As much as I've enjoyed your wit up to now I cannot believe this is my first visit to your journal Rico. I still have a few pages to catch up on, but I think I'd like to see what the Lord of Plants pulls off from here out, if that's ok with you. :battingeyelashes:

The Creation scene? Priceless. Just priceless. :Love:

:welcome: Sweetsue :battingeyelashes: I have only been updating sporadically lately and it may be time for a fresh journal soon, as my unknown hybrids are all gone now, except for the fledgling ex-ODP regeneration.

I finally have a feel for the tent and it's environment; I just need to put up some more stickers, now that their effect has been proven beyond a doubt. Final harvest dry weight was approximately *mumbles incoherently*; so all in all it was a fairly successful grow, apart from the times that we ran dry...Which were tolerable thanks to Mr.Squirryl's favorite cousin :Love:

So I found a reason to stay alive,

Try a little harder, see the other side :geek:

Talking to myself,

IMG_2617-001.JPG


Too many sleepless nights.

IMG_261911.JPG


Trying to find a meaning to this stupid life.

IMG_262114.JPG


I don’t want your sympathy.

IMG_262711.JPG


Sometimes I don’t know who to be.

IMG_262415.JPG


Hey, what you looking for?

IMG_263211.JPG


No one has the answer,

IMG_263510.JPG


They just want more...

IMG_264116.JPG


Hey, who’s gonna make it right?

This could be the first day of my life.

Does this really work as noise suppression? Did you make that cover yourself or purchase it? Mine runs reasonably quiet, but it's in my bedroom. It could stand to be quieter. Maybe a muffler is called for. :hmmmm:

Do let me know when you start your new journal Rico. I'd like to get to know you better. :Love:

Hi Sue :ciao: I topped the little Snowbud :Love: with my finger/thumb nails.

I bought a 3 fan "Cabinet" from the local hydro-shop owner (over the local head shop owner)

I stripped it and 2 fans were salvageable (with sock, but not coated in insulating foam)

I will let you know when the next Journal starts :thanks:

For pumpkinpatch1 :ciao: and anyone else who is interested:

Tent is a Gorilla 3"X 3" Standard.

Light is a Mars II 1200 LED

600 watt oil heater, set to middle. Temp is 30 degrees Celsius.

Exhaust fan is 4", but sufficient (Tent walls get sucked in on setting "1")

Carbon filter is a standard grow shop item that works perfectly.

I have a vertical oscillating fan and a standard fan, pointing 45 degrees upwards.

I am using a blend of cork/peat/coco (Pre-fertilized, unfortunately - I Usually use Peat/coco/perlite)

I use Bloombastic from Atami for bloom,

Otherwise:

Great white root fungus

Tarantula soil bacteria

Biobizz Fishmixx

Pots are 12 liter /3 gallon.

Hello,

I just read from start to finish with a smile on my face :)

What sort of humidity levels were you having?

And is your tent 3 meters x 3 meters?

All the best :green_heart:
 
re: Gorilla 3X3 Tent Grow - Mars II 1200 LED

Hi ChaChaCat :ciao: The tent is 3 feet by 3 feet :)

My humidity was quite high for a while and I put a few anti-humidity box packs in there, which helped, but since I got the heater and ventilation sorted out, I have not had a problem in that regard. Getting the temps up to a fairly constant daytime 30C has really helped. I have to water the Skywalker Kush every day now, as she is quite dry each morning when I check.
I don't have a humidity meter, but the environment feels good to me now :thanks:

The force is strong with young jedi. Powerful she will be. Roots she did not need. Inside seed did her leaves grow. Yellow they were, as the seed was dug out.
A very short root she had. Next time, no great white or tarantula in the peat-pod there shall be :Namaste:

Very long her root is now. Transplant I must. Soon...:rollingeyes:

Skykush the elder smells much less lemony, but more spicy/perfumey than her sister :thumb:
 
re: Gorilla 3X3 Tent Grow - Mars II 1200 LED

:thanks: Atlien She is coming along nicely, if somewhat slowly.

One of her revegging ripling in the silicone dioxide/hydroxilic acid based cloner has grown rootlets already :)

Happy with progress now, as Skywalker Kush #1 starts to bulk up.

IMG_2779-001.JPG


African (Lack of) Power has been consigned to the sample bin :rip:

IMG_2793-001.JPG


Which puts Skywalker kush #1 in a precarious but delicious situation...

IMG_27787.JPG


I sampled a lowish tip (see cut stem above) and she is in a completely different league from her sister.

IMG_276311.JPG


She smells like spicy perfume; her sample nug slapped me in the face and karate-kicked me around the room.

Snowbud :Love:

Growing quickly every day now, I keep digitally pushing down her two longest shoots whenever I visit.

Rooting rapidly

Ready for this

Looking good Rico...
 
re: Gorilla 3X3 Tent Grow - Mars II 1200 LED

No, thank you & a few other members for getting me started and helping out when I first joined as a virgin grower. I'll never be able to completely repay that. You guys changed my life.
 
re: Gorilla 3X3 Tent Grow - Mars II 1200 LED

:hugs: I'm sure there are plenty who could say the same to you, Reg :high-five:

You repay it every time you help someone else grow their own :yummy:
