Pcinla, so you and Miley brought down the house eh?

"Eh?" Jela's turned into a Canadian! (Memo: Vietnam war is over). Thanks for the write-up on Canna PK 13/14. If I can't get it at a local hydro store, I found it on Amazon. (I'm also interested in that Cannazyme you refer to). Also, thanks for the description on when to apply it. I noticed you referred to its use during 12/12. I use the gas lantern routine, so I go 10-14 during flower. I'm guessing that might skew the time frames you refer to. As for the Alice Cooper vid, it's funny but I emailed my 15 year old son some of Coop's early songs (Under My Wheels; Be My Lover) recently, and he wrote back that musically he was blown away by the old Alice Cooper Band and had new respect for him. Despite the fact bands like Led Zeppelin and The Who packed it in well before he was born, my son is very much into the music from that era (took him to Neil Young last year) and actually his hair is much like Paige's in the "Bring It On Home" video. He detests current music for the most part. His 12 year old sister is the one who's into Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, etc. [video=youtube;hKUBTX9kKEo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKUBTX9kKEo[/video]

Gonna give these Boveda humidity packs a try on my next cure...I have some Barney's Farm LSD I that I want to last forever. I also have some Sharkbreath that never came up to full aroma because I used a dryer rack for the first time on "singulated" buds and they dried too fast in my environment.

Great video Jela.

I latched right onto this concept and have been using the
small 62% packs for about six months. No complaints. :0)

Thanks for sharing.

quite the sales spin on that...but yes it will work but this would not be my choice.

I believe you need a humidor to store your jars....plastic food coolers are often called "coolidors".....so it's allot simpler and effective to control the environment that you store your jars in.

I have a 30L Coleman food cooler, I can control the humidity within it with a mere "puck"....so if your jars are lets say are at 62% and you maintain the coolidor at 62%....your jars will stay consistent.

ISK, awesome concept with the "coolidors". I've always suspected that one jar in the bunch doesn't seal right when in a hurry and you have over a dozen jars to burp...the cooler trick would provide that 2nd level of protection. Thanks for sharing. I know where I'm headed today...gonna do some cooler shopping.

50 days, into week-8 now..My crystal ball show's another week of feeds and a week of flush....got some nutes measured out for the week at ≈10ml/gal which is considerably lower than the 15 per they were getting. They are getting that "old" look on the fans like they are sucking carbs already. Although you can't see here, red/orange pistils are forming. The smell is way up. Even with the whimpy cola's, the yeild looks promising for 2 girls, given the wall-to-wall buddage.

Nice. I am happy that the yield is more pleasing to you as things develop.

I was not sure of my yield, and am sure that my one-big-screen kept me from
feeding the more vigorous ladies as much as they might have liked.

...but when harvesting the Chem 4 OG I found that I am getting a decent
amount of the breeds that I really wanted to excel.

I am looking forward to starting the next cycle.

Thanks for sharing.

Really I only used a 400W HPS in a tent this size so two 160W LED panels doesn't make that much of a difference in electrical cost...The spread of light and the temperature in the room are my biggest bonus's. I can't grow with the HPS in my environment without sucking the air conditioning out of the room due to extra exhaust. Then I have to cool the rest of the house more to keep that room cool, then I've added $150 to my electric bill each summer month. I don't sell my produce on the street but if I did, it would only take 3oz at today's dispensary prices to pay for the lights.

HH, nice girls, yours are turning out just like mine at that age. Isn't it funny how many tops they produce? Thanks for reminding me, I haven't mentioned before the denseness or hardness of these buds...you could beat a drum with these things.

Hey all, now that I have a skunky variety in the house, my sense of smell is suddenly more attuned to things similar. Next time you pop the cap off a Carona longneck, tell me there's not a sudden unmistakable scent of skunk that dies away almost as soon as you notice it. You won't catch it going back for a sniff on the bottle...only happens on cap release. Go figure.

It's the formaldehyde, they use it as a preservative. Just one of the reasons I won't drink Corona.

Ewww..that did not turn out like expected.

I recall then the "new car smell" was identified as carcinogenic. Hilarious.

Take care,

JD

I just wrote like a paragraph and deleted it but to make a long story short.....Since I broke one of my closet sliding doors I hung up a blanket I almost burned my house down with my 175 watt that my buddy gave to me because the fan was blowing it on the light I feel you on the heat issue with that 175 watt and 400 watt going and just 2 fans my room gets pretty hot.Me and my girl just sleep down strairs because these summer nights haven't been much cooler than the days you know how california is.We keep the ac running all day but it does no justice for I live in a 2 story. It just never seems to cool down upstairs, so I will be buying a cheap 100$ personal ac unit this month

Wow, glad you and the house survived the mishap....and by all means staying comfortable in your home is more important than the plants (says my wife, LOL) She better be happy my tent is small enough that I don't sleep in there with them with a portable air conditioner just for me and the girls. I'm gonna bring that up on our next big debate, if it ever happens.

Some close ups tonight.....nice that you can take photo's under these Area-51 LED's.

Nothing better than a pretty girl, except a bunch of them, good job Jela....

54 days 12/12. Fed them today for possibly the last time...will check Sunday for trich's and start a week of flush if all is well. They smell and look very ripe...getting some yellowing fans as they start the "fade".

looking awesome as always Jela

I noticed the tips of your leaves are brown, what do you believe is the root cause? is this any concern to you?

I have the same issue with my current grow and my previous hempy bucket......in my case, I think I have been using too much Cal-Mag (5ml/4 litres)...I recently started to lower that to about 3ml

PS: my nutes have been very consistent at 7 grams of GH MaxiGrow/MaxiBloom per 4 litres
