GroErr Grows...

Sorted out my veg space conundrum with a short term band-aid until I get some time to build a proper one. Bought another tent ($115 delivered/tax-in) on eBay. It's 2'x4'x5' and will fit nicely into a corner of the laundry room where I have that little seedling/clone cabinet. This will give me a few more sq. ft. of veg space and still allow room for seedlings/clones, and still be somewhat stealth in that corner. Cheap fix, another $35 for a booster inline fan for constant airflow/exchange and good to go. I have an 8" circulation fan that'll fit well in there and use passive exhaust, same as I'm doing in the smaller cabinet.

This will allow me to move that little cabinet I'm using for seeds/clones into the only remaining space I have in a corner of the main flower room (have floor space but no overhead space for hanging lights in that corner so this works well) and use it for it's original/intended use. It'll run 100w of COB LED's and be dedicated to special flowering projects, like the upcoming 12/12 from seed contest I can run that in the corner and still have a dedicated light in it without any light bleeding in or out. Also frees up the tray I put on the flower room wall to flower out any extra clones/seedlings in party cups.

I love new shit, specially when it expands my grow capacity

Who doesn't love new shit

Busy week trimming

A little less weight overall than I was guessing but respectable. 4 strains, 3x 5 gal, 2x 2 gal untrained, 257.7g/9.20 oz., .82 gpw on the 315w bulb. The weight on the Blue Pyramid surprised me a bit, lot of small but dense buds, breaks up like hash, very nice smoke. Nice little stash between this and the smaller 3gal 3x3. 195g + 257.7 = 452.7g, about a pound - lol. A couple of winner strains from the strain/pheno search runs. The Blue Pyramid wins the indica prize and will stay for a while. Strong punch, strong (double-bag) blueberry hash smell and taste. And pheno 1 of the 4x Harlequin run in the tent will be staying as well, smooth, great taste/smell and high CBD.

Here's the break down and pics, have to break it into 2 posts to by-pass the pic limit per post:
JTR:
Bud: 63.5g
Popcorn/Trim: 18.6g
Total: 82.1g/2.93 oz.


JTR2 (2gal no training):
Bud: 16.9g
Popcorn/Trim: 4.6g
Total: 21.5g/.77 oz.


BLUE PYRAMID:
Bud: 45.6g
Popcorn: 7.4g
Total: 53g/1.89 oz.


Cheers

PPP (2gal no training):
Bud: 27.2g
Popcorn: 3.7g
Total: 30.9g/1.10 oz.


BLUE DREAM:
Bud: 59.5g
Popcorn: 10.7g
Total: 70.2g/2.50 oz.

Update/pics on the current flowering runs...

The main flower room is humming along. 3 gal 3x3 (Day 25) is filling in with bud, 5 gal (Day 14) is pretty well done stretching and starting to build flowers.



The 6x 1gal SOG in the tent is now Day 12. 3x THC Bomb and 3x Blue Dream clones are doing well, stretched now, maybe a bit more but pretty well settled down and beginning to flower. Certainly filling the tent, should be interesting to see progress in a week or so, not a lot of elbow room in there.


Cheers

Is that purple I see in the flower room in the back? Looks to be like some purple leaves. Maybe I'm just baked lol.

Seedling & clone update...

Small cabinet has some Blue Dream, Harlequin, JTR, Blue Ripper, Blue Power Plant clones. Plus 2x Blue Power plant seedlings, looking for a better pheno, one is looking good, too early to sex yet.


Larger veg cabinet has 2x Blue Pyramid, 1x THC Bomb in 3 gal pots. Then 3x small Blue Dream clones in 1 gal pots.
Waiting for a 2x4x5’ tent this week to spread these clones/seedlings out between the cabinet/tent. That’ll let me do 4x 5 gal 3x3 I’ve been wanting to do with 4x Blue Dream’s.


Cheers

No, I see what you're referring to though, that's reflection off the LED panel with the reds, wish it was

You hand trimming everything or do u use one of those 'automated' trimmers? As much as harvest time is exciting, I'm starting to find I dread trimming lol. Considering one of those lower end trimmers w/ the hand cranks, but the reviews on most of em are mixed. Not sure yet...

Hey ayr0n, hand trimming, the harvests aren't that large and spread out timing-wise that it's manageable. I spread it out by slow drying and the room I dry in stays at 65 RH, I can hold them for a day or two while I'm trimming others if there's a few like this last harvest. I also have a helper (GF) that doesn't smoke but doesn't mind trimming That said, if I could find a reliable/automated trimmer that didn't fuck up the buds I'd certainly consider it, it's the least exciting process of all for sure

I find that if I just cut a cola at a time and trim it, I am able to quit when I am tired and start again when I am ready. It has made it fun again for me.

That's a good way to break it down. I'm more like just get'r done and do at least one plant at a time. I don't mind it that much, if my GF's around we play a final weight guessing game with a "prize" for the one who guesses closest, a win-win game imo

I got burnt out after hand-trimming 3 units of Malawi the first time. This new method has kept me sane

That's a tree not a plant! Damn, wish we had more than 3 - 4 months to grow outdoor when I see trees like that!

Some side benefits of popcorn and trim, mix of JTR & Blue Dream 100u dry sift kief
Nice little mound from 115g's of popcorn/sugar-trim, one of 4 jars I had lying around
Probably cap some of this and dip a pipe or 3



Cheers

That is a giant return! Yum

Yeah was very pleased, more accustomed to 4-6% with 100u, both strains were frosty and I've been playing around with the method, fresh, chopped, more aggressive scrapes over the finer screen, still comes out clean but looks like more yield with the right strain Tastes great with fresh bud/trim, bud flavour comes through.
