Sour Diesel on a budget

Fucked up last night, doing a lil plant maintenance i knew the lights we're about to go off so I reached up and change the switch from timer to on. Then I forgot to change it back before I went to bed so they got about 20 hours of light. Just turn them off, will give them 12 hours of dark, then 2 hours light from 10 to midnight, and then well be back on 12s


God damn motherfucker!!!!

Gave them about 13 hrs of dark and kicked the lights on....

Weird leaf twisting and bending going on, but it could be from the fan as its more in the area it blows hardest....but i have not seen it before...

Light will be kicking off at the normal time here.... so they had 12/12 for 42 days, then 22 on, 13 off, 1 on, back to 12/12 and it started the day i Defol the crap outta her....i will be lucky af if i dont have herm or some other issues.....but burn one to the plant goddess of no hermies for me anyway....




To make myself feel better i went out to lunch to a special place that serves the biggest BLTs in the city, 1 lb per sammich, this is just half of it....mmmmmm Bacon

They got light burned yesterday.

We had a large party here with about 60 plus people last night. So yesterday before people arrived I unhooked my light, repacked all the carbon in my scrubber and had a fresh filter running so nobody smelled anything.

Now since the beginning of this grow when I would turn my potentiometer up all the way the max watts I got was about 178, couldnt turn the pot any more.

I hooked it back up exactly the way it was. Turn my potentiometer all the way up and set my height above canopyand didn't look at my watts.

I Closed things up and didn't check them until today because I just couldn't get back in there with everyone here.

Went in today and see them all burn so I checked the height above canopy and it was right, looked up at my kilowatt meter and they were pulling well over 200 Watts. I dont know what caused or how this happend.

So.....turns out i had a potentiometer that was bad. I went to check on the plants today and they were maxed out of 120 Watts... swapped out pots and now my lights will crank all the way up to 311 watts.... Before they wouldn't go above 170 ish, but heck I've never needed more than that and didn't know anything was wrong because it was the first light ive ever built lol.

Oh well, is anyone still following along? I'm kind of losing my motivation for this journal now....
