Con-vert

First I would like to pass out the rep to inspirations, Aero, Marlo, Mega, Hundred gram, dhf, bobble and whodair. Such great gardens.... And if you feel you are top notch and need to be listed, I've got room to add you to the list no questions. Well I'm in the desert with a horizontal 600 cool tube defoilating a perpetual garden of 3x3.5x5.5 culled a small auto hobbit and reading these vert threads planning a bare bulb in the desert heat. Said to myself.... If I wait for the other two plants to finish.... My god that's two months.... Without putting any plant in that means....no pot for approx.three months. Not doable. I perpetual harvest every four to six weeks with about two zips per harvest and a week before harvest I usually down to scraping and roaches and I'm tired of it... Dick it...... I'll Con-Vert tonite.. what I will loose in weight from the already half way through flower white widow and bubble cheese switch to vert orientation..... I will gain back just by going vert... And hopefully more... So here is my sardine space for the moment... I threw in blue dream from clone, white widow from clone and seedism diesel for a variety first run.

I did pull some cuts of the blue dream to run a mono crop next..
So my temps inn the desert are so sweet to me... 100F in the spring.... I run my a/c 24/7 to keep my temps down but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the temp, my 710cfm ebay special fan is hardly even staying alive..... So I pulled my cool tube out and some ganja because I had about twenty minutes before my bulbs are cool enough to remove and reinstall into the cool tube. Yeah I unplugged during lights on... It took about an hour to reduce my lumen output...

Every thing I do I do it myself.... Thanks to the diy thread a stanley blower mod is keeping my temp at 82 F atm.... I so loved to see my bulbs naked flashing my girls but cool tube is the only way to keep them alive in the dry climate.... Ime

Thanks to cravenmore I had a reducer available to drop a couple more degrees from hell..

nice mate great set up that aero gave us to feast on! all the best withh it the widow is a winner for me all the time cant fault it!
 
St3ve :joint: thanks for stopping in the widow is day 42 in the pic... Funny its turning out pretty nice for starting with four weeks horizontal before the convert:woohoo: the big one behind it started in flower about a month prior to the widow its about to start the bulk process I heavily defoiled, it will be the last time I run it it tastes great but always takes months to finish. The three smalls are starting wk 2 blue dream, diesel, white widow






Sqydro :joint: your right.... That widow is always top notch buddy... Thanks on the set up, dialing....dialing.. :watchplant: I am still working on the room so I am running perpetual but once that :watchplant: becomes dialed I am anxious to run a mono crop to see what I can really get out of it...

Thanks for checking it out.. One love
 
SH thanks for sticking it out but it is boring compared to your grow. Respect. Thank you those cages were thrown in there without thought.... Ha ha ha I need to veg out for them to be useful but I am liking them.for perpetual its nice. I fill each bucket individually so each plant with cage, 5 gal and a rolly cart make it all musical dwc when I jam some Marley. I remember someone in your thread mention chlorine for cloning... Sorry to high for a effort on the search button... I have to say I use tap water for my bubble cloner... So easy and so many roots and makes monster cropping easy too. I have a buddy who was using ro water with a hard time to get clones any method until switching to tap with alot of chlorine in our system... Thats it no powders, gels or luck... Just tap I just built this cloner and just make sure I Dont let the water drop... Babyshit(DHF)...

I also had to rebuild my kif box... I recommend going to michaels... the shadow boxes are 40% off right now... Every thing i do from rolling to trimming is done over this screen a screen printing screen from michaels too... My old box that I broke the glass is now this lid...no more dust or dog hair in my pressed hash lol..

 
Hey my previous pix bomb root porn is from my diesel and widow wk3 in flower not associated with the three other widow wk6pix sorry for ruining your browsing experience.



Silver Hawaiian, its a124 holes per inch screen can also be bought at michaels its in the screen printing section. Also since you should be going there .. pick up a clay extruder and check out Pipedreams thread in diy 20$ hash press here is some pix of blue dream trim grade B taken from atop the screen and pressed. I think its one awesome tool for every day smoking to trimming up some buds..

Hey bro :wave: Nice stacked grow ya got going on there? What strength, & PH are you currently feeding at, and which nutes are ya using? Your girls are looking good but I think I can see some slight Nitrogen toxicity, the leaves will go glossy/leathery & very dark green when they are uptaking too much Nitrogen, lowering the EC & upping the PH will help you. Too much Nitrogen will also give you stretchy pants with leafy buds.

Keep up the good work brother and a big (late) welcome to vertville! :)
Peace

High HGO, thanks for stopping in. I actually just switched to k.i.s.s during bucket change, added a bit of blackstrap molasis and silica blast and this girl stopped drinking and got burned by the light? Don't know because it was just the front side there so Ic changed out my nutes excluding the blackstrap and I am keeping a close eye ..but prior that I have used the useless formula with gh 3 part for years without any problems. Never check my ph or ec ... Mabey your right on the nitrogen but I hardley have stretch in fact I think I subconsciously stopped my others from stretch.... I'm so used to training for short plants... I love to pull off every fan leaf at once to stop stretch, it feels so wrong but so right.... I am still dialing in buti know I need to veg a bit longer, raise my lights and not pull all my leafs until end of stretch with exception of bud site blockers.... I'm sure I will be happy with the results... But please take a look at these pics and let me know what you think.... Hats off to your knowledge.... Respect

Other than verifying what my ph was during the nute switch to kiss I knew what ph down scored 5.8 approx with gh liquid tester but now with the kiss + silica blast its on target without up or down... Tap water son.... I have a buddy gave me some shishkaberry x2, mazar and blue moonshine all in soil so I have miracle grow for herbs and veggies could I just use this instead of ffof? I will pull cuts for future but thinking to throw en in pretty quick for shits and giggles...
 
:tumbleweed:
Well my white widow got the chop at day 57.. The girl wasn't looking good and a quick back track I accidentally put about four times the koolbloom powder
When switched to kiss... So she basically looked finished anyways.. Fresh trim and weights to come..
 
Thanks for stopping in Silver.. No I'm not giving up on kiss yet my mistake....
Final dry weight 45g... Not to bad..... Not to good either... Seeing as she was switched to vert about wk4
Without proper training or cutting the fluff from the back (i should have).. I have one more girl who was switched to vert midway and I'm going to be upset at he weights too probably.. But I am still dialing and will go bare bulb when I upgrade my fan to like a max fan or vortex... I don't know which kind maj. cottonmouth runs a Elicent plus, can't remember but basically the cheapo that I bought yeah came with carbon filter and some badass 710cfm but doesn't have enough umph to keep my grow reasonable without the cool tube.. Enough bull here is some pix
 
Silver I know right... Tiny I put those to flower with only a week of veg because I have 3 plants going to flower about every four to six weeks... My next batch to flower is the same three strains but with adequate veg time and trellis training you can see something worth your time then. I am going to dial everything in once a quality fan is installed and cool tube removed then you will see a mono crop... I will add some pix shortly...
