Nice choice of beans brother I've got an ultimate purp in veg now

Thanks man, I am soo excited to get the Ult. Purp started, the finished bud cures to a vibrant purple with bright orange hairs looks amazing. Not to mention the amazing genetics. Super pumped!!!

I actually purchased the Bloom Box gutted (without the hydro equipement) for a fraction of the cost and it is brand new. The man who I purchased it from did it for the simplicity of soil growing. I have since called BCNL with a list of everything to replace and it will cost about $1100.00 to do soI paid $600.00 for it. After seeing what the 400 can do im not sure if it is worth it atthis point.

Hey Kraw, i've caught up.. 3 pages is actually a small amount to catch up on compared to some journals around here.

A question.. Did you buy your bloom box before or after your tent... I have a feeling you're going to say... before you bought the tent.

I have a newer model producer. And i bought 2 tents afterwards! Its nice to do a sog in a BCNL box, but all those plants are a waste of space! and a 400w bulb (times 2 in a producer. Only 1 400w HPS on the flower side of Bloom box right?) is hardly enough to do the job for them.

Dont get me wrong. I do like my Producer (sort of..), but i do not like the lack of vertical growing space, the difficulty in exhausting the heat from the box, as well as getting cold air in.

Thats why i have 2 tents now. one 4x4x6.5 and an 8x8x6.5 They rock!

Your absolutely right, I purchases my BB before my tents. I have 2 tents but am only using 1 currently because the other is a 11`x11`and won`t fit in this basement. I love the tents as well, the quality is better, the quantity is more, its hard to justify the $4000.00 they cost when you can invest around $1000 on lights ballast tent carbon subber ect ect..

QUICK UPDATE

I never mentioned this in this journal, but I had 3 BC Bud Depot God Bud plants outside this year. I didn't make a big deal about them because we have had a very rainy, cold, short summer here and it hasn't made for big outdoor plants. These guys still had 2 to 3 weeks to go but lows overnight have been reaching as low as 4 and 5 degrees Celsius. Mind you made for some nice lavender and purple colours on the leaves. I chopped these 3 down and I'll have a few pics to show you guys.

I also chopped down my 2 Rockwool Great White Sharks as the trichomes where showing around 5-10% amber.
I picked up some Fungus Gnat spray, I haven't been able to find the stuff KJC recommended, yet.
I also added General Hydroponics Floralicious Plus to the menu, to bring out some amazing flavour and aroma.

That's about it for now, pictures are still in editing, hopefully I will have time to upload them today, thanks for tuning in...

Unfortenatly I have not been paying much attention to this plant an it is riddles with male pods. I immedietly removed it from the tent and put it outside. I have been on the lookout for signs of hermies in the chemdogs I have in the tent, everything looks good so far.

Thanks buddy, you didn't miss much.This is a perpetual grow so every few weeks I am able to harvest 2 - 4 sometimes 6 plants. The original harvest actually took place before I started this journal. So not to worry Antics, your just in time, and welcome.

 

[Antics]

Im envious. I wish I had the space for a perpetual grow. That's truly the best way to do it.

 

[kraw420]

First to start, I will show the few pictures of the outdoor BC Bud Depot - God Bud harvest I mentioned.

This is the bag I transported the freshly cut, stinky buds in to trim at home.

 

[kraw420]

The lavender and light shades of purple present in these photos was caused from the overnight lows of 4 and 5 degrees celsius we've been feeling.

 

[kraw420]

These are some of the harvest shots of trimming and what not, and eventually onto the hanging buds.
