    Arrow shipping

    Man I don't know about these chuckleheads at Arrow's warehouse/shipping department! I ordered another 100 of the 22" Samsung strips. They arrived today in a HUGE box, 32x21x15! I opened it up and under the first layer of packing is two stacked trays with 72 strips in them. I dig some more and...

    Ok, so I got this Arduino free....

    When I ordered a bunch of strips from Arrow last month, I got a free Arduino "UNO". What can I do with this thing? Anyone got suggestions?

    Time to start a new strain...

    Well, my last few plants have been Plushberry clones, and my current plant in Veg is a Harley Tsu clone I got from the dispensary a month or so back. I took a cutting from the Plushberry that's in flower now, but it didn't make it - damn spider mites... Anyway, I'm not going to try...

    Strip light harvest.

    Time to harvest the girl I have flowering under the Samsung Acuity strip lights. I'm also doing an experiment regarding the dark period before harvest. So I took half the plant this morning at the end of her normal 12 hours of night, and the rest of the plant will remain in darkness for another...

    Yellowing of the veins?

    I've not been able to dig up much info on this symptom. Here is what it looks like: She is about 5 weeks into flower and has been yellowing like this for about two weeks. She is losing a lot of fan leaves. I've had intermittent issues with spider mites and have been beating them back with Neem...

    New DIY LED light

    Finished up my new light and hung it up tonight. It consists of ten Samsung Acuity hard strips, 56 LEDs in double rows on 22" x 3/4" strip boards. I mounted two strips to a 48" long 3/4" aluminum U-channel, for a total of five light bars. Framed them together with 3/4 aluminum angle, for an 18"...

    Loving my Dutch Bucket

    Damn, this thing is growing wicked fast: She went in there about 15 days ago, she looked pretty sketchy coming out of the cloner (she took three weeks to root), didn't change much for the first five days, then I noticed she had nearly doubled in size over about 3 days, so I figured I better...

    First serious defoliation.

    OK, with my first two clones, that are in their fourth week of flower, I took a "hands off" approach and have only trimmed dead leaves and such, while doing LST and scrog to keep an even canopy. I have taken clones from them, and the largest one is vegging away like mad, trying to catch up to...

    Ok, here's an oddity...

    Two clones. Same size when cut. Both cut from the same plant (Jack Herer) on the same day (1F). Put in the seedling tray/cloning tray and both showed roots after about two weeks. Transferred (same day) to the one pint containers in the exact same soil (Vermisoil) and given the same nutrient...

    First time grower here, girls are 1 week into flower.

    This is my first grow. I've been reading a ton and researching on how to do this and things seem to be going pretty good so far. I've learned a lot in the last two months since I got these clones, and had a rough patch for a while but they look great now. A Jack Herer and a Plushberry clone...
