Trala’s Tent

[stinker]

Okay The Veg Tent and The Bloom Room are totes turning it on. I’m going to remodel the veg tent today to better accomodate my veggers and clean out my Bloom Room. I have 4 in different stages of veg and 3 in different stages of flower.

As you can see, my redemption zkittles is taking up most of the room. She’s not fat, she’s big boned lol.

The Bloom Room. And OMG this Mimosa EVO is giving my life!

Pure awesomeness!!

Okay so today I built. And I’m not one to toot my own horn (omg I’m so a toot my own horner lol) but I just want to add, I have zero building experience.

Behold the tent extension!

So I’ve got a bit of a funny. Well I think it’s funny. First in the nature of full disclosure I am only ever a religious or give the universe thanks type person if it serves me well. Today Jesus and the universe served me well.

So I’m all about daily cardio, and it’s so hot here today I just couldn’t be fucked walking or yogaing. I decided to settle on swimming 100 laps. So I take a pic of my plants, and dive in. First lap I’m thinking “Jesus, universe, talk to me. If there is a beer in the fridge I’m gonna take that as you wanting me to cease this swimathon, and crack it and ride my peacock (not a euphemism)”. Swimming the lap back I’m praying to every God that might favour beer. I walk inside to my man’s fridge, wet feet dripping on my tiles, and three words for you people! God is Good! Lolling!

And I uppotted my newest bee, and I spot her, two little leaves up, praying like a Catholic on card night.

 

[Trala]

Pure awesomeness!!

Hey la Rue!

We’re on for February baby!

After my run with the C Dogg, keep your expectation low and you won’t be disappointed!

Lolllllll

And thanks. I just gotta get her in the jar.

Belated on my part but don’t confuse bad timing with lack of sincerity….

best wishes for a shagtastic 2023 to Trala and company

We‘re in the suck of winter, cold temps, grey skies, etc. so it’s nice to see blue water against green plants. Your garden looks pristine as always!

Hey hey

So my man is doing a nightshift so I’m riding solo.

I think I’ve prolly inherited bipolar tendencies from my mama, and the upside of those tendencies, its sometimes an adventure! It’s 7pm, and I still don’t know how this night will unfold. There’s so many options! Wine, weed tunes? Pool weed tunes? Pool weed wine tunes? Netflix and ice cream? The options are endless. I’m half a bottle of wine one scoob in, and I’m excited by my choices!

Happy New Year to you too, K. I hope you succeed in everything you put your mind too. Xo

Ok let's up you light game, no? Yes? Here's how. First download the Photone app and buy the right light type purchase for the light you have. That's full spectrum LED. $5.00 american. ??aussie $, not much. When you do that let me know and we'll work on amounts of light for different grow situations. I got a paper with a simple chart for guidance then. EZEEPEEZEE!

Or, you could do it the "old school" method of getting the light as close as possible to the plants without them showing any adverse signs like curling leaves, etc.

As indoor growers, we're fighting the "Inverse Square Law" (see your old Physics textbooks! ) which basically says that if you increase distance from the light by "X" you decrease the light intensity by X-squared. The light, as you move it away from the plants, covers a larger area but the intensity is spread over that larger area so what falls on the plants is significantly reduced.

You want that light as close to the plants as possible while still having coverage of your grow area (i.e. no shaded spots at the borders/edges).

I'm not "poo-pooing" the app which does give useful info and may show some problems with the light you're using, but ultimately, I would resort to the above before relying on the app.

Good morning Mr O

I think I want to stick to basics, which is follow the manufacture instructions.

I don’t really want to outlay more money on lights. The Bloom Room has a full spectrum LED I think. I’ll get the paperwork once the lights go on and double check. And my veg light is a Mars Hydro TS1000. The problem was user error, not light lol.

My plan is to mix veg with light and sun, as I’ve always done. Early flower again a mix of light and sun, but once those flowers are 2-3 weeks in, just light and plants 30cm from light.

Could but this has a defined path and may be more easy to get done.

Same lights Tra. I'm talking about a free phone app from Photone that gives you choices of programs to open for 5 dollars each. We need only one. So you do pay but only 5 bucks. Put a rubber band around your head and snap out of it girl!
This tells you how much light your plants want. That's what you wanted yes?
You seem reluctant so some day when the stars align we'll talk.

Hey hey Mr Oh, Oh, Oh!

I just got my tool belt on and my Big Max tape measure out! Prepare to be dazzled! But first, omg I hate my Big Max tape measure so much! My man has 4, and I wanted the cute compact orange one, but no go. I’m stuck with fat fucking Max.

Look I’m gonna be honest, while I excel handling with most knobs, electrical knobs isn’t my strong suit. I don’t want to start fiddling with my light knobs if I can avoid it. Main reason is I’ll prolly electrocute myself lolllllling!

As you can see, my redemption zkittles is taking up most of the room. She’s not fat, she’s big boned lol.

The Bloom Room. And OMG this Mimosa EVO is giving my life!

Hay mate I see ya not happy with ya yields! Have you thought about having more reflective walls in ya flower space??
From the pics you losing alot of light that's being absorbed by the non reflective walls and floor!
I reckon your losing 20% at least!!

Operation Follow Direction

For those of you who know me know this ain’t my strength lolllll

But first, I want to introduce you to another annual resolution. I start every year with a diary, swearing I’ll write in it... Then don’t lol. Here’s 2023’s attempt. So far so good.

Gives an insight into my scrambled brain too. See how I start weights using fractions then go to decimals?! That right there has to be a demonstration of Bipolar Bear tendencies LOLLING!

And I just want to take a moment to share my Bloom Room. It’s such a lovely place to learn and grow. I wish I had a before pic, when it was my man’s area. Before I slyly took it over. And so many of you are represented in there too. Joe, the pic you made me is being printed as we speak. And that bee rock was a Xmas present from my man. He added the Y to make it the word your.

Okay onto business.

Look I know that gap is not ideal, but it is what it is. The room was designed for two flowering plants.

So how I manage this, I take my newly flipped bee, and I put her in the middle until she starts to flower, then I bump the already flowering auto to the middle. I have produced okay yielders in the past using this method. So my goal is two of the 12:12 flowering type plants under direct light, and autos get the dregs. My autos are designed for fun. I’m happy to keep them small, with smaller yields. I only need enough for my son.

This round of flowers will tell me if I’m on the right track or not. I welcome opinions too. Whether I take it or not, I do like food for thought.

Oh and onto nice news my little Stinky Runtz Muffin is Day 1 of flower

The newly flowering Stinky and my veggers are outside is the summer rain

Hey Porkstar

My yields prior to moving them two cities from my grow lights was okay. Its just since I moved the light I think.

I actually put some silver reflector panelling up. Just on the left side to help with that.

I reckon you'll notice the difference if ya get more reflective shit!!

 

[Stunger]

I reckon you'll notice the difference if ya get more reflective shit!!

I guess if you want more reflection then you need to contain everything in an actual tent, or get a bigger more expensive light. I am not an indoor grower so I have no idea about either!

2 cities away

lolling!
