Hick in the sticks: a continuous tale of seed pop'n, pollen chuck'n,& bud grow'n!

[Corpsey]

looking awesome in here hicksticky.

I love having multiple grow spaces, the more space you get the more it gets filled and like you said, the list of things to grow gets longer and longer haha. a good problem to have.

Are you going to the Emerald cup? ha, if you do go that's just more genetics added to your list of things to grow.

Thanks Corpsey
Multi spaces are a very nice solution to that problem lol.

I don't believe I will be able to make it to the Emerald Cup ...... would love to tho.
Like to start trying to get to more events.... just to chill and take it all in, meet new and old friends..... maybe enter something one day just to join in the fun.

Well rooms are doing faily well temps are still slightly low at the root zone, I might have to get some type of heating mat or raise up off the floor a few inches, how are things lookin in the sticks?

Things are doing well up here, got some supplies to make a new batch of soil.. up potting most everything.... I've held them back as long as I could.

Ya low root zone temps are the norm this time of year for us up north lol.. I was thinking on maybe we through some insulation board on the floor for an added layer, that and recycle some of that exhaust could help as well.
I have a feeling that once all the lights are on in veg and flower the temps will get up n the range we look for. Maybe a smaller exhaust fan might be in order??
Next big task will be the ventilation system, get it so adjustments can be made between veg and flower, winter and summer.

 

[BCSticky]

I found some 4" insulated venting pipe maybe it will help with the heat loss on the recirculation portion of the venting I am currently in need of a couple of tees for tie ins and a couple dampers and I think iwill have it pretty well set on high temps and low temps

 

[SG1]

The average ground temps at 1' below the surface is 50-60F during grow seasons.
Keeping soil at those temps are normal conditions.
Night air temps during the grow seasons average 50-65F.

I use outdoor grow season temps as a basis for monitoring my lights off and soil temps.
Keeps me from worrying.

Good thread man. I love all the crossing experiments. totally my style

Definitely more to come been chucking quit a bit this summer and have hopes to get to few more this winter.

Here's Another Chuck made.... Goblin God x Khalisi both are Sanctuary Gardens genetics.
I popped a couple over the summer and grew out two outdoors and one indoors all shown similar results... Nice structures, great frost production, and awesome flavors.
I absolutely loved the Goblin God I grew and tasted.... a really great greasy dank fruit berry flavor. Only issue was she was temperamental in deciding when she wanted to flower.
So I chucked some Khalisi pollen on her and here we are lol.

Goblin God x Khalisi
Grew under 28 watts LED in a cab, she's about 30 inches tall.

I have several cuts of her to run a do further test on..... Gonna flip one soon under some hid lights to see how well she can yield.

New room and vegging update....

Finally got the new room(s) fired up and vegging away... these are at a buddies house.(he's around here somewhere lol)

One side, 400mh.
Got some GG4, Khalisi #2, MCD(2)

Close up of the Khalisi #2, MCD.

Other side of flower room 600mh.... Purple Nocturnal #1, Goblin God x Khalisi, New York Cookies x Freak.

[/URL][/IMG]

Veg cab area.. 4.5' x 3' lite by t5's atm... has same sized cab above just shorter at 3 ft. Thinking small one will be for clones, moms, and starts. Larger cab is for tweens getting ready for flower.
Got some GG4 x Khalisi, sour bubble x Khalisi, NYC x Freak..
Close up of the gg4 x Khalisi and sb x Khalisi is center.

Never heard of a GPW w/ 30w before

I think she's gonna kick some ass under the HPS

 

[hicksticky]

Ya I think she should do real nice under the big lights..... Gonna veg a bit in 7 gal with a little training.
She's got a nice rugged structure and her buds are rock hard frosty and reek of greasy blueberry funk.

Waiting for the final say after she is done drying..... but by the looks of her I don't think it's a stretch for gpw under the diy leds.

 

[whiteberrieS]

Greasy blueberries

 

[heady blunts]

haha i didn't see that you grew that in a micro cab. that is one sweet plant for 30w!

 

[BCSticky]

That is amazing for a micro setup seems to produce right along with some of the best hids I've seen

Ya that lil cab sure keeps me with a head stash and beans
Super easy and pretty cheap.
But I will admit I like the volume of the big rooms

 

[BCSticky]

I think for hunting breeding etc you have to have a decent amount of space but it is possible with less as you have shown us a few time here in the past

 

[BCSticky]

Can't wait for someone out this way to pop some real jam stocks... they should be wild or so it is hoped

 

[hicksticky]

Yup I've gotten a little lucky in the past lol... plus testing for some talented breeders helped.
I try to do some selection in veg but in reality being able to run some numbers is way better.
It happens a lot in smaller grows where ya would run a couple out of a pack...... not find a real keeper and move on when just a couple beans more into the pack is where that stellar female dwells.

 

[hicksticky]

Speaking of popping.....
I just soaked some.
Strawberry diesel f4s,
pineapple haze x Jam Roc,
and Dirty 530 from Bone yard.
That's just to start off the winter season

Just about ready to start to flower 3 white lotus x Lucky Charms, MCD, Khalisi#2, GG4, and I have a New York Cookies x Freak #4 one wk into flower.
