Plan on revegging it but I've never done it before so I need to read up a bit on what other people have been doing.
Chop chop Im jeaulous. As far as revegging we used to leave a few of the smallest branches w/leaves on them, so you have a few nodes. On here you will find people going 3-4 weeks on 24 light until they start seeing vegetation pop. We used to go 5 weeks or more, because we would go 18 on. I gave up the practice for mothers, but it has its advantages, it's a bad-ass technique but common to annuals more than cannabis itself.



Those fans have great static pressure. I like that you are keeping that thread updated with great info. For sure and its the best way but hard in small setups obviously.
I think the flaw with my flat filter design is that the fan is only pulling directly under it so it used that carbon up pretty quick because the pressure isnt equal across the entire filter.
I think Blynx's scrubber works because of how his fan is. The intake opening is as big as his entire filter. if i applied that same concept to my fan i should only have a 3 inch cylinder of carbon.
Thanks! There needed to be a post to share info, thats all I was thinking. ScrubNinja, did a great thread in the past, but I had more questions :dance013: Hopefully you will have a breakthrough.
I have some more thoughts but you will just have to check out my thread [which I still need to make], I made up a ton of designs, I have a few ideas that are intermixed of everybody's so far, you, quinoa, micro2, tremolo, [sorry if I forgot anybody else]


For a scrubber less design for a blower i have been thinking about using a small container..for instance i have this small tin container that my watch came in...cut a hole the exact size of the blower exhaust for the tin to fit around and then put a small amount of ONA in it and poke holes on the top of the tin. I check my plants at least once daily making it a part of my routine to check the ONA may not be that big of a deal. takes 1 second to plop some down and mix it up. That way no resistance from the scrubber with a small blower fan still keeps me optimal - and better than where i was with the scrubber. Tex runs an ONA filter box and he never seems to have a problem with his smells. Something to consider...
I have run ONA before, but only in bigger grows, with good results. Tremolo made a point about cylinders: as there is more surface area on a cylinder than a flat scrubber. I think you will get it figured out quick enough yo!

looks like some dense tasty nuggets! can't wait to see how much it yield dry.

Sorry but I forget, was that your only plant? Or do you have more in the cab ripening up?

We think along the same lines you and I...

Neighbour comes over, smells dope. Bad news.

Neighbour comes over and hears loud fans. Bad news.

Neighbour comes over and the only thing they think is I have ugly furniture. I can live with that.

If it's in your closet, (and don't give a fuck what it looks like) out of view you'll have this dialed with the kwickness.

You can build a padded box to put your fan in, speed controller, even build your plywood box to cover the filter. An opening in the back facing the wall obviously to let it exhaust.

Good luck, can't wait to see what ya do with the place. :tiphat:

I may just build that padded box... For the fan and something separate for the filter. I have at least 2 mints to plan it out because I'm not gettin my fan/ scrubber back until my friend finishes flowering out his blackberry. So ill prob produce some designs here in a bit. There are a couple of us here that think alike but bring a different view and I'm thankful for the people that have given me input on this thread and are sticking around. Good people's for sure. I bought a half gallon carton of choc milk the other day so that I can try and use it in the cab as you suggested!

I may have missed this but you can't grow?


=D
 
Looking real great Chloemobile, you have me tuned in!
really looking forward to seeing your idea of a great DIY Scrubber.
im diggin the Colloidal silver project you have going on. do you keep it in a separate grow space? everything looking real sick brotha! K+

Yeah something about the courts not wanting me to grow weed while currently being on charges for growing weed...stupid laws n' shit...

So I was looking at the size of that plant you cut....then I went back to the first page of your thread and looked at the pic of your cab...then went over your dimensions again...

If you recessed your containers into the floor so the tops of them were even with the bottom of your lights...you could put a shelf in that sucker and run twice the numbers...

And this is what happens when I can't grow dope...gotta show up n' run my mouth off in other peoples threads. :tiphat:

Way to go, that is a delicious looking budsicle! :canabis:

I was intrigued by the ONA gel when I saw Tex using it, too, but one of the amazon reviewers describes it as smelling like "lemony fresh scent/ zebra stripes bubble gum". That put me off a bit, since having an ONA odor is not the same as having no odor. Have you ever used it?

It's tempting to go for the increased airflow, not having to pull through carbon. But it's wintertime, and temps aren't a problem right now. Maybe the ONA can be a seasonal thing, like it would be fine as long as the windows are open.

High again friends,

Yield was nothing special. But the nugs are exceptional quality.

Have been busy lately haven't had as much time to do much to the garden except for the new seeds. Besides that things are just growing.

Hey man that's not that bad of a yield! I have had worse then that!

You could fill up a cab with a bunch of those and easily get over a OZ. or you could flower you plants in bigger pots so you have more rootspace and in turn bigger buds...

Thanks sour :) Im excited to apply my wisdom acquired from each grow to the next. Next batch should be really on point.


Took some pics of the remaining plants

Looking good Chloemobile, how much longer you going to wait on that last girl? Shes looking nice and dense. And I see you have some new additions, what is your next bacth going to be? Good luck with your next run.

Thanks HappySloth. I'm not sure actually about how long. I haven't been keeping track of time just letting them let me know when they are ready. Took these pics tonight. Mostly cloudy and clear. Maybe a small amount of amber too can't tell yet. When its mostly amber I can tell with my phone camera lol.

The new seedlings are bag seed. Hope they work out. Hoping for a nice sativa. Really been craving some creative/epiphany inspiring bud. Still waiting on some feminized seeds from my colodial silver project. Can't really tell if seeds are forming or any thing yet.

Do self hememie seeds make exact replicas of themselves like a clone would or are you still able to get some different phenotypes from the seeds.

Will post some more updates next week

Chloe....outstanding sugar!

I will dig out a few links in my post history. Lot's of "hermie" talk. You can read about that later, if you want. I will drop them in an edit. Hermaphrodites, are actually fairly rare, technically it is a flower that is showing both male and female flower traits.
Having female flowers and male flowers on the same plant is a dioecious reversal of sorts, not a hermaphrodite. Basically it's inbreeding. [S1's]


My experiences are this:
Im popping bagseed, but it was from a reputable breeder. How-ever the stuff they do, I don't even want to go into, to easy to give away, think Monsanto tactics.

They were supposed "hermed" seed, from my original caretaker. I raised 1 round, I have identified 3 varieties, a diesel, a highland sative [tastes like licorice] and something that looks like Stinky Pinky. I also have other variations, so everything isn't always the same.

Out of 35 seeds last year [S1's], 1 reversed on me outside at about Week 5 or 6. I picked off all the balls and never had another one sprout and finished harvesting without a problem another 4.5 weeks.
I ended up seeding two the diesels and one or two of the highland sativa [its a short bitch] and 2 [S2's] of those seeds are in my Micro-fridge.

Out of those 35 seeds, I also lost maybe 4, so out of 30 seeds or so....... all turned out female. I didn't even sex any of them, just threw them into to flower or outside.

My S2's seem to be following the same pattern, they were thrown into flower without being sexed and all are female, so fingers crossed.

[One last thing I noticed. Another S2 is currently in the veg cab, its a mother and has traces of the purple highland short sativa, yet it threw auto pre-flowers? I guess about two weeks ago, no more developed and I picked them off, vegging away as usual under 17/7.

Nice grow. I'm thinking of doing something similar. But I want to use 4x55 lights and about 16 plants. I want to use 2 liter bottles. And I want a similar perpetual sog. I plan on running a few different strains. So they probably wont be harvested on a regular schedule of every so many weeks. I'm have been inspired by your work. I was thinking or getting a 250w hPS and running it horizontal. It vertical with Pl l lights looks like a better option for my plan.

Oregonism: Thanks for the info that's good news to me im looking forward to the different varieties. I like reading about other growers research/observations.

Weezy: I've been considering adding a third bulb or a 70 watt hps once I get my fan back from my friend. I'm making my way up to 2 liters well 1.89 liter cartons I def think I can pull 13-15 grams per 2 liter with my current setup. Good luck with your setup :).

Update next post

Next harvest is a week away. Plant got its last watering. Its looking scrumptious.

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1362709378.619628.jpg

This plant is looking nice too. Leaves are fkd from touching the lights but its buds look so nice. I hit the lower buds with some feminized pollen and some seeds are popping out ....really happy about that.

I used the pollen from my colodial silver plant on my friends blackberry hoping these seeds turn out nice. So I didn't need anymore pollen so I chopped the plant. I've read you shouldn't smoke CS weed. but I'm a risk taker ( or idiot which ever you prefer) so I've been smoking it. It gets me high. It's like mids. I'm dry right now so its better than nothing.
