First of all thanks for stopping by and checking out my grow. Secondly, Well shit, here I am again, trying to cook some tasty ass plants and conquer/iron out many of the huge demands growing marijuana in the high desert places on the grower. On deck for this grow i got 6x of MSNL's Stardawg. I would have bought seeds direct from Top Dawg by JJ, but with the seeds not being feminized i didnt want to run the risk of popping males.
I ordered these MSNL seeds direct from their website and i have to say, compared to the skunk #1s on my last run these popped 100% and rooted quicker than i could double take. so good on MSNL for not selling old/low qual seeds (not to say these Skunk#1s were not the DANK, some of them just didn't make it out of the cradle, and took forever to germ).
Now on to the particular challenges in this grow environment.
Even with a 10k BTU portable AC in the tent the grow area is cooking - 81-85 degrees. if the AC goes out i'm pretty screwed because the temp outside the tent is 93 degrees. the res, situated outside the tent has a water temp of a sweltering 91.0 degrees f which is definitely not conducive to a healthy root zone. Fortunately i have a chiller on order and set to arrive in 4 days. eventually im going to try and rig the AC to a Dryer hose and move it out of the grow room, as it takes up far too much space and also pulls the sides of the tent in pretty drastically.
With all this power drain comes some "trip ups"... ive popped my breaker and one time i didnt catch it until it was almost too late - my girls were this close to throwing themselves into flower.
Now With all these crazy demands and outrageous challenges with the heat, i gotta say, these plants are tough, and they are thriving. cant wait to see how much of this room i can fill with tantalizing gassy bud.
@Mrs_Larimar, you bet I will! I'm gonna run Some Lavender X Purpleurkle from Maddfarmer and some Sour Dubb x Sour Diesel from JJ at Top Dawg on this next run, bummer I could pan these MSNL seeds out and do them justice... compared to the skunks(which were already really terp rich) these stardawgs were going to be insane, I had to buy a new carbon filter because they were gassing out my garage... I had to buy some more of these MNSL stardawg seeds because I want to return to this genetic line 100% and grow them out, these seeds - they're something special. so thanks for always being a supporter, this community needs people like you. ill be back in a month or so to start on this new one, just when I can be sure I'm not "hot"
@Mrs_Larimar,
As always, thanks for your support! Taking it down was a knee jerk reaction, but a necessary one. I am well, and not in any foreseeable danger. after discussing it with my partner we decided it was just best to err on the side of caution and take some time to focus on our next set up, where we will be going into organic supersoil and adjusting our HVAC, and learning from our environment in order to bring about the best quality.
