I'm Ready- Blue OG, White Lavender, OG #18, and Sour Kush.

Update: Within 24-hours of transplanting to the Geopot 1-gal containers with the Roots Organics potting soil, the seedlings have doubled in size. Poor drainage in the plastic cups was preventing the roots from getting oxygen. Lesson learned, way more drainage holes next time and better seedling soil with more perlite. Couple of the seedlings are in shock from the transplant. I hope to see a recovery soon with similar growth.

Good thing this isn't a race. Lol, I just want to cross the finish line!

I did some Xplanting yesterday as well. I had to get my Menage a Trois into a five gallon container to flip her into flower today. I know I should have taken care of that a week ago, but my time has been taken up by getting the new veg room and all going. I'm sure she will be fine she never shocks from Xplanting anyways, and I want her to stretch some. I also left my Iced Grapefruit in the flower room as well to make the 600W light worth running. I'm gonna veg the Blue O.G for at least another 3 weeks I think to get her into a proper bush before the flip. I am really glad to hear you're babies are liking the Xplant and doing so well. I'm sure the ones in shock will be fine now that they can breath and all. I think you'll like the fabric pots I know I really enjoy them outside. I've never used them inside yet, but I would like to pick a couple up for the flower room. I hear they're a real pain to Xplant, exactly why I haven't used them in a Xplant scenario. I really think the difficulty in Xplanting is outweighed by the benefits of all the air getting to the roots though. I also like the idea of air pruning the roots instead of a big knot of roots circling the pot. I can't wait to see what you can do with these girls. Peace out for now.

Is that the fabric pot itself or a liner thingy? I guess that could make your life quite easier huh? Good lookin out there Prosperian! Peace out bro.

Those are fabric pots. You can order with Velcro and handles as an option.

My 5 gal geopots don't have the Velcro, but I added the handles to lug them around.

That Velcro is a great idea. When I did my transplant with fabric pots of pained me to feel the little root tips ripping out of the side of the pot. They did take off after the transplant though. The additional space and new soil definitely makes up for the minor plant stress.

It's .55 cents more to add the Velcro seam to the 1 gal. container order. I also added the seam to the 3 gallon size. I think it's a good investment and it will save me some headaches down the road during transplanting. Added a couple of saucers on the floor with water. Humidity is a little low in there, otherwise, just watching my grass grow.

Vaped some of the Pineapple Exp. last night after about 84 days curing. Sweet on the tongue like dipping in pure sugar with a pleasant fruity taste that lingers a few seconds and finishes silky smooth.


Need to get the movie, haven't seen it in a while, but I remember laughing my ass off.

I love that movie, I bought it right when it came out. I got the Blu-Ray it has alot of cool extra stuff on it. I also enjoy the Pineapple Express, and have grown her a couple of times, great smoke. I'm going to start a journal of my flowering in the tent that I started today, so if you want come on over and follow along. I have a G-13 Labs strain going, you might be interested. I think the small extra investment is really worth it considering all the troubles it will save you. I hate having to beat a plant up to get it out of a container, what could be easier than Zziiipppppp, put in bigger pot fill in with dirt and done. I think I know what kind of pots i'm gonna be pickin up in the future, good lookin out on that Prosperian. I just noticed in the pic that Franco doesn't have a magazine in his A.K., ha ha. Gotta love movie slips. Take it easy and thanks for the tips man. Peace out.

I must be feeling better. Decided to tackle my heat issue with the HID head on!

Added two more holes to the ceiling and removed the Phresh carbon scrubber from the attic.

Bought a 90 degree 6" elbow and 6" to 4" coupler for a clean fit to the cool tube.



Here is a pic with the ducting attached.



Exhaust port going to ceiling.



Here is a good pic looking up at the 400w HID cool tube. I have the batwing taped closed to make it easy to work with.



Here is a picture of the carbon scrubber (Phresh) sitting on the rack. It is attached to the ceiling for exhaust and cleaning the room. I will be adding a 4" fan and variable speed controller tomorrow in the attic. Depending on temps I can run a duct from the exhaust side to my sun room and provide cooler air to that part of the house. Maybe capture some of the cool air currently be lost!



Tweak here and there to improve performance. But I think this should work pretty well.

Looks like we switched! I dumped the 6 inch to 4 inch convertor to my hood to open the hood and allow more freedom to move it around. Slightly higher temps but now my fan is running at full force and sucking out heat from the whole tent.

I blame you slipon for the 1:45 min of my life I will never get back because I was stoned and watched that trailer and proceeded to find it on Netflix....

Setup looks good Prosp. Nice and clean. Keep it up, man.

Definitely will follow your journal. Me like bud porn. Thx

I try to keep you on your toes. Never seen Soul Plane. How bad could it be with Snoop in it? That bad?

I'm committed to the HID system. It's like a personal challenge for me to overcome the heat in the closet yet make it as efficient as possible. I'm going to keep watch the LED market. I have guys like you and Trueg blazing the path, but there still seems to be a lot of issues in the industry around pricing and getting the hardware you pay for. Just like anything new, it will take some time for the reputable companies and products to move to the top.

Ha, either way, as long as it gets the job done. I will be running two inline fans, that has to move enough air to cool things down. Probably won't recapture the lost cool air, but at least I can run lower cfms when the lights are off vs. full on 24-7. I'm one of those Dads that tells his kids constantly "shut off the bathroom lights", "close the back door", "turn the water off". Hate wasting resources.

Hey, thanks man. Had to run with the closet door open last night. Don't have the fresh air system running yet, but I should have everything in place by later this afternoon.

48 hours after transplant they have grown! Sorry for the blurry shots, still haven't had my coffee this morning!
