This beast is going to power the heat extraction. I am going to measure the distances and start prepping for the final install.

That is a monster size filter and fan. How big is the fan a 10"? I was trying to use the 2x4 as reference.

shit, now you’re asking the complicated questions! It does 600CFM but it might be 6 inch? I’d have to go measure it…gimme a sec. Yah 6 inch and the tubes are 8 so I need to use the adapter on the fan. Shit I forgot to measure the carbon filter. It’s fucking huge but has an adapter already. I might even consider an upgrade on the 20 year old filter. But the fan is a work-horse made in Germany.

ok you can see the meat breath are suffering from nutrient deficiency. I bet they are sucking tap water. Man there is a backlog in the grow room, it suuuuucks. I did a whole hog trim on the big buds in veg, they had so many garbage branches from below.

I find with cannabis my mental state has an effect on what the hash does to my mind. I mean it’s not like other people because of the glucose/cortisol thing, right? When the cortisol wave strikes, my brain is like trapped in jello. When I smoke some weed it just papers that over. Low glucose levels I feel like I’m going to fall over. With all the ups and downs and various levels of human hormones, it feels like the weed just brings me back to normal. Unless it’s shitty weed, then I get angry.

I’m going to give the plants a dose of nutrient from the technaflora calculator. Seems they don’t want you to shock your plants hah hah. They call for a dose that’s probably going to hit EC 2.0 in veg and 2.6 in bloom. hah ha probably… they have it right there on the chart including the PH I’m gonna hit as well. 6.0

Do you use all Technaflora? Which ones exactly if you don’t mind me asking. I will write them down so I can promise you I won’t ask again. OG scouts honor :green_heart:.
I really like the Maxi but it’s a lot of work to use.

I’m doing a few test runs where I am testing sugar daddy and magical. Who makes up those names? lol! it’s going to be a dose I am testing on a single plant for now, just to see what happens. I already tested and discarded the thrive alive red, it stains the roots brown.
40 boost, 20 veg, 25 sugar daddy - veg mode 2.0 ph 6.0
and for bloom I’ll be running:
40 boost, 40 bloom, 10 awesome, 30 sugar daddy, and 5 magical. - bloom mode EC 2.6 ph 6.0

I have definitely noticed they dial back the fluctuations in EC. I better start following suit.

ok I need 24 feet of insulated flexible ducting and some assorted parts like clamps and hangars. I drew up the master plan for the cooling, it’s a pretty basic system where the air enters the filter, travels over the lights and then through the fan and out the exhaust port. I think I should install an exhaust muffler? We’ll see! I use a home made one right now heh heh.

I moved the FLC BX1 seedlings into bloom. We’ll see if I can actually tell male from female or if I’m totally off-base. Remember I already cloned the female heh heh so I’ve placed my bet on the table.

I need another carbon filter to. It’s a shame they don’t make them so you can change out the carbon. Just feels very waistfull

I have some to refill mine, but you have to cut the rivets. I do have a titanium wheel that would bust through the rivets in a couple min. Perhaps it’s time to recharge it!

I was thinking about drilling a hole. I guess I could try to pop the rivets. Have to get some carbon. Any particular place you get yours?

I just went to the grow store and got another bucket full, I think it cost 100$? I honestly have no idea what it’s worth.

ok I boosted the meat breath up and also I gave the big bud a good dose. I added some sugar daddy to the meat breath plant, and we’ll see how it does. I smelled the bottle and it smells like cane sugar. I also added some magical to the big bud, it’s a mixture of magnesium, calcium and iron. Just a dash’ll do yah. I also sugar daddied those suckers. hah hah not sure why I did it, but we’ll see lol! The only thing I have left is… I have to deal with those 2 big bud plants that are left, and I have to do something with the geranium mother plant. I was thinking grow it in hydro in the green house.

oh you can tell now I did a better job on the latest meat breath batch, they are bending the branches and flopping over. I can’t wait for these next trial runs, I hope to be hitting the perfect zone for these plants. Once the meat breaths are dialed in, I’m going to be rolling… in fresh cleaned hospital flavor!!!

I still can’t believe people like that smell. Lol. I never did like the gassy smells in my weed. I can say I do identify good weed with that smell tho. Maybe that’s it.

Shit I guess I only took one photo. I came in there and two of my plants had fallen over! Both meat breath lol! Here I’ve got a meat breath story:
I got a call from the girl next door she says hey… you got some of that bud with the funky smell? And that taste?
I says well, are you talking about the fresh cleaned hospital flavor?
I think so she says. So I go over there and she sniffs the weed, oh yah, that’s the stuff. What’s it called?
Meat breath.
ok so some time passes. Phone rings. Voice says hey… you got any meat breath? Then the phone rings again… hey got any meat breath? fuck me. Got any meat breath! That’s my catch phrase now.

In the grow room, that plant earned it’s spot in the sun. It crushed several other plants with hash productivity.

The phone rings… Hey got any meat breath clones? Can I score a clone? You got 10 clones? YIKES! It’s like a fucking feeding frenzy over here on that shit. ← a small slice of my real life.
