James' Money-Pit Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Octopot!

Tiki Hawaiian Snow Cone sleeping on the job…

In less than an hour, she’ll have all the light she can handle. :100:

And we’re awake!

Thursdays in-tent cam shots…

Tiki Hawaiian Snow Cone is just awesome so far…

Looking down the road a bit, looks like Week 12 Flower starts on Thanksgiving day. Very likely, I may harvest her the weekend directly after Thanksgiving.

That puts her at 11+ weeks and gives me a long weekend to gear up and get shit done.

Hosting Thanksgiving at our place this year. House full of Filipinos and friends, so gonna be a mess afterwards.
What a perfect time to harvest and have housecleaners come in after :100:

A few Day 29 shots…

UVA lights glowing away…
Need to look into UVB bulb to really make a difference. Dangerous stuff though, and I can be careless sometimes.

Raised the light 10 clicks (1 inch) to 19" and hitting around 1000 at canopy, I may raise another inch to 20". Lowered from level 10 to level 9. Only 20-30Ppfd difference. Need to start working on controlling heat in here. Going to be a long run on this girl, and thankfully temperatures are finally dropping from the 100s next week.

Day 30, Week 5 in Flower. Looking pretty damn good. I have no idea what kind of harvest I may have on this one, but I’m sure it’ll be tasty :100:

Sunday Day 32, Week 5 Flower.


Went to Downtown Summerlin to walk Stan, and there just happened to be a car show that day. Cool Back to the Future DeLorean on display. I suggested Stanlee is an excellent driver, but was quickly shot down. Did some plant maint to the movie later on

Looking much better than this DeLorean at the body shop for the past couple of years… Future uncertain for this one.

Tiki Hawaiian Snow Cone is definitely running on empty… filling her up with some nutes, just not sure which ratio

With main light off, Its easy to see what the inter canopy lighting does and how it may be effective during Flower.

Humpday in-tent cam shots…
TIki HSC doin fine :100:

Day 42 and last day of Week 6.
One more week of “Week 4” feedings, then back to Athena schedule on Week 8. Nutes mixed and ready to go!

HLG350 R Diablo generates some heat, for sure…
At night, temp in tent dropping to 73° and RH bumps up to 60%
Def NOT getting my desired 10° F temperature differential :thinking:

Been tossing around the idea of using the ProGrow 320 in here again and lowering temps a degree or two.
Half thinking wait until next grow, half thinking switch it over now and see what happens…

Trying to stay calibrated with my buddy using his HLG Scorpion Diablos, but his room is sooo much cooler than my tents.

Looking pretty good, so far. Sticky as fuck, and really starting to get a sugary smell.

Got a little bit of my buddy’s weed that he harvested Thursday evening. He already started it drying at 60% relative humidity and 70°. Got it in the Cannatrol for an 8-day run.

Put it on a 10-day dry cycle, but I’m sure it will be done before then. Using some non-traditional settings.

He said his dries are usually done in four to five days, which makes sense because when I was drawing in my tent around 70°. It was taking me around 4 to 5 days as well

Does UVA light actually do anything ?
