Just had some 16 day old cured BMC...holy shit what a difference. As soon as I have enough meds to get me by I am not smoking anything until it's been cured at least 3 weeks. I left a small nug to try again in another week The patience really sucks but I'm starting to see why

That's a lot of pics. Looking good Baja

i like the plant in pic 16 what strain is that one? and all the plants are lookin good. and ya curing does make a huge difference. when i harvested my shishka i had 8 jars full and i smoked about 2 jars a month and it seemed that every new jar i opend the smoke just got smoother, more taste and aroma and less harsh and by the time i hit the last jar 3 months later i was blown away by the difference

Thanks for stopping by today

No problem Sorry my homie flaked

That would be the Cole Train, her 2 clones finally rooted. I was afraid I had lost the strain, it was a freebie I got with my first Attitude order and a "practice" plant but she's turning out nicely

I can't wait to have enough meds that I can cure some ounces and not touch them for a few months

Looks good Baja, buds and ladies!

So I'm pretty set on my next set up. We should be moving in the next 6 to 8 weeks and I'll finally have my extra room to expand. I was debating between dual 4'x4' tents or a 4'x8' but I decided to go with a DR150 (5'x5') due to the fact that I may start working again soon and I won't be able to do this full time like I expected.

My plan is to use my current 600w hps setup and put it in the new tent plus a 400w mh. Basically I want to go from the carbon filter > Y splitter > cool tubes > Y splitter > 8" inline fan > exhaust

If that doesn't work a 10" should do the trick. I want to turn my flower tent into the new veg tent and my veg tent into the mating/breeding room aka the bunny ranch, hahaha

Lots to do soon, might need some help bill

 

[billcollector99]

Im always down to help build stuff, and I could always be a part time caretaker for the ladies

 

[bajafox]

Haha, I'll keep that in mind

I put my AG in my flower tent after the lights went out, it was 17" tall and vegged for 2 months. It has a 70 - 75 day flowering period so it should be ready around Christmas

 

[billcollector99]

I know what I want as a xmas present, lol.

 

[bajafox]

hahaha, it will still have to dry and cure of course but harvest day is around that time, hopefully

JH1 came out to 8.2 grams dry, no sampling yet


The next few plants should all be as big or bigger than Delilah except for a JH1 clone

Hi Baja,

It's been really interesting reading your grow journal, it's taken me about 3 days from start to finish and I'd like to say thanks for posting everything, your ladies are looking beautiful I love harvest time, it's great when you get the rewards for all the hard work.

I've just bought a very similar setup and got a few questions, if you don't mind me posting them in your journal?

[bajafox]

Thank you evilsheep. Post away, I will try to help as best I can, I'm still learning myself Looks like learning is a never ending process...haha

I've been growing DIY with CFLs in a cupboard for about a year and thinking about getting a tent all that time. I didn't know Secret Jarden did a tent the size you use until earlier this week, otherwise I probably would have got it ages ago, space is a bit limited here too. My new kit arrived yesterday, an almost identical setup, DR120W tent, 600w HPS cool tube, RVK fan, carbon filter and clip on fan. I wasn't sure whether to get a 400w or 600w light and seeing your success persuaded me that I could manage a 600w.

I put everything together yesterday, it took most of the day because I'm not very good at anything DIY. Unfortunately I'm having some heat problems and I'm hoping you might be able to help out. Can you post a pic of your tent that shows how your light and fan kit are set up and maybe the outside of the tent to see what you've done with the vent ducting? I live in a cooler area, though we're having a mini autumn heatwave this weekend, outside it's been about 75F. I set up my tent in the spare room, left it running over night and temps were between 82F and 92F. I was hoping to keep them below 80F, particularly with the cool tube helping out. You've had to battle worse heat than me, is there anything you've doone that really helped keep your temps down?

If you don't mind I could post a pic of what I've done so far?

 

[bajafox]

Go ahead and post what you have. I'm surprised your tent is running that hot during the night, mine can run in the high 70s if it were nice and cool outside. How many cfm is your fan rated at? Mine is 430cfm, with my ballast set to 600w I can run in the low to mid 80s all day if the temperature was in the 70's outside.

I'll take some pictures and try to post them soon

Now that JH1, Delilah, JH3 and BMB are done my Attitude order can start

The pics are kind of mixed up but flowering now are Cole Train, Delilah 2 (G13), Rocklock, Jack Herer '1', Sharksbreath, Acapulco Gold and a small BMB clone. It was pretty warm today so I had to run the tent at 400w and my highest temperatures were 91, over the weekend I ran it at 600w super lumens and it was running in the mid 80's. This is all from 7am to 7pm in San Diego. If you're in a much cooler area and running higher temperatures during the night then some adjustments probably need to be made. Are you running oscillating fans inside the tent? I have one oscillating and one pointing directly at the cool tube

Cole Train should be done within 7 - 10 days, her clones are finally rooting

plants are lookin good baja, the cool tube really seems to lower the light coverage area, it seems the light only goes straight down and doesnt spread out evenly.
i think with cool tubes you get much better coverage if you grow verticaly
