Steampunk Water Culture

I had to start winterizing last week it’s getting cold up here :cold_face:c :canada:

One thing im not sure about yet is how cold my 5 gal buckets will get sitting on a cement floor over the winter. May need to raise them up yet!

Yah, I’ve had the water temps down to 16C in the peak of cold season. I find the cement helps regulate temps by absorbing a bit of warmth from the ground in winter and coolness in summer. If I close the door to the veg room it warms up in there a few degrees.


ok! The big bud is only putting out 3 leafers right now. Probably need another week before I clone it.

Here’s the meat breath, high off it’s ass on conductivity! They get a strange “look” to them when the EC runs out, that’s for sure.

Here’s a photo of the bloom room. Still a few plant remnants left I should try and clean up today.

Which strain is it that has those dark leaves in the bloom room?

The dark ones are the meat breath and the green one with taller colas is FLC-BX1. I’ll get a photo of the dried up meat breath buds. They are lookin’ fiiiiiine!


My great great grandma wants a hit offa that.

Things are progressing! I’ve almost got enough ice to make another hash batch…yay! I’m going into rosin production mode now, as there is still a large batch of freeze dried hash in the freezer.

I had to go and prop up a bunch of branches on the meat breath and FLC-BX1. Crazy plants got all floppy with bud growth I suppose.

fuck me… more of the same! Plants are growing! I might even plant a couple more today.

here I got some different perspective photos, so you can see more or different things in the room?
I have a feeling I’m going to just have to clone the big bud soon, as I gave it more stress and triggered further blooms by drying the plant out. Once that happens all the nutrient precipitate into nothing so I gave it more. Stop using so much water, huge stupid plant.

I can see the buds bulking up. I think the calcium levels are low on the FLC-BX1 it looks like classic signs, but the conductivity is 2+ so I fucked that one up. Probably do better if I just change it out for a fresh batch of strong nutrients, or I could add a micro dose of micros. I’ve been just boosting it with low doses back to EC 2.5, so it could have created an imbalance.

hah hah well my daughter turned 19 and got her diploma in business admin. She’s all in like I was back then. I would have been fresh out of computer information systems at her age. They fucking grow up quick, it’s like she’s 30 already!

ok! Great news I have five fronds on the leaf. I guess the shock wasn’t too bad, I did take care of it within 24 hours.

I did the transfer on this plant, where I whipped up a new batch of strong juice then traded buckets. It did fall over a little when the hastily tied pipe cleaners broke apart. I mean literally broke the wire inside. I think my original generation may be suffering metal fatigue. oh but the plant seemed to really enjoy that. The new batch is the right ph and conductivity. I decided instead of testing all the variables and correcting it, I would go with the one-step solution of changing it out.
FLC-BX1

FLC-BX1 is definitely regenerated and is growing bud fingers. It’s going to be an interesting one!!! I should have given it way more conductivity, but I know that now.

I think I’m going to look at the FLC under the microscope today. Not because I think it’s done, though! But I am really curious as to what it looks like.

wow over the last 7 days, the FLC has really bulked up.

It’s pretty much time to move the meat breath over into bloom now! yay!

See that bud? It’s not dry yet. A quick sniff and squeeze it still smells like drying weed and my fingers can squish the bud easily. That means at least another day before I bag it up. I have… loads of weed.
