During the Summer time a lot of vegging out early plants occured. Various clones were grown and given away for both Purple Kush and Amnesia Haze.

The system hadn’t been worked on for a month or so due to work. When everything was brought online it was discovered a massive electronic shock had occurred on all the devices and the chips were all friend. A complete system wipe and rebuild was needed.
Every chip ended up being burned out.

Designed and made some simple light reflectors for T5 fixtures out of simple cardboard and mylar reflectors.
Hot glued the fixtures to the cardboard. The heat generated ended up being an issue. Zip ties were later used.
With mylar attached.
Placed in the tent.

With the main grow downstairs for the summer due to AC, installed some venting into the tent and repotted.
Getting ready to make room.
The Purple Kush is about to go outdoors.

The issue with the fungus growing on the clone cubes came back to bite me again. Gnats developed and ended up wrecking havok on the grow.

The first plant from the year before ended up hermi’ed and the seed saved. Half of the seed was sown to see if it would sprout. The other 8 ended up being amnesia haze from Europe. A very strong Sativa.
Soaking the cubes in the nutrient solution.
Feeding the Purple Kush seedlings.
Test seed from a hemi’d Lemon Haze plant.
The two grow cycles going at once.

A week into the seed they developed a fungus issue. One of the reasons to use fresh prop trays every time if your a craft level cultivator.
A strong seedling but should be bigger for 5 days.
This one developed a fungus issue that caused insects later.
Repotted a week of growth.

For the summer I decided to seed some purple kush. It ended up being a difficult plant indoors but was amazing outdoors.
The seedling setup. This turned out to be a bad idea as these domes require a full slate of cubes to keep humidtiy balanced.

Around this time I also started generating my own compost tea.

The nutrient mixer had been a manual process to date and it was time to program the software to govern it. Very tedious process involving a lot of calibration.
System plugged in and running.
Microprocessor talking to the microcontroller.
System doses a perfect 10 ml
Wired into the grow.
The grow with the camera, power and feeding all running.

The sixth grow was harvested and it was glad to be done. Growing itself is very time involved even at a craft level and at this point it was time to pause. This grow itself was very difficult to process and ended up needing 3 days strait. Besides some veg work everything else was done.
Hanging to dry on the racks.
Ready to trim the dried cannabis.
