in my 6 split pots I'd be good but my odds of getting 10 males and 2 fems are not worth me trying.

I still have 5 fems growing but my tent is no longer full

Over time (5 years), I have grown regs a number of times, my success ratio was actually surprisingly good. Probably 75% females. I figure the odds are more and more out of my favor!

Its made me rethink clones but that takes 3 tents and I'm not sure I could get another tent in my room. I ran the same gene's for a few years, just cloning and flipping moms but it takes 2.5 months to flower making my clones 2.5 months old and out of space in my holding cell and summer high humidity is tough to flower in so if timing doesn't work out my plants got too big to handle.

Thinking on it though and I could count on all fems. I could easily do 4 in my 3x3 and build a small clone box. I have the light...big hmmmm......good talk..

 

[SSgrower]

I have 4 tents in a 12x12 with a 4x4 in a alcove,wierd yea but it works. 1 more,maybe? Cheers,ss
