hey all I'v been very busy this week, I made up two cabs 4' x 2.5' x 7' so that I have can devote my lg. room just to flower.
These will be for vegging and clones but if the mood takes me I could empty out them and flower.
Right now I have Khalisi and bs kush clones in them and soon some new seedlings....

clones just TP, they were cramped in their solo's, now they have plenty of room. each compartment has 3 ft of clearance so they should be nice and big when read to go into flower.
As of right now I have 3 sets of 4' t-8's with a capacity of 6, I am how ever planing on up grading to HOT-5 for the cabs once I am done upgrading my flower room.

ahh shit fucking mother F'ing dumb ass :wallbash: (talking to myself)
So been very busy, well I been juggling a ton of stuff one being starting some beans, 4 w. lotus, 4 Elephant stompers, 4 Lui x g13.
so last night i was playing catch up and planting the beans that sprouted tails, all the Lui's were planted and I was planning on doing the rest well it got late and I passed out.
woke up check on the ones that didnt get planted and the water/paper coffee filters dried up while the beans were in them....... one of the W. lotus's had a tail which dried up, so i threw them back in water, seemed to help the tail that was shriveled started to come back..

wounder if they will be ok, only dried for 8hrs or so will they bounce back, time will tell.

Thinking I might double up on them and start some more...

I think it will bounce back hick. if you really wanna keep it and money isn't a biggie, you could try a microbe inoculant. roll her tail in the powder or drop some liquid in there and try again :) I heard trichoderma is great for starting seeds as a seed soak.

azo should be just fine I would think. microbes are magic :D water it in of it's planted or put some on the tail and do what you were doing, you're a smart fella. you'll know what's best. I don't know exactly how well it works as I used it on baby roots coming out of cuttings with a bottled trichoderma AN brand. didn't do any harm as that was more my fault if anything a long time ago.

A little update on my pop'n,
5- booglegums
5- killer queen x shit
5- blue satellite

yes, I'm glutton for punishment. But it should kick me in the ass and get shit (rooms) finished.

The Khalisi's along with the "bs kush" are doing great, nearing the end I have started the flush. They are nice and solid which I did have concerns with the cfl's but no more........ in the future I wont have any reservations about cfl's, they have proven that it is possible to get a nice result for less $.
Not saying I'm going strictly cfl, I do want to dabble a little with LED's and of coarse HID's for larger rooms.

I'll get some pics up tonite once the lights come on :dance013:

Yes, I have, I'm think on doing a stadium on the far back wall (end), trying to fit 3 times the population in that area...........but I might incorporate it along the sides as well.
I'm playing the hand I was dealt lol and the room, I still hand water and probably always will so I have to make sure I can at leased get to the pots.......5' wide is whats killing the space but like I said its what I got, I think I might draw something up and post it...... think of the room like a sheet of ply wood but only a foot wider, thats what I'm dealing with......
