The Frustration Of Crappy Luck!

So I had a very unusual situation recently. Yes there is a happy ending.. I guess...

So in my last update you see hoe beautiful the new light and mover are. I am expecting good things.. I went in on Monday.. a few days after installing the mover to play with the delay. I was like man that is way to long... adjust it down.. still?... down to zero...?????? ummm this thing isn't moving.... Ummm... still no... Ok take off the light and inspect closer.... Wheels on the mover broke... Ok I know I installed it right... Spring loaded... blah blah.. worked three days.. 2 days... So I email Company I purchased it from.... Email back... Sounds like installed wrong... I email picks of install... Adamant that the mover was installed correctly with no substitutions for any hardware supplied... I get a call the next AM from the owner of the light mover company... Yes there was an issue with the wheels and they will send me replacements asap.. Other than it take a day to make them. And three days to get them to me... (I would have sent them fed ex overnight personally.) Didn't seem so asap to me... Plus i needed to rebuild a brand new mover... not too much time but...

So anyway today I reinstalled it all... I had to switch all my lights to cover the plants when the mover was down. So they spent a week without the adequate light really. I had taken out the PS1000 for fear of it being too much for any plants without a mover. (get back up parts.. Note to self)

A lot of work this week for not... But as of tonight i am back up and running normal...New setup normal...


Well sorta...

I went to pickup the final tub (1x8) for the last row of plants in flower. Then I can start maximizing the amount in flower. Well atleast increase it as they become ready for it... WTF do you mean it isnt in? not for almost 2 more weeks? Well that won't do.. no it wont... so try to get a 1x8 tray shipped... 150 bucks shipping... WTF ... So two 1x4's are on their way and they will just f in have to do... Sense some frustration?

So things are doing very well anyway... I am battling the gnats still.. The last week they seem to be worse... Just to add insult to the injury my huson spray broke so it became a pain in the ass to root drench them... GRRR So yesterday I bought a 1 gallon pump sprayer... Hopefully that will last longer than 2-3 months... Back tp every 3 days on the drench and I am going to get them this time... I gnatnix all the plants so I am not really sure how they are reproducing.. More diligent on the sprays again and they will be gone.


Ok really I'm fine....

Lets go take a look at veg....

So right after the pic's I moved the biggest one into flower..

Original Amnesia... Dinafem seeds if i recall...

The plan is that the big tub is the future flowers.... The solo cup tub is my projects clones... etc.. They are all manually watered and under less light. Kind of a pain but hard to automate these ones... maybe someday a drain and fill would work nicely... I like drain to waste so wonder if I could setup a pump fill,, pump drain... That way I could fill it for like 30 min they drain it.... Hmmmm Gonna hafta think up something... I like the idea (really just came up with it)

So veg is doing very well... I have 3 afghani's in big veg that i need to send to flower to sex them soon... So i cloned them and that is the first time cloning directly to coco that the clones took a beating... i think all three will live but I was certain they wouldn't. I'd hate to ruin my 100% streak! I have yet to lose any since the switch... Cmon little buddies pull through!!!!!!!

So lets switch over to flower....

I have two plants I will harvest tomorrow morning. A Fruit Punch and a BBHB.
The BBHB is two weeks early but I gave up on the strain and wanted to shuffle stuff around... Wanted the space... It hermied the first time as it was from a possibly beat up strain. I just didn't want to deal with it anymore... So it may be used for other stuff...projects not sure... I waited until it was something to chop.... but if the strain was clean it would have been worth having around...

Looks nice but it grew with deficiencies even though the other plants are all looking great.... I always have the issue I feed all my various strains the same PPM and feed.. So over time I will have to learn what strains are ok with that and continue those ones... Never an issue testing new strains for me.. Veg has new ones coming...

So now let's talk about the FP... It didn't finish well... for one it spent the last week with the light shuffle. But I did put it directly under one of them... But... I needed to string it up and with all that was going on I was not as attentive as I should have been. I did after a few days but right now i moved it so I could grab it in the dark tomorrow easily.. So it looks funny... But that sucker is tasty as shit! and I haven't smelled anything like it in my grows before...

Didn't fatten up as much as I expected but those damn crystals are so heavy they curled the leaves. Best crystals for me yet...Every nugget is solid solid but they all stayed what I consider medium sized. New strains are fun. I have another one like 2 weeks away. More clones... Hope it is a keeper....

Here is the other one...

NL from seed... Pineapple chunk from hermie seed....WW from clone... NL#5, Sour Diesel. umm what am I forgetting? It is getting hard to remember what is what so I may not single out plants as much like I use to ...

I am just glad that things are settling into the new room well. Once I have a few weeks under my belt with everything working well I will be happier. The move wasn't bad and I love the new room but those issue's where a pain. Fingers crossed that from here it will be nothing but big buds and more bud related projects.....

Thank you for coming by...

I am going to finish up with the group shots! take care!
