Budget no frills led bs

INF Flux, I was trying to see how you tied down your branches. I also noted you pulled most of the fan leaves. Plants look good!

I also wanted to add to the UV discussion, my understanding is a 10-thousand-K MH bulb provides good UV, that's why they're often used as finishing bulbs.

Thanks, basically just pulling branches away from each other to try to create some space. These Dark helmets are bushy!
I've heard that about the cmh's but my wattage and ceiling height preclude using them. I just got a zillion old t5 fixtures as part of a free greenhouse deal, I might step up to a four foot agromax sooner than anticipated.



pulling branches towards each other to get them out of clumpy bits. Air flow being key.


Here's how things are looking up top.


Been busting my ass all week, tearing down the structure there and now rebuilding here, will be a 21x12 glass and polycarbonate panel enclosed structure framed out with 2x6. . Minor incidentals as far as expense goes, still super stoked about it.

Just about done with building the greenhouse, grow is chugging along. Dark Helmet 4 is looking to be my early favorite for the keeper cut.

Things got a bit to dry during the holiday festivities. Don't think it was to bad. Getting into the home stretch.
One of my potential keepers, DH1.
Some gg4 in the side closet.

A nice Gorilla cookies golfball.

Won't be long now

Dark Helmet 1, not quite ready. had the flash on and I think thats why the color is weird.

DH 2, showing some color on the lowers, not quite ready.

Gorilla Cookies looking done.

So down she goes.

I dug out the aeropot and used the root ball to raise the soil level in the bed.

Mixed up some ewc, crawfish bits, kelp, rock dust, perlite, hu zhang root powder, neem meal and probably some other stuff.


Gave a grease monkey I've been vegging a haircut and dropped her in. I used the amendments to top dress and secure her in place. I decided to get pretty aggressive with the tie downs.

Pulin down plants, getting the hang on.

One DH left, probably not the keeper. Clones are all doing well.

After hanging till slightly crispy, It goes into large jars with a hygrometer. Let the burping begin! When the jar stays at a stable 60% humidity I call it done.


Gorilla glue in the side closet is getting chunky.

Cut the glue today, everything's still curing, hoping for a flavor winner

Cure is getting close to 60% humidity. Taking longer than usual. Have had a few tester buds and I think the DH1 is the winner, that was also the highest yielding. . Will be crossing that to the grease monkey, and gorilla cookies down the road.
I threw a few moms in to fill the space before I decide what to play with next. Left to right, Grease monkey, Snoops dream and GG4. I let em get a bit to dried out and the dreaded two spot made an appearance. Treating with predators as usual.
Been away from here for a bit as there wasn't much to post and life's been busy. I'll start documenting my next project grow after these are done. Might be the crosses, might be @Heisenbeans gear. Looking forward to it either way.
