Just a quick update on the status of the grow, with more to come in the next few days...
The results of the mold analysis came back and, while I don't have the formal report or an estimate, I do know it's not good and, part of the remediation will be "wiping down" the whole house. I don't yet know how long, if at all, I'll need to be out of the house, but (without getting into all the details!) I anticipate at least 4-5 days.
So, I've already begun removing all the equipment from the veg cabinet and resigned myself to the fact that it's going to need to be disassembled and trashed. I've definitely got my money's worth out of it, having vegged probably close to 200 plants, flowered a couple, and housed several mothers.
I know I'm not going to take the time and effort to build another one anytime soon, so, when everything is done, I'll probably move the current 5' flower tent in there and sacrifice the stealth I've enjoyed. I'll still have the closet doors, but you won't be seeing me fling them open in front of any contractors again!
Then, I'll upgrade to a taller flower tent.
As far as what's in veg, there are currently two rooted clones of the Blue OG, two UN-rooted Blue OG clones, and the two new seedlings (Cherry Bomb & White Widow). They're all young and the plan was to make ALL the currently rooted plants into Bonsai moms and flower the two currently UN-rooted Blue OG clones next while the moms are maturing.
If things are delayed long enough, I'll flower the first cuttings of the Cherry Bomb & White Widow instead of the Blue OG clones.
That being said, there are 4-6 plants (depending on whether the two UN-rooted clones take) I'll need to find a way to maintain and I do have a plan for that I believe will work fine (again, depending on how long I'll need to be out of my house!). I'm going to put their containers in a larger Sterilite bin that I'll cover with Burlap and place it outdoors, out of plain site.
As for the Blue OG in flower, I really can't do anything with her except harvest her. Especially being in that WaterFarm and 12/12 light schedule, there's just no place I can safely put her.
She's been under 12/12 for 56 days now, but still has at least a couple of weeks left (probably more!).
So, I'm probably going to stall this whole process another 2-3 weeks to let her finish. That sounds pretty easy, but, I've been without a kitchen (no sink, oven, dishwasher, microwave, cabinets - NOTHING!) for over a week now and getting tired of washing dishes in my bathtub!
Even if I wait two weeks and harvest a week or so early, it will be better than abandoning the grow now. I'll need to not only get her harvested, but also let her dry enough that I can get the buds into at least paper bags, if not jars, and move them to a secure location.
So, that's the plan for now. I should find out in the next few days how long I'll need to be gone and hoping the plan will hold up!
