wappas 3&4 were tired, and pulled at 63 days:


now there are 8 plants left - and they're doing quite good.
Shiva Skunk are compact and showing nice buds, while Pandora are tall and lanky and seem slow (they should finish in 60days-auto, ooh well advertising...) but they do fine otherwise.
PLLs were shut down for summer, 1 circle is enough for 8 small pots:


***
I guess it turns quite uninspiring now... I just have some 8 plants left and then stop for summer vacation & unbearable heat :tumbleweed:

the 2 plants in the last post were 23g dry. Plus some lost to mold :/

here are the 8 plants. 2 double colas are coming down next week.
they all fit around the 150w nicely :)

I like your set up man, it's tight as hell!

I'm sure you're going to get that thing dialed in and turning out more awesome dankness.

Best to you!

yesterday I topped down a 64 days wappa, one of the two double-colas.
flowers aren't as big as the last ones', but as i hung the plant I saw it actually has a few :)

Hi rootidec! I see that you are using same box of mine! But I turn it vertical! And the same lamp! Why do you use box horizontal? For the next cycle I would use the lamp in vertical style!
...

yes :D also I have the same pots, or very close (mine are 2,5l)

actually I didn't think about it - it's a pretty good idea, I have to remember I can switch it! :D - anyway I was aiming for a small, small plants setup for this run, and it was my purpose to find out the "sweet spot" size of plants. From the next run - I'll throw in a mother box and go with even smaller pots - just experimenting :)
tnx :ying:

anothe shot of the wappa of yesterday - my photo skills suck balls btw



edit: removed ^^

minus seven around the lamp.
3 wappas (two of them in small pots) 2 pandoras and 2 shiva skunk.
they all have about a month of flowering to go, at least, but one wappa which is simply late and has a week or two to go.

:ying:

I feel obliged :tiphat: thanks man!
I'll try to keep it updated, right now I find myself doing it because it helps me keep track of things.

they're good lights I guess, veg growth thrive and light is well spread, just maybe not fit for flowering? first wappa i had here spent 1/2 flowering under the plls and didn't turn out fat as plants around the 150w from the start

see ya :)

just hung the wappa you see above, after it sit for one night out, pruned.

quite a good harvest, the 10 extra days helped what is probably the biggest plant so far.
***
I don't know if it'll work, but I put the skinny bottom part of the plant by the window, to see if she recovers - just an experiment :ying:

bye :)

just a little sketch about the next run - slightly modified from the last one.

I was about to make a PC for moms (as pictured earlier) but I'm really busy, plus I'd like to try more strains and I'm going to need 8 clones/mo. - which I'd like to accomodate next to the mums.


EDIT: plants will be kept "single-coley" or a tad above, making easier to keep 'em shorts and arranged in two rows. Bushy plants would probably make one row only possible around the 150w.
***I'm going to keep Bionova All Soil MIX (all purpose NPK) and Bloombastic (PK boost in the end) for the next run: they kept plants healthy, and I could see deficiencies (and thinner plants in the end) as soon as I underdosed.
***Strain could be Wappa and Shiva Skunk (still have a couple beans, save $ lol) Pandoras turned out to be too tall and lanky, hardly suitable for my setup.

[ It's going to be either this or something - maybe bigger - I'll come up with by september! ]

2nd EDIT: current 6 plants remaining are facing 34°C temps, I fear they'll not develop as fat as previous ones, it may be too hot(?) we'll see...

Thanks for watching as always, I'll keep you posted ;)

here's above wappa harvest.
weighs 18.9 grams but it's not completely dried yet.


***
and here's the first 1 liter (1/4 gallon) pot plant I harvest!! :)
It proved a consistent experiment:
- production is lower, but pretty close to 2.5 liter (1/2 gallon, a lil more) pots
- they have been the fastest plants so far, plant in the pic is 60 days and ready
- plants didn't grow too much, and so didn't need bending
- pot needed watering every day or day and a half, quite manageable
- I can fit many more pots that size, potentially

it really is quite frosty. the shiva is too. while the pandora isn't frosty at all...

see ya
