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

[Verbalist]

Hi Rex!

Things looking stellar here
GG became lil stretchy but obv when those buds connect together it will most likely reward you with a nice yield!

I love the blackberry I wanna try BBK again but in DWC

 

[Rexer]

It’s filling up in there Rex! Gonna be a nice haul when it’s all said and done!
It’s gonna be the best corn weed you’ve ever had!

Thanks N420, I'll have to make some corn hash salads with some of the kief

Nice work @Rexer

Hi @Dank777 thank you, and welcome to my perpetual journal!

Thanks Verbalist! That GG did get away from me a bit, no matter how much I pinched, bent, and snipped! But she's slowly coming around, and I'm looking forward to trying some finally!

The Blackberry? Oh yeah they're something special, and im already looking forward to regrowing one.

Unfortunately her (the blackberry) deficiency really came screaming fast. I raised the cal-mag, and gave a small tiny bump of powdered Koolbloom. Today it doesn't seem to be progressing.
She smells of a lemon Berry scent...just yummy



Day 52


Cabinet temp: 25C avg
Cabinet RH%: 35~40%
Previous PPM: 561
Current PPM: 570
Adjusted PPM to: 570
PH: 5.8
Res temps: 18.6C
Water level: average of 6-7L/day down


Hey folks! Hope everyone had a great weekend! The girls are growing up fast!


So, let's start with the Blackberry being the most noticeable change. She did have a deficiency. The last batch of nutrients I had lowered the cal mag slightly, and raised my Bloom. Wrong call .
I've since upped the cal mag, added a bit of Powdered Koolbloom, and a bit of Epsom salts. The damage hasn't progressed today, so I'll keep an eye and make any other adjustments as they pop up. But she seems to be happier today.

The Wappa, she's starting to really bulk up. Her colas are getting rather thick. And while not visible to my eyes, a bit of purple is starting to show.

Gorilla Glue Auto Day 52

I was starting to get some heat issues, so i hooked up an active intake to a vent pulling cold winter air in when the Inkbird kicks on (temperature controller). Which should also help bring some nice colors out (colors are not a priority, just a happy side bonus).

I've also sprung a leak! Yup, it wouldn't be a Rexer grow without flooding of some sort. It's not too bad, and the oversized dehumidifier is keeping it down, and I'm just shop vacuuming it up. I'm not messing around with the bulkheads, as it might fix it, or make it worse. As it is, I'll just push through.

Selas is a girl! I'm quite positive, as she's starting to show sex. Mind you, she is my first Photoperiod, first regular bean, and first soil plant.

Looking good but for the calcium spots! And definitely too early to call the sex on Selas.

Thanks Shed!
Oh well, patience is something I have plenty of!
And I wasn't sure if I was looking at a magnesium or calcium deficiency at first.

 

[InTheShed]

Magnesium usually starts with pale between the veins and calcium goes straight to the burned brown spots.

Looks awesome in there Rex . I had the same problem on Penny . With the old short on calmag mc showed up . My ph has been riding up into the high 6.4-6.5 I expect this was my problem!

 

[DutchinAB]

Rexer! Been a while but I’m slowly making my rounds around to everyone again. Glad to see your still at it, and looks like I’m right in time to see you take these girls over the finish line.

Thanks West!
If any finish near what I expect of Penny- prepare for me to do a backflip.
So far, the PH has been more stable then any of my previous grows.

DAB! Great to see you back on! Been a minute or two, I hope you’ve been doing well!
Yeah I expected this grow to be ugly. More because I thought I'd have a harder time height wise. Not from me dropping the ball .

 

[N420]

Lookin good Rex! The buds are starting to get thicker, and really liking the bit of purple showing up with Wappa.

The photo’s are progressing nicely! Even one lady is great but I have a feeling you will have 2!

It was quite a surprise when I saw that touch of purple on the Wappa.
She's in the back corner and it's hard to see/work on her, so when I clicked that photo, and zoomed in....I was quite surprised!

If I get two males I'll see about ordering some clones. I got a new LP, and they offer clones, so that's the backup plan. Though I may order some anyways, they have a strain right now that really intrigues me. Legendary Larry. But hopefully your right, and their both females, as I'd love to try that Romulan x Big Smoothie.
We'll see

Today is just a root porn update since I had forgotten to take the photos last update.

I hope you’ve been doing well!

Thanks for the warm welcome back! We have been getting by, not much to report, so no news is good news, right? Just been enjoying catching up on some journals, and gratuitous root shots are such a bonus! Keep it up, Rex.

 

[Verbalist]

show.

This looks like a Calcium def also! Tip burnt/dead on newest growth/meristems! Very odd, but if you check back, my BBK also had a bad Ca def during the flowering.. I think the strain consumes shit loads of Ca when flowering.

Otherwise your garden looks great and the cabinets getting crowded

How do you like the LED? I really want to get that sun in my new tent!!

Thanks Verbalist! They're chewing through the calcium at 200PPM of calimagic now like nothing. I'll be upping that again shortly.

You will absolutely love the @NextLight 420h. The growth under it is incredible, and it's dimmer is like magic.

I was bored today. Here's a gif for viewing pleasure. Have a great day everyone!

I love the gif! Wow, your space looks like an enclosed version of Stunger's balcony. Lol. Nice bored work, I do that stuff all the time.

I agree with Verbalist, btw. Especially on the burnt tips. You know that dimmer you love so much (it is a sweet dimmer!)?

LOL! They start off so innocent and small and by the end they look like they're about to devour the camera.

But seriously nice work.

Yeah, I had turned the dimmer down for a bit. But now that I've hooked up an active intake from the frigid outside, I've cranked it back up to 100%

If they don't show signs of bleaching- I'll keep it that way and try to continously up the feedings as they need

Ahh thanks Bill, it's surprisingly simple. And I actually don't own a computer- only my smartphone . I really should buy a computer sometime soon, it's been quite sometime since owning one myself believe it or not... (I do steal borrow Mrs.Rex's laptop the rare occasion).

And I've seen your photos , mines a trick of technology- your's falls more into art

Love the gif! And garden is looking good brother

PS. Today got the shipment, fedex brought me the 420h led!

Hopefully I manage to stock up most of the things during the weekend for the new fresh start! Photos, hempys, autpots and finally a bigger tent!

Current auto tent mix still not progressing too well.. But feelin a lot more motiavted again.

Ahh thanks Bill, it's surprisingly simple. And I actually don't own a computer- only my smartphone .

And I might borrow your tent cam idea also! Would be cool to check every week progress on timelapse.

Have a nice weekend Rexer!

I think my smart phone must have oldtimers or something.
I asked it to do a time lapse and it showed me my baby pic with a laughing emoji.
It's the only phone I've ever seen that has trouble telling time.
Seriously can't keep the correct time.
It's usually within 10 minutes give or take, just old I guess.
As usual my friend I'm amazed at your capabilities.

Stay safe
