Smokeyjoe's First Grow

[Smokeyjoe]

I am following you Badbert, bear with me here!
I have a 100amp service. Some slots like the range etc use 2 breaker slots but all the breakers read " 10 AIC 000 120/240vac" on them even the 2 slotter's which makes me think "10amp breaker."
I see 11 breakers in my box, going off the 10 on the breaker that is 110 amps (although some take 2 slots). I understand what you mean about having max load running through which I understand is 80% of the rated load. At least one of the light circuits is underloaded atm and the one I am trying to use seems to be right around that load limit. I think another 5 or 10 amps would cover me on my grow circuit, just another 600w and a 288cfm fan. So what I think your saying is that a higher rated breaker in that slot would work if the other crap on the main service aren't overloading the amps it is rated at?

You get reps for helping me understand even if it is not doable lol.

Here are a couple pics for fun

I asked her nicely to spread them, it got a little rough...

I kissed her and told her I loved her afterwards so its cool.

[badbert]

you got it figgered out. Sounds lke they skimped on service boxes. another ten amps definitely should not hurt, how often do you have every light and every plug used at once?!

 

[Smokeyjoe]

We don't have everything on at the same time often and if we figured out what all is on the circuits we could adjust accordingly I'm sure. Your right they skimped never lived in an apt that didn't skimp somewhere on the build.

I have noticed the last couple days the girls in the co2 room have been transpiring like crazy so something is def going on!

Excuse my ignorance, what do you mean by "transpiring"

 

[Smokeyjoe]

Transpiring = sweating out the leaves. With the higher temps and co2 intake the metabolism speeds up and they sweat to equalize water uptake because the roots work harder with boosted co2.

 

[badbert]

Can you show us pictures?!

Looking good Smokeyjoe.
You can change out one the breakers for a 15amp you most likely have 14 gauge wire so go no more than 15 amp. If you have dryer oulet you can get power from there.

My good camera is out of batteries so my phones camera will have to do but no good close ups sorry!

This is a flowering clone I took about 5 days ago, starting to grow roots already. This one was taken from the plant that is producing the biggest cola.

This is the plant that the flowering clone was taken from. Halfway through week 7.

Everyone say hi to Maria! She has ridiculous resin production and I cloned her yesterday because I hate to see her go, halfway through week 6.

This is Maria #2 I cut her last night.

These 4 are Cristal Paradise I cloned last night.

This is some flowering clones and regular clones, I didn't really need them all it's just hard to throw them away. I was cutting lower growth in the flower room and got these.

Here is a shot of flower room 1. 4 Super Lemon Haze.

Here are some shots of flower room #2

I tried to ge some shots of the transpiring leaves.

That's whats new at my place got some extra clones and am thinking of germing the hawaiian snow super silver haze and white widow, man this is addictive!

 

[DrTentgrow]

Hello SmokeyJoe sweet pictures mate i will be keeping an eye on your flowering clones as i will probably be taking clones from my flowering plants. Will you be reverting them back in to veg?

 

[pan4gold49]

Great garden Smokeyjoe.

Your doing great man.


+rep if I can

[Smokeyjoe]

Thanks Pan and Dr.Tentgrow! I thought about revegging but I am dissapointed in how big they are. I want them about 4-5 feet at finish so I don't think I will reveg I will just veg the next batch longer. The flowering clones will get re veged and I will choose a mother from the 3 pheno's of slh I have chosen after smoke tests. I will get some shots of the veg room up. I am not happy with my lighting I want more even coverage but I'm broke so its still cfl's.

 

[Smokeyjoe]

I also moved all the tall ones in room 2 so they are outside edge and shorties are directly under bulb.

 

[Fattis-Rattis]

Wow Joe, everything's looking great man!!

i laughed @ the # of clones ya took. I have that same issue, i hate to see things go to waste, lol. With the # of plant issues, i like to go to the harvest fests/NORML meetings around here and give out the clones. it's a great way to get rid of a lot of the excess.

 

[Smokeyjoe]

Lol ya it's hard to get rid of them! Great idea about the NORML meetings I will look into that I always have an extra for a fellow patient in need. 2/3 of my flowering SLH clones from " the producer" have rooted and are in dirt under 24/7 and starting to grow new leaves. I left the whole garden in the care of my roommate for the week while I'm out of town sure hope he keeps up on the watering!! I'm at the airport waiting for my flight lol. Everything is looking good I can't wait to check the trichs when I get home should be cool to see after 1 week they are currently about 60-75% cloudy with some left over clear atm.

 

[SouthernOnt]

those ladies are gorgeous hope greenhouse puts that in a colour mixed pack cause those are a great way to grow a bunch of chronic strains and what my garden will likely be again next year and likely in a supercloset if I can save up
