Hello Canyon and welcome aboard. To catch up on what's going on now you'd only have to go back to "HERE" which is only 7 pages in arrears. That's when we started the conversion from a 2 tent, 2lt Soda Pop Pot Perpetual Grow to a Bigger & Better 3 tent, 3gal Smart Pot Perpetual Grow. It's a work in progress.

THE OL SWITCH-A-ROO...​

The great thing about Autos is you can bounce them from tent to tent (18/6 - 12/12) without any ill effects. This morning we took the Mystery x Afghan Kush auto from the Bloom Tent and tossed her in the Veg Tent. The ULTRA LEMON HAZE from yesterday's Bonus Round took her place.

One of the two auto tap-roots we planted in the Auto pot sprouted already so follow me to the Veg Tent...
First thing I did was take a cutting before flipping the ULH and am attempting to clone the top and bottom half separately.

She has one week left to get her act together or else it's lights out.

Wow BAR took some time out to checked out your journal. MAN you got it going on. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for tip about autos & going to/from 18/6 & 12/12.

Can't think of another way of saying "looking good" so...

What's up LB, you know I'm still holding on to my raincheck for our next lunch & smoke meeting in Little Italy. Was out there last week but did the seafood thing instead of pizza.

Thanks for tip about autos & going to/from 18/6 & 12/12.

Anytime Brightlights.

You're not doing too bad yourself around at your place Mr. Amazing. Such a fitting username.

QUICK UPDATE​

Oct 25, 2015​

As I was telling Cali Dreaming a few days ago we were at about 75% germinating in soil but looking more like 99.9% since we started using rockwool cubes; guess it still holds true.
Out of the two Mystery X Afghan Kush tap-rooted beans we buried in the pot of our first one only 1 sprouted.

But both Mystery X Afghan Kush in rockwool cubes tap-rooted beans sprouted...

ULTRA LEMON HAZE (Cutting) Day 3


This was 1 cutting that I cut in half to try and make 2 clones from but I guess the head has to be attached (un-topped) to survive. I'll try it again soon though.

And this morning we threw in the towel on the Great White Shark; dug her up and planted a JH clone in the same pot of soil.

JACK HERER Clone (4th generation) Day 37

 

[CajunCelt]

Dang you're busy. Looking great my friend.
I saw the mix ya got brewing. I wondered why you didn't use coco instead of the moss or at least in addition to it.

 

[SweetSue]

Damn Reg, you make me look like I'm standing still. How do you keep up? Geez, there's no keeping pace with you. I'm utterly amazed. I'm gonna shut up now and look over all that again.

Damn!

Gotta ask - what's the advantage of including coco in the mix?

Hello Cajun. It's an Organic Customized Mix calculated by PJ with what I had on hand along with what I could easily get. I'm with Sue; why do you mention coco? The best run I had to date was in this same mix.

Damn Reg, you make me look like I'm standing still. How do you keep up?

Really it's not that complicated Sue; every pot is labeled with the strain, start date, and flip date. We look at each tent as an individual entity and feed & water the light pots as necessary one tent at a time.
To give you an example and make it not look so overwhelming I'll update one tent each day for the next 3 days.

AND NOW FOR THE BONUS ROUND...​

Some of you may already know that I was discussing doing a run of Doc Bud's HB Kit going side by side with the same strain from the same batch of beans, in the same environment, up against PJ's Organic Soil Mix.

It was a convo we had over on Sue's thread and being the amazing person that she is instead of just saying "I'd like to see that" she's making it happen!
Today I received enough of Doc's kit to do this "side by side" courtesy of SweetSue.

And a Bigger Hug back to you Sue...

 

[Light Addict]

BAR some great looking shrubs coming along Sue you bloody rock! Awesome job and will provide awesome info so bravo for making it possible

 

[SweetSue]

Great Reg. Let the fun begin. I believe you're in for a surprise. I wasn't prepared for the energy these plants put out, but you have much more experience than I do. I didn't send instructions, because that's pretty much how I got it and I wanted to see how you handled the initial acclimation process. I've grown much more comfortable with the Kit and can be available for any questions you may have. My savior was Graytail. I'm sure he'd be the same voice of reason for you B A R.


It's a joy to be able to finally give something back to a community that's been so generous to me. This is what we do here. The Great Share.

 

[SweetSue]

How many plants do you have going right now? Just curious. I have 19 charges and I've only posted the wrong name once, which quite frankly surprises me.

I like the labeling idea, and I'll institute that ASAP, as in tomorrow. I'm still getting the documentation down too. Thank you for stretching out the updates to one tent a day over three days. That makes it a more valuable teaching tool Reg. I gotta give you reps for that. Good work. You make the teacher in me proud.

 

[Kriaze]

That is a really nice thing that happened there and I love the little hug note. It's good to see the community working together like that, what a wonderful place this is. I love how healthy your plants are looking too BAR, I'm watching with interest

Gray & I go back a few moons. He's another one that helped me out a lot when I was still a virgin grower so I'm sure he won't have a problem walking me through it.

How many plants do you have going right now?

To tell the truth I stopped counting and naming my plants awhile back when I got over 10. It didn't seem to matter anymore but now that we're phasing out the 2lt pots it won't be as many. I'm quite sure we were running in the upper 20's to low 30's on a regular basis though.

It's been a long and winding road up to this point Kraize. I just hope the road ahead is a little smoother.

It'll be a minute Jaga. Once I get this 3gal Never Ending Harvest up and running we'll start.

Fifi.
The Mystery X Critical Sensi Star beans haven't sprouted after 5 days in the paper towel. I'll try a few more this evening; be patient with me dear.

It's a little busy this week so I'll try to catch up on everyone's threads this evening.

 

[Major PITA]

I'm really looking forward to your side-by-side with the HB stuff. Should be a fun run!
