DC Rastaman Perpetual Indoor Outdoor Grow: Heisenberg, Mendo Breath, Peanut Butter Breath Etc

[DC Rastaman]

In the middle of a perpetual grow with the first plants in flower. Growing indoor for the Winter and will move outside in the Spring.

I will list what I currently have including the costs to give you a budget estimate for indoor DWC. I acquired most of the stuff over time and started 3 years ago and only purchased the tent, smaller bag of clay, 2 buckets, 2 net pots and the big lights back then and used old aquarium equipment. It worked so I expanded.

4Lx2Wx6H grow tent from random Amazon store - $60
ProFin 4 outlet airpump
2 - 300 Watt (60 - 5 watt) LED's from - $79.99 each

7 airstones random sizes - $20
50 ft. of airline tubing - $15
4 - 5 gallon buckets - $20

10 random size net pots - $50

Hope all is well in your world.

Is this grow still alive?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

If you need any help with posting photos, please read our Photo Gallery Tutorial.

I am moving this to Abandoned Journals until we get updates.

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.

Hey can you move it back to active? I was busy with work and family stuff but I have plenty of updates!!!

 

[DC Rastaman]

Sorry for the late off but I have some updates. Harvested both Heisenberg plants around 2 weeks ago and got 1.5 oz per plant. It is so frosty

The mendo breath is out of control and now 5 weeks into flower. The two small plants on the back wall are Heisenberg clones, the tiny plant is a papaya clone and last but not least peanut butter breath!

The pic is my full tent 2 days before harvest. I made a roll down screen out of insulation from Home Depot that works great! The trash bags block light from the sides!

Buds lost some weight and down to 33 g and 41 g of gooey Heisenberg. Next up is this monster mendo breath 4 weeks in flower!

Not sure if anyone is following but here is an update on the second round. The Mendo Breath plant is 4.5 ft tall from the top of bucket and 7 weeks into flower with 1 or 2 weeks to go.

This is a roll call on the veg side of the tent in the pic going clockwise starting in the top left:
Papaya clone - nursed this new year's day gift for 2.5 months but she only took off 3 weeks ago
Heisenberg #2 clone - 8 weeks
Mendo Breath clone - 1.5 weeks
Heisenberg #1 clone - 7 weeks
Peanut Butter Breath seed - 9 weeks
Mendo Breath clone - 3 days

Nice strains you are running.. What kind of lights do you use?

 

[DC Rastaman]

thanks!

I use 2 - 300W led lights for the main area and 2 FEIT Electric bulbs for cloning and early veg that cost $15 each. I like to experiment and now I'm growing the Mendo Breath with the FEIT lights and the plant grew to over 2 ft. in 6 weeks and is 4.5 ft tall now with around 1 week left til harvest and i am amazed how well these light work!

Nice man, mendo breath is one of my favourites. Hard to find though, where did you get yours?

 

[DC Rastaman]

Nice strains you are running.. What kind of lights do you use?

Thanks! I use 2 300W LED

Nice man, mendo breath is one of my favourites. Hard to find though, where did you get yours?

I found a few seeds last year in some bud from a local head shop and a friend who gave me the Papaya clone. The plant started smelling around 2 weeks into flower and it is skunky and funky!
