What did you accomplish today?

Opened the box and these are 50w combined not each. It’ll do for now until I choose a mother and throw the other clones out to flower, which will open up some spaces under the cobs. These boards cover about 3x2


Clones looking a lot better under cobs. I’m loving how fast these seedlings are growing.

S'up, dudes and dudettes. While fully intending to relax over the holiday weekend, I instead felt restless and compelled to get ahead of some plant shit before the weekend gigs (holiday parties) and next harvest (supposedly on 12/5). I cut the shit out of my HUGE moms because I had no choice, they were almost hitting the top of their tent. Filled two aero cloners, even though I'll probably end up culling a bunch of clones. Better to have too many than too few.




I then trimmed my second tray of sog plants and staked them. These ladies get so plump near the end that they often fall over even when staked.




I also emptied and changed all four reservoirs.




This is the tray that's coming down this weekend. Since this tray was stunted (my experiment with pure vermiculite), it should be less yield, thus less work, than usual.



I also finished all my shopping, all of it was online, and most of the gifts are being wrapped and sent directly to their recipients. Black Friday and Cyber Monday rule. Fuck leaving the house, those holiday shoppers are crazy. All this and I still found plenty of time to catch up on shows and take many naps in the lazy boy. I can do it ALL...

I'm going back to organic soil because I'm lazy.

Yeah I’m still in promix. Never attempted organic soil. I’m sure I’ll give it a go someday when I get bored.

Yeah bugs are no fun.
Lately I'm having good luck with a thick layer of mulch to keep them under control.
Plus I'm in veg so there are lots of options.

Gotta make sure there are ZERO signs of spider mites in my grow space before I flip em to 12/12.

Lollypopping also helps control bugs -- and hermies, much to my surprise.

-- edit -- (again)
Sometimes bugs are attracted to organic soil that has not been fully cooked.
It's gotta smell like dirt -- not garbage or amonia.

Uncooked soil also causes PH swings. Mature plants can handle it but young plants could be stunted.

Refilled the beer shelf. Checked on the grow room and for some reason my CMH light was still on, checked the timer and it was set correctly so I guess I had it set manually to on. I'll check at 7 to make sure it comes back on now. Temp is down to 73 now, but I'll have to check in the morning when all the lights are on. Time for some tincture and some suds and possibly a joint of Napali Pink in awhile.

Yeah. I'll be using nematodes once a month on everything from now on even if I don't t see bugs. They were a strong part of my arsenal this season. Barely saw just one grub and a few stray fire ants after 2 months of using them. No more mole crickets or root aphids too. Green lacewings larvae and ladybugs handled what was left of the spider mites after the neem/spinosad treatment . Indoors green lacewing larvae seem more feasible for obvious reasons.

Thanks mate. I’m shattered there building a house next door to me. Ive only grown outdoors for years. I was keen to show my skills. Indoors will have to do, keep on grinding.

Yeah I got new neighbors on one side this year. They don't say much. But they know what's up. I let the chick borrow a drill when she first came, before the guy moved in. Maybe I misinterpreted the type of drill she needed? Lol

But I don't have to water every day, which is nice.

Or mix nutes.
Or check PH...

I check pH once per res, (mix lg reservoirs). I don't water every day either and when I do there are pumps for that.

I have to water every single day and I’m in soil. I’ve never had plants so thirsty.
I’m in 13 gal pots too

I don't think it's a rule violation to use pumps for soil, is it?

I just did that a few days ago! I finally gave in, then i flooded the tent lol

I haven’t eaten meat or dairy for 3 weeks or something like that. I’ve actually found I don’t mind it. I’ve had a few withdrawals moments.
I’m not going vegan, I ain’t giving up honey for anyone. I’ll still eat fish if I crave meat.
I’ve enjoyed the challenge cooking wise too.
