Well Here Goes Again

So I'm a fucking idiot on this one. I used a tester and had juice. Since the bulb didn't work I tried a HPS. No fire, so I tried the MH to see if the starter somehow failed. It fired, but I did screw it in tighter. It was a new socket and I didn't want to break my CMH bulb by over tightening it. It fired up once it was fully seated in there.

Glad I could by of help.

I upcanned #2, #3, & #6 into their 1 gallon pots and got them into this chamber under the 400W CMH. 21" from the bulb. Look at how #6 is now as tall as #2. It wasn't yesterday. I'll get the others done tomorrow. I put 5 clones under the 250W CMH with #1, #4, #5.
I'll get the 4 SS into 4" sq. pots tonight still.

lookin real nice man!

great job brother, they all look happy and healthy, ready to fill your lungs!!

I agree they look happy as can be. Your pics are a great representation of just how white that CMH bulb is. I looked back at a few of your older HPS pics and how yellow they look. I'm not expecting huge growth until my babies roots hit water and nutes so I remain patient. But then I haven't peeked in on them yet.

Lookin good as always... I gotta learn your magic with the 150w.

Up-canning, feeding, & prepping to put a pair in the Fridge where the Queens were, then Marge was. 41 grams was her final weight BTW.
Minor experiment for the clones today. Back with pics and news for who went where. Any guesses?

So I up-canned #4 & #5. #1 can wait a few days. #5 is my favorite and I put it into a Japanese Laceleaf Maple pot.
I'm loving this new hood. I'm holding 1 or 2 degrees over the clone area and same for veg table. Everything is 5 to 7 lower. Ballast moved further away is some. Once again LOVE these CMH.

I re-set the timers on the fridge to 18/6. I'm watching the temps today but looking good so far. Only problem I'm seeing so far is the thermometer sitting on the shelf where pots will sit is holding at 45-48 while other sensors are showing 68 to low 80's. Thinking maybe some insulation foam or maybe black layer to absorb heat. Seems like soil will stay too cold. Thinking #3 and #6 since they are the tallest and lankiest. Maybe because they are males.

The clones got an experiment today. #3-A & #6-A got 1/2 tsp. Fish Emulsion (5-1-1) w/ 1/2 tsp. Molasses / 1 Quart and #2-A, #4-A, & #5-A got 1/2 tsp. Jack's w/ 1/2 tsp. Epsom Tea/ 2 Quarts (so a 25% dose). We'll see which does better.

I got the four Super Skunk seedlings into 4" sq. pots too.

Thanks, but you guys laid some impressive tracks to keep the train on.

So if anyone was going to guess all 6 stay in the same car on the train, you would have been right.

I was planning on waiting till the six clones showed sexes first to flower these. Yesterday this testing to use the fridge isn't working well. Remote Thermometers are reading acceptable #'s, yet an old school one is holding just under 50 right at canopy level. Radiant heat is making those small leads read higher. I'll end up stunting the 2 I was gonna put in there.
So now I'm thinking I'll Lst these some and start working them down into the next week, two at the most.

Sure hope those clones start showing some new growth soon.

Don't want to try and heat the iNtake air supply anyhow?

Been stewing over this all day. The concrete is so cold and heating the area would burn a ton of power. The airflow is to deal with such higher temps as in lowest setting for timers is 15/15. I guess I could try that but IDK if a combination would even do it. Too cold to work out there for long too. If it was my only place to grow I'm sure I could get it.
Noel in the FrigiDare is already worrying me. Soil is too cold but temps are 65 to 80's. Thinking if I can get that better for 3 more weeks.

try a heating pad under the pots. could be a cheap easy fix

Or look for a twin sized waterbed on Craigslist that has a heating pad as well.

well i was thinking warm the air it intakes with something you already have. for instance, do you have an actual freezer in the area, or something else that expels heat, in the area of your fridges? basically you could rig your intake with ducting and flanges to the area of heat expulsion to make use of that wasted energy. if you have a dryer, that may make a great source of humidity for certain time periods. but then you would have to put y's and what not in ducting to accommodate the dryer vent. i may have mentioned the 60 watt incandescent or halogen light wrapped with HVAC metal tape placed in the air path('s). just a few idea's. maybe you run ducting from your other grow areas and use their exhaust as the frig's intake. not sure the HG is gonna like me giving you all these ideas relating to cutting ducting in from the basement to the garage. but you can tell her its GREEN

you notice my continued mispelling of frig, fridge, or something there of. the green machine!!!
