Sorry about the mold buddy but looks like it impacted very little overall. I know what you mean I was trying to cure in the garage last week and the RH was like 67%RH lol that was when I went all rice ball mode!!

Everyone else smokes so the pipe will get used, and it won't break when it's dropped so I won't have to glue it every week. Just repaired another broken glass pipe yesterday!Interesting, specially coming from a person who doesn't smoke.Nice update on the harvest! It's looking great despite the mold issue. Hope she performs well for you.
Thanks Amy...I finally got all the sticky off my fingers with loads of rubbing alcohol
Wowsers Shed, that main cola is something indeed.I had to scroll back to it a few times to be sure what I was seeing!
Sounds like the harvest was an endurance so i hope you’re recovering from it well.
. And that cola wasn't even the main...it was one coming off the 2nd node...LST FTW!Thanks Norcali! I thought the pics might bring you here
. My really fat colas tend to develop mold here. I'm almost better with a ton of golf balls like the AK.I didn't realize how big those suckers were until I had them in my hand to trim them. Thanks Derby!
Thanks JM...I got lucky it didn't start earlier so it didn't have a chance to spread.
I waited for ya as long as I could! Next time...
I'll stick it between two 2x4s and clamp them together...closest thing to a vise I have! Thank BL...it might be a short pipe but I'm going to give it a go.
Wife, my wife will be smoking it.It's going to be fun seeing Shed make a pipe of the stem and then smoking it!
The pipe idea is all BeezLuiz. Check out his thread...it's a great tutorial!Good job buddy! The pipe sounds cool
Thanks MGR! I have no doubt those lights made a huge difference in the flowering of this plant. It took off when I moved it under the strips. Hope you're healing well!
With the heat on in the house the RH got down to about 61% last night so house-drying might be the way to go for me. I left the box open and the fan on it all night and then closed it up this morning. It's going to be a delicate dance to get this thing dry. Gotta love them rice balls

Monday update is what happened on Sunday, because it's raining here and nothing is leaving the shed. The BT is still drying in the box, AK is in the office under a CFL, and yesterday I looked at the Sour G and said it was due for a trim and some water.
I didn't get a pre-trim shot but here it was last week:
Here is is post trim. After I trim I like to supercrop to fill in any gaps:
There was loads to remove and it grows really densely and has a ton of little lettuce leaves at every branch site. It was quite a clean-up job. Here it is now underneath:
This is what I took off, all of which went in the bag of fans in the freezer. I wanted to mention that the underneath growth (as you can see in this trim pic) is a perfect shade of green. Does that tell me anything?:
After I trimmed it I fed it with a gallon of the following:
½ tsp Pro-tekt Si
6 ml cal-mag+
1½ tsp Tiger Bloom
1 tsp epsom salt
TDS without water was around 900. Looks about the same this morning but it should take a couple of days to respond. It hasn't stopped growing though.
Just before I started trimming, a hopeful bee came by to see if I had flipped it yet. I told it to come by in about a month and it flew away.
Last pic of the day is the 2nd node stem where that long cola in the harvest photo came from...with a hole in the branch.
Actually, almost all the branches had holes in the middle. Evs!
I hope you're getting a little sunshine where you are...send it my way! It's going to be raining through Thursday here.

Super harvest Shed. Vitacolas there man. It must be trim day I was at it too. A little heavier than you but same outcome.
Went to the supply store and no one knew about the fitting so I threw the nipple in and screwed the bushing on and were ready to rock when the rest of the stuff comes in. Shwing! Perfect fit.

Sometimes even the plumbing guys don't get it unless it's commercial grade (except Preston of course...he can handle it all!). Glad you have it sorted out. Let the spraying begin!

Sour G looks great. It looks like the led stress is getting to her as well. Been thinking more and more about this phenomenon. It must have something to do with the real narrow band of super effective wave lengths the leds produce and makes the cells use up all available minerals faster than it can transport them up to the leafs. I want to believe I have it under control but if I look real close on the leafs they are almost tiger striped with yellowing. It can be the light that does that impression to the eye. Never the less it would be real nice to have a scientific explanation to it....
Ahh, the constant fuzz with glass. It's easy to clean but pain in the ass when it breaks. Looking forward to your handy work... and maybe a performance report from the Wifey...

They told me the same thing when I came in there with my water cooling fittings. The explanation I got to it was through a pc water cooling forum, apparently they make them cone shaped for extra seal against the water blocks. I used ordinary 1/4" fittings and o-ring gaskets worked perfect too!

I guess I could cover it with a screen or try to figure out a way to get it back under the Mars 300, though that would probably mean bringing it in the house to deal with the cold at night. I wonder if window screen would be enough or do you think it's the narrow spectrum that might be more of the problem than the intensity?
A performance report would be mandatory!Ahh, the constant fuzz with glass. It's easy to clean but pain in the ass when it breaks. Looking forward to your handy work... and maybe a performance report from the Wifey...
I used pipe tape.
Standardised parts was a huge thing when we were figuring out how to make the country work right before my time. Now, not so much I think. Oh well Appreciate the help!
Won't be long.

My best guess is both. A light like the hps puts out a lot of a wide spectrum and the light is composed of them in different intensity. These chips are extremely good at what they send out and only that. I have been thinking of trying a screen of some sort too but I don't think clear glass will cut it here. But I guess it takes away much of the effectiveness then. But I'm not surprised Mars Hydro haven't jumped on the Samsung train yet. The blurpy lights does not have this much affect to the plants. But its not sure the plants suffer from it in lesser yields. They should study this in a lab.

I meant some window screening to soften the intensity. I guess I could take the tarp off the Rectangular Cuboid of Dankness
(
) and move it into the office and hang the Mars from it again if I have to. Draping a piece of window screen is easier though. I can wait to see if the new nutes helped and then try the screen for a few days. If it doesn't look better by the weekend I can sort out moving it when the rains stop.

Yeah, that will be a nice follow up on it.
That’s is going to produce shed . Clean up on aisle six .Monday update is what happened on Sunday, because it's raining here and nothing is leaving the shed.

Scares me to cut anything from my plants but I know it is needed indoors .

Indoors or out, air circulation is a definite plus!
Thanks Kismet. Waiting for a smoke report on BT 1. She's tried some two nights in a row and immediately fell asleep on the couch. She would have done that anyway thoughSweet harvest Shed ! Should keep the wife in meds for awhile

HOLY SHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Outstanding!
that the lower ones are happier with the light...? Which is... weird... Maybe it’s just a response to the transition. Or maybe you’re discovering a strain that’s intolerant of light spectrum changes (sun - led - sun etc. ). That seems a dubious suggestion... but what could it be!!?

It never seemed to mind being moved under the Mars 300 at night. What do you think of Crazy's idea about narrow band spectrum vs broad spectrum:
I went to visit the plants a few minutes ago (still 60º at the soil because the lights had only been on about half an hour) and thought I would lay some window screen across the top of the oval on the end where Sour G lives. It took the lux down from around 30,000 to around 20,000. Since they're going to be in there for at least 5 days straight I thought I would do something other than wait to see if the feeding made a difference. Particularly after seeing the nice green color of the lowers.
