Thai is a notoriously hard strain to germinate, start, grow , clone, or deal with in any way inside. Notorious for it.

Oh well ... I'll give it the old green try.lol ... I just wanted to grow something know one else was.. At least I am lerning something new..

I tested the tent 81 bottom and top is 84.. Running for thirty minutes... I gotta go to the hydro store & buy another can fan to bring fresh air..:)
 
Yo..... I am building my veg cabs over the next day or so. I picked up a 100w MH fixture for the mom cabinet and will put the cfl's i have in the bottom cabinet for the clone area.

Picked up some Jiffy mix and some small humidity domes . Going to begin cloning this week after the cabs are built and everything is tested. Cab shouldnt get too hot.

Got some router speed controls for the fans i have. I should be able to quiet them to a whisper now. Anyways. The plants obviously loved the calcium shot i give em. They have put on some girth over just the past couple days.

Plants will get transplanted to 5 gal bags this week... well everyone of em cept the male..... Hopefully some others will begin to show sex this week. we will see . Anyways, i will update again soon. with pics when everything is done, and clones are in their homes.

Going to get wild now.

Sweet buddy.. Now where is the MJ PORN.lol:D
 
It's time for an update. Well after examining my setup as a total i decided it wasn't going to do what i wanted for a perpetual setup.

Some of you know this some don't. For a perpetual it's best to have either

A. 2 decent sized cabs 1 veg 1 flower.

B. 3 cabs of varying sizes.... depending on space limitations.
1 Veg or Mother box
1 Clone box or propagation box
1 flower box



I have chosen route B for space reasons. I didn't paint the clone box but whatever.... screw it.Anyways, Back to the perpetual. Well it's time to start cloning,and get the girls i have into their 5 gal final homes.

So it will go like this.

First run, take clones from all the females.
Flower out the clone mothers that were grown from seed.
Pick 2-3 mothers depending on space. 2 in my case as i am jammed full. Plants are picked for me based on all around potency/yeild.

I will give a little on one or the other depending on how much i like the smoke.
Anyways.... on with the show.

Some changes went on tonight.

Moved the ballast board.
Installed Harbor Freight Router Speed Controls.
Installed Thermometers
Build Mother Box including a 100w Metal Halide(6900) lumens
Build clone Box about 130w cfl's I will remove the big ones and replace all with daylight spectrum cfl's for the clone box later.
Sealed the room door tight and now have no light or sound leaks.
Watered all the plants thoroughly
Smoked a few joints.....
Tested everything out.

Smoked another joint.......

Took some pics, and now here we go. Enjoy

I another grower stated that the bag if ya move them you could damage the roots... Is that true or hocuspocus? :) .

So 2 of the CFLs are 42w warm and 2 26w Blue or daylight.

The 2 26w which is it blue or daylight.:rolleyes:

Good morning buddy...

Nope. I've used them up until my latest grow and never damaged roots by moving the bag.

Thanks buddy... Where is a good place to order them on line at?


Good morning!!
 
i love my bags... i have 100 of the 5 gal and 100 of the 1 gal and no they dont damage the roots. People just don't like change and will throw things out there that aren't true.


The bags fold flat, and are reusable if you don't mess em up.

I paid about 20 $ for 100 5 gal bags and 10 or so for the 1 gal bags. i can't remember .it was way cheaper than pots, and you can't argue about storage.

They also stand square when filled with soil and plants.

Think about it. If somebody is moving their plants around enough to damage the roots, it wouldn't matter what kind of container they are in.

People dont' like change.. I hear it all the time about the poly grow bags.But 99% of those people haven't even tried em.
