The Next Round

[oldjarhead100]

After the dismal challenge I replaced my 1000hps with a 630 prizim cmh I installed an auto drain that works lol and I installed a new auto feeder , so I can fertigate 3 times a day . Yesterday I installed the scrog ,that was interesting the plants I started with were 3 to 4 feet tall to begin with so it took awhile to get them all though the net then to wrap but I completed it then I came upstairs and started to deseed the challenge grow will give totals when I'm done still have the dgth to do, anyways my nanday conure decided she liked pot seeds I made the mistake of giving her one so here she is trying to get more crazy birds

[normanthyra]

Ahahaha cool. How does this seed affect it? The main thing is not to call your friends, otherwise there will be trouble.

[oldjarhead100]

seeds lowers quality and quantity the buds stop growing an put all there energy into seed production

[ribbitt]

Looking good

[LurkingInTheGrass]

Nice
subbed, really interested in the light

What are you running for plants?

[oldjarhead100]

tutankhamon ,gorilla cookies and dark ghost train haze there is also a jack herer finishing up it was not an auto lol

[alltatup]

Cannabis seeds are a good source of nutrition and oils; I would think they'd be good for the bird. She knows what she likes, and she's helping Daddy!!!

[oldjarhead100]

thats exactly what I thought

[D.A.A.S.69]

oldjarhead100 I'm jealous of your new light brother.
How high have you got it above your plants ?
I think your gonna love your new light,especially on that light mover. Was that hard to do, or did it fit pretty easy.
Have a nice day bro, and y'all stay warm, way up there.

[oldjarhead100]

it was a breeze I did have to hang a led off of it to weight down one end so it would travel on light mover, Im not sure if my light meter works on cmh bulbs but I used it anyway and hung the light so all plants were getting between 60k and 85k lumins, Daas do you think one finishing bulb will do or should I get 2

[D.A.A.S.69]

GoodMorning oldjarhead100, I'm glad to here it was a breeze, I sure wish i had one of those Prisms,no kidn, but we still outlawin down this way, and I would hate to lose it, by accident like when the the water meter reader smelled something or the gas company meter reader, caught a whiff, or even JehovasWitnesses. They come by all the time ,not worried about the mailman,lol,
I was to told what ever my lux meter red,you doubled the number, like if it reads 40lux, it's really 80lux, but i dont know if thats true, but with my 315cmh, at 18inches when flowering, my lux meter would only read 40k lux, so it think it worked right with my light, cause when i move it to like 15inches ,it would read 65k lux, which is really 130k lux, and my plants leaves, didn't like it that close at all,
But Nebulas 315cmh, she told me at 18inches, her lux meter, would read what it should like 65k-75k lux,
It might have been the different kind of light, she had, idk.I like that 10k finishing lamp, alot, but some of the scientist will say it don't work, it sure makes fine looking buds ,I know that much.
I wish i could tell you if you need only one, or if you need two, but i dont know the answer to that, I would think 2 finishing lamps would do great, but them damn, lamps are as high as a cats back, imo.
GrowersChoice could tell you though, I'm sure they will tell you need 2 because, of sales, but they have always been honest with me, everytime I talked to them, so i trust them alot. They might tell you ,that you only need 1 finisher lamp.so again,idk.
But I'm sure your gonna do great ,with your new grow light though. Like always.
Have a great day, my brother.

[oldjarhead100]

Thanks brother . I did a quick math check and this was actually cheaper than my hps 240 for the fixture light and ballast then 2 3100 bulbs about 120 my hps reflector was 240 then the ballast was 200 and the bulb was around 100 at the store but it worked great just trying to save some money

[oldjarhead100]

Time for some new pictures as you can see they are doing great still trying to get the auto watering right but its improving I water 3 times a day but I think im going to up it to 4 ,at 3 I increased my time from 2 minute to three and I still have plenty of water left in res so go to 4 times a day ,like everything else its a process . When I set it up I used a 5 gallon bucket and it took 2 1/2 minutes to drain the bucket so that was my bases for the 2 minutes

[oldjarhead100]

the light has a 3 foot foot print in bloom my scrog is 3 feet wide

[oldjarhead100]

LurkingInTheGrass I had to look to see what you were talking about lol

[LurkingInTheGrass]

You weren't hanging candy canes? 😁

[oldjarhead100]

I think I'm going to have a big problem I took out the plants in the veg room ,you know the ones that have at least 6 more weeks before they can be flipped ,right now they are each 3 feet wide , I may have to run them all alone just to have enough room lol I was so aggressive tieing them down as far as I could I split 3 out of 4 thats why the red tape.

[D.A.A.S.69]

oldjarhead100 your gonna have some monsters, especially for inside, but I know you got it under control.
HappyGrowing

[oldjarhead100]

I have white puff balls showing on all the girls in bloom room .so its time to get in there and remove a bunch of fan leafs, will take pictures when able

[oldjarhead100]

I had to transplant the limin louie into gallon pots they were getting so leggy but I'm trying to influence them into more females than males using jorge Cervantes instructions the outside influences wont affect anything until the 3rd set of true leafs show. so I had to come up with something to keep up the humidity my solution a huge ass tote .when I put it on the humidity was 48 , I walked 10 feet to get my phone and came back it was 58 it got up to 85 percent I watered them with a lite dose of nutes tbls of grow 20 mls of voodoo juice and one tsp of N from raw . Hopefully this will give me more females than males I did this with a friend we started with 10 seeds each ,he did nothing but plant them he got 2 out of 10. I used this method and got 7 out of 10 females so it does work as long as I get one Im still set you see these were for the next grow but the plants I had to go with them are going to be way to big so Im going to run 3 cookies kush and 2 dgth 1 tut and 1 GC . so that means I still have lots of time to take clones if needed

[D.A.A.S.69]

oldjarhead100 sounds like that's just what I need ,are a couple of those Louie, seeds, without any training, how tall do they get when grown outdoors?
I got plenty of Oaxacan sativa seeds you might like, idk, though, some of these get way taller than 12feet outdoors.
Have a nice day OJH.

[oldjarhead100]

Daas I'm not sure how tall they get we try very hard to keep them under 5 feet so they are not so visible and you have some coming . What kind of packaging does the 420 seeds use if they can send seeds in the mail why cant we lol

[D.A.A.S.69]

oldjarhead100 Paul 420guy ,uses nice packages, for his seeds, but it's legal where you live, not down here.
I'm with you though, I surely wish we could send them in the mail, without having to worry,
And we might even make a trip up North this summer, when its warm, not certain yet, but we have been thinking about going on a little vacation, back up to Greenbay, Wis. ,and coming back down the Appalachian trail way, just to get away for awhile. I know its very pretty country up there.
HappyNewYear, to you and your family, ole buddy.

[oldjarhead100]

I got all the trimming done in the bloom room went to 4 feedings a day and increased time from 2 to 3 minutes for the pump to run , I will have to do all this again next grow I'm moving everything into 3 gallon pots

[alltatup]

You got some fat buds comin up there, OJH...

[D.A.A.S.69]

Looking great Ojh.

[oldjarhead100]

The Limpin Louies after 2 days in humidity dome, all have 3 sets of true leafs so about 1 more week with the dome I think I timed it perfectly

[D.A.A.S.69]

Morning Louie, your very welcome, ole buddy, the last year has been hell, for sure, we got it all figured out now, some of that stuff the Drs. give you is damn near pure poison, especially that Gout medicine, and that over the counter Prilosec, and Zantac, for Gerd, It aint meant to be used but 2-3weeks, after a year, that stuff will kill you.No kidn,
I never had Gerd to begin with, lol ,but my old quack Dr. had to run every rest possible, for over a year, to make that money, didn't he?
That's a horrible Dr.imo, and there's plenty of them out there, just like him, too.
A Cop, damn that would have given me a chill, too. Having a strain named after you, is very cool !! What's gonna be your next strain ? Any ideas ?
My Mailman is cool too.
HappyNewYear

[oldjarhead100]

for the Gout eat one teaspoon of celery seed or 2 or 3 stocks of celery a day will prevent the gout .
When I was in Hospital after my coma these random Doctors would come in check me out and Id never see them again after a couple of days I started to call them the $1000 dollar club ,one asked what I meant so I told him I said Ive never seen you before your just walking around checking out patients and billing them 1000 he got all pissed off and left .
The Limpin Louies were kinda a joke until I grew some and it made me limp haha, I'm not looking for a new strain but accidents do happen lol

[D.A.A.S.69]

oldjarhead100 when I quit taking the Gout medicine, Indomethacin,an Cycocimin, badly misspelled, lol, my thumb got completely well in 1week, seriously, It ain't even hurting no more, lol.
But we love celery down here, just ain't never seen any celery seeds before, but I'll keep an eye out for them, for sure, and thanks .
Some Drs. are a joke especially GI, Drs. All they ever do is prescribe Prilosec an Zantac, and tell you to come back, in 2months, but that's after, they done run every test possible, and make that money,
Taking those meds, long term will kill your ass, even those 2 Gout meds, mentioned above, ain't supposed to be taken long term, but the Drs, don't tell you that!!
I went in for a routine colonoscopy, cause I ain't never had one, never had Gerd to begin with,lol or Gout, after a year of taking that poison, is what got me sick, but I learned my lesson.
Keep experimenting, and come up with another great strain,
Good Luck with the LLs, I can't wait to see them progress, in your journal
HappyNewYear

[oldjarhead100]

[oldjarhead100]

[starramus]

Damn OJH, All that weed, and you are smoking a 6 month old roach? Are you saving up to be a dispensary?

[oldjarhead100]

haha no dispensary ,if I can smoke a 6 month old roach then why would I mind a little hair lol but really I dont smoke them at all I remove paper then make oil from them put the oil in caps so you can't taste the ashtray ,im trying to find a mix that works on pain during the day and one for at night so I can cut way back on smoking
