4-12-23 Grow #8 New expanded & upgraded perpetual system up & running on 1 side of the 4x8 flower tent, waiting on delivery of new FC-E 4800 for the other side. Plants had slow growth due to my mistreatment but have certainly taken right off in first week of flowering stretch. From previous experience growing these strains (FF) they only go through about a week of flowering stretch before producing pistills & budlets, but they go crazy & stretch heaps in that week. Usually photos stretch for 2 to 3 weeks, my experience with shorter flowering strains of 8 to 9 weeks, usually start producing budlets start of 3rd week. Last round these FF strains grown from seed finished Day 52 early week 8, a little quicker seems the reduced time comes out of flowering stretch reducing from 2 to 3 weeks to 1 week. Interested to see if the clones finish up quicker than plants grown from seed?? Also i have a new Apprentice! As you can see in photos, he is learning very fast! & is great at doing equipment checks! Although he has a fetish for tent zippers , hanging grow ometre probes & spare scrogs net on other side of tent. Decided to check out the inside of exhaust ducting in veg tent during set up before fan connected except I run a 2 into 1 splitter system for exhaust, & think he got quite a scare when he managed to climb up inside ducting in veg tent & make his way through ducting into flowering tent where he found a 6 inch fan blade at full speed doing a 360 to try & get out he would o f come across a 2 story drop to the ground where ducting splits 2 into 1 & vented out window of my 2nd story apartment. Luckily I hadn't tightened clips on fan& ducting & with his weight ducting came off fan THANKFULLY & he dropped into flowering tent. Scared the shit out of us both!!! Have had to go around putting tape over claw holes in ducting! Little bugger!
@BudBoutique, Yes the pots i use are nutrified 15 ltr & very versatile, can be set up as recirculating system which is how I'm running it or used For DWC or even flood & drain system. Recirculating system usually used 3 pots per plant??? 1 turned upside down to raise system so it gravity drains back to resorvoire. 2nd pot which come without holes, ( for DWC) , drill your own holes & use Gromit's, instead of pot being round at bottom, sides have straight edges where holes go for better seal of Gromit's, 2 drilling points for drainage higher or lower which will allow some water to always remain at bottom of pots for example an inch or so. 3rd pot goes inside 2nd & has grated bottom like a net pot to hold medium,plant & allow roots to grow through & drainage, 3 adjustable heights for inner grow pot, can be daisy chained to customise set up size. I also use them for DWC, can purchase net pot lids for DWC or built in drip feed lids for recirculating system. Very, very good price! Excellent value for money given how versatile! I run 19mm drainage hoses & fittings & 13mm for feeding . Bought all the pots i needed, hoses & fittings & D.I.Y. I'm using a table to raise pots instead of theire 3 pot system. Can definitely recommend this product cheap & good build quality & best of all it produces really nice plants with huge root systems comparible to Dwc. Run perpetual so was looking for easily transferable system from veg tent to flower tent, run them in both when time to flower take out 3rd pot with plant & drop straight into same set up in flower.
Thanks 👍 for taking time to check out my grow, will do the same & drop by your diaries 🌿 & please feel free to check out my other current grows. Any likes, comments or questions greatly appreciated 👍
Just tried doing a smoke/ final harvest report. Seems it's no longer on here? Can anyone let me know of similar experience. I didn't use massive bloom on this grow & I think it shows a little, mainly all small but still dense buds. Tropicana pheno 2 grows that way. Got some bigger buds off Tropicana pheno1 & Orange sherbet. Total weight was 347 grams around 12 1/4 Oz. So a bit of a let down to be honest! My 2 nd lowest yield since growing, my 1st grow the lowest at about 10Oz. How ever the quality is very good 👍🔥 Orange sherbet was 61 grams. 2& 1/4 Oz
Tropicana pheno1 114grams 4Oz
Tropicana pheno 2 #1 85grams 3 Oz.
Tropicana pheno 2 #2 87grams 3 Oz , great terpenes, resinous , potent, very enjoyable 🔥👍
Frustrating, seems every time I log on to the site, something has gotten worse!!! Last 2 day's haven't been able to upload photos, tried doing 1 at a time but gets to a certain point & freeze's up!!! Have just harvested my grow & want to update!!! 🤬😴
