First of all..lets put credit where credit is due..This site is amazing..with very high..ly intellingent growers who bend over backwards to help thier fellow new members. Cudos to all members..that has helped me and the ones who i see help everybody else. I have recieved alot of help with trying to transition from outdoor to inside. My trial run i feel has done exactly what i needed in getting my new LOS setup and stable. New Members who read this..instead of posting a question and starting a new thread..Try the search icon for what you what (upper right corner on 420s black logo bar), whatever your question.. i am pretty sure its been asked before. Please read the journals.if you decide to go LOS whether you buy premade or decide to make your own soil invest in a worm farm. I have had one for about 2 yrs. Worms, castings and teas are very beneficial for your grow, also i make money off of selling worms and castings to local gardeners and growers. I was raised on a 1200 acre cattle ranch when younger, always had a stache somewhere. Also research different types of gardening styles. I use KNF ( Korean Natural Farming) style.
Update.. recieved another clone (Tropical cookies) to make a total of 6 plants. 4 clones and two bagseed. All plants are now in thier 5gal pots. Humidity has been dropped to 55%. If everything goes well next week might go to flower.

Week 5 of flower..cleaning tent revealed several issues that needs attention..1st humidifier was filthy..which could lead to mold or mildew issues.2.Yellow spotting and tip burn and curl, thinking calicium or phosphate.( This is probably due to choosing 5 gal. containers, i knew better..but i wanted to try 6 plants.) added 1 tbls per gallon of my homemade cal/mag +, eggshells and organic apple cider vinegar and molasses to feed 3. Blurple lights.. if you have lights that have a glass between led and plant, like these, Clean regularly...inside too..light defracts though dust, could cause hots spots in intensity which inturn could cause multiple problems, overstressed plants, slow growth, burned or spotted leaves, buds to hermie from heat..Some cheap ass blurples have little clear reflectors on each LED..which in turn need to be snapped off board to be cleaned between LED and reflector with a q-tip because the inside surface is concave and is not dust proof. 2 hrs of cleaning and Oh.. another note...EXTRA. care needed to snap off board and DO NOT drop refectors even a few inches from fingers to table, they have very little titties that break easily, had to super glue 4 of the 96 reflectors. DO NOT BUY THESE. save your money, get a better light. cleanliness is needed for efficient operation, these 1000W Sauhahy lights draw only 155w each from wall, if these are filthy inside, your probably are not getting the wattage or the spectrum needed. I cleaned these light twice though this grow. All feedings from here on out will receive 1 tbls per gal. of backstrap molasses. About half way though the week started noticing light burn on the maui, adjusted lights up 1in.


Week 6 flower while checking plants found seeds pods forming on maui, grabbed a large plastic trash bag carefully drapped over plant and removed from tent..did not see any bananas..so i think it was destined to happen, it was one of the bagseed that i started. I know tent and room is light proof. Inspecting others closely found that my clone 24k gold is also infected on lower colas it was to the left of the maui on the right side of it..my other clone tropicanna cookies also infected..the maui was the tallest of all. Removed all three..sucks..down to three. Reduced daylight hours to 11..30 min at dusk and dawn.

Delivered today..cant wait till the next grow.. one issue fixed..sp 4000
Now to tackle the humidity problem.

 

[Chief Stickyfingers]

Week 8 Power kush is done, day 58 harvested. One down two to go..both blackberry and carmello have 2 more weeks approx. Top colas are bigger and tighter than i expected out of these blurple lights with only 310w lower colas are not as tight but satisfactory these lights say 18 to 24in. above canopy tried that..just burned up leaves..
Seemed like the sweet spot was at 35in to keep from burning. Then i noticed not enough light penatration though plant. Lower buds just did not get enough light, small and larfy..def( ..more leaf than bud..).

 

[Chief Stickyfingers]

Week 10 harvested blackberry and caramello. Power kush dried out at 2.37 oz. . blackberry is the bagseed and you sure can tell..all leafy shit. Drying and curing will be longer. On Caramello i let it go a little longer for the CDB. While this is drying in the closet, i am going to tackle the high humidity during flower i had. my tent is exhausted into the same room as the intake, up to 4th week of flower everything was perfect until plants started transpiring.. like a whore in sunday church... had hell trying to keep it constant, pulled up all my cover crop defoliated the hell out of them. Had 6 days of rain could not get below 57rh during week 5. Week 6 and 7, i got a break and humidity outside stayed at 37 to 40rh Finished the grow, hoping and praying, Mother nature was going to stay in a good mood...Installed exhaust duct and a fan and hooked them up to controller. Now i guess i have a lot of cleaning to do for the next one. Also need to make up more LABS and cal/mag+. My wife stole my LABs to use on her flowers and asiatic lillys outside..

 

[Chief Stickyfingers]

Blackberry bagged 2.3 oz. , Carmello 2.83 oz. Carmello turned out quite a couch locker. Smoked about 2 bowls after dinner, kicked back in recliner to watch the news, 15 minutes later my wife is shaken me..i thought you wanted to watch the news..i just giggled and said, yup..I think Carmello is done...If all 6 plants would have made it to the end would have been nice, but Shit happens..and we all live and learn. New light installed, tent is clean, exhaust is working. The lillies love the labs, to bad they only bloom once a year. Now i just have to choose which strain is next. Thinking 2 Mimosa EVO and 2 lemonchello's.
May all your gardens be green..
And your bowl be plentiful..
