Good morning friends! Yep always working, working with a cold sucks but hey it's gotta get done. Thank god my helpers are young guys with strong backs, lol.

Oh yeah, I took my two 5' tall Grape Stomper moms and threw them in flower after we took 25 cuttings off each one, and the same for the two Purple Mr Nice moms after we took 50 off each one. Those are about 4' tall already and almost as wide, so right now I have:

1 row of 20 Jackpot with 2 Grape Stomper moms on the end
1 row of 22 Double purple with 2 PMN moms at the end
2 rows of 25 PMN at 4 weeks flower

Vegging is 60 grape stompers

 

[teddybud]

looking great lazy!!!

 

[Lazyman]

Thanks Teddy, I'm off to the basement to mix nutes and take pix, be back in a cpl hours

 

[Lazyman]

Ha you guys thought I forgot!

Party time people, room at full(ish) capacity!

Here's the veg room, 60 grape stompers:


And 2 new Jackpot moms, not bad for 4 weeks veg under fluoros!



You guys don't wanna see the flower room do ya?

Nahhh


The 2 grape stomper moms gave me 50 more cuts, let's see what they do in flower after 4 months veg:



PMN at 4 weeks flower


PMN on the right, double purple on the left


PMN

Double purple



Jackpot at day 1 flower, I put 6 into 4 gallon pots and left one more big one as a control, let's see if they outproduce the 2 gallon smartpots!


More PMN

2 PMN moms are gonna flower too, got 50 cuts off each!


Man the double purples are buuuushy

Jackpots



Finally full!

Foliar sprayed every plant with Penetrator, Liquid Light, Floramite SC, Safers fungicide and Gravity. Whew! I know i know, probably shouldn't mix that many things in one, but I haven't had a problem with it yet. Takes a full 2 gallon sprayer to do both rooms I found, haha.

So looking at the buds on the PMN, do they look underdeveloped to anyone? They are getting nice and frosty already, man I need a better camera so I can get some macros.

Wow it looks awsome in there!
So you'll be chopping 8 lights monthly now?
This show just keeps getting better and better...



K+ You're living my dream...

Keep up the good work

 

[Lazyman]

Yep that's the plan, every 30 days chop 8 lights worth and move another batch of 4-week vegged clones in. Oof, trimming a week out of each month I bet, that's gonna be fun.

Thanks for the props and the K+ buddy, it sure is a spectacle to behold!

 

[Lazyman]

Oh this is too funny:

So we had a chinchilla that a freidn gave us years ago, and a couple months ago we rescued another pair of females. Kept in separate cages.

The other day the old male started screamin his fool head off. Go check on the chins and they were all ok, but on the way out my wife noticed something squirmin on a glue trap behind the freezer. Looked like a rat or something, but I picked it up, and it was a baby chinchilla!

Looking around, we found another one hiding behind a shelf. Turned out one of the adopted females was pregnant when we got her, and the babies jumped out of the cage within hours of being born!

Meet Cookie and Sticky (the blonde one)

 

[joe fresh]

lol, you could start a chinchilla rescue farm, lol


hey lazyman, on a few of the pics i see some extreme leaf curl, would that be from overfert? im seeing thing on a few of my sativas and im assuming that its an early sign of over fert

 

[Peat]

Nice update LM!!!

Couple o' questions, if I may:

How'd ya get that lil thing off the glue trap?
LOL @ "Sticky"


Does it matter if the dripper lines are diff lengths?


During res change outs, how do you keep air from getting in the line?
Does it matter?

Thanks Lazy!

Yep exactly, I cut the nutes way back after that and hosed em with RO foliar for a week, added H&G drip Clean to the reservoirs and they are STILL curled. I didn't see any negative impact on the size of the buds so I didn't pull em for an all-out flush, but if I weren't lazy I would have.

Rule of thumb is 2 gallons of plain water for every gallon of medium, shit it would take me all week to flush 50 plants, lol

 

[Lazyman]

Nice update LM!!!

Couple o' questions, if I may:

Thanks man, and of course!

How'd ya get that lil thing off the glue trap?
LOL @ "Sticky"

Aw she was sooo tired, I just gently pulled up one paw at a time, and rinsed her off. Once her feet were wet the glue came off in little clumps like rubber cement.

Does it matter if the dripper lines are diff lengths?

Nope, even the 5' ones can still shoot water 3-4", which is WAAAAY more water than they need on a constant basis.

During res change outs, how do you keep air from getting in the line?
Does it matter?

Nah the lines purge instantly, at any given time at least some of em are slightly open, and they'll stay open until the cone gets wet again. Air is not a problem with gravity-fed Blumats!

Thanks Lazy!

Any time!

yeah i noticed it on my purple skunks and super silver hazes, but no burning so imo its excess nutes and not excess salts, but i as well cant really flush so i just been watering with plain ro water for 2 week watering every second day

 

[Lazyman]

Well nutes=salts, so it's kinda the same problem. Mobile elements like N can usually be foliar washed away with plain RO water, but others usually require a medium flush.

 

[joe fresh]

well i guess your right but i always thaught that organics had lesssalt content in it than chem ferts|? im using half organic half chem, but hey i could be wrong, but i do know diff plants act diferently to over fert than others, my m39 went yellow with leaf tip burn, and my ssh had the same leaf curl as yours but no burning or yellowing

 

[AfroSheep]

hey man how are those blue drag, and sour grapes or whatever going?

 

[L-Immortal]

Great stuff lazy, shoot I don’t pay much attention to this “groowroom/design room. I decided to pop in and what do I find? You are putting on one hell of a show. You should easily hit your goal with my calculations.

 

[SuperSizeMe]

Lookin' stellar in there, LM

I'm gonna go vert lights one day. It just seems that you're using the lights so much more efficiently that way.

Congrats on the new rugrat additions

Peace,

SSM

 

[Lazyman]

hey man how are those blue drag, and sour grapes or whatever going?

The Blue Dragon and my brothers true purple are doing ok, they were really lousy cuts so they are taking forever to root, I'm getting some new replacements in a week or two though.

The Sour Grape/Grape Stomper cuts are great, have 60 in veg, the two moms are flowering, and I have replacement moms veggin too. Took another 50 cuts off em before I flipped the moms so I will have plenty. I think I'll transplant them into 4" pots in a couple weeks and just handwater the lot. There are two trays of PMN as well, I figure since I got a big head start on the next batch they should be HUGE in two months, and there will be 150 clones instead of 50 to choose from.

Thanks very much! Yeah it would really be somethin to hit 3-5# per KW of energy used, I may not hit it the first round but I just might on future runs. Once I have AC I'll try doing a NON-staggered lighting array too (probably half HPS and half MH) with all 16 lights blazing at once, just to see what difference it makes in the final yield.
