Phenomenawesome's Auto Cannabonanza: GSC, LSD-25, Northern Lights, Diesel In Coco

Re: Phenomenawesome's Auto Cannabonanza - GSC - LSD-25 - Northern Lights - Diesel In

Woohoo good day, healthy checkup at the doc.

Some new stuff, can take some practice cuts

Ah i was right the first time, it is an enzymatic cleaner. I much prefer that.

I wonder what made me think otherwise...

I purchased the same pump for my DWC grow but found it took a lot of pumping to empty a 5 gallon pail. I eventually found a 12 volt electric pump that pumps effortlessly.

Do you remember where you got that?

I just need something to grab runnoff from the trays for now, and know what to use for a flood table but I couldn't find anything smaller that can run dry, or suck in air now and then

I got it on Amazon. They don't like us posting links here but if you search

bayite 12V DC Fresh Water Pressure Diaphragm Pump with Hose Clamps Self Priming Sprayer Pump with Pressure Switch 4 L/Min 1.0 GPM 80 PSI for RV Camper Marine Boat Lawn

The key thing you want is for it to say "Self Priming"

Alright rock and roll, 1000W of awesome. 11 plants jammed into a 5x5...still may have to kick.

Call me crazy but our local outdoor humidity was 90 percent a couple of few days. Fog all through daylight.

I couldn't get it below 86 in the tent 70 lights on, Now rocking 73f and 58 percent humidity. Ac running like crazy.
May switch with bigger unit but actually not cycling often is good.

lifted the light all the way, ditched straps.

They are praying up and loving it.

Best parts are even spread and super intense so my cannopy can be deeper.

I heard horror stories about autoflower yeilds in the less than 2zips a plant...so to save it thought 11 should get my goal of 1 unit per light. 1 unit is roughly 4 to 5 months medicine for us.

Enough time for a connesiour clone setup.

Efficiency doesn't mean anything when my grow isn't using LED in flower yet so all I care about are quality, and to have enough to really take our time in our top shelf runs, or be able to have half a tent turned into shatter, however if you know better buy your shatter if you dab.
At least for us more cost effective. the short side...return is shit.

I wonder if 40% more watts == roughly 40% more nutrients?

There is falloff of efficiency on the KW but not a substantial amount.

We could say 30% light increase and be correct.
That's a lot more light.

I understand with HID ppl jumping on efficiency liked the 600s in early 2000s for 4x4, 5x5. but it doesn't change that even running at 90% its still 33% more light with the added intensity which is the main point.

Anyway perspective is that watching Vader in the death star at Ocean Grown has 4KW hps to cover 2 3x6 tables.
1KW for a 3x3.
He runs them about 10 inches from tops of plants!
Its also nice and cool in there like here now

I run a light 'spreader' around my HPS bulbs.. Helps kill off that 'hot spots' and you can put the lamp afew inches closr without the burn. They have alot of different kinds but I like the one they designed for the Adjustawing hoods, teflon or something. They have some cheap ones that are painted that suck. But I like mine. I try for 1K per 4X4. Well close enough to call that.
Looks like you have acouple runaways? I've snapped more than one supercropping so I try to tie around the top with my tiewire,, then tie it to the mainstem,, making a J. When she starts to grow back to the lights,, looks like a figgure S... I'm way behind here so I'm just going back a minute... GL and Keepem Green

Ya that pump was a bust. I will look into your recommendations.

May not need it if I can get my flood table ready by the end of this go.

Thanks again for the information!

Clone update : questions arise..

In order to kind of fast track things I had to go ahead and take some cuts of the two larger dark plasma so I can send them into flower ASAP.

I use distilled water in the cloner about 2 gallons I added 1 ml each of part 1 and part 2 z7 by Flying Skull.

Yes!! This Z7 is what I need also that is an enzyme for coco like cannazyme. Glad I didn't buy any a little goes a long way. 0.5ml per gallon.

I changed from tap water to distilled for cloning because I want the enzymes to be ok as well start out as sterile as I can.

From what I gather sterility seems to be the largest challenge followed by heat in cloning.

I have these in the office under a CFL the floor stays the nice 68 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit and I can climate control this room independent of the house just as I can the grow room. How close can 1620lumen 2700k cfl be?

Should I get a different bulb? Anything in particular for this 20 site cloner?

I set up the cloner as follows:

Cleaned with Bleach and water 1:10, ammonia same with a good rinse between. Do not mix them.

2 gallons distilled water.
Z7 part 1 0.5ml per gallon.
Z7 part 2 0.5ml per gallon.
No clonex, instead used 2.5ml micro, 5ml bloom per gallon.

I took the almost lowest 4 cuts.
At 45 degrees and dropped them in a distilled water 1oz with 0.1ml FloraBlend
This is to aid in shock.

cleaned them up a bit... Some almost barely reached the water. Wonder if I should take them higher up next time.

I will also take some cuts in early flower of the other two, just can't wait on them anymore.

With the carb line, still a lot of bubbles even with a crappy air stone....

Ph was perfect no adjustment needed

Thanks Norcaliwood!

Glad to see you over here.

I like those hoods your talking about.
Ive seen it used in tents on lower wattage, also CMH and of course in larger grows.

They seem to cover a better spread by far. Hopefully I can do away with the 'heater' altogether soon with an LED.

Ya, I will definitely try that training technique.

Oh.... Nm Norcaliwood this is something I have never seen before.

I will look into these light spreaders.... I get crazy hot spots.

Look into Sunlight Supply's ones. They work great. GL and Keepem Green

Perfect thanks Norcali,

This should help no matter what I do with the light. I will likely run it as a 400W 3 plant breeding chamber. 2 fems one male.

Making that closet now too. It's not as ominous as people make it sound.
Veg is finally done!

A lot of construction today.
I removed the final carpet from my home which happened to be in one bedroom closet the rest of my house is all tile and linoleum which I am ever grateful for having pets and plants...

These I'm flowering in here, will get cuttings in early 12 12 again of 1 and 2 jik and of 4 and 5.

So dark plasma 12 12 starts tomorrow 5PM. I can remove males and see what we have.

Nice! I wanted my wife to have her own strain and will be the first thing I work on.

It must contain 'Aurora' in the name. So we will name it. She needs the pain killing off Aurora Indica, but anti depression and energy like a sativa.

So... Just need some Aurora Indica regular seeds and some Malawi Gold

Re: Phenomenawesome's Auto Cannabonanza - GSC - LSD-25 - Northern Lights - Diesel In

Watching Pennywise with the Malawi to see if I can manage it with others or if it needs its own space...

Here's my day 45 ish pic update

I was off on my days. Seeds germinated October 4. Day 47 from seed:

Emily, full then 2 closeups. 3ft tall

Kitty full then 2 closeup 3ft tall

Marta, 3ft tall. I managed to get them all but the last row to stop at 3ft...

Scarlet... 4.5ft tall. She's the model of near perfection of using 3D space... Accidentally. I removed enough foliage to make her stretch a bit and now near all usable bud. Can't wait to see her yeild. All the Girl Scout Cookies are smelling awesome as well... Huge win for Fastbuds on these...

Lina, 2.5ft tall, furthest along maturity wise. Her closeup was blurry.

Helga, notice a few, very included are just starting flower also some light stress. Temps 72 degrees, just watered so she will be happy as a clam soon.

Trish 3.5ft tall

Lyra, 5ft tall. her burns are old... She's growing like crazy now. Nice purple starting. Too long internodal growth. Nute finicky hence burns this strain both plants. Smells awesome now, was a BO meets licorice but it's just hash now.

Jen, 4.5ft tall huge stalk

I hope these line up right.

Re: Phenomenawesome's Auto Cannabonanza - GSC - LSD-25 - Northern Lights - Diesel In

Ok, I think I'm starting to get this

So temps have been a cool 70 to 72 degrees lights on and off which is excellent.

However some of the girls are showing light stress at a very acceptable distance. Leaf temps are 72 degrees at top of canopy.

I had increased nutrition but it turns out that they needed more. So I increased to the following per gallon:

3ml micro
9ml bloom
3ml liquid cool bloom
1/5 tsp epsom salt
1ml (0.5 each part) Z7

My ppm pen has to be broken also it shows this as 650ppm with my 200 ppm from tap lol.

Edit : noticed huge improvement

A couple of GSCs from Fastbuds

Coming along well so far.

Been a bit lazy, I need to start a journal specific to the Dark Plasmas / perpetual.

Well, a black Friday it tis, had to kick 3 girls out of the tent. It was too crowded and I decided better to not be greedy.
Unfortunately Helga didn't make the cut. Very lush just late to the party and getty way too big. I tried to stunt her but she just got taller etc.
I lost a tiny LSD25 that really had nothing to her. Likely harvest a couple of grams.
Finally, Lina the diesel sister. Same reason... Going to long, getting too big.

No looking back. New canopy and some early snow.
