I gave up worrying about other people showing up.....started to just look at it as a working journal for myself.

go ahead, look back and see how many posts are mine in here lol.

probably pathetic, feels that way anyhow. kinda like talking to yourself in a crowded room. lmao

and remember....
have fun eh
 
i think what you mean is 18/6 as in hours on/hours off

good news getting it going eh. is your electrician a friend or what?

cuz i can tell you there has only ever been one person other than my wife to see the grow, and thats the buddy i built the aero table for. easiest way to get caught. or are you legal? i forget.

thanks for looking

Yes 18 hours on and 6 hours off?
The electrician I found on Yelp I think last year. He hard wired a motion light and fixed the electrical situation in the kitchen. I called him, told him what I was doing and he said sure no problem, $200.
It will probably be more I want 240 and 110 go to both sides of the room. The box is only 6' feet from the room so thats good.
So many people have seen my yard grow these 4 yrs. From utility tree cutters, to direct tv people, and MANY more unfortunately. I havent had any problems thank God. I got a few plants ripped the first year but thats it. I over did it my first yard grow with the garden area full and 30 pots with 3 footers everywhere so It wasent missed. My neighbors kid I think was the villian and he hasent been back. This tent Im trying to keep under wraps as much as possible.
As far as legal...... there is no legal here. I dont care what people think. Some think under a 100 plants ok. having a doctors script is ok. Having a script that says you can grow 100 plant is ok. But it aint! trust me you will get busted if...... you have too much, and making wax. Thats all the Gov. cares about. Some countys you can grow outside some not. My county is no outside, inside only. I get away with it because Im in a working class neighborhood (GHETTO). Theres yard grows on every street I bet by me. The helicopter sees all and it flys over daily. If my neighbors complain im guessing I will get shut down but Im on disability with a tissue disease, personal amount and a docters script. Im not worried of getting in trouble. I fit the criteria. People are growing pot everywhere here. You should see the customers at the grow shop. Selling picks and shovels is the business here.
 
wow where to start with the update.....

hmmm ok so the crit kush decided to push her root fasssst. so she went into the 4"block. then last night she went into the tent in her dwc bucket!! a first for me. i'm using the watering ring up top until some roots show up underneath, then it will just be a big airstone going 24/7. I have the air pump on a timer at the moment. on every 1 1/2 hours for 10 minutes to bathe her a bit.

no nutes in her yet, I ordered a ph and a tds meters umm 2 days ago... they are to arrive on wed the 27th.
here she is.....

ok so here goes eh

2 more males got culled yesterday. #12 + #13.

i'm really starting to dislike this strain. it seems very unstable. kinda makes me think that mjseeds is cks's proving grounds for genetics. it makes perfect sense really. the service is absolutely top notch. when I chatted with them they sent me a buttload more of these and a 5 pack of cks stuff too. there's always freebies, usually cks stuff. but why not get a lot of growers to either prove or disprove the genetics of new strains? that's what makes sense about it. also seems to be maybe why cks doesn't have this strain under their flag.

the phenotypes from plant to plant vary greatly. some are strong sativas. some are strong indicas. so far only one (knock on wood) seems to have proven to have less ruderalis in her. she was #1 got retagged quite awhile ago to #3. and it looks like for certain all the way up to #6 will be harvested before her. she is a she. slowly growing buds. strong in sativa. weak in ruddy.

so the male count is 6 so far. really sux, but like I said, they more than made up for it. but a lot of work has gone into those 6.

everybody got a good stiff drink of the clear stuff a couple days ago. was it a need? idunno. maybe it was laziness. but I did feel as though they wanted a bit of a flush. so that's what they got.

#'s 1 & 2 should be mebbe 2 weeks or so more to go. that's another issue from the breeder. it was a 60 day from seed claim. april 29 was seed 1. size claims, don't matter. because the reality of that, is what we do affects the size greatly. ie: I am using 2 g pots. that will cause a reduction in size. I defol heavily. some say that can cause a reduction in size. i'm on the fence still on that one. I did however stop doing heavy defols, to test the waters. just pulling wasted large leaves.

oh, my blue treacle auto went into her pot tonight. she's got her space helmet on and she's in the space.

silver girl 2, I believe (again, knock on wood) is starting to show some nutz.

and I think I am seeing some seed action on the pollinated branch on #4.

that's it for now. I am beat tired. long ass day. this was all supposed to be updated last night, but it was a long ass day too.

remember,
have fun eh

ok so this morning I went to see the girls. lookin good. lookin bushy. well.....

so I did a bunch of defol on the midsize girls, lets say from 7-15 or so. tried touching up #3 (original #1) that I am convinced is short on ruddy, but she just wouldn't show me where to take off from. so I only took a few from her, kinda got lost in that process and gave up. guess she didn't want to be cleaned up today.

dunno if ya'll remember punchy or not, but she was one bushy girl this morning. thought i'd share a couple update photos on her for public interest.

if ya recall it took her seemingly forever to get to this point once she was planted. prior to this she was a lame duck. was around here she got the name punchy.
20160626_0809291.jpg



and here is what she looks like today after defol. she was a bloody mess of undergrowth,lol.
20160722_073445.jpg

20160722_073500.jpg

20160722_073511.jpg


the rest got about the same, maybe not as much, depends on what they asked for. no pics lol punchy was just public interest.

also decided I best get the critical kush out of the rockwool. she has a nice root going. good timing. much longer and I wouldn't have been able to get her out unscathed.

at that I took the pump off the timer, so she is now top fed at the lowest setting the air pump will go. turns out I just got outta there before lights out. didn't realize I had spent almost 3 hours in there til after I closed it up.

hopefully........she survives the transplant. lol

remember,

have fun eh
 
Just doing a drive bye. Let me tell ya these journals are great records of plants. I can't tell ya how many times I've had to look back in my past journals for dates, sizes, and other info from past grows on strains. Hey it's nice to have people post on your grows, but to me these are just what they are called, Grow Journals. Alot easier to type in with pictures for references than writing it down to keep track. Plants are frosting up nicely. Man you sure got them packed in there. Should make a nice SOG soon. Keepem Green
 
that's exactly bang on about journaling norcal. writing it all down there aren't any photo bomb ref's to compare growth stages, be it success or failure. especially when trying something new or off the wall.

hehehe should never be an sog actually. it's perpetual so I will always have some fresh stuff coming out of the tent. once I can nail down a timeline for the strain that is. and so far, this is the wrong strain. way too unstable. but yeah they are in tight like a ....nvm.

have fun eh
 
well round about 18 hours later and blue treacle is doing fine so far.
20160722_180952.jpg


and crit kush hasn't shown any horror signs from her wool blankie removal bout 12 hours ago.
20160722_180821.jpg

20160722_180758.jpg


and just for public interest, and so I can find the photos again, lol.
here's a diy 6" can filter I made a few years back.

and I found everything but the sponges for my 15 site bubble cloner. well, add an air pump, air line and air stone. I used a double line pump and 2 stones to shpread the bubbles more.

I got pics of the tub with measurements, of the tub and of the spongeeeee holes. also, pics showing the airline holes going in up high above waterline too.(important)

well there ya go folks.

ohhh yahh the sponges were cut just a bit larger than the holes in the lid. so then with the green scrubbie part on top, it being stiffer, prevents the sponges and clones from falling through.

That was just beautiful THANK YOU for showing pics and measurements of the box. I had it figured out in my head and you gave pics :)
Do you have algae problems in the water?
Also clone in soil with cup.. brilliant :)
 
no problem little birdie.

anything else just ask
