Premier Cannabis LLC - LED run Tier 1 in WA

Thanks for the warm wishes everyone :)

The gloves aren't 502, they're an OSHA requirement. Rooting hormones aren't good for your hands and we're using Dip N' Grow which is a concentrated liquid. Gets everywhere and I believe it causes cancer with extended exposure. Have to check my notes but I think that's right. We're being careful with every chemical we use - the quantity and amount of time spent handling hazardous chemicals is different compared to smaller scale grows. We're also just being careful with our employees on principle.

Purple Jolly Rancher cuts for the first table are rooted and are starting hardening off tonight, and the moms are almost all transplanted from their 5s and 7s into 20 gallon containers so they can start bushing enough to clone in bulk. It's great to finally see this start to take shape.

Going to try and get my smart phone activated tomorrow I guess...
 
20 days in

20 days in

Please excuse the lack of updates - been very busy around here recently. Finally just gave up on the cell phone pics and used the security system instead.

This is mostly just the mothers, the first two tables' worth of plants are in the back center in 3.5" pots, with the last four tables of clones still rooting. We'll be starting flowering the first table in about a week.

Strains for the first crop are:
Orange Creamsicle
Blackberry
Cinderella 99
Alaskan Thunderfuck
Purple Jolly Rancher
Pineapple Express
...And a couple testers of our supposedly CBD rich varieties to get an idea of the cannabinoid ratios before we do full runs of them.

Orange Creamsicle and Pineapple Express clones didn't take... Last time I tell someone to read Cervantes' Bible and do whatever that says if they can't get hold of me. One does not simply open the vents on week-old cuts. Enough of the other clones rooted that it's probably only going to set those tables back by a week or so, though, so small potatoes. Other than that, no new updates. Just vegging out the first crop and hacking our moms into shape.

I'll shoot for a pic update next Sunday. The veg room should be full by then :D
 
Your wish is my command :)

I'm now out of town. I'm going to law school in a different state and consulting long distance so I can't take the pics myself, but I'm happy to share the pics I get sent for diagnosis purposes. Yes, we are aware of the slight overnuting and are taking corrective actions :) Things got a bit out of whack while I was trying to move and work long weeks at the same time. Plus I broke my elbow falling UP the stairs while I was hauling boxes. Anyways. Busy busy.

The first of two flower rooms should be filled up and ready for a full room shot next week. We're running a table each of Alaskan Thunderfuck and Purple Jolly Rancher and a half-and-half table of PJR and "Nebu's" Blackberry. The blackberrys are about a week or ten days behind the ATF and PJR, don't have pictures of it at the moment because there are no problems to diagnose.

The first table will be flipped in a few more days and the plants going on it have been topped and pruned up. Table 1 day 1 flowering pics to come early next week!

In case anyone was wondering, the nice lady pictured in the clone shot isn't my mother, she's our first hire. She's a wonderful woman with a few decades' commercial greenhouse experience and we're very lucky to have her.

And for reference two weeks later - DO NOT blindly follow any book's advice on cloning. Gotta learn the feel and your climate. The vents were left cracked on these domes about a week early and it straight toasted two tables' worth of clones. We're having to top, cut numbers, and basically just toss a SOG out the window for the first crop to stay on schedule.

Cinderella 99 right, Pineapple Express left. There are about five trays of each. Pineapple Express is 21 days old in this picture, the C99 is 11 days old and was ready for transplant two days after this picture. The PE had the vents opened, the C99 did not. There was one more batch that had vents opened and was just two days younger than Pineapple Express and it got completely toasted and has already been destroyed.

As an aside, we won't start selling clones until every batch looks like the one on the left. That's why we haven't started advertising that yet, for any of my fellow 502 growers who are watching and considering buying from us :)

First harvest is in but my family fired me before it came in, ran me out of the state and then refused to pay me. I'm not going to be updating this thread anymore. Not bitter at all or anything. Oh no.

Wow, that's beyond wrong but you're aware of that. Sounds financially motivated after you did all the legwork and research.(and everything else I'm sure). Can't help but think you'll land on your feet though, you seem way ahead of most when it comes to planning.

Won't be your last rodeo but that's some depressing news, at least your not locked up I guess? Sounds like they would have tried that if they could have.
