Secret Jardin DR120 Flower + DR120W Veg

[Dezracer]

I feel you. My physical ailments have made it almost impossible to do the work I'm good at anymore and you have to be able to really bust ass if you want to make any real money so I haven't really been working much. Just here and there and believe me, I earn every penny I make and pay for it afterward in the way of loss of sleep due to pain all night long. I've been knocking on doors looking for a job too and it's pretty damn rough. I have an interview myself tomorrow though so wish me luck and I will be talking to yet another person about another business opportunity tomorrow as well. I'm not entirely sold on the opportunity though so I'm pulling for the regular job.

Good luck on your interview too.

This is what I had in mind

But instead of 3 trays only 2 with maybe 4 or 5 sites each and hopefully it'll just take up half my flower tent, that way I can stick a few plants in 5 gallon buckets with soil as well. Stealthhydro.com has that set up for $400, I see about $70 in parts there plus the misters, pumps etc...

Can build that for alot cheaper than $400

Just dropped you a little good luck rep DR. Fuck manual labor, I'm still sore from cleaning up my mother in laws back yard. I want my nice air conditioned cubicle back, lol

Yea I know, hopefully I can pick up a few parts here and there during the summer and get it set up and ready by around August. If it works well I might just go full aero during the winter and soil in the summer

Transplanted PE#5 into a 3 gallon smart pot this morning and planning to throw her into flower this weekend. I ended up super cropping PE#6 so I'm gonna let her recover before transplanting her then flower her. Was hoping to run them side by side but #6 was stretching while #5 stayed bushy...weird.

I'm hoping to throw in 2 Sour OG's in the next few weeks too

Here's some of Delilah curing in my custom jar (thanks bc)

It dried up pretty quick because it was very airy, I still haven't sealed it yet, gonna let it dry another day, if it even lasts that long.... I'm gonna be dry soon and don't want to buy any

At Lowes you can get the vinyl fence post "sleeve" (no pre-cut slots) I think at 120" Also Lowes has a Green sprayer that works 100 times better than the red ones from HD. The HD sprayers are for a higher preasure system. the green ones from lowes are perfect for the mag drive pumps which only give you about 6psi or so. I'm building a high pressure system using brass spayers like you find on those misting wands. using 4" sewer pipe. I wish I had spent the extra for the squaree fence posts.running 10 tubes to start and eventually I'll have about 30 when I am done expanding. but that is all for veggie garden. On the round pipe, if you want a tight fit use a smaller hole saw size and then use a utility knife or a deburring tool to widen the hole across the top. That's if you use 3" netpots. 2" may not be as bad of a gap on the low sides. I'm also debating the option of just doing nft and drop the sprayers. I'll have to do a couple of tubes nft and see how it goes.
I've been lurking on you & bill collectors thread for a while, learned some good stuff too, thanks!

thanks, all credit goes to billcollector...just wish I had some nice fat nugs to put in it, hahaha

PE#3 supposedly has 2 weeks left but I think it'll easily go another week or so. I ran into another spider mite problem, it took over my Jack Herer literally over night. I ended up removing a ton of bud sites on it and only left the 2 main cola's. All week I stuck 2 NP strips in the flower tent while the lights were off and it seems to have gotten rid of them. I'm going to use the strips all week again just in case. I need to stop trying to save money and get all new soil, I've been recycling soil that may have been infected from the last cycle

Thanks man, I'm hoping to get this going in late May early June and have it all set up by August. I don't want to deal with water temps during the summer, it's bad enough I can't keep my temps in the low 80's during a cool day, I can't imagine what it's going to be like when the real heat gets here.

I do a ton of lurking on threads too, some of the best information is hidden in random threads

Mornin bro, hope all is well over there, sorry to hear about the mites, you will get them eventually

How is your week looking?

 

[bajafox]

Good morning dude, how's your eye?

I should have run more strips from the beginning but oh well, lesson learned. Hope to get rid of them for good soon, the BK98 is coming along real nice and I'd hate for her to get infected.

All clear until Wednesday, my wife has a short day Thursday for a 5 day weekend. It's our anniversary but we're gonna spend it caring for our dog who's getting his balls chopped off, lol

neem oil can be used in soil and when used to water plants it will kill and suffocate any larvae and adults.
i think you should try more then the no pest strips, you need something on the leafs its self and al over the plants and wash the room real good.
maybe get some benifical bugs

Dez was talking about meeting up this week, so we can take care of another DOG

I'll try to pick some up soon, for now I'm going to use SM-90 along with the NP strips. Until I stop using the NPS I'd rather not use lady bugs but hopefully soon. I also need to get some more soil and bigger pots for the next cycle. I want to flower a Sour OG and a Casey Jones in 5 gallon pots

Let's figure something out before Thursday

 

[bajafox]

Also need to pick up a 4" Y splitter and more 4" ducting to test something. My temps are fine when it's in the 80's outside but once we hit 90+ I'm going to have major heat issues, even at night.

Sorry to hear about your Jack, that sucks you had to trim her bud sites. How many of your plants have recycled soil? I was always under the impression that re-using soil was a big time NO NO, is that true? Could that be one of the main reasons why the Spider Mites are coming back again and again? I think after you take care of the bugs in your grow room you might want to fog your whole house. I got a can of Doctor Doom Fogger if you want it....let me know.

Peace

I tried using soil twice an as experiment with a Jack and everything was going great until the spider mite infestation. After I thought I was done with the mites I used some old soil without even thinking that it could still be contaminated and my guess is that's what happened this time.

As far as using soil twice, if it hasn't been effected by bugs, I don't think it's a big issue. As long as the soil was flushed thoroughly before and after harvest it didn't seem to effect the plants at all. If anything, the left over nutrients seemed to help speed up growth with the Jack I experimented with.

I still have a Hot Shot fogger left that I used for the flea's but not sure if it's safe to use in my grow room with plants late in flower. If it is, I'd be more than glad to bomb my grow room with it. Is that Doctor Doom Fogger safe for budding plants? I'd definitely use it if it is, just need to make sure I leave the apartment for the day and take my pets somewhere for a few hours, I can't risk them getting sick over it...thanks

Here are a couple of pics I took right when the light came on. I took them with my phone right before the HPS turned to bright yellow/orange.

The nute sensitive Sharskbreath #3, these yellow spots have happened to each and every SB I've grown, I've tried different nute strengths with her and I've always gotten those yellow spots...


Pineapple Express #3 main cola, day 48, still looks like it has a long ways to go. The last 2 PE's finished at day 55. This is the one that stretched like crazy, #4 and #5 are flowering and haven't stretched like this one did during the first few days/weeks...



White Russian #2, I might consider re-vegging this one if it turns out to be a good smoke. Maybe BC can show me how to reveg

Easy, lol throw her back in the veg tent after harvest

 

[bajafox]

Don't you need some kind of spray or additive? I'm also going to set my veg tent back to 16/8, will that be enough or does it need 18/6 or more?

The BK98 is growing all kinds of 3 and 5 fingered leave's in it's 2 week of flower and almost all of the single leave's on all 4 Sour OG's are gone too, but it seemed to take forever...

I think my Sour isnt gonna make it, I have her out in the GH to see if she will veg outside, but i dont have the space for her in the veg box. Too many healthy plants to waste time on a sick one.

I think I solved the mysterious AG problem, she is a CAL.Mag whore, and this last one is turning out to be the best one of the three I had so far.
