not tried any other than the quick dried popcorn which turns out to have seeds in!i guess my feckup upset things more than i noticed,just hoping its only on the very tops bit of drying time still needed 9 days and been 25c and fan blowing and still damp,a good job im in no hurry,cheers horse

hi all well the harvest is done with the last coming down lastnight the diesel jones double strawberry as i found the first bit of rot so chopped binned rotten bud and the rest is layed out on the scrog net with the still drying last powerplant,just leaves outdoor in the sunroom the amnesia haze which strangely smells entirely different from either of the other 2 supposed amnesia haze,it smells fecking heavenly just a shame theres very little on it! the afghani also smells very much like i remember which is a pleasant change!
the buds off the double strawberry are truly amazing and better than i get under the 250w qb with only half the power 120w seems much better i do not claim to know why or how but im seriously thinking of downsizing the 250w boards,pics later tonight,peace all 
hi again all heres the pics from tonight in my drobes all the plants are squeezed into the bigger drobe
5 big airpots 2 with the autos rest are all the photoperiods for the next run,not a one of the 3 barneys vanilla kush have germed,going to complain.
some pics of the harvest from double strawberry and powerplant both grown in the tiny veg cab under the tiny 120w qb it took way longer than it should and finished more leafy than it would have without my fuck up of the phing for a week at 3.5 ph and they shed nearly all foliage hence regrowth took place amongst the flowers you can see the multitude of tiny single bladed leaves,buds are however very solid sticky and smell is huge! some of them are the entire width of the scrog net and as fat as my wrist (skinny wrists) the ones on net are the double strawberry and hanging above is the powerplant.
been having to dig out every container i own so not having weighed anything i can tell its more than last harvest combined from all 3 drobes as a kilo fitted in the jars last time,though did not last long once i got to oiling!
oil run yesterday took all day and i ran about 8-10 oz and got back 26 grams of lovely clean oil and of the 4 ltrs of isopropyl i reclaimed 3.9 ltrs,i still love my little diy condenser it has saved me a fortune. pics

hi all well i got around to having a weighing session with the latest harvest and found the following,
the 3 powerplant combined 512 grams
amnesia haze the 2 plants combined 260 grams
double strawberry still drying!
so add to this the 8-10 oz i oiled with oil yeild of 28 grams
all with 620w of quantum boards from our friend @Forest and one of them boards is 6 years old this year and working sweet as a nut only had 1 new dimmer switch fitted,quality.
pics if i remember sometime,going to meet my sister in town and have not seen her for 30 yrs!

hi all just a few very quick pics from the drobes taken tonight first is the autos currently in the bigger drobe followed by the tiny veg cab with the photoperiods all vegging nicely i forgot to look up how old these are now and have the grandkids here again atm and so its all a bit crazy!

hi all well a week or so on from last lot of pics and all is doing ok,had a move about and now have the autos still where they was in the bigger drobe but now have 2 photoperiods in the tiny veg cab and the other 2 in the smaller drobe all bar 1 are in 20ltr airpots of ugro coco fed dutch pro grow for the time being other than the autos now in full flower mode and fed dutch pro bloom at 1.2ec ph varied daily.
im still liking the 2 autos to a pot method and so far i have supercropped the tallest stems on all 4 and removed a few too low unlit branches is all the messing i will do.
then there 2 grape ape x gth (no idea what the gth bit is,anyone?) from conniseur genetics
then in the tiny veg cab is blue venom from g13 labs and a bangi haze from seedstockers.
the 2 grape ape are on day 2 of 12-12 as im not looking for masses of weed from these as my jars are full still atm and this grow is just mostly to stop me getting too bored,i cant handle not growing it is so much part of my dna i reckon,grow till i drop.
thanks for looking in again,peace all.

well i can say all is not overly bad the plants have very little training just been bending popping and scropping as i see fit and no net for the autos def a mistake but so far the canopy is not too uneven.
the photoperiods look somewhat better condition now i figured out the nutrients i was using are 2 years out of date, 
but i ordered some new and they had 2 feed so far and green is slightly darker now.
the 2 photos in the tiny veg cab are just so different height though age is the same and the taller one the bangi haze from ace seeds has been topped twice and i see a 3rd topping in its near future to help the smaller blue venom catch up a little before flowering them.
all of these have a short veg time for me and so the hormonal changes to induce flowering take several weeks instead of the normal week for a truly mature plant so the ones on 12-12 are at about 12 days and barely any real budsites active.
been testing the last harvest some of the powerplant and must say that curing has made a big change and smell though still strong is more pleasant and stone is very intense but not sleepy proper sativa buzz.
the oil from it is wicked strong and seems to be working well for my tinas pain which is good,nothing else works.
anyhow enough stoned babble and heres some pics of some weed in 3 drobes,peace all 
thanks for looking.

hi all well ive a few odd bits as normal and so do my plants,also as normal its the autos. one is growing budding just fine the one sharing alongside is very much smaller and less advanced clearly.
then next plant again has warts!not seen such abundance before on one trunk very odd but i do not know what causes this,anyone?
pic of affected trunk (og kush auto seedstockers)
thanks for looking in,peace all

That nubbly one looks like it is about to throw out a bunch roots from the stem. If you’ve ever had a tomato branch bend down and root to the ground it looks just like that before it roots. I’ve also seen it on weed plants before, when I painted the first couple inches of the stem with tangle foot to keep soil bugs from climbing up. I think the layer of tangle foot kept the outside of the stem nice and moist, just like being under the soil line would, so the plant reacted by trying to grow roots. I wouldn’t recommend doing it for what it’s worth, I was afraid the stem was going to rot and girdle the plant. It didn’t, but the stem was definitely way softer than normal there.

hi all a few pics for you from my 3 drobes starting with the manky autos,a sad sight at 38 days approx from germing they have fungus gnats,god knows how long between feeds and rarely see any run off at all! i noticed a problem weeks back for which i blamed myself only later finding the fault is not all my fault but a result of massive changes of water ph from the mains water and its making the feed very much more acidic than ever esp after prolonged rainy periods,meant to be ph 7.4 out of the tap but is 5.6-5.8 at such times meaning by time i add nutrients and what is my normal amount of ph down to bring it to around the 5.8 mark because i got lazy stopped checking water ph before adding nutes,not using the meters,result nutrient at 3-5 ish ph! and those puny ruderalis hybrids just cannot take it 
hence they look fecking horrid! at the moment there alive and sort of growing,on borrowed time.
in the tiny veg cab theres same 2 plants photoperiods and there blue venom and bangi haze now under the 250w dimmed down to midway and been on 12-12 for about 3 days so far have had the lower unlit crap hacked off and both are nice healthy looking girls despite the same feed as the girly pants autos.
then theres the smaller drobe with 2 x grape ape x ghost train haze photoperiods at about 4.5 weeks true flower they well one had what looked very much like male preflowers but i have lost my glasses and the magnifier some how and ended up just pulling the sus looking bunch off the stem,maybe i was wrong but having vegged them and gone thus far i shall wing it and at worst they will still make good oil,they look healthy too and also on same feed as the horrid girly ruderalis wimps!!!
anyhow i reckon ive got the climates sorted since adding the @Forest idea of a duct a computer style fan which takes the hot air from the led ballast and delivers it down in the canopy and being solar it uses the wasted light and goes just fast enough to raise temps a couple of degrees c,28c perfect for led growth.
pics and an end to the stoned waffle
thanks for looking in,peace all.

Dang doode, you cram a lot into those little spaces… impressive.
Tell Forest I’m stealing that solar powered fan idea. He really helped me get my QB’s together… I’d still be using a flashlight if he hadn’t, lol!
Sorry to hear about the pH problem… but I’m only kinda sympathetic… after you banged it into my head to check the bloody pH all the time 
I still do.
Best to Tina and the hounds!

i should practice what i preach aye!it did prompt me to calibrate my meters then i near shit myself when i dipped the tap water,5.6 out of the tap and southern water claim it stays at 7.4 they even come and took some too test but never had an actual number back,wish i had a well sometimes.
tbh i neglect the autos most times and never do as well as the photos but tops up the oil supply and stops me getting bored to death waiting for the photos to veg but means by time the photos are ready to flower im wanting to see the end of the autos so often end them rather early! tbh i dont like smoking the autos much anyway and no reason too with a few jars full of proper weed.
small space needs to be proper full. 
i did find 2 more nanas on the grape ape x gth pulled them off before they opened but worry how many im missing?we shall see i guess,cheers and stay well.

hi all well i discovered when you open your eyes you tend to notice things!who would have thought it? well as you know if you have read in here i have 2 x 250w quantum led boards from member @Forest and have been growing using them for several years now and been very pleased with results and longevity of the lights themselves.
but with age some parts just wear out and need replacing from time to time,this is the 2nd dimmer switch that has died and this i only noticed due to having swapped out the smaller drobe light and installed it in the tiny veg cab,it was 10 x brighter than the same board in the bigger drobe and yes on proper open eyed look the dimmer has gone and when it goes the light falls in output to maybe half and growth slows a lot!
thanks to forest sending me a spare dimmer free of charge i quickly soldered in the replacement and light is as bright as ever!it must be about 5-6 years old and used for the majority of that time,plants look happier,im happier! i shall get some pics taken tonight,cheers all

hi all a short update and some pics from all 3 drobes,some changes as in the 2 x watermelon punch autos got the chop one did ok the other was crap and got fed up watching it use light and food and not growing!
so in the bigger drobe now we have a blue venom photoperiod from g13 labs and the og kush auto from seedstockers still growing at god only knows age its got maybe another 2 weeks before it gets chopped and being as its now on 12-12 not expecting masses but it smells good and very sticky/shiny.
in the tiny veg cab now all on its own is an ace seeds bangi haze (with no haze in it)stupid but after some severe bending popping and whacking with a stick it is tamed enough to flower out under the now full power 250w qb.
in the smaller drobe is still the same 2 x grape ape x ghost train haze photoperiods under the 250w hps so sorry for the rather horrid pics but i never get in there before light comes on!looking good and smell nice if a bit unusual a bit like a packet of kippers when you open the drobe! cba looking up the flower times of these there cooked when there cooked the rest is just a waiting game and trying not to feck them up! pics enjoy and thanks for looking in,peace all

hi all some pics for you taken tonight and no horrid hps pics this time,tbh i could/should have taken more time and care scrogging these but i didnt and now they are well past such treatment and can only be bent and layed down as they climb up near the light,so far theres some nice budsites and they are looking healthy.the autos being gone has cheered me up as i was sick of looking at those ugly feckers!
so some pics from all 3 drobes,enjoy.

All good here Duke, good to see the perpetuemporium of delights still going. Are you using LEDS these days? I just switched to them after many moons using the hps but I see you still running a 250 hps.
