PICTURE DAY!
​

Week 4 and we're going along at a good clip now. Things are starting to happen. I noticed the tiniest bit of swelling in a few of the clones in this test, and it seems that the T5's are flowering pretty well. The fact that they get broadsided with the light not over them is helping as well. I think that the light configuration I finally settled on is going to work for getting at least what I have here to perform well.

Yes, I still know they're small, but that's exactly what I wanted for this test. Just to see if T5's could be made to perform in this box, and to see how well the strains I have work for me. I will be trying out different types of flowering techniques for this box. Test 2 will have much larger clones in the box and we'll see how well it can handle the larger crops. Test 3 will be an thin LST, removing Thing2 from the Maternity Ward and flowering her out... A weak ScrOG, I guess. I performed no FIM/Topping on her once LST started, so internodes are naturally spaced. The next LST to be tested will be a Plush Berry(indica) or Ken's Granddady Purple(indica) trained to be tight and full, with thick growth utilizing lots of topping/FIM to test the penetration of my light configuration. And of course there will be a full SOG and a full ScrOG to test for light hotspots, and dim areas.

All this is to get a feel for the box and its capabilities. If I have to run several short plants to get a good yield, or if I can run one or two that I let become bushes, or if I need to run 2 to 4 that received LST or what. All will be recorded for posterity, and the knowledge of this box's strengths and weaknesses will only serve to shape my own grow style that will develop because of it for this box. The highlights and results of all tests will be compiled FOLLOWING THIS LINK, with the detailed journal of each to remain separate.

I know this seems like a lot of useless testing, but understanding your grow space is KEY to getting the most out of your crop that you put into a space. You can't just stick anything anywhere and expect it to be the highest yield you've ever seen. You think, you test, you watch, you record, you adjust. That's the nature of the beast we call pain management. It stands to reason that what we find to alleviate the pain is just as temperamental as we are. It's a gift from the Mother, but as I always say, it comes with the price of understanding nature and working with the given environment to receive the most form this gift.

Wow, I just ranted there, didn't I? I said it's picture day didn't I? So here are the pics.

As always, the group shot is first.

Next we have the Indicas... GDP.

Next are the Sativas... Green Fluffy Bunnies

And Thing2

And finally the two in soil... SETI

And unidentified, showing a moderate amount of swelling, but is much older than anything else in this box. I'm thinking it's another of Thing2's clones.

Looks like it's going good my friend. You have some hairy girls there. Thanks for the explanation of what your aiming for. Sounds logical to me.

 

[jandre2k3]

Okay, so you all know, I got a new toy.

Celestron 44302-A Deluxe Handheld Digital Microscope 2MP

So check it out! This is of SETI and of the truly unknown plant in soil.

 

[Twelve12]

Very nice new toy. That unit produce some amazing quality for a 2MP. Those trich shots are great! I need to upgrade the microscope to this! Much cheaper than getting a macro lens for the camera.

Coming from the photog gawd, that's pretty high praise right there, y'all!

Thankya kindly, Twelve12

jandre2k3 how long is that usb cord? Was looking into something similar until wife lets me get a new camera. I assume it doesn't have onboard memory so gotta take the lappy into the room?

Nope, got a 20' USB extension. The box is in my dining room, and the computer is in the den/living room.

Thanks for the info,lookin good brother.

PICTURE DAY!

Week 5 and things are really starting to happen now! All buds are swollen and looking good. It seems that with as many T5HO's that are shining on these ladies, they're loving it.

As always, the group shot is first.

Next we have the Indicas... GDP.

Next are the Sativas... Green Fluffy Bunnies

And Thing2

And finally the two in soil... SETI

And unidentified, getting Very close to chop

 

[OldMedMan]

Those are "Snow Bunnies!

 

[jandre2k3]

Those are "Snow Bunnies!

It does seem that we'll get some actual smoke from these pygmies!

i shall call them "mini me" said the giant outdoor behemoth!!

First Harvest​

​

Okay, I couldn't take it anymore. It's the first time ever I've had to judge a plant whose flower got interrupted by a veg period, so it's a little iffy. All the hairs are turned, and she quit swelling and leaves were dying. The unknown lost identity Bagseed has been removed from light for 24 hours preparing for the chop. I expect maybe a quarter....maybe.

Thoughts?

 

[Lurch Farmer]

YYYUUUMMMYYY

 

[OldMedMan]

Thoughts?

Your doing great....that's my take!
