Aberration Goes Ker Bloom! - Perpetual

[Aberration]

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

I'm seriously considering a 'feed, feed, flush/feed' rotation.

I forgot to mention how far it is to the trimmers' place. About 25 miles. I go farther going to work every day. In fact, I dropped in today, and G13xGB.1A has lost a lot of volume. I may be looking at sub-4 oz on this one. I haven't dipped below 4 oz since January last year. Hmmm. I think it may be that G13xGB needs to be bigger before it goes into bloom. Or maybe that one just didn't have it.

Woot! I finally got a new Volcano to replace my old worn out one. And the new one is the digital version. It will be nice to have the option of using the vape again.

The 25,000 btu AC has gone wonky. It's 82F in there. I need help to move the 12K though. It drops into the 70's and rises to 82 again when the compressor stops. They will have to limp along until tomorrow.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

By the way, G13xGB.1A produced 147 g, so that's 5 oz + 5 g for ounce-counters. Not bad, but a tad low. I want 6 oz per plant consistently. I got 9-1/2 from the last one.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

I transplanted L2 (Lavender) into a 5 gallon pot with myco. She will be joined shortly by L3 and they both get tossed into bloom. Just as soon as I mix up another batch of soil.

The trimmers are unavailable at the moment. PS.1E harvest is delayed until tomorrow night.

BD.1J is now H-20, so she is only 10 days from flush. She is blasting along. It's awfully warm in there still. Still working out why.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

I love this journal, it is exactly how I was planning to do mine with the level of detail. If only I had more time. Anyway things are looking awesome, can't wait for PS harvest pics. I've got some new stuff up stop by if you get a sec.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

Real quick dumb question Ab, when you watered your small veg on the 8th, to saturation. Then you watered 2 today later, late last night, to saturation, was the soil still a little moist?

I am trying to apply your aggressive organic feeding schedule to grow (full line of earth juice products) and am just a little concerned about over watering. I am growing in ProMix HP, so it is a very soil-less airy medium.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

Thanks. I did take down PS.1E tonight. While I was out, I had a long conversation with a couple of local growers. I think I need to adjust my nute regimen and increase my size going into bloom just a bit. I think I've gone too far in my downsizing. My production is down just above 1/4 lb per plant. I liked 6-8 oz each a lot better,

In any case, I should have the PS back from trim/dry in a week or so. When I get it I will take dry bud pics of it, as well as a couple other strains I recently harvested.

I know it isn't fair to tease and then make everyone wait like that, but I'm so swamped ATM. More on that in a bit...

I have been watching your thread. I like your setup, actually. And the video is great (once I get done waiting for my slow-a$$ Tor-ified network connection to pull it down - my problem, not yours). Great to have you around. You are another detail guy.

Yeah, It was probably a tad moist, but over-all they were ready. I try to control the dryness level of the pots by putting the plants into the right size container. If the pot is too big the soil will stay moist too long. If it is too small, it will dry out too fast. If I size my pots correctly and keep up with the transplanting on time, I can just feed them every other day without really worrying if they are ready for it. Does that make sense?

My mix is not as airy as yours I think, so I would expect yours to dry faster. I wouldn't worry nearly as much about over-watering as I would about under-watering. They put up with over-wet better I think. And with myco, Bt-i and Companion (Bacillus subtilis) there is much less risk of rot etc. Just don't drown them. And if they seem a bit lethargic or whatever from the over-doing it, back off and let them dry a bit longer every once in a while. When they are healthy, the roots will catch up and put you back on schedule in no time.

Great grow journal....really love the detail and the results are showing it. Have you ever looked into a mini-split A/C? I run one in my room and it works like a champ even in my climate area. Anyways....great job!

Thank you. I am actually looking into a mini-split system already. I need an 18K and 2 12K. I'm not sure I trust the cheaper brands, and 18,000 Btu gets expensive fast with the big names, so choosing one is turning out to be difficult. Especially since I don't find a lot of reviews. What brand do you use? How long have you had it?

Sorry to be so forward with the questions.

You know something Abe the best part isn't the growing(which is top notch): its your attention to detail. Many grower strive to get that, when it seems to come natrually. +rep my friend

Thank you. I hope to provide more interesting detail soon. I know my feed reports are fairly boring these days, and I haven't had much time for pictures. But I have a big expansion in the next few months and I hope to have lots to share that is more exciting. Right now I'm just trying to finish some other unrelated major projects that have been eating up my time for years now. I am so close to finishing them, and I'm getting antsy to start constructing "grow, phase two".

The thing is, the more developed my grow gets, both materially and in terms of technique and skill, the more I will automate. And the more I automate, the more boring my grow will be. Let's hope I can at least make it interesting along the way.

I'm awfully stoned and it's awfully late. G'nite all.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

I went with a 12000 btu ac/heat combo.

mini split air conditioner - ductless split air conditioner

A good friend of mine does commercial A/C installation and repair....he advised me the compressors are usually made by a couple different companies like mitsubishi or toshiba, and they are pretty efficient. You can spend a lot if you go with the inverter technology, but I stayed with a rotary compressor and 220 volt setup. There are a few systems you can buy that you can completely install without an HVAC person there to vacuum the lines, but I am only so handy and figured it would be best to pay my buddy to do that part. Hope this helps.

Peace !

So KK2.1B (Kaia Kush) went into flush tonight. 10 days to harvest. She dreaded out something awful due to the heat. BD.1J (Blue Cream) did a little too, but she weathered it much better. The young-uns didn't seem to notice.

Then I mixed up some soilless and did a priority transplant of L3 (Lavender), BD.2A, and BD.2B. L3 is going into the bloom room tomorrow with L2, and the BDs are queued up as the next pair into bloom. L2 and L3 are about 26" tall each, and the BDs are both around 18 inches. Seems right on target more or less. I'm going to push them a bit bigger than 24" before bloom. Not the 36-42" I was doing before, but closer to 30". Especially some of the shorter sisters.

Hopefully I will find the time to transplant a bunch more tomorrow night.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

Well, that sucked.

I went into the bloom room earlier and it was 89F in there!

So I totally freaked out. I started checking for reasons for it to be that hot. The AC seemed to be doing OK, but not great. Then I noticed the fresh air intake duct that feeds the cool air to the hot side of the AC was quite warm. Almost as warm as the hot exhaust duct. Zoinks!

So I crawled up in the attic to see what was up. I hate insulation. It was hotter than blazes up there. The exhaust had fallen and so had the intake, and when they fell they landed right next to each other. The cool air intake was pulling air almost right from the exhaust. So I ducted the exhaust directly to a roof vent, so none of the warm air will be in the attic. Then I re-attached the intake next to the eave vent where it was supposed to be. Finally, I re-mounted the gable fan to blow out.

At that point the temp suddenly dropped at least 25 degrees up there as the hot air was dumped and cool air started coming in thru the vents. That should change things significantly. But now I am all itchy and sweaty.

The temp has gone down to 87F in the five minutes since and the AC air seems colder already. I turned off two of the 600W lights and huddled the plants under the remaining 2 600s. I also adjusted the CO2 up to 2000 ppm. I know that is high, but the 200 ppm boost will help them cope with the heat. Hopefully that will get things to a manageable state.

Tomorrow I plan to buy a new 18K btu AC and some more ducting. I'll pull everything out, run new shorter and straighter ducting, box in the hot side and get it back to normal temps in there. Meanwhile I'm pretty glad there are only 4 plants in there right now and one is relatively young. Of the other three only KK2.1B seems overly affected. Her buds are dreading like mad. I'll get pics.

I wish I could afford a mini-split ductless AC, but I can't right now. Maybe in the fall I can come up with that kind of money, but right now I don't have it. :|

Besides, there is the whole installation issue. It takes a HVAC guy to do these normally, and the only one I know is family, but square as hell. In fact, he's very much the stereotypical intolerant redneck, who's obese to boot. I don't want him in my house; there's no way I'm going to tell him about my grow, let alone let him come in and set me up. I could learn refrigeration and rent the tools I bet, but I would be no better than a barely competent amateur.

In any case, I should at least have more time in about three weeks. My long-term projects should be done enough by then that I can spend a weekend on the grow. I want to clean house, re-run ducting, and basically just tune it up and clean it up. It has been neglected in that respect lately. I should also put the 12K btu AC (that is struggling at the moment in the bloom room) into the veg room, since I'll have replaced it. I think I need to dismantle the shelves I have been using and build a stand for the AC in it's place. That way when the AC turns on it won't vibrate the whole back wall of the room like the one that's up on wall brackets does now.

Sorry about the rambling. I guess I'm high plus I'm still a little adrenalized from finding those hot temps.

In the time it took me to to type that, it dropped to 85F. Nice. That's much better.

At least you live on the west coast. I'm still up and I live three hours in the future lol. But anyway glad to hear you have your temp situation back under control. Now I have to go to bed, harvesting tomorrow...

If you are ever in Eugene, Oregon, stop at any head-shop. The glass pipe was invented here. There are a huge number of glassblowers here that all make custom glass. We even have a well known glassblowing school here. You can get some pretty fantastic stuff here, and I don't just mean art glass. Lots of very cool handmade pieces for very reasonable prices. I have a number of pipes and bongs I have bought because they were just so damn cool.

I posted these pics here because I don't want to insert these pics directly into someone else's semi-related thread. I can just leave them a link to here. I doubt any of my regular readers will mind. These are just three pieces I bought last November and I had these pics handy.

The bubbler was $2?0. I love un-colored clear-glass pieces, but I'm in the minority, so it's actually really rare here. This particular one just happens to suit me perfectly in operation, feel, handling and looks. It took years to find something I liked this much.

This little pipe has a chamber at the bottom that might serve a few uses, but I bought it because it was $17 or something and it's perfect as an ash catcher. I just dribble some clean water into the bowl. Just enough to cover the inside bottom surface. Then I dry the bowl and load up. Any debris hits the water and sticks. Cheap and effective. And I won't be too terribly broken up if I break it, so it gets to travel. The coloring is less than optimal though.

This last bit is made to look like a corn cob pipe. It's also IMO a beautiful piece of inside-out work. I could live without the marbles all over, but it's a piece with style of it's own.

I have 15-20 other assorted glass pieces around here. I could swear I've posted some pics before but I couldn't find any.

For my regulars, and anyone who wants to join, I'll have a feed report as soon as I get it done. Which likely means another 90 minutes. :|

I have decided that I will return KK2.1B to the feeders after one flush. I want to let her go longer. She will likely fill out a little more and the high is delicious. I can let her go 12 weeks and she could come out at the same time as BD.1J, who is scheduled for 5/29 at the moment. She will almost certainly bulk out a bit more as well, which will improve the buds a bit I hope.

I just noticed that the small veg plant total has been way off since 04/25/10. Doh. I did something stupid with copy/paste I guess. I fixed it in my local journal, but I'm not going to try to correct any posts.

Also, I just realized that I have 901 posts including this one, and I have 984 pictures posted.

(Aberration > 1 pic/post)

I'm like the picture-posting version of 1g/w, lol.

Finally, I put L2 and L3 (Lavender) into bloom today. Here we go!
