Sixth Grow Harvest

by AutoAdmin

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.

Gnats and Space Problems

by AutoAdmin

This grow had issues with bugs. Natural treatments were tried and failed resulting in a fogger fixing the problem at the expense of using harsh chemicals.

 

The veg room overflowing.

 

Bug treatment. Fungus gnat traps worked only so much.

 

The upstairs grew explosively.

 

The closet temp had issues when the door was closed. Lost a few clones.

New Veg Room

by AutoAdmin

With the number of plants outgrowing the closet the next stage was to bring the tent back online and install it downstairs. A third light fixture was purchased and the tent setup.

The tent dragged downstairs.

 

All setup and installed.

 

New equipment purchased.

Lights on ready for moving.

Keeps the light out from bothering but the sound of the fans running was annoying. Next time I will try something else.

Time to Replant

by AutoAdmin

A few weeks past and it was time to plant the clones. This would not be my last time growing so many but would be the last time I did this large of a repot. It was definately a challenge the first time around that had issues a few weeks later with over watering and temp.

The clones needed to be repoted and were looking a little weak.

 

Prepping the soil and containers.

 

I installed a larger light to cover all the plant canope.

 

Finally reported wit the weaker ones to the left. I didn’t mind a few dying off.

 

Treating water for the plants.

 

I like this micro root food. It helps greatly with the new plants.

 

A few days later and they are looking much happier and healthier.

 

Close up of a replant a day after.

Clones, lots of Clones

by AutoAdmin

The downstairs closet was converted over to a veg room again and I decided to try cloning out at a larger scale.

I wanted to make sure I could run all the lighting in my unit so I did a blueprint and mapped out the electrical system.

 

Setting up the closet for cloning.

 

Full setup with airflow.

 

There were a few strains and I wanted to make sure I recorded each.

Grow Room Upgrade

by AutoAdmin

Around this time the 4×4 tent I was vegging in had reached capacity and it was time to upgrade. I decided to purchase a second 600W light and remove the tent. This was a large upgrade as it dedicated the entire room to the cultivation.

 

The veg tent filled and needing more room.

 

Stopped by the local hydroponic store and picked up some equipment.

 

Mounting the light hangers.

 

Getting everything moved around for the grow.

 

The first light hung behind the time as a space to bring the plants to.

 

Time to break the tent down.

 

The veg bulb removed from the fixture.

 

I picked up some good eye care as well.

 

Plants moved to new home under bloom light.

I basically put everything into the old tent to store.

Failed 4th Grow

by AutoAdmin

This grow ended up being lost due to a broken table. The plants split and knocked the blower off which overheated the tent killing the grow.

 

This grow did now survive.

 

Returned to the plants knocked over.

 

And dying.
