Woop Woop! Awesome harvest Homer. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have a local dispensary now. Thank you so much.
You did a fantastic job down there, but really I was hoping to see a jack hammer. Great day's work!
Me, I cooked dinner and sat in my tent. Also a great day's work.
Why do you need a dispensary when you are overflowing with Pineapple chunks everywhere?? Looking forward to how big your total is; I bet it is HUGE!!
An ironworker probably would have used a jackhammer.
Cooking dinner and sitting in your tent sounds like a hard day to beat. Be the plant…

Hey Agemon; thanks for stopping by. Glad you love WW, makes me look forward to it even more.
Thanks, Dutchman. I am grateful my first grow worked out ok. Thanks about the grow area too; I do like having my babies in the next room, lol.
Hey, you said you were just storing books in there...
I do...cookbooks. What were you thinking
so I needed the books

Things seem to be going very well, knock on wood, in the garden. Since I have stopped adjusting my pH my plant seem healthy and happy still. Here is a pic of my plants that have been budding for three weeks and two days. At this stage of my last crop I had a pretty bad brown leaf problem so it’s inspiring to see such healthy ones now.
I have three strains budding at this time; a cutting from my northern lights, from a seed Cannatonic from Resin Seeds which is supposed to be a 2 to 1 ratio of CBD to THC for my knees and a free Yummy seed that I had never heard of until I got it free also from Resin Seeds which is a cross between a Yumbolt and G13 Haze.
Here is the Northern Lights.
Here is the Cannatonic.
And here is the Yummy which seems at this stage to be the best budder so it looks promising.

Very impressive Homer! Good to hear from you again. I seen you lurking around and figured you'd get to an update sooner or later.

Beautiful man! Cheers!
Is that Mylar for your walls? Looks great for photography too! Do you get hot spots using that, same as if it were glass or mirrors?

Hey Sauga!! Glad to see you dropping by. Yes, I have been lurking around but haven't had that much to post about because I haven't had any problems lately which is good. Moving to the basement was a good idea because my temps and humidity are a lot more stable now too. Hope all is well with you my friend.
Hey Wally.... thanks for stopping by and for the encouragement!!
Yes, I got the Mylar but that was before I found out most people don't use it anymore and a big reason I hear is hot spots but I have never noticed any problem with that.
Everything is awesome Homer... thanks!
Here's a snippet from a link in my signature regarding hot spots and mylar.
Foylon:
A more durable version of mylar, made of spun polyester fabric and reinforced with foil laminate. Foylon is resistant to most solutions, won't tear or fade, and can be wiped or washed clean.
A great solution for growers who are interested in long term use, and though it may be slightly more expensive than mylar, its durability will more than make up for its cost. It has the ability to reflect about 95% of the light and approximately 85% of the heat energy, so a good ventilation system should be used in conjunction with folyon.
A recommended method to attach Foylon to the walls would be using Velcro, as it makes taking it down for cleaning much easier nd reduces the risk of tearing, creasing or bending it. If this is used for your walls, making sure you get it flush with the wall with no pockets of air between it and the wall to prevent hotspots.
Mylar:
A highly reflective polyester film that comes in varying thickness, the most common being 1 and 2 mm thick. The 2mm thick mylar while not quite as durable as the foylon, is fairly rugged. The 1mm thick mylar tears fairly easily, so taking it down for cleaning is quite difficult without damaging it in the process. Both types of mylar are able to reflect approximately 92-97% reflective, giving it the potential to be more reflective than foylon, but because foylon is more easily cleaned without damaging it as well as it being harder to crease, foylon usually ends up being slightly more reflective. Important to note is that mylar reflects radiant heat energy just as well as foylon (around 85%), so proper ventilation is necessary if mylar is used in your grow room. Attaching this to walls can be done in a similar fashion as foylon, and the same caution should be used to avoid creating hotspots in your room. The 1mm thick mylar stands a fair chance of being creased or ripped in the process unfortunately, even if Velcro is used to attach to the walls.
Take care buddy.

Thanks for the link about the Mylar. You know me though Sauga,
if it works why spend more money, lol. 
Foylon sounds like a planet from Star Trek!
Plants look great Homer.

Hey Homer,

This crop has been budding for one month today. I’m afraid to jinx myself so I’m going to be careful and all I will say is that things seem to be going pretty good.
Here is a bud of the cloned Northern Lights.
And here is a bud of my Yummy plant.
Besides the oscillating fan I have for the bottom of the plants I have added a 3 amp 12 V computer case fan. Most case fans are about a quarter of an amp so this thing is quite a beast so I have it hooked up to an old computer power source I had and a Pulse-width modulation controller so I can dial in exactly as much air movement as I need.
I tried mounting it solidly to the floor joist with screws but because the thing is slightly out of balance it caused a humming noise so I mounted it with shoelaces and it is much quieter now so I can literally say I am on a shoestring budget with my grow.
