New Grow room

[stoneotter]

That sounds like like a good recipe. My hydro store sells Michigan m3 soil mix. I'
ve been using it for the last three grows with good results. I think big will be good since I'm off the beaten path. I'll have the tent going too. It's an experiment. If I get enough sun to grow great girls then next year I could go with a couple or 4 outdoor big girls and shut the lights out for the summer. I'm shut down right now. The Ms and I are going away for a week. I'll call you for a clone and a visit when we get back. Thanks! Gotta love a new adventure!

oldjarhead_ so how long do you put them in the dark for? I'm going to take two plants down next week and hang them in the dark for probably 5-7 days...but two of the others look like they might need another 5-7 days....I've never tried the "3 days in the dark before harvest technique" before. How much do they grow or mature during those three days? what would happen if you left them in the dark for 5 days? I could water the heck to of them before i leave or set up a drip system to feed them while I'm gone...

How long is to long to stay in veg OJH? Kinky Mutant and her sibs are 57 days along 🍃🌱

 

[oldjarhead100]

have a great time where are you going?

 

[oldjarhead100]

Paracelsus I dont think there is a to long veg period ,to me it depends on the plants when I get them where I want them ill flip them. I will say it is my suspicion that if you leave a plant in veg for a long time then your bloom stretch is greatly reduced ,this grow I'm doing tutankhamons and I dont think I'm going to have a stretch problem

 

[oldjarhead100]

I had to move the veg room over to the bloom room for two days then they will be in there for good , the veg room is ready for clones and I moved the tallest seedlings to the auto room they will get cloned today as well , I moved 4 plants to dark yesterday and have 5 left in bloom they will leave today lol, 4 of the 5 IDK the strain My buddy gave them to me I think they are either pineapple chunk or kush bomb but I'm not sure it really doesn't matter I need to make some oil and these will do lol what a day i'm going to have I'm excited I have over 50 clones to plant into 1 gallon pots and then,Im going to take clones from the seedlings and the tutankhamons harvest 4 plants then move the rest of bloom to dark and start cleaning and setting up scrog for the tuts moving in, It doesn't show it good but the tuts I moved into the bloom room are a dark rich color and the ones in there were almost lime green lol

You must be from the north east I’m from down east Maine no not really just like saying down east in a state that is most north but ethierway l. Last 3 days have been gorgeous 70s I was sweating hard my daughter got in the pond it was a nice time. But weird to go from snow and 40s Monday to 70s and nice as summer the next lol never understood our weather system up here

 

[oldjarhead100]

heres a chuckle for you all yesterday while moving plants I notice a couple of affids so I grabbed my sprayer and sprayed all 9 of the tuts on the very last one I was done in fact I realized I was using powdery mildew cure and not bug spray so I get to spray them all again today , when I realized it I shook my head and shut down lol

 

[alltatup]

Ojh be careful w thise chemicals

 

[Tika]

Ditto Alltat OJH 🙄

 

[stoneotter]

It's easy to do when we sample the meds we grow. Got that shirt. You caught it quick!

 

[oldjarhead100]

I use all natural organic stuff, the garlic smell is what triggered me realizing it lol, for bugs I use neem oil it has a different smell , thank you for the concern I try and be as careful as I can

 

[oldjarhead100]

ok I had a very long day I was down cellar from 8 to 5 was just like working for a living no wait I worked alot harder working for a living lol, I was able to get 40 clones planted 22 tutankhanon and 18 pine apple chunk , then I was able to take 20 more tut and ten white widow, ten skunk and ten power Africa (they did not like cloning everyone of the PA clones is laying down this morning ), I harvested 4 plants 2 diesel and 2 critical I found that if you grow plants as autos for three months and then stick them in bloom and water everyday like the rest of the plants when they are in dirt ,they grow a massive amount of seeds lol ( I found my next batch of RSO candidates . ) I never got to moving the bloom room around and setting up the scrog . the clones did have some major root systems gotta love that voodoo juice ,the fourth pic is pre cloning and the 5th after. the 6th pic are a couple of branches I found on the floor after I was done

 

[oldjarhead100]

so I forgot to say the 5th pic is my outside grow minus ten pine apple chunk

 

[oldjarhead100]

All I had time for yesterday was moving the done bloom plants out of the room watered and put the 7 tuts back in bloom will try the scrog today but again family takes precedent so I only have till 1030 and its seven now so i'm off lol

 

[Paracelsus]

Thanks that’s good to know OJH

 

[oldjarhead100]

no scrog yesterday but I got all the rollers and drive wheels on my light mover changed

I measured a shorter plant and it was 30 inches now most of the others are taller than that . I was thinking I should hang the scrog at 32 inches and start weaving the girls into it once I get the air and drain systems installed
I have about 14 inches that I can raise the light

 

[oldjarhead100]

the 1st and 5th pic is my drain system and air system and the rest are after the install this is the idea behind the scrog right , not sure how this one is going to work ,in the future I think I will no veg for so long and lower the scrog its hung at 32 inches right now ,I dont have alot of room for adjusting the height of the light ,Im going to have to lay down and do the 3 week defole lol ,I watered after the install and it wasn't to bad kept hitting the wall with the scoop handle I will have to figure that one out

I think from now on I will only do 8 plants at a time 4 side by side thats if this grow works ok theirs 12 and the end 4 are only about half way under the light but they all get between 50 and 80 k lux if I only put 8 in then they all will be under the light completly

 

[oldjarhead100]

I am going to have to lie down and trim/defoil when I do the 3 week defoil lol

heres a question how long do I tuck the new growth under the scrog
