Well fun grows are always nice. Wish I had the room to mess around like that in.

Idk if I can pull 8oz out of the 10 gallon pot I would consider it a success in my book.

After that big one is done I'll be running three at a time in 5 gallon pots, get my perpetual cycle started back up.

8 sounds about right for that space really..... be full.....
Eight 5g pots really? Sounds more like a SOG.

Understand that I will be vegging these girls for 6-8 weeks under T5s before they go into flower. Besides the fact that I'm limited on a small veg box and a skinny flowering closest.

Growing in weird spaces is my thing at the moment lmao. :D

My last with my AK48s, I started them 12/12 from seed. In just a 4x2 foot area I would of gotten around 8-9 ounces off 5 plants.

I lost probably 2 ounces from bud mold. The colas were fking dense. Humidity was kind of high. Never saw it until harvest.

Alright guys here are a couple pictures of the 8 Ball Kush plant I'll be flowering in place of the Lucids.

She has pretty restricted height, so she is only a 1 1/2' tall, but she is already 2' wide, with well over 25 established tops. She'll be transplanted into a 10g pot from her current 3g or 5g pot, can't remember exactly. She'll then be vegged for a couple weeks to get use to the new pot, and to fill out a scrog screen. Trying to fill up a 6' x 2' space as much as possible with this one plant. Going to take some work!




Very skunky this one.

Alrighty! Another nights sleep means another day of work and adventure. No day starts without a wake n bake though.

A buddy of mine has hooked me up with some Sour OG Kush. I don't know if it's the real deal but fk it sure is potent enough to be.
****

Today my Apollo Purple Sun 384w COB LED panel should arrive any time now, said it was on the truck, they normally come in the mornings so hoping it will be here soon. Going to get that baby up today, start running a LED/HPS setup, should be a lot of fun.

Since the Lucid Xs girls, flowering now, are starting to form seeds, they will be moved to my sun room to finish their days. Sad to see these were some crumby seeds, but it is what it is. Should still make for some good personal smoke, the potentcy is there, but no top quality strain is going to have seeds, at least in my book.
****

So the new 10 gallon Smart Pot, the 8Ball Kush will be going in, won't be here until tomorrow,, so I can't transplant her today. I will be changing the flower closest light schedule to 18/6 to allow the 8Ball to get use to her new pot before I flip her to flower. And I'll be putting a scrog net on her so it'll give it time to grow into that as well.

Time to continue the wake n bake!! :eyesmoke:

I do have a couple questions I want to ask when I'm adding 9the new dirt.
- So I'll be adding 5 gallons of dirt to the 10g pot when I transplant. Should I add any of the following to the 5g of dirt, if so how much?
--Alfalfa meal, kelp meal, EWC, PSG, Jamaican and Mexican Bat Guano, Epsom salt. All I have on hand currently.

@MD914 @woody333333 Any thoughts?

I always jazz up my soil (it's not dirt ;))
I just use a little of this..a little of that...I'm not much help with measurements because I just eyeball it and I'm usually mixing a kiddie pool full of soil at a time.

I would save the Mexican for a slurry or topdressing though...doesn't take much of that :mrgreen:

Your only mixing 5 gallons I would say tablespoons and teaspoons...

Officially apart of the LED hype. Might not be an expensive panel but I've had my Apollo HID 600w HPS for a long time now.

Plus they put a damn 3-year Warranty on the thing. A light goes bad or something, they get me replacement parts or a new panel within a week. Boom!

Well anyways, got the flowering girls into their new home. I cleaned up the flowering closest today, as well as installed my new LED panel. With the new light I now have a 6' x 2' space to play with. Very exciting. The panel is a 384w but actual draw is 180 is close to 800w total.








Don't you just love that red shag carpet? Hahaha.
