Because you are great, because I appreciate you so much

and sorry to involve politics but if you are a Ron Paul fan, here is a radio clip concerning the Delegates/civil rights lawsuit. Pretty awesome when he talks about US Marshall's and if you heard about the Louisiana convention you know why. This is great.

Grabbed some better pics..I am hoping I can chop the HPS tent at the end of this month.

I had some setbacks because it has been so long since I've grown with synthetic nutrients and to be honest I was just lazy or got used to organics.

I was never checking my EC or pH that frequently and the plants did develop a good lock out. Also had some PM issues earlier on.

I think I have it all tweaked.

And here is the LED tent with the lights off. These soil bins are completely rockin' it! Day 22 bloom I believe?

 

[Bennyweed1]

Sorry for the sideways pics up above...

Beautiful bins full, benny!

 

[Bennyweed1]

lol damn I went in the tent today and a plant I had on blocks fell over and was right on the lamp. It completely cooked a huge cola!!!

hahaha I was like damnnnnnn, it was probably like a 7g nug! At least it gave me some instantly dry smoke to try. I am so high right now. woohoo!

Good attitude - I'd have been annoyed, then bummed, .. And then stoned.

Ya thanks dude. I cant wait to get this batch out and fill it up with 6 fresh 2ft PPP plants in organic soil. Im no good with this none sense synthetic stuff. I started flushing 2 day ago so I am hoping to chop these broads on the 28th.

LED side is looking awesome.

I chopped my four sour diesel tonight. My first run did not turn out nearly as well as I liked but it was not horrible. Running synthetics is not my cup of tea and I burnt these girls mid way through which really effected the yield.

Everything coming in is organic so I should be able to dial it in real well. I will be happy when I hit the 1lb per month marker. Until then, another day, another dolla.

Six new organic plants loaded in the vert HPS tent. These girls vegged for about 50 days under T5s with one transplant. Five Pure Power Plants and one Pineapple Express.

Well stake them up tomorrow, was to tired after trimming for 5 hours.

I left two plants in there. They need about another week to finish out. One of two:

Here are all four Sour Diesels all trimmed up. Im guessing 5-6oz and 2-3 left on the last two remaining plants.

 

[Bennyweed1]

The sour diesel dried rather quick. It went into jars about an hour ago. The total weight before cure was 6.25oz between four plants.

Not the best but also not the worst for my first round through the tent. I know for a fact the 1lb marker per month is completely in reach.

These plants went through hell and back because I hate using synthetic nutrients. I still managed 10 solid oz with 6 sub pare plants.

This is going to get good. My freedom plan.

 

[Bennyweed1]

Little midweek update because I was bored.

The LED tent is looking good. These LED lights are for sure exceeding my expectations so far. The colas are real tight and long. The plants are doing awesome in there organic beds.

I top dressed all three with a 3-10-8 guano, kelp meal,a 4-8-8 fishmeal and a small pinch of alflafa. Should help induce some heavy development.

How do they look to you so far for being under LED lights? I think they look like they hold potential?

Peace out my fellow cultivators

 

[Bennyweed1]

Here are the six new organic honeys I reloaded the HPS tent with 6 days ago. They are growing like crazy in that Co2.

they look f'n amazing

 

[Bennyweed1]

they look f'n amazing

Thanks heady. One thing about these LEDs are they are behind, or dont grow plants as quickly as the HPS does.

These plants are 35 days in and they look like a 3 week HPS plant. They are stacking nicely though.

So I gotta figure something out to vent my A/C. Now that the heat is here just venting it into the basement isnt cutting it. Things are getting hot down there so I got to vent my A/C outside.

I've seen some brilliant people around here build an exhaust box for their window A/C so all the hot air is that is being transferred is actually collected and sucked outside.

I think I wanna do something like that.

I thinking a nice 6" S&P fan for the job and just building an exhaust box using like a square-ish shallow rubbermaid.

Watcha think? I mean I know if I was venting that a/c unit it would be a ton cooler in the basement as a whole.

If any of you highly intelligent cats want to help me ponder something that would be awesome....

My second issue I have is my dehumidy is running in the tents. The heat is just venting into the two closed loop tents. Is there a method you know of, aside from water cooling, that will allow me to vent the heat that dehumidy is giving off without breaking the closed co2 loop between both of the tents?

Anyway, thanks for any wicked ideas that may come.

I snagged some photos while I was doing stuff.

These batches of plants are really doing good. So healthy and still growing.

HPS tent day 9 of bloom. These girls are stretching like mad.

LED tent day 36. These girls are praying for cooler weather

And here are six new girls that will replace the LED tent when those are cut.

I have not yet transplanted them into their final air pot. I do not want them growing to big for the LED lights. I figure that LED tent has a minimum of 40-45 days left so these girls have a lot of time left still to sit in veg.

The plant in the red is a Jack Flash I picked up from a friend. Cant wait to snag some clones of in case it turns out to be a keeper.

 

[Bennyweed1]

My first harvest Pure Power Plant.

 

[Bennyweed1]

Transplanted everything in the veg tent into their final pots through bloom. These girls will replace the girls in the LED tent so probably another 30-35 days of veg I am guessing.

 

[Bennyweed1]

These vertical plants are really rocking it. My best batch so far. They are still stretching and have I think almost doubled in size since 6/26/12. I think I will hit my 1lb goal with this batch.

I am feeding them a tea once a week starting about 8 days ago. Other then that that are on RO/DI water via the bluemats.

I ordered another float valve so my bluemats resev is automatically topped off. No more refilling anything for me. Pretty stoked about that. Bluemats are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

All I did was place the 5g bucket/resev. on the top of the stair case with the float valve line hooked up to the RO/DI filter. So damn simple yet so damn convenient.

 

[Bennyweed1]

The LED is looking good but is for taking longer then the HPS in terms of growth rate and speed.

I'm curious, what do you think the dry weight will be out of these LEDS? First time I flowered with them and I am really impressed.

There are 6 plants total in there, mini scrog, organic soil beds, about 480w of LED and another 30-35 days left on the ticker for this batch.

 

[Bennyweed1]

Damnitttt, im so sick of trying so damn hard!!!!!

This no good for nothing heat is bustin' my damn ballzzzzz....(no lolz)

GUYSSSS its so hottttt. I need to vent my unvented AC somewhere. IDEAs please....Im soon going to belly up to the Mafia and they wanna kill me!!! im doomed like the beaches of Normandy. FML. SOS.
