Freedom 45! 10x12x8 Evolving Vert Retirement Plan!

[Arminius]

Looking good, Arminius! I'm looking forward to your new thread. How many watts are you running total then in flower?

Are the mites just on your flowering plants? Hit up your vegging girls with floramite, it kills mites like nothing else.
HGO

Thanks HGO! The mites are only on 2 of the 12 plants in flower right now. I hit them with a few things, but I am getting too close to harvey to spray anything else. I figure the ladybugs will take a dent out of them, they are already eating even though they are still in the dark for a few more hours.
Once I set up the 3rd donut, I will have the capacity to do three stacks of three 600w. So potentially, I can reach up to 5400w, but I will never get to that point. The beauty of doing these perpetual, is I only turn on the lights as they get tall enough to use them. For example my sativa donut used only one bulb for the first three weeks, and they unfortunately wont get tall enough to get to a third light until I dial in veg times. Down the road I expect the most I will be pulling is 3600w. One site with one light, the next with two lights, and the third with three lights.

I bet those ladybugs are so fuckin' high right now....

I sure hope it works out for ya dude.

For sure! I just hope they have a food coma from eating mites. Maybe they will get the munchies...

Fukin critters.....Guess those stoner ladybugs gonna have some serious sticky feet by the time harvey rolls around huh ?.....

Good luck Bro...Perpetual is as perpetual does.....Handle it....

Peace.....Freds.........

This thread SUCKS w/o oriented correctly also

Been busy lately... Chopped the two Chocolope, didn't want to take a chance of them spreading the borg. I read anywhere from 8-12 weeks on flower time for them, and mine went almost 10, so should be fine. I will post some pics when I am not so tired from working on a roof all day, since rain is incoming tomorrow.
Going to start the flush for the diesels tomorrow. With a clearing solution, they should be ready for the chop on the 1st. I wanted to take them another week, but I will be out of town for a couple of days, and they need to be dried and trimmed before then. The next 6 ECSD are so fucking huge, it has been all I can do to keep them from taking over my veg room. I am scared to top them again, since they will just get bushier, and I would end up having to prune branches, rather than suckers.
The blue dragon will finish 4 weeks tomorrow, which leaves 4-5 more weeks. The first time I ran this strain, running RDWC, they were done at about 50 days. They are looking very nice, and I am excited to see one of my favorite strains in jars again soon...

Chopping that early? We are waiting till Mar 6th to chop the USD....I know being tired been up since 4:45 am...sitting for 4 hours to get unloaded in Salt Lake City, 23 degrees out....and I have a cold...take care bro...I know those diesels are going to be amazing.

 

[Arminius]

I would like to push them another week, but there are multiple factors dictating the chop.
They will have gone 10.5 weeks by the first, so it is not too early. Amber trichomes have begun to show up, I will be out of town when 12 weeks come around, and the next 6 need to go into flower asap...
The diesel donut was not mono-cropped, and it was sort of a thrown together crop. The next 6 ECSD are going to hit my ceiling, and they will be perfect specimens to fill my first donut, and get to that third light.
I will also be needing to make room for 6 more blue dragon that are ready to come out of the cloner. The blue dragons in flower now only had 2-3 weeks in veg, and I want twice that next run. Right now I have 5 weeks til the chop, so I will at least get 4 solid weeks of veg. Next time I will veg for 6 weeks. I have everything documented in the attempt for complete dialage...
My solution is a larger veg area, which I am planning in the next 4-6 weeks, after I clear my plate of some important items...

Harvest Day Pics!

Harvest Day Pics!

Chopped the Chocolope the other day, dried and trimmed to 4oz. They only reached the first light, so 2/6 plants equals 200w which should be just over .5 gpw.
The ECSD buds are rock hard and a breeze to trim. I am expecting 3-4 oz per plant.

Just about finished trimming the first ECSD. My fiance will be trimming when she gets off work at the bar tonight, and we should have it all trimmed up by end of day tomorrow.
I will be moving my 6 ECSD beasters into flower tomorrow, and transplanting 6 more Blue Dragons into veg.

 

[megayields]

HEll I thought you were up North...lol...nice work...gro-bro and I chop tomorrow, Im trimming the Abused Dog atm.....I should stop by and see how it turned out!

 

[Arminius]

I will be trimming the USD tomorrow, should be home all day if you want to stop by. I might have to run into town for an hour, so just let me know.

 

[megayields]

Can I bring over a bag and trim with you LMAO!

 

[Arminius]

Of course!

 

[megayields]

OK well I hope you don't mind if I bring a bag of Abusive Dog and my Fiskar's and trim with you lol!

 

[megayields]

dammit I'm getting a contact high...double post or whatever!

Thought of you last week when I did a roof. Have to do them now and then so people don't get wind that I am growing. Have to have a cover for the money I get for growing.

Nice looking buds.

 

[Shcrews]

those sours are looking great! is that the only strain you are puling right now? oh nevermind, also chocolope i see

i am cuttin down my Blue Dragon stadium right now , they are looking very nice, decent yeild and dark purple color.

 

[megayields]

Get some PICS UP Shcrews were all dying to see how you did on that killah BLue Dragon

Has anyone noticed how the Santa Cruz crew has all it's flower rooms on basicly the same cycle? It's like were a bunch of women all living together and everyone get's their "monthly visit" at the same time! We need to stagger our harvest's so as not to upset the natural balance of good weed "supply and demand" locally!

LOL

I had to put on a roof last week, hope it is the last one for a while... I have connections at the local hydro store, and was thinking of getting a part time job there. If things go well, this summer I want to get my commercial fishing license, and use that as a front...

 

[Ichabod Crane]

It is good to say that I am doing a roof once in a while. It would be better if I said I was out boating though. My friend has a hydro store that I go help at once in a while as well. Got my $98 dollar check from him today. And cash for 1.5 ounces from my real job.
