Nick Hardy's Big Grow 2023 Gorilla Glue Skunk 11 OG Kush Coco Peat Co2 Mars Hydro

Ha I drove across Africa in a Land Rover with a reserve tank with no gauge so always trying to figure it. That was fine but the first trip in the middle of the Namibian Desert we realised about 20L into the reserve it created an airlock that killed the engine for twenty minutes until it cleared. This knowledge earning came through sitting at the side of gravel road in 40 degree Celsius heat with nothing but sand and rock to see, nervously fingering a sat phone wondering who you might call!

We got it to the point where we could almost predict it so we’d stop and boil instant noodles on the hood with a gas burner and let it figure its self out before we got it fixed back in Cape Town
What a jol! It must have really been some bundu and desert bashing stuff... awesome cool. Was this before you were married, or has your other half seen Africa yet? How much of Africa did you see? Did you do Okavango and reserves?
 
First trip was Namib, Skeleton Coast, Caprivi, Zim, Okavango and Kalahari

With my ex gf. After my first wife.

Then we did SA, Lesotho, SA, Swazi, SA, Moz, Zim, Moz, Malawi, Tanz, Zanz, Rwanda, Ugaand, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Monaco, France and England.

Flights can be so expensive.

😂
 
Cool day.

Missus wanted to learn how to flush. I made 200L this morning which she fed.

Needed 200L more to be sure.

Just Cal Mag and filler at 5.8

It just part for the training program we offer here at Nick & Co while we eat a big farmers breakfast elsewhere on a Sunday morning 🤣





Made a new batch which I’ll give a tickle of tonight maybe. Starved them today. Smash them with nutes tonight and gas in the morning.

Pushed the envelope up with the DP A/B and Bloom Explode.

EC at 2.9
Ph at 5.8
Lights close but going up tonight.
Gas not til tomorrow.

Fun times.

I'm jelly a.f. dude. I've done Zim and Lesotho out of your list... yes flight prices are insane since covid and the war! Totally OTT. A lot of your travelling sounds like before covid... is that what BC means I wonder.
 
If you end up schlepping them yourself or, God forbid, require the "Facilities Manager" to schlep them around, it will be well worth the cash. You won't believe how easy they are to move around once you find the right fulcrum angle.

But do they come in blue?

I guess I could find blue if I tried - or I have the paint already 😂

My concerns mostly based around raising the lights again today 🤦🏻‍♂️

Edit - they are rubbish photos!


 
Here’s some better ones. My eyes. Too much BB last night.

The yellow runty one from last week is the short one in the left of the picture. Noticeably shorter still. But nice rich green same at the others. They all look well.

The humidity is high and the dehumidifier keeps tripping out. Have a theory about that. Think I know what’s wrong. The fix is a pain but it needs to happen soon or mould is going to sweep the room.

I “spun” the big one and carried the small one here. Its only across our little road.

Then no word of a lie, Facilities Manager all 5’5” of her kissed her teeth and hefted the big’un up on to the bed of the truck. Sorta anyway. Team effort. 😅

Meanwhile back at the ranch…
Co2 is replaced and just hitting 1200 now. Taught my step son, who’s got a day off work today and excellent at hefting cylinders, how to do it as well. Think I need to travel in a few weeks just before harvest so teaching, teaching.

The Dehumidifier remains an issue.

Turns out my blazed sparky (at point of leaving, not while working) forgot to ask me to pay him last night 🤣

Paid him and hopefully he’s back tonight for the blue lights and Rh fix. Please!

Because downstairs is a dark and dank place as seen in the photo below (Azi the truck trolley picture got moved to off topic! 🤣🤣🤣 - seems harsh to me!)

The Barber is in Town though. I feel defoliation is in the offing 😂

 
Lolz watered a big 40L whilst reading the news on my phone and got 5.8 out with 5.8 in.

EC was 2.8 in and only 1.4 out. Makes sense. They were flushed and only had a little 20 litre tickle of nutes last night. Expect 2.6 out tomorrow. Presumably they’re using some of it or it would be 2.8?
 
Ok - my outdoor grow is now halved. I made up 12L of banging soil nutes. EC at 2.4 Ph at 6.2 (used to be 6.5 with the Bruce Banners but I’m ok at 6.2.

Also mixed in a teaspoon in each 6L of water @DYNOMYCO because why not.

I gave 8L to the outdoor (still) GG in the 15 Gallon airpot.

I gave 4L top and bottom fed to the Do
si Dos Rocketas in the SIP and put it in the veg tent with 75% lights from one of the FCE4800 lights. Tomorrow or when I recover from vacuuming and wiring that tent again I’ll put her on the gas as well. But I’m bushed for now.

Nick & Co friends of the SIP Community since for ever
