Lokes - It took me about 6 months to figure out my camera so good luck with that. Remember when you used to just point, click, pic came out the front, and you just waved it around like a tard for a few moments til it clears up!!?? I miss those days sometimes.


Hammer -The pain from fishing with us is pulling in the 30lb salmon and trying not to spill your beer while Lokes talks trash in your ear!! We need to get on it and get to Eagle lake soon guys!!!!

I'm down to fish anytime, need to dust off my poles. I should be caught up around here soon. Been so much work getting this all off the ground again, and I want to add 2k more next run.

OMG, I got so lucky today. I went in with lights off to check on my dehumidifier as it hasn't been producing water.
The 1x3 I had screwed to the ceiling holding my 8in and lights snapped. the cords were secure though so the light stopped about an inch shy of smashing my plants. It must of happened during lights out, as none of the tops are fried.
Was going to have to take it down to put up my light mover anyway, so I guess my day just got busier.

So yeah, my dehumidifier doesn't work, the RO filter I just ordered leaks like a sieve, and the board holding my lights and fan snapped.

On the flip side, plants are coming a long nicely.

A growers work is never done.

Glad you brought that up Unc. I think I will start building redundancy into anything that could kill my gals in a mishap. At least it got me off my ass to throw up the light mover today. Been procrastinating on that one.

I'm at about 16 day of flower or so; so I'll post some pics soon. Most just crowned so nothing to impressive yet.

I was so looking forward to a lazy day today. Urghh!

Took cutz of all my seedlings, so as soon as they root, gonna throw em into flower and sex the cutz instead of the mumz.

Hey Guys, thought I'd stop in for a short update. Girls are at 23dys flower now and starting to show up.
Had a few trials and tribulations as of late, but its all part of getting a new grow on lock and working through the kinks. Ah the joy of it all. LOL

I ordered a light rai,l however, the mover I have from 1992 doesn't fit the rail. Go figure. So I guess its time to invest a couple hundo to get a new one, as I'm not prepared to upgrade with the other 2k's until next run.
I spent about 3 hours defoliating last night to get some light to the tender bud sites as it was pretty cramped in there with 30 plants under two 1ks.

Here's a pic at day 23 BEFORE I defoliated. (sorry Iphone camera)

It was like 4am so I forgot to take an after pic, but they are looking pretty naked.

As you can see I defoliated quite a bit, these are my fingers about half way through.

I've never defoliated much before, but this strain has some big fan leaves, and the leaf stems are long at about 1.5 inches, so they cover up all underside bud structures and without the mover, they really needed a trim.

I'll take some more pics tonight for the after. I'm pretty confident this won't slow them down a bit.

Also, there had been some yellowing which I thought was low N, which shocked me as I have some VERY, hot soil under the base mix.

However, I started watering twice a day instead of once, and they greened right up. Phew, what a relief.

Scrapped the light mover idea and went and purchased a new RAPTOR hood today, as I already had the ballast and bulb. So we're going 3k's instead of 2k. Hehe.

Thing is a MONSTER!

Now I will get the coverage I need. Going to get the auto water done, as well as hang the new 8bulb T5 in the veg.

Getting there.

Problem is, all this work and effort, but I don't know if this pheno is up to the task. :-(
Was told it was, but we'll see.

So not only do we have to go thru set up, with all its issues, there's still strain selection that has to take place.

Why do I do this again? LOLZ

Where's my compadre? I have started looking back in Oregon for my home. I spoke to the real estate dude and with my 30k down he told me I wont have any issues finding someone to finance me with that kind down paypent.

I found a 4 BR 2230sf brand new for 59k. Im going to go take a look at it next week.

By now you all know I hate this camera. Funny thing is, I know how to take pictures, but can't to save my life with this camera so bare with me.

I added some shooting powder to the rez, as i had it on hand, and figured I might as well use it. Here are the former twigs at week 8 of flower, keeping my fingers crossed.

Some are Frosting UP nicely, while others not quite yet.
