Good deal mcp. Best to just hop through there fucking hoops and get em off ur back. Sounds like your getting shit resolved, good for you bro.

Anywhooo I have a couple of breeding projects planned for late winter. My new/old vertical room is going to be my extra veg room. Once i get my parent plants selected im going to be doing some cross breeding of a few strains to see what i come up with. Mainly looking to breed other strains with the Timewarp for next years outdoor. Maybe ill cross a DOG aswell for shits and giggles. Well see. I just love this hobby. The never ending possibilities just fkn love it :)

:peace: 1BMM

my probation doesnt really effect me to much, my PO is pretty chill and is putting me on a low risk case load so it will be even easier on me. the only shity thing is not smoking,growing, and not being able to have a tiny pocket knife or it is a felon is Possession of a deadly weapon. but ya im getting my shit done and keeping my hands clean for the most part.
good luck with the breeding when the time comes, that is something i really want to do wheni grow again so i can grow my own strains and have fun with it.
have a good night with your lady.
Peace

Hey DST my bru. Great tune for an easy sunday lol. Only my sunday wasn't all that easy. Me and my wife spent the night out on the town and got rather anhilated lol. Me head is still pounding. I was all good till I got home and fired some trainwreck and I was OV.

Had the spins something serious haha. Did you know that an Irishman isn't considered drunk if he falls down and can still hold onto a blade of grass haha ;-).

Good times :bigjoint:

Got a major upadate on the way :peace: 1BMM

Aight peeps its on like white on rice. Fianally got some time today to get all the new grow gear installed.

Still got just a few lil things to finish up like running all the spagetti tubing into the dwc buckets. Calibrating the Hanna ph/ec/ppm meter. And a few other odds and ends. But this room is ready for the grow.

Heres some pics of the near finished cave as im building along :-P

So where i left off before, I had the hydro system water tight an fully functioning.

First order of business is to get the veg bulbs in and hang the lights.


This is the glass tube from the ecosystem machine i have. Im going to use it as a massive dual cooltube.


The bulbs.


Here is one of the 2 DIY socket mounts that I made to fit the glass tube.

These sockets where originally vertizontal shade reflectors. I butchered them up quite badly DIYing cooltubes to fit into the reflectors. It worked but this is going to work alot better.


Here is the mega tube hung up. Looks to me like the light spacing is perfect for the garden.

Im going to be custom making a reflector shade for his bahemith to max out my light use.


Heres a look see at the exhaust. This is a 4" 190 cfm fan blowing out the chimney. I adapted the splitter for my portable AC unit which exhausts threw a 6" round duct. Easy peasy cooling for the warmer weather.

Moving on to the ballasts.

Somebody here on riu told me that a digital ballast messes with the Hanna meter. So i do have 2 magnetic ballast. But until i confirm that rumor to be true. Ill be using my diggy and a magnetic.


All mounted and ready for action. Really liking the Cap light controller. Its going to be hard wired into the breaker panel so i dont have to worry about the old wiring starting a fire in the walls. Also a nice feature is running a single timer for all lights. This particular model can handle 4 HID's. Im going to be running the ballast on 240v. Much more efficient Im thinking. I dont really give a shit if it saves on juice but that would be nice :bigjoint:

I have masonry saws that are 110 220 switchable. They run like shit on 110 but get the job done. On 220 they are tearing shit up. So that is where im coming from when think the ballast will run better on 240v.

Heres some more of the controls and such.


The duct stat is an enviromental controller. It is basically a thermostat that will kick on the intake or heater or AC. Whichever its plugged into if the temps raise or fall. Quite a handy lil deal.

The yellow power box is a safety feature to the room. Its wired to shutdown if the power load gets to high. This particular line used to run really hot on just an extension cord. So I added this as a precaution.

And lastly the Hanna meter mounted next to the main reservoir for easy reading and ph ppm adjustments. Its going to be nice actually knowing what the solutions im feeding consist of on a technical note.



Moving on to odor control.


If youve been following along you may have already seen this piece of gear. This is my brandspanking new 8" Vortex 750 cfm with an 8" by 24" Phresh filter. Man i tell you this sucker cranks out some air.


And because it cranks out the air i have it connected to a speed controller. The fan gets that buzzing noise on the low setting. But medium no buzz. Ive smoked joints in here to see how well i cuts the ganj smell and i got to say so far im impressed.

I got the unit setup as a stand in air purifier at the moment. If it keeps the smell completly eliminated i do have an 8" duct in the room that im currently using for an intake, That could be used as an exhaust and heat the living room of my pad at the same time :idea:

Hopefully that unit will be all i need. Thinking of getting an O-zone for backup just incase as i have some real smelly strains ill be working with.


This is 1 of the 2 airpumps. All ready to rock just gotta run the tubing.


Almost ready. A reflector and some wiring and badda bing.

So while ive been slacking on the room, busy running my business i have been letting the Dog Kush, Headband, WW, & BW veg.

Time to take some clones :weed:

Just vegging the Dog's are pungent smelling already:-P Headbands aswell.

I decided to kill of the white widow as she just aint very lively and i need to make room for my timewarps.

I started soaking some beans yesterday and toaday all 6 of the Timewarp cracked :bigjoint:


Timewarp reg beans.


Hoping to get a standout male and female of these 6 for some breeding projects later this winter.


This is Dog Kush 1 that got snapped in half by a light falling on it. As you can see she's back with a mighty vengance lol. However ive made my selection of the plants im going to keep for clone mothers. Going to give this plant to my dad to care for hes quite the green thumb lol.


The clones :-P. In front of the red cups all the way from left to right is Dog kush #3 cuttings. Last plug on the right is Dog #2.

Front row left to right. Blue Widow, Headband 1 cuttings next is Headband 2 then BW & BW.

Had to let the BW go after the clones tonite. Just need to make room. I do love that weed though its some killer smoke. I got beans from previous grows so no biggie.

Ther is 3-4 cuttings in each plug. I wont be nedding all of them so i can select the most vigorous clones to go into the dwc garden.

Wont be long now my friends. Soon as these clones root in about a week well get to see this dwc/scrog in action.

Ill be adding some new strains along the way here to. The Timewarp X Romulan beans are going to crack by tommorow and the Grape apes wont be far behind.

Hope you all enjoyed the read from this hungover bricky haha.

:peace: 1BMM:leaf:

man it is coming along great so far, i like the mega cool tube.
did you ever use the ecosystem? i dont recall you did and why not? seems like it could have saved alot of time in not having to setup this grow.

Nope i havent used the ecosystem. Call me a woos. But until MJ is legal or atleast medical in my state i dont want to push the numbers. That machine needs 200 clones in it to even be worth growing in. Thats well into federal prision for a long time if ever i get busted. Im not worried that ill get popped as im way low key. But you never know. I can handle 5-10 in the clink id still be able to see my kids grwo up atleast.

Also i figure i can produce the same if not more bud with less plants with this setup and that is another reason. And finally im one who likes to finish what i start and this grow is one that has been in the makes since i first started growing. So that my reasoning Mcp.

The ecosystem is a great hydro machine and id love to use it. From the videos ive watched of peeps who have the grown in one they get a good yeild and dense nugs. Maybe someday ill try it when i get my med card. Until then im hiding out with my lil scrog garden hehe.

and like i said That machine is up for grabs if anyone has the balls to fill er up:bigjoint:

masonman, looking really good. I have a suggestion for you and it will cost you less than thirty dollars with shipping.

http://www.wormsway.com/detail.aspx?t=prod&sku=RRLH100&AC=1

My ex partner bought a couple of pairs of these things and finally I broke down and bought a couple of pairs. You can adjust your lights in seconds and it's so much better than chain or the yo-yo hangers. These are much more stout than the yo-yo's.

Thanks for that tip HU. I kinda like my chains though. It dont take but 20 seconds to raise or lower. However those gadgets look pretty handy. Hmmm May have to check into them later.

Update for you lad....both Timewarprs are doing their Timewarp thing...a little bit of a stretch on them but they are okay.


The Romuland Timewarps, one germs in the soil and stayed there, the other is up but a lot stretchier than the Timewarps...hoping it fills out when she gets into a slightly more grown up pot. Will keep you posted lad. Have a good day...
