Laundry Storage Closet...Not for Laundry

Day 35 of 12/12 Day 20 Flower


Just some photos before lights out this morning


Gorilla Zkittlez




Apple Blossom





Francos Lemon Cheese




Everything smells wonderful in here. Got a little bit of some tip burn but I did just topdress right on top of some roots so that may be where that's coming from. Still chugging along and about to finish up week 3 of Flower. Main colas are looking like they're gonna be as long as my arm lol.



Cheers everyone!!

Cheers!!

Day 41 of 12/12 Day 26 of Flower

Pulled the ladies out of the cabinet tonight to do my Day 42 strip a day early. Ive got my son this weekend, so cabinet pretty much stays locked up during those weekends. The middle canopy was thick still with fan leaves. So much that they were transpiring quite a bit and still leaving wet marks on other fan leaves. So anything over lapping or covering a bud site was snipped. Hopefully will help cut down on my humidity during lights out. Speaking of which, I bought the small Vivosun Dehumidifier (arrives tomorrow) since I'll only need to run it during lights out. My daytime Temps and humidity are holding still right about 82 and 57. All of this is about to change tho when I put the AC Infinity Carbon filter on. Just came in the mail today and may have to take the sock back off seeing that it barely.....barely fits on the top of the box and between the ceiling!!


Before the strip


After






All of their aromas are pungent now and I'm beginning to smell it outside of my house on my back patio lol. Don't have room in the box to pull through so I'll be exhausting through it to help combat the smell in the house. Probably going to order some inkbirds or try and snag a WiFi or Pro AC Infinity 69 controller and the socket adapters. Decisions, decisions. Haha.

The Francos Lemon Cheese was showing me signs that I recognized I'm my last grow. A possible potassium deficiency. Burning edges and tips, yellowing interveinal, and some slight curl down. I'm guessing my tap water is slightly on the hard side and the calcium is starting to lock the K out. Same exact thing happened with my amnesia haze and it took me forever, like 3 weeks to make a decision on what it was and how to ammend it. So Langbeinite it was just like last time. Topdressed some last night and watching for signs of it stopping.

Much more comfortable in the cabinet with everything opened up and last touches to finish this run out are being setup. Thank you again to everyone tagging along.


Cheers!

Day 46 of 12/12 Day 31 of Flower

Ladies have finished up their first month of Flower. Things are just cruising along. Started looking a little hungry so topdressed some more BuildAFlower and Kashi Blend.

Been busy on instagram putting a new page together, if anybody in here stares at cannabis on insta all day like me lol and wants to tag along there as well its @cardinal.flower.house




Cheers!

Photo dump. No real updates lol


Cheers!

Day 59 of 12/12 Day 44 of Flower


Couple days into the 7th week of Flower for the girls!! Apple Blossom and Gorilla Zkittlez stopped throwing next pistils a couple weeks ago and a lot of hairs started turning. Entering into this week their swell has started. Sucking those hairs in and packing on weight. So much that I've had to start supporting some of the auxiliary branching from sagging down low. I missed a week of top dressing and I think the girls are starting to show it. Also think might lights were a little strong on the very tops of Apple Blossom, as I've got some damn near white splotches on her upper leaves.


Looking like it may be a few more weeks on Apple Blossom and Gorilla Zkittlez to finish up. Francos Lemon Cheese is throwing out some water bottle size colas and still popping new pistils. Leaning 60% sativa I'm expecting her to finish a few weeks after the others. Since the cabinet will still be running with Francos, I needed a place to dry the other two. Time to build some shit!! Haha





Soooooo, I gutted the old mini fridge and built a small veg/seedling/clone cabinet to go with the big Cabinet. Still got some finishing touches on it and it'll be all set to start operating as soon as I'm done drying the first couple plants!!

Cheers!!

Duuude that's TIGHT. Nicely done. Frigging McGuyver!

Day 65 of 12/12 Day 50 of Flower




Beginning the 8th week of flower in the cabinet today. Probably going to let Apple Blossom finish out this week to swell up a little bit more, but she's looking to be just about done. Gorilla Zkittles looks to have this week and maybe next week to go. I'll reevaluate when I go to chop Apple Blossom down.




Everything spilling out the cabinet when I open the doors. All of their lowers are rock hard, dense golf ball sized nugs.


Soon it'll just be the lone Francos Lemon Cheese left to finish up thru most of December. She's an ugly chunky girl, but her smell is amazing and looks like she's gonna yield plenty with just running six mains.





Cheers!!

Finished up the new Veg cabinet for the most part yesterday. Redid the doors to match the larger cabinet. Got the door seals in. Just need to make some light traps and a seal for the wire pass thru. Other than that, she's ready to start putting in work!




Cheers!!

Day 70 of 12/12 Day 55 of Flower



(pic from Day 52 of flower)



I ended up chopping Apple Blossom on Day 68 since the flip. 53 days of flower. Pulled all the long stemmed fan leaves off and separated the mains. Shes been hanging at 60% humidity and mid to upper 60s in temp in the new Veg cabinet.



While I was moving things around, one of the mains on Gorilla Zkittles decided to chop itself right after I took some photos and while I was searching for something to support it with lol. Her top was super dense and heavy and just keeled over.



And then there were two...
Gorilla Zkittles is about a weekish out and Francos Lemon Cheese still has a few weeks to go. Some of her mains are approaching beer can size. She is CHUNKY!!



Cheers!!

Damn you temperamental Mid-Atlantic weather!! Going thru one of the top colas on Francos Lemon Cheese I found the tiniest amount of white fuzz in the middle of one of them so immediately chopped that bud out and tossed it. Went thru the rest of them and didn't see anything else so fingers crossed.
This weather has my Temps and humidity all over the place so increased the fans and airflow in the flower cab but in reality all I'm doing is exhausting humid air into the laundry room and sucking it right back in. Looks like I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and invest in a large dehumidifier and some form of controller for next run.
The veg cabinet, where I've got one plant hanging now is holding humidity right about 63 but Temps have crept up to 72 and holding since it's warmer outside today. So Apple Blossom is drying a little quicker than I want.
Hope I can keep up with all the fluctuations and make it thru to the end. I'm ready to clean up, reset and start going again.

I got these 2 things....
HEPA (+UV)

Dehum (with humidity % controller)


Seems like a necessary combo in our parts. Especially if you're right next to a door leading outside/by where ppl park their shoes. Glad the rest looks OK man! Omg I hate mold & mildew.

Happy for you getting the results your pleased with. Everything so far looks great. You’ve got me thinking about possibly building a dry room/tent. Got space similar to the amount you had by my tent.
Can you include a post with info/results that you receive on the dry room? And maybe a pic of how it’s hung in there. I’m a newbie.

Day 77 of 12/12 day 62 of Flower

Gorilla Zkittles got the chop last night. Cut individula branches and stripped every fan leaf that i could see the stem before hang drying her in the new Veg cabinet. Finally got the temp and humidity stable in there after a few days of wet weather around here. Apple Blossom has been holding steady at 60% humidity in the Grove bag for over 24 hours so she's officially into her cure. Completely forgot she was crossed with Dream Queen until I had a test smoke. Dream queen is on of my favorites and the effects immediately made me remember. Right behind the eyes, euphoric and everything felt like it had a nice glow to it lol.

Ended up with 4.3 Oz between buds and popcorn off of her.


Francos Lemon Cheese got the cabinet all to herself to finish up.






Cheers!!

So it's basically a little veg cabinet that I built for young plants. Put some eye hooks and ran some trimmer string them them and just attached the branches using some garden ties. The box has a passive intake and an active exhaust fan that I have a fan controller attached to. I can't get the temp any colder than what my house is so it's about 70 degrees steady. With the help of a humidifier and dehumidifier I can keep the humidty holding at 60%. This gave me about an 8 day dry time on the first plant. Also got some fans in there to keep air circulating. Once both cabinets are running with lights and plants I'll have to figure out an actual drying chamber option.
