Re: Arteekay's 1st Grow - Sunshine #4 - Spider x 4 - Crop King Autoflowering Mix Stra
Sundays.... I remember when they were for napping on the couch all day.
After we quieted down the fan the other night by surrounding it in a Mars II 900w led light box, we still needed to stop it from blowing directly up onto the underside our our living room. It was quiet everywhere except where we spend the most time.
We needed to attach a vent to the end and run it somewhere.
The easiest solution was, of course, to tear apart the entire basement just
one more time for a complete reworking. Simple.
Flower and veg tent swapped, now we could run the venting into the next room where nobody would care about it (under a corner of the kitchen we are never in). We had some cheap dryer flexible venting, good enough for now. Not actually sure why we'd need anything else?
I'm happy to report that our exhaust system is odor free and not discernible except when within a few feet of the tent itself. Completely disappears into the rest of the usual household noise. WOoOT.
My OCD will likely require I purchase a meter to determine what my actual airflow is, but for now I can say it's not noticeable weak.
Thankfully we had our Vice President of Internal Security on hand to ensure our safety during the reconstruction and move.
(Lurking in the shadows, ready to defend at a moments notice.)
(what was THAT?!?!)
(I swear I hear something!)
(ahhhh, screw it.)
We were going to add Loss Prevention into his duties and responsibilities, but we expect slippage to be nearly incalculable. Not only that but we also often find him napping off all the hard work he puts in to our Floating Hair department.
After all that had gone on, we still had to give the tallest Candy Cane and Britney their meal and bath.
- Britney got soaked with full strength DNF Grow A+B and Calmag+, at about 890ppm and 5.7 PH. Can't wait to see her in a day or two.
- The Tallest Candy Cane, who I'm now going to call Candi (with an i, because she was desperately trying to be the pole other bad girls disappoint their father's around) got full strength DNF Bloom A+B and Calmag+, at about 850ppm and 5.8 PH.
I've asked Candi very nicely to stop growing, I've cut her grow nutes off in hope of inspiring her to turn her life around, but this child is just obstinate!
Time for Plan B.
Biz tried ignoring her, but she seemed determined to shrug that off. I'd had enough and we were both was raised in a household that saw a swat on the ass if I didn't behave. This girl's will needed to be broken, or at least bent.
With that I used one bamboo switch and hit her on one side, forcing her over so that her top could be dealt with.
Then she saw the second switch and I swear I saw her twitch....
With a "Will I regret this in the morning? Ah well, just another one on the pile" I bent that defiant little brat right over my knee and I instantly saw her demeanor change. I think she had learned her lesson now, for better or worse.
Before:
Her punishment:
She took it like the champ I expected her to be. Not a hint of droop or wilt noticed while we were still working around her, and even before we put her back into her room with her light and sisters, she was already looking up.
Within two hours she was reaching for the sky again.
Top turned right up, didn't expect this sharp an angle out of her:
Far right side is another branch turning back up:
Branch dead center turning back up:
Full stance:
Just noticed the night security crew isn't much better than our daytime detail:
Another one doing double duty in the Floating Hair department.
We may need to have a staff meeting.
