yeahi was just a quick flicking through the pics looked puffy as said, just how they looked in the pic is all it was so, you that are 2 weeks or so away from harvest, ever tried stem splittlng, if thats what they still call it...

2 weeks and another defoliating i think.
Too much defoliating leads to too much stress at the late stages

 

[ae86 grower]

gave it up years ago.... weekend went from starting on friday to thursday to tuesday...

@fish... holy fuck man 10 to 14 is mental, the minding on them must be a pain in the arse...

work called off, up and about since 6 only got the call now, hahahahahaha no other cunt turned in, day of diy around here so, might get the room sealed if theres enough tape...

Ive only heard of splitting the stem once, a friend of mine was in spain last year. Got to know a local (old hippy guy) and was helping him with his plants, couple days before harvest he drilled a screw into the base of every plant! Think it was to cut off the water/nutrient uptake and force the plants to use their reserves

The roleadro upgrade did the trick! Knocked 50w off the total wattage in their and the tent is easily twice as bright!
My 2 bbog are plodding along nicely, training em out to maximize canopy/kill time till Gg1 is done.


One of my tangerine seedlings is looking a bit worse for where after a dodgey transplant. (Tho its not as yellow as the pic looks)

 

[budsahoi]

The GG1 in the pic you mean?
Def not done and if you like a heavy stone i would give even longer.

 

[budsahoi]

By splitting you main air layering? grows roots on the stem and hey presto you have rooted clone.
Fiddly but can have its uses.

Yea I was thinking start of May, chop gg1 and put the 2 bbog in. You reckon she'll take longer?

 

[budsahoi]

ah yea looks about right.

 

[90'sStoner]

Got some pics of the roleadro upgrade for another forum, figured id throw em up here too

New chips lined up with original reflectors pretty well!


Two drivers removed and everything wired up

 

[ae86 grower]

no way.... not when it comes to electrics..

build you a house and stand by it same with a car but when it comes to wires i stay well away.. lucky have a sparkie mate that tokes and wouldnt say a thing so covers my ass on the electric front...

fair play tho dude well impressed, and i do love a bit of re-engineering...

 

[budsahoi]

Good day yesterday. Swapped out two fans that were hard to get at.
Big carbon filters are not a one man job. I must get one of those support jack things they use for gearboxes etc.

 

[ae86 grower]

cheaper option would be the jack supports that slabbers use for ceilings, only like a sweeping brush handle with a head like a silicone gun, fits under a ceiling slab and simply pull trigger like a mastic gun and she wedges....

still haven`t taped mine, suff drying at the min so leave it till in there jars, drying nicely at 27 degrees and 36 percent humidity...

still no sign of these beans popping, been in soil a few days, like always give them a few more days to appear and then they`ll fly up, got my sheet of wire few more bits and i can build the scrog wall, looking forward to filling it now, she`ll flip when she hears were going 18 hours tho hahahahaha....

 

[budsahoi]

Yea could do the trick. Ill probably make a bespoke stand with a scissors jack for fine adjustment.

Drying in 36% humidity it will be dry in 2 days. I use a cardboard box after first dry for another day or 2.

 

[ae86 grower]

there in dry boxes so the dry is slower, air is nice and tepid, works well, sholud be in for 2nd trimming on sat evening into there jars then...

may get myself a vac machine, hear if you vac it after a good dry that a 2 week cure in the wrap gives the affect of a 4 to 5 week cure ...

bit of two by one and half with silicone gun on top of it (remove top ring for silicone tube), done for like 15 quid... can hold up a 12.5 slab with 100mm iso on the back, easy handle your filter plus easy to store and get them every hardware...


try and get a 240 litre pot into the grow room ....did not think this through....

 

[budsahoi]

Needs to be strong these filters are over 50KG.
Big pot Big trouble Lol.... I did an experiment with different size pot for a full grow.
Very little difference in yield due to smaller pots but more plants.

 

[90'sStoner]

Gotta bitta nutrient burn, musta fertilized the soil too much! Gonna start giving em an extra litre every watering to wash oit some of the excess.

 

[ae86 grower]

agree with you more room more plants, this will be a few month veg, hence the size ,need plenty of root ball...

what you feed them now?

 

[90'sStoner]

what you feed them now?

Plain water, I added plagron supermix, bat guano and some blood,bone n fish meal before transplant. I reckon its the bbfm

 

[ae86 grower]

not familiar with useing any of them but it looks like either a zinc def or potassium def..

she`ll bounce back, great looking plant and your early flower i think ? excuse me on this as i`m ignorant when it comes to dates and times its like my dislexia hahahaha...
