Scarfinger68 - Aurora Indica - Soil - 600W Dimmable HPS - Indoor Closet Grow

[Scarfinger68]

A nice smell to wake up to in the morning. well done man!

Thanks Vlad. They are definitely starting to get some smell to them now. So far my system has negative pressure so the smell hasn't made it outside the grow room. But it smells very nice when I open up the grow room door.

Real nice Man I was wondering if your HPS is speeding up flowering for the AI along with those bigger buds growing from it..
Bigger plants may take a little longer tho

 

[DaKindbuds]

Nice buds. I run quantum too how you like yours

I don't think it will decrease flowering time overall. But it has definitely produced more buds/bigger buds in the same time frame.

So far so good. I was looking for a dimmable ballast and chose this one. No complaints.

Me neither I actually brought home two different types at the same. The other even had a turbo feature and was visibly dimmer than the Quantum. Had to exchange it after seeing that.

Ahh... I was considering a Solis Tek. Can't remember exactly why I went with Quantum. Maybe price and I think they have been around for a while.

Thanks for the info

I posted this on Roaches page

Hey Roach... Just stopped in to bug you Bug?

My AI are starting to foxtail some. Starting to put on a little weight too.

You seem so Organic. I tried a TEA... topped off with an Organic? Tea (tbsp. plant tone, tbsp. bone meal, tbsp. kelp, splash tomato thrive, 3 drops blackstrap molasses, 1 splash fish fertilizer) percolated for almost 24 hours. PH was 8 ish. PH'd down to 6.5 ish.

Ehhh? Well. I don't know... It is a tea of some kind

I will try and put some pics up tomorrow...

TheRoach's First - Soil - Aurora Indica - Organic Grow - 600W

Things are looking good... As above I tried a TEA. Got some Organic Soil cooking. Will try some organic style stuff next grow. Probably won't be 100% organic. I am not to sure about this tea stuff and percolating and such...

I love foxtailing... To me it means things are going good and the plant is healthy. It may not make the prettiest buds... But I always consider it a good thing.

Pics tomorrow... Later

Sorry for taking so long to answer. Had unexpected guests come over and stay for the last 6 days. I havent tried adding most of the things you used in your tea, besides something similar to molasses. Did you aerate this tea? I usually make my teas with worm castings, so aerating is necessary.
I have never minded foxtailing myself, more bud is more bud.
Hope all is well my friend!

Thanks and be safe.

Hello Scar,

I have to begin with a huge thank you for the journals you have written. They have been an entertaining and enlightening experience to read.

I was wondering of you had maybe tried to measure and compare the light output of your CFL setup and your current one. I would think that the HPS would be higher but by how much?

 

[Scarfinger68]

7/18 (F day 60) Plain water for last 7 days. Harvest day today. Mainly cloudy trichomes. A few amber.

Tried the bud washing. Skipped the peroxide step. Only did 3 buckets for Baking powder/lemon juice, water, water. My buckets came out very clean. Probably because I didn't do many foiler sprays and I defoliated.

Hanging: 72°F @57% RH

This is where I have always had a problem. Usually they dry to fast and sometimes I get a grassy taste.

But... I have the room temps under control this time. So, I should get a nice slow controlled dry. Hoping for 5 to 7 days before jarring.
