Marketplace always has the hook ups.
I got this viparspectra 300 for $15 AND it daisy chain hooks to the cheap ( well more so cheap ) no brand light.
So I’m gonna run 2 flower spots this year to try and get ahead. After my next harvest I’ll upgrade the lights and some other equipment. I’m about to buy a hannah or blue lab ph meter and stock up on air pots next week.
Yeah I’m stoked. I just got my dream job so I figured why not spoil myself, then I found it on a payment plan so now I can still spoil myself with something else lmao
I’m thinking of breaking out my other 4x2. Its smaller in height but I could use the gorilla for the pick of the litter and the other for the rest. Trying to use the shower for flower in any season other than winter just isnt gonna work I’ve come to terms with that.
So I kept those few branches that had bananas on them from the wedding cake and dried them out just to see how things might be if it takes a turn for the worst and i have to chop.
Conclusion: definitely to speedy for an indica high ( duh to early) but not a bad speedy high. The inhale is a tad harsh which I expected it to be more so since there was no flush with these , but I cant really taste it because of that. The exhale though is a nice sweet creamy taste somewhat reminding of a zebra cake.
I checked the trichromes and its leaning cloudy with a little clear but no Amber yet. I also havent seen any new nanners in the past few days so I might be in the clear.
I hit the seedlings with their first true feeding. A top dress of mother earth grow following with a water of trinity and Fish shit.
I can tell the PL is gonna need more nitrogen then the Kashmir. They’re yellowing up on the lower leaves quick. I’m giving them a half strength feed of green goddess today.
The lucky charms just got some roots excel gold and I havent touched the purple princess yet. That’s a fem seed I started just incase my male/female ratio doesnt plant out the way I’m hoping. With the lucky charms having green crack in the lineage I’m thinking of keeping one in rotation for a few rounds.
Then last night I gave all 3 plants in flower a feeding I modified so I can cut way down on nitrogen since I’m going into week 6.
King kola, honey comb, Trinity, HP2 and cal mag ( both roots organic) mammoth, and Ultimate PK from mills. Hp2 is a seabird and bat guano liquid at 0-4-0 nd ultimate PK has an NPK of 0-7-6.
I’ll be substituting trinity for green goddess for the remainder of the grow for the beneficial humic/fulvic acids. It also contains molasses and Yucca.
Yes I am and following the chart on them I do think I will use green goddess flower nutes when I get to that point with this grow I’ve got 2 GDP in dirt and 1 monster Kush 1 blackberry Kush and 2 blueberry 60 day auto and in germ stage in a petrie dish when they go into the dirt they will get the same treatment as the GDP except they will be under 400 watt MH
Some shots of the flowering plants.
I’m gonna give the wedding cake 2 more feeds and be done.
The blue cindy has like no orange hairs yet. I have a feeling shes gonna push 10 weeks
Wedding cake
I got these stakes from lowes to try and put a garden fence up outside for my peppers. Needless to say it didnt work soooo I’m gonna use them for LST. I FIMed everything except the newer seedlings and bent them over/lowered the light a little bit.
Decided to just start the flush on the wedding cake. I dont really see any more bananas coming out but I can tell theres a few seeds forming . The trichromes arent far off. Mostly cloudy barely any clear just no Amber yet. The hairs are receding more and changing colors, she just hasnt put that weight on yet. I’ll try and push the flush for 14 days but I have a feeling I’ll have to take her down in 10 or less if I want more bud to seed ratio
Well I ended up seeing seeds forming on the blue cindy as well so instead of just moving her I decided fuck it, it is what it is, and moved them all to the back shower again to let them finish and whatever happens happens. They’ll end up personal use only if they end up to seeded.
It’s a good thing I did move them because when I went to adjust the blurple lights, the no brand name power cord was really hot and some had melted. So I ditched that and just put the hlg in there even tho it’s not the right Kelvin itll do for now. Its lights out but I’ll post pics soon .
That means all the other plants are now in the tent under the 260w QB. I dimmed it down to about half power and left it at 22 inches above canopy.
My lesson has been learned. No flowering in that shower until I either get my central a.c fixed or its winter. I have another 4x2 I could break out but it’s cheaper and smaller in height. I’m just going to grab another gorilla but a 3x3 this time.
About 6 days ago I took another sample off the wedding cake. Definitely closer to what I’m looking for but still no relaxation and I’ve come across like 6 seeds in the small amount I did harvest.
I spent about an hour trimming up all the larf that were never gonna make it and preparing everyone for harvest in Hope’s theyll spend whatever energy they are towards swelling in these final weeks. I went through with some tweezers and snipped out any seeds I saw as well. Not sure what that might do but I did it lol.
Now I’m in the market for another flower light. I love the qbs but I might go Cob or even try out mars hydro tsl 2000. We’ll see.
Starting to notice more and more pinholes in my tent
I shouldve spent the extra money on the OG instead of the lite line. Oh well. Its gonna be another 2 weeks or so before I push anything else into flower. I’ll probably switch the closet to a flower spot and just shut that room off entirely until lights on. That way I’m not pulling shit out of my ass to try and make the shower environment optimal.
Sounds like a plan. Up next, purchasing the v2 rspec 300. I’ll probably grab that today as a matter of fact.
No pics but all 4 of the tc99 are germinated and planted and 2 of the lowdak have been planted
The traits of the Panama/kashmir are starting to come out. If my usual predictions are correct I’ll end up with 2 female of the kashmir and maybe 2 of the panama but one is iffy. Place your bets now! The closest guess gets a 3 pack of gelato
