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.

 

The old veg bulb from before.

 

Lights on ready for moving.

 

The plants outgrowing their closet space.

 

Moved in and happy.

 

Moved in and happy.

 

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

 

Upstairs going strong.

 

The clone closet shut down.

 

The downstairs slowly turning into a grow.

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.

 

New blade for the cut.

 

First clone.

 

A filled tray.

Eck one of the blueberry male plants. Hated to throw it away but had to.

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.

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.
