Yeah this is some work hes done himself.
I tried to get the skunk cut too, but he was only willing to let go of the crosses hes done.
Dude didnt charge me a dime either, wouldnt let me pay him squat even tho shipping was 60 bucks!

you got a lot going on there. So you are primarily working with 2 4x4s in soil under a Vipar, did not see the wattage.

Alright. I got it finally!!
So i have a 2x2x4 that sits full of "junk" that i could use to start solo cups in.
I have a 3x3 veg tent with a vipar ks3000, 320 watts.
Then i have a 4x4 flower tent, with 650 watts, a 200 watt pl2000 and a 450w pl4500, both from Phlizon. The 4500 has added uv/ir?
Moe.Red said:
Are you doing a perpetual and keeping the flower tent fed, or are you using it to dry or something? What do you figure your current output is vs where you would be comfortable?
Click to expand...
Im trying to get back to 100% perpetual.
Not sure if you remember but just over a year ago i had mildew when we were all at the farm. That was the beginning of this downfall, i had a few pounds stocked up but because i had to kill everhthing it was 4 or 5 months before i had anything ready again and it completely wiped all my stock and i havent been able to catch back up since, plus i just tossed everything in the 4x4 again in October because of thrips. Was able to save the vegging stuff but i was jot smoking bug dung and carcasses.

Not sure what you mean in terms of "output vs where you would be comfortable" This is one of those "eli5" situations 🤣🤣
Moe.Red said:
What do you think your biggest bottleneck is? At a cursory glance, you should be able to easily harvest a 4x4 every 2 months. This may force you into a production mindset meaning less of a pheno hunt and more of sheer production.

Biggest set back is whenever i have an issue its always the 4x4 and it wipes out my entire tent so i lose all my flowering stuff😩
Moe.Red said:
You definitely have photons not being used in your flower tent that should be converted into THC rather than hitting the floor.
Click to expand...
So my 3x3 is usually packed wall to wall minus maybe 3 or 4 solo cups worth of space lol.
The 4x4 is a little open at the moment cause im waiting on 2 plants to finish up flower and then i have 3 more plants to get put in there so it should he pretty wall to wall in there too.

The solos on the tray in veg will be uppotted tomorrow or sunday so that tent will be full wall to wall again too.
 
Really need to get a bar light for the 4x4 before summer though, because those 2 quantums really crank the heat. Tent sits at 90 if the room is above 72 in the summer.
 
Understood, you've gotten some nut punches that got you behind.

I think your recovery plan is right on. Try to catch every photon you possibly can with a flower.

But

make sure you don't loose another harvest.

Can you tell me about your pest and fungus management? Doing things proactively with ipm? Got any concerns right now that need to be addressed?

How about drying and storage?

Yeah environment needs to be on point if you are going to pack a tent and get chunky flowers. Lights too.

You got a local used market there?

Yeah they were definitely some good ones too lol.

I just wish i thought of it 14 months ago after the mildew episode, because id prolly be on top now.

The only thing i have is 2 quarts of this. 20240119_192817.jpg So 16 total gallons of actual spray.
I use it once a week until the 4th week of flower. Says its safe til harvest and i have used it before til harvest but i prefer not too.
Moe.Red said:

Only concerns are still these fkn clones. Tossed 3 more this morning 😮‍💨😤
Running out of plant to cut or ill have to continue to veg it another 3 weeks.

Drying and storage isnt an issue, i have the 2x2 i can layer up and dry in plus a 1.5x3x4 cabinet i usually dry in and i store everything in mason jars.

With the right genetics you can do more.

This was also another issue.
I was only growing ilgm seeds for a while and theyre iffy at best so 🤷🏻

Right now im currently running DFG, GPS, Dutch Passion, and Compound Genetics Apples & Bananas i picked up off SweetLeaf. Also have my keeper pheno of sour x okie from untrustfull.
Super heavy plant but takes 14-15 weeks to flower so thats also a set back🙄

I have high hopes for sure.
This current run that just went in the 4x4 is DFG and Compound Genetics A&B.

Next run is gonna be 1 zaza, 2 straight jacket, 2 gorilla butter s1, and 2 coffee crisps from GPS.
1 strawberry cough from DP.
1 Triangle Kush x Wedding Cake from TF
For 9 total.
Might try and squeeze 12 next run and do 2 A&B with a sour.
 
Good stuff going on here G$!
Not sure how I've been missing this thread but better late than never!
Fire weed like that doesn't take much...Looks like you got some one hitter quitter there and that's always nice when the stash is low.
Clone doesn't even look like it went thru the mail! Crazy!
✌️🤘

Appreciate the kind words man!
I smoke way to much, and that stuff isnt the most potent, its really tasty with a very mellow high so i could probably smoke the entire plant and still be ok 🤣

That clone was crazy, but the 2 i got from SLG looked even better! I had to say it lol. 20230807_213003.jpg20230807_185100.jpg
Here are the ones from SLG^^

Gotcha. So many strains with similar names I get lost more often than not on who has what. 😵‍💫
I was thinking about my next grow and how it's gonna be almost all banana strains. Two are home bred and two from other breeders. The other breeders are Ghost and Cosmic Wisdom.
CW is closing shop in a few days after a long run in the genetics game and one of their famous cuts was Blueberries and Bananas. It rang a bell with something I read here but yours is CG's A&B so I was mistaken as usual.
Anyways, the local hydroshop here is selling seeds now and they got some of the last CW stock. I traded some GPS cuts for CW's Banana Twerps to add to my collection and grow the next round
 
Next batch is ready to be transplanted, maybe tomorrow ill get to that.
Gonna have to clean out the 2x2, ill need more room lol. 20240121_164309.jpg

This apples and bananas is so ready to go to flower but i wont send it til i have a rooted clone. 20240121_164508.jpg20240121_164515.jpg20240121_164547.jpg
 
Really gotta get these Apples and Bananas clones to root so i can get momma here into the flower tent before shes too big. 20240125_095234.jpg

If she gets any bigger ill either have to cut her down some, or flower it in the 3x3 by herself, cause soon she wont even fit in the 2 empty spaces i have in the 4x4 lol.
 
10 weeks on the sour, 3-4 more weeks to go 😮‍💨
It looks done but trichs are all clear, like sugar leaves are even clear still😳😳
Shes pretty and delicious but i hate how long she takes to ripen 20240125_210351.jpg20240125_210401.jpg20240125_210420.jpg
 
So, puffing a tester nug of the Mendels Aether x GDP.
Not at all what i was expecting to be honest.

Super gassy fruity earthy aroma, but man it tastes just like the smell of a freshly opened bag of soil....
Musty/moldy mossy/dirt. Hope a proper dry/cure makes it better!
But it is pretty strong stuff. Only took a few puffs and im stoned to the bone

Mine are the same way. I've nicknamed them all fat bottom girls. 😋
Don't even need labels for them they stand out from the herd so much with those fatty leaves.
Might be pure indica:love:

Mine blend in pretty well with the variety i have, i just know theyre the smallest plants as i started them a week later
