Hectic Thread - Thanks all.
Every time I come by this thread it is a real treat!!! Its hard to keep up with, very popular thread with good reason of course! Every time I visit I swear I read 3 pages!!!!
Sorry about your troubles with the controller, Hopefully all turns out well with it!
It looks alot bigger, especially with all those plants in it
Pity about the problem it seemed like an intresting strain from their description. I'm sure you'll find something out or atleast one of the experts here will!
I have to second this sentiment. I have a terrible time keeping up. You have a lot going on and it's very successful. Natch that draws a lot of people. Reps, except I probably can't yet. Keep it up.
Also, I am still looking forward to what you do with that CO2 sensor. No pressure, you have to prioritize. I will be thrilled to see it work though, because the commercial sensor/controllers are expensive and troublesome.
That's too bad about your controller, I was really looking forward to seeing a finished product...hopefully you wont be too long with it. Is the AK good smoke? I don't think I've ever had it, at least not any from seed...
Thanks all for the kind words. And thanks for taking the time to read back. I know its a pain for me when I do it on other threads. Also, I have a nasty tendency to use this thread to think out loud. I don't know why its so helpful, but often I find if I write it here then I can think it better in my head.
So I will try to do better about summarizing when there is a big post and posting the pics with the post. Usually I do pics of all the areas from youngest to oldest when I post pics, and they always seem to be after the updates. Also, I rarely take pics from the same place twice, or it seems like the plants have moved in between so its tough to do before and after. That is settling down greatly now. The scrog will live there for the next five weeks so that should make it easier. Also, I will put marks on the floor for a tripod and get more consistent photography in general.
The Basic Setup:
The perpetual nature of the harvest means there is theoretically always a group of plants in Veg, Early Flower and Late Flower. As well as the Moms. And clones when they are taken. Those are the 5 zones. It gets a little confusing because I use the "Veg" area for clones, moms and veg. And the Flower area has both early and late in it. But one area is 12/12 and the other is 18/6 and one is HPS and the other is CFL.
Also, all the groups so far have been varied strains because I wanted moms. Hopefully, from here on out it should be primarily one strain per 6-8 plant group. The next group will still be a little mixed to clean up stragglers, and to make sure I have enough medicine of each type to last til the next harvest, but after that it should be 1 strain per group - and all clones.
The Controller:
The unfinished controller is bugging me as well, so I am gonna get at least something working on the damn thing next week while I wait for the new gear.
The AK:
The AK is great smoke, and the plant couldn't be easier to grow. There are two very distinct phenos. Its hard to believe they can both be called AK. If I didn't know better I'd say they were different strains. But I have seeds from one mom that gave both phenos, and all the short ones look identical and all the tall ones look identical. I read that they had all but eliminated one of the phenos from the breed now, and I have gotten 7/9 the tall ones. My plants are in their 5th generation since they were ordered 3 years ago, so I still have some of the short in there. But I like them both. I keep meaning to get a pic of the second one, but I forget until the lights are out. I will remember tomorrow. Rather than try to describe the smoke from memory (as I am out right now) I will wait and give you the flavor description in a few weeks live.
Let me know if anyone has any ideas for how to organize the thread any better.
And now I'm off to Clearex the troublemaker. Lets see if we cant flush our troubles away. This is the first unscheduled flush in 9 weeks so I guess I was due.
Still don't know if the second diagnosis was correct. I'm still entirely capable of killing that one. I should have known when they say ,"with a little care" on the strain description that what they really mean is "unless you baby her she will die."
