My Growitup Greenhouse Grow 2010

[monkeybones]

Thanks guys,
Poundage eh? Yea, I suppose so. I have always been more interested in quality then quantity but I guess if things turn out right I will get both. Good thing I am a member of a few co ops, This will be way to much for me and my patients.

The girls took to there new home instantly. The soil Ph is a little under 7.0
I watered them with the filtered water yesterday. This morning they all were reaching for the sky. I used seabird guano instead of bat guano in the mix because it has more nitrogen in it. 10.10.03 I figure by the time they get to bloom I will be adding nutes anyway and the extra nitrogen will keep them green all through the grow. Well, thats the plan anyway. We will see.

Oh yea, I was able to adjust that float valve on the res today so next is to run the PVC. I am thinking two 1 gallon drippers per plant. One on top and the second will drip down through a small length of pvc to the root zone.

Very, very clever idea All of this is being stolen and documented for future use I hope you are aware.

Very clever, as always! Hoping you're still going to be posting pics too? I can't download the videos, with my connection speed.

I will remember that, when I post videos I will post a couple pics from the vids too.

No problem man, I get lots of ideas off this site. Glad to give a little back.

So I come out here this morning and I found I have a leak.
The float valve I thought I fixed didnt work.

I guess its a good thing cause I was able to see where water will go if I have a leak and it looks like electrical will be fine. Now I gotta find a float vale that dont leak.



Heres a few pics of the girls now they have been transplanted.

and my chair,

​

Close ups

This is my choice, I moved my blueberry I was going to make a mom out of out here.
Shes been topped once and is about two months old.

I take still pics much better then a video anyway.

Looking graet as always Cruzer. Those girls should get huge over the next few months. Cant even imagine how full that room is going to get. Keep up the good work.

 

[PANGcake]

You pulled up a chair for me, how thoughtfull Looking guuud cruz! Btw I have to ask u bout something. I dont care but I just have to ask: You noticed it's PANGcake not PANcake?

I'm way up in the blue smoking some Northern Light popcorn taken at 75 days 12/12...plant has another week to go (85 days total)! Can't wait to harvest those 13 colas...yes it has 13 colas, I'm not the guy to tell lies. I predicted a harvest around 6,5-7,5 oz offa this plant but I amped it up to a probable 8-9 oz...anyways that's what I'm shooting for...LOL! Plant was vegged for 5 weeks only and 400W HPS for flower, no Co2...I even had to have it under a 200W CFL for 10days. This is big but I can't wait to see how much ur outdoor venue gonna yield In bout a week I'll have harvest pics to back up my post!

Here she is at 35 days 12/12 and you can see the colas forming, not "tops". Not gonna fill ur journal w my crap, just this 1 to back my sh*t up. Topped and super cropped!

You gonna do any topping on ya babies?

Sun is shining on ya!

Looking great, cruzer! I have a feeling those things are gonna get HUGE! No fair though - your Blueberry girl has an edge on the rest of us, she's older! lol

 

[Hulk Nugs]

Plants are looking great Cruzer loving the updates.

Just need a mini fridge next to your chair and your set.

 

[monkeybones]

Looks like you've got a firm hand on everything. OG Kush is looking ready to explode, beautiful hue of green. God Bud looks happy to be in a bigger pot. Mazar Sharif is going to be great to watch.



Keep the updates comin. =]

Yea its gonna be tight. I'm going to get some kind of a net/screen I can roll out over them once the tall colas hit the roof. I figure I can mount it like rolled up on the back wall and pull it out over them. haven't quite figured that one out yet.

Never doubted ya man. Sorry about the pan thing, What can I say, I'm just a stoner.
I do plan on topping and training them. Im going to remove the lower branches on the plants on the right to get some height, well except the blueberry. I will be taking cuts off her for my next cab grow the let her go. The two blue dreams Im gonna prune for height and train them across the room towards each other, the rest I'll top.

Don't play cards with me.

I agree, ya know the blue cheese is looking real good too. A little lighter shade of green but looks more like it came from seed. That pic didnt do her justice.

lets smoke it

Fire it up bro!
Is that the Hawaiian?

 

[BooMeR242]

things lookin good cruz. not excited to see that the float valve on the waterfarm rez didnt work too well lol. i said fuk mine and converted my waterfarm setup again. hopefully it works a lil better for me this round.

 

[cruzer101]

Ha!
I have used my Water farm 8 pack so many different ways its not funny.
Thing is, I can still use it as it was intended if I wanted to.

As you know, Thats Hydro for ya. always fine tuning.

BTW, I got a new float valve that can handle the pressure. $20 at my local hydro shop.

...ya know the blue cheese is looking real good too. A little lighter shade of green but looks more like it came from seed. That pic didnt do her justice.

Now that I pay particular attention to her in your previous posts you are right. She really is doing good. I'm glad you got that reservoir system all figured out. It is going to be exciting to watch these girls take off.

 

[cruzer101]

We got power!
My bud has helped me quite a bit on this project. hes is not exactly an electrican but he got power out there.
Only one problem and I was hoping someone may know the answer...

Ok, One circut is fine. The second circut that goes through the switch has a problem.
When its hot and the switch is in the off position we got current, when we turn the switch on it blows a breaker.

This is an example of the curcut,

Right now we couldnt get the switch to work so we bypassed it but it would be cool to have it work.

Hey Cruzer, your greenhouse looks great and glad that you got power out to it. Sorry that your having problems with the switch. As best as I know the wiring should be similar to this. If the wiring is good then the switch may be bad and grounding itself out. Hope you get it fixed.

Got a main with two 20 amp breakers, One circuit goes to the switch and overhead socket for a green light bulb. That line continues and drops down on the far wall to 4 outlets.
The light and one set of outlets will work off the switch and the second set will be constant.
The second circuit will be constant power to the lower plug, and outside plug for the water shed (yet to be built) then run down the back wall to the far corner of the far wall.

A few things could be wrong... You could have a short in your wall switch. Or you might have wired the switch in parallel instead of in series. The parallel way will send current through your circuit even when the switch is off, but then when you switch the switch on you drop the load and have a dead short to ground which caused the current to go up and the breaker to trip.

I hope this helps

that sounds like it could be the problem..

Right on guys, I told my bud I would ask you guys and find out.
I got both drawings and will show them to him tomorrow. Hes helping me sand and put another coat of stain on patio cover.

I got the new float valve installed, works great. made by hydro logic, go figure. Then finished the small vent box and some trim.
Girls are doing great. haven't watered them since transplant but we have had mild weather. PVC is measured and cut for the watering system, now I need to install all those 1/4 in valves and drill a couple holes.

 

[cruzer101]

OK Thanks guys, we changed the wiring on the switch and it works, but now the switch controls the light and both outlets on the back end. We got 4 wires in the conduit, we were thinking one extra hot. So we tried connecting the second hot (red wire) from the breaker to the second outlet and pop!

So maybe you guys can tell me how to do this, I need one a constant hot. Is it possible to share the same common wire?
