TheNewOldGuy is Back At It!

[TheNewOldGuy]

Hey guys! I am new here, but I have been active on other forums in the past. I have a small indoor perpetual, 4'x4' veg tent and a 4'x8' bloom tent.

4'x4' tent has a 400 watt older LED light that uses Vero COBs, I have an AC Infinity humidifier to keep VPD dialed in, I am supplementing CO2 targeting 1300ppm. I have Pulse monitors to keep an eye on things and since I don't have a bloom tent setup I am using the veg setup to get used to the new equipment (Pulse, CO2 controller). I am using VBX with Shine for nutrients, I also use CalMag and add Cannazym and use Great White for Mycos when planting/transplanting. I run Octopots and in bloom I scrog one plant per 4'x4'.

A look at the tent as it sits. I start them in solos then move them to the Octopots once they are going dry within 24 hours.

The 3 gallon Octopot has a Critical Jack Auto, a seed I had laying around and decided to pop to get some weight out of the unused veg tent space.

In the cups I have two different female phenos (Farmer Freeman for the win!) of Capulator's Goat Gas

A while back, I had a pheno of Purple Punch that everyone really enjoyed, but the yield was low. A friend helped me out and selfed it for me and while they had it, they crossed it with their Gorilla Glue #4 pheno. I have never grown it out and only had two beans of it left. The first was a dud and the second I really had to nurse it to pop, but she is doing alright now.

That's my little grow for now, I am just a novice who has been at it for a while and gets lucky sometimes.

Welcome to the forum we all need a bit luck now and again.

Today I up-potted the Goat Gas and Purple Punch x Gorilla Glue #4 from their Solo cups to the 6 gallon Octopots and took some pics. Both girls are short and squat, probably only 6-8 inches tall. I expect to see them explode shortly once their roots take hold in these Octopots. I probably should have up-potted sooner, but I can be a bit of a procrastinator.

Previously, I sent the Goat Gas samples off to Farmer Freeman to get sexed and luck was on my side, both females. I am only flowering out one of them so I passed the second along to a local medical grow facility. The remaining Goat Gas girl, she seems very happy, pushing out 11 bladed fan leaves which I believe is a first for me.

The Purple Punch x Gorilla Glue #4 is doing alright, 9 bladed fans up to, decently healthy:

My Critical Jack Auto isn't much to look at, but I wanted to get something flowering fast to practice on before I flip the Goat Gas and Purple Punch x Gorilla Glue #4, so it will do nicely. Just getting back into the swing of things:

I still have quite a bit to do to get the garden together. My lights are older and HLG has their Croptober sale going on right now, so I am going to get new lights for both veg and bloom. I am changing up my dry tent a bit as well, so there is a good bit of work to be done. I am hoping within the month to have the bloom area set up with the new lights and some automation via a controller, likely just the AC Infinity setup since I run a pretty basic setup.

So we got off to a rocky start! The auto girl got the worst of it, I forgot to go easy on the nutes, with the Octopots you have to dial them down a bit and I forgot that part. Luckily the Critical Jack Auto was there to take the beating. It's a white label that I bought for cheap, so it served it's purpose.

The Purple Punch x Gorilla Glue #4 never really missed a beat and gobbled up the high PPM with just a few spots.

Goat Gas took a bit longer to fully recover, she was stunted with some burnt tips, I lowered the PPM and now she has some roots in the res and is up and ready to take off.

I am getting the bloom tent ready to go, it will have 2 HLG 650Rs and I will be scrogging out the Goat Gas and Purple Punch x Gorilla Glue #4, each in their own 4' x 4' area. Once I get them flipped, I will be running four autos in the veg area, I was able to get a few packs from Night Owl on the Owloween drop. I also acquired some Mephisto gear that I am excited to run out. I have some older packs from CSI Humboldt on the way that I will be running out as well, along with some Dusted Bud Genetics possibly. In the past I have limited my plant count and grown some large plants, but I am considering scaling the plant size back a bit so that I can run out more genetics in my small space.

Thanks for stopping in and happy growing!
