a couple pics of the tube.

I know you guys are going to chuckle about the bell and flange at the bottom...

When i first cut the tube i left that on because i didn't have a hose clamp for the filter. I just twisted a wire around using the flange to keep the wire in place. Liked it so i left it.

Seriously, VERTICAL!?, C'mon Son!

Grow partner wins out this time on vert.

I don't like it 'cause it's hard on the eyes. Gotta go around the room all pimped out with shades on.

All that stuff hanging is now in jars, soon gone.

The Killer Queen is way yonder better at 90 days than at 65 or 70. (A little Andy Griffith lingo there) Next time I run it it''l have it's own light and can go the distance, probably 100-110 days. Definitely getting a dehumidifier next time. I've never had budrot before. It's very dry here, but the last couple months have been crazy with 60%-80% humidity half the time. 60% is kinda high for here, usually just during the monsoon.




The veg was cramped in a closet while the KQ finished up, and got a little fuked up. Got a couple vert 600s getting them in shape. They're looking a lot better now. All in coco in the first pic, they're going to be huge by the time we flip. These in buckets need to catch up. We'll see.
There is a big, and by big I mean friggen huge, Mofo3 in a bucket in between the lights. You can see it to the right in the first pic and to the left in the second pic. It's about 4 feet x 3 feet, maybe 3 feet high. It's starting to take off.
Hopefully, it will stay here and flower, while the others go away to another spot. Much work to do, but it'll happen just in the nick of time. The big Mofo3 will be the star of the show in this diary, while the rest will be spread out in another grower's 20' by 20' room and will be only shown if you really want to see it.

This is a Champions Cheese by Heavyweight Seeds.

I won the Herbie's Seeds Giveaway contest a few weeks ago and won a 5 seed pack of Champions Cheese. I chose Cheese because I've been wanting a Cheese, and it's something that you don't see everyday around here.

I'm only going to pop 1 seed at a time, easier for me to study each one that way. Here it is, Cheese seedling dropped in a wet rockwool cube on the 9th of October. Thanks to Herbie.



Most of the recently planted clones in the tray on the right are Diesel. A few more from this batch of clones still rooting. These will be going to yet another grower's room, he's doing a bit of a SOG.
Some more clones in the cloner just taken, will be for a future crop. Still working on the right veg times for big ass plants.

hoppers made comeback here. remember to spray. eggs 11 days? so i think my new gen don't have phytoplasma, no sick plants yet. sprayin and crushin.

I bombed the hoppers with a Dr Doom fogger today. Hopefully it's the last i see of them. I'll be spraying every few days too.

That little Cheese plant is looking great. Popping that seed has got me wanting to do a big seed run. Soon. I have hundreds of seeds and so many keepers in those seeds.

Changed water in 7 buckets today, i kinda hate DWC. Kinda love coco. haha

Been a couple weeks, so here's a small update.
New kitten won't stay off the keyboard. makes it tough to type, plus he's chewing on my finger and jumping mu hands.

Well, I won the October Herbie's seeds giveaway.

It was for a 5 pack of Heavyweight Seeds, my choice.
I had chosen the feminized Champions Cheese.

Because I've never had Cheese.

Popped one of the seeds on 10-9


I need to snag a clone, but those nodes are really tight, so maybe after it gets a bit taller.
I want to flip it when my next run starts...soon

[paper thorn]

I go this Blue Widow clone the other day. It's in a coffee can of nute solution with an airstone in it. Already took a cutting from it.



Some young plants.


This is what's going on in the shed. I really need to get most of these to a new location. The HUGE Mofo3 in between the lights will have to stay. It's too big to move. I'll add a 600, so it will have 3 600s around it sorta like Heath's. I'll have 2 or 3 in coco on the other side of those 600s.

Surely I can pull 5 pounds from all of them, but we'll see what actually ends up around the lights.



BTW, last run, i was hoping for 6 pounds. Seemed like a high enough goal. Realistic goal was 5 pounds A few weeks in I made a 77 oz prediction.
Ended up with about 70 oz. So a tad short of 4 1/2 pounds. Oh course never having that much here at the same time, harvest was spread out just enough to keep the yield legal. so much bullshit.


In other news, me and my grow partner just picked up 2 patients with grow rights, 1 each, so 12 more legal plants, 5 more legal ounces.

[expealadocious]

It almost seems like if you were in a legal state the cops would basically leave you alone but I wouldnt know... or that the penalties wouldnt be too harsh?
I noticed everyone with the rule book is pretty strict about adherance but I suppose its so you can keep doing it in the future

[paper thorn]

They have no right to inspect home grows, but they don't really care what the law says, just what they can get away with.
Have over the amount you can carry and they'll treat you like a criminal.
With 5 patients I can carry about 15 1/2 oz.
Of course, they aren't supposed to be able to use smell to get search warrants anymore.

Of course the cops think growing is still illegal within 25 miles of a dispensary. But, only my patients need to live 25+ miles out in BFE.
I just want to stay off of their radar.

I've lurked your thread in the past but it's been a while since I've been in here. Just read through the whole thread. Nice show I'm interested to see if you get any increase in yield. I'm hoping to get closer to a gpw on my next harvested light. I think you are going to like vert. I'll be along for the this from here on out...
