The Forest

Grow journal 2.0.
My next investments are portable AC and a heater. I am using 55% of available wattage to keep the temp at 80. Megacrop all over the place.
Flowering...
3Thirteen Seeds Purple Primate and Citrus Milf
Esosseeds Orangeberry Smoothie, Welchie and Dynoberry Bites
Heisenbeans Space Gorilla, GMO cake, Purple Cake
Schwaggy Fine Seeds Skunky VA


I will scrog this 3Thirteen Purple Primate (thanks @HydroRed)

A pair of Schwaggy's fine Skunky VA. I was glad to get this because the shorter statured Scwhaggy seeds sell out pretty fast. I have no room for that hells hypotenuse but i was sorely tempted...more than once.

The 20 x 36 x 62 inch tent was switched to bloom this morning. This pair of 3Thirteen Purple Primates are going to flower in here.
QB135 in 4K to see if it helps shorten the internodes on the GG4 stretch.

It is going to fill up without the scrog...in about 5 days.

Should be beastly.

A nice shot of the back right of the garden. These are in late bloom (30 to 46 days).
Back left is a Esosseeds Welchie (LVTK X Grape Sato) (6.5 gallon autopot) . It has a beauty cola and a lot of secondaries way below that cola.
Front Right is a HB GMO Cake (3 gallon coco pot)
Back right is a Space Gorilla (3gallon coco pot)
These are blooming under a 240 watt board (3k with 660nm chips) and overflow from everything else in the garden.

These are all growing with RO water and MC (15G) and Bud Explosion (1G) per 5 gallon bottle getting me to TDS 750ish

Random shots of this morning

My first succesful clone. I tried different things but cut-clonex-coco works pretty easy. This is HB GMO cake clone in reveg.

Next round (2 X Esosseeds dynoberry bites and 2 X HB Wedding Dub) and a Esosseeds OBSM clone

My last space gorilla. I made just over an oz of hash out of my last space gorillas. Best hash i hever smoked.
A 3 gallon coco pot helped keep the size of it in check. Much better for my lower ceiling (5 foot 6 lights to floor)

Nice
I'm doing the Megacrop thing after years of DynaGro
Which supplements are you using?
For me only the sweet and bud booster
Congrats on your first clone

In flower i use 15 grams of MC and 1 gram of bud explosion. I add calmag if they look like they need it but a lot of them do fine with just that.

Always RO water from the machine. I usually have 8 x 5 gallon bottles full so i can do water swaps easier. Flood and drains can take quite a bit.

I will soon remove my 315 CMH and change my lighting. It is my veg light but it produces too much heat where i have it.

Veg will be in my veg tent (QB135 4k) and in the veg room (240 watt 4k samsung 80CRI strips).

I ordered another 3k board for my bloom room so i max out at 680 watts of 3k and 3.5 k cobs and 480 watts of 3k boards with far reds (660nm and 770nm). The temps will dictate how hard i drive the lights but currently its at 800 watts over 30 feet (out of 50 max feet available and 1360 max available)

Purple Primate is filling it up fast. One of these will have to move to the bloom room.

Esosseeds.com Welchie. Its a beast. Week 6 of flower just finished. The top 2 feet are a single cola but there are many bracts with colas below this one. Really good frost coverage. LVTK..I think I am going to love it. And it will be great for hash or rosin. With and without flash. Frost on fans and all over. Really nice. Blooming under a 3k Folux board with a row of 660NM chips. The thing will flower and do it very well.

My temps are down to 78.5F. RH 65%. It will get dryer in a month or so. The dehuey produces too much heat so i just use fans and no PM.



Random bud shots. Things are ripening (3 plants harvest in the next 2 weeks).
Purple Cake (heisenbeans Wedding Cake X Purple Cake, delicious balanced buzz)

Space Gorilla week 8 (2 weeks out) more hash coming with this one.

Back to those brownies. Time to start the day.

Bookmarked, Thanks

I got a new tent. I ordered a 2 x 2 x 4 for a purpose and they sent a 32 x 32 x 62 inch tent. So now everything is working out pretty awesome.
I have 2 purple primates flowering in that tent now under a Timber 2VL (200 watts of 3500K Vero cob).

The rest are in the bloom room under various lights.
This is the Welchie on 60 days....getting very close. Welchie#2 is day 46.

Welchie#2

Schwaggy's fine Skunky VA day 21. Its a real stinker!

The 200 watt Timber 2VL is a rockstar. It was my first really good light i ever bought and wow it seemed pricey when I got it. Dan had to help me pick the spectrum and it came to my door for around 350 USD if i remember (470CDN).
I used it a few times and it always performed well. It was part of my cob section of my bloom room and i recently put it in a 7 square foot tent.
Wow did the girls respond. Cobs and boards and strips are fantastic. I moved my 315CMH into veg and it will probably stay there.
I have a 3k board being made to finish off the bloom room and then i will adjust things to optimize everything. My wife and I both have cards and after 6 months of growing i am getting things just right...


Glad for winter to help me to light the shit up but i will run everything soft as needed. I have good coverage and that is more important.

My garden has helped me in so many ways. It is what kept me sane through my wifes battle and demise. It helps me with my issues. And when you get honing it you can produce some pretty stellar bud.

the hobby is what really appeals to me. The ability to produce my meds for less than 1/10th of what the OCS charges really appeals to me and i know there are no pesticides etc. It was grown with care and love by me.

Purple Primate was growing too big for the tent so its in the bloom room (chopped a day 61 Welchie and the room became available).
This is taking up about 5 square feet. It is in a hempy style planter in coco. Growing like crazy now.

Just 1 Purple Primate (or citrus milf?) growing in the 7 footer. I think it will fill the space. Very thick stalks on this one it can support some monster buds.

Esosseeds.com Welchie is now in the dryer. I will check it out on Friday!

It is Purple Primate for sure. The stem rubs smell like glue and the other pair do not. I have a new 3k board light coming tomorrow (with a samsung far red strip too). I think i will give it 1 more week with the timber and swap it for the board.
I am doing a light rearagenement to maximise the coverage and i will run all the lights softer. Probably at 60% total.
Now the bloom room has max lighting of 1400 watts running at 850 to 1000 watts as needed for temp.


And Space Gorilla chopped at day 65. Grown in a 3 gallon coco pot and it kept under the lights well. Topped out at around 3 feet.
About 15 to 20% amber trichs. Smells great and i will smoke a hunk on Sunday. It will be really strong and it really gets that Alien OG flavor mixed up with Glue. It is savory instead of sweet. A nice change of flavors.

The new light came from True Northern Lighting based in Waterloo.
This is a 240 watt samsung strip light in 3k with a 30 watt far red strip (on separate cords). Verified by killawatt (245 and 33 watts)
Tonight it goes in the tent with 3Thirteen's Purple Primate. This way i can change things as i like to easier (and not crawl over shit in the bloom room).

The light is now in action. Once i charge a digital timer i will set it to run the far red all day and then for 15 minutes after lights out (11 1/2 all on and 15 just red)
I gave Purple Primate a bit of abuse to make her fit better. Now she can thrive under the new light.

I have another purple primate in the back of the garden. I had to clean it up so i moved it out and can get a shot. The plemon is keeping this plant very height managable.
Purple Primate #1 is in a 3 gallon hempy pot with coco.


And the one in the tent is loving the new light.

Just stuff today.
Purple Primate under the 4k 3.5k and then 3k far red board has kept very compact. It is currently 20 inches on top of the coco (one in bloom is 36).

She is a beauty. This tent will be dedicated to 1 lucky girl from start to finish forever. Only 4 per year will be gently loved in this area.





2 Bhangi Haze regs (Ace Seeds) and a Wedding Dub (Greenpoint Seeds bred by Heisen) Bhangi Haze are in 3 gallon coco pots and the Wedding Dub is in a 5 gallon. I might run a tray of wedding dub or half that and have GMO cake (4 and 4). I have an empty flood and drain and that will not suffice!

Its is a great day in the garden. Smells like weed all over the place

I got Schwaggy fine seeds Skunky VA from Great Lakes Genetics. It is worth the 30 dollars to ship. GREAT freebies.
I ordered Skunky VA and got Cherry Sunshine X Gelato45 for a freebie. I also got 3thirteen Citrus Milf and got Sin City Juice freebies. And then Bad Dawg freebies too (2 packs). plus a t shirt.

Skunky VA....smells like floral road kill or fruity skunks...Long time to go but she loves the double bubble. I might have to make another one.

3Thirteen Seeds Citrus Milf....she is in a 1.5 gallon coco pot (the big cheap green nursery pot).

And 3Thirteen Purple Primate #2...this one really smells lemony. She LOVES the 3 gallon hempy coco pot. These are a limited edition freebie. I will smoke report in about 6 weeks.

Great Lakes Genetics....Schwaggy Skunky VA....man does this smell good. A wonderful fruity aroma that is not skunky yet. Day 56

Esosseds.com Orangeberry Smoothie (OBSM) Chopped at day 72. Wonderful Orange aroma and a great 60/40 to 70/30 sativa smoke
Thanks Eso !!! the testers were so good i bought 2 packs!!

Great Lakes Genetics all over. The left colas are Schwaggy Skunky VA. and to the right a 3Thirteen Seeds Citrus Milf. 2 plants taking up 16 square feet.

Wall to wall greatness...i can not ask for better.

A few things going on in bloom. In 2 weeks more than half the bloom room is harvested and i can move the veggers into the spaces.

Esosseeds Black Grape DumDum...6 gallons of coco in a flood and drain. I have never tried a pot that big but i will give it a go. She was just put in bloom 2 days ago

Heisenbeans Wedding Dub (Wedding Cake X A-Dub) She is smelling great (5G coco pot). Day 28


3Thirteen Seeds beautiful Citrus Milf...Week 8 in 2 days and she is close to getting a flush.
