Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

Cloning should be pretty simple.I can get u up to par on that, I'm sure.U should be more like around 90% success rate. Most of mine stick. That last pic happens when the stem is dipped to far in the solution or when the excess pools on top of the media around the "soil line" (for lack of a better term). U can PM me or we can go over it here. Its all up to u if ur open to it.

Would that cause them to eventually flop over at the 'soil line' and die? Because that's what most of them do. If that's my major failure, that's really easy to fix.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

i love that last pic with the roots reacing for the cube, if its an issue just snip em off and upright the clone, or maybe bury the stem that deep into the soil

 

[Aberration]

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

I did bury them when I transplanted. I posted that pic because it looked cool. But if I understand BWC BayArea, this is the cause of my trouble.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

I was speaking of the roots developing above the soil line coming off of the stem. Not sure why they would flop over. Do u mist/fog them with h2o? Keeping the RH above 80% is important when rooting aka "sticking" cuts. Hope this helps Ab.

Bloom - Day 15

small buds of highest tops i can see now!

rooms looking full full full

Yes. Small buds. A room full full full of them.

Then, just to see how they would look, I took some blind shots from under the canopy looking up. First is a shot with flash, and then the same view without flash. Once I looked at them, however, I realized the second does a great job of telling me where my canopy is thickest, giving me logical target areas for trimming suckers, etc:

The garlic chives are doing well despite the deep shade they live in:

While I was under there:

It's really hard to hold the camera steady down there. I need to find my little tripod. Here's as steady as I could get this shot:

Next time, I should mop and dry the floor before crawling around too.

They are all giving me a nice bit of runoff now. All about equally. I'll have to try hanging at this feed volume until they stop having runoff again.

I need a second dehumidifier. That 50 pint can't get the room below 50% by itself, and it only gets it that low when conditions are favorable. I need a few things. I will be patient. It will come to me.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

Looking real good. That's a very dense canopy. You are going to really pull some weight from this grow.

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

That would be nice.

Yesterday:

	1/2 t  Companion

So there is a bit of news from the events of last night.

First, the plant that was designated TBD (To Be Determined) is now known to be G13xGodbud, so I will refer to her as G13xGB from now on.

Second, I pinched (crushed, not pinched off) the stems of BD and G13xGB above the 4th node from the bottom, and I also pinched and bent the tops. When I did it last night, I also hung a medium binder clip from the horizontal top of BD, as it popped back up awfully fast without. The clip wasn't actually pinching the stem, just closed loosely around the branch. Tonight it looks fine, so I moved the clip to the bent top of G13xGB. Here's BD now:

Third, we have positively identified KK1. It is PG4, which was not good bud at all in my opinion. Weak and flavorless, it was smokable, but not worth growing again. My mentor is going to trade me out, and I should get a Lavender or other more desirable strain in return. We just have to get a wardrobe box from U-Haul and the switch is on. If I get Lavender, it will bloom so fast it will come of age with the rest.

Fourth, it is pretty clear that both MTO3 and MTN3 are actually that damned Orange Cream. That means I have 4 OC out of the 6 plants in the bloom room instead of just 2 like I thought. It also means that every clone I have is actually Orange Cream. I am not amused. I am trashing them all. I need to get away from the OC. I'll bloom out what I have in there now, but that's all.

Fifth, we have concluded that all of veg should go to 600 ppm for a while. The ones that were getting more could use a break, and the others need the boost.

Finally, I topped PS. The stem underneath was what I would consider significantly hollow, so I covered the end with a little piece of white duct tape:

In that last shot you can see the little pots that previously contained the transplanted clones there in the background. You might notice there are no plants in them now. I didn't waste any time.

I'll have the feeding report later, after I actually do it.

I added floros under the canopy. Here's a vertical 2-frame pano of them. They turn on and off with the overhead HIDs of course:

I also took some budding pictures:

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

Thank you all. I will try to live up to your perceptions.

If you do any programming the remainder of this post might be interesting. Otherwise, you might find it a bit dry. Fair warning.

I've been developing a grow automation system. I'm working in java because it's quick and easy. So far I have a schedule manager and all the objects it needs. It doesn't have a timer loop yet (another class) but it does provide scheduling queues, both clock style and interval. So I can provide an arbitrary set of times, or intervals, each with an associated state (like ON or OFF) to trigger changes to USB controlled relays (phidgets.com). It supports basic states like on, off, null (no change), as well as allowing more complex actions. It has 1 second accuracy, and can forecast incredibly long interval patterns. It's multi-thread safe.

Next is an actual timing loop (trivial) and a scheduling interface. I also intend to support USB-based sensors, branching control logic, data logging and and a variety of other details that should be great for any home automation, but especially for growing. I also want to create a sophisticated data entry system to make manual data collection easier. Eventually, I want to be able to monitor and adjust my grow remotely.

Not a new idea. And the vast majority of plans this ambitious tank and never see the light of day. But I have interest, persistence, and enough skill to do it. Might as well try. I would like to be able to check on my grow via a secure wireless web connection, from a coffee shop in Amsterdam, someday.

lol i was just thinking up a relay system that could go with the software i was talking to my friend about , i think i can set up a switch box and control unit that could all run from usb or bluetooth really unlimited what i can turn of and on , wish i could do programing , but i can only build the electronics and make them work via a signal
lol and stoners are dumb sheet man love to see minds at work , what you might want to look into is stage lighting software might give some insight or ideas for what your thinking

Re: Aberration Goes ker Bloom! - 2009

Thanks for the idea. I'll check it out for ideas.

I traded some plants: exit KK1, enter KK2 & TBD1. KK1 was actually PG4 so good riddance. TBD1 is likely either G13 x GodBud or BigBud x Blue Magoo. We will find out later.

For now, TBD1 gets transplanted into a 10 gal pot in preparation to go in the bloom room very soon. KK2 is another plant I'm going to veg out for someone on the promise of later cuttings.
