Specs for the New Grow Room

[Fixer]

I bought a Mondi 1500 Gal/Hr pump and got the emitters to open. Now the fine tuning.

Plants are happy. The Snowball look like they are filling in. They are super sticky. I just ordered some Lemon Stinky seeds from Crazy X Seeds.

I've got to connect the feed tanks with bigger pipe. The feed isn't moving between tanks quickly enough. The new Mondi pump is draining the primary tank and vapor locking when it pumps dry. I may also need an inline pump.

The Icarus under the LEDs are out of control. I'm letting them go to see what happens. If they are like the previous runs they are going to the processor.

Out of control could be good Fixer go with the flow.

I'm with you Darksider I'm going with the flow everywhere these days. So much better than struggling:friends:.

The next up are three Snowball from Ethos Genetics. It is one of the parents of the Icarus I've been growing. Interestingly it foxtails like the Icarus. It looks like harvest is a couple of weeks off. Once it's off the table I have three Key Lime Pie that will take their place.

I'm dialing in the drip emitters. I've gone from around 2gal/day per plant to 1gal/day of feed. The irrigation lines do lock up occasionally. All it takes to clear them is to disconnect the tubing from the emitter and the line clears. I'm not sure what's causing it.

 

[Fixer]

I'm not mixing up nearly as much feed. I'm seeing a little deficiency on some of the upper leaves of the Snowball. They are getting close but I haven't started flushing them yet. I don't know if it's being caused by the reduced feeding or because they're getting close to the end.

 

[Fixer]

I'm going to begin flushing the Snowball tonight. It looks like it's a week or so away. I've got to make room for the Key Lime Pie.

I love Key Lime Pie. I've lived in California my whole life. Marie Calendars pies for special times. I moved to Florida years ago for a bit and had a Key Lime Pie from fresh Key Limes down near the Everglades, man what a treat. Watch out for the pythons and gators at the fruit stand / pie stand though. ( I absolutely am scared to death of snakes) gators not so much. My pops used to catch Rattlesnakes in Norcal as a kid. Stick them in my moms flower beds till she got home. Anyways... sorry bout the ramble.

Does the Key Lime taste like it sounds?

Hi gsxr97, I'll have to let you know. I've never grown it. If it does I'll be psyched. Personally I'm staying away from snakes and gators. Not a big fan of reptiles myself.

I'm having issues with the drip emitters. When I run the feed tank down and get air in the system they don't seem to purge air well. Some of them will work and some I have to disconnect and reconnect to get them to work again. Anyway, the Snow ball are coming down Sunday. I've kept the Key Lime Pie nice and short so they survive the HPS table.

Sounds like you need an air bleed valve.

Thanks Vanilla Phoenix. I didn't know I needed an air bleed valve but I think you're right. I appreciate it!

Snowball come down tonight. They look very much like the Icarus. Foxtailed but not as loose. We'll see what they look like after they dry.

 

[Fixer]

The Snowball are down and the Key Lime Pie are in their place. I'm trying something new with one of the plants. I've seen something called the TipPot and I going to start growing one of the three KLPs on it's side. I cut a slit in the side and bottom of a cloth pot and encapsulated the coco so it won't fall out when the plan is sideways.

Thanks Dandelo, It's been a labor of love. I'm still working on growing good weed consistently but stay tuned. Do you have anything growing?
