Nice root porn. Have to considered using fabric pots that let the roots air prune themselves? The only downside I’ve found is that they do dry out a day or so more quickly than a plastic pot will.
I just noticed the plastic bottle holding up the thermometer, has that got the ol'e vinegar odor control in it?
I just use what I have on hand to be honest. I don't like dumping $$$ into things if I don't have to. I found that what I 'need' is always there for me...just gotta see what ya have to work with is all. Those roots will have plenty of room in the the pots they're in now to finish flower. No worries.
Nope...no vinegar. I still love the O3 gens best for odor control but for now I have a carbon scrubber hard at work. Not too terribly concerned about odor these days. What I'm doing is completely legal according to Cali. laws. Besides....I live in the freakin' boonies now!
That's right, I remember seeing the scrubber. Must be nice to live out of town, Res has a nice spot too...I will prob never know a legal grow but know if I don't give stuff to strangers and keep the plant count low, worst case is not bad. Still keep rule #1 though. I do miss the old bowl of vinegar trick. It worked great for me all those years ago when I couldn't afford a can fan or ozone machine. I always remember you telling everyone to watch out for those ozone machines and I read up on them and found out how bad they can be for your lungs. You may have save a bunch of people from problems, my self included.
Yeah breathing O3 is not a good idea but damn do it work on odors. I found my old pics yesterday...I miss that old grow box. This first pic shows the fan and O3 gen on the right. I had the O3 mix in the ducting I ran up in the attic so I didn't have to worry about breathing anything bad.
Day 41 in this adventure. I love that compost. These plants took off like a rocket! I've done a bit of training where needed to get the tops even and to give everything a bit of room. They still haven't shown alternating nodes yet, but I expect they might any day now. Going to veg these until they get to be 12" tall then switch to 12/12 regardless of node spacing. I don't want the plants any taller than 24" - 36" when finished.
I still have that exact same light hood you had in your old grow pic. I will prob never use but cant seem to toss old stuff. Still have my old 400 and 1000w mag ballast also. The new plants look great. Nice and short and bushy. My favorite.
Thanks man. That was my old 250W MH light that I had first started growing with. Soon after that picture was taken I changed the lights in the veg chamber to the compact flos. I'm not sure what I did with that old 250W hood now. Been a long time.
Won't be long now. I can 'smell' the 12/12 coming. The Hashchis was the first to develop alternating nodes and looks like others may follow suit soon. Love their color too. Those are some healthy plants. Plant order is: Hashchis - Left Rear AK Widow47 - Right Rear Gorilla Bomb - Center Sweet Soma - Left Front Chocolate Cream - Right Front Gorilla Bomb: Hashchis: AK Widow47: Sweet Soma: Chocolate Cream:
Flower time is just around the corner. Starting to see alternating nodes on all the plants now and they've all just about reached the desired height. I made some cages to support the ladies and keep things tidy then switched out the 600W MH with the 600W Eye Hort. HPS I will most likely change over to 12/12 this coming Saturday. The plants should have grown sufficiently by then. I'm getting excited now...let the fun begin!
