Scrogging is fun. Blue dream from seed. Cheers.

Those look like insane stuff! Wish I could smoke a bowl of that with you. I'm sure it would make for good times =)

How are the Hempys coming along?

nice setup. i want to try stinks method also. looks like explosive growth. how is the custom seal you made for the top of the tote working out? also what brand of adhesive was that? how high do those sprayers spray (to the top of the tote no problem)? thanks for any help you can give me.

peroxyacetic acid is another good res cleaner for fighting root rot. you
make it yourself by mixing 5% vinegar and 3% hydrogen peroxide. it exists
in equilibrium, so you will still have peroxide working while the peroxyacetic
acid is working. peroxyacetic acid has a much broader use as an antimicrobial
than hydrogen peroxide itself, and is so effective it is even registered for
use in sterilizing medical supplies and food processing equipment.

from the peroxyacetic acid wiki-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peracetic_acid

It forms upon treatment of acetic acid with hydrogen peroxide, with the equilibrium constant dependent on the concentrations and conditions of reaction:[2]

H2O2 + CH3CO2H

CH3CO3H + H2O
The United States Environmental Protection Agency first registered peracetic acid as an antimicrobial in 1985 for indoor use on hard surfaces. Use sites include agricultural premises, food establishments, medical facilities, and home bathrooms. Peracetic acid is also registered for use in dairy/cheese processing plants, on food processing equipment, and in pasteurizers in breweries, wineries, and beverage plants.[5] It is also applied for the disinfection of medical supplies, to prevent bio film formation in pulp industries, and as a water purifier and disinfectant. Peracetic acid can be used as a cooling tower water disinfect, where it prevents bio film formation and effectively controls Legionella bacteria. A trade name for peracetic acid as an antimicrobial is Nu-Cidex

They are moving along. I don't think they have quite hit the rez yet. Maybe this week.

This isn't Stinks method, this was made up using several different methods found on this website and throughout the internet. The sprayers go up and out of the totes if the lid is off. The first few runs I did I had problems with leaks. The adhesive, I have no idea off the top of my head. Just look for something that can get wet and doesn't look like it'll kill you.

That's interesting. Never heard of putting vinegar into the res before. Sounds like it would work well for root aphids.

Thanks Mo! I am very happy with this batch. Yield is smaller but then again the quality is about double to triple. So I say it is a win.

Checked the trichs last night and we are getting really close!!!!!!!! Could be another week but hoping for Thursday Night Football and trimming.

Update on the Veg room. Everything is coming along nicely. Still waiting on the hempy buckets to explode, they do seem to be doing better though. Will check tonight maybe they are ready to be watered.

And the Macros and Super Macros: Still Day 69

Id say your right man another week Doesn't look like a whole bunch of amber is in there...But I aint got no microscope zoom only goes so far

I just wanna walk up and lick the shit out of your plants!

I just wanted to show you that with those hi-res pictures you can zoom in with PhotoShop and use contrast and brightness to make those beautiful pictures even more amazing!

The Day has finally come. They could probably go until Friday which would put them right at 80 days but I have shit going on and they look ready to me.

Does anybody advise against harvesting?

Looks perfect to me!

Little over a 3rd of the harvest is done. Will try to finish tonight. Pics at the end of harvest. Any guesses as to final weight? I figure around 10 - 12 Oz.

The veg room is ready to flip so as soon as harvest is over and the flower gets a good cleaning we will be right back at it. This time they will get the 1 week recovery from transfer. I may have to double screen depending on how much of the screen they already take up.

Harvest pictures!!!!!!

So I let them go 77 and 78 days. I found some bug damage in the back but nothing to brutal looks like I got lucky. Another 3 weeks and probably would have lost half of everything. So that is the bad news. The good news... Everything looks top quality. Best I have ever done for sure.

It is hard for me to describe the smell because I was pretty baked the whole time. But there is almost 0 skunk smell more hashy and peppery. Will have a better review once it is dried and cured. Smoked some of the scissor hash and man was that tasty! Well it wasn't really scissor hash but I did kind of a charas technique with all the trimming gloves. Not a huge amount but it bubbles nicely, not full melt but got a pretty good idea of what the taste will be like. As for the stone I can't really say since we were smoking and drinking the whole time.

Here are the pics from the first night of trimming:
