LSWM's 3k Vert Donut's @ 7000ft!

[LSWM]

looks like your yield improved. I like the way the buds looked even way down on the bottom branches. way to work the vertical.

btw, the blossom end rot on tomatoes and peppers is a calcium def

Thanks, I still don't have any final weights on the last tray yet. Filled two 5 gal buckets with nugs +small branches attached so I'd say yield is definitely better. I'm guessing ~2#'s. Nugs were smaller due to extra budsites and a slight bit premature due to me pulling them at 9.5 weeks vs 11. Still extremely stinky and flavorful however. I hate trimming this strain though, took me 2 hours to trim an oz and a half yesterday from stem to final manicure, and I ended up with almost a half oz of trim + nugs too... Lots dabs to come, unfortunately this strain doesn't wax up well either... Oh well 3 more strains in 4-5 more weeks!

As for the peppers ive read some conflicting information about calcium or mag def being the issue, which may be, but i found that i was over/underwatering and possibly actual deficiencies due to rainy monsoonal weather, I found that if i covered them or moved them under something while it rained no end rot showed up afterwards.

Weve got 4 days right now of monsoonal thunderstorms randomly passing through with sunny skies in between so ive been moving them and covering them as the sky gets dark or overnight. Seems to have solved those issues. Jacks seems to grow peppers perfectly, I just needed to take a little more care of the plants!

My phone broke this week and was my only source of internet, and i just fixed it but I'm away from the spot for a few days and left the sim card at home...

Using a friends internet at the moment, and will get some proper updates next week. Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[LSWM]

So my phone is back up and running, and I'm back at the spot. The plants I just put into flower stretched a bunch while I was gone, but otherwise everything is looking great!

I picked up some new bulbs for these gifted MH ballasts, hoping someone can help me out with the issues I'm having.

Here's the thread discussion my issue: Brand new MH bulbs flicker but won't fire

 

[LSWM]

Apparently the bulbs fired when the timer flipped on, but not while I was present, lol.

Might need new Caps. Idk we will see how things progress.

What's the NPK of your feed mate?

Flower Room #2 @ ~18 days 12/12

Tray #1 Wifi first then DTB #1 and a random bagseed BS 2.1 I wish I would have put the Wifi on the other tray with the TW as it STRECHED like crazy.

What's the NPK of your feed mate?

I use Jack's Hydro + CalNit which is 5-12-26 and 15.5-0-0. When mixed at the ratios I use it comes to about 15-12-26. The TW and DTB @ 6 weeks have been getting random 5 gal buckets of dry Koolbloom mixed into their reservoir which is 2-45-28.

I've thought about dropping the CalNit but haven't tried it yet.

 

[papaduc]

What EC?

 

[LSWM]

What EC?

I mix pretty hap hazardly by volume, so anywhere from 1.0-1.4 gets thrown into the reservoir for each room. I figure it balances out at ~1.2.

When I left for a few days I mixed up a 2.5 EC mix in my bulk RO res and had it feeding each room's res on a float valve. When I came back things had leveled out to ~.8 EC but there were burnt tips on the plants @ 6 weeks. No other signs of over fert however.

Looking through other photos of people's OG plants I'm thinking this WiFi may be seriously Fire OG leaning. I've been looking for some real OG for some time, and I've done everything short of going and purchasing a clone at the dispensary.

Bought these WiFi beans as soon as I saw them come into stock, and somehow managed to kill 6/7 of them. $120 down the tubes. Oh well you live and learn, sometimes too much love can kill. I've got these 5 "Simpson Kush" seeds (SFV OG x Fruit of the Gods) I received free with the WiFi's and I popped them recently with great success. Hopefully get something with some Lemon Fuel smell out of one of these ladies.

Built this lamp holder today. Stole it from IC's thread here: Vertical Scrog

It will hold a 400 watt 7,500k metal halide and be going into my TW donut that I just flipped a couple weeks ago.

 

[LSWM]

I'm liking how that stacked bulb is looking in the donut, I may just do it with my other donut in flower room #2.

1400 watt donuts watch out now!

 

[LSWM]

Just set up the second metal halide bottom bulb. I'm rocking ~32 amps on my 40 amp 220 breaker now. Both rooms running off their own T104, 3,000 watts on one, 3,400 watts on the other.

6,400 watts of lighting in flower right now. If I could pull 1 GPW off all of that, shit would be looking really good. I'd be lost in a pile of nugs and be forced to trim my way out. Sound like a really good problem to have.

Back to work!

Its the best dam problem to have. Good luck on meeting ur goals. Nothing better that yield going up and trim time staying the same. Did u end up stacking bulbs?

 

[LSWM]

Yes I ended up stacking two 400 watt 7,500k metal halide bulbs using IC's PVC holder. I ended up with the legs slightly taller at ~17". This is on the DTB#1/WiFi tray and the TW tray. Both in Flower Room #2.

I doubt I actually hit 1 GPW on all these. The trays that are ~6.5 weeks into flower might hit 2 #'s from a 1k but I over vegged them and they have way too many nodes, so I think not only will nug size be down, but so will yield. Although screen coverage is top notch, lol.

These trays @ 2.5-3 weeks are looking much better, nugs are getting way bigger due to proper pruning and training. I took a grip off of them in the week before and first week of flower. Although I think these will be much more likely to break 1 GPW, after adding another 400 watts to each donut, I don't see it happening. 3#'s from 1 tray seems like a pipe dream at the moment. I'd be happy with 1.5 honestly.
