Urban Legend 'Mazarilla' Grow in Bio-Bucket

I am 3/4 thru this grow .. and I want to rebuild my tent and do it again
with the same beans .. but oh well , I will have to go with something else.


These guys are drinking 3 to 4 gal of h2o now .. and for 4 plants it's a bit much at this stage.


But enjoying as we go.

I woke early today .. had a bad feeling .. and it turns out the roots got into the drain and overfilled bucket .
lost 3 gal. from rez and exposed the pump filter. I caught it early enough not to have to replace the pump.

Only one photo for today.

I got 3 shots today , it's getting tight in there now.
They are starting to pack on .. on the main colas but are way too close
to the lights.

I wish I knew a way to get the blurple out of the picture to give real good photos.

Also it looked like the flash did not go off on this first one.

You can see in the background the larger cola packing up tight now.

We are in week 9 already .. so not it's not going to be much longer.
Maybe 2 weeks more ?
I have not gotten in there with the microscope yet.
But from just rubbing up against them in the tent I know they are sticky as hell.

I want to start closer macros to get a few frost shots.

The next grow will be under Mars FC 6500 , They will ship as soon as they got
me a 120VAC cable .. seems they have plenty of 220v cables and few
to no 120v cables .. But my rep Sean said he would hook me up.

Mars is going the distance .. you can not ask for more then that.
I am happy with the service so far.

More later

Today I had to make a hard call.
Before this cola gets too much damage
I am forced to take it down.

The problem with this grow is :
I fine tuned my Bio Buckets to have a 12 inch drop for water aeration and purification.
The Mazarilla needs the height.
Even when I have things tide down this cola just got to tall.

As promised I have some close-ups

I do not like taking it so young , but 40% of what I see is milky , so I think about another week or so to finish.

Sad to loose this cola but I do not want to burn on my lights.
I think most is safe for the rest of this trip.

Will get back to you on smoke check once dried.

Looking so fine!

Looking so fine!

yea 30 days to fill out fully is a minimum of more time

Thank you all for your info on this strain.

I am glad to have the helping eyes.
I am seeing some faster growth on this one because
I took the top off , I hope it is the only one needing that.
They grew so fast and tall right into my lights.

One think I would stress to anyone growing these .. get your pots on the ground in your tent before attempting these girls.

Here is where I made the cut and you can see she is packing now.

picture.php


and the frosty picture .. not as frosty as I like , but for first run of this bean .. not to bad :)

picture.php


That's all for now .. now to see how she stacks in next couple of weeks .. and in a few days .. a smoke check on the top I had to chop.

puff time , trying the sample cut a few days ago .. a bit moist but should be good to go.

2 mins after puff
be it small and only half smoked ..
I could not figure out taste but it is smooth ..
I am starting to feel it.

all good signs

Now after second bowl
I feel this would make a knock-out keeper even now.
So I know this will be better mature.
I think I see why GG has always been a fav for so many people.

Earlier today I decided to go into my tent and check if I still have my macro skill set.

These are best of 6 , one is a duplicate but you can see depth of field between them.

Here goes ...

I have not been commenting on how much water I replace.
Seems now they (4) are drinking/perspire about 4 gals a day and will pick-up
in next spurt (If I understand autos) & looking forward to turnout.

Just a bit of an up date.
1) don't smoke then put on the LED glasses to scope the flower out under blurple lites
they glowed florescent green I swear ;)
Tried it 2 different times.

ok here Is why me be sad ;(

Mars New 8 bar flex frame FC 6500

Shipping got lost & is/was late.
I will still be happy if they arrive working.
I may not get to use them till next grow.

Next Build :

I had an idea to keep the features of the waterfall effect.
This will require a tear down & rebuild of tent.

I hate doing this because I will miss a grow cycle.

The idea is to lift the tent by building a platform
to support the tent and its contents using 6X2 box 5'2" square and supports.

Then cover it with that kool black wood I have sheets of.

Next to reassemble top of the tent with any ducting or mods.

Once that is done (I made it sound easy)
I get to restock the tent and with equipment and do the plumbing again to a new rez.
I hope to use flex hose for more freedom in placing buckets of up to 6 as of my original design.
I won't be greedy I just want to see how to place them in all configurations so I can add or remove without problems.

flex hose : any ideas?
It has to be 1" ID to mate everywhere in my plans.
When done
crank it up
for another run.

I had to handle some colas and unwire a few to let air flow better in there and when I came out I had a smell like lemon pledge.
Sticky and smelly .. the best combo for flower and all the frost too ;)

After a visit into the tent this last time, well you will have no problem convincing me of that now. I am a total believer and the photos don't lie.

Thanks again for hanging.

Update :

Got he lights in and up in the tent yesterday.

After testing the lights and a quick few photos
My mate & I installed them in the tent.

It was not to hard to get them in and up, we used 4 ratchet hangers (Mars supplied 2).
A few days before Mars sent me a 120v cord.
The light came with a 220v cable as stock & a huge sticker.
My mate said Mars likes to ship stickers as extras.

picture.php


Here are the light pictures before hanging.

picture.php


and on at 10%

picture.php


After hanging and light deprivation for almost an hour
I got them in and turned back on at about 75%

Heed the warning .. wear eye protection, these are very bright in any setting.

IF you have a 5x5 tent, you will not believe what I have seen.
The penetration is like .. well it was made for this tent.
Light everywhere even reflecting off the flor thru all my jungle.

After I got settled and about an hour running, temp check ..
54 RH & 76F , seemed no heat inside , I mounted the controller out side
of the tent, I have to say it does get hot.
But not surprised because 650 watts should be hot.
I am glad the controller was not mounted and could be hung
in the back outside the tent in the lung room.

Just because I was feeling good, why shouldn't the girls.
So they got an extra shot of Cal Mag plus for a treat.

I changed out my timer for the timer that was on the blurple lights before
so I could adjust it to about 13/11 till end and gradually increase dimmer to 100% over next five or six days.

I will have photos in about 2 days
Hoping to see some real bulking going on and get inside with microscope
to check real close for maturity to give me a better idea how much longer.

I am so happy at this stage :dance013: :dance013:
