They're looking great Kilo.

Its sad Pam will soon be completely gone.
I was actually thinking about starting a plant or two in my outdoor veggie
garden, and giving it to someone who will grow it out for me.

I know a guy who has his growing license who wants me to start a couple
of plants for him, so yeah.

How's life been?

good to hear from you kitty....you should absolutely start to grow...life always will throw me curves, and yeah, I get fecking pissed, but I also enjoy the good parts of life...so hope that answers that...hehe...remember the girls want you to keep coming back...matter of fact I want you to keep coming back....

Hey KB looking great as usual.
Your plants are always such a picture of health and grow just so damn fast in your DWC set up.
The new cab looks very stealthy.
I had a similar cab once and had trouble light proofing where the double doors meet in the centre.
I solved this by attaching some timber down the centre on one door so when closed the other door overlaps it.
No more light leaks down the middle.
I've attached a diagram below to explain better.
You'll just have to create a gap in the timber to accommodate for that shelf when doors are shut.
All the best mate.

thanks for the info mam bro...I'm using the insulation and it's doing well for that fecking gap...yeah it was a pain for awhile...again thanks for the info, I'm always open to anything...good solution by the way...

Yeah you could do what mammath said to do or you could get some weather stripping and make a nice seal when the doors shut. I used weather stripping on my door and it makes for a real nice light and air proof seal

Great pics and update as usual KB. Nice snowy buds bro

Those T-5's are banging huh?

Click to expand...

gracias there boney...hope all is well with the family...I'm liking the T5's....they don't throw out too much heat and these particular fixtures are fecking quiet.....now that the intial investment for them is done, all we need is to replace the bulbs at about 5.50 each whenever, not bad.....



fecking Rosalyn's roots are still that milky kinda way and frankly it concerns me...yet her leaves and especially upper fans are springy and healthy looking except for the light burn they got from hitting them ...don't misunderstand me about the T5's ...they do generate heat, especially three of them in the one area of the cabinet, but not as much as the old CFL we used in the first two grows...and with the fan on it gets almost ideal....back to Rosalyn..hoping if anything does decide to go left, it comes in the last week or two...but I was concerned about the roots awhile back also, so...hmmmmm.....
more bud porn...till Saturday...peace

Buds are looking great KB. Lovin that resin production Oh yeah.
That is gonna be some knock out shit

so far so good...


well everyone, got bad news....went for usual maintenance on Rosalyn yesterday and when I opened her container damn, whew, smelly....and her roots had this like gel substance around them, probably inhibiting any nutes to her roots....feck, this all happened in 48 hours, because as you know I did post the concerns with said roots...well guessing that she never fully recovered from her earlier bout of rot....had to chop them down to netpot and they still don't look all that appealing...you know me I usually post pics of my girls roots, but Rosalyn's been the exception....really don't know why she's had these problems...hmmmm... and all we can do is hope she hangs on another two weeks at least...we'd prefer three but two is OK.. you'll see the buds are getting amber...feck...but we also need to move Tina....DOH......as you can see she's grown another 8 inches since flowering was induced...the upskirt pic shows she's flowering......Veronica is doing OK but again we would like to move her... and Xctasy?...welll she's wilting some but her stem is rigid and I believe I see some yellowing which would indicate she is taking......whew.....hehe......oh yeah, the cabinet, grrrrrrr, is too small......grrrr.....should have spent some some extra jack and gotten a bigger one....grrrrrrrrr.........

Damn bro thats some bad news...hope she recovers and all the other churren do well too

Damn. Sorry to hear about that Kilo.

I hope Rosalyn recovers, and the others too.

But still, your plants look better than anything I could
try growing as of now. lol. I guess I will start a few

plants soon. I'm thinking when I get some more money I will
do a little dwc in my closet. But the thing that sucks is that my closet
doesn't have a door. lmao!!!

And I will keep coming back. I love watching grow journals, especially
yours because you go so into detail and tell us everything thats happening.

I hope to be growing like that soon!

the others are fine........one of my decisions was to separate the girls just in case of events like this.....they all have their own reservoir and nutes, etc.....thank the maker and powers that be for that right now....yeah that includes G-d...well boney, if that's the biggest problem in my life, not too bad...hehe

your always welcome back.......I'll bet you'll grow just fine there kitty....



OK now for the bad news, well maybe in fact not so bad, don't know how to take this right yet as it's still sinking in.......Rosalyn is down......unfortunately, she was loosing all her older fans and frankly, the buds weren't growing since last porn and the roots looked like shite...so I decided that I did not want to lose her altogether and brought her down about three hours ago.......we moved Tina to the flowering room and trimmed her up some....Veronica is in the veg/bloom area and Xtasy is in the old grow hole, she don't look so good, am I losing my touch?....

was wondering about Rosalyn and the root shite....first I blamed myself because I changed her environment, specifically the container, went from 6 gallons of hydro to 2 gallons...but then I remember, she had rot before any of this.....she did turn out a decent yield, although I would bet, if she was 100% we have double of what you are about to see....

another reason I took her down today, I'm working weekend so will have no time for it....sigh.....alright then, she smelled excellent when trimming and I'm sure she will please as expected...


funny how I mentioned when we started to try the monthly harvest thing about one feck up and everything gets thrown off, feck we just started...hehe......although we are fortunate that we do have a yield and Tina is into her second week of flowering and Veronica can now grow out some we hope......alrighty then what can go wrong now.....hehe

figured since Rosalyn is in drying we can start to concentrate on Tina, Rosalyn's clone, and Veronica, Tina's clone as is Xtasy....feck, it's like a soap opera..hehe...the verdict is still out on Xtasy, we should know come Friday I think....

the nutes have been adjusted to approx one third the dosage in weekly intervals....and seeing that we're using a smaller container base now, the blender we be reinstated as the mixing medium for said nutes..don't want to get them roots exposed to chunks of the stuff getting caught and fecking shite up...

as you all know by now, Tina is flowering 10 days and as you can see she is showing....she looks really healthy to me and stem and roots are rock solid...by the way, I am going back to showing pictures of the girls roots, as with Rosalyn I didn't and I think I jinxed her.....yeah, yeah, dumb ass....but in any case you will see root pictures from now on...it is a fecking pain lifting the hood holding the camera without shaking my old arse off, but well worth the final effect.....

ah, just remembered, the reflective insulation has increased the cabinet's heat some...makes sense, as when when first reported we didn't have it sealed as tight as now.....lights on, fan on......it'll get a break when the girl in the veg/bloom area goes flowering.......ok now I'm pretty baked...hehe...

ok what all of you have been waiting for the pictures....

sorry to hear about her death but atleast you got something from her. just dont let her twins go down too.....

. . . . sorry to hear about Rosalyn, but still looks like a good crop for something that went askew. Well it's good to have the journal, then you have this to refer back to and learn from.

We're only human, we make mistakes. We try as best we can and carry on. I've had some good learning experiences with my shitty bagseed.

Looking at getting some descent seeds now and finally get back into it. Thinking of placing an order to Attitude.



good growing to ya KiloBit

thanks bro...as you can see the yield isn't all that, but if you look closely at the jars you should see how snowy her shite is..


well it's Saturday and we performed maintenance of the girls as we usually do..in addition, we moved Rosalyn's buds to jars for the beginning of cure...the stems were almost snapping so, bam, there they go....last time we cured added double mint, and frankly the smoke tasted like it.. this time we'll go with juicy fruit, next time we'll try both for that tutti frutti flavor...hehe....

trimmed all the shite arse leaves from both Tina and Veronica and took a couple of pics with them outside their holes...also it looks like Xtasy is pulling through although haven't seen the amount of yellowing that preceeds a good clone take.....

smoking the last of Pam's buds as I'm typing and it really is a good smoke...here's hoping Rosalyn gives just as good if not better head and we stay out of trouble with the next generation of girls......peace



DOH! edit.......as Bugs Bunny would say, "What am I dooin?".......first paper bag, then jars....sheesh.......

Hey Kilo I'm growing a strain called Killawatt right now, ever heard of it?

Both both Tina and Veronica are looking great, love their roots.

Love those blonde roots I call that a true blonde.

Those roots are effin sexy.h

hehe....yeah baby...roots rock.....


ok babies before I start, make sure you all go and see everyone's journals that post here...frankly there is some really impressive shite out there....


ok back to my girls...hehe...first off we've been curing Rosalyn for a week now...took her out of all the jars to ensure there was no mold hanging around and was left with what you see in the first picture...so decided to smoke it and give her a premature test run...hmmmm, not bad at all, considering no bud......good active high....weighed in at 1.8 oz with cure to continue for another week at least.....can't say the juicy fruit isn't noticed, yet not as powerful as the double mint was......

we are now going to maintain the girls on Friday's...reason is I just got too much crap on plate Saturday's now with guitar lessons, swimming, blah, blah, blah.....no big deal.....have to admit caring for three is a lot more work than when we were doing just one...shite......but I really enjoy it at the moment so again no big deal here...hehe..
finally got the feckig thermistor to work...threshold is set at 80 degrees.....shite, i was trying to set it up using the cool settings, NAHHHHH, after taking one back, went online and found out I needed to use the heat setting to tun the fan on....yeah, yeah...I'm fecking embarrased.......also, my 1/8 inch rope ratch's arrived which gives us added vertical space........

this week we are going to start with Veronica...as you can see, she is coming along quite nicely with minimal nute burn and a strong and fresh smelling root system......she has grown considerably since being moved to the grow/bloom area......no issues so far...we are staying with the same nute ratio of 1/3 the recommended.....

Tina, well she's looking fine as well....she's going into her 4th week of flowering tomorrow....hope she stays healthy so we can keep her around for the full 9 to 10 week flowering.....once Tina is in her final 4 weeks, we will 12/12 the lights on Veronica......again as with Veronica, the nute burn is minimal, her roots are strong and smell fresh.......some of her leaves are showing signs of heat stress, particularly the side fan leaves...not enough to concern us at this time....

this is the first time since we have been growing we didn't need to trim any leaves...a weeks worth of time....holy shite....good omen?.....please let it be so.....hehe......

now on to Xtasy....well she had us worried there for awhile, but she pulled through and her tiny roots are ready for action...today we put her into her crib and we have added nutes to her hydro...we are targeting to get her into the grow/bloom area when Veronica gets moved to the flowering area...


the best we could do for a more furniture like appearance was the contact paper you see in the last picture...absolutely the closest match we could find...it looks ok....better than the reflective material showing...

They look great as always Kilo.


kiss-ass


haha.
