Crop King's White Widow - Coco Coir - LED

I hooked up my irrigation system yesterday with drip heads. Put it on a timer and I'm actually sitting in the driveway at the house now, haven't gone in yet LOL.

Yeah the rack is describe just like that, air to get around the whole bud. I'm off work today (excavator hasn't dug the next hole). I will be removing tarps. Wait till you see what I got Guy.

 

[ShopGrow]

Guy what boveda pack you go with? What % I should say. I considered using them but decided wait till the budget gets better before experiment with the extras.

Seems most go with 62%.

Yep, I used somewhere around that range. It was recommended to me by the guy in the hydro store. I bought 5 packs, so far it has kept the bud that I put in there absolutely perfect. I burp the jar once a day.

I thought we were Buds and you promise to never keep me in the dark LMAO.

The first one is my buddies clones with a 1 gallon per hour drip head installed. I set the timer up for 2 minutes, it gives them just less than half a cup of water. I have a drip tray underneath them to capture any water it's got a sponge sitting in it so that I can just pick it up in the morning and squeeze it out. Obviously the irrigation system in here is going to take a little tweaking, I have different size heads and different amounts of heads in each of the pots depending on their size. Pretty cool little system, altogether including timer less than one hundred bucks. This should give me a little piece of mind while I'm on vacation in a week and a half..

 

[ShopGrow]

Haha we are buds but some thing's have to be a surprise. That system looks great. Your starting my thought process back up for a irrigation system. O and good to hear about the clones still alive. I am sure your friend is happy. Did he get his problem figured out?

I think his problem is that he's a cheap ass and he's reused his pro-mix so many times that there's a buildup of salt in there. I told him to get off his wallet and he can have his plants back if he wants...... or maybe not LOL. I'm going to LST them and somehow figure out a way to flower them alongside my second grow.

 

[ShopGrow]

Haha. I've found there is being budget friendly then being a "cheap ass". It doesn't pay in the long run to be cheap at the start.

So under some influence from another member. I wouldn't call it nagging as much as motivation. Haha. I've decided to take down the tarps sooner than later. The only tarps left are the wall and door that divides the two rooms. No light or plants are near it so I am not worried about it with the lights. On the veg side the plants are very close to the tarp. A friend gave me some mylar he had left over. I have more just not sure if I want to use it up or wait. I still plan a over haul off the rooms, move things around. Make it easier for watering and stuff like that.

Whoa man, crazy good idea. .....lmao!

On a side note. I planted two more white cookies today. I normally soak my seeds before planting. This time I just went straight to Coco. Normally they pop in four to five days. Let's see.

 

[ShopGrow]

O yeah I completely forgot. Sorry Guy I know you were rooting for my tiny little lady but after two weeks of not growing, I had to pluck her. She was taking up space and we all know how valuable space is in a grow room.

Taking a page right out of flytiers book......try everything! He has good success with it, I'm 99% he's soil.

Totally understood.

 

[ShopGrow]

I was sitting in my flower area and decided to take some pics and share.

 

[Guy Cavallero]

Nice, I just got the okay last night to go ahead and incorporate a new grow room into the workshop I'm building next. It'll get me out of that tight space in our basement.......woohoooo! How do heat your space all winter? How do you keep prying eyes away?

Haha. I remember the day I got my approval from the other half. I believe the very next I was out buying 2*4s. Hmm. What do you guys call your studs up there? I wouldn't imagine they are called 2in by 4in. Anyways prying eyes, I am lucky to where my shops door is where no one can tell I have a room out back of the garage. Anyone that knows the shop is there but not the room, well they also know I'm not big on tours and showing my personal space. As far as strangers stopping by the garage is detached and opposite end of the front door of house. My neighbor on the one side is my parents (dad and I smoke together, mom looks the other way). My other neighbor is woods. When it comes to having a secret room it's some parts stealth and some parts being a dick and sending people on there way to a different part of the house. Heating, the lights for me kept warm enough when on then for lights out I just use a oil filled floor heater.

Well they are still just seedlings so I'll hold off on any more pics of them. I realized I never really put the equipment I'm using.
In veg area I use 2-300w no name led.
In flower I use a mix 2-600w led and 1or 2- 300w(depends size of plant)
Two 6in inline fans. One intake one exhaust. Sometimes I hook up a carbon filter. Depends if in-laws are coming over. Other than that I'm lucky enough that the smell really doesn't leave my shop. That being said I have on occasion gotten out of the car after work and, it smelled like I was inside a cured bag of the finest. Back to equipment
5 gallon smart pot (generic)
Coco
House garden a+b Coco
Botanicare hydroguard and silica blast.
I use well water sometimes I'll use the water from dehumidifier.

Hey SG! Great looking grow! Are your flowering led's no names as well? I was just curious how your experience with them has been and if you went with a name brand for flowering or just ran the no names in both areas. I personally want to add a few 300w leds to my set up but have been pricing out the options. Any suggestions?
