You'll get a chuckle out of this one.... I made cookies the other day (Bubblegum TGA), didn't wash the budder really well and left the dough 'blond', and added chocolate chips.
I get them all done and have them stacked on a platter to finish cooling. 85 2" cookies, sitting there green as a gourd.
It struck me that they would make a heck of a party for 85 Irishmen on Paddy's Day. Being elevated as I was at the time, I just about split a gut laughing at the idea.
Testing revealed that one (at least for me), is a great plenty! So the number stayed at 85.

Im hanging Gnomie. Im hanging...
Check my thread for some recent pics. I hope to be up in May or June.... maybe if I stretch it till Aug I can have a 1 year build party....
Im happy with the progress and results tho which as they say is priceless.
Figured I'd stir up some 'Irish' with that post.Going up to the valley in a couple of weeks. Might find me daydreaming @ Spiney, or stumbling along the Ark....
damn exciting 1st run!
damn exciting 1st run!
well the 1st run in the new room was quite a ride,
really strange going in there this morning for the final scraps
it's so quiet you can hear a pin drop :kitty:
I'll post a few more choice nug pics when everything's dried and bagged and give a final tally on what this room yielded on the 1st run.
even tho 70%+ of the room was from seed I have a quite a few 200+gram plants that are keeper status and one is definitely going to top well over 300g
the big yielders from seed were
CSG strawberry dogshit
and
Mosca's
C99BX1-OT x IBG and OT x Chem4 crosses
these were the big producers so far and test so far have Mosca's gear as A+ for most of his gear
in taste, potency, quality of buzz and yield.
i haven't tested the strawdogs recently but @30 days 5 from 7 were knock outs and @42 days all but but 1 rocked keeper status in potency but I expected A+ pheno's in that crowd given the lineage, KKSC x OG Chem,
and the strawdogs sported the 300+g heavy weight pheno#9
there's still the KQK x secret recipe crosse I made that had some of the largest cola's in the room
still on the drying rack + exicited to to see what comes from these ladies

Hey the gnome, so this is what you've been doing lately. I just skimmed over the thread real quick (will go back and read the entire thing) but all I can say is congrats, you killed it! It definitely back to the drawing board for me lol. Glad I stumbled onto this one. Take care 1
Awesome thread! Care to share final cost? It's gotta be a lot!
Can you point me to a thread or elaborate more on using the water heater? And what all I'll need to use it. I building a 12x8 I split into an 8x8. A 6x4 and entry way. I'm still undecided if I want to seal it or not, and this idea has me very intrigued.

TOO MUCH
seriously, I'd have to add it up,
a few things I bought up to a year before I started the build in sept/13 when they were on a red hot sale, like my mini split
i had some off the hoods and ballasts and other stuff already
just off the top of my head,
at least $8,000 and more like $10,000
i did a quick take on the weight yesterday,
and my 1st preliminary haul is gonna be over 10bows
sooooo, looks like after costs of the room I'll have a little jingle left in pocket
this 1st run i had so much in the room from seed,
so lots of unknowns with the plants and what they would produce and how potent etc etc
so i was hoping to at least break 8-10lbs the 1st run,
which isn't a lot considering what this room is capable of doing
looking at my strains I have to work with now with the next run ,
they the keepers i had and new ones from this gro that are putting out 200+grams each.
I'm confident i can hit 15lbs or very close to it in the next few runs.

thats a consideration for sure,
i just wanted to do what i know and not get fancy 1st few grows and make sure i get some funds.
there was a learning curve I knew i had to master going sealed for my 1st time
and i had the probs heaped on me early in veg,
RH to hi then Rh too low and VPD as a result
and the balancing act that enuses making sure temps rh co2 all work together.
once you think you have it the plants have grown just nuff in 10 days that the room dynamics are off again
from added transpiration rates from the plants being bigger.,
i learned quick the gro room is in constant flux
so on top of that i didn't need to be trying to master some new style of growing.th
is room was a make it or or go down in flames in financial terms.
there's so many styles of growing this room will let me do I'm like a kid candy store for the 1st time... so many optons!
I'd like to move into coco soon, and vert sounds very enticing
exactly jhhnn,
just like building a new house,
you make sure you have a solid foundation 1st
because everything else is built upon that.
dickcorn,
sooo many times people going sealed w/co2 for the 1st time always have 1 regret.
they wish they would've done it sooner!
that is my only regret after my 1st harvest

Yeah man. No first hand knowledge but this build thread led me to reconsider my initial design and go CEA. Gnomie is a real Dude alright. sahwheet.

the gnome, your build is awesome. I have seen that you have offered advice to main people building out their rooms. Look forward to implementing some of your ideas soon. Love the foam walls
