Got the first box of the NL buds in a jar for burping. 16 days of slow drying and they are still a bit damp. Needed to get the big girl out of sight so moved her into the grow room and put the 400W on her. Takes up a lot of space in there so I'll have to take my cuttings and get the SoG tub going. I'll start a new journal for that I think. I want to start my auto breeding project too but might just include it in the new journal.
Here's the daughter of the DWC girl I just cropped. Now going to be a mother herself. She looks a little bedraggled as she's been on short rations because of the lower light she's been getting the last month so gave her a good feed to perk her up and get good cuttings. Extra P and K along with it to promote root growth in the cuttings.
Got my bank of T-12s mostly ready to go. Just some foil to put on as a reflector and white aluminum side flaps that I can fold in for storage. Installed the last pair of lights to get it to 8 and tested it with all my old bulbs. Need some new ones for sure. The GE Daylight Ultras put out 3050 lumens at 6500K so that gives me about 24,000 lumens for and about 8 square feet of coverage, Not great but OK for veg. I have another shop light I could mount horizontally at the back for a bit more light.
I mounted a small biscuit fan and wired a plug for a ceiling fan speed controller like the one I use for my 6" inline fan in the grow room. No fancy box on this one. Bare bones all the way! lol
You can see the quick connects on the power wires to 3 of the ballasts. That way I can run 2 - 4 - 6 or 8 bulbs. The ballasts draw power even if there is no bulbs in the sockets so I wanted to cut them out when I needed to.
Check out the root that was tearing the net pot apart. That plant had been in there for about 16 months all told with the reveg. Root Power!
