Thanks for the kudso GP The plants were vegged various times...2-3 weeks being the average. I will get some full plant pics for you next time I pull em out. I topped and trained all of them.
I am not a big fan of the arcata smoke...what can I say, its not my cup of tea. But I do like the gumbyesk quality to its stems. I made that little loop in the stem for fun You should see the mom...it is pretzel shape would make Auntie Anne proud
I've got some interesting strains in veg right now, so this should be a good one to tag

I've made some upgrades to the exhibit since the last time we talked...http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=13739. I've still got a fairly limited space to do all of my dirty work in, 3x4x4 total. I am still rocking the 600 but I have added side lighting in the form of t5's recently. At my local shop you can buy single t5's fixtures that you can daisy chain together, like christmas lights. I got 2 for each wall. One wall got 4 footers the other got 3 footers. The 4 footers give of 54 watts each and the 3 footers give of 39 watts each. So I was able to boost my total watts by 186!! I am now up to 786 or 65.5 watts per square foot and 8966 lumens per square foot.
I added the extra light...because I have also added Co2 to the mix!! I tried to seal my room, but with the volume being so small and the light putting of the heat it does, my room got hot quick, with no AC as an option, I had to comprimise. I had to buy a couple of sequential timers, one with a photosensor and one without. I have the exaust fans shut off for 30 minutes every two hours. I boost for the predetermined time to get my room to 1500 ppm...then after the 30 minutes of Co2 baking is over, my fan kicks back on and starts the cycle all over again. Co2 is fantastic!!
Another cool thing I was able to do with my timer was to hook up my vaportek in conjunciton with my fan turning off. My exaust is hooked up to my carbon scrubber, so when the fan is on I have odor control, when the fan is off, I have a smelly house!! I was able to plug the vaportek into the same timer as my co2, so that when my fan kicks off, my vaportek kicks on...its a beautiful thing!
Whats happenin CCE!! Hows life? Me and some other seasoned tokers were talking about that just the other day...I have shared this particular cut with several people since it was so graceously bestowed on me...wave: thanks again you two). There has really only been one person who has enjoyed the acrata product as much as the rest of the lineup. If I had grown this plant from seed there is no way I would have retained her. This is going to be my 4th complete run with her, I was trying to see if I could beef her up, but I can't...not even with the Co2. Which surprises me, because I have heard so much talk about how the arcata was top notch smoke. I have even seen pics on the icmag boards of arcata colas that are BLOWN up!! I've come to think that the blown up TW's had to have been hydro with chemical nutrients, I grow mostly in soil with organics...not the most conducive for monster buds. Oh well..this is the last run of arcata in my world. I have a mom still....but only because I really really like the bendy stems...lol. I am having fun turning her into a living pretzel....I will post pics later for you to see
ah...a garden shot!! Thats fantastic..thanks South!! I haven't figured out the lighting right on my cam to get a good garden shot.
You folks can kind of see what is going on here....I made a wall out of B&W poly with the tarp zippers to keep the light and Co2 in...I roll it up to get the the garden
hey lorax and hurricane good to see you both You think that is extreme...wait till you see the mom. lol I will upade the exhibit with pics on a weekly basis, as long as there is something nice to look at. I will snap a couple of the mom next time I break out the cam...she is a true work of living art
