InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time

Happy Wednesday update all! I did not get up early enough to take down the Tin Can Kush, so I decided to let it wait until Saturday. What I did was turn off the light. It will sit in the dark for three days, and I have absolutely no expectations it will make the plant better at harvest. What I'm hoping it will do is slow down the transition from cloudy to amber on the trichomes.

It has been a week since I replanted the Sour G in the 7 gallon pot and the Candida in the Big Gulp, so those move from partial shade to full sun today. I'm working on the theory that post-transplant shade lessens the transplant shock, something that @PaleSun recommended:


So here are the three plants in the sun today:

I'll flip the Candida next week, in the closet.

All the solo cup clones are staying inside because they are rapidly outgrowing the cups and I don't have homes for them yet. Less light will slow them down.

Speaking of clones, here are the cuttings I put into perlite a week ago:

You can see above that there is some blackening of some leaves on one of the the Jack Herers though. Here is a close up:

That's the only cutting not dipped in the Dip'n Grow. No idea if that's the difference, or maybe one is closer to the water level. @Virgin Ground @Heavenly Hybrid have you seen that on any of yours?

Tonight I'll take the Red Dragon off the strings and cut the buds into turkey roasting bags for two weeks of burping.

That's it for me today! I hope your day goes well. :)
I don't really get black leaves. They usually turn yellow and then brown.
I think that a half inch to an inch of water will wick up to the top of a solo filled with perlite.
If you think it's sitting in the water,just pull it up a little?

You have a new fancy-schmasy scope,right? Could you take a pic (for science!)to see if it's slimy? Not sure if you can tell by feeling or not.
 
Hey Shed! Things are looking great as always amigo. As a scotsman, your use of the word 'shite' has me tickled. :laughtwo: But it has me wondering, what's so shite about said soil? Did you stray from the ProMix for those ladies?

Also, I've packed in the balcony grow and got myself a Mars Hydro 2x4. Before I get started on the next run, I wonder if you could advise me on exhaust fans? I'm wondering if I can get away with a duct fan or if I need something with more power. Here's what I'm looking at...

Thanks WL! I married a Brit so "shite" entered my vocabulary via marriage. :)

Lowe's stopped carrying the ProMix HP and during the pandemic it was very difficult to find, so I caved and bought some potting soil at Home Depot, and it nearly killed everything it touched. Turned out the pH was 7.6 out of the bag, almost a full point higher than it's supposed to be. :eek:

I was wondering whatever happened to that Blueberry Cookies from back in March!

I will defer to the great folks here who have tent experience in terms of exhaust fans. I just use a bare metal 4" or 6" in-line booster fan.

Chime in folks!
 
I really have no idea. That's the one thing about this method that seems a bit too loosey goosey for me!

Will do! Any excuse to take that out of the box and fire it up. :)
Would a clear cup help?

I need to play with my scope more.
Haven't had much time to tinker with it.
Mine is baby blue. Special!!!
 
@WreckLoose
I use AC Infinity and a Hydrofarm. Both work great. The AC Infinity have a smaller profile compared to the drum style Hydrofarm.
Gives and extra 6-8" depending on your setup.
 
I got nuthin but love for @Grand Daddy Black @MrSauga and @InTheShed. :love: :love::love: For the record, I pretty much always assume GDB is joking, I’ve never seen a true ill word from him so far. ;)

I haven’t seen that black leaf before either, but it does seem like it’s happening where the leaves are touching the cup or perlite. For me, I fill the perlite up to the level I would as if I were planting it in dirt (more perlite Shed!) then the cutting can stick out as flowers in a vase - if that makes sense. Don’t be quitting on this method already Shed!
 
I'm not quitting on it and I will try to move those leaves away from the cup (not sure if it's actually touching the perlite). It didn't occur to me that leaf contact might be a problem since when I clone my regular way the leaves are flat up against the damp dome (and each other) for days.

I can add more perlite and pull the cuttings up...I'm not sure where they will be in relation to the water table. But I'll give it the old college try. :thumb:
 
Lots of growers do things much better than I do! Not sure if you noticed I don't enter plant/nug contests. :cheesygrinsmiley:
I thought you didn't because of the threat of getting more Terpinator!?!

Ahh, of course. It's so rare to hear an American use it but when you do, it's hilarious. :laugh:

7.6?! :thedoubletake: I'm surprised they grew at all to be fair.

Here's a little nug of the Blueberry Cookies 3.5 weeks after chop. Had some PH and heat issues towards the end but I'm still pleased with how she turned out. Also, the Chocolope didn't survive and got replaced with a Cinderella 99.

Thanks for the input VG! If I wasn't so broke the AC infinity would be my numero uno but I'm pretty much stuck with the two choices above I'm afraid.

Nice nug!

What's the price difference between those two fans and what's the airflow on the top one? Bottom looks to be 130m³. I would go with the highest airflow I could afford.
So nice I posted twice.... (accidentally) :laughtwo:

The top one is 40€ and the bottom is 20€. The more expensive one is 187m3/h. I was just trying to get away with paying half the price but it'll probably end up more expensive in the long run.
 
I have two 440cfm exhaust fans both 6” I like the Hurricane it’s $62 at the zon. My gorilla tent survived it for over six years now . The other is the ipower I got with the mph/hps setup. I changed the fan to a 6” duct booster fan it only uses 1/4 amp to cool the mh/hps.
