Themaddabber's Hempy Bucket Bathtub Grow 2017

Morning Chris!

Lol an hour before the draft?! Well you did pretty well I would say... yes I feel they are a VERY worth while investment even if it's just for lights and to charge cell phones.

Well I've started construction on my final QB build!!! No more fiddling with trying to hang a light and driver separate. The frame is an H shape with 2 cross supports. One driver mounted to each piece of aluminum.

I will cut 5 strips of the U-channel and spread them across the top where the diodes are densely clustered to allow heat to disperse more readily.

Hope to add 1 to 2 more of these lights when funds permit. Also I was talking to growmau5 on IG. He has new disc lights that are 3500k and 660 nm (? Far red) runs up to 100 watts and fits the pinned heatsinks that cobs do. They are still on development but at 50 a disc I may have to try a couple to supplement between the 3 sets of boards.

Plants are all vegging in the tub. I will get them transplanted in the next day or 2, Trainned out, Neemed, and flipped when the snow is predicted to slow down...

Hope all is well everyone! Busy man today, but hooe you all have a wondeful valentines day! Great your special someone right because you never know when the big man upstairs may call your number. Until later may your plants prosper and buds swell.

Well yes and no. Pretty sure I had a few thripes survive on either a clone or IVY when she was still with the girls that finished....

Regardless my flower time was pushed back after I noticed them last time so the plan is to make sure any possible critters are 100% dead. I'll spray once or twice before flip, then again 2 or 3 times after flip during stretch.

There is no extensive bug damage but enough to warrant a precatiounary soaking.


Here's how I apply. Whatever the max dose is I give it. Generously. I mix up in a solo sprayer, and soak every leaf under and above. Stems and stalks. Containers and soil. Walls and floor. Everywhere but the lights.... I'm just not a repeat your mistake person. So if I can put them down for the count I will do all I can .

Yup! Still fighting!!!!! 6 months running. Bomb after bomb spray after spray. I just went organic by flooding everything with ladybugs. Best results I've seen yet. I usually get rid of them and continue to spray but I still have patches pop up. I stopped spraying now just dump ladybugs if I get a spot pop up. So far so good. So less often and the spots are so small the ladybugs wipe them out in no time.

With regards to generators. Yeah they rule the world dude. We have 2 Honda 1000's, a 2000, a companion 2000, and a 3500. Plus a few old models. We have a ton of camps. Lol power anywhere. Lol. In the past I've also taken 4 batteries and wired them to remain 12 volt rather than 24 and got an inverter so I could plug cords into it. I left it in the woods for 2 weeks while we were working and made a little hut for my son. He sat in there and played PlayStation the whole time. I never charged it. 2-3 hours at a time. Tiny led tv.

Does neem oil work for them too? I know mites they do .

Also heard unscented dish soap in a sprayer bottle 1/4 mix ratio. Spray before lights out heavy under all those leafs til dripping g make sure of two weeks before harvest you stop using neem oil in same method 1/4 ratio .

Yep I also use a mix of isopropyl alc and water in a pinch. 1 to 4. Then add 5 drops of dawn into the solo sprayer mix and spray.

I never spray after bud development starts, personally. That's why I feel a proper pre flip soak and treatment through stretch is essential.

Unfortunately the weigh in will have to wait until tomorrow. Between Valentine's day, a sick child, and multiple power outages a day, it has been far more hectic than anticipated. I was unable to get either the scale or butane yesterday. However, the wife commented on how she can't wait for me to have dabs to smoke because she hates the smell of flowers. I mentioned just needing to pick up some tane on Friday and she agreed. So tomorrow we will do the big weigh. Assuming the weather cooperates. Power has been out 3 times in the last 12 hours alone and 5 days in a row....

The uncented undyed dishsoap works great on fungus gnats! You can add like teaspoon per gallon when you water and soak your soil with it and use as a foliar both work great.

Great call sofa! Also a medium treatment of h202 and water mixed 1 to 5 Will kill larvae in the medium. But also any beneficial organisms, so the need be re applied.

I also advocate for fly traps and or vasaline on the stalk to catch the mature flys before they can lay more eggs.

Good day Mr Jack!

No. Sorry. Still no scale. I'll get one tomorrow and HOPEFULLY have the results up by 4:20 pm my time.

But for now..... we wait! I'm guessing somewhere near 3/4 pound. Originally I was with rooster about his half pound guess, but some of these nugs are small boulders, and there's a lot of them. Anything Over. Half pound will make me VERY happy and proud, and just that much more so the closer to 3/4 I get. If I clear 3/4 I will be blown away :jawdropper:

Okay..... It's time!!! I wasn't sure I wanted to play the guess the weight game, but I changed my mind ..

Any takers on total dry weight? I didn't do the deceptive "wet weight" as I don't buy into it....

And to make things fun, I will offer a secret prize to the closest guess. So let's here some outrageous predictions anddddd go!

We are getting ready to weigh in the final numbers (hopefully) tomorrow. There is a "small" prize involved so feel free to guess!

Regardless you should stop in and guess a weight. Just for funnsies
