Toast's Perpetual Hydro Grow Lab

[toastfighter2]

So here I go, my very own Grow log. Here's the deal, everything is already in full swing, but I am going to follow one plant (or possibly 4,total strains I run, all 8 to 9 weekers) the whole way through this, and updating at least once a week. I am in the process of upgrading a few things in my cab, ie last week I built a remote ballast cool tube out of my 150 watt security light because my temps were a little high. Here is a list of what I am working with.
Bloom Box-
1-DIY 7.5 gallon DWC tub(soon to be replaced with at least 18 RDWC bucket)
1- 150 watt hps remote ballasted(now that my temps are down, I am looking into a 250 watt)
1-DIY cool tube
5- 27 watt CFLs(3daylight, 2 warm) (on cords to lower down to canopy)
1-heavy duty timer(for lights and fans)
Clone Box
1-24 inch shop light(one sunstick, one grow buld) for clones and 3 small mothers
1-Jiffy plugs tray w/humidity dome(holds 10 clones in rockwool cubes)
1-DWC to hold two small moms
1-hempy bucket style tray to hold another small mom
1-mom in soil
Mother box
1-large mother in 3 gallon bucket(soil)(she turns 3 in 2 more months)
2-27 watt CFLs(one warm, one cool)
Veg(?) box
1-150 watt equivalent CFL security light
4-Plants that are ready to be put out for a small outdoor grow(I know it is a little late in the year, but I couldn't find a good enough spot till just last week end)
Now for the good part, some Pics(pre cool tube in cab)

Bloom box(with cool tube(also I will get pic befor lights are one sometime)

Veg(?) box

And up this week, my very own #3(a really hashy tasting cross made from two really good bag seed plants, one forced to be herm via over ripening)

Hard to believe that little clone will look something like thins in 9 weeks

Nice setup man way to save space..

Been so busy with work that I haven't had a chance to get any pics yet, but I have the day off, so I will put some up later.

 

[green_thumb...]

fuckin sweet TF2. so what strains you running besides the bag seed cross?

 

[toastfighter2]

Right now I am just running a couple "bs" strains while I until I get this thing dialed in. I went from running half a basement full of Ohio Fog(a 16 week sat. that pretty much would remove your brain from your head and stomp on it) to just what I can fit in this cab. Since the Fog that I was running was a clone only(some guys back in the 80's were growing it out in a ware house, and the guy that I got my cut from smuggled out a cut of it, about a week before they got raided), and the guy I got it from had a aren't friend any longer, I simply back crossed it and made a ton of seeds. Once everything is back on track, I will either be popping those beans, or ordering some off of seedboutique(more likely the later). But as promised, I took some pics tonight while I was doing my res change.

Well, just as promised, I am keeping up with my weekly updates. Nothing much has changed, besides the first one pictured growing a whole two inches this week, and the addition of this weeks plant(sorry, only my #3 was showing decent roots when I went to put a new one in, so 2 #3's in a row)

Lookin good man, cant wait to see how they turn out, and so how do i get my hands on a couple beans of the stomp on your brain stuff?

 

[toastfighter2]

Well, I hate to say it, but when I moved last time, I split up all my beans over a couple trips(I didn't want to permanently lose them if pulled over) and I have yet to locate the tin that I put those ones in(I did just find a couple Orange Kush beans looking for them though). The search for them is on though, because I just found out that the containers for my recirculating dwc are getting put out this week at my roommates work(he works at a salad dressing factory). Normally they just ship stuff in barrels, but they are doing half gallons and gallons again for a local company, and any box of them that even touches the floor gets tossed out, which is great for me. This means that I need to get a mother going asap. After that, I will see just how many extra I have laying around

 

[green_thumb...]

damn that kinda blows, but i hope you do find em. Orange kush sounds tasty. well im planning on ditchin my current line up and startin fresh with good genes instead of the random stuff besides the blackberry kush, but im lookin for new good strains so if ya could and got some extras let me know and pm me or somethin

 

[toastfighter2]

Well, I have been driving myself nuts trying to think of where I put those beans all of last night, and most of this morning, digging though this box and that box. Well, about an hour ago, I said F*** this, they are just gone. So I sat down at my computer, rolled one, and sparked it up. No more than three hits into it, it hits me-I put them bastards in the sleeping bag that I use for camping. I ran to the basement, stuck my hand in there, and low and behold, another handful of beans(OFOG included)

The whole family together again

I have had a crazy week, so I am posting this up a little late. I started a #4 this week, but also had to pull one down a week early. It went mutant on me for some reason, and started blocking most of the light in my box. I think that mother(#3) will find its way outside very soon here because lately, all the clones that have come off of her have started growing out weird. But here are some pics for anyone that is still looking.
Nearly doubled in size this week(removed plant that was blocking light)
