I haven't, mostly because:

A. It's a 30 minute drive for me to get Dry Ice.
B. I only have 5 gallon bags right now, seems like a pain in the ass with that much movement.

I chopped my Northern Lights x Blueberry about 3 days ago. I'm on track to get about 2 oz out of it. It smells like shit, the blueberry sweetness is barely there... it smells and smokes like the first weed I ever had (probably was NL) Very euphoric and lazy.

I am going to be getting a couple more pictures here soon. I have a Mendo Purp that just started showing amber today. I figure I will give it about another 5 days then I will snap some pictures.

In the tent now:

2x Black Widdow; 1- 8 weeks, 1- 6 weeks.
These will go for 11-12 weeks, they are going very nice! Rock hard nugs.

3x Mend Purp; 1- 8 weeks single cola, 1- 2 weeks Topped & Cropped, 1- 2 days Topped & Cropped
These go for about 10 weeks.



So, I was in my drying area today cleaning up (it's located in the back of my walk in closet) and I found a branch that must have fell. It is dark enough in there that I didn't notice it leaning in the corner. I only grew this plant once and haven't had it in months. Nice surprise. Dry as fuck but still good.

Take a couple small pieces of a Flour Tortilla's and put them in a bag with it. It will put moisture back into your Meds.

yea, not a big deal... kinda like finding a $20 in the dryer. I'm smoking it in a bong, works just fine.

I have also made the decision to expand this summer. I will be adding a 4x8 room to my existing room for Veg. I am going to get another 600 and put some panda film on the walls. Move the 4x4 tent into my veg room.

I will be able to put in my A/C then too.

This will give me some room for the future, I also my mother's grower too although she doesn't smoke I just make her hash for cooking so i have a bit of flexibility.

so here's my plan. I should be able to build it for about $100, but my big one is the electrical.



I am going to run a dedicated 240v line and breaker from my shop box. I want to install a light controller. Any recommendations?

I was thinking something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Titan-Controls-Helios-Lighting-Controller/dp/B004MUFSGA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=IYTUMI3DYDJ3P&colid=1WAD37WRCR8YU

so here's my list of shit I need:

1- 600w Ballast (~$200)
1- Enclosed Hood (~$125)
1- Light Controller (~$175)
Building Material (~$100)
Electrical Material (~$50)

Total cost ~$650

I noticed the light controller you listed is 120V and you mentioned 240V. I am actually having a custom light controller built for me this week. Sure beats a bunch of sketchy timers that like to melt...

I use intermatic sprinkler timers,they are heavy duty all metal units. They do need to be hard wired but will not melt thats for sure

The light controller I am getting feeds 4 lights @ 110 but is fed by a 220 line. I should have this thing complete by July/August at the latest.


I just got my greenhouse in order, amended soils, etc. I got a nice big ejection fan with temp control for it this year too, I am sure it will make loads of difference. I'm only doing 2 in the greenhouse this year and they are slated to finish in early September (before the humidity gets fucked) I am cutting the clones from my Exodus Cheese in the next week or so and they will go in there by mid April.

I am snapping some pictures tomorrow, it's been busy. I'm down to 4 flowering plants now... 1- Exodus Cheese, 2- Mendo Purps & a Black Widow.
 
how are you making that seksi full melt? i have the typical 220 73 25 micron bags, only able to make real quality bubble hash, would save me alot of hash money making some of my own full melt :P

It takes some time and technique to get it just right. I like to go for about 10 minutes with a spoon then let it rest for about 5 minutes, then a couple more minutes, then let it rest for a full 10 minutes before your initial strain.

Then do it all over again for your 2nd's


I don't find my full melt any more or less potent than if I beat the shit out of it for 20 minutes... just smoother and pretty as hell.

Still can't stand up after a hit.


Also, my DSLR battery went dead half way through the shoot... charging now, I will snap some in the morning. The Black Widow is barely hanging on. The buds are so heavy they are bending beyond the supports. It looks all droopy and shit, lines holding it up all over the place. Shit, I'm just going to start putting trellising in there after I transplant into 5 gal containers to make it easier.
 
Haha ya was using a power drill with a stir attachment on those bubble bags... useless after awhile, will look into different methods... stay updated on those in flower, would like to see how big they've gotten while not in 5gal pots...

I'm actually done with that strain, working on some new ones. It sure had a big single cola, but it was all show. The smoke was fine, the bud structure was a bit lanky.

My Mendo Purps doesn't put off big buds, just super dense and they taste awesome. The Black Widow gives some nice buds, but nothing crazy.

I'm back and forth on the 5 Gallon smart pots, I use them when I veg for a bit longer than usual (ie, topping) I have about 5 of each, so it all depends on the strain.

I have 2 in 5 gallon pots now, probably going to have all 4 in 5 gallon pots here soon (harvesting 2 in the next 4 weeks)

I got some pictures this evening, going to upload some and see what is good.


I also have 2 KC Brains seeds in Veg now. One of them looks like pure indica and is branching out of some of the leaf stems. It's pretty weird, looks like there are bud sites all up and down the main stalk.

Ok, enough text.... I promise my next one will have pictures....

thought you couldn't transplant during flower? what do you mean back n forth on 5gal what's your default? wondering if i should transplant before flowering or if the roots will stop, got some in 5gal right now -- its fine on those pics takes me awhile because i need my laptop for its memory slot as well... ill show you my White Fire in a little that's too big for 5gal i think...

sorry, we must be confusing each other.I only transplant once, from a 1 gallon into either a 3,5 or 7 gal smart pot depending on the strain and how long I veg.

I just got 2- 100 gallon smart pots for my greenhouse.

Here is a picture of my KC Brains (#5) I don't know the strain, but so far so good. I took clones and they rooted in about 5 days, didn't droop at all... very sturdy.If you look close you can see there are 2 additional branches growing from the leaf stem

ok, so it's been a while... been busy.

Here are a few pictures I snapped today.



1- Black Widow (~59 of 70 Days Flower)

1- Mendo Purp (36 of 56 Days Flower)

1- Mendo Purp (19 of 56 Days Flower)
DSC_0407.jpg

1- Exodus Cheese (10 of 63 Days Flower)

No pictures, not much to say about it yet. I will have a better idea of what is going on next week. But as of right now, it's big. I topped it a couple times, because I wasn't expecting it to grow so fast. It's looking great so far and my clones for my outdoor grow are looking great 4 days in.

I also cut some clones from my KC Brains, took about 10 days to fully root. The EC looks to be catching on quick, probably root a couple days faster than the KC.

I should receive my 100 Gallon Smart Pots for my greenhouse grow here in the next couple days. I am 100% organic on my outdoor grows and I mix my own soils for that (Very close to SubCool's Super Soil) I have it all sitting and mixed, just waiting to get the pots then fill them and let it rest for a while longer. And depending on the weather I should be planting on or just after the middle of March
