Back to my "Roots"

[Tim Fox]

Hey everyone, starting my one and only grow for the year, and doing my journal over here where it all started in the indoor stealth section
Growing some Jack Herer and Space Kittles

 

[vajesus]

Why only one grow/year?

 

[Tim Fox]

Why only one grow/year?

in oregon rec is legal and we are allowed to grow 4 plants at any given time,, my wardrobe grow box typically houses 2 plants , and it yeilds me way more than i can smoke in a single year, my stash pile is already bigger than i need for 1 year of meds,, so this grow is almost just for fun

 

[Tim Fox]

Let's see what you got Tim. Off to a good start. cheers!

i am growing inside of a 2x3 x 6 feet tall wardrobe,

 

[Tim Fox]

This time around I am growing in a SIP again, but this sip is called a "growbox" last time i used the "earthbox",,, the growbox has a bigger water res at 4 gallons, and you can see it has a fill port on the front,, so allot less spilling, and i can see the res level as well

 

[Tim Fox]

and a top view,, it has 2 wicks left and right, and water roots can make thier way thru the holes as well

Good to hear, I always say I'm glad my season is over and will not miss it until next season.....got everything completely done and put away from harvest time in Nov......and I'm already thinking about taking care of babies again ...lol

I was gifted some strains for the holidays that I've never grown before....should be a pretty fun 2018

Will see I guess .....again GL

sweet,, i was pleasantly surprised at all the strain choices at the state legal store, thursday they are getting in a bunch of cookie strains,, but i was very happy to get my hands on some jack herer
i agree,, i am always happy when the holidays are over,,, i enjoy them,,, but its a bunch of hub bub ,,, ill try to not grow into an old fuddy duddy

 

[Tim Fox]

KISS ,, nutes are dry tomato tone ,, organic bag soil ( i know i know) mixed in 2 cups of dry fert and then also did 3 trenches of nutes like the earthbox planting method

 

[Tim Fox]

ok, the clones are almost adapted to the SIP,, as soon as they get all perky,, they will get CHOPPED!!! at the red lines,, preparing to build the mainfold needed to start the mainlining process
first pic is jack herer and where she is getting cut,,
second pic is space kittles and where she is getting cut, the arrows show where the left and right manifolds will start,, maybe today,, maybe tommorow,

 

[Nugachino]

Neat little setup there.

Neat little setup there.

thanks,, i think this is my 5 or 6th run thru this wardrobe,, I rebuilt the cob light again, and i have 375 watts of cob power at my disposal,,

 

[Nugachino]

I'm in a similar setup. Just slightly smaller. 50cm by 90cm by 115cm. I didn't have the dosh to get 3-4 cobs. Hence my selection of 2 vero 29c. Ran at 182w, 1.4amps.

Yup,, i hear you on cash flow,, those veros rock, i have a buddy has a couple of those high power vero's in his line up,, are yours dimmable?

 

[Nugachino]

Yes and no. They dim to an extent. Then I get light flicker. Kinda like the strobing effect.

intersting, but it is what it is,
the meanwell driver i am using on the outside 4K citi cobs can dim down to 10 watts draw ,, lol, the 2 inside cobs are the cree 3070s and they are not dimmable, , only the citi 4k;s are on now, and they are dimmed down, not sure of the pull at the wall , its just a knob and i twist it ,, really i meant to make marks so i knew , but i was lazy,, hahaha

 

[Tim Fox]

first hack is in the books,, I took the jack herer at the next node up than i was originally planing, and i took the space kittles right where i planned, the reason for the jack change was the nodes were closer together a couple inches higher,, and that will be better for manifolding,, plus its equal in height to the space kitties mainfold start,
on another note,, Jack herer is from an older mother, and has large spacing between nodes,,, and space kittles has perfect spacing, so kitties mother must have been grown from seed? or is a very young mother,, its fun to see nugbuckets description before my eyes
so mainfold height for now is about 6 inches above soil,, we will see where it ends up with a little stretch
