Tead's Indoor-ish, Winter, Hempy, OGK, SOG

[Radogast]

It's a dance Rad. What is pictured represents 14 pots roughly spaced evenly in age from less than one week in bloom to making my fingers itchy. I could squeeze and fit more, but I feel the overall production would suffer. A sharp eye will notice older plants center mass with ages decreasing as one moves towards the walls with the youngest being in the corners. Each individual plant is rotated in a way to take advantage of the light and fit well with it's neighbors. Every watering brings a renewal of the arrangement as I take all the plants out of the room when watering.
I've often seen touching leaves develop water where they overlap and touch. Water on the leaves can be bad juju in such a humid world.

It felt like Dejavu, but then I searched your thread for the word 'dance' - and found this entry some 100 pages back

86.... pishah. amateur. Come dance in the 90s with me and my outdoor shed.

I think the bloom room photo may be a bit misleading. Perhaps the angle I had to take it from. When one looks down, one finds things quite spacious with plant positions really optimized (like a damn puzzle!) to provide light at all levels without blocking. It's a bit of a tricky dance when I water and then fit everything back in, but it's quite roomy and I would need 2 more plants to officially call it 'squeezed'. I put new plants to the outside as they shift from veg to bloom, and they work their way to the center as the mature.
All in all, everything has a very natural flow to it with individual parts working with each other in a timing dance that really has settled nicely into a 'rut'... a rut that produces 1 harvest/wk with some bonus ones.

There's a Futurama reference in there.... but it probably speaks better of you if you don't recognize that one.

I was curious myself. I've always been a fan of the dance metaphor.

69.... awesome bonus porn references!


That rut I was chatting about has been deepening. The baggie clones were a cute diversion. The PVC is nice, but hardly new. The new lights have been fun. The shed redesign is ongoing fun. All in all tho, it's feeling a bit boring. I mean, boring is good and all, but it's still boring.
Fuck!
Have I made my garden too lazy?!?!?

Look'n good Tead, looks like you have your girls in fine shape. Training my replacement and plan to head home by the end of next week. I have a little produce I want to share with you if I can get by the Big Easy on my way outta here. I'll give you a heads up if I can work it out. Roster 1 strolling a few gardens this AM

Fuck something up, then spend a couple days trying to unfuck it up. Sounds counter productive, but least it breaks up the boredom and monotony.

Oh Awesome! You know the way! The local pallet is full and colorful. We'll get snobby and compare and contrast.

There are some monsters in my closets clawing at the doors. I'm sure one will be along soon enough.

EEEEK! That aint good. We had that weather yesterday. I was out hand packing blacktop in it. My sweat was like mace in my eyes. My bloom went up to 97° last night. Let's hope your heatwave is short!

Not really a heatwave... just summer settling in. Blacktop in the summer heat?!?! Oh nonono... avoiding such things is how I survive the summers!

Have you met my little garden Muse? I call her "Betty"... because we called all hot girlies "Betties" in the days of my youth.

She strips down depending on the weather. We rarely see her clothed. The upper temp is the veg room and the lower RH and temp are the bloom room. She has things well in hand... well.... her and the AC.

My friend in Phoenix tells me they'll be at 117 F by Tuesday. Whew! Hard to imagine living there all summer. Don't ask me why NOLA appeals to me. Lol! Must have something to do with being in the same area as you and Juan Carlos. My friends think I'm nuts. Haha!

We feel like 93, according to the forecasters. But the humidity's only 53% with dew point at 68. Nothing like yours.

I've been quietly chuckling at your AC woes.... as I often do when folks complain about heat.
Life in shorts and sandals baby!

I was off meditating in temples when futurama came out - never got into the 'whacky' cartoon network type shows.

I prefer good movies and Tv series with supernatural monsters.

Gratuitous porn is mother nature's way of telling us she understands what it is to be a guy.

Lazy garden is perfect. When I feel restless, I like to spend a little time tromping in the forests (swamps?) or sitting on a rock, smoking a bowl, and watching the river flow past.

Watching the birds nd animals is always fun for me. ( I enjoy simple things )

I was working with extremely talented 3D artists at the time. My waters were filled with Futurama figurines and words during that time. You can well imagine a large office full of 50 3D animators and the love they expressed for anything new in the animation world. Hell.... some of them were responsible for creating some of it. Their infectious love spread to most other members of the organization... myself included.

As for the boring bit... I think I just need a house to work on. We stretched our finances a bit thin on the last purchase (cash baby!) and we're waiting for the numbers to settle back down before we take a bite of the next one. Getting there quick tho.... maybe just a month or three.
I dunno man... it's feeling empty all around. Perhaps a moment with the Mighty Mississippi and a bowl will bring me back to center.

A little study in twin Blue Dream clones this morning fed with a 5g and 6g / 2L mix. Grown side by side with all other variables the same for both... even made sure to feed them both from the same watering jug tho I generally mix 4 jugs for a watering.

The girls together.... 6g left, 5g right

A closer view of the two

The top bud of 6g

The top bud of 5g

The 5g plant is taller, but the 6g plant is significantly denser. The trichs on both are starting to scream, but more so on the 6g.
I'm gonna cut the 6g today and let the 5g cook.
Next set of BD clones will be a 6g/7g grow.

What does "g" mean in 5g, 6g, 7g?

OK..... that made me really glad I started with 6g. I'll have to drop some reps for that demonstration.

He's talking about grams of Osmocote Plus scattered through the perlite.

Me too. I was slightly worried about your 6g load. Of course, we must keep in mind the varying needs of different plants.... but you get the idea.

She's spot on there Sky... grams of Osmocote+ per 2L growing container.

Since the genetics are visitors, they get some extra photographic love.

The plant after major fan leaf removal.

Some looks at the root mass

After knocking most of the perlite out of the root mass

Great looking roots. A touch crowded, but that's the norm in a 2L world.
I was going to stuff her whole into my dry box, a standard copy paper box with a wire rack hanging, but it didn't near fit... had to cut her in 1/2.

I think the vinegar bottles I use are slightly bigger than 2 ltr. I may need to bump up to 8g.

Question: my Carnival has struggled with mag deficiency, but I've been mixing the Cali-Magic per manufacturer recommendation. Is it safe to increase that nutrient dose, and if so, within what limitations? I've considered that Epsom foliars might be the best way to counter that, and I can keep them up indefinately. I don't believe daily foliars would have any negative effects, would they?

Will the yellowish leaves take on more green with foliars?
