Garden Update:
So I took clones of both plants today. I wanted to try something new so I picked up some root riot plugs and a humidity dome. I still haven’t built my veg box been kind of busy but I’ll need it once these clones get bigger so I have at least 3 weeks I think.
I defoliated the girls when I was taking my clones and switched my light to the HLG 288. I have another HLG 288 to add once I get some flowers going. I moved the HLG 65 to the cover the clones and it will go in the veg box when built. The girls a looking a little sad because it’s watering day.
I also just dropped 3 of the Stankberrys in some water. I am really hoping for at least one female.

Garden Update:
The clones were showing roots so I went ahead and put them in solo cups so I can get them in soil. Some of them look bad idk if that’s because of me only giving them water but now they are in soil the should have some nutes. I was super busy this week I didn’t get my Stankberrys to pop so I put some more in water today. I’m also going to finally make my veg box this weekend so updates coming soon.
The Titan OGs are doing well they are still stretching and filling the tent nicely. I think the number 1 phenol is the one I’m going to keep but I won’t know until I taste the buds of course. My air pump comes in today so I can finally make some compost tea.

Garden Update:
I built the veg/clone box over the week. It’s crazy what you can do with a hand saw and a drill. I still need to paint it but I just couldn’t wait. I’m going to paint it with white epoxy paint. Then I will line it with panda liner or whatever it’s called. I used some panda film on the bottom so I can put the plants there for now.
The big plant in there is a Bagseed it smells good already. The ones not covered are my clones I’m only keeping one maybe two of them. When looking at the roots one of them doesn’t really like the super soil the roots are slow to to grow into them. The plants with the bags over them are my newly popped seeds they are a mix but the two I’m excited about are the Stankberrys. I made some compost tea also and gave the roots a nice water when I did the roots blew up in the cups so I’m hoping the same thing happened to the big girls.

You're inspiring me Chief. I need a second grow space. Not for a while though. What is the light ?

Flower Update:
The Titan OG is doing well. They have stretched quite a bit I’m glad I have the light as high as it can go. I’m going to buy another driver for my other light I picked up it’s just like the hlg288 but it’s square instead of rectangle. The bud sites are looking nice. I think I’m going to do a major defoliation of fan leaves to see if it helps will yield of the lower bud sites. One of the plants has more space between nodes and I think I like that because more air flow between the buds I think helps them get bigger. But we will see I think the bigger one is the clones I’m going to keep.

Haha thanks you guys are what inspires me to do stuff like this. I wish I had the balls to just put a big tent in my room but .... I don’t lol. The light is a hlg65. It does pretty well I just love that it only pulls 65 watts.
Looks like a nice light for the right use. Good price.
Garden is looking great Chief! Quite the stretch on that Titan huh?

Thanks Van I definitely did not expect it to stretch this much but at least I’ll know what to expect next round
I find a good stretch usually means a better yield.....so I rarely complain unless they grow into the lights. Then that provides a whole new type of challenge!

That’s what I’m hoping for. I think I’m clear of the lights we are already 3 weeks in and I think I have like 16 inches to the light. So let’s pray I don’t have to o any major supercropping.
Usually 3 weeks is it.

Garden Update:
So I’ve got some bad news I’ve had a super rough week. On the 31st I got an eviction notice. Apparently my roommate wasn’t paying rent the past 2 months. He was hiding the notices so I nvr saw them u til it was too late. I had to get a new apartment and move all my stuff so they didn’t throw my stuff out. Well long story short I got a new apartment which is great but while I was moving I accidentally put a large tower speaker next to my big plants and the speaker fell on them. My brother told me to move it but I was so tired I just wanted everything moved. So the large Titan OG that was looking nice is smashed and lots of tops just broke. I was so disappointed in myself but we live and learn.
Everything is fine with the veg box but things fell over a bit.

Sorry to hear about the eviction. Bad way to start off the year. That veg box is solid bro. You will love the compost teas. Plants go crazy for them. Around week 3 of flower i like to top dress with wormcasting and it really seems to perk the ladies up. I am thinking about switching to LED in veg and replacing the T5's. You got any recommendations??
Awe Chief good vibes sent to you friend. These plants seem resilient at times

Ya I could definitely tell they love the tea. The light really depends on what size veg space you have. I think right now the most bang for your buck would be the pacific light concepts strips. But the chilled Led logic pucks are just as good but right now I’d probably go with the strips.
