Getting back into my element!. Week 1 - The dungeon..

Getting back into my element!. Week 1 - The set up, now have an additional titan controls controller, genten CO2 generator. 2x commercial airpumps active aqua 12 outlet, and 6 outlet w/custom diffusers for every pot. Grozone CO2 controller. (Might add on cycle timer) 2x 6" tall boy carbon filters, vivosun, and vihohome extraction and optional intake fans all with variable speed control. This run I ha e everything I think I need, plus atleast 2 extras of EVERYTHING for the just incase scenario. Converted 5.5 cu ft deep freezer I to reservoir to avoid having to buy another chiller, and honestly I can tell you it works WAAAAAAAAAY better then my 1/4hp chiller could ever dream of working, at less than half the price.

Getting back into my element!. Week 1 - Old run, just showing the dungeon.

ThEm4DSc13_TiSt 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!...

ThEm4DSc13_TiSt 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 🌱🌞🌱🐴👨‍🌾🏼🐴🌱🌞🌱🌱

ThEm4DSc13_TiSt 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!!

ThEm4DSc13_TiSt 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💪💪

ThEm4DSc13_TiSt 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

Getting back into my element!. Week 7 - Better picture of this room.

Getting back into my element!. Week 7 - This is my girl, my project that's been in the making for a long damn time. First seed of my own that I stopped of this strain, and even tho this isn't telling me much, it's only one seed. This girl gives me some EXTREMELY HIGH HOPES, for the future if I can run this a few more times with this great success, I will be bringing this line to the shop and letting some other ppl run it and see what they say.. so far everything I've dropped until now has been EXTREMELY CONSISTENT and some just trying to get a little more color and boost the size a slight bit more. If the next round does t show anything I wanna see, stopping here, is still Def an accomplishment

Getting back into my element!. Week 7 - 3 week late ms.mass showing up to the party

Getting back into my element!. Week 7 - Pot was sitting on the airline, so some slight discoloration, but being 3 weeks behind... This girl and her two sisters are making a strong showing regardless of being so far behind, they are not the furthest behind anymore. This strain, and the lemon hz strain I've been working with FOREVER are easily the most impressive in the room. Close third is widow max. Prpl diesel is by far the smallest plant I've ever grown in my whole life, even after doing the beer cup challenge, few doing amazing few doing well, high hopes for the rest of this run, everything seems to be coming along very nicely now.. some aren't gonna be anything to really brag about, but as usual, here on the farm it's RARELY EVER only about yeild... That run is coming up, until then more valuable info has been added to the library..

Getting back into my element!. Week 7 - C-mass showing up late, but ready to rip

Getting back into my element!. Week 7 - Cal deficiencies and all, this girls is showing she could absolutely finish well under 50 days.. these were @ day 45 already showing some amber. Without having even been pushed for size yet, these girls are impressive, don't want to do another run like this for a minute, but when I do it will be one of two strains, not all broken up like this.. either my lemon hz project, or the c-mass I've been wrkin on bringing to my library... Found the genetics I've been looking for, just a matter of getting my hands on them now.

Getting back into my element!. Week 7 - Final result of the upgraded overhead tweak. Middle boards are free to move BK and forth depending on what set up ur running or what plants. Red more light where. Between the 16 boards in here everything is broken up between 6 drivers, from 150w to 480w. Very very customizable according to the plants needs. I love this room now, can't wait to throw a few 3-4 scrog monsters in here to see what these rigs can really do.. planning that out now. Not set in stone yet, but will be fun to see go down when it does stay tuned!!

Getting back into my element!. Week 7 - Just some incredible product for the crazy short amount of time it's been in here. Will be glad to see this run finish to get into a few other things, but I've answered the questions I've had so far and hop.for a strong finish from the rest of these girls...

ThEm4DSc13_TiSt 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 💯

ThEm4DSc13_TiSt 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 🤷‍♂️🏼😂

Getting back into my element!. Week 9 - Prpl hulk, girl has weird bud structure, but every single branch made a 12"donky

Getting back into my element!. Week 9 - C-mass #1 gorgeous plant, literally, hard as a rock💯

Getting back into my element!. Week 9 - C-mass#2 freaking monster. Not QUITE as dense but still hard as a rock. Makes up for it in size 💥

1/8

ThEm4DSc13_TiSt 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🤷‍♂️🏼
