Sweet smokes!

I've had other life priorities lately so not many new pics posted although many taken... I'm skipping to today.

Day 38 from sow, temp 79.5F
still feeding twice day generously to waste 1.2EC although a few have been 1.3 to 1.4ish

This is CC#1 a bit over 38" tall on day 38, flowers are a shootin' all over her

pics of all the ladies in the room. I've done a bit of work these past two days to raise the 4x4 tray so I can install a drain. I may lower it by 4" with custom wood platform in the future, not sure. It does make them a bit easier to get to. I may also build a small shelf on the wall to get some some growing space also.

I've added a dedicated dehumidifier. that is the bucket on the floor. I've been recycling water such that I haven't needed to use my new RO/DI much.

Also, I've added a 1/2" manifold to 11 1/4" dripper lines which I tee again to feed in two spots. I have a 20 gal temp res with a 390gph pump about to be put on timer when I get the 4x4 drain added.

Once the drain is in and working I will probably go to feeding more often now that my feeding system has tested out.

Comparing my pics to Jaypp's I can tell that I'm pretty far behind what a dialed in grow can produce. This doesn't surprise me though. I'm learning and I've already figured out that I need to get them started better and that they can be pushed harder than my feeding was pushing them (not very hard as I had no EC meter and fed lightly to be conservative).

Still I'm very happy with how they are doing for my first time ever. I look forward to producing more of my own medicine in my own room.

I did have one casualty from my room maintenance. TW#4 got topped. Way too much topping ... lol.... best thing for her was to put her out of her misery... My tray is full enough and I still have TW1 and 3. so odd ladies it is.

Otherwise I'm happy with all the ladies and I know I can get better in the future.

Hi bro!
your plants are really well and i believe you are gonna get some of the best medicine that you ever smoked or vaped. Growing your own medicine is always better than black market so, i can imagine that you will continue with this hobby

thanks for posting and good luck!

Hey McKush!

They seem doing good to me. I can even see the differences update after update

Keep it up, sweet smokes!

Pics from today. Temp 78.1F @ 825W on the 'ol ePap.

The near plant is CC#1 at 42". it was passed in height by the DC#1 which is 43". DC#1 has been the plant that I've been most concerned about but it seems to be doing pretty ok now.

Interesting comparison is that CC#2 is 28" tall, a 14" difference from CC#1.

All the plants seem to be doing fine. The TW#1 is a bit behind but not much of a concern. I'm not looking to finish on the exact same day for all plants. As I harvest I will replace since my veg and flower light cycle are always 18/6.

Top view looking down. I'm standing on the ledge which just holds a fan and a dehumi atm.

jaypp · 07-04-2014, 01:09 PM

What a jungle! Nice one my friend, it seems like all the space are really full!
Thanks for sharing and sweet smokes!

McKush · 07-04-2014, 03:54 PM

Yes jaypp, very full indeed.

I culled TW#4 after I accidently "topped" it while installing my dripper line manifold system. That brings me to 10 plants but in the future I plan to run 9 or less i think.

There is room for more plants for sure, i'm not even using the veg locker or the ledge area which I'm standing on in the pics above.

I'm happy with how the grow is progressing but I feel they are at least a week behind where your TWs progressed.

My tall plants are looking good, many bud sites.

McKush · 07-06-2014, 03:30 PM

hi chaps -

Day 43 temp 78F ( 2nd day of auto-feed seems to be ok )

Today I decided to map out for you where the plants are, most are flowering nicely with the GP being the slowest so far.

Today I started noticing trichrome development. It may have been here already I just hadn't looked for it. I'm still getting some growth so I decided to raise up the ePap to 83" from the floor and increase from 825W to 1000W. I'm starting to get cocky... lol. However the DC#2 is now 53" tall and the CC#2 is 48" tall, the others are keeping up. CC#1 is bushy but starting to get taller, maybe 28" or so atm.

Here is how they look thru my door way. I have a desk and chair in my studio right next to the door.

McKush · 07-06-2014, 03:36 PM

Here are the mapped out the plant locations. Sorry for the poor lighting, they look so much better in proper light. I may get some strobes and a different camera out here from now on. But for the time being here is my garden:

NOTE: BC#1 on bottom right is misslabeled. shit. it should read BC #2

I'm really enjoying watching the Red starting to develop in : DC1, DC2, and BC2. Not seeing Red in BC1 atm.

CC#2 on the right is the best budded, got the classic menorah thing going on.

CC2 and DC2 are my favorites currently. DC2 is really going deep red on the stems. BC2 has the Red in its bud leafs
