The bag seeds never popped so I'm waiting on a couple beans to pop this weekend.

So we got Gorilla Zkittlez going in a 1 gallon container loaded with some Happy Frog. Everything for soil building is in transit and almost ready to get fully rocking.

Will run the SIP Buckets as a Living Soil setup but already got the gears running in my head to transition to a no till bed next go around.

So yea that just about covers it. Again welcome to my Laundry room closet and and fingers crossed for some successful future grows!!

Out of the mini fridge I went 160ish days from seed and kept the plant at about 9-10 inches tall.

I yielded around 3 ounces of buds and almost an ounce of trim and popcorn/larf

I haven't decided what I'm gonna do with training for this box. Was bouncing the idea around in my head about doing some mainlining and tomato cages ontopof each tote.

Was thinking that with the explosive growth that these SIP Buckets have shown in the past that I might be able to make quick work of this technique instead of the regular 2+ month veg times for mainlining in regular pots.

If I do end up scrogging I really would like to do 3 separate net systems attached to the totes similarily to the mini fridge setup so I can still take each plant out of the cabinet for maintenance

Incase yall didn't know, this guy is basically McGuyver & this threads gonna be lit AF

Looks great! I remember the post when you revealed this build. I can’t wait to see it go.

Yes!! It's been a minute since I revealed it and took awhile to get here but it's all set to go now!!

Picked up my two other Strains yesterday and got them germinating now.

So the lineup will consist of
1- Gorilla Zkittlez- Barney's Farm
1- Francos Lemon Cheese- GreenHouse Seeds
1- Apple Blossom- Humboldt Seeds

All 3 are feminized photo periods.

Really looking forward to this run now!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Cheers!

Gorilla Zkittlez doing great. 4 days above soil.

Waiting on the Lemon Cheese and Apple Blossom to pop now




Cheers!!

Lemon Cheese and Apple Blossom have both popped.

Saw shells had cracked a couple hours ago and here we are now. I've got an early morning and a long day tomorrow so I'll be popping these in soil tonight in a couple hours.





Cheers!

Lemon Cheese and Apple Blossom sown into their pots and Gorilla Zkittlez cruising along.




Still waiting on all my soil building materials to arrive to get started on getting these SIP Totes live!

Cheers!

We are at Day 7 from breaking soil with Gorilla Zkittlez




And coming in right at a week behind we've got Francos Lemon Cheese and Apple Blossom breaking soil today!!




Did some maintenance and rerouted some cables to clean some of the wiring up. Also got my two hurricane clip fans in and got one mounted tonight




Cheers!

So got my second Hurricane Fan up and was messing around with a light meter app and was finding right in the middle of the two lights there was quite a hotspot where the two lights were overlapping. To get an even light spread I angled the lights up on the inside and it brought all my readings withing +/- 15 ppfd across the board.




Been crazy hot here and although the laundry room has a dedicated vent for a/c it keeps the temp pretty regulated. Only been having issues with getting my Humidty up. Short of getting an actual humidifier and relying on soil moisture and the little amazon bottle humidifier, I've put my Fan on a time to kick on once per hour for 15 minutes. This has kept the humidty up from 42% to 60+. Temp has maintained a constant 78-82 range with lights on and low 70s when lights off. On a 20/4 light schedule currently with the off hours being 12-4. When this room is the hottest. I'm sure it won't be long til I can maintain good humidty in here as they get larger and get hefty waterings.



All of my materials for soil will be arriving on Wednesday. So hopefully by the weekend I will have the SIP Totes filled with their living soil and get a good mycelium mat and cover crop going.

While the soil is doing its thing I'll be focusing on a nugbucket style mainlining for training of these ladies. I love Scroggins but I've done it for all but one of my grows and with a decent setup and to test the capacity of the entire box I've decided against a net this run. If it become unruly, I'll definitely consider a modular scrog system that I can still remove the totes from the Closet.

Apple Blossom and Lemon Cheese are finally taking off. The Gorilla Zkittlez, I came home to some canoeing. Checked the apple blossom and sure enough it's tiny little leaves were canoed as well. Checked the lights and somebody (stoned me lol) left the lights on 30% I knew something was up when I saw the Temps hit almost 90 in the box when I was checking the cam on my phone at work. Ooops lol.

Got everything regulated when I got home and we're cruising now.







Francos Lemon Cheese was growing flat under the first light layer of soil. Brushed soil off and she finally lifted herself high.

Cheers!!
