Stealth + Vert + 250 watts

[fully baked]

Thanks for stopping by Mike... Glad I could entertain you for a bit.

I started off wanting to keep it stealthy, but then Dr Dog came around, and there goes the outside shots to my cab... Haha I should prob go back and change some verbage now shouldn't I???

I'm not too sure if wallyduck was from OG; unfortunately, I came around about two months before OG went down, so I never had the full experience. I think I remember him having a ducksfoot cross though... Saw it on seedbay sometime during a blazed stupor...

The organic hydro scares me a bit. I just use GH 3 part with a little cal-mag + in DWC now. KISS for sure.

EDIT: 3 Cheers for post 100 in my thread, thanks to Mike!!!

Gotta get to 50 so I can use the dang chat room and PM's!! I will try to stop but GH is a very finicky nute compared to PBP, just mix in one spoonfull and you are done.

 

[fully baked]

Ya maybe next time.... I have GH on hand for now.

your plants arent looking too healthy brother

 

[fully baked]

They're healthy. Just some heat stress from touching the cool tube...

Here are some shots from day 40 in the flower cab...

The ladies are fat. They have all been tied down and one of them fell over into the cooltube and burnt the end of a bud. It's all good though, gonna make some dry sift out of the end of the burnt cola.



C99-1

C99-2 (Still my favorite... Just look at that side cola!)

C99-3 She fell culprit to the cool tube and had the burnt bud... I snipped off the top burnt part already and retied her so that it won't happen again! I'm guilty of wanting to sample and was just waiting for an excuse

Back with the CFL cab in a bit. Pulled a few males that showed their balls. But those roots are getting tangled in the containers...

Here's the CFL cab... Rocking 138 watts...

Down to 8 possible ladies. 1 confirmed NH lady . A little pH spotting due to a high pH for a day or so. The BB is sensitive and I forgot!! 3 out of 8 are affected, but its fixed and they are back at 5.6

Day 6 since the flip

And the veg cab under 92 watts... A little deficiency due to too low pH! Fixed now and back to the races. It only hit 3-4 fans on one of the plants before I caught it...

those are fine crops. I am going to be using a 250 W in the coming months and I'm looking for a way to cool it as quietly as possible. How loud is the Stanley blower?

 

[fully baked]

With all the fans in my room, it sounds like an airport at times, but I have 5 or 6 fans going depending on the light cycles.

The Stanley blower has 3 settings which is nice and is pretty quiet if turned into an inline fan. It's not something that is easy to hide, but it's doable.

With just the stanley blower on, you could easily place a dehumidifier or something that makes a similar noise in the area to blame the rushing sound of air on. Out of sight, out of mind. Make a sound box to insulate the noise and I imagine you could get it very stealthy.

Comparing it to other fans... I can't quite say. I've never actually bought a legit centrifugal fan. But the price is right, and it's lasted over a year now of near continuous use.

Chopped some more clones and found a few more females for that outdoor mama hunt...

I think I have them all figured out now.... Bent them over and lifted their skirts, and I think they liked it...

Ended up with 4 girls in the 4 gallon tub and 2 girls in the 1 gal tub. It worked out real nice I think.

In the 4 gal tub, the ladies are...

BB-1 which hasn't shown her pistils yet, but I have a good feeling.
NH-2
NH x PPP 1
NH x PPP 2

In the 1 gal tub, the ladies are...
NH-1
PPP-1

I have clones of everyone except for the PPP, because I think she will go too long for my outdoor season anyways... I just have to pray for some roots and buds now...

BTW, i do believe it's day 8 since the flip. Now we'll call it flower day 1 since they were tiny beaners at the onset...

Chopped a sampler nug, as I need something special...


Just the bit below the burnt nug, I made sure not to go scissor crazy.... Maybe 1/3 dry... C99-3, chopped on day 44...

[MikeRoOrganix]

lookin good lookin good!!! C99 is a fun one to grow but she stretches no matter what. She makes me paranoid as heck! Try to clone the most indo-dom if possible, like you already said you liked better. yumm yum!

 

[fully baked]

Hey Mike,

I have ended up with one big stretcher (C99-1), one medium stretcher (C99-2), and one with relatively no stretch (C99-3).

To be honest, the one with no stretch has the smallest buds which is the C99-3 I posted above. So far my preferences lean towards C99-2 (the medium stretcher) in terms of bud production cause they are all gleaming with resin.

I guess I won't be able to tell until the smoke. Too bad I didn't get a clone of C99-3 though....

C99-1 or C99-2 will have to be the keeper out of the bunch, seeing as I don't have the time or the space to reveg.

 

[MikeRoOrganix]

nice I love when you have the selection! Two it is IMO!

 

[fully baked]

Haha yes!

But just to make sure, I have these two ready to fill the cab after my 3 finish up in ~8 days. They grow like damn weeds

C99-1 in the front and C99-2 (bigger) in the back

Always a pleasure mike,

A little late on the updates this week, but I had a busy weekend...

VEG CAB
We'll start off with a quick snapshot of the veg cab. I'm real lazy and C99-2 is up and above the lights. I'll move them up later tonight, I promise...

I have some clones busting out roots. Always a great thing. It's looking like I'll have cuts of all the ladies I found with this last seed run: BB, NH, and NH x PPP

Here it is, overloaded just a bit....

CFL CAB
Here's the CFL cab. All the ladies have shown me their pistils, and I ended up with six verified healthy girls. Day 7 for these little ladies....


You'll have to excuse the shots, it's nearly impossible to get them in and out without stressing the ladies out and knocking them around, so all the shots are of them in the cab...

STEALTH DRESSER
She's getting close now, at 49 days. All three have been getting water only for the last 12 days, and I plan on taking them fairly soon. Enjoy the last shots of these ladies with their roots intact...


C99-1
The slowest to mature of the three, and the biggest stretcher. She has really put on some color in the last week, and all her buds close to and facing the light are taking on a nice shade of purple. There's a huge contrast between the side of the buds facing the light and the side away from it. You would think the two sides of the bud are from completely different plants.

With the way she colors up, I might be keeping two cuts of this C99 depending on how they smoke...

C99-2
Still my favorite. I think her buds tell the story. Unfortunately some of the ones closer to the lamp are a bit stressed and it is definitely noticeable. I have some nice bleached calyx's popping up on those buds in fact.

The size of these things is awesome, the smell doesn't stand out, but they all rank of goodness, and the resin coverage is there. Her buds are just significantly bigger than the other two...

Bleached calyx's

Popcorn

C99-3
The quickest of the three is right here. I feel like it would be alright to take her down now, but I will wait on it. Dense golf ball nugs are all over. They never really connect into colas, but she is gorgeous too. A small amount of color is popping out on her.

Just cruising along and getting nice and flushed...

The difference between front and back is like night and day...

Wow! Loving this grow/thread! You have everything I'm interested in in one grow!
I came in interested in vertical, and ended up learning about everything else I am already interested in. C99, Hempy Buckets, DWC, LST, Hash making, pollen, all from a would-be modest 250w. You're rockin it though, mad respect. Thanks for sharing.

 

[fully baked]

Thanks a lot cre8iv fuel. I'm glad I can entertain and help out a few other growers, I feel like I owe it to the community after all the reading and knowledge I've been allowed to soak up here.


So thanks for stopping by!
