ReikoX's Workshop

360 watts of LED brightness!

Well I’m getting one step closer to the workshop rebuild. I got my dad’s clones to him and the workbench is now empty. I’ll disassemble it and re-use the lights, and other automation equipment later.

The clones in Quarantine are about done (day 25/30) so that will free up that spot for bonsai mothers. Hopefully I can fit them all in there while I do the rebuild.

That leaves the no-till bed, that should be done this weekend. I’ll dry them in there. My neighbor asked me how much I would sell it for, I was thinking $500 for the COB rig, light, fan, and no-till bed.

Im curious - do you check trichs for amber/cloudy or do you go by the color of the stigma or?

By the way, I was just Googling “pistil” to be sure I spelled it correctly, and discovered that what I was calling a pistil (the white hairs that turn color as the bud ripens) is really a stigma?

In any case, what tells you the plant is ready to harvest?

Nice looking grow @ReikoX I think its gonna take me a year to go through this thread and see what you’re up to in there :laughing:

Yes, technically a pistil is the male part…

I usually check trichomes to see if a plant is done, but use the plant signals (leaves turning yellow, pistils receding, cylax swelling) to determine when to start looking. I’ve grown this cut enough to know it is done at nine weeks.

Quarantine is officially over. After 30 days, not only have these grown, but they are healthy and happy too.

Well, I dont really have any plants right now. Skywalker is still drying nice and slow. All I have now are my clones and bonsai mothers.

Wow! Damn Reiko. I love that Skywalker OG. It went away. I smoked it when it was around. Ill pick some up. You killed it. What kinda smells? Looks super dense. I love it. Saved some nice clones too. You gonna run it again? Have a good one bud. Fresh Skywalker rosin. Mmm. Lucky dog. :rofl:

It smells of pine and lemon cleaner. It’s one of my favorite cultivars right now, I will definitely be running it again. My only complaint is, this cut takes forever to clone.

That’s not true, bud. The pistil is part of the female flower. And while it’s true that the hairs we see are technically called stigmas, they are just parts of a whole unit of the reproductive cycle known as the pistil, which also refers to parts that we can’t see because they are inside of the calyxes. And that’s really the commonly made mistake we all make is calling bracts “calyxes.” They’re actually bracts. We can’t see the calyx. I could go on and nerd out about this stuff, but I just wanted to say that the pistil is not related to male plants at all. That might be the stamen you’re thinking of.

That HTH stuff looks like the right kind. Pool shock is a generic term, not a name brand. :+1::seedling:

You need to look at the label carefully. You didnt show the most important part of the label - the actual ingredients. Some “Shock” you buy has more than just chlorine (calcium hypoclorite) in it. You want one with ONLY calcium hypoclorite. It should be some where between 50% and 60%.

HTH makes both kinds.

If you have a Walmart near you they have shock powder in small bags for like $5. Enough in the small bag to last years for most folks.

Skywalker OG dry, trimmed, and in the jars. A total of 140 grams, just a tad shy of my goal of 6 oz.
