Sunday Update:
Both boxes got reservoir upgrades yesterday, they are now sporting new 10 liter reservoirs which is 3 times the held volume of the old ones, and look better, the one for Bogan i might paint black to match but are currently white.
Bogan: Well the sensor just seems to run low right now, i tested a backup component and it read the same, so i left it how it was, i'll replace the probes in the future, but i'm in no rush, and ran out of time yesterday to upgrade them how i wanted too.
The Dark Devil is looking tasty and smelling Very Sweet, the other autos are limping along due to the bad start, and that Auto Mazar seedling that survived is crawling along, pretty much useless.
The mothers also got a trim and i took about 6 more clones from them just to play with, so i can dial in the clone taking ability with this new setup, a bunch of the clones i took mid week already had rotted stems "too wet", i attribute it to me soaking the fresh cut stems in water then dunking them in cloning powder "has worked in the past" but it's causing the areas to remain too wet and makes the stem go to mush, so now they are getting cut/stripped then dunked in powder, and all the excess flicked off so they are more or less dry with only powder stuck to the areas that were freshly exposed, gonna do another batch with no powder, just straight to the mix for comparison but that will be later in the week.
Oh also decreased the angle slightly for the tray as it was a tad to much, seems better now.
Ashla: The Screw-in Led lights are too much hassle for me to disassemble effectively without issue to warrant me doing a light swap in Ashla, but looking at the new Bridgelux V18's Gen7's i might get two lower CRI in say the 5000k spectrum and under drive them at my current 700ma. Once they're available for me that is, but that way one we still get more light, and two we only will be replacing the Led's as i'll use the same drivers, the new V22B's would be nice but i would need new drivers, and then we would quickly be looking at over light situations and light bleaching, as we would be in the 11000+ lumens per sq foot range, still would like to have 3-5 spots of light in Ashla instead of two but live and learn and make use of what you have.
Moved the 3 Orange Bud, and one Jack Herrer Seedlings over today could of had a day or two more but they were ready ahead of when i thought anyways, so we will start some new seedlings today, but im leary that the current older plants in flower might not be done in time for the new seedling to be thrown into flower 2+ weeks from now... Also i couldn't bring the Orange Bud Mother over as Ashla is currently full, unless i started cramming but im not gonna do that, to just fit in one more plant.
That Ice Bomb is still not done, and is still going, tricky tricky, so we're now at week 10 ive included a picture below, but maybe another week or so, so the supposed 7-9 weeks per breeders spec's will probably be 11ish, but can't complain about a freebie, she looking nicer as we go along.
What else, one of the Sin Mints threw out two male pollen sacs, which were quickly plucked, it has been burnt and light bleached from getting to close to the led over the last 3+ weeks, so im not surprised that due to the stress it did that, but still it's too touchy for me, even if it's super crystally it won't be carried on, unless it redeems itself before the end. Also the Krakatoa that was off in the corner, i noticed a couple small signs of some mold strands, which wasn't a surprise as the corner is pretty much a dead zone for air flow in comparison to everywhere else in the box, so i plucked some of its fan leaves to reduce the humidity surrounding that plant and it opens up the buds to more air, i'm pretty confident it will be fine by the end and i'm not worried that it will spread.
Other than that nothing else to say, well i did something to one of the Bubblegum XL's a week or two back to show what can be done, but we will wait till the end for that...
