I only can give two options Big Bang or White Rino cause thats I've grown? Ice ...not feeling that.... GOT CHEESE

 

[Bob Smith]

Ice (9 and Master Kush (94) are both Cannabis Cup award winners.

I like that for bag appeal, truthfully.

Also the Wonder Woman is kinda non-negotiable because that's supposed to have ludicrous yields, so I'll definitely wanna do a harvest of that to see what I can max out at for weight.

And AK-48 just cuz of the short flowering and that I've heard good things about it.

 

[DND]

No dice on the RO filter yet, hoping within 2-3 days.

Also DND, glad you stopped by, cuz I gots a question for ya - did you light-proof your rez? I wasn't gonna, but am now figuring I might as well - just curious if you did or not and whether you think it needs it (since we have the exact same one).

I didn't, with the top being black and the number of plants in there...little if any light would get into the rez. If you have time tho, it's a good idea. Eliminates one less thing you have to worry about.

 

[DND]

Kinda annoyed that there's nothing else to buy for my flowering tent , so I'm looking at seeds online right now.

Unless I hear something from someone which sways my mind, going to order these four strains from Nirvana (feminized) tonight:

AK-48
Ice
Master Kush
Wonder Woman

All are indica dominant (short flowering) and heavy yielders, which is really all I'm looking for, as long as they're reasonably potent (I'm sure they all will be).

So, anyone have any thoughts? Good, bad, or otherwise? I'm fairly loyal to Nirvana because I've only ever used them and also been very pleased every time I have, so I'm gonna stay with them.

I can cosign for Master Kush, AK-48 and Ice...grew them all and they are all great. The only thing I would warn about is them being feminized. Nirvana has just recently started releasing the feminized versions and Im not sure about their stability. I know its a pain in the ass to grow them all from seed and have to sex them, but well worth it. You know a female is going to be a female without the chance of turning hermie. Just my .02

Yeah, figured as much, was just looking for an excuse to not do it.

I'm lazy.

Good point - I'll do some more research on that.

The current seeds I have are "normal", but if all else is equal, I'd rather pay the money to ensure that any plant I put into my flowering tent is going to be a female and flower for me.

But if the chances of being hermie are increased, I'll probably just buy "normal" again.

Hmmmmmmmmm................more research is needed.

Your setup looks awesome brother. I am glad you are getting it all together. It looks really really good and I can't wait to see how well E&F treats you

Thanks man, appreciate it.

Just waiting on this RO filter to get delivered and it's "go" time.

Thanks for the links, Integra - the "normal" versions of these are actually more expensive then the fem'd strains I'm planning on buying.

Need to do some more research on hermies/fem'd seeds before I can make my decision.

 

[Integra21]

My white widow seeds were femed and none hermied on me, but a buddy grew out the same seeds and had 9/10 hermie on him. So alone if the plants are taken care of they were fine, but we never figured out what he did to stress them. But obviously he did something. The general idea is that fem seeds are always more likely to hermie under stress than regular seeds.

Hmmmmmmm......................I'm thinking I might just buy some "normal" seeds then............get more (10 instead of 5) and they cost less...........could just pop five at a time, throw the best four into the tent with my "real crop", and then pick a mama from that.

That way I'll always have my 25 plants flowering, plus I can squeeze the additional four in there to sex and then flower to check out their characteristics.

Thanks man, just saved me some research time

Yup, that's what I'm gonna do.

 

[Bob Smith]

No Wonder Woman because that only came as a feminized seed - figure with these three and the three I already have, I should be good in case I ever need to move and shut down my op for a bit - six strains is plenty, methinks, and since I only pop five beans at a time, I'll have five beans of each strain remaining.

Item Sku Qty Subtotal AK-48 (10 seeds) AK48 1 $ 27.95 Ice (10 seeds) Ice 1 $ 27.95 Master Kush (10 seeds) MK 1 $ 27.95 Subtotal $ 83.85 Shipping & Handling $ 7.47 Tax $ 0.00 Grand Total $ 91.32

 

[Bob Smith]

Will probably be here Monday, and at the latest Tuesday.

As soon as I get that thing hooked up and get 40-45 gallons from it, the clones are going into the flowering tent to veg (Wednesday at the latest).

Just a heads up.

 

[Integra21]

and you said the prices were better. Thats a dollar cheaper for 2/3 strains. But you got some good ones. Lets see that ice grow dude. That was one I thought about for a while.

Yeah, I'm excited as well - and I told you, I'm loyal to Nirvana - never had a problem with them and I feel that 90%+ of the difference people claim between breeders/strains is marketing hype.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Very nice! You'll like the Ice.

Your room is looking great Bob, all that hard work is finally starting to pay off, great job, can't wait to see it full of beautiful ladies now!

Burn on!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the compliments

FYI, the room's gonna be seeing some real action sometime on Tuesday - filter's delivered Monday, so installing that and then running it long enough to get me the 40-45 gallons I'll need will most likely take me into Tuesday - but, have been running the room all day today and the temps staying between 74-78 and the PPM are in-between 1450-1600 constantly - no exhaust has kicked on at all, which I like a lot.

No problem my friend!

Now that's freaking sweet, Nice job on the construction! Its going to pay off very nicely!

The sentinel does everything related to temp, humidity, and ppm's correct?


Burn on!

Thanks DUDE!, happy to have you aboard.

So I'm obviously back from the stores and have been doing some tinkering; I'd tell you exactly what went down but pics show it better.

View attachment 568137

So here's the grommets and barbs from the hydro store - the dude likes me enough (plus I single-handedly keep the store in business) that he just gave 'em to me.

View attachment 568138

I could've bought the 7/8" drill bit by itself for $5, but for $5 more got all the drill bits that you see here, which ended up being a wise investment on my part.

View attachment 568139

Here's the 6" by 24" (thought it was by 18" before) Phresh filter that I just copped - hope to install by tomorrow-ish.

View attachment 568140

Here's the aluminum tape (extra thick for less applications - it's kinda expensive, that roll was $20) and a gallon of pH down - tap water's 7.5 in my neck of the woods.

View attachment 568141

Trial and error - trying different sizes, methods, etc. - that plastic's pretty brittle so it's kinda hard to get a nice, even hole out of it - now that I think about it, I wonder if a standard bit as opposed to a wood bit would work better.

View attachment 568144

This is the size that finally ended up working best for me, although now I'm really thinking about using a normal drill bit.

View attachment 568142

This is my success story - even though I ended up getting the others to work, I needed to test whether or not it's really water tight - so far, so good, and I've been splashing and agitating it pretty good to check for leaks.

The inside, not a lot to see here.




So, that being done, where's it leave us?

Well, my thing is that I have no problem taping the buckets up with tape, because that's pretty easy, but the tops are a real biatch to work with; so my solution is as follows:

Gonna go buy 20ish buckets from Home Depot at $2.50 a piece and also just ordered 20 of the black, standard lids from US Plastic - was gonna do the buckets from them as well, but with shipping it came to like $5 more a bucket overall, and $100 isn't worth the fifteen minutes it'll take me to tape up the orange Depot buckets.

So, I'm fairly pleased right now, gonna be able to fill, drain, and test from one bucket as opposed to 3, and I also like that the buckets will be 100% light-proof.

An added benefit is that I love how much stronger the five gallon buckets are as opposed to the "flimsy-ish" Rubbermaids.

step drill bits work great
