V4L's SeedsMan Comparative Grow: Banana Jealousy 2024

[Vegan4life]

Hello fellow farmers!

Been a busy week! We took our granddaughter to Disneyland, wiped me out! 27,000 steps in one day. My calves are killing me…

My ladies are hopefully done stretching. Bananas loca ! I probably should have flipped them a few weeks sooner. I have raised the lights as high as I could. Here are a couple of pictures.

Thanks for the Jackfruit suggestion Vegan it really made for a good chicken salad. I liked it anyway

Bananas loca ! It is starting to get stinky and a little frosty in the grow room! I did a little more HST and a bit of staking down the tops to keep them a little further from the lights. Here are a couple of pictures from this evening.

Happy Saturday fellow Growers! I’ve been real busy lately. Here is some pictures from last night.

40 Days since I flipped to 12/12 lighting

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Things are coming right along! Plants have been getting RO water only now for a month. They seem to be getting what they need! Here are a few pictures from tonight.

It’s getting Dank & frosty in my grow room!!!

I’ve bought the parts to build a rosin press, slowly getting it put together! I can hardly wait to squish some Banana Jealousy! It looks like it’s going to be real greasy!

Here is the Rosin press plates that I am building, each plate is 3” x 6” x 1-1/2” 6061 aluminum block, each with 2 - 100 watt heat cartridges for a total of 400 watts and each block will be controlled individually with a Ink Bird PID. Here is a picture what I have so far.

I’ve got my temperature controller for my rosin press all wired up!! And I’ll be darned my plates actually heat up! It took about 5 1/2 minutes to heat up to 170 Fahrenheit. Maybe I’ll be squishing some nugs tonight!

Ok I just completed my first squish! 10 grams of Critical Kush buds. I made a 2” x 4” puck. It yielded approximately 15% return. I got just over a gram on my first squish and I folded the bag over for a second squish and got another approximate 1/2 gram. I ended up heating plates to 180 Fahrenheit.I need to get some rosin tools to help recover the rosin. It’s kind of a pain without the right tools. Here are a few pictures.

Happy Monday fellow Growers! I hope everyone has a great week! Things are cruising right along in the grow room! Crazy loud in the grow room! Currently running approx 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 55% humidity. I had to turn on my dehumidifier and AC to combat humidity, It has been 65% - 75% humidity outside, so I can't bring in that humid of air for my air exchange. I turned off my carbon filter exhaust so I have no negative pressure in the room and the VERY LOUD ODOR is escaping to the backyard through my air intake. So far the only one complaining is my wife.

My peppers are in full bloom and fruits are setting! I give each pepper plant a quick shake every evening to help pollinate.

Here is a photo dump, pics from Saturday night.

Thank you! I can hardly wait to squish some! Today is day 40 of flower, 16 to 30 more days until harvest according to Seedsman. I squished some Cherry Pie yesterday, the smell is so awesome!
