What a morning ...

Lost all power to the building around 1am and I awoke thise morning to the area in complete darkness :shock:, about 6 hours in the dark, no recirculating air .. ugh. Took all the babes out one by one and off to the window they went

** Note to self - Edit pic here **

Went to Tims to grab a coffee and came back to power, thankfully. Going to be a bit of `indoor garden` day as it`s so shit out, lots to do, will make sure to keep it updated in here. Transplanting the Twins today (ladies are drinking about 1-1.5L every 2-3 days right now), and already did another round of ties on Leader so will post that as well. See you all in a bit,

KC :weed:
Damn dude that sucks! Glad everything turned out alright. Keep those pics coming!

Hey RIU, been slackin`the last little bit with you all, got a lot happening with a little Collective I`m working on, stuff getting dropped off all the time, madness. But it`s all for a good cause ;).

Anyways, here`s a few shots of how everything is set-up as of now, tent is 4x4x6.5 and is a force in my room, haha. Going to be plenty spacious though for the additional 3 BuKu`s I`ll start and a few other choice varieties in the near future. Here we are:

Also put through an order today for a 400w MH/HPS switchable light kit instead of moving gear around from different spots, this morning, will be going in for our 18/6 pretty shortly afterwards :). My order for my Root Bags, remaining nutrients I`ve exhausted, and 2 new strain varieties will also come in a few days as I`m away. Roomate will just chuckle, haha. Anyways, appreciate the love from you all, thanks for following along, things are heaating up now, stay tuned for regular updates GreenThumbs !!

Here`s a few shots of the disaster morning and emergency procedures (to make those of you lucky enough, grateful of your lovely climates ;)):

Keep it green, top tokin`,

Hey all, thought I`d also post some of the work I just finished (been a long, but rewarding day) with the Twins. Both with serious roots formed, major bound, just the way I like em`. And you all know how much I love my root shots so I threw a couple in there too. Will likely do another update tomorrow night to see a response in the nute adjustment they got today before I head to Vancouver until Saturday night. Going to be some major advancements when I`m back!!

Here`s the stuff you`re all after ;),

Root Shots of Mohican and Mrs. Orange respectively (Love it!!)

... All watered up, in the new tent, keeping a constant temperature of 72F. Happy farmer :mrgreen:

Few shots of the fan blowing fresh intake, shot if fan for intake (yet to be unpacked/installed), and finally a mess of wiring for now to make sure everything`s running up to spec (Note passive exhaust out top, working ace)

Little post-transplant misting to smooth the transition

Going to be an awesome week, will make sure to update as soon as I land Saturday and get a chance to get back in the garden for some more work (get the MH up, fans installed, etc. etc.). Look forward to hearing from you guys, keep representing, keep it green,

Hey KC,
Nice setup you've got going man, I have seen a bunch of those light fixtures around, I am just wondering why people use them instead of MH/HPS hid lights? My guess would be they either generate less heat( seeing that you have nowhere near the ventilation I expected when I read 400W and no visible heat issues ) or cost less.... If so, where could one purchase a set?:joint:
Your plants look fantastic bro those root shots are crazy for their size!

Sucks about the climate man thank god i live in CA :). Setup is looking great man. I got a question about transplanting. I see you transplant from smaller to slightly bigger until you reach your final pot size. What are your experiences with this vs going from party cup to 5 gallon pot?

Hey Cali, I`be had those reflectors for like 5 years, use can`t recall size exactly although look like 12-15inch I guess bongsmilie. Use them for Seedling and beginning of veg only, nice slow, dense growth and yes, much less heat. Allows me to not have fans other than osc. running until the MH goes in (dehumidifier, fan, filter, etc.). Got mine at Home De Pot, about $15.00 each I think, added the 42w CFL`s, replace em`every third year :)

** EDIT - The whole Seedling-PreVeg light system there will run you around $60.00 CAD complete, just add power bar **

Appreciate it Caddy, they seem like the easy-to-please type thankfully (why I love anything with OG18 typically, familiarity). I notice a lot more stretching when I got from party cup or styrofoam to the finishing container and you certainly won`t see roots this dense in that scenario. I force them to be bound, forcing the roots back in on themselves. You see the results up top in stem structure and vigor ;)

Root pr0n, I love it!

My favourite kind brother, my favourite shots are usually the last ones before flower ... that entire container will be vastly white :D

Thanks for the replies all, you`re the best. Stay tuned,

Thanks for stoppin`by Supa, nice to see ya, always nice to have your expertise around. You joined just as we`re heating up. Trying to hit the switch by May 15 roundabouts. Waited for a post, watched my notification bar go nuts as you went through this, haha. Top tokin`mate,

Just did some checking on the ladies, feeling guilty a bit not being able to post pics for a week, so took a few more this morning. Leader had to be tied further (pulling my twist-ties up) and the twins will get their first pass at Mainlining, going to lose some of that bush density. Voila, 12 hours into their new pemanent tent home,

Mohican`s spacing, going to mainline real well I think

Mrs. Orange, may only get the part 1 of the ML process as her undergrowth is pretty impressive. This again, will be cloned, she`s a good looking girl. Dwarfs Leaders fan leaves and is 2 weeks behind

... And this one`s for Cali ;). No exhaust fan, passive intake, exhaust, straight oscillation for now :).

Keep it green all, anyone interested in test running a Cataract Kush x Purple Wreck if I can get a good male? Let me know and as always, appreciate the comments guys,

Few more pics of the Twins topping, didn`t go full out. Going to wait the week I`m away and gauge the growth that happens afterwards, will start heavy training a week from today likely. Enjoy,

Wow, I am definitely going to home depot today to pick up a t5 setup anyways so I might grab a few. Those plants are looking very happy and healthy in their new home, all very short and stout the way I like to see :clap:
Feel free to hit me up with anything you need tested, as I have the time and space always for a new plant :) As for your temps, you dawg. ;)

Appreciate it Jimmer, good to see ya. Early lighting like these CFLs can be done cheap that`s for sure the switch to the HIDs is where we really pack on the size though. Thanks for stoppin`in ;)

Too bad we're not able to send clones across state lines. I'd love to give that short and stout a whirl..
Looking really good there brotha.

Thanks for stoppin`in all, sorry I can`t update any pictures as I`m in my hotel room in Vancouver right now ;). Have to report the weather has been WAY better than home, once I get back I`ll post some of those pictures as well. Wanted to make a note (for myself as much as you guys), topped one of the twins again to get try to get some shoot growth for when I go back home, haha. Met up with a buddy out here who got me ripped on this King Lemon OG ... need I say more ... ? Forget which got topped so I`ll update that as well. See you all on Saturday night or Sunday, peace from Van City!
