Old School's Sanctuary

The preflower area is 12/12. The only reason I call it that is because plants will only spend 3 weeks under it, preparing for the intensity of the 600 or 1000 watt.

Hey dude. If you have a separate veg/cloning area, then your plan will work just fine if you change the timing up a bit. Unless you are running 12 week strains.

With an 8 week strain you could rotate
2 weeks preflower under 400w
2 weeks flower under 600w
2 weeks flower under 1000w
2 weeks flower under 600w

With a 9 week strain you get pretty close alternating on the 15th and 30th/31st of the month, etc.

No shit!!! When I was a kid I grew indoors for about a year or two and I just had to wing everything (I did have 2 books). Nobody at all to talk to or turn to for advice, I could tell nobody I was growing! I had friends come over and smell the reaking house and be like "Dude, I fucking know you are growing this house stinks of pot" and I would look them square in the eye and say "dude what the fuck are you talkin about?? You are trippin man". Now I can go and pay to have my plants genetically tested and buy clones over the counter. I still am super secretive though. Safe is better than showing off. So now I have an outlet to share and not spill the beans.

looks like it was damaged while germing or on the way out of the seed itself. not an issue.. it might stunt a little bit but id keep it.. I tossed a runt last time and regretted it big time.. I gave it to a friend who kept her and ended up being the best pheno in the seeds.. and then he ended up getting robbed.. and lost it.. so now I lost a very amazing plant kuz I was dumb.

Haha gotta remain incognito. Hard sometimes, hauling around equipment. Had a guy walk up and start talking to me while I was holding the empty box to my 18" wall fan... I feel like that's a strange thing to have in a normal house? Unless it's in a workout room or garage or whatever. Luckily, I don't think he noticed. Safe is always better than showing off. I agree 100%.

My growing mentor who took me in under his wing got me to start an Icmag account. If it weren't for his guidance and the help I got on here I would've been very frustrated with how my garden was doing. IC is great for sharing and connecting with like minded people.

I will definitely do my best to nurse it to good health. My brother has another Sour Lifesaver pheno I gave him so I'm excited to see how that comes along so I can take cuttings. Fuck being robbed. I've got a little somethin for intruders.

The clones have arrived.

The clones have arrived.

I went to grab the cuttings last night and they look very sad and droopy but they will perk up in no time. They were cut on Sunday and are in Root Riots. I'm thinking of giving them a diluted dose of SuperThrive.

Here's my quarantine veg area for the cuttings, took me about 25 second to make haha.

Hopefully they will be happy and rooted soon.

Do you need to use a clear plastic dome with Root Riots?

Yeah I just didn't have it on for that photo. Thank you for looking out though!! Update coming in a few minutes.

Got the 6 x 24" 550 CFM Phresh Filter filter hung and re hung the Vortex fan more securely.

So now my main exhaust is set.

And, the clones seem to be perking up a bit more than yesterday.

Have a great day, my friends.

Gotta say it sorry, the one use out of thousands that duct tape is no good for is for sealing ducts! Replace it with the silver metal tape, and while you are at it wrap all the seams on the adjustable coupling. Looking good and clean though! Real nice setup goin. Always seems like I will be done tomorrow and then tomorrow comes and I realize there is 1 more day of work..... Rinse and repeat.

That's guerrilla tape... still no good? I've got a huge roll of this mylar tape right here just figured the Guerrilla Tape was stronger.. Definitely gotta seal up the adjustable coupling, was on that today. Thanks for you help, much appreciated.

TBH as soon as I posted it I thought to myself... now that is probably gorilla tape... I wonder if the same rule applies? Also that duct tape on venting is mostly a no no when it is on a heater duct. It was a minor thing. I was just being nitpicky so you know I am paying attention.

The room is looking good Old School. You might want to spray some water on the inside of the dome to get the humidity higher for those clones. They will perk right up and you can gradually decrease the humidity over time to encourage root growth. Keep it green bro!

stopped using superthrive at all.. when I saw it make a bunch of strains hermi..

Sounds anecdotal at best. Can you really say you controlled all other variables and you KNOW it was the superthrive? Otherwise you should phrase your post better. I don't like ppl throwing out statements like that without adequate support. It confuses good decision making.

I've been using SuperThrive since day one with really good results. I use it for transplants. Are there any threads on this ?

Thanks, buddy. Good looking out.

Think this is the most recent Superthrive thread.
