That is the one. Reused the container you sent me some in. Glad they made it. Have fun. Hope you find something good in there!

Couple little updates.
Having a space that will hold 8 pots but filling with 4 won’t work for me. So…decided to start three diesel moonshines and one Hog from @ryasco. Also looks like the one up in front on the left is a boy too, so going to pull him out today and replace with something else just not sure yet.
I’ve been adding sprout starts to the pots and will probably continue. I notice the top of the soil stays a bit damper, so watering happens nice and evenly. Basically I see it helping to remove that dry crust that forms on the top layer of the soil and makes watering evenly harder. Some people rough up that top layer with a fork or such, but this seems to be working for me so far. It’s a major notill stretch/start. Eventually I’ll go full no till. Anyway, some pics. Hope everyone gets to enjoy the weekend.
Here’s the bushy CBD from @Muleskinner. Crazy leaves sprouting out all over. I’m holding a branch. The top is in the background. Still no preflowers.
Seeds are in the dirt and will be started under 12/12. Gotta pull the bastard child bogarting the front of the bus. Little @#$&’r!
Gets tight between the pots, making it really hard to sponge up any runoff from the previously used pie tins. so the entire bottom and a couple inches up the walls has been covered in a few layers of ultra thick black plastic. Easy to catch excess runoff now.
Hopefully by the end of the weekend I’ll have my homemade led rack in there and that floro moved out into a little veg chamber thingy I still haven’t built yet. A lot going on, just slow progress.
Adjusting the camera.
Started ten seeds, seven went male. Oh well. The DieselMoonshine’s should blend in well. Looking forward to them since they were resistant to powdery mildew outside.
Cheers

Put the lady in front in the back of the bus. Back left, then added in a bag seed. Well, kinda a bag seed. My summer crop was dusted with my neighbors male and my outs made a few seeds. The one on the ground got chopped up and added to my compost.
Got the rack built. Had to drill a few holes through the steel. Went through three of my good drill bits, then went to harbor freight and picked up two packs to finish the last two holes. I’ve got a buddy who basically has every stinking tool ever made, so making cuts was easy, but drilling…, not until later did he tell me he has a drill press. The last two holes were tough. Tried my had at soldering last night. I suck at it, so this build is going to take me some time so I don’t mess it up.
Little lady is doing fine outside. Hopefully she produces something worth partaking in. I just threw all the summer harvest in the trash. A little over three lbs. Fuck caterpillars!
Here’s the bummer pic… She is a hermie as far as I can tell. It’s got nanners in a few places and busting out from the top are loads of pistils. Gonna keep an eye on it in the compost bin. If it does completely turn I might have to take some clones. My garage was smelling for a bit, but after moving this one out it smells like a garage again and it’s tiny…
Also, I’m wondering now if I didn’t cull a few females on accident? Since several of them showed the same characteristics as this one, I may have. Live and learn… My only guess as to why so many showed male traits is that I had a temp and light issue and maybe they were extremely stressed, or simply I suck at judging pre-flowers and wasn’t patient enough, or they were males. Ha
Hope everyone had a safe, warm and happy holiday. Cheers!

Next time you need to drill steel, get some cutting oil on the bit. It will keep it sharp and make the job much easier. Aluminum is lighter and easier to drill and cut. It’s also more expensive.
Plants look healthy and happy.

Took out the fluorescent fixture and replaced it with an LED rig I put together over the last couple days. Couldn’t nail down soldering the wires to the chips from the bulbs, so reworked it to use the bulbs half dismantled and connected to sockets mounted on aluminum. Having the chips mounted directly on the aluminum would buy three more inches in height, which would be nice, but is fine. Either way it feels much more complete now. I may pull the two bars from the outside into the center a little more? There are two 5000k up front over the seedlings, four 3000k through the center and six 2700k for the remaining sockets. Eventually it will be solid 3000k and running 12/12 - 24/7.
None of the DieselMoonshine’s popped, but the hog and a bag seed have. Look at all that thinning out to do
Decided to start some of the crosses I made this summer while also starting a tester grow for @buryseeds x18 crosses.
I’m calling the cross Maple Cream Top (MCT) because I eat a lot of maple flavored brown cow yogurt, use the cups to start plants in and writing out “Diesel Moonshine X (BC Mango X BC Night Nurse)” every time is extraneous.
Hope the short week is treating everyone right.

The fixture looks nice. Soldering takes time to figure out, similar to welding I’m told. It helps if you swear a lot, or that’s how I learned

Right on Grobro!
Have gotten a lot of gardening done.
Work is very slow for me anyway these days.
It will pick up again. It always does.

Didn’t want to start clogging up @Roux hydro thread.
Yes, I guess that lil pig could be considered mine. In fact if you or anyone is interested in some free stickers let me know via PM. You could also head over to instagram and follow abrownlake and get them that way.

Thought this looked neat with sunlight from below.
This is bob. Bob doesn’t usually come out during the day. Very rarely. It’s going to eat that grub on the left.
Got a little hermaphrodite action happening on the compost tester. Early on there was a small ball that looked exactly like a male nut, but had a hair sticking out of it. Decided to toss it in the compost bin and let it go. Herm for sure.
So I chopped off the lower four branches and will let the top go. Not sure of the strain, and I’ve been struggling to just put it out of its misery, but since it won’t affect anything else growing outside right now, i’ll just wait and see what it makes in the smoke department.

Hi OG.
Not much in the department of progress other than a few sprouts starting to show some vigor. Had great luck with 4 of the LemonTree x X18 popping and growing well. None of the Roxbury x X18 popped. Had that some grower issues.
Got to pull seven clones of a supposedly clone only strain, so those are trucking along into a re-vegetative state. Pretty sure, off the top of my head I had one Diesel Moonshine finally pop and two of my BCxDM crosses are doing well.
A friend, after hearing about the clone only potential thing, decided to let me test drive a nice LED light fixture for him. Hooked me up with a bunch of stuff. Couldn’t have happened to me at a better time. I’ve been trying forever it seems to pull together enough extra cash to line myself with a nice solstrip rig from @Baudelaire, but looks like I can safely say I won’t have too now. Or at least not for a little while.
Other thing, maybe worth mentioning? I don’t know about you all, but when the universe is speaking to you, you have to listen. I’ve been thrown a nice ass bone when I needed it. That’s kind of a reason I don’t mind sending out seeds to you all. If I could I’d pay some parking tickets or something, but I don’t have that power. Instead I’m just trucking along like the rest of us jones’s. Peace y’all.
couple little clones. They’re in a smaller dome now.
I’ve got some reading to do on this beast. It’s pretty cool. There’s a button and antenna on top. The button allows manual adjustment of the spectrums available. 6 spectrums to choose from, I believe. The antenna is for wifi and an app. Turned it on in the garage and it’s blinding. Time to start taking things a bit more seriously. 
I’ll be setting it up this week if I don’t have to leave town. I may need to head north for two weeks, which is another universe speaking to me thing. This was the only online info I could find. Going to reach out to them and see what info is available. Please, if anyone is running these/this… I’d love to know more.

600 watts, wow that thing is a beast! I’m guessing it has to be 3 feet above the canopy with that horsepower.

The specs on the site show 2.5 but I believe that is for par, lumens, radius…not safe distance from canopy. Purely an example of output radius. I’m borrowing a nice light meter to see if it can’t be dialed in real nice. Still no software to test with. My buddy is being secretive. It’s going to be a huge curve for a minute. Other thing is it has two fans up top, so I’m thinking to vent that heated exhaust back to ground level. My set up in the garage is trying to endure dramatic temp swings. High 30’s at night and approaching the low 80’s in the day. My box is sitting at a consistent 60/40 heat/humidity. Slowing them down a lot. Actually one of the master kush’s is looking like it’s got nitrogen toxicity going on. I’m probably wrong. Post the sickling later.

Some progress and other stuff.
Stumbled across this lil fella in one of the pots.
Box has been neglected. Plant in the middle isn’t doing so well. I’ll see them through, but will need to do some nice modifications to get it working properly.
Master Kush bud shot from the sicker of the two.
A tincture made from @ReikoX tincture thread. Its a hundred times better tasting than the last batch we made. Two droppers full for me about an hour before bed and I’m out. Wifey puts it in her coffee. Go check out his thread if your making these. Killer write up and easy to follow.
My cross #1. It’s in the exact same soil as all my others, but seems sensitive. Could be heat stress because they were really close to the lamps a couple nights while the temps dropped, but every plant was close to the lights, so I’m semi-ruling it out and saying it’s simply sensitive.
All of them.
Put another outside that is showing much more of the diesel moonshine early on with large fat leaves.
Diesel moonshine.
This is a mystery that hermied, went to flower, now going back to vegetative. Going to let it go through the summer and keep an eye on it.
Here’s the HOG. It was growing really slowly in the box. Only had one leaf then split on its own. I cut the leaf in the center.
Can’t remember for the life of me what this one was. Maybe it’s somewhere above? Happy though.
I’ve got four lemontree x x18 testers going for @buryseeds.
So far, six of the seven clones are rooting and starting to veg. Last two days I notice they are leaning back to the light when they are rotated to face the other way. Also a nice even amount of dead/healthy growth. Good signs.
Got the veg fixture hung up and some temporary walls started. May let these veg an extra week or so to give me time to get the LED room figured out and built. It’s a shit storm in here. 
Happy February!

So glad it worked put for you and the wife. If you think that tastes good, go for the natural decarb some time. It keeps many of the aromas and flavors lost during the decarb in the oven.
