Reloaded the HPS tent with 3 soil beds holdin' two stanky hoes a piece. Kinda been doing a no till with these beds. Just adding about an inch or fresh top soil re-amended with the goods.

Here are some extra clones I tossed in a few weeks back

So I just havent felt like trimming this plant. She has been sitting like this for 3 days or so now? Kinda looks like she sucked all the water up.

Yo SH maybe ya can help me out. I still havent taken care of it!

I am seriously looking into a auto nug trimmer. Things are on ebay for 500-600 dollars. To me that is worth it.

Would you use a nug trimmer?

bro get the bonsai hero! I'm tellin ya... It won't cut your fingers off... but I have cut my fingers and bled so try not to chop your fingers. They're only like $350, and you'll need a 12v power supply that you can get on ebay for like $10.

I have a spinner and it just sits there off to the side. It is ok but it gums up and does not work all that great when that happens. Kind of a pain to clean it up when it does. I hand trim because I am to cheap for a bonsai hero.

I dont want to do anything when talking about the little stuff. I have no problem trimming colas but the little to medium stuff does nothing but just piss me off. I hate it in fact.

I want a fully automatic trimmer. One where I just place the lil nugglets inside, shut the lid, and then watch the shit spin around like a turd going down the toilet. Like a trim pro, or similar. Anyone have any reviews on those type of machines?

Whats happening cats?? Im so glad the cool months are officially here. This round of plants is doing awesome, looking much better then the past hot summer harvest.

I also did some changes. I added another 600w vert tent so now I will have a harvest every three weeks when working with 9wk strains (which most of mine are)

I picked up a solis tek 600 dimmable. Its probably one of the nicest ballast I have seen, I really like the thing.

Anyway, here are some pics..

Here is HPS tent 1. These plants start week 6 on the 10/2 and are scheduled to be chopped at week nine which is 10/23

Here is HPS tent 2. These plants start week 3 on 10/3 and have a scheduled chop date of 11/14. I lost lost a plant left of the fan and the fifth one was hurt bad. I must have cranked the blue mats to high when I moved them into flower because that bin flooded and was submerged for 2 days before I caught it. The other four plants are big, healthy and bushy.

And the new solis tek

And here is the veg tent. I switch things so plants veg for 6 weeks total under two lights each three weeks apart. The plants in the far back go into flower on 10/3 and the plants in the front will stay for another three weeks.

10/3 row

And here is the LED flower tent which the next batch of veg plans will go into on 10/3.

Its been a minute but I've been kept busy with this small little garden. I love growing during this time of year because temps are so easy to work with.

I totally dig having three flowering tents, it just makes things so much more effin' productive. I have 1700w worth of lighting between all three tents and Im hoping I pull 12-14oz a tent every 3.5wks. Things are finally starting to look like I will be able to hit those numbers.

Took a good chunk of pics. Peace yall and save growin', and it better not be in yo momma's closet.

Here is HPS tent 2 with a planned chop date of 10/30/12 with four pure power plants, one jack flash, and one sourdiesel

The blue mats are awesome now that I figured them out completely. I forgot what its like having to constantly water. Using a really recycled tweaked and aged super soil, all I have been doing is adding 3TBS of NPK bat guano, and 1/4 of kelp to my blue mat auto top off reserv every 3 weeks. Not messing with pH, EC...ext....Life is easy..

 

[Bennyweed1]

And here are four extra clones I flowered out in small pots filling in the little spaces in one of the HPS tents.

Same plants back on 9/15/12
