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 🤷♂️🏼😂
Watch your e.c. I had surgery and slacked for a week and a half, caused a few weird mutations but mostly just on this strain, not hard to grow, but in clay, slightly sensitive this run
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🤷♂️🏼
@Neo09,I'm actually trying to figure out how to make 2 picture I to one like right now, a sort of before and after hid/led side-by-side, just kinda suck with computers is all lol... I added in the final tweak on this room last night, will post pics in a minute. But now I'm still pulling less than 1000w overhead between 875-950 watts I was playing with the dimmer knobs and adjusted the qb 69's slightly for a more even coverage.. I'm a huge fan of Overkill, just incase I decide to break down this ebb-n-flo and do a coco run or whatever, I have the option to run them harder, at a higher hanging height and can cover this entire room wall to wall.. originally I had designed for 6 288's and 2 qb 69's on each frame, but right now with 6&1 really it's more then enough. If I would have known then what I do now, there wouldn't be any 288's in here, MAAAAAYBE. 2-4 just to level out some dark spots, but these qb 69's are less expensive, and pound the canopy like very few other lights I've found.. and I've tested and ran ALOT of different stuff, for the money, and if u have enough head room to do so, the 69$ qb 69elitev2 kits on hlg's website, hands down, most affordable, most effective light on the market rn.. and I run alot of stuff from their v1 board's to the 650r. Still 69's are my fav
@GanjaTorturer, lmao I can't believe I ddnt notice your name before 👍 I effing love it 😂😂😂 when I noticed that I remember the video I watched on YouTube a while ago watching how this dude trains is plants and how he explained it I guess is offensive to some anal retentive people but I thought it was perfect he said think of your plans as filthy stripper whores 🤦♂️🏼😂 the more you mistreat them the harder they will work the please you..😂 now I'm not trying to offend anyone at all by saying that and I'm not saying that I technically agree with his outlook on "wrking girls" lol one of my coolest gf's ever was a stripper and much respect to any woman making money taking care of business, but his statement in the context he said it was absolutely 100% on the money lol sry for the rant, love the name!!😂
@GanjaTorturer, lol thnx man appreciate it, I putting her back together rn, did some overhaul/upgrades, new mini split, 10mil diamond mylar, new wall mount fans, super 8's, and active air. And a different CO2 generator and controller. Should be a good run man I'm excited.
@Ned_Grows, lol no doubt 💯 I posted a status like. Month ago and described it like 2 tractor trailer trucks full of lemonheads Had a head on collision in my tent 😆 I love that shit, I usually grow atleast one with every grow I do... ALWAYS my head smoke.. later bro..
@ThEm4DSc13_TiSt, Yeah man I love the Limonene Terpene and SLH is full of it my last grow was the most sweetest lemon candy tasting smoke that I've ever experienced I was 100% hooked on it I just wanted to keep on smoking it because the taste was so awesome and I couldn't agree with you more about the pharmaceuticals they got nothing over the Gunja in my opinion I believe that Humans have evolved with Cannabis over thousands of years that's why it has so many healing properties for us it really is a miracle plant I have been prescribed Heavy pain medication in the past and with the side effects it makes you feel worse and doesn't take the pain totally away but with the Gunja it's a different story I have made edibles with the Gorilla Glue strain before and it completely took the pain away they worked so well that I forgot that I even had a back injury lol 😄 and thank you for the offer of support I'm sure I'll have a few questions for you from time to time I also looked you up on Instagram and have request to follow. Peace
@Ned_Grows,oooohhhh lol that sounds delicious! Slh is one of my all time favs as well man u should've seen my face light up when I just read that😂 that is also another reason I got back Into growing seriously I also have a few Injuries due to terrible decisions I've made in the past mostly on my relationship choices tho😂 I got run over a couple times smh, I'll give this to her tho, she had good aim🤦♂️🏼 but I had to get away from pharmaceuticals sooo many negative side effects, and they really ddnt wrk that well anyways. I'm EXTREMELY Interested in what ur speaking of as well tho, the benefits of different strains and how different ones are recommended for different issues or Injuries/levels of pain and discomfort.. It's just fascinating to me and I honestly feel this plant played a huge roll in actually saving my life so any time I can donate to furthering "the cause" is time well spent in my opinion.. hey man anytime you have any questions plz feel free to ask, I mean that, I can't guarantee I will know the answer personally, but I do have some connections with the ppl I've met doing this stuff where someone will know, or know which direction to point me in to find the right answer. I really like networking and talking to like minded ppl I'm glad u left that comment to jumpstart this conversation! I've used a bunch of thread sites and forums in the past, but honestly the most helpful and most chill group of growers I've come in contact with has been on Instagram believe it or not, I'm not sure if u have an account but if you do look me up on there I'll I troduce u to some very very talented growers. Almost everyone I have come across on there has been cool as hell! And eager to help anyone in need! Hit me up anytime and if u do decide to try it out on there, I have the same name I should pop right up, just look for the Ginger scientist cartoon drawing guy
some strains definitely doing better than others adjusting to the clay and ebenflow finally got the root temperature where it needs to be with their feet underneath them these girls are about to take off...................Killer week finally got s*** where it needs to be everybody showing lots of love life is good sit back and enjoy the ride what's going to get real pretty in here 😎😎💯
I could never commit to hydro, Ive heard it removes a lot of flavours, and the hydro bud i have smoked always seemed a bit funny.
What are your experiences with it ??
@URbanGrown, I kind of agree with what you're saying but at the same time I'm absolutely nailed the couple runs end they actually came out better then the ones I had growing right beside them in a tent in soil... When I first started I thought it all looked weird too lol but now really if u put them side by side u really would have a hard time picking them apart. It's one of the things I've been working on relentlessly tho, I'm really trying to find the correct approach and mute combo to keep the flavor&terp profile
as close to an organic grow as humanly possible... I think it has alot to do with the strains you like to run too tho. I think with the right grower, an right approach you can come REALLY close a good percentage of the time. I she a few patients that prefer hero to soil and visa versa for whatever reason I'm not sure but I have thrown ppl some samples with telling them the difference. And only like 2 ppl noticed anything. U still have a few strains tho that I only grow in soil for that reason... It really is hard to beat the flavor and aroma and smoke of certain strains grown in dirt... It's something I won't stop working on until I nail it down tho 💪😂 hydro is alot of fun tho I really ah e a softspot for it now. The growth is just insane sometimes... I just posted some dwc pics on my Instagram.. same name just look for the donkey machine drawing 😂 check em out, been getting some CRAZY colors in this little mini ebb'n'flo 6 pot.. another thing I'm working on is the shelf appeal, colors when u don't have the environment to change them like alot of ppl do.. I do it all thru NUTRIENT combos at certain times.. it's pretty cool stuff 💯

@@Canamatoes, thnx man for the kind words.... Was a long time coming, and took alot of work to get it to here, but man it's def paying off... This rooms still blowing my mind, ten runs later it surprised me every single time... This is a crazy run, not focusing on anything in particular besides being able to find a sweet spot while running at least 8-10 different auto strains, all different finishing times. But just proving with documentation it's very much possible... I've had some ppl on Different thread sites go as far as saying I'm only there trying to validate my own abilities to myself?, so rather then play their blame, trolling games I'm just posting stuff that I've been up to, and strangely enough, all the trolls are gone😂 I rarely ever focus just on yeilds or what others are striving for I always have some crazy experiment going on..looking for and trying things ppl normally don't do lol. Nothing I do is conventional, and I'd rarely ever recommend my methods, but it's fun man I live&love this stuff. If u ever have any ?'s about anything man just shoot.. I'll be glad to answer when I see them. If I DNT know the answer, I work with an r&d team with some of the brightest minds in the Industry I will find an answer somewhere💯.. there will be some SCYNCE LED raging kush grows coming soon. I just signed on with them last week, (apparently they wanted to help me validate my own abilities 😂😂) na man I stay open minded, and know I'll never ever know everything when it comes to this stuff... And honestly anyone that thinks/acts like they do know everything, are the ppl that have the most to learn💯. Glad to have u following me man, grately appreciate it.. I'll be posting alot more info on here the next week-2weeks been stockpiling info and pics. Getting ready to post a bunch of stuff
@QuantumSkies, thnx! I ha e a softspot for the early versions of these quantum style led boards. I've had EXTRWMELY good luck with the lm561c diodes, and I do not mind one bit sacrificing a little efficiency for overal end results.. am currently running a side by side by side with the version 1,2, and 3 boards... Will also be running another side by side by side, with the 550 rspec,650 diablo rspec, and the SCYNCE LED raging kush, THAT I am excited to see go down!
