Chez Calix - Journey of a Junior grower

I have a Barr on top of tent with a digitital Timer for the lights and exhaust fan, then I have the extension cord going To the daisy plug on light, and I run all the fans off the bar.

I’m still learning! On my third grow now in under 12months! These could have been in flower over 6 weeks ago lol! I have been vegging them for 4 months lol

I know, they popped Fromm seed beginning of August…
And I had some sativa dominants in flower tent that’s ran a lot longer than I wanted.

I was gonna keep em for mothers but decided to flip them after discussion with Some OGERS

I think they’ll be fine. I haven’t had them on a rigorous feeding schedule.

SOrry. August, September. October’s. So 3 momths n 2 weeks maybe

Yeah I was wondering what to do next run, I am going to try to squeeze four in the tent, I might veg the same time but prune more aggressively. I am 20 days or so from harvest but no where to veg new plants so my grow buddy is waiting to cut me some clones till I finish this run. My diary is “A couple things”

Thanks for stop ing by mine. I was over at yours …I will check in again!

I tried 4 . Had to.move.one out (see first run) ended up moving one out by self self in spring to the garage under one. Light no tent.

Second grow. 4 again Lol 3 sourjacks 1 birthday cake.ran all 4 in there… severe Pm took over the bday cake …I harvested and tossed it a.didnt salvage a joint. and effected others a little bit.not much loss though

This.third veg run I had 3 in there too long and one got too big so I just bumped it out
My 2*4 is going to be perfect to flower 2… but I can veg 4 lol… Just need to figure a way to stagger the 4 veg. Either start 2 early 2 late…and stunt /delay growth on two…I’d like to flower 4 plants that have a.short veg. Cycle

My problem was wide 7 gal.pots . … I’m going to try out the tall narrow pots to try and save sqft on floor…but we’ll see…I like my style and hope to stick with it…short n squat

Good luck and see you on your diary !

@Mr.Sparkle - CinderEvil has started to crack her shell!
@Oldjoints 1/3 og/bubba has started to show its tail!!!

Going tobe have to set up my veg tent tomorrow…which means disassembly in garage and re assemble in basement with another pallet

It’s going to be worth it though ! I had the 2 tents set up before . Just concerned about heating two while lights out . I may have to find a way to over lap the timing so I can take the heater from flower tent and put in veg tent…gonna have to do 20-4 though. So lights out 8pm-midnight I guess

Or just buy another’s space heater fan.
P.s.
The tent maintains a 15-16.5 c temp with the heater fan on low running 5 min ON 25 min off cycle.

Well everything is dried . A few different levels of dry ness in different jars. I prefer a bit of freshness.

I find leaving the stalk in with the jars allows for.some moisture retention . . . Is this bro science ? Lol

I still have one more load left in the flower tent strung up drying - un- trimmed … I will have to tackle that tomorrow for my final tally on the 3 sour jacks I grew. . . And to also free up the tent tent to start the veg cycle.

Im thinking 5-7 oz from 3 plants. Less a pile of lowers I trashed while trimming . . .not.the best yield but not complaining …all in due time

What Calix has in flower (day 1 NOV 11)

  • 1 L.A. confidential
  • 1 Blue monster

What’s Calix growing next? (Germination stage)

  • 1 Cinderevil Fem Auto from Mr.Sparkle
  • 3 reg beans OG OR BUBBA KUSH variaty from Oldjoints NEED SEEDS SEED give away
  • 1 Blueberry feminized seed by 00 Seeds

WIll share update tomorrow afternoon once the Veg tent has been assembled next to My flower tent. I have to pick up some solo cups and bring some soil in from garage.

All the seeds should be ready to plant ( blueberry might be a bit behind ) been waiting to plant a blueberry for a long time.

My hope is to do a 4 week veg to keep size down , add 2 weeks for fuck ups ( root bound, deficiency’s, and stress training)

Bein ready to perpetually grow the next batch as the current flowering girls finish, if not, add in a couple !

Be back with a VEG tent photo shoot tomorrow and germ progres.

Hopefully get that CINDEREVIL into a solo cup ASAP of promix then transplant to a 3 gal grow bag of Halloween LIVING SOIL

Well. No tent set up up. Neignours are doing electrical work . Don’t wanna haul tent through back yard.to.houuse lol.

The laundry room is doubling well a as grow room

Everything has cracked except blue berry

I’m. Not sure how long you want the tails of the seeds but I figure they are out so may as well drop em

As I was unwrapping the paper towel .and seen the seed
I actually watched.the tail emerge from the shell !

Is the dome. Okay for now with port holes fully.open?

Awesome - thanks!

I might actually be Able to pull off using this room to veg in lol…see what woman says tonight when shes sees it.

Should. I do 24-0 until it pops ?

I’m sure roots probably do alot of work in the dark. .

Just thinking in terms of heat from the light.

Love this part. Watching them pop is the best lol

Looks like you got 3/3 on those…. Awesome!

I’d say keep them warm i sprout under 24 hr lights but that’s just me might be advantages to a dark period .

Yes!

I will do these seeds justice!

My first time growing regs.

Can’t say I know much about it! Will def be cataloguing they’re growth!

Kind of hoping for male to get some pollen ! That would be crazy !!! ( Can’t say I will 100% keep it - but the idea is cool)

This is just till I set up my veg tent .

Until they are above ground the most important thing is warmth. Once above ground I like 24-0 better as I personally think in that stage the more light the better.

Alright !!! Sounds good to me.
The only issue is I have a auto plant in there… I’m sure it will do.its thing under any light schedule …but I can’t accomodate all 3 lighting schedules lol. 12/12. 20-4 and 24-0.

Yes your auto will be fine and do it’s thing normally under 24-0.

Yeah it will do its thing under whatever you give it, so should be fine with whatever you run it under.
