Happy Shatterday to everyone!
My Morning update.
The GF made her own 420mag account here!! so go welcome her! her username is LadyGreenthum, cause she's so original! haha
Shes going to grow her own plant when our seed order arrives and we get all the lights and shit set up.. i'm thinking it will probably be end of August when i get the big tent show finally up and running and ready for a plant or 2 or 3 or 10!!
Shes going to grow a Dinafem OG kush in her own RTF system that i will of course help her set up, but she will be doing the pruning, troubleshooting, feeding.. all that shit.. i will just assist her, as well as take care of my other plants and my other tent i will have going!
Tomorrow is my day off! Yay! I can get some real work done. That includes finishing the clean up of my den so i can set up the 4x4 tent and get that ready for its new additions this week coming up. I've moved the grow box into my planned area for the 8x8 tent cause Lady Greenthumb would rather have a small white cabinet looking thing in plain view rather than a Monster tent! haha
She makes a point!
Also i would like to get the bottom and top part of the skeleton for the Monster tent ready to attach when i have 2 extra pairs of hands willing to help. Once i have the tents up and built, the hard shitty part is out of the way. Constructing the 2x CoolTubes is a breeze, cause all thats needed is to attach the reflector. Then i just need to wait for these inline fans to come into the warehouse here at my local supply, and i will get them. then I move the DWC's into the big tent and re model my veg area. Thinking a small flood table and a top feed system for the veg area, or maybe a small Ebb&Flo? i duno, i need something to battle the warmer temperatures that the bathroom can experience with inadequate air circulation, mainly no good way to get the hot air out!! i have to formulate a plan to have my bathtub area stay as the veg area cause theres not really any other space for me to have a veg area other than buying another 4x4 tent. But then i'm living in a tent city and i think the GF has put her foot down on buying more tents unless we move to a house and have like 2 or 3 larger spare bedrooms to do this all in.
So on to my real update.
I'm just waiting for my seed order to arrive as well as my new goodie!! Goodie should be here around Wednesday, and beans should be here sometime next week, i'm going to say like... tuesday they arrive. I'm just speculating tho!
OF the 20 seeds that i germinated, theres 10 in rockwool cubes in the growbox under some indirect light until the seeds crack the surface of the rockwool.
the first 2 GWSxWW seeds that i germinated are already forming their first true set of leaves. I sure hope these fast sprouters arent males, and just speedy genetics as a result of this crossing, or a very successful attempt at germination with my new method.
I also have 5 to 7 more seeds that have cracked, i'm just waiting till they have a longer taproot, cause the 2 forming their first true set of leaves had over an inch long taproot when i planted them, and they are doing awesome!
All in all my revised germination method has been a wild success!
I am going to flower my plants in the Super Roots Air pot. I can purchase 5 20gal airpots for less than $80 canadian, delivered to my door, or location of choice of course.
This air pot will sit on top of a rubbermaid Tough box which will act as my reservoir. in the res will be the water pump that feeds the roots via a hydro halo set to water once in the morning for about 15-20 mins
Eventually when i am caught up on the bills again, and money isn't so tight, i am going to actually get this shit hahaha. For now, i am going to flower out my larger girls in their DWC homes, or i will build recirculating DWC's for them if the water temps get too high under the cool tubes and with a ridiculous amount of airflow compared to the shitty conditions they are sitting in the bathroom. But i dont see this being a problem.. I actually think these plants going under 2 air cooled lights will drop temps they are experiencing and lower the water temps they are sitting in, thus allowing them to flourish and produce a large harvest for me.
The seeds i am sprouting right now are going to go in the hydro tub if they surpass the clones i have right now. They aren't looking that great. Its been almost a month i cut them, and they aren't really rooting anymore. The new clones i cut aren't doing anything either. I'm going to build a cheap little bubble cloner and see what i can do with that. Hopefully my cloning success can be increased using a method i am familiar growing in already.
I have to make a run to the hydro store soon to get Florablend, rockwool croutons and maybe a slab of rockwool to try some rockwool cloning again, although i think i may give up on rockwool cloning, as i seem to get clones to root, but fuck its just taking too long.. Why do i see everywhere " rooted in 14 days, 12 days, 10 days.... a week? " Fuck, i'm barely rooted in almost a month, this is discouraging i'll tell ya. Will definitely try the method i described above.
On the hydro store note.. I called them an hour ago, and still no hydroguard. "Oh they must be out of stock or something.." kinda sounds like some lazy ass dudes that forgot to put it on their order list. They didn't even know it changed its name to Hydroguard. So looks like i am going to order off amazon, cause i'm pretty sure i will get it faster than the hydro store will get it. And i need it like last week! fuck, i'm down to drops, i swear and res change is coming for the big girls! ugh.
Anyways, to end this post on a not so positive and kinda crappy note, i kinda broke the bowl on my bong before going to load it for a toke. just the piece that goes into the stem broke off, and if you hold it to the stem, it still works hella good actually, its just annoying to have to hold it cause now it has to sit on a table so you can hold the bowl to the stem. Will be going to the bong store tomorrow to replace it as well as return an airline whip for my vaporizer cause they sold me the wrong one and dont have the right one in stock.. again.. back to holding the whip to the heating element.. fuckin wack! i broke the original cleaning it and replacing the screen as per the instructions. guess they had some 8 year old malnourished thai boy sticking his skinny fingers in the glass tube cause i couldn't do it to save my life.
I will have a full picture update tomorrow showing you where i am at with everything when i have the time to take some pictures and upload them.
Until later tonight,
GreenThumb out!
