In The Garden With Papa OG

[JiggiLotus]

Hobo blood in your cutters....
Excellent!!!!

 

[con]

First chubby Hobo Lady down!

Had to use good ol power oscillating tool to chop her down.

She was so big, and thick I had to cut her in half to drop all the big foliage. Even got some color on the trimming scissors.

Congrates on the chop or for those trees felling, great looking bud

 

[Papa OG]

Moving on! Y'all



Hobo Lady #3

Shortest of the Bunch. But thick n heavy and wide. Had to separate her into 3 cuts, she was so thick. Tight tight cola's! And a smell of Mango and glue.gonna keep my eye on this one! No beans hit the ground. Even after all the violence. So I will be watching! Beans beans the magical fruit!

 

[Papa OG]

That's it for today. I thought I would be able to get them all down. But still got hobo#4 the tallest of them all, and weird as F. Like usual the OG garden never disappoints.

See y'all tomorrow!

That's what she gets for talking back! I will cut a hobo! Bwhahahaha


Looked like blueberry smear, it's going in the bong shortly.

Thanks Con! It's been a ride! But the hobos are almost home! One more stinky freak to drop tomorrow!

 

[KeithLemon]

Nice chop OGpapa and real nice bud.

Nice chop OGpapa and real nice bud.

Thanks Keith! Hoping for a nice return, I've got one more to drop. We will see here in a month or two how she smokes!

I noticed my smallest tent running much higher temps the last 5 days or so. When I peeped today it was always 90f Inside the tent, while outside of the tent is 69-71f

I did upgrade to the @PhlizonGrowLight FD6000. I run the driver outside of the tent.

So I started checking out some numbers.

The light been operating at 46% because it's a mixed variety tent. Old plants, young, clones, flowers, cactus, peppers and such.

The driver running 150f in a room that avg 69-71f at 46%

So I went to check the light bar, 132.1f at 46% this tent started at 70.7f before lights on and hit 90f in 3hrs of run time inside the tent.

The tents always been well ventilated, running 6in ac infinity in a 5x5 2 vents open, 2 fans inside the tent.



But I will have to keep my eye on this one. Can't be cooking the plants!


Light could be a great option in winter to get through them long cold snaps.

I will see how low I can turn the light down, and get some numbers.

Maybe even empty the tent this weekend and turn her up to 100 and get some numbers!



Feeling hot hot hot!

 

[HappyHazmat88]

Congrats on the harvest OGpapa. Fantastic looking ladies and I hope the smoke is just as good.

 

[Papa OG]

Here is lucky Hobo Lady #4

Yes she's in a 3 gal geopot! Tall lady! She's got legs for days! Punch you in the face with grape scents, and the aroma fresh asphalt. Lol or GrapeHalt bwhahahahhaha


Took 2 different rounds to trim her foliage down today. For what she lacks with density, she makes up with size. We will see how she goes!

The final Hobo!

 

[Papa OG]

Cutting down the last hobo!

 

[No Pain]

Hasta la vista Hobo Ladies!

Chop chop! It's been a great ride! But the speaker has spoken!



Time is long but life is short-

Spread love everywhere you go-

Whoop Whoop !! Looks like you got a couple of nuggets there!!! NIce

In regard to the lights temp I am a little surprised that its running that hot with the driver not attached and being outsidie of the room . Mine will run about 120 but my drivers are attached and they are 430 watters. So Im curiuos to see if cranking the dimmer up changes drives the heat up on the lamp. Something is telling me if it does its not going to be by much. I hope I'm right as it would make managing it easier.

In either case if need be you could build a box frame hood like they have for HID lights for it. That you could hook one of your fans up to to draw air in and around it a pull the heat out.

 

[Papa OG]

I'm running an experiment on that. Just to see if the PH changes significantly. Gallon jugs, two of them. Nutrients are mixed and PH is at 6.4.
When I feed/water tomorrow I will recheck to see.
I love experimenting and testing things out. Why? Just 'cuz.

Yeah me too.. and I like gadgets so, I just ordered a ph monitor and doser.. lol
If it drifts, it can fix itself. I’ll post all the details in my thread when available.

Cup test set up at 12pm today




1st cup red left.

Well water after 48hrs

7.45ph - 71.5f





2nd cup clear center

Well water after 48hrs/pH down

6.2ph - 70f





3rd cup red right

TPS a and b, TPS nitrogen, TPS cal mag TPS silica ( my veg blend ), then pH down


6.22ph - 69.9f






Each glass will be tested this afternoon about 8pm, 8 hrs after started. Then a few times throughout tomorrow. Then once a day the following days for a 7 day total runtime.

Curious on the fluctuations, and or fallout. I will do the same with flowering blend, when it's mixed next. But flowering blends always seem to get fed to plants, no matter what because of the volume they consume.

But I would be interested in seeing if my values change drastically over a period. Could be what I seen with the high pH on pots the other day.

Light temps I know. Crazy! I will run test shortly. The only thing I can think of is like the internal rheostat, causing a higher draw because it's dimmed. Maybe she just wants to run 100% all out!

I'm all about venting, last summer was steady 110f+ for weeks at a time. I have to get a game plan ready. Ive looked at a few industrial vents for greenhouses and such. All comes down to doing it red green style duct tape bubblegum and can of spam

So you’re getting some serious drift as well. Across the board even.
What I’m doing for now is putting a couple gallons in a bucket, phing it down to around 5.5 and dropping in an airstone.
The air seems to help it stabilize, you might have to adjust it a little after 24 hours (mine sets between 6 and 6.3) seems to remain stable enough to trust after that.
I’ll be running a 29 gallon holding reservoir with the doser and monitor. That will give it plenty of time to stabilize and get adjusted automatically.
That’s the theory anyway .. lol
Had to get a dehumidifier to dry this harvest (the same humidity your seeing now) and want to build it all into a stand.

Wow i knew PH drifted up but not that much over 5 days nice info thanks

Never would I have ever thought. It concerns me most with just straight well water, watching it go that high makes since to how much pH down I have had to use at times to hit my range.


Im. Curious by your holding and dosing system. I definitely need to hold 20gal+ at all times. That's a solid watering day around here. If I could set up a 50 gallon drum that would be amazing. Air stone! Hmph. Makes since. I will have to go pick up a pump, air stone and set up another round of test!

Definitely need to tighten up my game. It makes since of the random weird issues I've had.

You know your mix and you schedule. Sometimes I would get so comfortable and know what I mixing I would just skip checking pH, because I thought I knew what it would be at. But there is just to many variables.

Wow i knew PH drifted up but not that much over 5 days nice info thanks

I know I'm surprised as well. I don't try to keep mix around long. But sometimes especially in the winter 8 gotta fill all my 5gal bottles when the weather permits. Sometimes depending on what's growing it can sit for a week or 2. It now has my attention. I think I'm gonna start saving for a better pH pen. I trust my numbers, but I don't want any second guessing anymore. I have let pH drive me craZy.

oh yeah Dj short actually stated in a interview I have around here somewhere that the flower that he likes and intrigues him the most is that small nugget tucked way in there in the middle ..that they are the most unique and tends to have the most flavor.

Light temps I know. Crazy! I will run test shortly. The only thing I can think of is like the internal rheostat, causing a higher draw because it's dimmed. Maybe she just wants to run 100% all out!

I'm with you on that.

I'm all about venting, last summer was steady 110f+ for weeks at a time. I have to get a game plan ready. Ive looked at a few industrial vents for greenhouses and such. All comes down to doing it red green style duct tape bubblegum and can of spam

interesting stuff . Now when I say this I am assuming everyone is using Genral hydroponics Ph down. Has anyone reached out to them and asked how long someone can expect non circulated water to maintain a stable ph after adjusting it to a specific level ?

No but that's actually a really good idea. General Hydroponics pH down is the best that I've used. It's my preferred brand. I'm gonna have to reach out right now. Just for giggles.

Plz be sure to report back with their response. I've only ever used the GH brand myself, for PH up/down and the nutrients as well.
