Argo's front and back office

Well this broke ass took a job in seattle for three weeks starting on monday. So i spent the afternoon making a care plan for the plants while i am away.

First took the 4" drip caps and plumbed in a duel pump closed loop drip system to maintain pressure at all the drip sites.

Then ripped all the shit out of the closet and swept and took all the fans and can filter light mover ducting and everything else out of the closet. I remounted the extraction fans. and then took an off the shelf table and cut the legs down with a 1" slope and cut two rectangles out so the trays sit flat (on a slope) plumbed the RW cubes for flood and drain and set up the coco cup tray for drippers and will be up potting to 44" cups which had the coco rinsed and coco buffer solution applied at a PH of 5.6 . I will X-plant them tomorrow with mycos and a bennie/mycos drench. I got 25 drippers to plumb up.

Then in the veg closet i am going to up pot the cherry puff crosses and try to dip the reveg rw plants into soil to see if they will take If I have time i will rig those up on a dripper as well. whew busy .


Happy 4-20 to my grow bro's and sisters. Keep up the good fight.

It's been awhile had to take a job out of town for a few weeks Then my Mother in law died while both me and the Misses were gone. To make matters worse my dad panicked an had a welfare check done and she was found passed away in her recliner watching T.V. This is my MIL but she had lived with us for twenty years after she could not afford to live on her fixed income. I will miss her.

The ugly side is the cops broke into the downstairs where my gorilla was set up and proceded to flood my basement and cut the power.

A few days later i got a visit from the drug task force and they wanted a show and tell by then i had it all down to what i thought was the limit, however the city had passed their own ordinance so i was 2X over still. I am supposed to get another visit In a "few days" hopefully this does not go south. I am now down to 3 in veg and three in flower and am going crazy. If i was in deep trouble I would have already been issued a summons or arrested I hope... I don't like being under investigation sigh...

I press on with my six players.

Now that the cops know me argo says hello.

3 in veg and 3 in flower is my limits.

We press on in the lines.

struggling to get the cherry puff crosses healthy in veg.

In the flower tent it sure looks empty Just topped the res with one sachet of shooting powder half strength in my res i will let it got a week and dump another.

I made some drytrim heated pressed pucks. I slightly overheated them in order to collect some rosin as well.

Cheers

Q me? Q you mofo!!!

Umm my new toy took a ride thru the dishwasher don't ask. 250 bucks (after #2) buys a lot of Elements rice paper and electricity and makes a lot of acquaintances smile when they see you fashion a paper tube on the spot and another for them to take on their way. Just sayin'

With that complaint lodged This fan boy wasted no time picking up Pax #2 . The girl at the store felt bad and did a great deal, buy the pen and two cartridges and get a t shirt lighter and CC grinder on the good guy deal OTD for 145. Some days you get kinda lucky. So I got lucky? I flipped her a dank Nug and she was trying to tell me it was illegal but i took out my phone and we couldn't find anything in the 200 or so pages. But she smelled nice and was easy on the eyes . She was digging on my grow show and the solar tube idea the harbor frieght solar panels charging a bank of deep cycle marine battries supplieng a surplus aircraft or navy ship inverter to power some cots led panels She was digging my tech savy old hippy ways... Sir Sir That will be 145 please the line is forming behind you.If you could quit talking and pay me, wink I'll take it...

The plants are in soil beds? or thirty gallon smart pots, constrained by 2x2 grow trays? ehhh big pots with a moisture trapping water channel with a built in drain? what ever you call it i like the concept these will support the multi stemmed beasts I wanna grow. and They are the only surviving plants so what the hell?

Got some more work done on my Tedious river rock art project loosing my ass on another friend job but I'm taking forever and learning with some new high tec grouts and sealers and anti microbial epoxy hardeners etc hope i dont fuck it up after all this fookin work fingers crossed tomorrow won't come soon enough.

Got six bags of soil purchased and hauled down I keep saying it's the last of the soil, but it is i mean it for next year at least.. time will tell... The plants have already responded positively to the new soil and were happy enough to tie down.

on the bottom line The latest Early 3 plants 90 ish days and the way early 3 plants 75ish equaled the tent record in total in volume. of the last NLRD round give it another day or two in the big tub before i jar it up and weigh it. The plants taken down in front of the cops were bagged up in trash bags in a show for the cops and they came buy to make sure it was still going out with the trash last week . So I think that is all from them I hope. I caught them sneaking around two weeks ago so I came out and walked right up to them to talk , It's so easy to spot them with my cameras Plus after having a sheriff come by your work or job site twice daily while on work release you get good at picking them ( the U.C cars) off. I hope that is all from them. I plan to stay compliant however!

Then there were three..

Tray one grape ox#2 x cherry puff

Tray two og18 x cherry puff

Tray three grape ox #2 x cherry puff

I've been enjoying my Grape Ox.. amazing flavor profile... just wish it yielded a lil better...where does Cherry Puff come from?

no clue some beans a good grower buddy gave me. I will ask...

Got one third of the epoxy (grout) up today. I have my system worked out so the rest should go pretty quick. I like it but i have been working it for awhile so my opinion is biased .





Have a good and safe week out there peace.

The plants are responding well to training.

Some out of the way place was running a 15 dollar OTD special on head band budder so i picked up two.

Well I had a few min. this morning so i cleaned out the old tray and 70 gal res and wiped down the tent.

Whew



Then i build some sloped platforms one for a 2.5x4 tray on one side then a 2x2 tray on the other. I centered one 315 the other will go in tonight along with some run off collection trays. I might actually place them kitty corner across at an angle from each other on a diag (kitty corner i think?)
I noticed the roots going out of the smart pot into the coco mat below so those were placed in the bottoms of all the plant run off trays/beds. I might just dump some red wigglers in each of the pots and go living soil with dry top dress amendments fertilizers guano chicken poo and worm poo etc...



The other one in the closet got a 60 W Ghetto strip and a 315 which i will center over the plant a little better. I will continue to train the plants and veg for another week and flip on next friday.



finish the week strong and enjoy the weekend.

Got the other light hung in the tent so all plants have their very own 315 and a few extra tens of watts in cots 10W LED's haha.

plants continue to gain health

Got some new indica from Kasmir Azad, going to pollen chuck those so I have a stable indica beans.

Finally done with the weekend shower job glad that is over it turned out great.

Not much new. Two plants in the tent just flipped some trimming and nets soon.

Asad Trying to root in the giant hugos

You know your in for trouble when your wife disappears at 6:00 am and shows up at 8 with three gallons of paint. one ceiling white & two grey and a 600 dollar knock down desk. It was recently her moms room (she passed while we were both out of town and the cops let them selves in when my wife called and panicked). Then it was my grandmothers on my dads side in high school and my grandfathers on my moms side on my entrance to college and before that it was mine growing up from ages 5-13 that room has some ju ju.
Today i got two coats on the ceiling and two coats on the walls and my wife cut in the walls. We got the trim ripped out. Still a shitload left (tons). Lets see paint and install the new trim ,install the electrics,( which i overkilled just like i do). A three gang with surge outlets and a usb charger for the cpu stuff above the desk line, below the desk another three gang with two outlets and a cat 5/coax entrance. A new Ceiling fan and duel control. I have to Run a new 3 wire cable 12/3 for the light fan and install a new beam to beam fan box.I am also up grading all the other outlets to two gang boxes protected on a new AFCI 20A breaker.

I also Installed a 2nd turbo/extraction fan CANFAN6HO. It dropped the temps from 90 to 80 a step in right direction.


The Closet one with the shutter closed to see the plants and one with it open to see the set up.

I think two plants filled the tent nicely. Lets get this flower show on!!!


some plants at my buddies place up the hill. I had to give em up to stay compliant.

Have a great week and stay safe out there.
