Blackforest's RDWC ^2 Grow

I think you should 'buy' a big boat and park it in the driveway. When she melts down, mention that she didn't like what you were doing so you figured you'd just get something YOU wanted with the funds, lol

When she's done freaking out on you, let her in on the joke. Her reaction will tell you everything you need to know...

That's actually a great idea!

You know I get kickbacks from divorce lawyers, right? LOL

Plants look nice!

Hopefully I'll find a nice pheno out of this pack! Going to pop them tomorrow...

Getting frosty in there! I also popped 6 of those silverback's, 6/6 germinated. They were the smallest seeds I've ever seen. Can't complain about anything right now, everything is pretty much on auto pilot.

I did have 2x 600 but added a third about a week or so ago. I hate cool tubes, but it's all I have right now. Works great, tent is at 75-76 during lights on.

What about cool tubes do you not like?

Mainly the reflection properties. I do like how the keep things cool though. It's hard to hang big reflectors in tents, perhaps if I got the cool tubes with the larger reflectors that would be better.

Vertical bare bulb with a big fan running on low beneath it... because hot air rises.
Just sayin'

Next build for sure, going vertical.

6 newbies sprouted nicely. I can't find any images or journals about this cross, should at least be fun. Silverback by In House Genetics (gg#4xblack cherry pie). Reg seeds so It's going to take me a minute to get some female clones into the system.

nice work!

ph dropped to 5.0 from 6.0 in 2 days. Don't know what that was all about. ec is only 1.0 right now, they seem to like a lower pm in flower. That seems strange. Had them as high at 1.8 in late veg and the loved it. Still learning. I want to mix my own dry nutes for the next round, every good chef would. Going to need some advice on that one. I know you guys have some good recipes.

So if EC remains stable or drops and pH drops suddenly, the ladies ran out of something. They need a topup or changeout of nutrients because they've depleted the current stuff.

change outs are on Sunday, and I've been using mainly just ph'd ro water for the top off this week, started at 1.4, so I see what you are saying. I also still have a foliage issue. The canopy is thick. I would like to take out some more of the larger fan leaves to help light penetration. They really blew up when I flipped them. I think I could get the same results with 1/2 the plants in the same time frame easily with slightly larger tubs.

Yup- they got big and now they're hungry. Feed 'em, Seymour!

4 bulb T5 got here today! Seedlings are looking good! Fits well in my small 2x4 tent. I guess I can put the shop light back in the garage.

Yeah, they do offer fem seeds on some lines. I don't really know much about them. I wanted to get Sin City gorilla grip (blue power x gg#4) but they sold out quick. I was looking for a gg cross and came across the in house thread, and found a good black friday deal. You can check out some of the gear on instagram. About the only place to find good images. Reviews about them seem to be mixed as far as they just chuck pollen, but I'm just looking for a stellar plant I can run a couple times then go onto the next strain. I'll let them do the hard work and pickup a pack for sixty bucks. I'm already on the hunt for the next strain now. I really like their crystal cookies, looks fire. If you come across something you like, let me know so I can check them out.
