Nick Hardy's Skunk Works #4 Mars Hydro FC Evo 12x OG Kush Solos 4x4 - Viva Voce Grow

[NickHardy]

My first thought was that jars with narrower tops than sides are shite.

So I have a thought here as well: in nature, the hours of daylight peak on June 20th and ever so slowly (minutes/day) work down to 12/12 on Sept 22nd. In a tent, we slam from 18/6 or 20/4 or whatever down to 12/12 overnight. I would think that would be enough to "shock" the plant into flower rather than having to go all the way out to 36 hours of dark, which never occurs in nature. I'd love to see someone take a pair of matching clones and start one at 12/12 and one at 36/0 and then run them side by side to see if there is some gain in harvest timing. Maybe I should add that to my list of things to keep me busy in retirement...

Yeah they are a pain to fill and consume from. If this hash thing works out I might look for some little plastic tweezers to go with it. Or a mini spatular thing for just kief.

Re: lighting yes I see that - I’ve thought about slowly reducing by an hour so 18-6 to 17-7 etc, every two days. A slow flip. Its mostly not been done as I hate opening the electrical boxes and fiddling around with a toothpick pressing the tiny buttons to change the timers!

We have the 35 in the other tent getting flipped today as well so we have some comparison. Though as we all know pure comparisons are quite hard due to timings and well that light is a bit different etc.

Also retiring! Dude you’re like 10 years younger than my Dad! Him and my Mum would both go mad he retired

We'll see what happens between now and then!

 

[NickHardy]

Since this has turned into my new perpetual…

 

[InTheShed]

Perpetual what?

 

[NickHardy]

Perpetual what?

Talking by me?

 

[NickHardy]

17 plants (18 spots we saved one for the random Autos and will remove when they harvest in a week of two)

Lowest number we’ve ever run in there - that was 18 but the room within a room setup.

I love it. I was reading another growers journal yesterday, @425jesse Its short and sweeeet! Very similar style to us. Our space is 2.3 meters by 3.5m in an L shape but not a million miles from his size. His looks so much cleaner than we normally run. This is our chance at that.

Well pleased. Not a plant I’m worried about in there. Different mix to what I’d planned. The CBD Warlock just one. More details later when I count properly.

The 8x4 is being done now.

The 4x4 after that.

Then the outdoor LOS SIP.

Then yeah I want to sleep but apparently there’s plans afoot.

Nice grow.

Try again

Ferpect!

Woah. Some day.

Tomorrow is Day #1 Post Flip

I started moving them then too much. They’ve had 200-300ml nutes in two doses. Some flush stuff left over from last night then some flower nutes.

Tent was open for say 3 minutes all day. Not droopy! 8am lights back on.

I will love and cherish them every minute after 8am tomorrow until the moment I cut them to death. Actually & Co does that. I’m too sensitive.

12 plants on push button irrigation finally! We culled a Bruce Banner.

The rest are Mim x OP, CBD warlock, Ayahuasca Purple and maybe a random. Great strains but we took the 17 best upstairs.

The 3 Gallon Airpots? I have around 48 5 Gallon Airpots looking for a new home. Never using as big as 5 gallon again in coco.

The Flower room looks like in a real commercial farm even the plant sizes and everything. Really good spacing. Feels so good.

But in two weeks it’ll still be mayhem

Honestly Inprobably always think this, though the graduate stock this time is way better and the fewer plants is gonna be epic I think.

Ferpect!

The original soundtrack - he reads a bit too quick for me - especially the first few verses.

Mine finished on “the taking of toast and tea”

Too fast yes in the first verses only. It gets better.
I wonder why yours finished so early in the poem.
What a beautifully crafted work of words.

"Til human voices wake us, and we drown." right at the end is where my video finished.

My plant video is much shorter so added some logo filler. Its a bit like Shakespeare - there are a lot of expressions there that became catch phrases in the 50’s, 60’s or whatever. Maybe Eliot didn’t coin them but certainly popularised them.

Then most of this site is your perpetual! Happy 2024.

 

[NickHardy]

Well they were insta praying after maybe 3 minutes of light.

But what the actual fk have I done!

No flash or anything - those neon green colours are real!

Some N transport issues?

Its certainly been some sort of shock to them!

“She went white over night after seeing that!”

There you go @Jon - I tried it!

 

[NickHardy]

It would be pretty were it not so weird looking! What have I done?!

Hmm. Very interesting. No cotton balls but lots of defined bud sites in neon yellowish green. Not what I expected. Although I don’t really know what I expected, lol. I wonder if those will go green now that the light will be back on?

 

[InTheShed]

We can only hope, but I'd be surprised if we see this party trick in the 5x5 competition!

 

[NickHardy]

Shed there at his New Years Party, twirling a cocktail stick with cheese and tinned pineapple on it, glancing down at his phone, lets crush Nick’s soul, hopes and dreams before year end, hmm…



Been messaging my farmer buddy, his signal is patchy at the farm. Not sent him the photos yet. Only just told him I was trying it.

My thoughts are - it starved the new growth of everything, it’ll pop right back to colour by end of day.

I’m more interested in potential impact on stretch. Like there won’t be much. That would annoy me here but can see a use case for it elsewhere.

 

[InTheShed]

Still early for the party but I'm looking forward to the 12:30am Pacific time report before I go to bed!
