A new grow, GG#4/WW/BW

How long does he dry (the fish) before smoking?


Dreadfully sorry, I really tried to resist 😁

nice ,great idea for a small space

 

[GreenState]

Lol...2 extra bedrooms and a loft, and I chose the tiny closet

LurkingInTheGrass ............there's one in every crowd! (g)

End of week 4 for since sprouting, probably will be flipping to 12/12 in another week. BW back left, Durban back right and the HBD front (appears to be a 9 point leafer and is showing the most sativa signs,imo). Decided not to top the blue widow.

Looking good GreenState i'm watching that HBD I have some in auto fem. hopefully will run those next after this grow.

 

[GreenState]

SoOrbudgal will keep you posted on the HBD. Funny, looking around it seems as though most seeds offered are autos. I got these photos from new 420 guy, so we'll see. I think it's going to be a stretchy one and plan on putting a cage around her today for future branch support. The BW needs no support, but don't know about the durban (have to play it by ear)
All right, woodstove is loaded back up and I'm going back to bed!

Well, decided to flip to 12/12 and switch to HPS this morning. 1 or 2 days shy of 5 weeks.Changed nuets and defoliated.(tough day for the plants(g))) I think the HBD is going to be a stretchy girl. Blue widow is still the shortest by 2" without topping. Actually smoking a little bw this morning, 1 full jar left. I can tell the days are getting longer now, I like it.

 

[Mr.furley]

I am loving the longer days.

 

[GreenState]

Not a very good photo. Got an inch of stretch overnight! Durban front, BW back left and HBD back right. Don't think the HBD is going to amount to much, but we'll see.

My hps re-purposed 400 w parking lot flood light. Runs so much cooler than the 400w mh fixture. Any electricians out there? I have 3 or 4 of these fan units, squirrel cage fans.
I picked then up from a condo building changing out their individual forced air furnaces for a central boiler, so these came out of those furnaces systems. They can be thermostatically controlled, and I rewired one bypassing the switch. My question is, could I use a dimmer switch to control (lower the speed-these things blow some air) without damaging the fan motor? Here's a .pdf file for the box fan TIA.. http://tjernlund.com/Tjernlund_8504038.pdf

I think the motors are not designed to run at different speeds by lowering the electric ,I think if you put it on a switch that turns it off and on it will work and you can also put it on a thermostat controlled plug . I regulate my temp and humidity by turning the fan off and on its off for 1.5 hours then on for 15 minutes then off for 1,5 I do this all day and it keeps the room between 70 and 80 % rh and the same with the heat ,

I think the thermostat control plug would be better for what you want to do

 

[GreenState]

Thanks OJH, you're probably right.. Is this the beginning of male bits in next photo?

 

[GreenState]

1 day into flip. balls? male?

 

[oldjarhead100]

thats what I would call them you could separate it until your sure (If you dare LOL)

 

[GreenState]

I suspect you're right OJH. I'll give her a week and see.

Decision made, moved the HBD into the woodstove So down to 2, blue widow and durban poison. Unfortunately I may not end up with the yield I need, but we'll see.
Hopefully the other 2 are female...they were all feminized seeds, so I am bummed.
This is the pic that sealed my decision, for right or wrong

 

[GreenState]

Having trouble keeping myself away from the scissors (g) Trying to get some light into the bowels of the plants.. (BW front;Durban back)

Last winters blue widow, not a huge yielder at around 2 oz.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Your fem HBD were male? I got the auto version HBD fems so the pkg says. Getting a few males from fems these days?

 

[GreenState]

SoOrbudgal Had 2 HBD seeds (photo fem-not(g)) one was a dud and the other was a male, kind of sucked(ha). Such is life, water off a ducks back.
