thanks for all the kind words guys. i apologize for not responding to every specifially but just spent a week in havasu enjoying a much needed vacation. but glad to report everything looks great when i got home. had my dad swing by twice and one day the room hit 101 cuz the c02 generator was stuck on burning. this is the second time ive had this issue and the ppm reader displays; "HI PPM" so i gotta figure wats wrong with that shit.
anyways the veg table with the OG BUBBA KUSH cuttings took the fuck off and already hit 12" tall for most but looks like mass stretch to me. could be the strain but my 1000w MH is 24" away from the canopy and shouldnt create the stretch i think im seeing but again i think its the strain. not sure i mentioned before but i had converted the veg table that was previously a drip to waist table using 2 stake drip emittiers for each 6" RW cube. the PSI was giving me issues and i lost about 10 cuttings from lack of even watering so i gave up on it for the veg table. plus the drippers were setup to feed a max of 42 cubes. now im only limited to the dimensions of the table using Ebb n' Flow. this way i know for sure each single cube gets completely evenly watered and i could fit more cuttings if needed.
the new dual ducting 13,000 btu portable AC/ 120 pint dehumidifer i picked up for $400 is working pretty good. minimal to no air exchange within the room (even tho its a veg room only with no c02 or real odor) the efficiency of the dual ducting on the portable units is def where its at. way cooler air coming out then the old unit. yes its 3,000 btu more but makes a diff when blowing on ur beautiful ladies.
anyways on to the good shit;
im gettin shit prepared for tomorrow morning. i had my dad pull the water pump timer so the bitches went thirsty all day today and i will pull the plug on the lights so they dont come on tonight at midnight. this will give almost a whole 24 hour dark period before their harvested. i read sumwhere the myth is they develope more during this time and by not watering a day or two before harvest will speed the drying process and push the plant to use every last nute drop in its leafs. so hope it works out and this 10 day flush using Final Phase w/ Bud candy for 4 days then Final Phase with Overdrive for the last 6 days. PPMs @ 300 then down to 240 with PH @ 5.7
i was kinda sweatin all week that id come home to dried up nugs or sum other diaster. i hate leaving them alone but thats the advantage of having an automated hydro system. the nugs look great and swollen. a quick glance with the lights off but using my scope LED light to check the trichs and pistil hair; 50/50% white to brown pistil hairs and i wasnt seeing too many amber trichs but honeslty im beat as is from the drive and didnt look too close. ill check more in depth later when i do my last harvest shoot and get u guys a legit update. ill be taking several notes on things and will upload the prehavrest pix, harvets in action, and post harvest pix. ill give details on root zone, trimming time, appearance, trich colors, aroma, oh and maybe the weight. hehe.
gotta get shit prepped for the next flower round, clean the entire room and tables and get the new Cali Connection strains popped and vegging to roll sum mothers out.
New strains in the next rounds to be enjoyed;
OG BUBBA KUSH (next)
SFV OG KUSH (next?) san fernando valley ocean grown kush
MASTER BUBBA KUSH (future round if the mother can produce)
CORLEONE KUSH (need to germinate and choose phenotype then mother out)
ALIEN OG KUSH (same as above)
DEADHEAD (same as above)
The cali connect gear will most likely been grown and mothered out in the warehouse setup since timeframe seems to work out best by the time i have the mothers ready the warehouse will be prepped and ready.
i also met the owner of a local nute company "HEAVY 16" at greencoast last week and got his info. his farm is local and gonna do sum discussions with the and might be running their new Veg and Bloom Macro nute lineup as testrun. still have a lot of research to do before i decide wat all i want to use.
