Nice Nice, My AKs and Purple Urkels have rooted (7 days) and nothing from the PKs(8 days counting) I think they should root anyday now.. Exactly how long did you flower the last run? Are you planning on changing that on this run for any reason? Anything that stood out from the last run.

Yeah, my cuttings have been in the cloner for 5 days and are just starting to show the bumps. Should be showing roots over the next few days.
I flowered for 61 days last round and will probably cut that by about a week or so this round. I don't think the there was much growth the last week and the trics were turning amber at week 7. I have thought about cutting the tops and let the lower branches go another week if possible. The only challenge I have is the trimming process and the odor that insues. It was a big issue with the last round. I don't want to prolong the process any longer than I have to if you undertand what I mean. I think I am going to frame a trim tent out of pvc and wrap with panda film with a carbon filter exhaust in my garage instead of trimming in my dinning room next time. The smell has just subsided the last couple of days in the house.

Well to be honest, If I don't get this power situation undercontroll I may be downsizing my lights. I am meeting the meter reader this month to determine if my meter may be bad. It doesn't make sense the kwhrs I am ussing. over two thousand per month just for the set-up and a total 3000 kwhrs total. I did but in a new breaker and a relay totry and make it more efficient. I also addeda did=gital time clock too.

This morning right before lights out with I foliar treated with azamax. I have had 0 bugs. I mean, not one spec on the sticky pads. I really like the azamax over the azatrol. I gave them a drench treatment 4 days ago and this was the first foliar treatent as a preventative. I focus most of the treatment on the underside of the canopy with a light mist accross the tops. I then spray whatever is rest over the tops and sides of the pots, on the trays, and basically mist the entire area. I took a couple shots while I was down there.
Oops the lights went out on me.

Looking real good in there. That does seem like a lot of kwh hours. on a 12/12 cycle a 1000w should pull about 370-400 KWH per month. Good deal check with the meter man. I try and keep the artificial sun gods on my team..... Would be sweet if you had a bad meter........ Hope you get that figured out.
Trimming... The tent idea is interesting, I would probably take a different method. I would either (a) trim in the grow room (b) trim in a deep corner of the house and keep everything contained up there (c) bring in the big guns and trim real quick and get it done all at once.
What if you build a small tent/ cabinient that you could put all of the trim, drying buds in, trim near by, and then scrub the area.
My first trimming ended up down in the living room in front of the TV and ended up being a project in progress for 5 days. I will be transforming the grow room into a trim lounge for 24 hours or so, and calling over a few hands. Maybe we will all get some masks and get some good pics of the party......

Yeah, I think it is high too. I used 3200 klhrs last month compared to 800 this time last year. I would be stoked if the meter is fucked up, because right now I am stressing over the power bill.
I thought about trimming in the room too. Brining in a table, chairs, tv etc. It just means I am down a week in my flower. I haven't ruled that idea out yet. I would be bring in some help to knock it out as well.

damn bro...
If I had the money....
I would pay the bill for you just to watch them grow...... with the extra 400s.......
Are you saying your like me? You actually work for the money to pay the utilities? Like a regular job? (me, carpenter)
People look at me funny when I tell them I am having a hard time with the bills.... they say "aren't you sitting on a lb or two? Couldn't you use that to pay the utilities?" I look back at them with confusion as well.
A stern look that says "and I thought you knew me."

I hear you with the bill. I thought my bill was going to be much higher than it ended up being. I had it in my mind it would be expensive, and then it turned out to be much less. Woudn't it be great to have a tent to trim in?
I had this idea for a growroom today. The idea would be to buy a tent with 2 doors, and throw 1 light in there and what not. Put it against a wall(or similar) with a door behind the tent. So you have to go through the tent to get through the door. Which would then lead into the larger growroom. Then you wouldn't have to worry as much about concealing odors, fans, light, etc.
Hope all is well. Interested to see what you come up with as a solution to the trimming, because it is definitely an issue for me.......

LOl I know exactly what you mean. I do work for a living too, I work in the financial industry. If I can get the bill thing figured out, I will definatley consider aome more light though.
I have heard from other local gowers with more lights than me that my bill is to high. That is why I am having them come out and look at my meter.
I like the tent as an entry to the room.

for what your running... should be between 250-350 mo, just for the set up, not including veg.... about 400 for both.... depends on your power company too....

I am running about 2200 extra kw hrs per month which seems a bit much. Should be closer to 1000 with my set-up. I use this calculator which calculates kwhrs and and estimated cost and it always comes out to less than 1000 kwhrs. Keep in mind I also have a extra medical allowance from PG&E ( power company) Needless to say, I am curious to see what they say about my meter.
Oh here is the link to the calculator -->> http://odograph.com/experiments/php/instantkwh.php

I had mine raised for extra heating and cooling. There is a part of the PG&E medical baseline allowance qualification that says somthing like " patient requires extra heating and cooling due to medical condition." It just has to be signed by a liscensed physician and doesn't specify why. I had my primary physician sign for arthritus/disc probs in my back. If you call them they try to tell you it is only for life support, but it is not. Print the form out and get your doctor to sign and they basically double your basline.
