not up on ec as you know its not applicable to me, so .75 is high or about right?

.75 is fine but normal food in such a small dose would normally only bring ec to 0.50 so the bloombastic is very strong, its weird like a green paste and smells like medicine i remember from a child lol

Just rolled a jay and am off to see what kinda adventure billbo baggins gets up to so later young hobbits!!

Youll want some air movement at some stage..
when I had low temps I had the fan coming on later and going off before the lights came on...

this time of year is great for getting new mothers and taking clones and continued vegging, then spring time your ready to flower ..!

never left the house today just getting the last wall ready for plastering before christmas, delighted to be finally finished with it, i reckon the passive air flow will do jay, i ended up closeing the room door over leaveing a gap for "warm" air to move as the rest of the air is so cold...

i`m only hitting node 4 with the light a good 3 ft above them, so no fear of burning or that, abd by testing by hand its not even slightly warm at canopy level...

wish they`d hurry up and sex so i can get on with trimming all lower growth just leaveing tops..

cracking christmas film, and have to say its one of my favorite christmas songs, reminds me of the film.....

Iv never seen this before ...... wont be able to sa that in about again in about 2hours

 

[Jay_normous]

What's temps you getting AE..? What's temps are considered too low for growing..? I forget and I've loaned the two books I have out..

 

[ae86 grower]

couldn`t tell you jay, but its cold, not quite as cold as outside but not far off...

and i don`t know the cut off temp for growing either, but with the growth rate i`m seeing now its not far off that limit, mm a day instead of inch`s, i`ll leave a blanket across the top of the box for now to help, and i hope to god it does, i`ve a gap comeing up between this run and the next grow, hence the no veg now...

so kinda depending on it to get us through the little spell where the rooms down....

 

[stonerpaddy]

10c or 50f lads. Any idea on how long you'll be down grow wise ae

 

[ae86 grower]

could be as little as a week or as long as a month, thats from when these finist to popping seeds so hopefully its a week, its already killing me i have no veg going but has to be that way, few mods for the shed....


bricking up the window, cutting hole in roof and fitting a cowel with chimney from an old oil burner that i salvaged, this just needs a fan placed at the bttom to vent the air, have enough pipe to get a foot over the roof and a full cowel so will just look like theres a burner in there, with the window blocked i can then fit the rooms out properly as theres no light leaks from the door, going to plumb a rad in there so it can run off the central heating also fitting a back burner to the stove so it can run all day if needed, or be switched off accordingly....

comeing back then will take forever as the plan to scrog a big net or cylinder or however it plays out will take a few months at least to be back right...

 

[stonerpaddy]

Yea but lad you'll be a lot better setup growing wise. It'll all pay off in the long run...

 

[ae86 grower]

true pad, and its not like these things don`t need takeing care of, lucky with all the breakdowns lately, i`m earning so i can do it now before the work dry`s up again..

the yeild (if they work out) from the hempy should carry me over so everything should be ok as long as it goes to plan this time..

 

[stonerpaddy]

Think the cold held mine back some bit. Serious purpling of leaves. Still should pull an oz of them so will keep me stocked up with a steady little supply of plants built up. Say I'll be chopping something every 6 - 8 weeks...

 

[ae86 grower]

well if get this shit sorted, and this grow works out then i`ll be returning to small hempy grows..

with the idea to "conveyor belt" it, as in have my mothers going takeing clones every two weeks and once rooted into the flower room so once they reach the end of the "belt" as in finish flower a new lot go in at the other end of the room and the whole lot moves up a bit, now if i can do 4 in a row deep and however long i need to be as in 8 to 10 long then i should have a steady stream and be able to take a bad mother or a wrecked veg due to any reason... and pull whatever i can best avaerage from small hempys, but say the avaerage is 10 to 15 gram a clone thats 40 to 60 grams every two or so weeks again if it all goes to plan...

when has that ever happened so far.....

 

[bubbles6302]

got the DWC up and running got 5 durban poison down they are flying along might start them flowering next week if the growth rate keeps up . and i have ten big bang headin up to my other partner for him to flower them in soil . I cant find the lead to my phone to upload the pics so as soon as i do il get them up .

How r u doin 2nite 86?

 

[ae86 grower]

not too bad bubbles, yourself? just plotting and planning the new setup, and the best use of the space, but still keeping it small and private....

happy enough with the veg bulbs but with the room i have i think i can swing a 400w in there too, even if it wasn`t on 12/12 or whatever but a few hours in the middle of each time schedule to mimic the brighter sun at noon etc... and save on the leccey, as the electric cooker is going bye bye soon i have the little bit extra to play with on the bill without drawing attention....

 

[ae86 grower]

and despite my best efforts this weed is still very spongey, its drry but not all the way through if you get me, yet not wet in the middle... been cureing for few days and thats not even helping, and it was hung in the hotpress for 8 days so was touch dry then into brown paper bags with vent holes for week then jars and still spongey...

so kinda depending on it to get us through the little spell where the rooms down....

you really should get a thermometer.. Least you'll know what sort of temps your dealing with as the cold will kill your yeild... I know I keep going on about it but I've been there...

well if get this shit sorted, and this grow works out then i`ll be returning to small hempy grows..

when has that ever happened so far.....

was going to do a perpetual grow myself, easy to do and a constant stream of stock but the number of plants involved put me off and that's why I'm turning to a 2 plant, 2 strain scrog.

 

[bubbles6302]

Nice i made sure my place had a gas cooker when we got here

I just have 2 t55 bulb in der at the moment veggin my little ladies Im thinking of switching over to a 250w MH with my mantis shade because the smalls 1's are growing great they might grow even better with the 250w .

I have the lemon skunk which is looking mega its just goin on 5 weeks flower now so wont be long more cut down my other 3 ladies 1 chees which yield terrible mayb about an OZ but the nugs are solid just wish i had more of them . The BLZ bud yielded ok aswel mayb 2 off of it . But the ultimate from dutch passion finished up really well got nearly 3off of her . But im not happy with dutch passion im very sure the hermie i got was from them again . My friend done a ten pack of blueberry from dutch passion and only 9 germinated and only 1 was a true female i dont think they have their genetics in order at all.
Oya any expierence with either dutch passion or green house seeds ?
I normally stick with DNA but this time i kinda rushed thinged and settled for dutch passion and greenhouse seeds dont think i will be making that mistake again.

agree with you on the thermo, and i`ve been getting away with murder that way, but this bout of cold has kicked that into check..

and yes the number of plants is a worry jay, but i think that the practice and method once explained would give youthat bit of lea way should a fella be unfortunatly collared by the boys in blue, not that i`m depending on that with my history with them, but that aside i think its the best option for me, easy to run in a new strain, run multi strains etc...

 

[kang420]

Dont think ill go to the cinema again unless i own a portable vape! about 10 times i wanted to smoke a joint so bad when watching the hobbit! wizards smoking weed in a big pipe and smoke coming out there ears made me wanna get very high lol good film just not the same solid crew as LOTR but now they introduced everyone maybe film 2 will be alot better

Its looks a great way of growing with great results, the 2 litre bottle method would be great for my situation but would be able to leave the grow for more than 2 days or even a day in the height of summer..
I will play with Hempy at some stage but at the moment i need to fill some empty jars quick..!

Haven't been to the flicks in years, really must get baked and go see something soon...
