hey fellas ;)


things working out better and better although a little accident happend.


i changed the bulbd to the blue ones so its 2400 watt metal halide (blue) and 2400 watt high sodium pressure (yellow,red)


they running 12h each so 2400 blue for 12 hours then 2400 yellow/red 12 hours.


yesterday (because of my lack in good heath) i want to finish fast and get the lights some bit down... well didnt open the rolls to slide them down, so i just push with some pressure to get'em down, well they came down the whole lightrail with all 4 lights upon my shoulder.... was bad idea.
some of the plants got injured but not seriously, for god sake.

no hurry anymore ^^


also 2 of the reflectors will be changed and wiring will be done better than now.

also got 10 super cloners ready :D you will be suprised, very easy cloners working best ;)

asap i get my cam back i ll get you updated.

well forgot the cam again, sry ^^ ( so many more important things to do ! )


i tested the cloners last time they work great, its just a box, rockwool tray, airpump with stones, heating rod and top covered.

couldnt get all the things needed for 10 cloners but when all 10 are ready the will be good for 770 clones in 10-14 days.
cheap and usefull as hell.


i will start the panama as soon i got a few more yumbolts.

the OTH is just for further projects, keeping it in the freezer.

so total list is now:

i rewired the ballasts, mounted them on the wall and also kept the lamp cables above the lamps, for more space and security, of course all fused.

(looks little messy)

there are 2 rails with each 4 lamps upon every 10 hours 4 lamps powering on (2MH+2HPS), like left rail the 2 ones backside - right rail 2 in the front and then the opposite.


also a couple shots of one of the sensi stars

thx 4 information, yes i need to upload even many more pics than that.


yes i will pollinate the yumbolts with... some other yumbolts i just have to wait some more days.

when i get the other yumbolt beans (the same 03/04 but i sent them to a friend, he will get me soime of them back) i will germ the panamas too.

but thats enough i m limited in space and i got a 16,5x16,5 feeet motherplant area.

one of the nevilles skunk is already 4,1 feet without the pot. she s very sativa.

and the sensi stars got about 12 inch fan leafes.
with a height of about 25 inch, without the pot.

when they get as big as my old mums they will have bigger fan leafes than my chest !


well i got my own notes about all of the plants, also i think i got a good eye for them because i m almost 80% right when i just guess from the shape/appearance of the plants which strain it is so i m very familiar with them ( i never grown most of them before) which is very important.


but they were too many its nearly impossible to note all the growing patters each days alone.


most important thing is my list:


1.) VIGOR and STABILITY

( most important, all mums and breeding plants will be choosen by vigor (=fast and "good" growth) and stability ( same endproduct in most other conditions than mine, including lamps, heat medium, and so on)


2.) Taste

( i do not give much about how plants smell in vegetation because i made the expierience it can change so radically during flowering, or even curing)
Also i belive theres very less attention on the taste and smell these days, just resin resin resin and couchlock.


3.) Quality of the High


( well i m intended to use the word "quality" instead of potency, all should be said by that)

4.) Flowering time

(flowering time has top be acceptable, necessary for indoor grows)

5.) Yield


( last but not least yield should be considered as an important thing when you walking on the border to illegality)

Guess it's just you and I andl. Still here, still watching, still jealous.

Did your other buddy crack the reamining yumbolts yet? Maybe if he/she finds a nice male they can mail you the goods.

Anyways wishing you well, the ladies and set up look fantastic as always.

one pic of the other cloner wall and in the last you can see they are good for 6 cloners @ 77 rockwool cubes

so in total 12x77 clones can be made at once.

hey thx again for following !

yeah now its a lot of work but i m looking forward to ;)

i ve lots of people who like to get my clones and in case of unexpected problems its good to preserve them, so its a win/win situation.

well some complains about where the big names are but i said trust me these will be better :D


also the males are in the tent right now flowering, soon i collect the pollen and get some of the female clones into flowering to get the first seeds.


in a few weeks i will also post some flowering pics but it makes my heart bleed that i cant let them flower out, really too dangerous.

thanks!


everything s doing great, first test with the cloners... they working best, i tried without cloning gel and some with, but they keep rooting at same time ;)

also i m planning to change the room layout, will be done this week, first i ve to get some tools.

the mom's doing very nice, i got some spider mite infection which was clear because i took the clones from a friend over which has them for years (clones and mites ^^) but these are so nice i couldnt resist.

i took some sulfat spray which s against mold but it works great to stick on the leafes, so i mixed this with some of the vertimec against the mites. it totally covers everything where you sprayed, so i will flush it away in 2-3 days should be long enough to get rid of the mites for long time ;)


plants are also big and needed their second feeding, hope they will blast out now because i m planning to get some serious clone action end of the week, surprise surprise ;)


i ll shoot ya with some pics next few days.
