Hey Hows it goin Mr Mustard! Yea the temps went up about 4 degreez from 80 to 84 but its coolin off round here now so Im gonna let it go till summer, its allready down to 80 from the seasonal change annyhow. I figure on gettin one of them stand alone ac units I saw. I got a window unit venting cool air into the room but its in a window and I got duct runnin it to my room cause its got no windows. It worked for 2 years with the 2 lights but this third one kinda puts me in a position where Im gonna haveta get onna those li'l stand alone ac units for this commin summer.
Just a word on my mother :smile: .
I got this current mom in a 3" basket of rocks in a 5 gallon bukit. I tried flood&drain coco choir,wicks,bubble drippers prolly some other shitt that I dont remember but I found this to be the best way to keep a mom. She was cut off my last mom when she got too big and hard to manage under the lights. Shes about 9 months old or so now and I figure I might keep her a while longer. When she gets a bit hard to manage Il keep a nice cutting and veg it instead of flowerin it and when its ready to take cuttings off of I can get rid of this current mom but like I said, shes still got plenty of good cuttings to give. :smile: Shes in a 5 gallon bukit with a bubble stik in it and shes eatin FoxFarm Grow Big. This heres some excelent shitt and I swear by it. Ya gotta make shure ya get the 3-2-6 tho, they got some other "ff grow bigs" but they dont work worth a shitt in these bukkits. I mix it at 10 ml per gallon and I ph it to 6.4 and thats it. Thats all I do. When the nutes go down a gallon or so(almost daily) I just top it off. No flushes or bukkit changes or anything, its the easiest shitt to do :smile: . I get 8 cuttings every other week from her and I cull out 4. Il be back later with some pics, I put new clones in the flower room tonight. I like doin it late in theyr day so they get a night rite away and they can aclimate theyr roots to theyr new enviorment in the dark of night for theyr first day, its just somethin I do but it works for me, in 2 days or so I got root hairs poppin out real nice. Aero roots do an aero thing that looks prety cool in the root chambers and it only takes the system a couple of days to make the roots erupt. From there its pretty incredible. Todays a good day to get pics because Im puttin the new clones in and everythings on its 2 week mark, I mean that theyrs 2 week olds in theyr along with 4 week olds and 6 week olds and when I put the new ones in later tonight the room will be full. New flowers,2 week olds,4 week olds and 6 week olds.
Its always full after ya put new clones in it. Then on tuesday when the 6.5 week olds leave there'l be 3 sets. Heres the new clones still in the veg room.
Heres what I like the roots to look like before I putem in the flowerr room. and heres a pic ofem in the flower room.
Crappy pics aint they. Il go down before the lights come on and tryan get a couple better ones of the flower room. :smile:
Looks crouded in there dont it? Its cool tho, theyr only like this(4 sets in room at once)from saturday to tuesday. It only happens every other week for 3 days, I putem in late in theyr day saturdays. Theyl get spread out a li'l bit tuesday after the 6 week olds are 6.5 weeks old and are harvested. The new ones will also get theyr own 400 watt light then instead of that goofy li'l HomeBoy 100 watt cf I made a while ago. Its just what they need for theyr first fyew days tho, then it goes back on its storage hook. I think I said it a while ago, its kinda like spinnin plates. :smile:
I dont think I got a pic of it all at once but its a nice li'l pile. Il get some later of it in my dryin cabinet. 2 weeks ago I hit 4.5 oz, this time looks a bit beter, From hear on Il be doin a bit beter because that last 400 watts I added to the garden will start the flowers stronger, it already has and theyr already commin up stronger already so I figure we'l be seein the results of it in 2 weeks.
Hey Howdy! Heres a couple pics of my 33 day olds. They got 12 days to go ! They realy put it on in the last 2 weeks too! Man! I had it commin like this a while ago but when I added my last root chamber It cut my yields down from the high 7's(oz's) to the low 4's(qp). This is the first chamber to get things goin back the way I likem! -Annyhow.. We autta be hittin it like this every other week now from here on !
i can see a progression/learning curve in this thread...even though you have been doing it the same way. the pix get better, the buds get fatter, and your yields seem to increase, also!
i'm sorry to say this, but your mrs. cave ape takes better pix! hehe
