[Guest]

That's if this makes it to the end SK

I didn't get round to doing the schedules n that last night but i popped the beans today (- speed devil) and will sort out all the details of the grow in a day or so.

Damn! i got shit loads to sort out man and i've not even begun yet!!

Beans popped in an ice cube tray and put away in a snug place.

The Snow Fruit clone is now ready to move into her new home + 2ltr's of Plant Start and Rhizotonic. This should ease her in nicely and the Nutes will be started in a weeks time.

She's just starting her 7th node and has been in a 2ltr pot of lightmix for roughly 6weeks feeding just plain tap water. I kept her at low temps to keep the growth down whilst filling out the root mass. This could of backfired a little because too cold and i'd prob get nute lock an all sorts of hassle.

I'm not sure yet if i'm going to top her or not. With limited head height in places my ideal method is to gro scrog style. It's defo gonna b fun trying to get the shape right so i get the branches to spread nice to take the graft's.

Hmmm Maybe our first casualty. This is the Moham Ram bean. Don't ask me whats up with it, i have no idea. She's been popped in rockwool along with all the rest but i get the feeling she's done for. Time will tell and i'll defo keep me fingers crossed for her as i was lookin forward to trying this strain in me bong like.

Knew i forgot something...

Temps are a steady 20c with 1 400w + heater. Extraction set at 1/4 power.

Light is on 24hrs until the 2nd light goes on in week or two. Then will switch down to 19/5.

Had to move things around this morning to fit in the clone box. The beans in the rockwool cubes have gone in it as they were real dry this morning.

Also snipped off the 3 lowest nodes on the Snow Fruit Base gal. This has left 3 nodes at the top and the top node has been fimmed (fingers x'd).

Looking Good Bm, I can defo tell your smoking some heavy shit man

About putting a big tub of water on top of an Air Con? is it or electrical unit

[Guest]

Jerzey. nah dude not plugged in. The coolers just the right height to sit the tank on is all. I've learned water and electricity don't mix well (from the last time) , although i thought the spikey hair look i got was cool man. I didn't dig all my body hair falling out tho .

indeed jerzey. saves me bending me old knee's man . . It all helps like .

wee update

To help things warm up a bit now it's chilly the 2nd 400w mh went on a couple of days ago. Temps now 23.0c. Still on 24hrs until i can get a 2nd tube heater which is defo gonna be needed for lights off.

The base gal has only been in her new home for 5days now and she's taken to it like a cat to a sofa. I've given her a bit of bondage to help the lower nodes do some catch up.
