Perpetual Vipar Led grow featuring 2 B3x3's

Hey all!

I got my hands on the new Vipar Series B lights. Ill be growing in my old wooden cabinet like last grow a long side the 2x2 tent.
I havent setup the tent yet because im trying to get a perpetual harvest going. Going to be using the B3x3 model for each area.

Right now i have a 3 plants going in my cabinet and a 4th soon to come. An La confidential from my breeding project growing nice and healthy, a northern lights from nirvana, and a jack the ripper from subcool. i had germinated an ak47 previously but it grew out to be a male and will be replaced with another soon.

This time around ive upgraded from 1 gallon plastic pots to 2 gallon smart pots in hope of a bigger yield as i think that was my limiting factor last round. ive also setup a badass blumat system with an 18 gallon tote on bottom that feeds to a 10 gallon one up top. since im still using supersoil i can leave these girls for weeks without having to open up my cabinet and let in the fucking gnats and aphids that pop up out of nowhere late flower.

Here is how the units looks, has 2 switches, 1 for the middle row and another for the 2 outer rows. nice solid feel to them.

Jack the ripper. i had planted 2 of these seeds and both times the tap rood tip died and the plant remained a sprout for weeks, the first one i threw away but when this one did the same thing i kept it and it finally started growing. hope its a female with all the time and money possibly wasted.

blumats were definitely annoying, after the initial setting which isnt right you have to keep making small changes and see what effect the change had the next day. after a couple times, the pot starts to remain nice and heavy letting you know you got it right. totally worth it though!

Update time: :bigjoint:

My JTR plant turned out to be a male so i removed him and will be replacing him with another soon!

I also germinated a new ak47 which has just sprouted a couple days ago.

not sure if its noticeable in the picture, but underneath the hose where my blumats have been dripping is a giant root clump. when i was checking on the cabinet today, i noticed thats on the la confidential, the roots had actually started to grow into the tube and clogged that blumat!
PA280439.jpg
my northern lights grew so tall that when i walked in to the cabinet today, i noticed that it was touching my light. i cut a few inches below it to shorten it down, only the very tip that was touching the light was burned brown, no bleaching anywhere else on the plant
PA280429.jpgPA280427.jpg
my la confidential is also starting to get nice and fat, its 12-12 from seed, but i would like to see more frost develop sometime soon.

Here's the weekly update.

i took some macro shots and decided it was time to cut the top nug. the rest will come down some time tomorrow. the wet weight was 52 grams and the jar lid went on at 11 grams. so far its everything the original clone was! super impressed with 12-12.

Top Notch...beautiful hues bruv... :)
thanks man! im super happy that my la confidential came out as nicely as it did when it was in clone form.

Quick Update

i de-stemmed whatever i could and determined it was time to throw what i had into the jars. total weight including the top nug i harvested earlier is 54.6 grams dry! it took just over 100 days straight into 12-12 from seed.

I have also went ahead and germinated a new round of seeds which i will give details about in the next full update.

Hey all!

FINALLY TIME FOR A VIDEO

its been a super long while since i updated, unfortunately luck hasnt been on my side.

yet again the jack the ripper and ak47 seeds i plant turned male with the ak47 herming on me. i thought i paid a shit ton extra for the real ak47, and i also thought regular seeds dont hermie, so i dont know what the hell is going on but i'm getting kinda pissed that 5 seeds have gone to waste and not a single female. i think i only have 2 JTR left
P1160095.jpgP1160084.jpg

i sprouted another la con and ak47, i took a bit to long to get them out of the party cups and they started getting a bit deficient, they will get a bit of veg before i start flowering them. these guys are sitting in the tent next to a large og 18 x la con
P2170741.jpgP2170740.jpgP2170736.jpg


my kali mist x bubba i planted seemed stretchy and thin at first, but i have a feeling its going to bulk up like mad!
