Philthy, Unc, frank and all those other guys wouldnt stand a chance.

'Just send those beans on over - contest is done.'

On 2nd thought, that hardly seems fair. I withdraw so others may have a fighting chance.

I am, obviously, great like that - and terribly humble.

hahaha thata boy!

My thoughts exactly.

:friends:

Someones busy... getting right ripped!

 

[RosettaStoned]

Gnarly buds man! Hope yer enjoying the harvest

 

[LyryC]

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys!

School - work - one man trimmer - photographer/editor - this shtuff is time consuming! Plus I need to expand big time so glad the SCxSSSDH is going to be a HUGE harvey for me.

That test grow was a success.

And I have been extremely well medicated recently ^_^

big update coming for the SSSDH thread - #1#3#4 harvested!

Bud shots also - and the phone rings

 

[LyryC]

Maybe just maybe might hit 2 elbows this grow.

Over 1 right now but I don't think 2 will be a reality - lol i feel stupid

 

[wildgrow]

I forget the dimensions of your tables and wattage of your lights, but maybe a 3/4 wrap of t5s on the walls would give you that extra boost. And don't forget that you had some unproven, low yielding genetics in there too.

2 600 cooltubes 1200 watts.

4x2 trays but till I redo the ducting - light positions - and get the new floor / the room cleaned - I won't be upgrading anything for flower - except maybe some new bulbs.

Maybe the bulb shit is right - one bulb is on its 4th grow - the other its 3rd. Heehee

But I'm still happy as fuck - I keep increasing yield - flavors - smells and quality on my flowers.

I like that t5 idea but it will reduce space - increase costs and probably boost heat significantly.

And like you say unproven genetics.

I just need to get a real veg area situated. Then organize my genetics to keep a few keepers - tomorrow is the verdict for lots of plants.

one tray will be trellised soon

 

[wildgrow]

Hmm, plenty of w/sqft. What about tracks to move your lights from one end of the table to the other? Sure its only a couple of feet of slide, but it will increase your yield enough to hit that 2 elbow mark. 1 round trip each hour of lights on should do it.

New bulbs will surely help if they've got that much time on them.

Trellis could be a big help too, keeping the tops evenly spaced.

I think youll get your 2 and then some on this next round.

 

[LyryC]

i been working on the plants and been around the boards real quick. nice job everyone - awesome harvests for all!

Flower room is practically filled up except the tray with teh big plants could use a few more.

round 2 for the SCxSSSDH but they will be much smaller.

Last night i weighed in scxsssdh #1 #3 and #4.

I'm 1 ounce short of 2 elbows. with scxsssdh #6 alone I will be hitting over 2 elbows - but add in that jack33 and well i did better than I thought.

man I wish i could just sit here and puff #4 and catch up with you all - but I got a few worksheets to hand in for school and the greenhouse needs tending as well and then I have to propagate a lot of succulents tonight - along with some clones of cannabis.

I can't wait to quit my day job lol that slavery shit is draining me

Tracks not worth the trouble - extra power - weight - noise and the ducting would suck... BUT MAYBE I can get a 1k and have it rotate in place lol

86$ for 600 watt hortilux hps from the local spot - can't wait to get those later - I should do that tmrw

That prediction is spot on -

 

[LyryC]

got fresh root riots so lets see if I can successfully clone something - like this bad ass Jack Diesel I got goin - mmmm

I can't even aero clone lolololol sigh - I need more time to focus on my canna garden

 

[wildgrow]

Oh man, I almost forgot about Jack. Hows she stacking up?

I had a couple of failed clones in root riots. I opened them up and they had tiny squiggly worm/larvae in them - and mine are factory direct!

Im now mixing powdered DE with water to soak them in. Let em soak, squeeze, soak, squeeze... so I know the DE is penetrating. I cant be 100% on where the wigglers came from, but better safe than sorry.

 

[LyryC]

too much fun!

too much fun!

Where do i begin?

I got some plants on day 32 others on day 3 and 2 on day 76.

We got Blackwater Og Pheno #3 round 2, Night Terror OG Pheno #2 Round 2, Vingtage 2006x2 round 2, Jack33 round 2, and Jack Diesel all on Day 32 week 5.

They are in the 9x9x9 Hydrofarm square pots - in reused coco - working out fine.

Going to be a real juggle feeding all these different bloomers - yay! The first jack33 isn't done yet and its on week 11 but i think senescence started. So that plant alone needs big bud for fucking ever...

The YumboltxVintage2006 round 2 is one week exactly behind Day 25 Week 4. All the while the Night Terror/Blackwater go 9-10 and the vintage is 7 weeks lol... taking them to 8 maybe 9.

So those start over drive soon while others need big bud - and now the Day 3 fuckers will need Bud Ignitor next week - the bucket lid juggling gets crazy but soon i'll have this nice perpetual routine locked in with hopefully a scrog soon of some NT/BW OG.

 

[LyryC]

Jack33

Jack33

Holy fucking shit. Day 76 Week 11 - I think Senescence started.

The other Jack33 is on week 5 Day 30 and It's looking like its going to run just as long - but thank god its not a mega size 6 foot fucking elephant dick flopping monster! I hope it doesn't get bigger than 4' bamboo sticks.

Anyone hear of Jack Herer going for say 13 weeks?

A few nugs broke - day 3 or 4 of drying. We'll see wtf is up.

Trichs are still mostly clear - but starting to fog up.

Heres the round 2 Jack33

Day 30 week 5

Check out how bad I failed these aero clones - NO IDEA what is wrong either - I think no direct light source might have done this - but it looks like some sort of mold attacking them - open for all help on this subject!

 

[Coconutz]

I cant get them to root without enough light, but they will wilt if they get too much.
No direct light and you sprayed them? That seems like the probable cause. They shouldnt be getting much airflow so thats hard to do.
I cut my clones and stick them in a glass of cold tap water for a couple of hours.
Then I stick the cutting in some $5 rooting powder from home depot and into a styrofoam cup of coco.
I take a shot glass and water them with warm tap and then place them in a humidity dome in my bathroom.
Ill play with the openings on the dome over the next couple of days. Opening them 1/2 for a while at first, and work them up to tolerating it without a dome.
Just like with seeds, if its cold out you want a heatmat under them set to 75. (You need temp control for this or you will rot your stems.) This makes all the difference in the world.
I do not spray them, or the dome.
After they look like they have adapted to the dome I take it off and leave them in my bathroom for a day or two before I stick them off to the side of my T5 or T8(depends on time of year)
I water with just tap water until I see them start to yellow, then I hit them with 6/9 and put them directly under the light.
I try not to overwater them before they have roots. You want wet dry cycles, but not too dry.

 

[wildgrow]

Have you lowered or stopped nuting that big Jack yet? I damn near starve sat heavy expressions like that. Too much food and you can make plants hold on longer than they or you want. I guess in coco pebbles (the medium youre using) you might not want to go nuteless - just a guess.

Baby Jack looks real nice! So do the other lil girls.

I cant understand why youre having such a hard time with cloning - esp since you've got that fancy cloner. You clean everything and rinse thoroughly, right? Maybe you need to dumb it down.

I strip the leaves I wont need, cut long and immediately stick in a glass of water. Then set my prepped plugs in a black take-out dish. Take the cutting and give it a fresh angled cut (I like to make that cut through a node), dip in the water then in cheap rooting powder getting a big clump of it on the end and into the plug. I put about 1/4 in of water in the dish by dribbling it over the tops (bottoms in my case) of the plugs so that the powder washes over the outside of the plug. This carries some of it into the water surrounding the plug bases so that as they draw more water in they are drawing the excess powder in too. Under a couple of cfls in a warm closet (no exterior walls) and its all good. Besides the plugs with those wigglers, I almost never lose a clone.
