SOIL Summer/Fall 20201 Grow - Cleaned up and ready

[billyboy]

Cleaned everything with bleach and got the room moved and reconfigured. Ready to go!

[PLreef]

Nice set up. You gonna put anything in there? Onions maybe some leeks?

[Gingerbeard]

Dudeguyfellaman. I was trying to be P.C. and figure out what that person's code words for weed were. Buddy and I called it 'Bob' when we were young'uns. Onion might mean sativa? Shallot might be Indica? DEA doesn't look for words like onion or shallot.
I was also looking to up my manhood with the Viking talk.

[TOKABIGONE]

I'm still not sure which came first the onion or the leek or the shallot?

[Gingerbeard]

The duck came first.

[billyboy]

20% onion 80% leek

LOL well done billyboy bet your getting restless to begin? We are still hotter than heck here, looking at the " ring of fires" around our state. Heat wave again this week in the 100s f gonna have to rethink fall tent beginning here. It's so awful hot and dry.

[billyboy]

@SoOrbudgal - Exactly right. I think we hit pretty much summer peak this week. So I am hoping that I can manage through early veg and by the time I am building the manifolds the temps will be more reasonable. It got hot today, I have been running it empty and experimenting with the exhaust outside an the intakes to make sure I can shed enough heat running at 1K watts with the MH. Still got too hot today. Going to drop the beans in the shot glass on Saturday I think.

[SoOrbudgal]

Yes i did a similar thing testing the heat with my older LEDs even if i had a fan on them still to dry and warm so like you with my clones i'm waiting another 10days before i put them in there. They are not growing rapidly now anyway because i've just got them sitting outdoors on patio. Nothing but ambiant light. I reckon they'll explode or not once transplanted into final pot. Man overnight lows are in the 60s. here. I'm putting mine into just 3gal fabric cause they will stay in a 3x3 for as long as it takes till i like there size and training then move them inside larger house tent. That's 12/12 at least it's my plan we'll see.

Hope you get great germination billyboy looks like i may have to place pots of water an hang wet towels LOL

Three Lemon OG Kush feminized (https://www.seedsman.com/en/lemon-og-feminised-seeds-8) and seven Skunk #1 regular seeds (https://www.seedsman.com/en/original...eebie-worth-16) are out of the shot glasses and into the paper towels. Hope to be getting them in the dirt tomorrow. MIght need some of the rooter plugs - we'll see.

Happy to have a grow starting! Looking forward to that Skunk - the wife is looking forward to the Lemon Kush so everyone will be pleased :-)

[SoOrbudgal]

OMG dang skunk well lets hope that lemon covers it up a tad ! I do like the crosses made with skunk

[billyboy]

Off to a good start. All ten beans that went into the shot glasses sprouted. 3 fem and 7 regular so with any luck I'll have 6 female plants for this grow.

The homemade terrarium was fun to make - but we'll see how it does

[SoOrbudgal]

This is going to be awsome to watch old school good luck with the ratio of fems.

[billyboy]

30 hours later - 10 beans / 10 sprouts

I lowered the lights because they looked a little stretchy. Now the temps are up. Is there an upper limit for the seedlings for temps I want to avoid? They seem to love the hot and moist air to a degree.





Here is the sensor data from inside the terrarium. Running at 94 degrees now with the humidity around 75%

[billyboy]

Time to start prepping the pots - two runts to think about

[billyboy]

The runts had some decent roots so rather than destroy them we'll see how they do. Managed to get al 10 transplanted into 3 gal pts for the rest of the grow. We'll see how many females I get out of the regular Skunk seeds

Good roots here


Even the runty one had some roots




They took a big drink and i do not see any signs of transplant shock. I think they grew a bit overnight (MH 1000w light helps I believe)



Bonus pics of my furry helpers

[Canuck147]

Great start - hope your plants are all wearing skirts.

[SoOrbudgal]

Beautiful photos of you and your pups good luck with getting girls !

[billyboy]

Got a good little crop going so far. I am starting to think I may have a bunch of girls on my hands. Going to try and see if they are old enough to sex looking at the pre-flowers near the growth tips: https://www.growweedeasy.com/preflowers

We'll see how it goes. I need to get the manifolds started soon!

In that last pic - it is the runty little one that I was going to give up on, but saw it had some roots and maybe had a chance. The plant topped itself and all of a sudden is going strong with two main stems. Going to just leave it alone and see what happens. Maybe I'll top it again if it turns out to be female.

[billyboy]

Before:


After: (no manifold for the under-developed runty ones)


Can you tell the girls from these pics of the Pre-flowers:

[SoOrbudgal]

I'm dizzy looking LOL

[billyboy]

One good feeding and they are growing fast again. Got one showing brown spots. Unfortunately a Lemon OG which was a feminized seed and so should be a girl. Same food, soil, light, ph'd water, Rh etc. Not sure why just the one is in some distress.

[billyboy]

Getting some concerning yellowing on the older growth. I have seen the fan leaves die early before when building the base of the manifold but this is different I think. All of them are reacting on the same exact way. I have been eyeballing the pH down so maybe I am off. Will test tomorrow and see. The rest of the growth looks great.
