Well, yesterday ended with the repair crew working right next to and above my flowering tent.....they ended the day with asking me to move it :shock:
My cover story ahead of time was it was a protected area for my wife to keep her paintings that are not dry as the cat hair gets on it.....well they didn't bat an eye, just asked that it was moved by this a.m..
Needless to say once the lights came on last night I was busy....tear down, move, set up, re tape all seams and flaps.....etc. I had been killing all my fans while they have been here.......one flaw with the tents. If my carbon filter and fan is running then I have zero smell....once that is shut off the smell seems to permeate the tent. This morning I left the scrubber and fan going, no problems.
They are officially done, I survived 5 days with 3 workers and my landlord in my place with 16 girls 8 weeks in to flower and another 8 a week or so in.......the wave of stress that left my body as they closed my door is indescribable......bongsmilie
Tonight I will get a real proper update with a good amount of photos.....I need to run out and get some rechargeable....so it may be early a.m. update.
Hope everyone has a good weekend......I know I will :bigjoint:

I can't believe you went through all that! things look great. I've hung 6 out of 8 to dry, including the crazy AI. After all of my bitching about her - I think she is going to be a great yielder for oil. NOw i have to figure out a way to keep myself from getting too stoned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, not super stealthy....really can't be in this place as it is 3000 + square feet of wide open space (private bathroom)....no where to hide :cry:.

It was in the corner but they needed in there....so it was moved mid week to where that photo was taken.....for those in my position have a reliable, believable cover for what that thing is.....mine was wife taking paint classes needed a cat hair free area for painting......lame but worked as I knew what I was going to say. Cant wait for my new place :sleep:

My last harvest I pulled a week early due to county inspections....I was either going to be a hero and save the ship or go down to the oceans bottom with her.....glad it worked the way it did. Please post photos when you get a chance......mine is out of control....the other two I threw in looked to be squaty more indica dominant....they are now out of control as well 1 week in to flower.....think this strain needs some tinkering. I am going to see what happens flowering straight after rooting and see what it does.

Week 8 Day 3 of flower

Things are progressing, pain in the ass but progressing. The tomahawks in 32 ounce cups have been getting water only for the last week and will continue to until harvest. Some of them are ready now, or could be considered ready....I will start selectively harvesting them starting tomorrow with one.....was going to do it tonight but I am beat.

These photos are from Friday morning right after lights went off.....I thought my rechargeables for my camera were dying....turns out something is up with the camera itself....will get it resolved before harvest or will purchase another.

The LOL stealth flower room LOL.....it worked so oh well....the white "laundry mat table" in front is what I will be using for some flood tables for "other" plants.

lol_stealthflowerroom_lol.jpg

Left side of flower room....a few A.I.'s, few trainwreck, few cheese and 1 tomahawk.....everything that was in the veg area is now in flower. Veg area currently has 1 ebb/flow table in it with 20 cheese and tomahawk cuts. I settled on 5 1/2 inch square pots......20 fit in the tubs perfect. Photos to follow when camera issues are resolved. Above plants....1 A.I. 2 weeks in flower....all the rest are 1 week in today.

Tomahawks in 32 oz. cups......this was friday, they have really changed to have that "done look" to them today. Seems that the ones that spent the first month under the HTG bulb finished or will finish first with a little less bulk to them.
Harvest photos will show each plant, what bulb they were under as well as wet weight (I dont dry weigh as it is all for me).

I hit the hydro store again over the weekend, picked up 100 5 1/2 inch black square pots as well as some misc parts. My wife was getting her hair done while I was out so I had some time to kill......dropped 30 bucks in a dollar store while I waited....I hate those stores but I actually found some stuff I needed. Picked up some decent bungies, 1000 asst. colored wooden sticks (color coding cuts and plants), a dozen black buss tub type containers (about half the size) for watering/run off as well as some more measuring cups and spoons.........she still wasn't ready so I was off to Lowes next door......I hate this place more as I always drop some coin in there......luckily I stopped as they were clearing out a bunch of pond supply stuff. I picked up a 15 foot by 20 foot 20 mil pond liner and a 12 by 15 20 mil......32.00 and 14.00 respectively. I will cut them up and use them on the laundry tables I picked up (one in photo above). I will use them for micro greens and some tomatoes and peppers I have going....we shall see.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Actually, I forgot to take pictures of her - I was so overwhelmbed by all the branches etc - but I will try to take some pics from the meat locker. THere are some of one of the chocolopes though.

But, has a lot of resin, like i said i'm just gonna chop her up and make the rick simpson oil.

It is funny that you say that, a week or two back I was trying to balance them all so they wouldn't all collapse as they are a bit top heavy (particularly when they are dry) and I was thinking......what is a good name for this nonsense I am playing, some form of cannabis jenga.....Cup O' Colas is it for sure. :bigjoint:

Make sure you have a ventilated place to do it....no smoking no flames :bigjoint:

Make sure you go squares that fit tight in your tubs so your not playing "Cup O' Colas, the fun fantastic family game by shipinit. Foot by foot if you are doing any form of perpetual I think small pots with a week or two veg then in to flower is the way to go.....with that said. As long as plant count is not a concern this is a nice way to go.....thanks for the rep, I will post individual wet weight and a total dry weight :mrgreen:

Start of day 61 of flower (for the 32 oz cups)

It has been a while since I made a proper update.....so since the room didn't need much tonight it seems like as good a time as ever. All the "Cup O' Cola's" have been getting straight ph'd water and molasses for the last week - 10 days or so. From here on out they will get straight ph'd water.....till they are clipped. Yesterday I pulled one, it was one of the plants under the htg bulb and finished earlier than the others....camera was acting up when I trimmed so no photos on her.....wet weight was just over 3 oz. ....so dry weight should be around 20-22 grams or so. Will snap photos when I check on them next.

Flower room lights off

As lights come on

And right before full nova

The left side of the room is packed and begging for the "Cup O' Colas" to finish there reign over the right side of the room. Left side currently has 1 A.I. 3 weeks or so in to flower, 2 A.I., 1 Cheese and 1 Trainwreck about a week or so in. Right side of the room has the "Cup O' Colas" as well as 1 Tomahawk, 1 Cheese and 1 Trainwreck 1 week in......Cups are start of day 61.

Veg area is currently non existant, I am using an area in my living room that I lined with panda and covered in brown canvas.....always had other plants growing on top now it is serving double duty.

temp_veg_area.jpg

Inside......"flower room clone prep tray"....all the clones will hit this thing for a week to 10 days before going in to flower. The tubs hold 20 5 1/2 " pots snug with room for drains.....I currently have 20 in there but will only be using 15 per tub.....4 tubs in flower....1 in veg.....mothers.....keeps me well under 99 plants. Once I get an accurate weight on what the system will produce I may scale it back.

flower_prep_veg_tray.jpg

I will post a full journal on my DIY ebb/flow.....with detailed photos.

Here is a preview of what is next in line (until new stock arrives)

  • El Nino
  • Great White Shark
  • White Rhino
  • Lemon Skunk
  • Big Bang
Hope this finds everyone well :bigjoint:
