Designing a dual 150-watt CMH cab

[ReikoX]

Two weeks of 12/12. One more week, or until they stop stretching, then I'll clean up the back of the screens. They are about 2/3 of the screen now, so looks like my timing for the flip was good.

 

[Intimea]

Keep up the good work!

 

[ReikoX]

Clones are two weeks of 12/12. I tied them all to their stakes and watered with:

10 ml/gal Bio Vega
8 ml/gal Bio Boost
2 ml/gal Rhizotonic
5 ml/gal SM-90


The screens are filling out nicely at three weeks of 12/12. I trimmed up the back of the screens and am trying to clone some of stuff I cut at my brother's request. They were then watered with:

12 ml/gal Bio Flores
8 ml/gal Bio Boost
2 ml/gal Rhizotonic
5 ml/gal SM-90

Looking real good!

Looking real good!

Here is a different way to look at my screens. I take them out to water and trim them up. They are from left to right: Delicious Candy x3, Deadhead OG, Tahoe OG, OG Kush.

I'll have to get a picture like this for the clones next time I feed them. They are going nuts!

Coliseum out

Coliseum out


As promised, here are all three sections of the coliseum. I accidentally left them without water for seven days instead of the normal five, but as you can see they perked right up. Now that they are three weeks flowering I did a nice trim. I cut a few suckeres that were too low and the bottom half of the fan leaves. They got pH 6.1 tap watering. They are a little bit taller than I would have liked, it is getting tricky to remove those that are taller than the top of the coliseum.

I think this round, the coliseum is going to yield more. I'm pretty excited to have more Delicious Candy in my jars.

Ughhh

Ughhh


I have been sick and busy lately. I feel like these ladies look right now. I usually water every three or four days. Unfortunately I forgot to check on them for eight days



Here they are after a couple of hours and three gallons of:
12 ml/gal Bio Flores
2 ml/gal Rhizotonic
8 ml/gal Bio Boost
5 ml/gal SM-90

I removed everything behind the screen or that was yellowing. It was quite a lot actually. They all perked back up except the OG Kush.

Ouch...why don't you use an irrigation system?

No, I enjoy hand watering my plants. They are fine, but will probably require an extra week to finish. Maybe in the future I'll get a drip or blumat setup.

 

[ReikoX]

Here is the coliseum at about four weeks flowering. They were a bit dry after five days, but not wilting.

Here are the screens at five weeks flowering. They were also a bit dry, but not wilting. I'm going to try ever three days, but only water on the extra watering.

Here they are back huddled around the bulb. If you look at the bottom you will notice that the lazy Susan is no longer there. I had to remove them from both sides, they weren't getting enough air flow.


This is good a place as any to put this. This was motivated by me seeing a huge temperature difference from min and max. I run multiple cabs, so I created a chart by totaling the number of watts of the lights by hours they are on. You can see there is also a big difference of wattage from min and max. The new light schedule should keep that difference lower and spread out through the rest of the day.

 

[ReikoX]

Here are the clones at four and a half weeks. About half way there! I took some more fan leaves and a couple of little sucker shoots that keep coming back. They got plain RO water adjusted to pH 6.5.

Here are all the screens at five and a half weeks. Not too bad, but I've done better. They got watered with plain RO water adjusted to pH 6.5.

Here are shots of each plant individually.

OG Kush

Tahoe OG

Deadhead OG

 

[ReikoX]

I've got three more clones this week. Last week was Strawberry Blue, Super Lemon Haze, and Afghani on the bottom. This week is Deadhead OG, OG Kush, and Holy Grail 69 on the top. Last week I had three empty spots, this week I had to pull the three smallest ones. I couldn't stand to kill them, so they will finish in my filing cabinet. I should have 15 in the filing cabinet and 12 in the coliseum come harvest. But I will also have the coliseum half full with the oldest being five weeks.

Here are the rest of the girls in the coliseum at five weeks.

 

[ReikoX]

Girls are about six weeks and starting to fatten up. They are most likely going to outweigh the screens by a great deal.

Right about seven weeks. I gave them a plain pH watering. They will only get Bio Boost from now on.

 

[ReikoX]

Here is the coliseum at 6.5 weeks. It's starting to look exciting in there!

Here are last week's clones on the bottom; THC Juanita, CBD Juanita, and Holy Grail 69. They have had a little more veg time than the rest.

The screens are about 7.5 weeks now. I'm not going to flush this round, instead I will keep using the Bio Boost this last week like the feeding schedule suggests.

 

[ReikoX]

These are the clones that I have been pulling out of the coliseum. I have been pulling the shortest one each time. There will be three more next week filling up the filing cabinet. The week after that is harvest.

Added three new clones this week. I tied up the taller ones for support.

Here is the rest of the coliseum. They are seven weeks old and starting to look sparkly.

Less than a week to go, there is quite a bit of bud in there. Next time I will be more aggressive with the back of the screens. There is a lot of larf there. Oh well, more for the hash pile.

 

[ReikoX]

63 days and time to chop the screens. I have no clue how much to expect. I will manage the screens better next time. I didn't get as nice of a color fade on them. I think it's because I fed them the whole time.

OG KKush


Tahoe OOG


Deadhead OOG


Lots of popcorn and larf behind the screens. I will be more aggressive with pruning next time.


Worked out well having the screens to hang the manicured bud from to dry.

 

[ReikoX]

Dry weight:
Delicious Candy 30g + 12.75g popcorn
Deadhead OG 11g + 3.35g popcorn
OG Kush 8g + 3.20g popcorn
Tahoe OG 10g + 2.17g popcorn
Total 59g + 21.47g popcorn + 16.5g sugar trim


These are the first three weeks worth of Clones for the perpetual uSOG.


Two more weeks worth of Clones. The other 15 come down this weekend.


These 12 were put in my filing cabinet to finish off. Each week I took the smallest three Clones and put them in here (starting on the top row).  This should yield way better than the screens thus round.
