DrDoob's Continuous Carousel Of Cannabis: Hempy, MarsHydro, GROWant, Rx Green

[DrDoob]

Oh no! Sending good vibes your way for a less stressful day!

Thanks I appreciate it. The garage door seems fucked. There is a spool of cable that looks like a rats nest. I'll have to to crawl through a window to water them. The power outage knocked the cameras offline so I can't check on them but I'm sure everything is fine, cept the mechanical timer on the lights in the clone tent will be off by a couple hours. Thankfully the other timers are digital with battery backups.

The things we do for our ladies. Lol.

 

[DrDoob]

Yay $500 later and the garage door is fixed and I finally watered the girls. They were starting to look slightly droopy but otherwise great.

Veg Tent:

Nukehead

Unknown OG

1024

OG Kush

Clone tent (forgot to take photos again)

I think I was right about the OB1s. One is really looking male and one female. The other seedlings (1024xUbknown OG) are starting to preflower but it's still too early to tell.

 

[GROWant]

Things are looking good Dr.Doob .

Thanks, they really responded well to adding the second Growant light. I got two more when they went on sale to add to the flower tent too. .

 

[DrDoob]

I watered them yesterday but forgot to take pictures.

Veg Tent:

Nukehead, this one is a slow vegger for sure. Now some of the branches have gotten taller then the main top I expect more branch growth.

Unknown OG

1024 this one will be the first one in the flower tent I'm thinking.

OG Kush this one will be a week or so behind in the flower tent.

And the clone tent:

OB1 male going to have to trim this back some soon.

OB1 female

Unknown OG male fully flowering still.

1024xUnknown OG #1

1024xUnknown OG #2

Unknown OG it seems like it's starting to flowering which os weird.

1024 still in solo cup

And the last OG Kush

That's about it for now. I've been smoking a lot of the OG Kush, that stuff is awesome! I can't wait for the next batch.

 

[DrDoob]

I got a Magical Butter Machine for Christmas so today I'm making some coconut oil brownies and cookies. I used 15g of the 1024 outdoor seeded stuff and 2 cups coconut oil and 2 tablespoons sunflower lecithin. I harvested all the seeds first of course. Then decarbed at 210° for an hour, then used the 160° setting for four hours on the MBE2. Should be fun.

Man I can't wait to see the 1024xUnknown OG cross, I sure have a lot of seeds of it. .

 

[DrDoob]

I'm not usually one for edibles but let's give it a go!

 

[DrDoob]

Brownies were okay. I'm not a good judge of how strong they are but I did sleep pretty well. I woke up at 3:30 as usual but was able to go back to sleep within minutes without smoking. When I woke up in the morning I wasn't in a very good mood. I'm going to give a few to the guys at the office and see how they like them.

The MBE2 was very easy to use. And fairly easy to clean. I was reading that a lot of top chef types are buying them to make (non-cannabis) herb and garlic infused butters that are supposedly amazing. I think that's awesome, I've got a lot of cooking herbs out on the patio, this summer I'm going to find the perfect garlic butter infusion. .

 

[DrDoob]

I finally got around to transplanting the four in the veg tent in prep to start moving them to the soon to be washed out and wiped down flower tent. They were pretty root bound, I think I waited a bit too long to transplant. They were in 6" pots and I put them into 12" pots. I have two sizes in between I think I'll have to use in this veg tent in the future.

My pictures are terrible as usual.

OG Kush

Nukehead

Unknown OG

1024

And all back in the tent tucked in for the long winters night.

 

[DrDoob]

The veg tent transplants look like they are doing great! Hempy transplanting is so easy. I'm going to let them go for another week or so then start moving them to the flower tent each week or so.

I ordered another mini tent for the cloner and any males/extras. I think having males in with the females in my now pre-veg tent is causing issues. It should arrive tomorrow.

Veg Tent

OG Kush

Nukehead

Unknown OG

1024

Here is the preveg tent I killed the OB1 male and the 1024xUnknown OG male. And chopped back the Unknown OG male quite extensively. I harvested as much pollen as I could. And I think a lot of flowers will still open in the bags I pit them in.

OB1

Unknown OG male

1024xUnknown OG I think it's too early to tell the sex but the other one showing male flowers already leads me to think this will be female.

Unknown OG this one seems to be flowering on 16/8 light cycle which is super weird cause the other clone in the veg tent isn't. I think it might be having the male in the same tent.

1024 still in a solo cup I really need to transplant this soon but I ran out of perlite. I ordered more but, I have some reclaimed that I'll have to eventually use.

And OG Kush

I guess that's it. Anyone see any issues I'm overlooking?

 

[DrDoob]

The girls in the veg tent are growing fast. I really need to get them over to the flower tent soon.

Unknown OG

Nukehead

OG Kush

1024

The clone tent is looking pretty root bound. I ordered some perlite but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm sure they will be fine.

OB1

Unknown OG male this thing is jacked. I don't think it will grow more. I hot lots of pollen and some F1 seeds so it's not a big issue, just disappointing that I never found a way to stop it from flowering.

1024 solo cup, this one needs transplanting the most it's been in a solo cup since Thanksgiving or so.

Unknown OG this is the one that's flowering even with 18/6 light schedule. It's not an auto flower because it's a clone and the one in the veg tent isn't flowering. The mother was a very early finisher, I wouldn't be surprised if it has some autoflowering genes.

1024xUnknown OG this one still isn't showing sex much but I'm pretty sure it's female. Once I transplant it Im sure it will be a fast grower.

OG Kush I have to trim this and move it to the veg tent it really wants to grow.

 

[DrDoob]

I got the new tent for the cloner and the perlite finally arrived, but I'm feeling sick. If I feel better tomorrow after work I'll get everything set in the flower tent and transplant the ones in the pre-veg tent.

The transplanted veg tent plants are growing very fast (except the nukehead is still slow). Just grabbed a quick picture.

I'm sending lots of healing energy. If it's cold-related try the ancient Chinese prescription of hot/cold showers. Start with hot, flip to cold for a minute, back to hot for a minute - keep going for a while. It'll knock just about anything out of the system.

The perlite finally got there? Good. I was gonna suggest chopping them back to the lowest node and letting them start again. That's what I did with the Devil's Carnival I'm prepping for harvest. It worked so much better than I thought it would. It was in a bigger pot though, and that may make a difference. I've had great success lately being more aggressive with trimmers. That scared me for a long, long time. Once I started it amazed me how well they do in hempy when you make them start over. I may try one as a reveg.

Feel better.

Your big OG Kush is a beauty Doob.

I might just have to do that if I still feel tomorrow. It's been a very trying week, I think I used too much energy trying to be rational in a very emotional situation and wore myself down. I'm going to smoke myself to bed early and hopefully feel much better.

Yeah I got a 4cu bag just sitting there waiting. I've been following along with your journal so I've seen your success with cutting them back, you and your garden inspires me. I've done it several times on a male I've been trying to keep around but I think he's a goner.

Yeah that OG Kush is awesome stuff, it's turned to a favorite. I am excited to get this new tent set up with the cloner and the flower tent fired back up.

Thanks or reading!

 

[DrDoob]

I feel much better this morning. I pulled out a nice nug of the Unknown OG, I've been trying to take better pictures so I figured this nug was worth a couple shots. Thankfully I did cause reviewing the photos I found a few seeds. I only pollinated one bud and I guess this is the one.

 

[DrDoob]

I got the new clone tent set up, but am too tired to open the bag of perlite to do the transplanting. I always make setting up those tents is harder work then it should be. I now have five you'd think I'd learn. I got two small lights in there I know they are more then enough for clones but I'd like to keep males in here too so I might move one of my mars 300 in here and replace it with a growant 240 in the pre-veg tent. I think that's too much light for the clones but the tent seems tall enough that I could elevate the cloner above the light.

And the Unknown OG male in it's new home.

 

[DrDoob]

Okay I don't have the ability to stick to a plan. I did get the flower tent fired up but I moved both the OG Kush and the 1024. They were just too big.

Flower tent

I opened the perlite and boy was it dusty. I went to Amazon and found some gold sifting sieves that fit on top of 5 gallon buckets. They work very similar to bubble bags but with larger holes. They arrive tomorrow and I hope will make perlite cleaning much easier.

 

[GROWant]

a lot of job LOL
Plants look awesome!

 

[SweetSue]

I never thought of the sifting screens until I'd already given my late husband's away. Isn't that always the way?

Somehow I missed that you had two of the panel's in your tent. That's because I didn't start at the beginning, and I beg your forgiveness. I say my tents are 2x2 but they're really 27"x27".

Ok... I went back and had a delightful read. Tead lost that bet on how long it took me to get here. He didn't factor in the holidays and how busy the other threads can be.

I find it so sweet that so many of you have action figures laying around and they so often find their way into the photos.

For rinsing the dust from the new perlite I use the largest strainer I could find at the dollar store. I rinse the perlite and dump it into a bucket or the pot I'm filling. I've gotten to be pretty good at not stirring up dust, but every time I do the job I wonder why I don't have masks.

I tossed out boxes of masks when my husband died. Geez....that's the second reference to culling things I then found out I needed. Lol! This is how hoarders start.
