Almost There

Life has just kept getting in the way these past two weeks but the flower room was finished today. Five very unhappy, overgrown, root bound ladies will be up potted to 5 gallon Hempy Buckets tomorrow and put in the new room for a short recovery veg period.

Room is 5.5' wide by 8' long. 10x39 Phresh Filter, 10 inch Hyperfan, two URSA Optilux LED fixtures. More pics and stuff tomorrow.

Good Stuff! That looks sharp as hell.

It's time for a revolution, but probably not in the terms that people imagine it. The word conjures up images of— a modern day version of peasants going into the street with their pitch forks to go after the bad guy who lives in a big house and we're gonna get that son-of-a-bitch and we'll take all the stuff from him and we'll give it to the workers. That's not the kind of revolution I had in mind. I thought that it might be nice if it was handled a little bit more modern and efficient way, without people getting slaughtered. It's a matter of infiltration…The people who are in control of the media, the government that run the lives of the average person in the street. They aren't doing a good job 'cause they don't really care. The potential is there in the younger generation. Right now they’re not really interested. Their political involvement is on a very superficial basis. They go out for the social aspects of a march or a rally rather than for what it could possibly accomplish. -FZ

Back in Business

Like I said in the last post I have got five pissed off ladies who have grown out of control the past couple of weeks, ranging in height from 42 to 50 inches. Additionally, they were in too small of containers for their size so they were root bound. To top it all off several of them were exhibiting deficiencies probably due to salt buildup from being in too small of containers for too long.

So everybody got up potted to five gallon buckets this morning, flushed like crazy and then twisted, bent, broken and tied down to around 36" height.

As I mentioned in an earlier post I went with five gallon buckets this time in order to have some room for Hydroton to add weight and prevent perlite from constantly floating out of the top of the buckets during feeding.

About an inch of Hydroton in the bottom:



Then pure perlite up to the level of the drain hole (about 2.5 inches from the bottom on these five gallon buckets.)



Fill the rest of the way with 80% perlite/20% vermiculite mix:





And Hydroton on top:

And here are the ladies in their new home. They look pretty rough right now but I'm confident that a week or so of good conditions will bring them back around.



Peace,

Thanks bsgospel and caljim. I'm kind of excited to see what happens. In the future I'm hoping to put eight smaller, properly trained plants in the room for each run. These girls were way too big for any more than five.

Wow bro excellent work on the flowering room , now the fun starts with all the training coming in up .
