Checked on the #2 HashBar OG this morning and finally see pistils! Still nothing on #3.

I'll start topping #2 and shaping it up to flower out with the Confusion Breath probably.

Well, when it rains, it pours. Gone for 5 days and of course a breaker ends up being tripped in my apartment building. When it was turned back on, several of the outlets were not reset correctly. In the veg tent, the fan and lights both were off for 4 days. All my mother plants started to flower out of course. They're back on now and I think they will be able to bounce back.

In Tent #2, same thing, no lights or exhaust for 4 days. It looks like they will make it, just looking kind of floppy and of course, no sunlight for almost a week is going to really impact my yield on them.

Tent #3 is a complete loss. In this case, the light did come back on, but not the exhaust fan or pump for the drip system. They sat under 400 watts with no water or exhaust for 4 days and burned to a crisp. Maybe the bottom 20% of the plants were 'OK' but not really worth continuing to run them the rest of their flowering period as the yield would be shit and quality not really worth it. Biggest issue is that because there was no fan running, there was a FUCK TON of moisture built up inside the tent. All over the walls and the light. When I turned the fan back on water started dripping out of it :(

This tent costs me about $75 - $100 per run so not the end of the world, but I was probably looking at around 300 grams at least on the harvest, so street value here in WA about $3,000 worth of medicine just gone. Plus I'm probably going to end up having to replace some electronics which just adds to that cost.

It's very frustrating to not have any assistance at all in this. I can handle all the work but these types of losses make me really doubt my ability. I think I have enough medicine left over from my last harvest that I can stretch until tent #2 is done, but only time will tell.

Sorry to hear of your loss homie, and you definitely have the ability.

Shitty news man. If you need anything, give me a shout. I still have a bunch of Pink Karmdown seeds, if something happens to your mothers.

The Pink Breath had some issues this run and definitely did not bulk up as much as usual. Still looking nice and sticky though and the smell is killer right now. This is mid week 9 for this girl - gonna have to do some major cat hair removal lol.

Harvested tent #2 a few days ago and got both flowering tents torn down. I'll be traveling for like 3 weeks before too long so I'm just going to leave the veg tent up and automated.

Do you notice tighter internode spacing with using an LED in veg ? The couple times I have used them, the plants grew slower than usual, but the node spacing was closer than with CFL's or T5/T8's.

Yeah I think so. Tighter spacing but larger fan leaves. Everything in this tent was under CFLs for a good while so it should be interesting to see how they react being under this new spectrum.

Jarred up my harvest from Tent #2 today.

Pink Breath: 30.82 grams
Mendo Purps: 47 grams
Pink Karmdowm: 110 grams

A lot of the purps was kind of larfy and I ended up setting it aside for concentrates which is why the number above wasn't very high. Impressed with the Karmdown hybrid for sure. All nice chunky buds too.

Almost a QP form the Pink Karmdown ! That's awesome man! I'm so happy you like them so much. You should try some of these other PInk Bazooka hybrids I have. Double Strawberry Diesel x PB, Akorn x PB, Electric Larry Land x PB(that one will be a yield monster) . Just some food for thought for ya buddy.

Hi guy! :wave:
Sorry for the delay, Really a Great Job! sorry for you for the mold!

We read it :tiphat:

Thanks! Got lucky and only ended up with a few spots. Everything else came out just fine. A bit less yield than it could have been but looks nice and healthy otherwise.

Everyone's enjoying the bump in wattage for this veg tent. Leaves are starting to get a lot bigger and healthier looking.

Finally able to get back at it. Got the 4' x 2' tent set up and the light fixed. Moved in the plants I'm currently keeping as moms.

The other plants are going to be flipped tomorrow most likely. Some of them are really scraggly because they've been neglected the past month or so but I'm not interested in waiting for them all to veg out a bunch again. I'll get some pictures of that tent later this week.

Been a bit. Veg tent is overgrown. Here's a pic of it before I trimmed everyone up.

It's day 10 in the 3' x 3' bloom tent. The #1 pheno of the HashBar OG is now a confirmed male and will get chucked today or tomorrow.

The other two HashBar OG phenos, the Jack's Cleaner and the GG#4 bagseed are all female so only having to pull one plant out. Here's a shot of the tent with the GG#4 plant in front.
