Themaddabber's Hempy Bucket Bathtub Grow 2017

[TheMadDabber]

Are you going to duct tape that to the wall to hold it upright?

The light or the watering ring? . I don't think I will need to bust out the certified tape for this. But never say never. I'll have a better idea when the lights come on

The light or the watering ring?

The watering ring that was just above the post I posted where you posted the picture of the watering ring with no obvious means of support to hold up the funnel that would be feeding the watering ring only if it were held vertically which I assumed you would not be doing by hand?

 

[TheMadDabber]

It actually stands up without support. However I seriously doubt it will when water is being poured down the funnel. I have a good plan for securing it, but I will have to take a closer look here when the lights come on soon. I'm going to test it real quick now and configure the holes

Well folks here we are 45 days into veg for Gloria . A week ago she had just touched the screen and today she's trying to swallow it.... . (Even though pat didn't follow my journal I still feel obligated to leave the door open for his jokes even in his absence).

If any veteran growers can offer their opinion on how a "fast flower" effects stretch, or if it does at all, I would be extremely grateful. I can't figure out if they will stretch a lot just much faster, or less overall. But judging from the video I watched on this strain at the 420 website, there will be plenty of vertical growth.

Here is the watering ring ready for action. And yes shed you will notice I used "some" tape to hold the funnel I place.

Ok maybe a little more than "some". But shit for 4 dollars I'm super impressed with the results!

And now here is Abbie who is doing her Abbie thing. I will continue to train her around the edge of the bucket, and just before flip tie down all those lanky lower arms as I fear they are going to really go vertical.

She looks much better from the top than the side. .

And the update I know you all scroll straight to the end of the post for. The mini POTM to be..... Goldie!!!

I owe you one shed . That side light has helped her pack on a lot more buds . If I had some pollen. I would certianly sprinkle some on the 2 bottom nugs. She really frosts up beautifully .

BUT wait there's more...

Please welcome, (drum roll please) the newest addition to the tub of love! Yet to be named, she is another strawberry kush gal with firey genes and a knack for all things sweet .

Okay now we will take a brief moment to look ahead at possible flip dates....

2 weeks from today is November 7th. If flipped that day Gloria will be 59 maybe 60 days old. I will have to double check that one.

We should still be on track for super bowl harvest

Wishing everyone a wonderful day! And as always my your plants prosper and buds swell.

Great update! You will get enough off Goldie the SPOG to make it worth your while to see all the way through.

Every strain's stretch is different and every grow is different, but I was reading through my first journal and noticed that my first AK-47 auto (no training) started flowering at 9" tall and ended up at 24"!

Excellent use of tape BTW

Thanks shed! And great call again on the extra light for Goldie. It's made a very noticable difference since adding it! The clones still doing Okay? I'll be sure to swing by and check them out

Plants look awesome Dabber, Goldie is a frosty little girl for sure. It'll be neat to see the difference more light on her will make
Hope you're having a good morning

Thanks shorti! Morning is going well lights are on and the girls are doing their thing. Just mixing up their feed now. It's incredible how every time I rotate the plant the side towards the supplement light is bigger than the dark side. Really makes me want to consider a few side strips of LEDs. Maybe down the road though.

Hope your hump day is going well

Hello fellow friends and followers. Here we are yet another day closer to flip and reaping the rewards of many hours of hard work.

Today's update will be rather brief as there isn't much to share. In fact starting Friday picture updates will only be posted on watering days (every other day). I feel it makes new growth more evident . Of course after the flip daily picture updates are a must!

So here we have a group shot of the gals.

Gloria had 2 growth tips that were eligible for moving today. Seen in the upper right and upper left corner of this picture

Tomorrow may need 3 growths adjusted. I know they say scrog is a lot of work, but what's better than daily contact and interaction with such a beautiful plant?

Our newest and tiniest plant I have a special plan for training this one.

That's all for now. Happy humpday everyone. And as always my your plants prosper and buds swell.

Nice scrog work, which is probably more difficult if you have a loaded 4x8 tent The baby is adorbs!

Hey thabks furci! Haha. Nothing says remodel like some beautiful cannabis plants .

I still have a week until I can order the driver for the 2 QB 120s . Probably will be complete just in time to flip these gals! I can't wait to see them in action.

You'll know because I'll start bugging you with a bunch of questions.

 

[Furcifer]

That's all good!
If you didn't know. I'm using a masterbath addition on our pool house. During the summer I have to keep the plants confined to the 5×9 and 3×3 closet.
POOLS CLOSED!

Lmao. I didn't realize that. Bathroom growers unite! Those are great sized closets none the less. I don't think my entire bathroom measures 5 by 8. Which is fine I don't have the resources currently to light that large of a space anyways. Maybe one day . I can dream right? After I complete this grow I would love to fully utilize the 3 by almost 5 foot tub for flower, and a 2 by 3 veg area. Time will tell how realistic that is, haha.

 

[Furcifer]

Bathrooms are do convenient....FOR HYDRO!
Alien Male forced a change of plans.
Is your 5x8...A 5 foot tub. And 8 foot extends into the room.....So, this gives you a 5x5.5 with a toilet, sink and doorway placement.
DO YOU OWN OR RENT????

Rent. Otherwise I'd just build a lean to add on. I'd really have things poppin! Again one day . I measured an hour ago or so. Flower space will be 30" by 46" leaving me a veg space that is 18" (20" if I really squeeze) by 35".

I keep thinking about it and I may just run 2 cabs some autos in the smaller and photos in the tub. We shall see.

Hey! That's what I built (well, not a lean to but a bump on the back of the garage). When you finally build yours, you may call it a shed, but the user name is taken.

I'll stay them aka dabber aka dabstah aka the mad dabber for now . I haven't been much of any dabber except a sad dabber because it's been 6 months since I've had a big juicy hit of oil...

That ends next week! Arctic bowl hooked up a container of trim. And the wife said she can't handle the flower smoke any more and I could go get a oil rig and butane for the run .

Anywho I think it will be a little while before I can build my dream shed, shed. Haha see what I do there. It will likely extend off the garage near my work space also. All you need now is a pool table, mini bar, and couch with a coffee table full of meds and different ways to ingest them. Ahhh paradise
