Rex's Perpetual Hydroponics, LED, 4x4 Tent Using TBC 10 Gal System: All Are Welcome, Come Learn & Help

[West Hippie]

Thanks DAB!
I appreciate it.
Whatever little slump I was in, it's passed. Big thank you to the 420 fam .

The stresses haven't changed much, but my attitude on them has.

A bit early for the Blackberry Auto, but the Gorilla Glue Auto and the Wappa Auto are close enough to say:

Chop time!

I'm just taking a quick smoke break.
I've started with the Blackberry.
I'm sorry I ever said or thought anything negative about her...cause her branches trimmed up are heavy (and gorgeous) AF. A few of her branches are the heaviest I've ever grown.
And like a sculpture coming from a plain rock, her beauty is truly undeniable to me.

Nice beer bottle buds , great work Rex . Congratulations and keep them coming.

WOW that looks great. Can't wait to see that trimmed up. Lots of color!

 

[Regrowth]

Congrats on the harvest, @Rexer.
Looks great and I bet it smokes even better.

 

[N420]

Congrats on the harvest Rex!
Those look like some beauty buds! Really like the purple coming through on those.

 

[Rexer]

Thank you everyone! I'll post a proper update after everything is finished up, with quotes and all.


Right now its Break time, then I'll get back at it.

I'm just trimming down to colas/branches. Then those will be hung inside the cabinet, and I'll use the cold air outside to drop the temperature down to 10C. The dehumidifier will be set for 72% (though I'm open for discussions on that, I've got some really thick colas).

The Wappa might be a record breaker for me. Plenty of super dense, frosty colas.

Congrats!! I would resist the urge to lower the RH more than that. If it were me, rather than do that I'd just try slightly increasing from whatever your normal is the amount of moving air in the space.

Thanks Jon,
Another break

Ambient room RH is 45%. Which is part of a major reason why I need to take advantage of the cool outdoor temps, and the fact it's an insulated cabinet. I'm hoping that the cooler temperatures will slow down the drying process (turn it into a big fridge).
Hopefully the dehumidifier won't even kick on much.
But as I type, I recognize the value of what you are saying and will instead go with 80% for the first night .

It's -3C outside tonight, so I'll have it set nice and really cold. I'll see how low I get can it (no colder than 3C).

Tomorrow I'll throw the Inkbird humidistat controller, and run the dehumidifier through it.

I'm almost done for tonight, just the Gorilla Glue Auto left to hang. But my body is done


This is the Wappa Auto hung.

And here's the Blackberry Auto added.

 

[Rexer]

wow lookin'!
nice work Rex

Can't wait to see the rest chopped, hahah

Thanks HPS! Theyre all hung up and in the process of a cold dry.

Congrats Mucker.
Well done.
Hope everything is going good.

Stay safe
Bill

Thanks Bill!
Things are going OK. Kinda sore AF right now , but it's nice to see the plants hung up.
Ho

Nice beer bottle buds , great work Rex . Congratulations and keep them coming.

Thanks West!
There's more there than I expected. Some serious density from the @NextLight 420h.

WOW that looks great. Can't wait to see that trimmed up. Lots of color!

All done for now. Until jar time that is

Congrats on the harvest, @Rexer.

Thanks Regrowth!
The scissor hash was very yummy!

Thanks N420! There was some beautiful colors on the BlackBerry, and the Gorilla Glue as well!

Nice one mate. Great harvest. I've been in a bit of a funk the last few weeks too. Always good when you get to the end of the tunnel and pull yourself back into the light.

Wow, what gorgeous hanging stalks of love. Great harvest. So you let them go at 80% for the first couple days? Then you gradually cut it back I guess?

Hey Vet
Thanks for dropping by, and for sharing. Yeah I don't know what came over me. I was very pessimistic, and just in a bad spot. I'm glad it's behind me, and with springs arrival, hopefully it signals the start of a new chapter.

There's one cola in there the size of my forearm, and I'm not a small guy

The dehumidifier never came on last night. I just popped the cabinet open, and they're sitting at 12C (53F) and 52% RH.
So they're drying, and if I keep the temps around there, it should be a 5 or 6 day dry hopefully (which I'm OK with).

Nice! And gotcha. Yeah I'm usually okay with five or six days, preferably six. When I get eight I get all excited. Lol.

Wait till you dial in a fridge dry. I've managed to get 10 day dries .
I'm hoping, and betting on the cold temps to help with terpene retention as well with the dry




Well here's the roots. And the plant frames.
The roots, while not bristle white, have/had a nice earthy smell to them. No slime present.

When do we get to see one plant in a huge tote?! I have a 30 gallon I can give you!

 

[DonkeyDick]

Good to see those full hangers

Once the grow rooms are built. One room will be something similar to a DIY version of a undercurrent, the other will have The Bucket Company setup.
I've still got to save up and buy a few more loads of lumber and insulation for it. And a door lol.

Good to see those full hangers

Thanks Donkey!
I totally agree



And as soon as their done drying, the cabinet will be used to get some clones started for the summer grows.

 

[InTheShed]

Damn I missed two harvests!

Incredible plants right side up and upside down, and the color on the BB is lovely. It turned out to be a damned fine grow by all standards...can't wait to see the weights!

Also, if you're not inclined, find someone to make those huge trunks into pipes:

Tutorial: Homemade Pipe Made From Your Plant Remains

After posting pictures of my pipe on THIS THREAD, there were several requests for a tutorial. So here is my attempt at that. There's a bunch of pics so hopefully I don't get anything out of order. Here's the original pipe, but in this tutorial I'll be making a new one from the start: First...

And like a sculpture coming from a plain rock, her beauty is truly undeniable to me.

Not only gorgeous colas, but a poet as well.

Hey Shed!
Tis all good brother

Thank you, & Same here for weights!
Im kinda pleasantly surprised how the dry is going so far.
Its been a few days now, with wamer temperatures than i wanted (15-17C in the cabinet). Average RH has been around 54% in the cabinet.
I took some nugs off a branch last night, after an hour in a jar the RH read at 88%. .

The thought crossed my mind. But I needed to bust them apart to get the buckets cleaned up (a drawback to a small net cup/hole).
And everything is now in the compost.

But if all goes as planned, my outdoor grows this summer should give much better pipe making materials

Not only gorgeous colas, but a poet as well.

Thank you Shed

 

[InTheShed]

And everything is now in the compost.

I doubt they've broken down yet.

Just cut the roots off and save the next 8" (measure using anything handy). Put the trunk in the garage to dry. You never know...
