Benny

So glad I found the new digs! Albeit a smidgen late, but hey.

Do you have any alfalfa meal on hand? I'd toss about a tablespoon into a gallon of water, bubble it over night, and then hit 'em with that. That's kind of my go-to N source lately, when EWC top dressing or slurry/tea won't cut it..

Thanks man. I have tons of alflafa, its already a staple in the ACT recipe.

I cheated with the purps and used a synthetic.....shuuush dont tell!

Another bunch down, chopped the soil beds today and am not looking forward to trimming it, looks like it is going to take me a long while.

Re loaded the tent with the first round of Great White Shark. Cant wait to see how that strain runs. I hear good things about it.

Here is that tent stocked back up.

Dont know if you can see from the pic but the furthest bed I filled with 10 clones. Never tried this before so I am wondering how all those plants are gonna coincide living close like that.

Here is the 400w bulb. This tent is looking pretty nice. week six @ 1/22/13

Here is the second 600w tent. Week three @ 1/22/13

Here is the veg tent, this is where all the magic starts.

All three beds are 12 gallons each. I think the beds might be do for a soil rotation. I have been reusing those beds and the soil since Feb 2012 doing a no till thing.

anywho, thanks for looking man. Peace.

Nice thread Benny, lookin real healthy in here. Love the health shot idea too, been addin in some bud or fans to my smoothies lately also and i'm likin it a ton.

I'm very curious to see how your vert clone bed turns out. Did they have any veg at all? are they all the same strain? I tried something close in spectrum to this last summer. I had some limiting environmental factors(heat, reduced light) but it wound up doing ok. My problem was that even with some pruning and stuff was that they seemed to want to bush out even as clones with a couple days veg. Perhaps it was cultivar related, or the more likely scenario it was just me lol.

Anyways, love the grow, strains and all the experimentation(subscribed!). Peace!

Thanks for the good words.

The clone bed had no veg, I took the clones from my areo cloner and placed them right into bloom.

This is my first time doing this also so I do not know what to really expect. I have a lot of strains in there too.

4 purple kush
3 Jack flash
1 strawberry diesel
2 pure power plant

lol its gonna be a mess but ill live

Its been a minute since I updated. I change some stuff around and been busy. I did a stacked vertical in a 4x4 tent. The shit has been rocken' it. I have a 600w and a 400w hanging with 12 plants total around it.

To make a cheap shelf to stack the plants I just took the drawers outta a old dresser and removed the backs. You can see in the 4th pic what i mean. Cheap and easy.

This tent I removed all the co2 and went back to the basics, goes to show what over doing it does. Im doing a better yield without all the fancy stuff like co2. I have two 8" centrifugal fans turned down low running @ 400cfm hooked up to carbon filters. One is pushing air into the tent, the other is sucking air out. Both filter are out side the tent. Big mama jammas, like 55lbs each. Ebay rocks! 2 55lbs filters for under $400....thats solid and they are good filters.

The only shitty thing is I still have to hook up some blumats. Hand watering is really difficult with this arrangement. I need 12 more sensors and have to run a long feed line from my reserv. Big pain in the ass

The plants are 3wks into flower. Pic 1 is the bottom row pic 2 is the top row and pic 3 is looking down the middle.

The strains I have now are great white shark, OG kush, pure power plant, jack flash

The ppp is the most skunky. It literally stinks.

Back again

Since last update I have added bluemats to all the plants in the stacked tent and re positioned my reserv because with the addition of the second row I needed to place my reserv higher to provide pressure.

Plants are looking awesome, I think I will be right around the 16oz marker with this run. 8 plants total in this batch. I have it worked out to where I harvest every three weeks. These plants are at 6wks bloom with 3 more to go.
