Thank you very much!

Just got new toys/tools today, gonna be painting the closet once it's done.



And a bunch of other things, but starting with the closet.
It will be a better trainer object, then the boat.
As the misses new boat will need a new coating, and I have always wanted me some paint guns.

There are paper filters that help prevent clogs or spitting. They look like coffee filters, Can make a difference.

Thanks Zeez, I'll try an look into that if it become a problem with the filters the sprayers arrived with.


LED Flower test #2 is 8 weeks into 12/12 today, and things are looking all right. The side that got the 6666 veg light, are looking a bit bigger and more even.

6666 Veg side





No Veg side


The THHxC99 cross is looking good, much more even and good height. The buds are much more fluffy, compared to the BLB's.
But both have a great resin coverage, and the THHxC99 smells really nice.

The BLB is much more dull and flat, not much aroma at all.
So unless it's really great weed, I don't think I will hold on to it for long.

them buds look excellent palindrome

Thank you Rab.C ... I can only agree, it's looking good.

I have weight everything up, before I start the curing. They will prolly still loose a little, but the over all harvest yeild is just shy of a kilo.

The C5 mango #1 didn't do very well, but it also had the worst spot in the room.

#2 and #3 did pretty evenly, they should have had the best spots under the lights

#4 "Sputnik" C5 mango saved it all, each plant yealded about the same as all four #1 did together.

996 gr from 2x 600W HPS




Im super happy with that, with the many differnt phenos and strains.
The Cheese didn't yeald, as well as it have done the past two grows.

Now I have to cure the C5 Mango, and select a keeper mom.

Im gonna take a short break, why I haven't taken any new clones yet.
I will take clones in a few weeks, the next grow will be a mono crop of the THH x C99 Cross.

To spare my back, from cleaning hydroton.
I am turning to enzymes!

Cleaned up the flower room, washed the flow table and vaccum cleaned the floor.
Washed the reservoir out and got all of the muck out of the bottom, emptied out the pots and removed the majority of the root ball.

Started washing the hydroton, but my back have a hard time handling this task.
So I desided to go with bacteria and enzymes, and filled the unwashed clay pepples back in the pots.



Uncapped all the drippers, so they could flush out loose gunk. Refilled the reservoir, and started the pump.


Now I have been keeping fish for many years, and know a few people with Koi ponds.
My flow table with hydroton drip, if I turn it on 24/7. It turns into one big biofilter, a 'Bakki' filter in Koi talk or trickling filter if we talk wastewater cleaning.



The bacteria is already pressent in my hydroton, as well as the bio sponges in the reservoir.
Enzymes will speed up everything, not that they break down the old roots. But they will boost the bacterias, so they can do their work faster.



Weekly dose to my 250L reservoir 5 ml



Will do a weekly 50% water change, before redosing with enzymes.

I have used Koi pond enzymes before, but never to clean hydroton like this.
In theory this should work great, but how fast it will break down old dead roots, will be very interesting.

I will keep up using the enzymes, thru out the next grow.
5 ml a week.
 
You got my curiosity perked with the enzyme root breakdown! Keep us posted on how well it works or doesnt work. Very nice run through bloom! It's always a beautiful clusterfuck running many different cuts at the same time. The hard part will be choosing what to load a bowl of next :biggrin:
