OFC not my man!

Let’s do it!

Drop your seeds in water/soil/whatever right away, you’re onlyu a few hours behind, and last night i went to bed super early and forgot to do the splash, so i did it this morning… HAHAHA!

[HappyHemper]

Aaaaaaand she’s in.
One seed, one cup.

Coco + MC is the plan

May all your red cups bring a cornucopia of green goodness!

[Sebring]

3 seeds of regular “Sour Diesel” I received as my payment for dry sifting a bag of older trim for a friend of a friend. The donor said her mom has been running this same strain from seed, in northern California, for over 30 years! Let’s see what we get!!

And we’re off.

[Baltimore]

Can I get a name change to InsaneIgor plzzzz

[Olbrannon]

@Baltimore

Can I get a name change to InsaneIgor

No. And you should be stripped for trying to drive the Enterprise without a license!

[Esrgood4u]

I was really wanting to enter but my grow areas are fully occupied and both are running 12/12 at the minute. It would have been a giggle. I was slightly put off by the daily watering though to be honest as I’ve just not got the time. It’s one of the reasons I bought the autopot system and everything is ran via sonoff stuff. They just get left to it. I could likely give c02 a go as the flower tent is sealed up 6 days at a time

[Baltimore]

Yeah I couldn’t get a license I drive when I feel like it whenever it suits me. Who’s got the keys who knows somebody repoed the Enterprise . I don’t drive drunk though.

[Baltimore]

Got dat sumnbich dialed in don’t you. Is that an automated deal like using a raspberry or something. I’m good with tech. Just haven’t seen any in 10yrs lol. I’m playing catchup. Warden won’t let you grow in a cell j/K. I stopped smoking. Worked a union job. Got hurt…shove oxy down your throat then you can’t function. I’m good uncle sam…ill make my own…Now where can I hide a a few hectares of poppies…Seriously ok I’ll stop. Funny how big pharma does you. Be safe!!!

Made it to my favorite Med Spot Maggie’s here in Baltimore pick me up at 8 birthday cake now I’m going to watch Lego Batman then I’m playing some Battlefield Hardline I’m stuck on that game. Such a child…

[Esrgood4u]

Yeah it’s pretty much perfect but it’s been moved to another room so no longer drawing air directly from outside. The intake pipe and fan is sat on a windowsill with the window open.
The sonoff stuff is just cheap Chinese wifi power stuff but it works via WiFi so easy to adjust stuff. I’m sure we have a thread about it here on OG. Everything is controlled by an app on your phone

The Automation Station [Everything Sonoff and Automation Related]

[image] Me again. Get where water wouldn’t This is basically a wiring setup designed for a UK 240v circuit. But many aspects are transferrable to other electrical systems globally of you have enough relevant knowledge of your mains system. [image][image][image][image][image] Once you have your layout. Drill. Jigsaw and bolt where necessary. [image] I like to use household plug sockets for ease of switching appliances. [image] I built up a box for my unit to keep it tidy in…

[Baltimore]

Awesome dude. Thanks for the info. Takes some worry of your mind eh? I’m sure you got it dialed in. Thanks for your time.

[Esrgood4u]

No worries. You can automate your entire grow using sonoff gear and its cheap as chips. The sonoff th16 is a God send as it looks after humidity
Edit - sorry for spamming your thread @MadScientist.

[Baltimore]

Grandmasters going to beat the shit out of me for that. With a name like mad scientist he could strike me from afar. I’m not worried about the fat Korean with a nuke we know what he’s up to. And that Putin dudes alright with me. I wish I could ride a horse with my shirt off unfortunately my man boobs would knock me out. Thanks bro next time I’ll just p.m. you I’m being ignorant I’m an ignoramus. Thanks for the info always appreciated

[slain]

Bombs away! 6X Pacific Jade Seeds fresh of the plant yesterday!

Good luck everyone!

@Deadinside88

Decided to go with 3 divyder’s(autos)

Good choice! I won a 16oz. cup challenge over at ICMag.

@Tinytuttle

so we have rice hulls; EWC, peatmoss mix lightly fortified and compost

This sounds like a better solution than what I tried last time, Ferments with perlite hempys do not work IME. I needed the organic matter apparently.

@MadScientist

last night i went to bed super early and forgot to do the splash, so i did it this morning… HAHAHA!

Hahaha! I did the same. I’ll be dropping some Lowryder2 x Juanita la Lagrimosa tonight

[Sebring]

I couldn’t help myself. I’ve been wanting to do it for a while, just because it looks fun. I didn’t have any 16 ounce plastic cups though. I went to buy some and honestly couldn’t bring myself to do it. I was thinking about buying all that plastic just to grow a plant and realized it’s just not my way. So, I went home, grabbed a 16 oz container and wrapped it with some stray brown paper that had come in a package to me. Then I wrapped twine around it really tightly, tied it off and voila; I have 16 oz plant containers and when it’s all done I can just toss them in the compost!!

I placed all 3 in a 1 gallon grow bag I had laying around, so they wouldn’t fall over, and filled them straight from the bottom of the compost pile (It’s probably 50% reused soil and 50% compost at various stages of decomposition). I added in some layers of broken up comfrey leaf (it was in my way while I was digging ) and topped it off with some yard waste mulch (whatever made it into the chipper a couple months ago).

Then I watered it really well and added the 3 seeds I got from a friend of a friend that had me dry sift her old trim. Any stray seeds in the leftovers was what I got for payment, but I know the value of the seeds, so I think it was a fair trade! I planted 3 cups because the seeds are of indeterminate sex.

Once the seeds sprout I’ll move all of them onto individual saucers, or something, so they air prune their roots. If that isn’t allowed, I’ll wrap them in foil and toss them back in the bag!

If you look really close you’ll notice there is a potato plant growing right next to the bag. I have no idea what variety it is, I just know it must have been in some of the compost I top-dressed with.

[The little lilac colored container in the background is 3 types of sage that I’m growing for a friend, so she can make sage smudge sticks. I realized the other day while watering them that smudge sticks do exactly what they claim to do. They “purge the place of negative energies,” which I translate to mean that they drive away people that have a bad energy about them. I know it works, because any time a friend lights one up, all the uptight people leave! Reality is in the eye of the beholder.
