Outnin the barn with Dankdude and Company

Dankdude · Oct 26, 2018

Well, I had to get my shit together and get back to growing for myself and my patients.

The people's property my wife and I are staying one said that we can use their barn to grow in, this barn has a tack room that my wife and I cleared out for a growroom.

So yesterday we went to Colorado Springs to get clones,
what we came back with was 6 Lemon Cookies (GSC x Lemon Haze) and 6 Nightmare OG (Tahoe OG x Blue dream)

This morning we were busy little beavers and repotted in 3 gallon pots and will repot them again in 5 gallon pots before we put them into flower.

My wife will be helping me through this grow and we will be adding plants every two weeks until the room is full.

My wife wants to learn, I'm willing to teach her.

I know these are HPS lights and I'm in veg, but you work with what you have.

I'll update as I can.

Peace,
Dankdude

Dunno how your hosts would feel about it, but you could always hang vertical sheets of B/W panda film from the rafters to make a tent of sorts?

Dankdude · Oct 27, 2018

I plan on doing that as money allows.
Before I put anything in that room I also scrubbed it dow with bleach and sprayed it down with Zerotal and Pyganthan.

Wish I could say I thought to do that! Your barn looks cleaner than mine too (mine's wood). Haven't noticed any issues as of yet.

I haven't had any issues yet either.
I moved all my plants closer together as I don't need to run both just yet.

The barn I'm using is metal and I'm using is a tack room (equestrian equipment room) that is built within the barn.

Well they are getting bigger.

I also got some nice genetics in the mail today.

Dankdude · Nov 1, 2018

Well it got kind of real.
We got 18 inches of snow overnight and lost electricity for 2 days.
I had to bring the plants up to the house so that there was enough heat to keep them alive.
Now the electricity is back on, I'll put them back in the barn in the morning. That way the temperature in the grow room has time to stabilize.

Whoa! Sorry to hear that. Hope everything turns out okay!

Dankdude · Nov 2, 2018

My wife and I saved them.

Dankdude · Nov 6, 2018

Well the girls are back in the barn and very much alive.
I'm beginning to realize that I'm going to have to invest on an electric space heater.
There are some brutal temperature swings.
Although they are in the low 60s in the morning, I think that the swings may be giving the girls trouble in nutrient uptake.

I also need to start looking for a grow tent to keep moms and clones in and be able to hold temperatures in check.

Anyway that's all for now.

Dankdude · Nov 6, 2018

Well, it isn't pretty but it will work.
Today my wife and I put up some foam rubber on the walls in order to hold the temperatures a little more steady.
We will be hanging more this week.

Dankdude · Nov 10, 2018

Well we finally got the temperatures under control.
Plants are bouncing back.

Using organic nutrients and compost teas.

Dankdude · Nov 11, 2018

Ok, today we transplanted 9 of the 12 plants. (Until we ran out of soil. )
Watered each one, with 1 gallon of nutrients.
2.5 ounces Bio Vega per 5 gallons of water.
20 ml General Organics Black Diamond.
20 ml General Organics Bio Weed.
20 ml General Organics Root Booster.
15 ml cal/mag.
25 ml Humboldt Honey.
All of which I mixed into 5 gallons of water. pHed at 6.5

Dankdude · Nov 15, 2018

Well I got the platform made and the plants off of the floor.
The plants are doing much better. I felt of the previous days runoff before I started and even though the floor didn't feel cold, the runoff told a different story.
I will screw on some uprights for scrog netting later.
