Trala’s Tent

[DeeBoy]

Omg so 2 things.

1. I am looking at myself in a hairdressers cape with a colour cooking and I’m seriously wondering if I’ve always been this fucking hideous

And

2. My grow style has actually gotten worse in the last year, not better. And I think I know why.

Proof I’m regressing not progressing.

I started thinking about previous yields, as I seem to average 3oz per plant now. So I think I know why. In fact I think I was told why but I didn’t listen. My lights are too far from my plants! I’m growing these huge plants that only yield 3-4oz. I looked at a drying Simba today and I’ll be lucky to get 3 1/2 ounces. The only changes I’ve made are nutes and light positioning.

I think I’ll be lucky to get 3oz off that huge Zkittles Olivia, who was 3 times the size of Carcasses girl. While I’m defs not about yield, I’m not getting the most out of my plants.

I’m going to make changes going forward.

A lot of times the size is strain specific. And sometimes you can’t believe what they say about a strain… like my “compact” Kerosene Krash!

Mars Hydro LED….for models where there is no visible external dimmer control knob

there are 4 Phillips head screws along with 2 small metal brackets that mount the Meanwell LED driver onto the top of your light fixture….

if you remove those 4 screws the driver comes off and then turn the driver upside down so you can see the bottom of the driver…

there are 2 small ”bungs” aka dust covers or rubber caps. Poke a small screwdriver in there and pry the rubber cap off and under there is a set screw for dimming.

stamped in the metal housing beside the set screws are the words Vo adjust and Io adjust…. Vo adjust is the correct set screw to use for dimming.

edit to add: yes ma’am prolly set to full power as the factory default setting

Make sure the light is unplugged when you do this T to da B…

Hey DeeBoy

I was scrolling thru your journal and saw an impressive collection of beans…. was that like a pre-built collection that you purchased? Can you share which vendor? Are those mostly single beans, 3 packs or whats the dealio?

I have built that collection pack by pack. I have quite a seed addiction… I get the tubes from Amazon and make all the labels myself. I have a big Roland printer at work as a demo unit. I sell stuff to sign and print companies for a living. Fun to play with. My label game will be greatly diminished once we sell the biz next year. Back to crayons…

Thank Dee, and great save on advising Trala to unplug the light first!!!

Ah ok that makes more sense. I like the bigger tubes, hard to deal with those tiny flip top jobs and fat fingers.

Nice toys - I saw that wide format printer on your thread!! Dude you’ve got your auto coco grow game nailed down tight. I’m chewing thru pages over there, that’s a honking huuuge collection of beans- totally jealous!

Ooh cold turkey- crayons won’t be easy for a techie bean hoarder

 

[GreenFingaz]

I can’t believe I got twice as much as that, most harvests.

I’m gonna take notes for grows going forward.




Preach brother!

Im noting my temps humidity any changes with leaves 24H range of temps and humidity. I can look back then to help in the future

After what I just discovered I don’t think you should be following my advice
Hey Trala, Don't sweat it at all......I am obviously no expert but if your light is at 100% intensity (can't wait to see that post btw ) and at 12" distance during flower, I know each strain is different but that seems about right to me. I had the same issue with low yields on my first two grows but that's what happens when you chop off the bud sites thinking you are doing a great job trimming up the plant.

Thanks man! Now I'm shopping for a 4x4 tent cuz my 3x3 is packed like a Tokyo rush hour train!!!

Have fun tonight!

Lived my best life!

They went off like a frog in a sock bruv.

Spliffs were being passed left right and centre in the smoking pen lol. We even made friends with a couple of California girls! They were so much fun! I wish they all could be California girls lol.

I thought you were talking about your boy…..

L O L L I N G !

A lot of times the size is strain specific. And sometimes you can’t believe what they say about a strain… like my “compact” Kerosene Krash!

Not in this case, but I do love how you’re trying to justify my fucktardedness behind that rationale lol. It’s defs grower error.

Make sure the light is unplugged when you do this T to da B…

LOLLLLLLLLLL

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Coupla ratbags you two are!

I’m rethinking everything at the moment and I’m going back to basics. How I grew before I thought I knew everything lol.

 

[Trala]

First just this, coz my redemption Mimosa makes my heart sing.

 

[Trala]

Omg I don’t mean to be all trama, but I got a couple of things going on atm, and I love the way my Spotify knows what I need before I do!

This just started playing and i immediately feel my mood lift.

Music really is the best drug (not including coke lol)

Okay on to disappointment. My Shiskaberry numbers are in. She has sat 61%-64% jar humidity for 48 hours. As you saw she was a giant plant. Mainly I think because I kept the light 8 miles away from her lol. While I’m not all about yield, I want the yield to reflect the work I put into my plant. I want her to be the best she can be. Simba was quite simply not.

She was basically like a huge anabolic steroid using body builder. To look at she was impressive, but once you stripped her back, she was a bald angry sheman with shrunken testes where her lady parts used to be.

Simba Bee aka Shiskaberry
Barney’s Seed from Sponsors Herbies Seeds
Age: 123 Days
Flip Age: 67
Days Flowering: 51

Final Yield: 88g/3.1oz

Thanks for watching another Bee go from sleeping seed to jarred bud. I think my favourite part of this grow was that circle of life/she’s awake video I took. I’m so dirty I deleted it. Xo

1st time called a ratbag! Cool!

Jeeeez shes a beautiful looking plant

 

[Carmen Ray]

Redemption Mimosa is a very pretty plant. No wonder she makes your heart sing.

 

[DV8]

Defs the nicest one so far. I mean a girl in the right lighting does make a big difference, however shes still hands down a cut above.

To be fair those Mims got a fair whack from the you know whats.

Also count to ten if you're feeling like grabbing the scissors....

Short Version: I feel sad, but I will be okay.

Long version. Omg the last two days I’ve struggled terrible with the black dog. And when I say struggled terrible I mean fucking awful terrible lol! I know it’s what I do. I know all the reasons I do it, but it’s still so exhausting living it. And it’s so fucking stupid. I literally had one of the best nights of my life on Thursday. Then woke yesterday with an invisible dark cloud and a fucked up inner dialog.

I think Christmas can be a hard time. I feel jealous of people who are well loved by parents. I feel jealous of those with family, whether it be good or bad family. I miss my mum. I miss my dad. I miss my brothers. I miss what could have been. I miss my Billy. Then I feel guilty. Guilty that my son has no father. No grandparents. No extended family outside me. No family traditions except for the ones I made. Then I feel guiltier, because some have it so much worse. Like Buds Buddy, losing his wife, his family, his future forever changed. People in the Ukraine. People who will lose loved ones today. Collingwood supporters who suffer for life (google them). I’m in full woe mode and I can not for the fucking life of stop these intermittent sobs. I’m being so pathetic I’m starting to get on my own nerves! Lol!

I allow myself one day. One day to cry and wallow. It has now leaked into two. My boyfriend made me big smile tho. He sent me a message saying “you’re taking liberties with 2 days..’ made me lol.

So if you are a black dog fighter, and you’re feeling it atm. Know you’re not alone, I fight it with you. And if you don’t understand the fight, that’s okay too. There is a saying it is something like “in a world where you can be anything, be kind”. Personally I’d be happy if you just weren’t a cunt. Sometimes all it takes is one cunt to add to a mental spiral.

Anyway that’s enough Trama for one post!

Lol

 

[Trala]

1st time called a ratbag! Cool!

I love it when I get to take a cherry

 

[Trala]

Jeeeez shes a beautiful looking plant

She really is.

She’s defs the nicest plant I have atm.

 

[Trala]

Redemption Mimosa is a very pretty plant. No wonder she makes your heart sing.

I hoping to get a crack at a redemption Zkittles too. I fucked that zkittles from Carcass so bad lollll!

My little monster will hopefully help me redeem myself.

 

[Trala]

Defs the nicest one so far. I mean a girl in the right lighting does make a big difference, however shes still hands down a cut above.

I’m all about good lighting bruv.

My Bloom Room lights skin better than a Kardashians lighter! Lolll

To be fair those Mims got a fair whack from the you know whats.

Don’t mention the war!

Also count to ten if you're feeling like grabbing the scissors....

I dare not touch anything sharp today. Not even joking.

Lolllllllll
