Been an age since actually doing a garden journal. Here's some LB (left in cages), Confidential Cheese (center 2 rows), and Dabney (right three rows). Two 600w Ushio HPS are giving us the light. Soil is the simple organic mix recipe posted here on GK with the only change being an additional 2 cu/ft of vermiculite to create a lighter soil. This is the fifth or sixth time I've run a lighter mix and results have been excellent. Watch the show and hopefully (if I don't fuck things up:icon_confused you'll see. Only additional nutrients will be Dramm "O" and molasses during weeks 3-6 of flower then clean H2O until chop. Exhaust...I love this one. Dug out my old modded up Stanley blower. This was going to be temporary until I picked up another fan. Seems she still runs strong, quiet, and smooth after over 12,000 hours of use as an exhaust fan then sitting on a shelf for a couple years. Color me impressed. Best $75 I ever spent. She's earned a spot clearing air out of my gardens until she dies. The girls are going to spend a week at 16/8 lighting while they acclimate to their new containers and home. 12/12 begins Oct 13. Temps are a steady 65F night, 75F day. grow on brotha's :redbong:
It'll be a 25+sq/ft canopy Duc. Counting on the overlap to help with coverage. Really gonna be pressing what these little lamps can cover. Might press an old 400 hps into service over the middle....dunno. Got me thinking. thnx for looking in guys.
damn, dirt guys are about to start showing off. i like the vent system, is that loud or aout the same as fan?
About the same as a 400 cfm inline centrifugal fan. Not bad at all. Can't hear it at all in the room above.
Some are 2 gallon, some are 3 gallon, because I ran out of the smaller ones. Prefer working with the 2 gallon pots. Gets the same results with 1/3 less soil mix.
Sloooow updates for a sloooooow garden. Stupid rookie move. Before adding this round I cleaned the room because of a previous thrip infestation. Added plants, hit the lights and promptly forgot to turn out the room light. Moron. It took until Oct 20 to catch it so the plants are now 18 days into flower instead of 28. Stretch is done.

Yoho, the old poopieheads are coming out. Where you fuckers been hiding? Been feeling lonely around here as the last curmudgeon on the board.
