Any news on the rainbow belts?
Not much yet. Still in veg. I think theres 2 going right now is a little farther along than the other. The one farther along should be going in sometime soon.

how long did this one go for? im about to pop half a pack. Thanks for any insight.
I had 2 similar phenos. Only real difference was bud structure and slightly different growth patterns. One had longer fluffier buds the other veryyyy dense smaller nugs. Both had this oniony garlicky smell. 1 had this beautiful tropical fruit aroma the first half of flower, but it was way far gone come the end of flower. Not as stretchy as i thought itd be, infact it did little stretching. Nice smoke overall. Still have 3/4 pack to go through.

Seems I missed your question in my inistal reply. They were both done around 10.5 weeks. Went a couple days past 11 once and didn't get much difference.

Still trying to get my shit together. Fucked up on my ac install. Partially missed with my weather stripping, like it held for 24ish hours and then blew out. So now 2 sides of my vent are pouring heat back into my room... had to shut everything down until I can get it fixed in the morning. Humid as fuck in there. Worried I may have to cull everything and start over due to mold and or herms. Havent found any mold or herms since the last 2 ordeals, but tonight sure isnt fonna help anything. This weeks been a fucking rollercoaster.

Plants that had been sweat out and ready for bags ate soaking wet again. I think, I hope rather, tomorrow shit gets sorted out and back on track.

hey thanks. Glad to hear it doesnt stretch too much. I can handle some stretching, but it gets pretty annoying pretty quick, lol.

Man I'm so lost. I'm gonna explain my setup and maybe someone can help me out, cause I really dont know.

I've posted this pic before but just using it as a reference.

20181212_210459.jpg

This is my little setup. Veg side on the left (2 x 5ish) flower on the right (4 x 6ish). The flower side is exhausted by a 6" canfan, which is exhausted outside.

Also theres a 4" duct fan blowing from flower to veg. Theres a 6" duct fan blowing from veg to flower. Now during the winter theres another window I'd pop open everything would stay cool and humidity wasnt a problem, even during rain.

Now its 75 outside and I cant just use the window. So I hooked up a dual portable ac. Its exhausted on the same window the canfan is.

Temps are no problem. I mean it keeps it icy cold. But the humidity hasnt been below 70% in over a week. Found a few spots of PM and I've accepted ima have to crop a few of these plants until I get this figured out.

But I need to get it figured out. Why wont the humidity go down?? I've tried running my dehuy, ran it all night last night, along with the ac, 84% rh in the closet this morning. The ac/dehuy are in the bathroom the closet is in. I'm stumped. I've tried every combination of the ac hoses, intake hooked to outside, not hooked up. No difference. Even turned on the house ac to try to lower it. After 6 hours of it being on I'm sitting at 70%..

Any advice? I'm ready to toss in the towel, too much fucking stress right now. I just dont understand why the humidity won't fucking go down...

Everything is finally all good. Well environment wise. Flower tent has so goddamned many seeds in it it's not funny, but it beats mold I suppose.

The issue was, the exhaust was being choked, not enough intake for it to remove air. Then with all doors open it was making my house ac run 15 minutes cycles set at 71 when it was 73 degrees outside. When it hit 77 it barely shut off.

So, I now exhaust from the closet to the bathroom, which houses the ac and dehumidifer. Sealed off the ac vent so I dont get positive room pressure when the house ac kicks on. Hopefully it gets enough fresh air/co2 from me being in there and opening the bathroom door 10-15 times a day.

Really glad to have some happy plants again though.

Woth environment fully in check guess theres no where to go from here but up. Cant wait to get everything that has hermed out and some fresh clones in and see what I get.

Sad day. 13 gals getting the axe. All hermd out or at least were seeded up. All my fault, no genetic issues. Also lost 4 others not pictured, much bigger plants too. Prolly lost 25oz at least but meh, onward and upward.

4 gg4 s1s, 4 sugarberry cones, 2 cherry on top, 2 fire og x geist grow og, 1 black lemon cake.

One of the sugarberry scones. First time I've seen this mutation on one of my plants.

20190501_200035.jpg

Tossed at 7 weeks on the head.

20190501_200048.jpg

But theres potential cant wait to run the clone, these grape pie crosses seem to throw a ton of frost.

20190501_191010.jpg

Someone on the forum posted this mutation not to long ago, again first time I'm seeing this one as well.

20190501_192318.jpg

20190501_192329.jpg

And some funky monster fans from a cookies n chem, this one is still in veg.

20190501_195240.jpg

Also as soon s I return the second portable I'm gonna pick up a 12kish btu window unit and build an exhaust/intake box and throw a fan on it. Dont know how many times I read it, but people, dont buy a portable. Or get something like a quik cool if you have too.

Damn near all caught up. Only have 2 plants to stake up and do a little lollipopping and I think I'm done. Edit; yeah right, forgot all about trimming...

14 clones taken over the last week or so finally put in coco.

20190502_231556.jpg

13 clones finally uppotted and put into veg. Well not quite into veg in this pic, they got about 10 hours down here to help with stress.

20190502_225021.jpg

Flower side just a little empty. Just put a bunch of plants in it should start filling in. Of not I have a few more I can toss in.

2-3 of the plants in the back have a seed here and there but no balls or nanners, thankfully. Pretty sure I got rid of all the herms, just waiting on residual pollen to settle.

Need to get in there and tidy up. All those hanging wires just blocking light.. maybe one day.

20190503_000820.jpg

Veg side. Excuse the sloppy seedlings up front, I ran out of coco and put them in some soil, but have been watering like there in coco, whoops.

And theres a sugarberry scone in there revegging, the clone I took passed and there were no more side branches.

2 that I didnt cull mainly because they were so close to done. These have both endured a ton of stress, and still dont look terrible.

Twisted bananas. Cant wait to run the clone, the smells off this thing ate wicked, almost like a sweet banana runt type deal.

20190504_000202.jpg

And golato 45 x platinum kush mints. Smells are rather mute on this one, prolly only run the clone once unless a less stressful lifestyle changes her drastically.

Anybody fuck with crypto? I started buying in sept/18, sold most of it when it dropped shortly after, and have been buying slowly since the drop.

Anyone think the next bull run is starting? Some folks saying retrace to 5.5-6k but I don't see it. If it hits the media and the general public gets involved I think it's on.

I've got fomo pretty bad, lol, I cant quit buying the shit. But I've had 2 occasions I'm looking at a coin thinking I should drop 1000-1500 on a quick flip, didnt do it, and woulda made close to 500 if i woulda done it. Ah well, back to staring coinbase.

No pics right now. 19 uppots today, 4 to go tomorrow, and gotta do clones. This shit was cake pre child, now it's like I cant catch up.

Finally got the window ac boxed up. Not installed but should be tomorrow. Heres to hoping a 6k is enough, the box isnt so bad to build, finding the time, and hiding what you're doing from your neighbor while running a table saw is kinda the hard part.

Finally got my ac installed... dont have kids people.. dont know wtf I got excited for this shit is for the goddamned birds. I mean I love him and what not but fuckkkkk this. Gotta sit around and wait on my fucking alarm to go off and go to work, why in the actual fuck do people do this? Already made my appointment to get snipped, that'll be fun, but sooooooooooooo worth it.
I feel you dude, I’ve had to move my grow two times after having my son and each new environment created disasters for my plants, cloner, and me.

I'm glad, not really, that someone else knows the pain. Its just been rough. The stress of a newborn on top of a messed up grow was really screwing with me. I wanted to quit growing so many times, but that's just not an option, not until it's legal at least. Even then I'll grow my own.

Was really trying a couple different things to ramp up production too, then everything goes to shit. Really starting to feel it right about now too, cropped the g45 x pkm and twisted bananas from above, and that's been it for like 4 weeks. Both are so full of seeds it's crazy. Had a stash but that's about dried up. Have to turn pretty much all customers away so I have some smoke. Should turn around shortly, 3-4 big, to me, plants coming down over the next 2 weeks should get me back on top.

Still have a couple things out of whack, not environment wise, but electricity usage wise. Pretty sure switching this portable ac for a window unit is gonna get everything straightened out. The dehuy and ac both pretty much constantly cycle with one another.

Thanks for the response, sorry for the novel, lol. Shot these tonight. Happy growing my man.

Sweet bread pulled tonight for chop tomorrow. Tiny ass buds full of seeds im sure. This SHOULD be the last seeded plant I have.

Twisted bananas. Very nice smell, sweetish type deal. Taste would be amazing after a cure. Havent found a seed yet, surprisingly, but you can see a banana in the pic. We'll see what the clone run brings.

Trying to accommodate my very emotional gf I moved some things around and lost ALL my mothers. Had a friend starting them over and they were in horrible condition when I got them. Then once he came I had to move things around again. And I still haven’t been able to make the optimum environment. Risk of mold, temp problems, space etc. I’m focusing on my switch to LED and nute change while I’m waiting for my new space to be ready. It’s a struggle but ATLEAST it’s because of our child, wouldn’t change it but I def could’ve waited a little longer
