Nick Hardy & Co Graduation: Coco Co2 High EC: Grown in Thailand: Perpetual

So the Demon Barberess finally got to them.

There’s some really poor photos there. Will do better but gas was on so in a hurry.

The stems are solid, trunk like and woody. I can see up potting to airpots being a chore.

The weirdos I’m tempted to get out now. Put them outside. We could just maybe get 21 in 5G airpots in there. The other grow keeps rolling. Todays accidental chop and smoke test may account for bad photos.

Bit of seating rearrangement tomorrow I think.

Happy though. A few blasts of the gas through the day. Brass Regs now in Thailand. Getting closer.

Some slightly better photos from the other side. They are totally mixed between strains in colour and height. The ones closest to the fan definitely smaller. They weren’t really rearranged today. & Co did all 27 in and out. Think it took a while. Huge respect. She also cloned all the tops into solos.

Which is handy!

So yeah day in the bag. They have about 3500ppm Co2 in there to last until 2am when I’ll manually turn on the @Mars Hydro inline fan. It should get to 500ish in the next hour but I want to clear some humidity.

Its hot and steamy in there. But the gas is strong and turned up the lights. The FCE4800’s are at 100% and 10” from top of canopy and and 13-14” mean canopy. Gas baby.

Insane numbers. 2.5 EC again. 1300 or so PPM.

Nick & Co (Coffee flavours crazy)

 
I just dried a 4x8 tent of moisture off the walls. Took two full size towels and a large dish cloth to soaking wet. Had all four doors open in the tent. Fan on max now. Number's dropping and lights out in 20 minutes which will drop the temp. Girls look well. This was some good day for these girls. Look amazing. Hence my overexcited posting!

Day #18 Veg Done

Nick & Co (She’s so asleep after the GG hits 😂)







 
I managed to only bloody totally nause up the posting of this right up (Oceans 11

Day #19 Veg. Nanana nineteen the average age… I’ll get me coat.

All cool. 2.5EC and whatever last mix was going in. Lights on 100% at 10” - raised them a bit today. New mix tomorrow.

We moved rhen around a bit the weirdos are by fan now. Swapped with rhe shortwr ones see what happens.

The stems/trunks or however you would like to call them look great. I managed a better photo of them today. Also shows our sort of top/defoliate ethos but this time when we up pot to the sweet sweet white airpots we’ll train just so.

Look good to us. Feeding and a few gassing sessions before bed about to happen.

It is warm and humid in there the lower numbers are when I was trying to mentally calibrate that sensor upstairs. Its about 2c and 10% Rh high but still!

Nick & Co





 
Never argue with the Boss Nick it’s just not wise. Good call though her tent yeah? CL🍀
Yeah dude - they’re viable for me bow I can roll with them at this point. 😂

Anything before this stage terrifies me!

Day #20 Veg.

I want to be flipping soon but up potting same time and don’t think I can get them in that tent in bigger pots. Plus they are already at 100% at 8” on the two 480w lights. Rather they were upstairs for flip. Saves me programming timers on a ladder if nothing else. So maybe Sunday Day #23 assuming we chop all the plants nearing their last sunset upstairs. Play it by ear. They look lush. So much better than the upstairs grow were at the same time. These are pristine in comparison. Yum.

Some strawberry joined the coffee which is more chocolately now.

Nick & Co (salivating)

 
Hmm yum.

New mix today.

2.35EC and 1180ppm toping out the manufacturers recommended mix range. Lots in there. Extra filler and all. Been gassing them quite regularly through the day though.

Lights are low, had a little adjustment up. Growing well. This bit is so easy (unless I’ve poisoned them with nutes just now) The genetics of the seeds are just great. So similar in phenos generally.

On to tomorrow.

Nick & Co

 
Lights are everything and this is the first time the @Mars Hydro FCE4800’s have had a real run out. They’re awesome (but we are strong elsewhere too with nutes and gas and genetics)


I’m not sponsored by Mars, get no special consideration from Mars but they’re legit very very good. The balance is a bit of a pain.

This video by an “influencer” but serious guy with the science. He bases a lot of stuff on Prof Bruce Bugabee.

Watch 7-10 minutes - then 12-14 minutes and then closing notes.

At about 3 minutes it has a thing about rhe cabling which I don’t like. In his assembly notes. The FC version arrives full assembled and sliding the bars and eyenuts aroynd unbalances it all. But light delivery perfect.
Two notes - we have a newer model with Samsung Drivers, we spaced our bars evenly and we run at hands span from canopy - about 24cm or 8” in veg. Directly above all the plants.

But its a great light for us for veg. We don’t use the outer space on the diagrams. Quadrant light coverage - the outer ring we don’t count. So 1000ppe or whatever. More I think. Its mega for veg but gas and EC and humidity.


I’m talking to another Chinese light company about building me 100 LEDs for me and some pals. I have the tech down on exactly the voltage per diode, diode denistiy and wattage for the ultimate light. They just build for me. To spec. I need 10 or something. But have friends want 90 or so. Soooo

But Mars Lights are awesome. Legit. Watching the review the same guy did for my flower lights. They are also amazing nunbers.

Credit where credit is due.

Also those three Indy’s at the front - they the ones! They gonna be famous!

Nick & Co



 
Didn’t raise the lights today. Had to think about it but did Ph the nutes.

Gassed loads, all day long.

They are lovely.

Harvesting upstairs but will be over a few days. So they’ll get close on 4 weeks in veg. Oops.

Coffee and strawberry chocolate still.

Hot, humid, laden with light and riddled with Co2. Poor little little things.

Nick & Co (Smoking his own grown OG Kush since 8pm)



 
Took one look each (separately an hour apart) me and & Co after.

“We need up pot tomorrow latest. Harvest upstairs and move upstairs in one day.”

Same from both of us. Its the width of them. Plus the Indy going outwards and crazy. We need 21 upstairs tomorrow. Two I want to throw. 4 we can keep for mothers. And keep in veg in that tent for a while. That’s fine.

No photos - really busy day with two, maybe three whole grows on the horizon. Talking about it today a lot. But only one is ours totally. That’s cool and a couple of months out yet.

Up potted. Just finishing lowering the lights as we’ve moved them into the flower room. I’m going to switch them off at midnight manually for a few nights. This will give them time to
Adjust to the new pots and brighter lights and generally nicer surroundings. Whilst building some pf the extra hormones @Bill284 let me know about. Cheers dude! This slower flip I think might work here.

It moves them from 18/6 to 16/8 before 12/12. Move them down slowly. 21 girls in there. 10” from 75% @Mars Hydro FC6500 lights.actually still 100% but will turn them down a touch when home. Loadsa gas. My wife is a force of nature. Some meth head accused me of crashing into her motorbike just as we were starting to this. The video from dash cam convinced the builders not only did I not touch her motorbike but her motorbike was about 20 meters away in her front yard at the time I passed it. The fact it didn’t start was likely lack of gas or battery issues. Bizarre loser. & Co rinsed the lot of them and then did what you see below. 8 Strawberry, 7 Indy and 6 Island. If ai can find another Indy and lose an Island I will.

We up potted from 3 gallon fabric to 5 gallon white airpots. White with blue flashes mostly. Coloured tape for strains. New feeding collars installed as required. Fan moved. Lights down. New feet mixed and fed. Banging at 2.73 EC. Last 200L of veg mix. Should be 3-4 days worth and we’ll flip anyway.

Some day. Harvested lots more. Moved plants all around and & Co schlepped like like a schleppy thing. I took too many photos.

Nick & Co













 
With blue accents, Shed. Don’t foeget the blue accents on the white airpots 🤣

Nick
Wow I would really love some white air pots. :rofl:
Or even the black ones. ;)
Jus kidding.
Garden looks like you know what your doing :yahoo:
How did that happen?;)
Great work Mucker , I'm pretty proud of you. :thumb:
Talk soon.
