Freedom 45! 10x12x8 Evolving Vert Retirement Plan!

[Arminius]

Thanks guys! That is the feedback I was looking for!
Mega, let me know when you get home. Hope you make it home for the big game. I think I may wait til tomorrow morning to chop since I will be dropping off the boys at 9, then I can trim and take some shots in normal lighting.

 

[Arminius]

The Goosh are chopped, trimmed, and drying. Not too impressed with the bud structure, not sure if it is genetics, or the 4 day power outage in the middle of stretch, or if I did't pluck enough sucker branches... I have much higher hopes for my Sativas anyhow, and the Goosh was just a place holder.
I need to get the first donut back up and running, and was thinking some plants are better than none at this point, since the room is only running at 2/3 capacity right now. The Blue Dragon clones are doing nicely, and adding some growth under the T-5s. I was planning on vegging them to 24", but I think as soon as I build the screens this weekend, I will put them in then.
I will post some pics later today, or tomorrow. Pretty beat up, trimming for the last couple of days takes it out of you.

 

[Arminius]

Here are some shots from the other day, not really feeling too good about the dry weight, we shall see I guess. All three photos are from one of the smaller plants. As Mega pointed out, some of the genetics are from a hash plant, so that would explain the lack of buds, but insane amount of trichomes. At least I have a use for the trim...

Sprayed down the diesels with an insecticide soap as a whetting agent with some neem oil to finish off the Borg. The Mitey Wash knocked out about 95% of them, may have killed them all if I didn't run out.
We are entering the 6th week for the diesels, just about the halfway point. I will be flushing and rebuilding their nutes to get a fresh start on swellage...

dude, that looks yummy to me... my favorite headstash grows like that, afgani lookin with freakish amounts of resin. she might help you enjoy your retirement, if not finance it..;-)
smoke report please?

my 2 cents on the racks, tried it once and went back to coathangers. buds look better dried on the stem and hand trimmed fresh. IMHO. in my mind it's that kind of thing that separates primo indoor from outdoor...

congrats on the harvest!!

Thanks Chunky!
I am possibly regretting trimming too tight on the fresh trim, but should be OK when dried. Looking at the bud as they are drying, they are covered in crystals...

 

[Arminius]

Looks like everything is dry and ready to be snipped off the stems, and jarred tonight. Will post dry weight and pics tonight.

 

[Arminius]

I was a bit worried about the yield, but just snipped the first (smallest) plant, and she weighed in at 55.7g. The last one should be double that. I will update later when I am done.

 

[megayields]

Wow I think that is pretty good, if I got 55g's per plant x 85 uhhh (hold on).....I would have......OMG 11 lbs!!!!!!!

Needless to say I would probably have to be re-admited to the hospital if that happened.

On a totally different subject I just upgraded to the PanzerKamphwagon Pzkpfw IV (4), is it the pig I think it is?

 

[Arminius]

The Panzer IV is actually a really good tank fully upgraded, a good money maker. I am about halfway to my Panther II...
Second plant in at 56g even, the bigger ones are coming up.

 

[Hundred Gram Oz]

Well done bro, I hope you get a heavy one.

 

[Arminius]

Ended up with 12oz even. I could have only ran 1 light with 30" plants, but a light only cost me 20$ a month.
Going fishing for a couple hours, then putting my screens together and transplanting the blue dragon by tonight hopefully.

 

[megayields]

I wish my lectricity cost only $20 a month mine is over $800 (goddamit)...gunna chill to to some Ted Nugent Stranglehold atm...and just mellow out and then go look at the ladies!

Blue Dragon will so rock those DWC buckets!

Have fun fishing! You go to the wharf or Loch Lomond?

 

[Ichabod Crane]

My electric was about $400 last month. It cost me about $80 to add another 1000 watt light.

 

[Arminius]

I fish the San Lorenzo and other coastal creeks for Steelhead. The river levels are still too low, we need more rain!

 

[megayields]

Aye we do....I don't ave the patience for fishing

 

[Arminius]

Got the Blue Dragon into the flower room last night. I still need to finish 2 screens, but I was too ripped on BHO that I could not find them... I could have left them to veg another 3-4 weeks, but there roots are developed enough, I would rather have less downtime. I will be taking a round of cuts from them pretty quickly and will have 6 more to replace them in 8 weeks. I have 6 ECSD in veg that are approaching 24". I either have to set up the 3rd donut pretty quickly, or make them veg for another 5 weeks until Sativa donut is done. If money wasn't so tight I would just throw up that 3rd donut, we will see what happens over the next couple of weeks.

Here is a view of the USD through the Chocolope.

Another shot of the USD. I have a bare spot that I will be filling up in the next couple of days. I have a lot of branches that I had to overlap when they were stretching, now I can remove the paperclips on some of them to re-position them. I will also be plucking some leaves at that time...

Here is the ECSD, same bare spot, will get retrained also.

A close up of the USD, almost 40 days in.

A Chocolope close up.

I am picking up some scrap lumber today so that I can expand my veg room to accomodate 18 vegging plants, plus my clones and mothers.

 

[Arminius]

Had a somewhat busy last few days. I got sick of the leaking diy cloner, and picked up a 24 site turbo cloner. I put in 8 blue dragon, and 3 ECSD last night. Added two USD clones to my bonsai mum project. The new cloner takes up half the space so I will have a space for the mums. They should only take up an 8"x8" area, which should allow me to keep at least a dozen different strains.

My ECSD had to be topped since they were already 24"tall. They don't have the root structure yet to support that weight, and would have fallen over if I hadn't. After seeing what one of my flowering ECSD did after having a dozen tops taken, I think I will be having the diesels dialed with topping, and a60 day veg, I will have every square inch of my screens with buds.

I readjusted, and defoliated my ECSD, and chocolope today. They are filling in more and more each day. My stunted chocolope has some amazing buds! I can't even image if they were 4' tall. I tossed my chocolope cuttings that weren't gonna make it. Note to self: when putting cuttings into your cloner, make sure you plug in the pump... I would really like to get my hands on some sourlope, and drop the chocolope, but I will likely just reveg one of them to keep the genetics. It is supposed to be an amazing smoke, so we will have to see before I make any permanent decisions.
I will likely have to edit this post later, after this bho rip stops ringing my ears...

 

[megayields]

Looking good bro (2 thumbs up)

Enter the Mantis!

Enter the Mantis!

Picked up a new pest erradication system today. I spent a total of $15 on 1,500 ladybugs, and a mantis egg sack.

Also, picked up some Cali Orange clones. Will be working in the garden for a few hours doing the last of the training on the Diesel Donut.

 

[Hundred Gram Oz]

Nice buy my man.
