email468 - Big Bud and PPP grow

email468 · May 6, 2008

UPDATE: all plants cut. Whatever bits and buds had trichomes is in the freezer for hopefully some hash.

I am suspending all growing activities until i can resolve the heat issues without introducing odor control issues.

Do not fret - i have plenty to toke on while i am working on a new area. Not completely sure what i'm going to do yet. May just do some add-ons to the current or may just build from the ground up but i'll keep you all posted regardless.

Yoinks!
I will sure miss watching those girls grow but a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.
Wasting time on what may be less than what you are looking for is that, wasting time.
I am for one glad you decided to take matters in hand and grow up to your very knowledgeable potential!
I am so looking forward to your next endeavor dude.
Meanwhile if you miss the day to day of it stop by my journal.
Things are looking pretty good for a first time out of the gate operation if I say so myself.
I too will do so much better next round
Thanks for letting us watch :peace:

i came back from my trip to a severe odor problem because of the air conditioning. can't take that big of a risk - especially when i'm not hurting for smoke.

I will work out the bugs and be back in action soon. I can modify and be back in action quickly (this will be my most likely option) but i could redesign everything and which means i'll probably have to go through more rounds of troubleshooting (which makes this the least likely option).

Enigma · May 6, 2008

Ya maan.. keep us updated on the progress.. if a new room is to be built, or changes to the current op. I just wanna see some more of your sexie ladies' skirts!!!

If you need design help.. send me some dimensions and I can draw some shit up.. I have a few days off this week.

4x12 Activated Carbon Charcoal Air Filter Odor Scrubber - eBay (item 150236105406 end time May-12-08 21:51:56 PDT)
scroll down there are lot of models and loads of outer outlets to look
but that [a filter] should take care of the odor issues

i use CAN filters and odor socks but the problem was i added an AC and it expels the stinky air unfiltered. So i need to build a box around the AC so i can filter it while still allowing fresh air circulation. there are a few other issues that i want to correct as well.

Alto · May 6, 2008

Ah I see (I thought you had a filter but wasn't sure)
I am sure you will get it all sorted out
Lookin' forward to the next one dude :joint:

thanks. i think the PPP on this grow would have been fine. A bit stunted but fine. I weighed the risk vs. one just fine plant and decided against the plant.

I'm actually looking forward to working out the kinks since it should make the next go-round go pretty smoothly.

This may be an alternative to the air conditioner for the res.
MicroChiller for Nano-Reef Tanks or Small Aquariums
I am thinking about one of those for my room to chill the reservoir.
What do you think?

i had both problems. Res was too hot and the ambient temp was too hot. My AC seems to solve both problems since i have the AC blowing right on my res.

Now once i introduce CO2 injection (that is way on down the road) then I will probably let the ambient temp rise so the plants can best utilize the extra CO2. Once I do that, i may need a solution to keep the res temps low but the ambient temp higher - and a water chiller seems ready-made for this purpose.

I am leaning towards the least costly way of getting another crop going so will probably just modify my current with some tighter odor control.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

well i wish you well and to hurry back! hope everything gets situated. you know i want progress reports and any new gadgets you find!!!! what about seeds? are you going to order more now???

and oh yea...our experiment. i think i killed 3 of our little buddies. too much heat. i left them on the heating pad with the humidity dome on.

out of 2 coco starters...maybe 1 made it (not sure still trying to nurse them back to health)

out of the 2 rapid rooters ...1 made it....the other never germinated. i cracked opened the plug and the seed never germinated....so bad seed i think.

i transferred all 4 (3 dying...all in the cocostarters and too much heat) to the hybrid aero tub.

the one in the rapidrooter is recovering fast and fine....his friends and family however may be lost.

he is responding nicely in a coco medium in a hybrid aero setup.

i think our hypothesis proved correct email! the coco almost wicks off the water like you said

I'm not too surprised. Those coco-tech liners i was using did not hold any water. In fact - it took quite a few grows before the lid starting getting a bit of algae on it.

I love those rapid rooter plugs. I believe i'll be sticking with them. they hold enough moisture to let the seedling establish some roots but they do not muck with pH or contain potentially hazardous material like rockwool.

Where did you get your seeds? and where did they originate (the breeder)? I doubt i'll be ordering more as i still do not have a good location to ship but hopefully a friend of mine might be getting some so i like to have an order ready - just in case!

I am pretty laid up this week but hopefully will be feeling better soon so i can start work on things. Be sure i'll document everything i do to prevent an abortive grow next time.

i'm sorry to hear you had some mortalities. take it from me - marijuana hates excessive heat :mrgreen:

what are you going to do now?

OK - cool - those are the two i remember you posting before and are bookmarked.
Have you tried any paradise seeds? i love the looks of that Nebula! or maybe i just like the name.

I can't find coco lids either! they came with the system. in the future i'll be using mylar or plastic or something.

This is a monthly update from Green Man
it is kinda fussy about ratings so you are pretty much guaranteed good stock
http://www.seedbankupdate.com/su.html
I bought seeds from both Dr Greenthumb (highly rated on that site)
and Goldenseed in the UK which delivered very stealthily and fast! (5 days from order)
I ordered 30 seeds got 45
Dr Greenthumb came in breeder packaging and took 2 weeks
I ordered 10 seeds got 14

all germinated so far
initial planting was all Goldenseed
No7 is from Dr Greenthumb and is called Grenadine which is a cross of (NiagraxShiva) xG13
and its looking good so far

not yet, but paradise seeds does have some tasty strains (by the looks & description of it anyway)!!!

hopefully germination on the real beans will start in a few weeks!!!!

a bulb broke and i dont have the funds to get one right now.....
