It’s time to make my first post… enough creeping on everyones pages …
“back” to the days of a 10x12 with HPS 2-750s and some CMH 2-315s…
slanted floor with rubber roofing mat… one square cut out in a corner to collect run off in a pan… submerged pump to disperse run off to the nearest toilet…
Small boy water filter(R.O. was a waste for my city water)4 wall fans… exhale Co2 bags… 6"exhaust set to 70⁰ on a controller.
HPS hoods ducted and exhausted… CMH hood open and warmed the room.
and my most fave nutes I have ever used… ECO NUTRIENTS so damn simple IF you don’t mind making fresh food every feed and adjust pH with nectar olympus up. …I found some pics from a few month period… where to start with?
This was the end of a cure in August 2017… who ever used BANANA MANA? DAMNIT I bought into so many gimmicks!!! Most helped but not worth the extra cost.
No clue what they were… most likely some KDS seeds(green apple, sugar drum, blue dream) and maybe a bodhi Lavender aura… and maybe some archive Oregon lemons… maybe… LA Plata labs clementine… maybe they look like something familiar to you?
side note… KDS seeds blue dream was one of THE most stinky trees I ever did grow… made my heart race after smoking, I didn’t like that… but the damn skunk like body odor smell with roses attached😅 was a smell that wouldn’t wash off your fingers… carry on…
Time for cuts… under a 4ft red hue T12 bulb or so. Old ass bulb… in a shop light ! Works AWESOME!
BEST AEROPONIC recipe ever!!!
I had a set up where I would never keep a mom… always cut from the healthiest clone… veg 2 months or the next rounds cycle… cut in half… then new shoes for everyone and off to the show…
I would try to get all these ladies as happy as I could
(you know that new growth starting with new fans just pointing straight up looking so vigorous)
Out of a 5x5 tent that had a 4ft 8bulb T5 into the new HPS/CMH room for a week at least to adjust to the new lights in their same containers, then switch from 3gal to 5gal and send em off to the races.
A couple cool things I saw this round…
As much fun as it is… it really is a lot of work… balancing a 4 yr old (at the time of the pics)… a full time job… but I always made time for the girls!
I loved winter time for growing… allowed for some cool stuff to happen, I was getting obsessed with mycelium and trying to create it from bottled goodies… I made a decent effort at it i thought.
My mentor told me "a fish can only get as big as the tank they swim in… "
But is that true?? Lots of wiggle room on that topic!
Still not sure what these trees are. I apologize… they were a blast to grow though.
I guess you could call it a 6 part feed regiment with the nectar pH up included.
A buddy gave me 5 gallon samples of eco nutes… so it was a lot easier to transfer those to old nectar jugs I had laying around still.
It all happens kind of quick if you look back on the round… I got lucky not having PM or bugs… I know my spot got attacked shortly after this round…
I used to take that whole room down by myself in a weekend(the REAL trim jail)…
IT WAS HORRIBLE! If you were awake you were wet trimming… then once you got it all trimmed… the room needed sterilized 100% and shove new rides in and transplant before work the next week. Ahhh it sucked. Or you just say fuck it and mess up your schedule … it happens…
Then I found out about dry trim… oh heeeck YEAH!
And the cycle repeats itself… 🫡🫡😏
What a hobby! Learn a lot … and never stop learning.
I’d say there is a slight difference in how my trees look between then and now…
Thought I could feed down to earth liquid bloom and calcium without checking pH. I was wrong… I’m soo ready for the next run! Stay tuned…
Sorry for the long post… I responded to another thread too many times and had to wait for another response before replying again… sooo I just went for it here. I got more old pics I will try to find and share. Happy Sunday OG community
