And here we have the GG. This girl has got some decent Cola's. Just not enough of them ... 12 total. I trimmed way too much off her is my guess.
She's also on 4.5 gr. but will probably go to 4.8 next feeding. Her upper leaves look a little light colored so it's probably time.
So here we go with the show ....

Well this grow I can say I learned a lot about Trimming & LST & a little about MC. I'm Kool with that !
I think I'll do much better next grow now that I have a better idea of how I want to train. Next run I'll trim as I did on the Afghan & Super Crop 1 plant to see how that turns out. I'll figure out exactly how I want to grow by the end of the year. I'm going to buy 1 of those 5 gallon DWC buckets from Home Depot. $50 for the complete set up. Also planning to buy a 3rd TSW 2000 soon so I can have 1 light per plant. So I'll run 2 Auto-Pots 6.6 gallon & 1 - 5 gal. DWC next run to see how that goes.
I'm going to experiment a little for the rest of the year & hopefully by then I'll pull at least 6 oz. per plant every grow. I'd be happy to do that consistently for now.
Anyhow, these girls are drinking like crazy. A gallon per day. The Gorilla Girl is only giving me about 5% run off at a gallon per day. The Afghan about 10% & the GG about 15 - 20%.
Here's a couple of group shots to finish the pics ....

All caught up your new grow room looks great. I'm going to buy that Mylar for my new grow set up. Im get ride of my tents and changing a spare room into a grow set up. Your plants look great. With them jars I would charge them $5 deposit when they bring the jar back I'll give them there money back cause jars aren't free

Here's my plan as far as electric goes so far. I have to talk to @Hydroholic more about this as he's an electrician & helped me out with wiring the inside of the shed. At this time I'm unsure of the type of conduit I need to use. I'd sure love it if I could use Liquitight Flexible Conduit for the whole run but need to find out. Hopefully he'll chime in & point me in the right direction.
I already bought a 125' Roll of 6/3 with ground Romex. I know I don't need the ground so I thought I'd just cut it off on the ends. I think things would go a lot easier if I can use the flex conduit. Pull the wire 1st & then run it tubing & all.
Anyway, planning to start at the box in the shed, run the wiring between the roof & ceiling of the carport area, to a junction box where motion detector flood lights will install. Now I'm wondering if I need PVC or Metal Conduit to go down the pole & underground or if I can continue with the liquitight since it's for direct burial ? The wiring I run would be hidden between the ceiling & roof of the carport. Not like you see the white wires the previous guy installed. The Conduit would have to run down the pole & under ground about 10' to get under the mobile home.

From here I was planning to come back up about 12" after under the home & Zip Tie the conduit the rest of the way over to where the main electric is. Maybe put a 2nd junction box under the home so it can be disconnected easily if the home ever gets moved.
See where the porch is on the house ? The main electric is right there. The other pic shows the distance from the shed to the house. This should give you a pretty good idea of what I'm shooting for. Got a better idea ? I'm listening !

It's worth 75 cents to keep people smiling & happy. It's only a PITA when you're broke & can't afford jars. I have so many containers & jars from dispensaries I might start using some of them too.
A spare room would be great. Divide it up for a perpetual grow & have never ending weed. I would love to have that kind of set up before I retire so I have it to keep me busy. I have this fear that things start going wrong with you after you retire if you don't stay busy enough ... LOL.
That seems to be my observation anyway.

 

[Fastass419]

Looks like you got everything worked out looks good

 

[Fastass419]

Ya my mom retired and love life I can't wait to retire I've got a lot of projects done during this shut down yes I have 4 grow tents going its alot of work if I just have one veg room and one flower room then one drying spot

 

[Buds Buddy]

I've been trying to figure out where to hang mine to dry. I may have to make room in another closet for that. I don't really have a good spot for that. Wish I would have kept 1 tent for that but didn't think of it at the time.

 

[Fastass419]

I use a closet then I put a bathroom exhaust fans in then 1 of the doors I have vent in the bottom that way it draws air across the buds I just ordered that Myler for my grow room got 100' hope that will b enough

It's actually a little bigger than it says. It was about 51" wide & the roll was about 54' long. I ordered mine through Vivo Sun off EBAY.

 

[Fastass419]

Not sure how I'm going to put it up but I will figure something out

 

[Buds Buddy]

If not wanting to damage walls I'd use a staple gun. $10 at Walmart.

Don’t bury the flex. Running over head is great or down poles. If it’s liquid tight it’s great for wet area but will corrode if it has the metal liner. If it’s straight PVC without the metal, you can bury. I wouldn’t. Flex has to be secured every 24” when ran. PVC Conduit is cheap and shovels suck. Lmao. If you use the flex you will never get new wire in if you have an issue. Metal conduit that goes in the ground is called plasti bond and you want nothing to do with that.

Thanks; needed that info & it works out well for me. I found a 1" x 100' Roll of Liquid Tight for $80 I plan to get tomorrow now that I know I can use it. Not worried about fixing wiring later down the road as I'll probably sell this place in the next year.

Plants are looking great Buds! Nice new grow room as well.

I'm not getting the large buds I like on this girl.

I think I may have mentioned that it looked more sativa than indica when it went into flower, and sativas don't stack like indicas. That said, I'd say you have another three weeks on that one so there's plenty of time for it to bulk up.

 

[Havocsm1]

Plants looking nice. Nice looking colas. You trimmed them since I was last here for sure haha. Your grow rooms coming along nicely keep it up will be done in no time.

All those Washingtonian palms and mobile homes reminds me of Florida so much.

She does seem to be fattening up some now that she's drinking a gallon a day. I upped the MC on all 3 plants this morning by .3 grams. Not much because I'm scared ... LOL.

.3 grams adjustment. I love your accuracy. It is this that is going to allow you to succeed... you have excellent control over this situation. Carry on... I also like the sounds of all this water use and the plants are looking great!

Use to live in Orlando, Clear Water Beach & Daytona. It's similar in many ways. Just hotter here & a lot less Humidity.
I want to try a single DWC Bucket along with my 2 Auto-Pots next grow. I think I can just make one but need more info. I have a Bucket & Lid, 2 - Air Pumps & plenty of Hose. I also have Hydro Stones. I think all I need is to put a drain in the bucket, buy a net pot & Air Stone. I think that's all that's to it. Not sure how you refill the bucket though. By Hand, Reservoir, or what ?
