hey everyone! hope you're all having a good holiday season! i have this week off and i finally have time for another update. so much has happened since my last update.
first off is the thing thats been keeping me so busy: the panda:
here's under one of the lids:
control bucket, pump, manifold for sprayers:
pump and manifold again:
prepping the room: swept, dusted, wiped down with bleach water, used ortho bug barrier areound edges, windows, etc...
and here she is set up with her new Master Kush and White Widow occupants
closer shots:
MK3:
WW2:
i didn't have much luck on my first round of cloning. they didn't die but they were taking forever and had semen-looking slime on their stems/roots and clogging the aerocloner pump so i tossed em and started new with 2 from each WW and MK and 5 from the Purps mom. i'm using EZ Cloner brand "Clear Rez" to combat nasty shit in the res. this time. other than that i'm just using pH'd tap. here are the new clones:
here is the only clone i didn't give up on from the first round. she was well rooted enough for me to throw in her own 5 gal DWC bucket in the Panda room:
roots are already pokin through the 6 in. net pot. notice browness- this is remnent of a brown slime problem i had after transplant. i'm working on getting rid of it completely:
now some Purps pics:
here is my favorite, J, before i defoliated her but the picture is ten days old:
and here is J in the flower box on the 26th:
here is H, the furthest along of the Purps:
and a nice picture of my fan with H's buds in the foreground... hahaha:
here's the 30 gallon, 6 plant rubbermaid bubbler Purps:
and here's a mylar'd out pic of the two bagseed who refuse to finish even after 10 weeks of flowering. i gave #1 a little haircut though:
harvested 2 branches and began drying today. pistils were probably 90-95% amber. all i have is a 5X mag. loupe and couldn't differentiate clear or cloudy trichs, but didn't see any amber. decided to go ahead and chop a little to see how it is. i doubt there will be an oz between those two anyway but its ok they're my learning aid. notice the lack of crystalization compared to most buds you see around here. they're out of a bag of some brick weed hahhaa:
the purps are already lookin way tastier and are 4 weeks behind the BS. i mad bubble hash today and threw the popcorn in there. i am also quick drying about 6 smaller nugs from lower down in an envelope on top of mw kW ballast.
tomorrow i will install the DWC portion of the panda. right now its sleepy time.
hope you all smoke some nice nugs in 2012.
happy new year!!!!!

good luck 
love the new adition to your grow room, setup looks like its going to be flatout, cant wait to see it running!
