That TD is looking juicy, how much longer do you reckon she’s got?

hi all ,well yesterday i found the dreaded budrot had got the mystery auto in the tiny veg cab,mostly my own fault as i turned extraction right down low and turned the fan off due to adding the fresh cut clones too root in there forgetting about the auto flowering,plonker! 
ended up throwing most of it in the incinerator and then had the worry that the tangerine dream at 60 days 12-12 was in the next door drobe but a close look and i see no sign of rot in there.
but did remove the 11 most mature buds and opened up the airflow masses round the remainder and shall try get it through to maturity,i hope.
also had a move around and now the smaller drobe has the growers choice bruce banner fem and there tropic punch fem as there around the same height atm and growth rate is similar they will both be trained for scrogging for the next 2 weeks and then flipped.
i shall get pics tomorrow so do look in,peace all
thanks for looking in.

hi all well feeling a little better now ive ensured the best 11 buds from the tangerine dream have been removed and trimmed and now hanging to dry in the tiny veg cab average temp is low but so is rh compared to the room rh the drobes are in so i expect a long slow drying time but no rush as ive some weed and oil for my tina.
the remainder of the tangie has greatly increased airflow and the climate control has turned the heater on so rh is low as can be and she has a week or 2 to fatten up before the next run is big enough to change places,i shall likely reveg her again and clone her as she really is a very tough reliable potent sticky bitch!
so theres pics from all 3 drobes most are labeled for clarity so heres a tune and my pics,enjoy both and thanks for looking in,peace all
thats all folks!!!

hi all today i switch the timer to 12-12 for 2x growers choice bruce banner fems in my smaller flower drobe they are nice bushy ones about the same height at this time but sure that will change one in particular seems very keen to make flowers and has quite a lot of preflowers so i made the move and think maybe its wise not to overveg these as in drobes stretch can be challenging also being the first run of these i am adding the net for support but not training scrog this time just want to see what they grow like.
the 11 buds i harvested from my barneys tangerine dream last week are drying nice and slow and steady and smell sooooooooo nice!
we need smellyvision app!
going to get pics tonight once lights kick in so do look in,peace

hi all well update as follows, firstly the tangerine dream from barneys farm made it to 67 days true flower and was seed and budrot free all a man can ask for in the way of trichome production,smell,and dense buds although not huge there midsize and rot free,better than rotten donkey dicks!
so im pleased enough with her.
her replacement in the bigger drobe are 1 x growers choice tropic punch and 1 x growers choice bruce banner fem photoperiods each in 9ltr airpots of coco and fed dutch pro grow nutes for hardwater at 1.2 ec ph varied daily.
theres some pics from the now very full again tiny veg cab and then the smaller drobe with another 2 bruce banner fems 2 very different phenos a big leaved fatty and a multi branched smaller leaf pheno so should make it interesting growise!
pics enjoy.
thanks for looking in,peace

hi all well 2 drobe drying lines for me for smoke and 5 trays in the dehydrator for the oil run,i am expecting good things from the oil run as she is so very sticky and greasy,made me change gloves 3 times and clean scissors 5 times! heres a few pics from the drobes taken tonight at lights on most are labeled for clarity,except most of the damn clones!guesswork it is then,

hi all well i have had to rethink my drobes re the lighting as the leds even on full do not give adequate heat and the climate control has to switch on the heaters 24/7 for the last week or so and i feel this is just a step to far cost wise and without the benefit of extra light.
so i have so far fitted both the 250w led and a 250w hps in the smaller drobe over the 2x bruce banners which have been in flower a few weeks and sad and leggy due to the cold,of course i shant find out till later tonight if it works and may need to use seperate timers and alternate from led to hps in order to control temps but we shall see!
also planning to do similar in the bigger drobe but that needs some careful juggling and pursuade my tina to swap leds her 120w she has for houseplants for my big qb from bigger drobe,then i should fit that and the 250w hps in there,boy this lark keeps me working,and thinking 
or i could steal the 120w qb from the tiny veg cab and refit the cfls, i shall try and get some pics later theres buds visible now and plants are mostly the right colour now!
peace all.

hi all well after much jiggery pokery and some swearing i managed to squeeze an hps and the leds in both flower drobes as you can see in the pics the plants have stressed due to the cold and abnormal stretch is the result.
i do not like led in winter and think maybe the combo will work a bit better atleast when lights are on its warm enough for the climate control not to switch the heaters on and being as both leds are dimmable i can juggle temps a little if it proves too warm using both.
without further adoe heres a few pics sort of before and after light changes and showing stats improved,electric cost not so much!
but needs must as in drobes stretch can be a real problem,cheers all
happy growing to all,hope it gets warmer soon!!!

hi all well today i got this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175119888246 … 4307051859 it seems to work ok and im hoping it will smooth the temps a bit better than my cheapo dimmer type does as if you turn it down far it got noisy,this one it stays silent right to the lowest setting and i tested it just by moving it nearer to the hps and you hear it speed up quick,slows down nice and gradual and quiet.
theres some nice growth in the drobes now since adding back the good old hps,electric cost be damned 
went in with 1.5ec again tonight and so far they seem to be enjoying it!
will report findings as we go,cheers
24hrs on
hi all so far it seems like a good bit of kit i checked the stats overnight when lights are on and it seems to have kept them where i set it at 28c,i like the way you get to manualy set the minimum fan speed set the required temps and it does the rest sweet and even down real low the 5inch rvk is quiet,it wasnt on the old fan speed control one of the cheap dimmer types.
of course it remains to be seen how long it lasts but so far a nice easy to use bit of kit.
the plants are positively flying now and i lollipoped the bruces and the tropic punch tonight which smells so strong and only a couple of weeks into flower so a good sign,funny its 2 weeks younger than the bruce banner its sharing with but you cannot tell both look similar so far.
i shall get some pics tomorrow but been busy trying to figure out why tinas powerchair quit and its being a right royal pain in the arse! give me a nervous breakdance it does!!! need spliff,take care

right well this slacker finally remembered to charge the camera battery,only took a week this time…
anyhow theres pics from all 3 drobes mostly labeled for clarity and saves me writing lots,relieved aye?
so far so good very pleased with growth since adding back the hps,however the missus is a bit cross about the cost of the power but i see it as an essential and imo if i cannot do it properly its more of a waste trying. bless her she dont get it really.
anyhow heres lots of pics and a tune,enjoy and thanks for looking in again. peace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_HEdDFGfhI

hi all just a quick picture update tonight as i managed to sneek away from the baby long enough to snap a few pics from my drobes but sadly due to all the kids kit piled up in my drobe room i cant get nowhere near drobes till bedtime and then the damn hps is on and im not keen on hps pics but needs must atm!
fiddled with some camera setting to try compensate a little for the hps,then gave up cos they looked worse and posted as is.
so far im pleased with these growers choice genetics being the first time ive grown them,the tropic punch is a real stunner and bold grower,2 weeks younger than the bruce banner its sharing with and has the 120w qb over it,bruce has 250w hps but markedly smaller and less developed.
in the smaller drobe the 2 x bruce banner are still poles apart so different its hard to fathom.
anyhow very pleased with the climate control gizmo i got for the smaller drobe keeps it spot on 28-29c and less than £50 a bargain.
some from the tiny very full despite severe pruning veg cab,must stop feeding so often,
thanks for looking in and stay stoned,i will!

hi all well some great smells are generating from the drobes now all 3 bruce banners smell different look different and grow different but all 3 are healthy and flowering nicely theres some pics here just from the 2 flowering drobes showing first the growers choice tropic punch (2 weeks younger than rest)
and the bruce banner no1 its sharing the bigger drobe with ,this one smells like carrots.
the tropic punch smells like fruit salad with a peppery hint like og kush,
in the smaller drobe is the other 2 bruce banners and as said very different phenos still a short fat barely branched one and a wide spreading one though this was started off training for scrog grow so maybe this explains some of the difference,the other is untrained and not topped as it was smaller.
feeds stats etc are all in the pics so heres a tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgPLRDisQgk and some hopefully in focus pics,peace all and happy new year to all.
so thanks for looking in and happy growing to all,peace

Frosty goodness abounds in your drobes, @duke 
I’m wishing I hadn’t passed those Bruce Banners on to Afton now, lol!

hi all so far the tropic punch is a super looking and strong grower and smell is vast now,have to be very fast taking pics or it stinks the house out real quick!
the bruce banners are all doing ok though its hard to think they are all the same strain as they so very different in every way,growth pattern,smell entirely different.
def pleased with the added climate control in the smaller drobe and just praying to keep free of budrot this time and been anal about removing old leaves and even thinned the canopy a tad something i never do with the tangerine dream and never had vast amounts of rot.
anyhow i tried half successfully to get some decent pics before lights on but the sodding hps came on for the first bunch but smaller drobe budporn is sooooooo sexxxxxyyyyyy!!!
im looking forward to sampling these soon,cheers for visit and i hope you and all have a happy and prosperous new year with bags of weed.
cheers all,be well.
