Freedom 35

beds are no till so they just get top dressed a little, veg dirt gets recycled too. the only dirt that leaves my room is whatever the wife steals for the odd herb container or bulb.
way more complicated is one way of looking at hydro vs living soil. on the surface all i do is keep dirt wet. it literally does not get any easier than that.

its good to be back at it with a vengeance. keeping cups alive doesn't feel like im doing much. after going back and looking at some of my previous runs with the glue, i think i might have to let them veg next week too. we shall see

Well your beds rock, You damn near had a perfect run last time, had you not been battling the heat I can't see where anything else went wrong. You should certainly be on point for perfection this run! :tiphat:

imo the heat wasnt as detrimental as the lack of proper canopy control. but i did see some 85s there at the end... still though the buds that werent shaded got pretty fat. anyway i think ill be on track to absolutely crush it this run. i dont know if i can clear 3.8 like i hit with the 2k hps but i know ill do better than 3.25 which is what i got last run under the 630s. ive got a good feeling though. maybe a trick or two up my sleeve yet.

g'mawnin star!

almost, gotta paint the wood around it all pretty tomorrow. wanted to wait till then!
just got back from another run to my friendly not so local shop. grabbed a bunch of new t5 bulbs, more 1gal rootmakers, some coco and compost for another batch of dirt, a new pre filter for the can, and another water pump. putting a soaker hose on the glue bed tomorrow. shits getting fancy up in here...

little things coming together pretty easy with the big stuff done.

fixed the newer bed yesterday. lined it up better and redid the half of the liner that had sagged a bit. got the soaker hose down too. i went with a dramm, seems quality. most options were miracle grow brand hoses, and i cannot abide that. also i left the hose on filling up the barrel and flooded the shit out of the room. the low corner had 2" of standing water in it... it all drained out after an hour but im still very upset with myself. some of it soaked into the door frame and now thats sticking real hard...whatever. nothing i can do now except clean up and keep truckin. building the outside fence around the new ac today, hopefully fixing and taping the inside of it today as well. didnt make it yesterday. ok growers, enjoy your sunday!

hi i have a question for yall. those of you consuming measured edibles, what mg dosage do you prefer? im new to measuring my edibles that precisely and i know what the "recommended" rates are but i want to know what folks in my league of tolerance are having to consume for effective pain relief. making glue rosin chocolates this week and im going to do about 60 mg per. in hopes that one will help and two will be good for my bad days.

Never dosed my eddys.. I don't do em often.. they tend to just make me fall asleep lol.

I do want to get into some dosed capsules from ethanol wash. Some friends could use those.

Curious as well.


Question for you nameless..
I know you switched over to LG.. but i have a figidaire that leaks light - it's in my lung so it isn't much, but I'd prefer not to have the blue glow from some t5s creeping to the outside at all hours of the day.

How did you go about light proofing? did you have to take it apart and spray paint the styro in the guts?

trich - the spray paint eats the styrofoam over time. theres also a crease in the middle where air seeps out. you can see it through the vent. what i did was caulked the seam in the styrofoam and used black latex paint that i brushed on. all while it was installed with only taking the vents off and reaching my hand in. i had sprayed it from the outside, it eats it some, so i did one coat a week for a few weeks. i feel like some of the flex seal type sprays might work ok too just try and test it. even regular spray paint wont eat too much of it up but youll have to do it several times. id try and avoid it.
hit the outside of the case with white after you get the back blacked out to make it look less sketchy

we make our shit as strong as possible, give it out to lots of cancer peeps and people who are basically at the end of traditional medical options....
my girl is a real pain patient and there is no ceiling to her tolerance level.... she takes 6-10 pills some days (cana-caps) they may be 70-100 mg each, never checked real THC levels in them; i know the shit is strong, they tend to keep me up instead of putting me down, even tho the strains are usual deep indicas and sleepy kush's

Their are a bunch of dosage calculator apps for Android. I have no idea if they are accurate.

i can do the math to calculate what my mgs are, and i can track and record what works for me so ill know for myself soon enough, i just wanted to see what was working for other people. kind of get an idea of where i stand. so plants are getting vegged till friday, lights cut for 48 hrs and then we are off! got some new glass coming for the camera, i think its gonna be a great run.

i should note, there was some slight fuckery in the leaves after transplant. i think they are coming out of it already, but it looked like a Mg issue maybe. probably something to do with the lime.

YOU the one who cant rest broski, battling the wilds of nature and all. ive got plenty of work to do this week, then ill be able to coast for a few weeks until its time to fire up bed #2 and then, my friends, ill be on my way for sure. i shouldnt have to do another full shutdown for awhile. this one cost me about 10-12 k cause i ran over into like 6 weeks of down time where it was supposed to be 2 lol. i got everything done though!
