New Beginnings for Massachussetts and I

So the problems I've been having with the Bubblelicious... might have found the reason. The sour smells sickly sweet, like a wet smartie candy, with some sour/off smell. Another plant is starting to smell like that too and the pH is dropping. I think I have something growing in the soil and it's not a good bacteria. I'm going to have to get a better drainage once this grow is done. For now I'm going to treat it with hydrogen peroxide in the water feed to kill anything living in the soil and start them cultures over again with popcorn SST after. (but it's week 5, so...)

Or the easy way; let them get thoroughly dry, just to the point of drooping leaves.

Dry soil means no more anaerobic bugs.

Just spent 4+ hours in grow basement- checking on current -Pineapple Kush(in full flower-1 month left) then Setting up new 6 1/2' Sq. tent with my remaining 4 buckets,clean,run air lines,install pump, wash hydrotron,add power strip,hang Led lights,fans- run pump, drink beer, smoke WW- fill 25 gal.worth of water in buckets., back upstairs,clean 2 sets trim scissors, float 4 Sour diesel( compliments to Stebbins) plus congrats to CallmeMom for the Pineapple Kush which are in full flower and have~ 1 month to go. Now time to rest my aching back and watch "Breaking Bad" and eat some Cannabutter! Would like some Cheese to go with all my WHINE LOL( actually got a bit of Blue Cheese from Stebbins, so that qualifies).Have a nice day!

Definitely need more smoke breaks.

Heatsinks showed up. 3/8 with smashed up fan brackets. Maybe they will let me keep the aluminum

Day 8 of drying my prematurely burnt plant. Still no snap in the stems. Keeping the tent humidity steady at 60-65%. Temps 63-68f. Newbie trimmer that I am accidentally trimmed off a couple grams of nugs. Those were dry, as was the trim, so they are in separate jars with Boveda humidity packs. Humidity steady at 63% in them but I still open and sniff a couple times a day.

Day 77 of my 70 day Autos and they are still green. Can't seem to find any amber. They're only drinking about every 2 or 3 days since I took the oscillating fan off of them. I still pull a gallon and a half out of the dehumidifier everyday. Almost time to set up the the hose for automatic draining.

The two photos had 16 gallons of water poured through them and were given new feed. I will now let them dry out to get rid of any possible anaerobic bacteria.
Now that they are off the sippy tray and I can put them kitty corner, they have much more room. My 17" tent platform and 6% 4'x4' tray wedge are almost ready to be installed. That is going to make tending them much easier with more storage and a place to put the drain Reservoir.

Where is everyone? Lol Had Stebbins by for a very informal grow clinic( required beer & medicinals) and got a ton of help from the gentile giant-( set up my next grow tent & 2 of my buckets were leaking(which he spotted & I never would have) so I drove out filltube tee & and bushings & replaced with 13/16" rubber stoppers with silicon sealant liberally dosed. All good! Had him place Sour Diesel into Rapid Rooters(much steadier hand than this old Fuck) and into Dome with heatpad- today-1 already popping. Been avg. 3 days for germ with this system-then couple of days under Cfl once 2 set leaves, Led clip lights, roots pop,- move to buckets- so far-100% germ rate. BooYah! K.I.S.S works

You doing a great job over there old man! You should be very proud of all your doing! Thanks for including me and allowing me to help out and learn some things from you! I look forward to many more visits

Grasshopper-"When you can snatch the Pebble from my Hand, you will be there" LOL!! Just wait til the Cannabutter kicks in, and you can get that pebble easy

Today was CLONE day
Took 4 from each plant in the hope that at least 1 of each will survive. The plants have been streching vertically since I up potted them, but I didn't want to take the main tops so all the clones are relatively small. Fingers crossed.
Waiting for the next watering to change to full flower nutes with Mammouth P and the Botanicare products and them I'll flip to 12/12. Should be either tomorrow (Sun) of Mon. Can't wait to have some bud porn of my own

Mammoth P was developed in my town by students at my alma mater and the owner of my favorite hydro store in town was a tester.

That's what I call homegrown American ingenuity at work!

It looks like I wasn't the only busy one. I spent the day gutting the closet.
Pulled out a 4"x12" cheapy carbon filter, 2 4" inline fans, 2 reducers, a 6"cool tube, about 8-10' of duct and the 400w HPS. Finally! Gotta get this stuff in another noobs hands post haste.

Put up an 18x48" wire shelf and hung my 6 separate cobs @55w each. Also upgraded to a 6x24" Phresh filter and a beastly variable speed fan. < moves so much air I may be able to remove 1 or both my other fans. Temps holding constant @ 73 between the lights.



Bonus Auto Bubblicious @ 12 weeks. I wish the other 2 went this long. Trics are milky white. She's slightly past the point where I chopped her sisters. Trying to let her go a bit longer to see if the trics ever amber up at all. Seen many accounts saying these Nirvana Auto Bub's never do.



New plants have been going strong and growing a lot faster under just 2 COBs than the previous under HPS. Now, with 6 I expect utter craziness from the Amnesia in coco. lol.
This change puts me at more than double the light, MUCH better filtration, lower temps and a LOT more headroom all for less electricity than the 400w ballast alone. Pretty sweet.
Oh, and I can take pics in the closet again.

Is anyone growing a strain that's good for insomnia? My neighbor's cancer is back and she's having a rough go of it. Please PM me if you might be able to help. Thanks

Heavy indicas tend to be better for this.

BALLS!!!! Got myself a hermie. Chop chop The autos are 10 days late already but this plant and her sister have 5 more weeks. Hopefully I caught her before she dropped anything. At least she looks very frosty.

Thanks Stebb ... I was hoping to find something ready to use for her ... I have some good seeds but 4 months is a long time to wait.

In that case I have a couple ounces of the real Gorilla Glue. Puts me out like a baby

Update, end of week 2, 12/12 cycle, finally seeing some flowering starting, heres a few pics, nervous Scotts OG is gonna herm on me, cant tell if its got balls, but from the looks of the phenos of the rare dankness photos thats just what it looks like, seedpod looking nugs, kinda like gorilla glue, hope I am right, maybe you can decipher the last picture, really unsure, but i dont think its male or hermie, hairs coming out of those pods
