CJ is repotted .... got decent size black pot to spread her roots in for a while, she will go into one of the 11ltr pots later ...but toying with the idea of something larger

slight move around to house the fifth pot, but its all good and they are all getting a fair share and are sat at a fairly even height

weed is still sticky and wet

hhhmmmmm Question for ya ..... what could have sheered of one blade from a 5" pc fan

the one i use for my intake was making a funny noise this morning on inspection it is missing a blade??... do they normally break of and dissappear for absolutly no good reason? ... or coulkd there be a mouse somewhere in my shed with a third ear?

LoL!
Fuk knows mate, but sounds ghostly haha

I got one blade missing too. Coincidentally, also on my intake. But that was down to my own clumsyness.
I have no idea how one could break off by itself...

something must have gone in there .... but there is nothing there?... i've not jammed nowt in there either... and it couldnt have fouled on the cab because there is nothing within range

well what ever it was i hope its learn its lesson :-)

On a positive note cab temps are holding nice after weeks of up and down .... just watered the CJ and other two GOM's.....

on a personal note ... I'm Bored..... Bored of Green O'matics ... and i aint even smoked it yet...lol, ... what i mean is, once round 1 is harvested and the cured smoke is documented i dont think i'll cover the other GOM's much as ... unless something weird happens .... think i'll start a new thread just for the critical jack

Sounds like a good idea mate. I'm kinda bored of my flowers too... And knowing that I've got even longer left to wait than I had thought, makes it even worse!

I'm also considering closing my other threads and starting one new one, once this lot has flowered.
My current thread can be all about the cab build ;)

Can't help with your fan... I also think that something must have gone in there. The only other consideration is the cold, but if the fans have been spinning constantly, that shouldn't even come into it.
A fly wouldn't have done it, but your suggestion of a mouse would be more along the lines of the mass required to break a blade. But surely there would be signs of such a inflicted injury, blood, hair etc...

pistils usually show up in around the middle nodes, not top ones so your plant is just doing it's thing ;). I found my first pistils about 3-4 nodes from the top.

good news..... the heater is back and fixed, it had 2 problems ... the mains lead had cut through against the metal case and shorted the fuse .... but had also blown a thread on the printed board (which has been bridged now) .... really really pleased

i'm now going to fit it in the grow box and get it running .............OH FUCK .... I wonder if i i can fit it in ..........LMAO!

much moving around and its finally fitted! ... won't upload a pic .. because i can't be arsed, however i fitted it and fired it up set the temp to 19c (68f) and then left the cabinet open untill it dropped below that .... i then closed the doors to and waited for the temp inside the cab to reach 68f ...as it approached 68f the led light started to flash and then the unit switched off... WONDERFUL :-)

oh and the heating element does not emit any light (was worried about that) ... and i have now stuck a little square of foil tape over the only LED on the unit ... so it wont light up during darkness when the heater switches on

will leave it now and see how it performs tomorrow during lights out, hopefully i'll be able to extend the darkness to 4 hours a day now!!!! :-) :-)

went out early and it was working away like a good en..... so i'm well chuffed ... the big question is how it holds up against the hour off period if i can acheve mid 60's for the whole hour then 4 hours is a go'er and even 12/12 next run as i can veg one as i do these last auto's :-) :-) (won't count my chickens too early but this is my plan if all goes well)

I bet you are LoL

Think I'd go for something a little more potent than those two (each to their own and all that), but I've not seen actual skunk growing before so I'm pre-subbed hehehe advance tickets please :)

PMSL Pre-Subbed .... i like the taste more then i like coma to be honest ... thats the one thing i've been dreading with these GOM's to be honest i like a nice after taste with dry mouth something a little acrid... however Greenhouse seeds say they should be spicy smelling and tasting ... i'm getting lawn/grapfruit while its drying ... with hardly any real skunky pong or fuel smell to speak of

still no change with the trichs on plants 1 & 2 ... seems to be running on forever and ever, so glad i upped the pot size with the other seedlings and didn't leave it any longer......cab is settled at 23c (73f).... little heater is programed to maintain 19c (68f) ... so i will check in while and see how it all goes when lights go out, it has been dropping as low as 9c (48f) ... hopefully i've sorted it
IMG_9629.JPG all five ...lol ... 3 seedlings Critical Jack upfront looking strong .. if not a little smaller (for now :-) )
IMG_9630.JPG the new heater, raised it above spill height and shouldnt scorch the girls as its a vivarium heater its not like a jet exhaust

IMG_9628.JPG the new Critical Jack Auto!!!! (my next subject)

i think you can make out that most of the lower fan leaves on the mature plants have finally gone yellow and come off... i just touch them with a little downwards pressure if they are ready they just drop .. sometimes they dont so i leave them and they come off a couple of days later. not fussed i know from following other GOM grows that they look awful at the end ... so i got a couple of ugly bitches .... thats cool i'd rather that then pay for somebody elses hahaha

after an hour of dark 67.5f .....PERFECT! within a degree ....... i'm so happy i could shit! ........ now i'm really excited, feel like throwing the other auto's away and start Photoperiods right now! .... of course i wont as they've been going a few weeks and cost money, but you have no idea how much i wanna start something PUKKA!

i will look round for a scrog type screen real soon, for when the GOM's and Critical Jack finish.... by then i'll know what i'm germing (i change my mind every time i think about it lol )
