New Grow room

[oldjarhead100]

I tucked, twisted and wrapped everything I could do yesterday. thats it, they up from here , This certainly been an eye opener to scroging I think this is the way to go from here on out . I just have to remember to start them in the scrog earlier lol

as you can see in the 3rd and 4th picture what a tangled mess it is in there , I try and wrap one stem around the net and I unwrap 2 lol

This is going to be the end of my grow room until Aug when we start the Challenge I need to revamp a few things like redo drain system move light mover over a foot if I can cut the scrog down to 3 feet wide getting in there to water or trim is really a PITA right now so an extra foot would be great, even though I'm going to try and set up an automatic watering system

[oldjarhead100]

this the next day after tieing them all down , I hoping they dont go above 14 inches thats about the max height of my light

[BillBates]

....he's Batman!

[Campesino]

I'm Always Impressed

[oldjarhead100]

I only have issues when I get stuck between the wall and the scrog frame lol , Compared to getting everything ready for the woods this is easy lol

[Californiakid]

When I grow up, I want to grow like oldjarhead100 !

[BillBates]

Absolutely fuckin'-A right!

[Jr83]

I agree with California kid i wanna grow like the old jar head .great set up beautifully done

[oldjarhead100]

Thanks all, its worth every minute of work , my niece stopped by from Boston she wanted to get resupplied so I gave her some kush bomb, afgan kush ryder, some Alien and some dream machine , thats one happy girl lol I love being able to help others who can't grow , a little expensive but you cant take it with you

so I am just getting ready to plant my veggie Garden I had one small section where I dumped runoff water during the winter well their were some amazing number of weeds there so I had to get rid of them I used that black landscape fabric last year and the weeds grew right on top of it so I just rolled it up and put it in a contractor bag untill weeds die then it will all go in compost ,well One weed was all y itself and look at what its growing in lol

[BillBates]

Ha! Brickweed!

[oldjarhead100]

didn't think of that lol

[oldjarhead100]

SOB just found a little tick embedded in my belly little fucker would not let go ended up with its head still in slapped some triple anti bio and well see I may have to go see my Doc

[BillBates]

All fookin' ticks must fookin' die!

[Californiakid]

Ever put the ointment on the tick while its attached?
Ticks breathe through their body, so the ointment cuts off the air so they backout. I used that method and alcohol on a cotton swab. The alcohol has a similar affect.

[oldjarhead100]

some shots of the scrog the first two are the same I just liked the way the led light fades as the hps moves along in the second picture there is a leaf on the right side that is casting a purple shadow on the wall , as you can see they are stretching

[Tika]

Talk about a full house!!!! And yes...fun variations in the light. How many are in there?

[stoneotter]

Looking good Oldjar!

[oldjarhead100]

was 12 but one in the corner was really short so I cut it back to 3 main lines and it didn't like that much ,next grow 8 max ,this was an exception I had 6 that were attacked by a chipmunk I thought they would all die but it just manifolded them ,when I thought they would die I dropped 6 more seeds and low and behold all twelve lived

[oldjarhead100]

If you look closely at this picture you can see a dark shape between the fan on the left and the air ducting on the right that is the pineapple chunk plant my buddy gave me I have 1 300w led but I think I will have to hand a couple more on the sides in a couple of weeks after she gets pistils again

[oldjarhead100]

that pipe going across the room is 6 feet tall and shes over that when I cloned her I cut 2 feet off the top yikes

[oldjarhead100]

oh god I opened the room to see ten inch tall kola sites part of me wants to tie them down and the part is worried that if I do tie them down then they wont stretch after . Tomorrow is the start of week three so I should start seeing white hairs in big balls

[stoneotter]

Say, have you ever tried spraying the veg tent's zippers with silicone spray? They about zip themselves after!

[stoneotter]

YOU BEEN RETIRED THAT LONG? Man time flies

[BillBates]

With all due respect, I wouldn't use vegetable oil even to lube up my right hand. It gets gummy after a little while.

[oldjarhead100]

ya Bill I agree it gets yuky , Stone Otter and I worked together for alot of years and I think he was referring to cans of silicon spray that we had from work, stoneotter its been ten years first of last april and it does fly when your having fun lol

[oldjarhead100]

HERE I AM WITH BUDS TO THE LEFT OF ME AND DUFF TO THE RIGHT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH SEEDS .

I finally had a chance to clean some critical That a friend traded with me ,I thought they were autos when they were all done it was like 9 months and they hermied ,I decided to use it all for either wax or oil ,I was very surpised to get just over 8 zs from two plants that grew seeds , I think right now I'm going to wait and see if the tuts have any light fluffy buds to donate I would like to use a pound for wax that would keep me supplied for a year or so

[oldjarhead100]

the girls as of yesterday the day before I gave them some folier essence ,Question for some reason I have never had a big bloom stretch ,so I new to it when does it usually stop ,i'm 2 days into week 3 so I don't know if I should tie the girls down again, from where the light is I can raise it about 10 inches so i'm getting a little concerned

[Campesino]

On my last grow, all the girls stopped stretching on Day 25 of 12/12.
On my current grow, some of the girls kept stretching until Day 38 and continued growing vertically until Day 50!

I can't imagine any of that information will help you decide what to do! It certainly seems to vary based on strain!

[oldjarhead100]

It gives an idea lol

[oldjarhead100]

well I managed to fix the dehumidifier so the hose works this is going to be the terminal point for the drain system when I get it installed .

So while watering I noticed this. Midway though the row I asked my wife if she wanted to smoke she did ,maybe a little to much lol

[Californiakid]

Hahahaha thats funny. Took me a minute to figure out what I was looking at. Then it hit me lol.

[oldjarhead100]

it was a WTF moment for me then laughed like hell ,I haven't pointed it out to her yet

[oldjarhead100]

well I f d up I was putting soaker hose out started at 1pm then when I was almost done I remembered I still had to water ,opps it was 435 lights out is 4 pm so I didn't get to water I dont think it will affect then much.

I wish I could have to lights on over night but I'm a morning guy and my pain level is to high to do anything at night

[oldjarhead100]

Had to raise my light yesterday their growing like gang busters ,also swapped out the timer that the 300w led was on it kept switching from timer to on , so maybe I can maintain darkness for 12 hours ,every day O go down and still no flowers forming ,they were on week three when I realized that the 300 w led was on 24/7 ,so I regrouped fixed the problem rest the clock and here we are most of the way though week 3 again .
The only good thing to come out of that is the pine apple chunk that the led was over has tons of trics on fan leafs

[Californiakid]

The one in the front center, looks upset.(pic2)
The first pic all hands are up, happy girls!

[Campesino]

"Growing like gang busters"! Gotta Love it

Yeah Californiakid , one of the girls in that second pick does not look as happy as the rest! Any ideas why she is so grumpy oldjarhead100 ?

[oldjarhead100]

I see what you mean but she looks good in person Ill take a closer look thanks
