dialing it in.

[SirSmokalot]

Hey jack. Yup I did all my batches in one day instead of a week like that. Works well. With my paint mixer I put drill on reverse to not suck in bag walls. I suppose another bucket with bottom off slipped inside the bag before filling would help that a lot

 

[SirSmokalot]

out of the cloner finally. day 1 under any light. only had bleed off til now. now the 1k is shinin on them.... now the nodes can start stacking close. bout two more weeks til i flip them.
i have potted all the others up to 4 gallons and these into 1 gal straight away. back to work i go. gotta clean up the mess and get a nice layout going for the rest of veg. rearranging some stuff, adding some wall mount fans to help out, replacing the scrubber and adding another 1k to the mix. i will just slap a 1k mh in the middle of my four hps in a parabolic reflector. i may not use it this grow, as i dont think i will completely fill out the space i have this time, but my light rail has many mounting options so i can come up with something i am sure. would be nice to run a mix spectrum n see some improvments... other than getting the feeding dialed for this run, there really isnt any thing else i can add to help them get better than adding another light off different spectrums and i have been looking for large reptile lights in t8s with uvb10 at least. i can only find like ft long ones.
and yes i know uvb lights are harmful to my skin, i will put them on a switch so i can turn them off before entry. but all i have read is promising, so a few hundred bucks to raise potency, make the meds more effective is worth a try, i am not against trying new things obviously. i have rarely repeated old ways in search of gains in all forms. the mix spectrum with some uvb is the next step in my ongoing evolution. hopefully its not in vain, but i am quite confident that the efforts will be repaid in many ways many times over or why else would so many invest in it.
also i am nearly ready to pop some OGA gear and some of Nuggetshiners gear and possably some ghost x trainwreck. i realize while typing this out i should consider only running 1 type from each friend at a time. i hate to many strains at a time these days...
but i more bombing and i think it will be safe to pop some new shit so i will be dedicating a patch of garden to the testers for the homies. to bad it took so long, but i had to get my environment in order and then get pests dealt with so now its game on i have been antsy

peace for now. if anyone want to see some pics of the girls chime in other wise i am not gonna bother. veg is a boring time IMO unless it is a tester/new strain. then i become intrigued again lol

ok back on 7-18 with an update
i transplanted the plants into 4 gal coco and under 1 gal coco for the clones on the table.
i have fed the girls grow big 2x to cure the def prob. i think the main prob was they were soil plants put in coco and the ph was a problem until they really established the coco containers they were in. now they are in bigger pots and looking better daily. the room is up to 3k. day 2 with light over all girls.
this morning i had a scare. i woke to a 97f room and a dieing plant that is prob gonna die tonight from who knows what cause it was wet still and i amleaning on co2 poisoning?
basically it seemed my co2 censor was fully lit meaning the burner should not be running but it was humming away, i think it was stuck on cause my ac was working and blowing cool air still but the damn generator was hot as fuck flame on. i have no idea what the true ppm were at the time, i just turned it all off and left the door open for the evening. so far everythng is working again but i need to be vigilant keeping an eye on it.
from that i had a few droopers but nothing to even worry about but i do not want them getting near dry anymore so i was not happy

here are the pics

a closer look at a chem4 in 4 gal. this is the size from 1 gal newly transplanted. hopefully they blow up by 8-1 and are huge for the flip

by for now fam.

ok back today battling some deficiancy issues. not using cal mag is catching up with me running RO water. hopefully the affected decaps will recover well, but always disappointing to see problems from user error. my bad
bought my fans today. added 2 infinite breeze 3d panning wallmounts. a much needed addition. getting a ballast fixed so i can run 5k. the new light, 1k horti MH in a vert mount 4ft parabolic being centered between 4 1k hps in ducted hoods will help things out this winter. picked all the gear up today as well.

here are some decap bud pics. i finally opened up the bag to take out some spears for myself. here are a few of the tops i am gonna be smokin on for a bit...

ther are a few other strains not pictured yet but i think i am gonna stop posting for a lil bit in here. will still be checkin in and following the friends. may start a show n tell soon but blahh blahh for now. i have other things to focus on for a few weeks. i have some changes to make in my life now its been a long time comin. but dont fret i am not having troubles, doing quite well actually. just trying to be on top of my life 100% instead of like 75% for a change.
see ya around the boards fam!
Sir

 

[dev0n]

Nice nugs! Can't wait to see the new setup. And I wish you the best of luck with your upcoming transitions.

 

[rasputin]

Sweet journal, Sir. Those are some nice tops to be burning on!

 

[drymouth]

Cant beilve i missed this one.... sick fucking grow fuhso! takes me back to my coco drip tabel days.

 

[SirSmokalot]

devon- thanks man

ras- thanks for the visit bro

drymouth- i diggin the coco thanks man. gonna go full on dro soon. hope to see ya in the future threads

here is the other addition

k thats it for this baby

 

[Dr Dog]

Rooms looking awesome bro

Sorry have not been around much.. Been really busy and to be honest when I see the name of teh thread, it dont recognize. I am looking for your Casa of old lol

 

[Hydrosun]

I think you are going to love the vert bulb style. Can't wait to see them go.

 

[guest5703]

Sick sick sick! Nice big healthy girls! Funny you have mild deficiencies, so did I and I think it was not using cal mag with RO.....Shittyyyyyy. Your buds look dank as fuck though, mine turned out shit, completely. Hoping to run the full house and garden line next run, I think using everything to the full amount will help, I really underfed my ladies. See ya around brotha!

 

[SirSmokalot]

DRDOG- thanks for the visit i know this one was low key short n sweet. starting something new here and a tester of some of ur work bout to hit the scene. i will pm u what i have, and see if you suggest one that u would like to see first, finally.

HS- ya i think it will be perfect in the middle of the hps . thanks for poppin in

cali- haha mild def was not the case i fucked these girls up the lil ones i am about to post nearly all died outta the cloner immed after tranplanting with in the first week. after the lil ones stopped getting bad the big ones got lockout and started their own shit. i lost another 2 weeks to recovery but they are ready to plower this week. gonna fill my cloner tonight and let em rip a day or 2 later.
my stuff bounced back to health after starting to give them h&g
i love it. whatever the cost it works extremely well. as i said b4 the magic green and algen extract are a waste IMO maybe it makes a lil differance but not enough for the price., there are cheaper seaweed alternatives out there and cal mag adds extra N also.. as well as trace minerals. i 100% recommend drip clean be used in coco also
good luck

here are my girls today 8/10 sleeping. finished tieing them over a day ago and spacing them out and firing up the 4th light. had to defoliate and damaged leaf and a few extra. i had a bad ordel with lock out and was looking grim for a minute but i held in there and so did the ladies...
2k with 12 girls- 5 decaps and 7 chem4

1k with 9 plants- 2 decaps and 7 chem4 - gonna top all these later for cuts.

1k over the table with 15 to flower on it the bigger 4 on the right are my moms . the 15 are 6 decap 4 chem4 and 5 green crack. these literally i thought i was gonna lose em all moms included... baffled that they got sick and even more so that the are still alive. havent grown much at all, mainly surviving i guess

SFV x CHEMD via ido via mcgoo thanks bros for sharing the love.

thats all i think that i officially am done in here. just wanted to close this on a healthy note... thanks for following this run guys it really means a lot to have the company and nice comments. makes my day when i jump on ic and can share with people like myself.

bye for now.
