Yields and cabinets

Cheers Olive. I don't mean I'm doing badly. Just pointing out that little fck up. And saying thanks to those that have helped me go from a no grows, pot killer to a bonsai sized grower.

I was trying to get rid of these little flies in my grow space. Couldn't find diatomaceous earth or any other natural fix locally. So I added a thick layer of this stuff to the top soil. With the hopes they'd go away without access to the soil. It cut numbers. But I still saw them on occasion.

Regular beach sand would work. I would make the hell out of it then put a thick layer on

Hey @Dan can grow. What size and how heavy are those heatsinks you bought?

They are 133mm across 10 mm base and weigh 600 grams

600g each? Just trying to work out how heavy everything will be all up. So I know what tent I'll need.

Yes 600 each. They are way bigger than what's needed! I bet the 100mm size would be enough for heat dissipation but lighter in weight. I figure my fixture isn't any heavier than a 1000 watt hid hood. My carbon filter is about the same weight as my light.

Well I'll only be going with a 4 cob setup. So hopefully that's lighter than 4kg all up. Not including the extractor and filter.

I still don't know the weight limit of the harvemax tent.

I don't know that brand of tent but from what I have seen there are only two thicknesses of pole in all tents, 18mm and 22mm I think.
The 18mm ones, which are most common are good for 25kg.

I think with that tent you'll be ok with the light and fan filter.

I messaged the guy about it. And he said they've now got 22mm poles. So that's good.

Noticed some buds forming up the sides of the branches. Decided to draw them out to boost harvest.

And this is why I need a bigger cabinet. I LSTd it. And now it's too wide. This is a month and a half into the flip.

1month and 3weeks into flower. Still no smell. But boy is there some buddage coming along. There's a decent amount on this one.

I'm going to harvest the majority (when ready). But leave a handful of buds to run right through. With the hopes that she'll self pollinate and leave me with some seeds for another run.

I like this one for its stocky form.

Hey bud! It's been a while since I popped in so I thought I would do just that. Your newest lady is just going to town man! Looking absolutely killer. Hey. I was just catching up on your thread here and I'm not sure how invested you are into building your own light yet but I wanted to tip you about timber grow lights. Basically they sell ready to go cob fixtures damn near at cost. The only thing is, you don't get a pretty, polished housing but I'm pretty sure sure they ship whereever. You should check em out.

Also, bummer on the males but you should keep that sativa, imo. I would. (Don't mind me. Living vicariously through other people is a hobby of mine) Do you have any seeds that you know are the same strain? I'd like to see you do a breeding project. You are king at photo updates so if anything else it could be an exciting grow to follow. But hey. I'm outta here. Keep it up man.

Don't know about being king of anything. I definitely do spam on the photos though.

I am most definitely looking into building my next light. The prebuilt options are usually higher price for the wattage they offer.

Looking at a 3500-4000k Vero18-29 kit at about 200w. That's not for this current grow cab. That'll be going in a bigger setup.

I'm probably going to keep this little box as my starter box. Then move plants to the larger area when they've outgrown that one. Ready for either more veg time. Or going straight to flower.

April Update. 2 months in to flower.

I'll post more when she bulks up a bit more.

Also I'm getting a better lense for my phone. 60-90x magnification.

For anyone interested in my outdoor plants. Here's a couple shots of two I was told were males. Fairly well into budding.
I was going to top them to 8 heads. Until a mate said they were males. Guess he's used to Indica gens. Or he's still learning too.

Still going to get a buttload more smoke this round. Got three ladies to pick from.

Starting to realize I need a wider grow space. Good thing I'm just upgrading my light now.

Put down for a 64v to 107v driver with 1.4a output. Looked at a single brightest 3500k Vero29. And paired with a big chunk of aluminium.

Got a response back that particular driver is discontinued. And would I like to upgrade to a 200w, 1400mA LSD driver.
I'll take it. But, I'll have to add a second cob to get it to run.

Also. Look at those stems and that buddage. She's starting to fill out a bit now. This is 2 months in by the way. So still a little while yet. Those hairs are still too white for my liking.

Looks like a while left yet but as you say they are filling out to make some nice long colas, soon to be long and fat! Nice man!! Nice.
