SweetSue's Perpetual 2.0 - The Transition To Doc Bud's HBB Kit

I don't know if I buy that explaination, as feel good as it may be. It seems unlikely to me that the transport system for bringing nutrients into the cells would suddenly reverse its pathways during hours of darkness.

Uhh... No. At least not as described. The roots do excrete certain things, but that is a waste-product disposal. It's not like the plant empties out its nutrient stores when its world goes dark each "night." That would be... Well, that'd be a horribly inefficient use of its energy, to begin with. Extending the dark period to (IMHO) nonsensical lengths isn't going to change the basic behavior of the physiological structures of the organism. What it does do is create a time when the plant is receiving NO energy, yet the buds are not harvested and drying.

Now, the terpene... The olfactory perception of the terpene profile might change, because the light is not running for hours each day - so they might not volatize at the same rates.

Something doesn't fit right inside my brain. :straightface:

Don't tell anybody, lol. They'll glue electrodes to your noggin and make you lie down for what seems like a really long time - what with the electrodes glued to your head and all. But you do get a nice long bit of techno-crude artwork to take home and hang across a wall or two. Or... so I have read.

It's more likely a survival response. "Someone killed the sun! Here I am! Find me!! I'll make more scent to help you."

Hmm... Possible, I suppose. IDK if there would be any kind of evolved... If a mutation produced that sort of thing, it wouldn't have given any advantage to the organism - so probably wouldn't have been passed on in any appreciable percentage of the population. OtOH, a mutation that caused a marked increase in terpenes that attracted animals (and, perhaps, increased their appetite) when a certain amount of seeds became mature might be considered to be a positive mutation, because it'd tend to ensure that the plants' seeds got distributed throughout the area. This is helpful for a number of reasons in nature. I would expect that kind of mutation to be passed on.

They're huge!!! :laughtwo:

I had that happen, and it went from "Oh wow!" to "Oh <BLEEP>!!!" real quick. I hope you don't run out of room before the end of the stretch.

It appears this tent has always been 12/12, so my revegging Carnival tops remain a mystery.

Light leak?

It's crazy how much work getting the timers synchronized can be when you're working with four of them. Lol! I may simply leave it as it is.

You could set everything up on one of those ridiculously cheap computer boards - Raspberry Pi (or the like) or an arduino. IIRC, there are timer devices, temperature sensors (shut down the lights if there is an extreme high temperature event, maybe kick on an electric heater if it gets too low), there should be some kind of water sensor available, I'd think, which might send the gardener an alarm if a nutrient tank fails, et cetera. I'm guessing that you could access these things via your iPad, and probably have some kind of log for the various data - which could be handy for some people. The hardware is going to cost money, of course, but it's not all that expensive (or didn't seem to be, last time I window shopped, IIRC). The software ought to be free (the Raspberry Pi runs linux, so 25,000+ free apps, lol?). But it'd be more a convenience feature than something a person needs. I've read of people setting up auto-feeding and pH-adjustment stuff for hydroponics, though, which could be useful if the gardener is away from the grow for days at a time.

I've been invited to a Japanese steak and sushi restaurant this evening, a thank you from the couple I supply pain cream to.

Oh the many ways I can find to be distracted on my way to breakfast, which is fast looking more like a lunch date. Lol!

We know what this means, don't we HB crew? Lackluster color, drooping canopy, just a couple days from being drenched.....

Yep, root bound and screaming for more root space.

A five gallon pot is all I have room for at the moment, so that's what she got.

IMG_99452.JPG


Hmmmm..... The Devil's Carnival started in a pot just this size. Keep an eye on this one gal. She got thoroughly drenched with TransWater and popped back onto the shelf.

IMG_99553.JPG


You know Tead, these hempy girls are growing much larger than I anticipated. :laughtwo: it's becoming a challenge to keep up with them.

IMG_99565.JPG


I topped Devil's Carnival 1.1 while I was in there.

IMG_99527.JPG


She's already showing signs of repeating her mother's size.

IMG_99533.JPG


There's movement from the Industrial Plant seed. :yahoo: I'm gonna be really excited if germinating ends up being this easy to do. :slide:

IMG_99542.JPG


Ok, food woman!

:ciao:
 
Put up a 5gal girl. She'll run you out of house and home. I've been shocked over the years at the output possible from a tiny 2L.
Ya..my 3gal girls may get super crop soon, they are already way close to my lights

Kids I tell ya...lol

I've been thinking I'll try one someday, but one of the best features of working this size is the ease of maintenance. It'd be significantly more difficult to haul around a tree in a 5-gal pot. Lol! We're all about lazy, remember? The potential calls to me. How long can I fend off the temptation? :laughtwo:

Ahhh..... breakfast felt just right. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
I did do the 48 hour thing before this harvest to see if I noticed any difference. I can't say I did, but it sure didn't do any harm. I heard the plants are building sugars like crazy in the dark. Some survival response. I don't believe that reversal shit either. It sounds like superstitious wishful thinking crap

Careful what you wish for Sue. Sometimes the big bottom girls get a little too big.
I will grant you, though, there is not much effort in moving them. You can't. Lol.

Cheers.

Oh ditchweed...have a look,at low stores bending for plants. See the cola tops? Well.if you,bend the stalk , slowly ,regular till it's at 45 angle, the body will,sprout new tops, more colas, some foot,print. -la3we check it out...

It's alol here and growing... so all it needs is catalogued and then only incremental changes as knowledges grows. But ..it is fun to read several hindered pages per group thread............

So I'd like to start a thread. Seed bank try me seed in your region..
How to get seeds that are not 20,bucks a seed? Is that covered?

PM me. I may be able to help you with that. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
:yahoo: IT WORKED!!! :yahoo:

Meet Industrial Plant. My last seed out of five, four of which never came up.

Welcome little one :Love:

IMG_99614.JPG


That was rediculously easy to do. :cheesygrinsmiley: I'll leave her under the dome for tonight.

IMG_99622.JPG
 
Did you sprout it in 100% perlite?

Yes I did GrowCity420. :cheesygrinsmiley: Mighty proud of not panicking. :laughtwo: It was my last Industrial Plant seed, and I wanted so badly to use a Rapid Rooter plug, but I wanted to see if I could eliminate that cost too.

What a relief. It worked just like Tead said it would. Lol!
 
Good morning everyone :Love:

Look, isn't she the cutest little thing?

IMG_99664.JPG


It tickles me how excited I get to see new seeds sprout. :laughtwo:

Oh, a diva among the crew. Lol!

IMG_99672.JPG


She didn't take kindly to the transplant and drench. Not something I typically see happen in my garden. TS speculated it might be soil too rich for the seed. :laughtwo: He may be right there. She's from the Jamaican soils, and although my soil is mineralized along the same lines it may be a touch rich for her heritage.

I have faith in her ability to adapt, as her predecessors have all done. Cannabis is one of the most adaptable plant species around.

Alrighty then.... another day to fill up with wonder. I giggled my way out of bed this morning. Remember that little affirmation I shared a few days back?

I'm so grateful and so thankful, and I love how much money I have in my life." :slide:

Well, within 24 of starting that mental loop I had $50 drop into my lap. Then yesterday I had a friend take me out for coffee and doughnuts and then pay for my latest haircut, just because she could see it was time and my deposit doesn't hit the bank until Wednesday.

Last night other friends treated me to dinner out at a local restaurant I hadn't been to in over 5 years.

I'd say this affirmation is powerful stuff, and I intend to keep up its inclusion in my day. I have cards expressing it taped on my walls all through the apartment. I'm going to create a funding stream that allows me to travel freely and at my whim. Because I believe I can have everything my heart desires, and traveling without a care is one of those primary things I desire. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Find a desire in your own heart and latch onto the belief that it already is. Tack this affirmation onto the tail of those desires and watch cosmic magic astound you in its efficiency. It's not really magic. It's cosmic laws in play. It's not that the laws of the universe work with you or against you, it's just that they act, and they do it with consistency. Many of us have simply forgotten how they work. I'm finding it great fun to explore ways to attune my life better to those laws.

It's a big part of why I'm so happy these days, and why I keep trying to drag some of you willing to take chances and live bigger along with me. :laughtwo: Life is meant to feel good. It's meant to be fun. Making it fun is your job. It's more fun when you share your joyful nature with the world, so be bold today and advance the influence of gratitude and joy another step out in our expanding universe.

I'm already out here on the edge. Come play. :ciao:
 
Think I'm going for 100% perlite in hydro next run. Thinking of doing a sea of green with 32 plants

Sweet DeVille. How large are you thinking on containers?

I'll be honest, I mixed up the drench schedules for one of the soil girls, setting her CAT drench back about 5-10 days, and immediately thought "I need to shift the entire garden to hempy!" :laughtwo: I used to consider Doc's kit the easiest way to grow. These hempy pots and the RX line are proving me wrong. Lol!
 
"Mostly cloudy, with a chance of harvest this week."

At 138 days from seed, 79 of them in bloom, she's ready. I'll flush tomorrow and harvest Wednesday or Thursday.

Thinking of purchasing this system. It contains 32 12 liter pots. That should allow me to maximize my main grow-space. 32 clones in a sea of green system, max 2-3 weeks of vegg then flip to 12/12.

This is the system I'm considering - Will fit perfectly in my room
