hello ic'ers...

Today i decided it was time to flower, so i took out the plants, switched the bulb, did some cab maintenance, and set my timer to 12/12.

I bit of advice...

assure yourself that you have plenty of vertical room in your cab in the beginning. I had to cut more than originally planned, and sawdust got sprinkled all over my room.. lots of fun let me tell you.

So here are a few pics of what is goin on inside.. ill give ya'll another post when the ladies show themselves.


Group Shot Day 1 flower...

Update:

day 42 of flower. first colors are starting to show on the cola's. Havent had to much feedback lately, but im starting to see some weird coloration on the leaves which i think could be a maganeese deficiency, but i'd like to know what everyone else thinks...

first ill show some pics of how things are goin, and the last one is of the damaged leaf... hopefully someone out there could help me out with this one..

btw, im using fox farm OF soil with the Fox Farm tiger bloom/big bloom/cha ching
and i keep the ph between 6.3-6.8 w/ digi ph reader.

We may be quiet but we are still watching!

 

[patternagainst]

I second that, bermyboy!! I've been following for a minute now and let me tell ya TC, don't stop! If you don't mind me asking i'm a little curious as to what you spent in total building your farm; lights, ferts, and everything else that may have been included. Was thinking about that very same idea myself. Everything is looking terrific, really. How long are you predicting to flower, and also... any predictions on yield?


edit: is your exhaust just blowing out into your bedroom? How's the smell issue?

 

[THEchrontastica]

thanks for droppin by bermy and pattern!

To answer your questions regarding cost...

cab was around $110 w/ tax... ferts/soil/ph/mylar meter came to around $200ish, maybe a little more.....carbon scrubber was about $80

i actually bought lighting equip and fan from a friend; i was able to get two 400w switchable ballast along with a hood and both mh and hps bulbs (actually super hps bulbs), also a 250w mh hood w/ballast built in ballast... and finally a 6'' inline fan (included ducting) ALL for $1000.. quite the deal if u ask me.

This set-up is super easy to maintain, and other than puttin the cab together the project has been quite a breeze.

I vegged for about 30 days... and i plan to flower until roughly day 65....im not sure about yield really, since this will be my first harvest in this set-up. A modest guesstimate would be 1oz. per plant, but I will post exact numbers in this grow report at its conclusion.

And Yes, the exaust is blowing into bedroom, but has not become an issue whatsoever... the fan is sucking through the carbon scrubber which is connected w/ ducting to the air cooled hood which is pulling hot air directly from the light to the outside of the cab... before temps got cooler i had a portable a/c unit in my room that blew air through my window, but since its been cooler, i havent had to use it....

I hope this answers your questions, and if you have any more feel free to ask, im here to share knowledge and help provide good smokes for everyone! Thanks for droppin by

 

[patternagainst]

i think it's time for some more pictures, bud. its been a while! hope your new year was good for you and your endeavors...

 

[THEchrontastica]

i am in final stages of drying.. im gonna give em one more day before they go into paper bags for 1 day.. then into the jars... ill post harvest pics in a few days w/ my final yield.

I smoked a sample nug, and let me say the rhino is some of the stoniest bud ive ever ripped.. as i near the end of this endeveour, only one word comes to mind...success!

 

[dwtc]

the sweet smell of success, don't ya just love it?

they look awsome and i bet they smoke even better. can't wait for the smoke report and pics. speakin of pics, remember that blueberry from the first page?

theres just somethin about growin youre own.


stay safe,,,,,dwtc
