Seed and Clone

by AutoAdmin

The beginnings of learning larger scale developed. Seedlings were sown for the first time and a row of cuttings were taking from the 4th generation Lemon Haze plants. It was a skill to learn not something viable for a craft level grower. In future keeping it small and simple was preferred.

The seedbank had grown at this point and I had some options to select from.

 

I still had two of the original lemon haze plants 4th generation going down stairs.

 

Prepairing to clone out the daughters before moving to the bloom room.

 

The resulting clone bin with seed and clones. Popagating seed in rockwool cubes is not recommended as I found the seed has difficulty uprighting itself.

 

First signs poking through.

 

The two daughters were then moved to the bloom room for an eventual fatal blooming.

 

A day after sprouting.

 

A few days later. This is stunted growth for seedlings. I found they grow faster in an open air pot then a dome.

Third Harvest

by AutoAdmin

At this point the environment was easier to cultivate but the temp was still and issue. This grow suffered from high heat stress and was harvested early. Ended up making really good pre-rolls.

The environment had come a long way. Feeding was automated via the system in the shower which delivered to the dosers tubes you can see running into the tent.

 

This grow suffered from lots of heat issues. The plant on the right actually split down the middle I believe.

 

The grow was cultivated early with very little tricomb development.

 

Hung to dry.

 

Modified the tent to raise the plants off the ground. This ended up being a costly mistake in the long run.

 

The mixing feeding setup was becoming cluttered and more of a hassle then it automated.

 

Closer inspection of the harvest shows a lot of fresh flower. It needed 2 more weeks.

Project Nutrient Mixer Mk. I

by AutoAdmin

Began the first stages of an actual automated nutrient mixer. Designing a water treatment and mixing 5 gallon tank system. It was not the greatest concept and often leaked.

Creating the outflow for the mixer.

 

Designed the mixer built into the bench. Not the best design I’ve ever had.

 

Wiring up the power controller.

 

Initial mixer system was created in the shower to prevent drainage issues if a seal was breached.

 

Working on the pumping and piping.

 

The early maker area.
