Getting Freaky With Mars Hydro And The FC3000

Enjoy your break, Regrowth ...

Meanwhile, we'll leave the light on for ya! :thumb:
 
I decided to give the low budget, micro grow thing a try, if you can call it that.
Here's a 100w TS600 from @Mars Hydro on a shelf with a tarp hung for the dark period.
These ladies are about a month into their bloom cycle and still have quite a ways to go.
They're the Original Skunk x Freakshow I grew last summer. They smell great and are fairly frosty already.

Initially all four were in solo cups but about a week after flipping,
I transplanted two of them into 1L (ish) containers. I'm glad I did because they're doing surprisingly well -
and their yield come harvest time should be half decent. I've never grown plants without topping or training -
nor have I flowered in solo cups, so the other two can satisfy my curiosity.

I've got some ladies outside too on another property. Sorry, Mr Officer. It's legal.
I might share some pictures of them at some point but they're so behind that I've pretty much given up hope.
Some of them haven't even started to flower yet and our season is too short for them to finish.

Anyway, that's it for now. I hope everyone is doing great. :ciao:

Thanks, Zephyrs. Hang in there buddy... I know times are tough lately.
Your pictures are always welcome if you feel like sharing. Hope you get back to growing soon.
 
Looking good in that makeshift tent! I'm looking forward to seeing them finish strong. :thumb:
Thanks Shed. Until I can burn through some of my stash, smaller grows like this could keep me busy.
I can't see the two in solo cups yielding all that much but it's a learning experience -
and enjoyable none the less. I've got a long ways to go before I'm getting results like CM does with his.
I didn't realize this journal had been marked as 'completed' but it doesn't matter much I presume.
I'm not sure it would be worth starting another one...

:ciao: Thank You My Friend @Regrowth!! I am hanging in there the best I can, considering all the B.S. I been stuck having to deal with. I still have my 3 outdoor ladies back to as healthy as possible after my ex room mate basically tried to kill them:lot-o-toke:

hey, they're looking pretty good, buddy considering all the stresses.
Wishing you good weather and plenty of sunshine. When does the season end where you're at?

Thanks Bud, My outdoor backyard grows go on average till the 15th of October for the indica dominate strains (weather permitting of course) . Some early Octobers are nothing but 75 F and sunny, Other seasons its Straight up Rain the whole month of October. Its kinda a crap shoot from year to year.
 
I haven't seen any rabbits in a while so they could probably go on the ground safely.
Doubt they're gonna munch through these stalks. Just got watch out for the beavers now. 🇨🇦 JK

The outdoor ladies.

Right to left.

Two Clones of an Unknown Local Phenotype. They're a bit late to the party but finally flowering...
The yield and terpenes were nice enough to give it another run although the frost and high could both be better.
It wouldn't surprise me if it's a phenotype of the Strawberry Cheese Fondue I tried growing last summer.
At least the terpenes seem match well with that description. Small world.
The first was supercropped once, the other was trained a tiny bit. It's interesting how they look the same considering.

Next up, a MAC1xFS phenotype that I grew last summer.
She's probably going to have mold issues because she grows huge colas.
Last time, I bagged some with rot by mistake so I've got to double down on the QC during the trim.
I froze it all for edibles because that ammonia smell wasn't going away.
The other phenotype was fire though and didn't have the same issues. Smoking on some now actually.
Faint cookies smell and Sweet Green Tea? It's a question cuz I don't really know how to describe it lol.

Lastly, the Original Skunk.
I'm a bit tired of her at this point as it's my third time growing her and that's not counting the shelf grow...
She has hermie traits but the yield is good and I have a feeling she might hold up well in our climate.
Terpene wise, she's a sweet lemon punch kind of thing. She's in a 5 gallon instead of 3 like the others are.
Copper tape around the bottom to keep the slugs off but they weren't really interested in her compared to the others.

Very Nice Looking there @Regrowth!!! :high-five: Those girls look about the exact same Pre flower growth age as my 3 outdoor ladies! Good Job Gromie!!:thumb:
 
Looking good out in the jungle Regrowth! I see the frost a'coming on those sugar leaves so I hope the weather holds up for you. And I hear you on growing the same variety over and over...I harvested 3 or 4 successive AK-47s and by the end everyone was sick of it. :)
I thought they all needed a belt to hold up their pants but now I know it's copper for the slugs... :welldone:

The plants in the solo cups are a bit tiny but the buds are still nice and frosty.

Copper tape 🤔 haven't heard that one before does it keep em all out
 
Copper tape 🤔 haven't heard that one before does it keep em all out
It seems to work. There's some reaction with copper and the slime that the slugs produce.
I think it burns them and then they can't crawl over the tape.
Spotted the tape at the buck store and figured I'd give it a try.
It's a weird summer tbh, slugs and leaf hoppers have been the only pests around the garden.

There's wasn't much tape per roll however so it basically took two rolls to go around the 4 pots.
I'll probably pull it off at the end of the grow so I can wash the fabric pots but it says it'll last a while.
To wash the bags I just go with a cap full of bleach right in the washing machine...
