MommaBears Grow Adventure #1

[oldjarhead100]

looking good there Mommabear. I had two thoughts while reading first I use fishing weights to hang on my branches to get them to bend down slowly. and dam I can't remember the second lol oh oh I got it now when your running your exhaust vent try to keep the ducting as straight as possible( I forget the rule but for every 90% turn it adds like 90 feet to your run) so it reduces your cfms by a tonif your doing a reorg of your room now is the time good luck

[MommaBear]

Love the fish weights idea!! I've got a ton of weights as my parents used to own a tackle and hunting store. And thanks for the tip about the ducting, good to know!!!! I'm hoping With our plan for today we'll have a straight line out but that's assuming it all works out like I have it in my head 😉. Off to do cleaning and then the big reorg. Gonna be a good day!!! Ps I totally thought u were selling honey too hahaha

[oldjarhead100]

I would of to if I didnt know lol

[MommaBear]

Finished the room reorg and finally got the fan and filter off the floor. Ducting is a straight line out to window 😁 Girls are still doing good and my lil runt is frosted to all hell.... woo hop, she amazes me lil fighter hahaha. Temps are now between 22-24C and RH is 51-55. Little more manageable and easy to adjust now. The late bloomers are definitely flowering now so that's good. Thankfully I didn't panic and asked you guys 😉
Tomorrow night is feed night so will get to try out my new snippers and take some pics. I really must get a good camera and a loup.... and mason jars and a hygrometer or two .... off to make a list and hunt the net for the elusive hygrometers.

[alltatup]

U go, girl!!!!!

[MommaBear]

Thanks guys, super stoked to be this far along. Was thinking this morning seems like just yesterday they were seedlings in rooters!!

[alltatup]

I know, sigh; they grow up so fast...

[oldjarhead100]

hey Momma bear good morning I bought my hydro meters at www.cigarsinternational.com they were under 20 bucks they are about the size of a silver dollar and maybe a half inch thick they come with a magnetic strip to attach where you want

[MommaBear]

Good Morning OJH!! Thanks I will certainly check those out 😁

[CCisme]

Everything is looking super!

[MommaBear]

Thank ya Darlin'!!!! Hope all is well with you!!! 😁

[CCisme]

Doing ok, everyone is healthy 4 are in flower so fingers crossed Id hate to mess up now, been a rough couple weeks. End of June ❤️

[Nsky]

Loving watching! I can feel your anticipation, so happy for you...keep chugging along girl! Plants and setup rawksss. You're on your way! Wooo! Lolol

[MommaBear]

Thanks Nsky, much appreciated!!! 😁 Fed the girls last night and did some major defol on most of them. Had to do some creative LST on the late bloomers as they were tall and bushy.
Took a ton of pics but too lazy to resize last night and imgur scares me as I haven't quite figured it out.... hoping there's some anonymity or privacy with the pics I upload to imgur... must play with it soon.
Weather is finally warming up so debating the outdoor garden.... needs work, might just stick to the easy stuff this year. Loving my indoor garden too much.
still no news from seedsman. Ordered may 23rd and they haven't even sent them out yet. Sure hope they get here by harvest time!!!
Have a great day y'all, maybe do pics later if I get bored at work. 😉

[OzBud]

might still be waiting for the funds to clear. mine took 8 days from time of order until I got an email saying they were on the way.

[MommaBear]

Fingers crossed! Thanks Oz 🙂

[CCisme]

Mine did the same ordered on 4/20 didnt get sent til the 27th, I figured they were just behind due to sales. Theyve become my favorite people lolol

I've been stripping the exif metadata (my location, etc) from my photos, cropping/zooming as needed and tossing them up on imgur as throwaways. I'm not creating art with these pics, I just want people to be able to see how my grow is coming along.

If I was really paranoid (which I might be if growing wasn't legal in my state), I would post the pics (and on here for that matter) using a VPN so They couldn't trace me by my IP address.

[MommaBear]

Thanks guys! It seems the older I get the further out of the loop I become with anything tech related. I'm not too concerned about the authorities, more concerned that it would get out and be tied to me somehow, and then kids or coworkers see. I have a professional job somewhat in the public eye, I'm open about my thoughts on MJ but as we are not yet legal (Canada) I still want to be relatively cautious.
I did see something about uploading them without the exif metadata- figured that meant location etc which is good because my effin iPhone turns on the live feature every time I open cam, even tho I believe I have it set to off.
Oh the struggles 😉

[Capncanna]

Yep I use a tor browser it's free and no one can see my ip. It also erases all history when it's closed. 😉

[MommaBear]

Just some random pics from last nights feed. I've tried a gazillion ways to use Imgur but when it does post it wants to add five photos even tho I only have one.... so back to picresize for now.
Girls are doing good, getting a tad stinkier and super sticky. Basement window being open has helped temps and RH, but we're warming up finally in northern Canada so hopefully I can maintain some decent numbers.
Ordered hygrometers, boveda packs - on their way.
Ordered new seeds from seedsman which are finally on the way so hopefully they'll be here by harvest time- I'm guessing we still have five or more weeks. Curious to see how they change now ie. fattening up etc
super excited to try topping on next grow. With the teachers around here and stellar vids coming out I shouldn't mess it up

happy Friday!!!! 🎶

[MommaBear]

Thanks guys!!
Oz, it's always been in the basement bedroom but it and a cabinet were blocking the window so we rearranged the whole room so we could get at window and vent air in and out. Room was getting way tooooo stuffy.

[OzBud]

ah basement bedroom, must have missed that bit or I was wasted when I read it. I apologize.

If it starts getting too hot outside you may be able to just vent hot air outside and bring in cooler air from the basement compared to the warmer air from outside.

[MommaBear]

Haha no worries ... that's the reason for most of my babbling. It's all good!!! Smoke on mate!
My thoughts exactly! I was actually swinging the bedroom door open and closed to cool it down prior to getting at window. Could only do it when kids weren't around tho. But with rearrangement I can cut hole in wall and access laundry room to pull in cool air 😁

[OzBud]

Just wondering Mommabear, did you ever find the culprit?

[MommaBear]

Bwahahahahaha LOVE it!!!!!

[Canuck147]

Looks real nice. Bet the terpenes are working good.

[Marley]

Looking great! Nice pics.

[RubySlippers]

It's amazing to see how much your white widow differs from mine in appearance, though I'm still in veg. Any tips on defoliating? I've plucked quite a fan few leaves since I took this picture, but it's till bushy as hell! Good job!

[MommaBear]

Hahaha mine were bushy too. I didn't take a whole lot at the start, was kind of finding my way with defol, when leaves were touching too much I'd take them, trying to only take one of the set if I could. Later on once I had done some more LST and bud sites were apparent I've been taking leaves daily and what I consider heavy defol on feeding nights. Basically any fans blocking bud sites I took.
Killed me at first tho, they're so lush and green and beautiful it's almost a sin to cut anything..... I think it's one of those things u learn as u go.

Good luck, your girl looks heathy and gorgeous, she must love what your doing!! 😁

[CCisme]

Looking lovely! Its so cool watching the buds fatten up. Glad to see eveng going so well.

[CCisme]

Theyre doing good, 2 dark angel girls are at 5 of 8 weeks in flower, 2 widows are 3 of 8 weeks, with an auto big angel that should finish right between the two sets of photos! (She's my deck baby, enjoys tanning and at 26 days started flashing pistols) Ive been so excited watching, even the days I cant do much I do check frost levels lolol! Ill get some pictures on the next watering, my next set of photos are vegging out waiting for thier turn in flower (strawberry cake, green doctor) and a new auto popping in her rapid rooter. Afghan kush Ryder. Ive loved adding the autos in, they are fun.

[MommaBear]

Wow girl you're rocking it big time!!! That's awesome!! I hear ya, sometimes I sit and stare at them just amazed at how much they change. I never thought I'd say I love frost hahaha but this is a better frost than the winter frost I'm used to 😂

[CCisme]

Lmao I just said that to hubby, 'Wonders never cease Im dreaming of more frost!'

[oldjarhead100]

they are looking great mommabear ,still have a week left for my gorilla glue but the leafs are turning white from all the frost yum yum
