So I managed to upload my pics last night but had to wait to post until today...RL just gets in the way sometimes.
So I harvested a NL on saturday. It was from seed. I have some clones of it in veg now. None of the harvests recently have been very good. But all the plants are still from the old lights and nutes. I won't reach the point that they are all under the new system completely for a while.
No cure and NL is already unique and very tasty. Samples are really good. Looking forward to the future NL's with a good cure.
So let's take a look!
A little over two Zips.... BAH! poop!
The nugs never got solid. I could have run longer but i seem to pick off a few nanners. Not a single seed yet so I think it was sterile. It didn't have alot of potassium in the beginning and the light switch over hit this one right in the meat of the fill. The lack of light coverage for like 8 days hurt some. I think the next three are going to have similar results. From there i believe it will start improving... Some that are in flower right now are huge for so early. They should be good producers. I am also still working on strain testing. I am already ditching some.. for now... SD.. BBHB.. NL5. Some already like the BBHB but the other two as I use up what is in veg... SD I can pop a seed later...
So let's look in veg...
I am starting to get a rhythm to it. A pattern. So far so good.. I have a little more manual watering of the little ones than I like but i am getting the routine down. The Afghani project is a mess!! the AF3 does not want to clone. I have lost two already. They are like the first two clones i have ever lost in coco. All three struggled and the two that took are stunted. I have taken other clones before and after... I do it regularly and nothing else struggled. I think it is just tough on cloning... Some i guess are... As soon as I get that one cloned I am going to send the mothers to flower and sex them. Probably junk them .. they look like shit.. They are stuck in 1 gallon pots and should have been up potted a long time ago. They drink it dry daily. I just want to sex them and start with the clones fresh. Then I will take better care of them. I am not sure why I popped them while changing all the stuff over. They got neglected...
So over in flower....
Group shots only except a few buds....
SD
And FP i think...
Yup it is...
So I put one light at the end of the mover. Just to make sure that side of the room doesn't get shaded too long. I feel better with it set up this way. The mover only goes about 6 feet now and there are lights on both ends. I love this set up as I can shut off a valve unscrew the hose and move the plant. So the last 5-6 weeks of all plants they will go under the PS1000. 10-12 in flower at a time and (10 right now) 6-7 get coverage from the PS1000 at a time. So the fresh to flower plants get the mars and then get moved under the PS1000 after a short while.. Eventually another mover and PS1000 would be spot on. Someday...
So things are going well. Calmed down some... I m realizing maintenance is alot more now with all these plants. I added a float to the fill on the 30 gallon tank. That way I can set it to fill and walk away. Watching it was getting to be a pain in tha ass... I have to fill it about every 3-4 days now so that will help alot. There really is nothing like automating shit. Never going back to all those single DWC tubs changing them weekly etc.. Damn! I sure found a better way to do it.. The only thing i am debating trying down the road is some good soil. Doc's maybe? Soil I do realize adds a flavor. Not that I mind it but hydro stuff does have a hydro taste. I'd love to compare someday...
So I guess that is about it for now... I am looking forward to the next week or two.. quite a few plants going into flush right away... Should be interesting...
Thanks for all of you that come by...
