TheWhiteLotus and his Romulan Diesel Diary

[OvergrowDaWorld]

Beautiful strain Mr.Lotus.
The finished flowers look tasty as hell. And potent!
Hope you dont mind if I pull up a chair......

 

[thewhitelotus]

Thanks overgrow! things are starting to plump up now! Been slowly thinning out some fan leaves over the past couple days....maybe a handful a day....nothing too drastic

not only does it look better, but i can feel more air comin up through the canopy which should help with air circulation

 

[Libeccio]

hey whitelotus, everything is great in this thread. i'll have a better look into your brewer... i would like to build one myself as i'm doing some homemade compost... i also dig your bubble-cloner... for now i stick to the old school coffe-glasses+soil+dome+rooting-hormone method: i have a high percentage of rooting clones, but the bubbler is intriguing... would you say rooting is faster with the bubbler vs. traditional dome method?
i'm here if ya' don't mind...

 

[thewhitelotus]

Thanks for stoppin in Libeccio! I can give ya a parts list if ya want on the brewer....ive now modified it 3 times and i think im done changing things.

In regards to the cloner, i get 100% everytime when i use it.....just ph the water to 5.8, dip the cut in rooting hormone, and just scrape the stem a bit....usually have roots int 8-12 days.

Ive also cloned in just clear cups with coco...those took a tad longer to root and seemed to be more finicky about environment.

looking real good

 

[thewhitelotus]

thanks bug! had a little bit of nice weather yesterday so built a 5x3 raised bed with fabric liner.....a giant smart pot kinda

Also finished building the dripper that hooks up to the hose.....veggies gonna be happy with a nice even amount of water this year

thanks for stoppin in

Ah ha! Now I see. Is the fabric exposed to the air at all, or is it stuck between the dirt & lumber?

(If it's not exposed to the air, what's the benefit?)

 

[thewhitelotus]

Theres no sides to the frame.....just legs. so the entire sides of the box are all exposed to air except where the 6 legs are

 

[bigbag]

is that from Next Generation seeds ? very nice, looks legit !

 

[thewhitelotus]

Bigbag, it is indeed the Rom Diesel from Next Gen. Got the beans from a buddy who got em at a cup in SF maaaany moons ago. I dont keep mothers so I clone each run off the current ones

 

[bigbag]

sweet, said so because I've grown NG Rom Diesel and it looked and your description was bang on ! used her for a few breeding programs, crossed with Reeferman Double Skunk ( Purple Skunk x Skunk ) keep her going, she's rare to find...

 

[thewhitelotus]

thanks bigbag! definitely plan on keeping her!

 

[OvergrowDaWorld]

Thats a great dripper system. I havent used them because of the inconsistantcy of even moisture levels. This one looks like it evenly waters the medium perfectly.

 

[thewhitelotus]

yeah for the outdoor veggies i dont worry so much about coverage....indoors i use blackholehydro halos and in 2 gallon smart pots they work great

 

[silver hawaiian]

twl

Are those on a timer? What kind of intervals? How often do you have to adjust the intervals during the life-cycle?

They look like they'd provide good coverage, vs. a basket stake!

 

[thewhitelotus]

Silver,

the blackhole halos are on a 1/2" poly manifold that goes to a 396gph pump. I have that plugged into a digital timer that does 1 minute intervals. Typically i start out at 2-3 waterings per day in veg then up to 4 in flowering. 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm.

 

[thewhitelotus]

Dabbled in some dollar tacos and margaritas last night so i snapped a couple "i was over served" shots last night. Sorry for the poor quality

compost tea just vortexin

time to go get some more parts for the veggie garden! thanks for stoppin in

 

[chadster152]

[unclefishstick]

[unregistered190]
