Welcome To Globex Corpration.

Hello ICmag


It is finally time for me to show off what you as a group have shown me. Also so that you can point out the things that I am still doing wrong.

Here is the Work/Veg room. Here is where all the dirty work and mothering happens.
(pictures soon to come)

I run a single 400wHPS w/MH conversion bulb in here. Along with the 36gal rubbermaid setup. GH dual diaphragm air pump. 180L/Hr water pump to stir.

It is expandable to 12 sites. I will be moving to hydro mothers. That way I can flower them out as well if needed.

Here is the flowering room. Hanging over the 4x4 tray is a 400w and 600w HPS. The reservoir is another 36/gal tote. They were cheap after the solstice.

The spot of light that you see in the background is a little clone and seed Cab. Before I had the third ballast it was the vegcab. It is just using curly CFL's right now. 26w*8.

Current nutes:
Pure Blend Pro-Grow
Liquid Karma
Hyrgozome
Right now I am flooding three times @ 30min,and two times @ 15min during the day cycle and 15min once at night. Seems like it might be a little much. But at my 80-85F temps. Things can dry out in a hurry.

This will be the first time using the trellis. I used to LST. The tying down was great. I could position the branches just the way I wanted them. Problem is that about week 6 you would have to then stake everything up. Figured I would give the trellis a try. Still looking at this point for the correct height to place the trellis. I am thinking around 8"-12" inches.

So I hope you enjoy following along. And please question and comment.


Have a Smokey Day

I like your set up! Im pulling up a chair for this one. I have grown scrog for the last few years. Works great, I think it would be cool to grow a sative dom in this thype of grow. You have a nice big area for five girls. I would veg them in there for atleastfour to five weeks. It looks soo sweet with the screen nice and full. Looks sweet keep them pics coming!
Peace

So this time around I am going to be running

Female Seeds: Skunk Special x 2
Bog: Sour Bubble
Trainwreck

Also today I had 6 babies pop.

Serious Seeds: Bubblegum
Mandala Seeds: Sadhu

On the Veggie side it was mustard and basil that were popping up today

SkunkyDemon: About how full do you let your screen get?

 

[JamieShoes]

man that screen is CLEAN... excellent work, Russ. look forward to watching this one grow :smile:

 

[RussCargill]

Thanks Jamie. I got the design from a recent HT. Then changed it to make it work right.

 

[RussCargill]

Well here is some of my older work.


This Baby was the skunk dawg. Big stretchy bitch. Smoke was good not great. It wasnt worth the headache of her 3x stretch.


I dont remeber what this strain was. but those were some big fcuking colas.



Here is a little White Shark that I grew. Wish the clones would have stayed alive. Oh well. I got it from family so its all good.


This here is one of my many pieces of glass. This one was custom blown from my design. This piece is currently unfinished. It was going to have scales sandblasted into it making it look like an alien dragon. The Glassblower quoted me a price and then the price kept going up. Not my fault he didnt know what it would cost him. Oh well. Anyone know a good Sandblaster?

 

[greenpenguin]

Russ, really nice looking flower area. I Love the screen. I have a much smaller scale scrog. I let my screen get about 70% full before flipping and it really filled out. Hope you don't mind if I pull up a seat here!

 

[MeltingPOT]

Real nice start to this diary bro...That setup is A+.

That bubbler 2nd as a martini glass?

 

[RussCargill]

GreenPenguin- Thanks for stopping in. 70%-80% that seems to be a good range.

MeltingPot- Thank you. Still not done with the tinkering around in here. But then again are we ever. Martini glass. Damn I never thought of it. Glad the blower didnt think of that. He would have doubled the price

 

[RussCargill]

Pinched back the tops today.

I have found a great thing about having a grow log up. Its a great motivator to clean and fine tune the room. You know things like hanging and shorten the extension cords. Hanging strings from the light for height. Just little shit that get tossed aside when things are busy. Oh yeah being unemployed with nothing to do helps a lot as well.

 

[RussCargill]

Here is the lastest Harvest all processed. Going to call this a good soild 9 oz harvest. Not the greatest yield. This is only my second grow in the flood tray. I learned my lesson. You have to fill the entire tray no matter how many pots you have in. Or how often you flood. Oh well.

Here is my crazy cat. Mr. Kitty is his name. He really enjoys playing with my GF's hair ties. The funniest is when you can catch him drowning the hair ties in the water bowl. He just plops them in the water and then watches them float to the bottom.

Here is the cloning and seedling cab. Right now we have:
Clones:
Skunk Special
Sour Bubble

Seedlings:
Bubblegum x 3
Sadhu x 3
One of the bubblegum's really grew some legs and stretched out. Otherwise they are all doing quite well.



Here is a quick shot of my light setup in the seedling cab. They are wired separately. That way if growth hits the lights I can shut one set down if I want. You could easily wire these all to one plug in.

 

[RussCargill]

Well veg updates arent as fun as flowering updates. But they must be done.

Here is the Veg cab. Not a lot has changed in here. At least not on the Cannabis side. On the Veggie side we are cooking right along. I love this time of year. You get to plant so many wonderful things.

Ahh the babies. They are growing so fast now. They will be moving to there new homes very soon. Gonna have to find a suitable home for my clones as well. I surely dont need them. yet I have a problem trimming a mother plant without cloning.

And the tray. The girls have really started to put down some roots. Cause in the past week they are finally starting to move up. Also I was able to start shaping the plants today. I know that LST is a nice tech name for it. But I have to admit. I call it plant bondage. Nothing low stress about it. It is somewhat hard to tell in the tray. But the two plants in the middle are actually laying on their side. The plant in the far right corner has already had this treatment. There is at least 3 more "tops" coming on it now beside the apical meristem. The next nute change out may come a little sooner than expected. It seems these ladies are ready for the full dose of PBP.

I feel a little like Tardy the turtle about my fan controller. Just by moving its position in the room I was able to drop the room temps by another 5F degrees. so now I am 77-81 range. Well off to the look for work. This shit sucks. Thank gawd I have my grow-op to keep my sane.

 

[JamieShoes]

nice JD collection you got there farmboy :wink:


Good luck with the work thing, I know how that feels too...


plants looking good mate... so is that last harvest... bet it stinks when you crack open the big jar :smile:

 

[greenpenguin]

Russ, any updates?

 

[Dödsknark]

Really nice thread. I'm looking forward to watching this.

Peace

 

[RussCargill]

Ugh my computer went tits up. And I cant find a disc I need to get it up and going again. Hopefully will be able to update in a couple of days.

 

[JamieShoes]

gutted mate - hope the grow continues to continue nicely :smile:

 

[MeltingPOT]

Same here. Real promising table you got there bro...

 

[RussCargill]

Well the Grow is about 5 grams from gone. Figured there was no reason to finish it up now. So now with new guts in the computer. All money goes to the Ladies first we know. I am back up and running. Well in the computer I am. I am getting ready to build a 4 bucket RDWC. So will might as well get the Backroom going again with a build up. Now for the building to start. Will be updating shortly.
