Photo Update!

Photo Update!

Well, for the most part it's the same shit, just want to keep the thread updated. These photos are a couple of days old, and since the humidifier has been running, I have noticed good growth. I think the 20-30% RH was holding them back.
I transplanted this USD clone this afternoon. I had to cull a runt Goosh to make room for it, but I have my top 6 Goosh for my first donut...

Here is an overview of the clone/mother section. I had to defoliate all the Chocolope clones since they were taking over. I topped my backup ECSD mother, and will likely just flower her out since her growth is not even close to the other ECSD.

Here is an overview of the veg section. I culled the plant second from the bottom on the left to make room for the USD. I also placed the humidifier on top of the control bucket, but I want to build a PVC platform in the middle with fans blowing the warm moist air on the vegging clones.
picture.php

Here is a closeup of one of the Goosh in veg. I really need to get these over to flower where I can start to train them, so fucking bushy! Notice the 7 blade leaves coming out...

I have been considering my next steps. I am unsure of the ability of the Goosh to stretch, but I have been considering running my HPS on 18/6 to encourage stretch. If I remember correctly, some people run MH during 12/12 to reduce stretch, so my thinking is to introduce the HPS on a veg lighting schedule in order to encourage stretch, rather than avoid it. The main structure is so damn branchy they need some stretch... I would rather have a weed tunnel, than a ring!

Hey Arm........Stretch can be manipulated by increasing lumen periods , but it also increases internode spacing for the potential budsites during veg mode that end up as scraggly skinny colas after swellage and end of cycle compared to stacked internodes and well defined thicker colas from adequate watts per sq ft IME..........so.....

As I learned first hand and was taught from the best over the yrs , blast your bitches with at least 50 watts per sq ft and they`ll do the best they can strain dependent whether they be indica or sativa dominant hybrids and stretch as much as they can or can`t........

Looks like your goosh is more indica-ish and grows sideways instead of up so it`s all adapt and adjust so they`ll have enough room to breathe and transpire for optimum growth without chokin out into the plant next to her where they compete for light as well as environment..... anyways......

Good luck....DHF...:ying:.....

Thanks DHF! I figured I was fucked running the Goosh with my planned setup, but it all started as an experiment with my DIY cloner. I would have preferred running a stretchy strain, but I figure the blessing in disguise will be an early harvest on my first run in the new room... I plan on running 3 stacked 600s, but maybe the Goosh will only get 2 stacked 600s.
Hopefully, I can at least train and prune them to stretch at least to their potential.
Thanks for your feedback DHF!

30 Hours of Operation My Ass!

30 Hours of Operation My Ass!

My humidifier states that it can run 30 hours without refilling (about 12 on high), and I decided that was not enough! I put a tee off of my control bucket top off, to keep my humidifier full...
picture.php

Here is an overview of the Goosh after higher humidity for a couple of days, looks like they responded well.
picture.php

Here is the USD in its new home. I made sure it had a couple of roots outside the basket when I transplanted it. The plants seem to take off when I have done that in the past.
picture.php

I temporarily positioned the humidifier in the center for maximum effect! I trimmed back the Goosh to the lower left since the 7 bladed fan leaves were choking shit out.

Oh I will, after I grow my beard out this winter. I have always been clean cut, and having too much hair on my face as well as my head is too much...

I transplanted my leading USD last night with 2 roots outside the basket, this morning the roots doubled in number and size! I will post some more pics tonight, as well I will be starting to assemble my flower buckets...

Here is the USD that I transplanted last night. I really am liking the aero-cloner and transplanting to DWC. No cubes, just straight from the cloner into a 6" net pot supported by hydroton.
picture.php

Here is her under-carriage... Keep in mind, last night I transplanted her with only 1/4" of roots poking out of the basket! In the past, I would have to deal with transplant shock, but not this time!
picture.php

The humidifier experiment was a failure! I dont think adding a drip line to keep it topped off, was in the designers plans... Luckily, it had other issues and I was able to return it today.
picture.php

I placed an analog hygrometer down at canopy level, and my humidity was not as low as I figured. I am having concerns about the accuracy of the digital sensors...
picture.php

There is probably a limit that I can keep a clone in the cloner...

This cab was originally my flower room, and I don't need the 6' height. After talking with Mega today about space issues, I started thinking that I should put up some shelves in here. Some of the wire storage shelves from Home Depot along 3 sides would be a great place for my mothers... The 600 MH will be coming out for one, and maybe two T-5 fixtures.

Let me know if anyone is having issues with the embedded large photos. I prefer to see the whole photo on other posts, rather than having to click open new windows. But I don't have connection issues, and some of you may. Just let me know...
 
I thought this would amuse you CA locals, flew into San Diego last night all the way from NC with the head ache from Satan himself and I'm broke, no smoke, and Omg prices around here are like half of what they are back home! I miss my mason jar of Super Haze at home :( lol

Too bad you are 4-500 miles away... Problem with CA, is just cause you are in Cali, can still mean you are more than a state away, lol... Sure wish we had NC pricing!

Hydro goes for $20 a gram in my area, I've heard of it going as high as $35 a gram in the mountains. I unload my garden at $10 a gram to my distro man. My wife is totally in love with San Diego now and wants to move Out here in the future, and I'm thinking to mysel 'why take an income hit and cost of living increase when we just bought an awesome house for way under appraisel. Lol, women!

I wish I had time! I'm hoping my Cuz smokes when I see them tomorrow. Ended up biting the bullet and went to Navy base ER and they gave me Vicodin. Army may not pay enough for the hours we work but you've go to love 100% free medical.

Say Hello To Tami!

Say Hello To Tami!

Tami is my new best friend! We ordered it last week and supposedly had it shipped 2 day UPS, but it went USPS and just showed up today!
There are a couple of threads in the Hash section about Tamisium Extractors. I think QTC posted some detailed results.
I should have it put together tonight and will try to run at least one batch tonight.
I got all my sheet-rock up this morning, and I am going to finish taping the joints before it gets too late. I am picking up a paint sprayer from a job on Thursday morning, and should have my first weed donut up by this weekend at the very latest.
Hopefully I will have some pictures of our new toy in action soon...

Just saw the TPB video haha. Nothing like little sandpaper tongues on your cheeks. So I take it you boarded up the door on your shed to get the cats to move along.
