Rifleman's Roost Open 24/7: Perpetually Perplexed

[Blazinjones]

What a coinky-dink Sue. I just finished with the tent chores and am going to spark my first one of the day. Yep, I'm running late. There was a lot to do this morning.

Final dry weight of the MBAP is in: AN pulled 257g, and Remo was 248g. A total of 505g dry, and I mean dry. Dry like bleached bones. It crumbles when I touch it dry. It won't taste worth a crap, but it'll keep me going for a while... AND I won't have to use my grinder.

The two year old mystery beans from Sweet Seeds all cracked within 24 hours, and are now in netpots as I await their arrival. They will be named "MX 1-4" Hopefully we'll see sprouts by Tuesday.

That's my Sunday. What is everyone else doing ?

Shit i have some remo girls going right now and if I wouldn't have been gifted with some a.n ph perfect nutes i would have stayed with remo nutes cause they work for sure i jus dnt like having to ph balance lol and in my hempy grow when I didn't ph the remo nutes the uh burned way way bad so maybe if I did soil or sumthn i wudnt need to ph remo nutes but as of right now i got 3 girls in the flower tent using remo nutes and they r doing great i hope i can get some numbers like urs or atleast close to it lol

Hey y'all. Dropping in on a cold Monday morning to say Hey ! The sun is rising, my coffee and fire are both warm, and life doesn't get much better. Unless you're retired with nothing to do.

Oh how I dream of those days. I haven't been around as much lately as I'd like, but my second hobby has turned into a full time job. It's money in the bank, but I sure as heck don't have my free time anymore. On a more business like note though, if you're selling antiques... don't call me, I have enough.

Now on to the weed update. The last two Stiltons are still standing, 10 to 14 days more I expect. The Sweet Seeds mystery plants are all up and pushing out 2nd node growth, except for #4 which just popped up this morning. And the two DDA are kicking it in the perlite hempy, never watered since the day they were planted.

I'll try to get some photos up later, but now I'm headed out the door to another estate sale. Peace Out Family.

 

[Rifleman]

Way back 84 days or so ago I planted a DDA seed in 7 gallons of perlite and ignored it. A couple of weeks ago I transplanted another DDA from a solo cup into the perlite next to the other one... nothing since. Truly a lazy growers dream but I can't say much for the harvest.

 

[Rifleman]

Grabbed some photos of the remaining Stilton Specials when the lights went out tonight. I figured y'all might enjoy a little look.

Looks like a Blizzard hit those buds

Winter Wonderland!

Well, it has been down in the single digits. They only thing not frozen are my pipes.

I don't know if I should give credit for the frost to the lights or the genetics. Either way I'm not complaining. I'll know more in 90 days when I finish the DDA under the COBs. Friday is looking like a harvest day for the large Stilton, maybe the other too. IDK. Once the 4x4 is empty it'll get a cleaning and the old HPS. The COBs will go to the large tent and double up, 2 per plant. Yeah, I may need a welders hood.



Edit: Grown using m,g,b only. No other additives from AN.

 

[Rifleman]

Chop chop chop ! With wickedly fast fingers, which only got sniped twice :icon_roll, I harvested the remaining Stiltons today. 581 and 417 grams wet. That's a total of 1112g wet from three plants, under three lights, pulling about 1.5 amps total for the lights, in 87 days.

The 4x4 has been cleaned. The COBs are now in the large tent, 2 lights per plant. The HPS in the Raptor hood has replaced them in the 4x4. The small tent now has 1K watt capability. I'll probably run it at 650w due to the heat and lower head room.

So what am I going to grow now ? Four more mystery beans from Sweet Seeds. Already down for germination. Count 'em folks, eight total unknowns. This will be a true test of my abilities in observation, note taking, and plant reading. To make it as simple as possible I'll be running Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect m,g,& b only this time. The Remo will be sitting this one out. So sit back, pass the bong, and I'll get back with you when we have something cool to show you.

Why do you guys insist that there be "something worth looking at"? To the obsessive cannabis cultivator the minutiae is interesting.

Congrats on the chop. Use a topical on those cuts.

I smoke outside... my bongwater froze... SSDC thru a pipe... mighty nice.

Minutiae can be had in photos as well. How many times have we chatted about this bit or that bit in a photo rather than the featured plant?
But I'm with ya... photos are nice but usually just serve entertainment purposes unless a grower is having problems.

Hey Sue, I used a scissor hash paste on the cuts. I'll just have to smoke away the bruises from the beating you gave me with the rep hammer though. Thank you.

I could post photos everyday, same as I take them, but I don't want to appear attention deficient. Seriously I think people would block me if I posted every photo and thought. I'm verbose, especially when high.

You don't know how tempted I was to drop four SSDC instead of the Sweet Seeds mix. Under the HPS that's a guaranteed 450g dry, up to 700g plus, if given attention. Yep, tempted.

Problems ? Heaven forbid !

Well then, in the spirit of sharing, here ya go. This is what the large tent looks like today.

I am very jealous of your space. Im fighting with this tiny 3x2 space right now and looking forward to the day when i can get the big tent (4x2lol) out again.
I like them there lights too man. I love my dwarf star but im really liking some of these other setups too. Quantum boards are pretty spiffy. How much do your lights run, wattage wise?

You and me both baby!
After years and years of staring at his room and many others, I've learned to be one with my grow space jealousy.
My wife and I have a few rental properties across the city. Some day, some strange situation will occur and allow me to use some of that indoor space. Some day. On that day, I'll be sure to rub Rifleman's nose into it.

Hi Rifle! Looks very nice in here as always.

Did you say something about antiques?

They are a thrifty 55w and pulling about 0.5 amps each.

Awwww, It's not all fun and games having this much room guys. Light gets lost around the edges. Plants tend to spread more which means a ceiling full of yoyo hangers. Hell fire 'fore long the plants have taken over, start creeping out at night raiding the fridge, drinking the CEO's beer, buying dirty movies in the middle of the night. Scary it gets, aint kidding. But choking four into the 4x4 controls the spread and keeps them from roaming the halls.

Thanks Grandpa. Yeah old stuff. I figured I was one so I might as well piddle with them. Accidentally. There's a vendor mall in town that charges the same as my storage building did. Wiggle wiggle, waggle waggle, now my junk is inside climate controlled and priced. Talked to a few guys there and suddenly I'm going to estate sales on the last day buying stuff dirt cheap and stocking my shelves. I've paid rent and made money ever since. If I could add four hours to the day I'd rent another booth.

 

[Grandpa Tokin]

Awesome! I like how you think.

 

[Rifleman]

Another first in my garden. I've had one sprout with cotyledon leaves and nothing else. No first node coming out, just a whitish dot between the cotyledons and it's finishing up day 2. If it doesn't have leaves by tomorrow I toss a photo up for y'all to laugh at, AND drop another bean to replace it.

 

[Rifleman]

She has had her head up about 60 hours now. The photos aren't good, but hopefully the processing didn't degrade the image so much you can't see. It appeared as best as I could tell, that there was a piece of something holding the two sides together, keeping the leaves from emerging. Heck if I know. I did gently scrape at the white spot in the center, and it did come off, but I'm not sure there will be any leaves pop out. A limbless mutant maybe? If I don't see leaves in a day or two I'll pull her and just run with three plants under the 600w hps. Not nearly as crowded that way.

I included a shot of my 11.75" 94 day DDA, and her sister a 39 day old DDA that's getting CS sprayed. Notice the center flower in the back has started wilting, day 8 of spraying. If I'm going to have eight different Sweet Seeds strains going I might as well impregnate them with some dark devil fem pollen. Side note to the devils, neither has been watered since the day they were put into the hempy.
