What's up brownies! And grow FAM!!! Hope all is well! So it took me a week to get everything done, one man team working on 6 differe t grows had me stretched kina thin for a minute but it's finally happening! The dungeon is BACK, looking the way she was meant to look! I've decided to do my first full auto run in the dungeon, up u til now I've kept the autos out of the dungeon and in the two 4x4's
It's going to be interesting lol esp since I also decided to run like 7-8 different strains and all their finish time vary from 65-80 days but I do believe with a couple tweaks I can shave a shitload of time off the longest flowering strains I have in there, I've also done some strategic placement of shutoffs and ways to pipe into the existing set up to be able to run 2 more controller buckets in the same room if I end up needing to shut some off and flush while the rest are still finishing.. here's a picture of the little baby girls getting comfortable In Their new home, EXTREMELY excited for what's to come!! ENJOY!...
So I haven't been here for a minute, I had to go about this grow a bit weird, I had a couple strains that did not ha dle the initial transplant that well so I've had to ride out with my first reservoir mix for longer then normal while I planted a few replacements. But finally I'm just about where I need to be to really kick it into overdrive and get back to where I need to be.. all the girls are looking pretty good, one is still struggling a little bit but it's ok even if she doesn't adapt, I'm not going to try to replace her. Hopefully she pulls thru tho. I ha e noticed in my environment these autos definitely enjoy a warmer solution temperature then I've ever run in the dungeon on my previous PHOTOPERIOD runs. Sit back stay tuned and watch it all go down, thx for stopping in!! Will be posting weekly now hoping for a strong finish 💪💪 and from all of us here on the donkey farm... HAPPY GROWING 🌱🌞🌱🐴👨🌾🏼🐴🌱🌞🌱🌱
2 days ago I think my head in there and when I saw what happened overnight I knew I finally mailed it zano's definitely like different conditions in the photo. I've run in the past in here as far as route/solution temperature.. the past 2 days have legitimately been insane though swapped out the 4 middle boards, with qb288rspec's. Re-wired, put up some banners from nute tools in braintree, and HLG, cuz they ALWAYS look out.. stickers from advanced nutrients, got an email... Hopefully very soon I'll have an all FAST BUDS run to throw up on here.. can't wait!!
Added for are specks in in place of the Virgin ones hopefully I get eight more are specks very soon to finish my upgrade and really that's like the last thing I have to do I just ran through my entire operation and upgraded everything can't wait to get a run in utilizing what I've done I know I was 7 probably a thousand times but this time should be a lot easier and a lot more fun rooms looking good everything dialed in can't wait to see this run finish
So a few new things have happened in this room, I thought I was done with the renovations, then decided to fix my grid, when I built the light frames there was supposed to be 2 more boards, in between the 2 large frames to complete the grid..well I spaced the frames out about 16" added 2xqb96elitev2 for proper coverage.. I popped the middle 2 boards on each frame out and replaced them with qb288 r-spec instead of my old faithful v1's.. after I dug out my light meter and saw the difference I bought 8 more and re did the entire room.. will be adding in 2 diablos to complete my grid, and adding 6 total qb 69's just to absolutely smash it late in flower and I will veg under them as well I love these 96's they're probably my favorite light on the market rn and I have a 650r if that tells u anything about them.. anyways,, rooms taking off RIGHT!! EVERYTHINGS DIALED IN I have one plant that's acting funny still, besides that everything is killer💪💪
And what a difference a week can make when u find that sweet spot. Some girls a little behind some a little ahead, just about to start leveling out.. it's crazy how well this lemon hz strain that started off originally with an order to msnl. One of these girls is my project, the other 2 are the last 2 seeds I had from the original order, will be a cool comparison when. All is said and done.. lost one plant to another grow because it wasn't an auto as advertised.so were.down to 14 total. Curious to see what I end up after this run, if I ever decide to run autos in here again it absolutely will all be the same strain, or at the most it will be 2.different strains. Love the learning curves tho that's y I do this stuff. And really everything is settling In nicely can wait to see what next week brings
Got my last little light tweak put in this morning still pulling less than a thousand Watts total between 16 quantum boards I can turn this room on and phone ET home 💯 Can successfully/effectively veg this entire room at less than 300w with 2 wallet sized boards if they are hung from high enough.. working on putting together a before and after pic of this room with this set up from my last hid run.. this room has finally tuned into a freaking monster... Big things to come ESP when I drive BK Into photos... Can't wait💯 #hard work pays off.. some of these girls will be finishing in the next week or two. Some will take longer, will be sort of tricky, but I'm always down for a challenge 💯
Everything is finally running great only one plant is behind still the g13 but everything else is doing so good I'm not holding back anymore I'm really starting to push these girls will let them drink the reservoir down to about empty and do my next swap in the next day or two right now they're up taking about 25 gallons a day which equals to be a little over 2 gallons per plant they're just crushing it right now s***'s about to get really interesting stay tuned 💯
So I think this is actually week 10 but I sort of slacked off, having surgery made me lose a couple weeks just laying around.. self induced brownie coma to avoid taking painkillers, all is well, topping offy rez for the week and a half, without actually doing a swap, built my e.c up to a crazy number it should have never reached. Some of the girls took it hard some not so bad, all in all, good learning experience, I have found (even tho I said this is my last auto run in here) what strain I'm gonna run next, I'm gonna do this one more time, all one strain, no funny b.s.essing around, need to make it up to myself for slacking off this time, this shits gonna drive me crazy until I finish my next run, I'm not overly anal about certain things, but my garden is the exception, I'm an anal o.c.d. ridden prick lol and when I get something stuck in my head, I will not rest u til I accomplish whatever it is I'm thinking about.. stay tuned, shits gonna get interesting.. there's 4 auto girls in this room pushing at least a half pound each, a run w/o any dumb shit i.e. surgeries b lah blah... I'm really curious what I can do running one strain from one breeder in here, can't wait 🤞 and wish me luck!! *Done rambling 🤷♂️🏼😂
Weird run everything finishing at different times ina big recirculating system it's a bit tricky but I knew I was in for a challenge... Doing 3 at a time in single buckets, in a tent, not too bad and easier to swap out 5 gal then 65 gal each time imo... I trash and replace all my lines every time anyways. I have rolls over 3/4" tubing.. looking for some sort of drain guard/screen/mat that will go over but not obstruct the drain, this hydrofsrm system is now old tech.. still badass but def a challenge with how fast these autos grow and establish roots, staying on top of spinning your pots to check andake sure the roots aren't clogging the drain is a full time job... Will find a choir mat maybe or something like that🤷♂️🏼
