Hey there everybody

I have finally settled down from the longest trip of my life so far, 6 weeks along the west coast in a barely converted school bus. I saw many beautiful things including the Oregon Coastline and some Northern parts of Cali. I had a crop going at a buddies house before I left for Burning Man but pretty much all was lost due to neglect. I chose two moms to rescue. The Calyx Bros Blackberry Kush X Cheese F2 female I got from a pack of seeds and my favorite strain BioChem which is running into issues on the veg side(good thing I can always get more cuts if not). Fairly confident that things will pull through for both of my moms though.

[BioChem issues]

[Week 2 CheeseBite]

I popped some beans a week or so ago. Some Strawberry Cheesecake X Shark Bite. Read up on the parent strains and it seems like both produce and finish early. They are looking pretty good.

I have more beans to pop, like some Bodhi Seeds Dreambeaver and some White Berry X Cannatonic seeds that a buddy gave me.

On top of all the seed popping I just picked up some clones, I added Glass Slipper and a strain called Lucy to the list.

Right now there is nothing too exciting going and I am waiting to buy more equipment and get the remainder of my stuff from the old grow while the ladies grow so I can clone and flip.

My tents are two Apollo tents purchased from Amazon, one 5' x 5' for veg and one 4' x 8' for bloom. In veg I just have two 4' 8 tube T5 fixtures, and a couple of fans. I intend on setting up a small passive system when I get enough money for a 4" fan and some fan speed adjusters and another carbon filter.

The bloom is going to be two mix matched hoods, one basic Hydrofarm hood and a SunSystem Yield Master II, I want to get matched hoods but that will have to wait. I do have 2 8" cool tubes to rig up a vertical system if I desire. In my hoods I will be running two UltraSun Dual Arc bulbs. I'm going to isolate the light venting and run a separate passive system through bloom.

Both tents are in a basement, its not that hard to cool. Min and max temps for the veg tent have been 59F - 75F. Everything is going to be vented right out the window. So I don't think I will have any issues with 2kW in a 4x8 tent. If anything I might need to add some heat during the night or figure out a venting solution for not letting that cold Colorado air into my tents.

Nutrients are a mixture of H&G, Canna mainly. I do use Botanicare Liquid Karma and CalMag sometimes as well as OG Tea for the occasional microbial tea drench. Been thinking about switching to all H&G for a little seeing as some of the dispensaries I work for run it and kill it with that set up.

Till next time, thanks for taking the time to read. Time to get back to work

Here is an update.

The CheeseBite seedlings @ 3.5 weeks.

They also have some crazy myco growth growing on the bottom of the pots.

Myco fuzz

I had to split up the post due to photo count.

My moms are recovering really fast. The BioChem is almost ready to clone.

[BioChem]

[Blackberry Kush X Cheese F2]

I also have 2 Glass Slipper clones and a Lucy clone that are starting to take off.

As well as a small tray of clones coming along.

I got some Cannatonic X Berry White seeds about to go into cups.

I just ordered two 1000w UltraSun dual arc bulbs for the second tent. Need to set up venting still. I also got some pvc fittings to make an aero cloner because I miss having one.

Till next time, things are going to get real exciting real soon

Sounds like quite the trip, are you happy to be home now?
6 weeks is a long time. esp having a grow going - I have hard time leaving them for even a few days. Even when someone's looking after them, I feel like they don't care about them as much as I do and then things get neglected and overlooked.

Got some nice looking girls there
That biochem sounds nice-
And that's crazy mycro fuzz..
Keep it rocking... Good vibes
I ll tagg along for the ride, right up in front
