Yeah @Tinytuttle the smoke has been definitely noticeable. My wife and I have had headaches for days since it rolled in. Can’t imagine what the folks in the hills or what people California are feeling.
How bad is it up north?
I didn’t manage to shave any legs this weekend… I’m now thinking I’ll go for some lower growth pollination with the Illegal Smile pollen I have in the freezer… undecided though… I need to check dates and etc. before going for it.
Anyway here are some sloppy shots of the flower room; still adjusting to my new soilless mix:
Lots and lots of chem/OG/dank funk when I walk into this room. I’m a happy gardener. The newborn and the toddler sure take away from chore time though, gotta stay up late and clean. Maybe tonight? I-95 says I’m sitting my ass down for the day
Gelato OG clone from a buddy…One and done I think the sample he gave me is nice but it’s just kind of… eh. Ricardo if you see this… Sorry, Not Sorry
anyway she’s on bulking formula for a week then a few days of h2o before chop:
Nice setup man. You also have a nice line up of strains. That purple girl was gorgeous. I’ll be stopping in and trying to pick up what I can to help me out. Thanks man.
The Purple Aliens aren’t too happy but are only a bit away from bigger shoes which will make things a lot easier to manage.
Those Purple Chem and GMO Punch in the right hand tray all stalled out big time in root riot cubes. Idk what happened but tonight after 7 days I surgically ripped each one out and placed them into the cups of soilless. I think they’re going to come up now🤞
None were rotted and some were just starting to split… yet one of each popped up in 3 days like normal…and the rest acted up like that… Kind of odd. Send good vibes my way.
“Mother” plants that all desperately need transplants:
Chem 91 is really hard to keep happy. I’m going to have to start feeding them separately from the others, including mother. She’s the gnarly looking one… Hoping for a fresh clone to replace her.
I like how the tall plants peak out above the close LED fixture. The tiered look is cool to my eye.
So, these pics suck but this is just proof that my plants are still alive
I’m planning out restarting my hydro systems. I think early October I’ll be ready to get some clones into rockwool… I’ve decided to make the 2x2 my veg space for Hydro. I’ll be running 6 hydro buckets in flower next run and the 2x2 can support that just fine.
Another change is that I’m going to try running the system as a recirculating drip instead of Ebb.
All just words for another month at least.
I can’t wait for some pollen. If these sacks are viable it’s gonna be a gold mine. The only plant that I will immediately hit will be the Nevilles Haze female. I think everyone else will be too mature… so 90% of this will be frozen for use this fall.
Here’s a big ass StarDawg F3… basically a 3cuft hedge. 10 gallon pot.
If there’s pollen dropping next week I’ll set an entire Chem 91 and Nevilles Haze down wind for pollination and also pollinate a few branches on the Instant Cookies in mid bloom.
The rest of the spunk will be frozen and I’ll do a more coordinated seed run probably using the 2x2 tent… or not who knows. Lol.
Gotta install some foam weather stripping on the slide up front door to finish light proofing and then I can hang a light and figure out how it’s gonna work.
