I kept agitating and it still was giving me results. It was 1am and my back was killing me so I had to call it quits. Put all the results in the freezer and cleaned stuff up for the most.

Catching up on watering and cutback again

Clones look good in general. Need to treat some for PM but thats not difficult. Maintain proper environment and treat with sulfur (and purecrop1 if affordable.)

Ordered 100 #10 scalpel blades without handle, about 24 cents canadian per unit without the handle. Not bad. Will continue to re use them but it's handy to have fresh clean ones on hand for important tasks or if I'm in a rush.

Need to figure out if I can easily remove all the rust from the rusty ones. I can easily scour them and sharpen them by hand as needed, but that's not very pragmatic to scale.

So i ordered 100 blades on top of the 100 I have, and 20 more mini trays as I mentioned.

Those mini trays are working amazingly, and are just really easy to store clones in longterm. If you need to keep plants small like I do, it's such a help.

Not much else to report right now. Oh here's a nice pic, I got to see my mom and her dog Miles Morales. Also have the 2 digilux 400w hps bulbs to put in at the same time to ensure a more even spectrum across the 8x4 for flower for more efficient selection. For now.

I also said to my mom (can you tell i talk to her a lot?) if the apocalypse hits I'm gonna be really glad I have these scalpel blades lol

Need to figure out how and when to order a case of clone plugs. Can't keep buying 50 at a time.

Getting some solid work done. Gonna be a long haul as always but just cleaned up a bunch, watered a bunch of plants, made two buckets of feed, gonna go back and check the clones then see what needs watering and cutting back. With the hash making I wasn't getting much done on that side but I got a lot of cleaning done so it's a lot easier to get around and use the surfaces available. Overall over the months I've got a ton done so I'm just pretty motivated to keep that going and improve things around here.

Tahoe cleaned up, transplanted, and watered. Almost all of it was fresh promix herb & veg type. I almost forgot how big a 15 gal is to handle, move, water etc. Thank God for the "robber handles."

Still a lot to do but Im proud of myself, I got a lot done today. Having a lot of things in the way and feeling so stressed and overwhelmed was not good for me. It's a lot better now. When gmo looks ready i will harvest and freeze it and and clean the tent so Tahoe and others can go in to flower.

Taking a break now but will continue cleaning and watering etc. Got a lot done but the plants need a LOT of attention and it was getting a bit overwhelming. With a lot of tasks done its easier to give them the attention they deserve.

GMO x2 day 83 flower
Like i mentioned i am cleaning things up etc so i got in there and cleaned what i could pre-emptively and removed dead leaves.
Might adjust and remove more fans another time, need to focus on main garden. Looks like that entire area might need treating with sulfur, which is doable but I need to get them watered and cut back first.

Made more feed, am catching up on watering and cleaning lots as I go.

Enjoy the pictures, I guess the purple is from the lower Temps and the forum etc.

Gave HiRo#3 a big cutback, will take and post photo. Will flower along Tahoe. Was looking around for a one gallon fabric pot or something, there's only the one that Original Stanley was in. I don't wanna reuse that right away or wait to sanitize it so I'm just gonna go with the one gallon plastic pot it's already in.

So Tahoe 15gal, HiRo#3 1gal

I wanted to get another run of dragon hammer in and feed it right. The plant I was gonna use as a mother looks perfectly ripe for transplanting and flipping not too long after. My friend HighTilliDie gifted me a rain science bag (of a few) the size is like like a big tomato tin. So I'm gonna transplant Dragon Hammer to that. I will have to stay on top of dryback but i wanna see how it does in that and under the 240W led. Try and turn it up.

Gonna continue watering and cutting plants back and cleaning. Found a Bubba I might also run along. Not sure how many plants can fit along the Tahoe in the 40x40" but there's gonna be some nice ones to pick from.

Tentative plan:

Transplant and cutback bubba, 3 gallon fabric
Transplant and cutback AnB, the slightly bigger than 1 gal hard plastic pot HiRo4 is in (AnB loves humidity)
Transplant dragon hammer, tomato tin rain science bag

HiRo3 give light, 1gal hard plastic (topanga leaner)
Tahoe give light, 15 gal fabric with robber handles

Huge plants, hope you get the grow cleaned up very soon. ☮️ They would perform so much better without pest and disease pressure. Used substrate is something i put out right after harvest, just causes too many problems.

Let your collection of nice genetics shine. :greenstars:
You are running perpetual, right?

Perpetual for now until I get enough stockpiled to shut flower down and clean and change things

Also realistically I can't afford to use new media every time. I'm always buying more and more as it is.
I feel you on that! Only using fresh substrate every run but the used can pile up fast. Old substrate gets used to mix potting soil for the veggies.
:biggrin:
The handling and cost are reasons why i have my eyes on coco and want to switch but that investment has to wait.
