Construction Update
Still working on it but here is what I've got so far
Flower room
Got a car top carrier(10 bucks at a yard sale a year or two ago), bottom half for a runoff tray.
Moved the light to fit inside the cab better, with a 4x4 foot print.
Picked up a few sheets of insulation(on sale for 10$/sheet) and made a veg cab door and lined the flower room walls.
Removed a shelf, lined the veg cab with panda plastic, installed a fan and 2 four foot lights, raised the lights up to about 5'.
Fixed up the ventilation
Run an active exhaust from veg cab and removed the ac in. Set the exhaust pipe by the ac exhaust and put the vent back on the ac
Run new intake pipes
That's it for now, gotta wait on some funds to finish things up.

mini-UpdateAll of the WW went in jars to begin curing today
The two jars in the top left are bagseed, the other four, as well as four, 5g bags, of the small totally dried buds, are WW
T
Sorry, no pics of stemming and weighing, but I did take notes.
Dry weight is,
WW FL 8-18 #1/ Cola-9g, Total-27g
WW FL 8-18 #2/ Cola-11g, Total-32g
WW FL 8-22 #1/ Cola-15g, Total-24
WW FL 8-22 #2/ Cola-15g, Total-25
Total of combine colas-50g
Overall Total-107g(5g shy of a 1/4 #)
Also, I finally set the veg cab up, in a way that I think I'll keep it for awhile.
I'm also going to try to update my profile pic each week, with a pic of the flowering girls, in the room together, like this one

Yes, it's algae. It comes from top watering the mini-hempys. If it gets bad I just scrape the top 1/2" or so and replace it with new perlite.

Had the same problem with my mini's, but none so far on the big hempy pots.
Your grow looks great. Is there anything cooler than jars and jars of primo curing bud?

I worked on the grow room all night. Got alot done, modified AC(more), hung insulation on the rest of the walls, fixed the veg cab door and ventilation piping(light leaks).
Sorry no pics tonight, but I'll update the room, with the girl's weekly update.
Looks like a space station or something in there.
It's cool, I think. I'll let everyone see tomorrow.
Exhausted now,
goodnight

When I got up this morning, I checked the space station for light leaks. Now, it's DARK in there, like cave dark, you literally cannot see your hand, right in front of your face!

Sorry about the pic quality, I'm working on getting a new camera, this one only takes good pics part time.

And welcome to the space station.
I fixed up the AC. Got rid of all the plastic and upgraded to insulation board. Then I built a side box and hooked up the HPS exhaust, and the veg room exhaust, to the AC exhaust, and sealed off the existing exhaust holes, making only one main exhaust. It works alot more efficiently now, the AC is on low cool, with the thermostat set less than half way and Barely runs now. In between the ventilation being run more efficiently done, and the insulation board, hopefully my utilities bill will drop respectively.
Side box with the active exhausts
Even with the two squirrel cage fans going in, it still "sucks"
Exhaust from light
and from veg cab
Flushed the front off, and boxed everything in with HVAC tape
Circulating fan , and ballast
Super light tighted the veg cab door
And hung insulation throughout(except on the ceiling {for now})
The girls
I took them all out and gave them a hair cut(and took clones). Now they are all pretty much lolly popped into colas only, without any pop corn buds.

With the veg cab in re-construction, it took me awhile to get everything dialed in. As a result, I lost many clones. Still have a bunch going though, and I just took another tray full today, so there should be plenty for later

Wow Elbee! That looks totally cool... love the 'Space Station' lol!
How big are those rooms? You've got a major grow lab going now, kinda like a mini-doc setup. Great work!

Kinda like a scrog without a screen. Hopefully, as I train the stretch, I'll end up with plants that are all colas. Seems like the colas from previous harvests have made up for the majority of the good smoke/weight. So hopefully they pack on extra bud because of all the popcorn bud being cut off(in theory anyway, this is my first shot at it).
Thanks for coming by HorseBadortiz, I lurked through your scrog grow. Great job on everything you did in the crawl so far, by the way. Sorry to never speak up and say so, there.

Update
Again, sorry for the pic quality. I hope to get a new camera sometime soon, but for now I'm still stuck with one that takes pics that you can make out, sometimes.
All of the flowering girls started to show a little calcium and phosphorus diff. this week. I kinda expected it, I was going to give them a dose of cal/mag and GH flora bloom today anyway. Because, all of the plants have had these same issues, a few weeks into flower. Worked well for the others, but I do believe I need to do a better flush this time.
Besides that though, they're looking good and starting to bud up nice.
WW Mom #2 FL 10-11
WW Mom #3 FL 10-17
WW Mom #1 FL 10-17
I opened her up, and thinned her down to 11 tops, trying to keep them to about the same height
I know its hard to see anything in the pic, but I figured the plants were used to the big light by now, so I raised them all up to be in the 1' to 2' range away from the 1000watter.
I lost a few clones this week, but nothing serious, 3 or 4 maybe, I don't really remember. Figure they were just weaker cuttings or something. For the most part though, they're all doing well and looking better than last week.
The oldest ones(the three in the rear are one of each mom)
These still look rough, but they're getting better
This tray is next in age. They all seem to be doing really well. They've had their dome off since tuesday, and they're loving it.
Last, is the clones I took last week. They're hanging on, by next week I should have a good idea of how many will make it.
