Totemic Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 With clones youll hit that target but not with seeds. Why not run an 18/12 and flip in 6 weeks. Youd be done by end Dec to mid Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longee Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 New to this thread just came across it. Wow really awesome setup respect to you. I see it jumped from last year till today have you run a grow it? Or have I missed it somewhere. Would love to see how this baby performs. What strain are those clones going in? I need to follow this. Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickerst Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Thanks guys. I did do a grow! But didn't document it. I added a space bucket for clones, it is also fully stealth. I have a bucket that sits on stilts in another bucket. I drilled holes in the floor of the bucket that takes the cones for ventilation, the fan in the lid blows it out the holes pictured in the photos at the top. It is completely lightproof, and the airflow restrictions are minimal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat999 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I like your little space bucket. Could be a fun little side grow with not much effort involved. I built a PVC and panda film clone tent last year which uses 10w LED 3000k bulbs. Uses 120w with 12 of them. What ballast are you using for the bucket?

Sometimes not, hahaha Its awesome and inspiring makes me need to step up my game. Need to learn a bit more about the elec side luckily my mate is a mental sparky, just need to pay more attention when he helps out. My boet over clocks and does comp builds that I just dont understand so he can help me out with that side. He is already sourcing a me a pi or what ever he can or thinks will work for what I have in mind. Been looking at making some leds light setups.

Trickerst Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 What you want to get is a raspberry pi zero w, it's got built in wifi which really helps. And it's a lot smaller than the full raspberry pi 3 b+. It's also a lot cheaper, I have a few that I use and they are awesome. Takes a while to learn how to set them up - and it can be frustrating. But worth it once it is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you thats what we aiming for,my boet has all kinds of friends and connections in the build world. I look forward to playing around and seeing what I come up with.

Trickerst Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 So, my previous grow yielded terribly, the stem was tiny and the root ball pathetic. I checked everything, pH, temp, nutes, TDS. Nothing. Im not new to plants, and I really thought it looked like low light. But how could that be, I have tons of light? Anyway long story short, I'd confused how my lights work. The dimmer wires connected meant they were running at under 10% power.... lol. I still got a harvest, but it was all light and airy. However it was covered in trichomes and was actually pretty potent. I figured out the light issue at around F12, so I made 7 clones out of the growth tips below the apex. I just left two fan leaves and the growth tip. I dont have a photo of what it looked like, bit it was basically a stick. I decided to see what it would do during flower, so I cranked the lights. At the start it had a stem so thin it could hardly stand upright, and the root ball was so pathetic I had to support it. Well, suddenly growth exploded. It went from a toothpick to a lollipop. The stem thickened and could stand on its own. Then it turned into the FNB tree, the stem thickened even more, the nodes became compact and the roots tookover the entire pot. The first photo I have is at F23, 11 days after the defoliation and light increase. The next set of shots is at f44, I had to bend the main stem at 90 degrees at F31 because the stretch was too much. The final shot is at f48, the light was running at 90%, which was too much given how little space I had. As you can see the tip is bleached. I turned the light down to 70%, seems much better. Temps are also better. The buds have fattened up a lot, but the pistils are still basically all white, I need to get a jewlers loupe to check the trichomes.

Smeegol Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 What's cracking tricks... That's a truly mental looking girl, I was expecting like a hotdog style cola on a stick...lol Especially after reading your description ...... going to have to see what lights you running....

That's a truly mental looking girl, I was expecting like a hotdog style cola on a stick...lol Especially after reading your description ...... going to have to see what lights you running.... LOL! Yeah that is what I was expecting, instead she has surprised me and grown some fat buds! I can't imagine how dense this strain would be if I had grow it properly! I have a good description of the lights in the initial posts. But basically 3x Vero 29 which give me 1200 ppfd in my little cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trickerst Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 LOL well my bush baby is getting fatter! If you check out 13 & 15 side by side you will see. Feel like flowering is taking forever I want to get my next grow in before it gets too warm I've upgraded the ventilation, as you may notice there is a huge light sealed vent at the bottom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trickerst Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 I have two clones if anyone wants to trade, CPT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickerst Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 So I am in around day 67 of flower. Still have clear trichomes, I'd say 30 cloudy. Probably going to wait another two weeks and harvest at F80, but maybe even F90. I'll monitor trichomes for almost all cloudy, just before amber, should give me the best potency. She's busy swelling like mad. Daytime: 25-29 C 40-50% RH Nighttime: 20-25 C 50-60% RH Go and look at the photos of the last upload compared to here, you can really see her fattening up. Realised she's a little close to the LED (bleached tips on some nugs) so I bent her back as much as possible seeing as the light is as high as it can go. Dialled the light back to 70% from 82% to help out Also my clones are surviving my absolute abuse, they are all mainlined to 4 tops now, I can let them grow up a little while the mom finishes her flower. I have way too many clones for my cab, so Im trading if anyone wants. Same genetics as the mom (look at those obese buds!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat999 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 You got some fatness going on there bru. Looks really schweet Sent from my G3312 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickerst Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Thanks! Yeah they're solid as well, like little boulders. Flowering is taking forever, 3 weeks ago I thought she'd be done by now so I decided not to smoke till I get this harvest in! Haha and now Im so excited to try her, it's basically tantric lol!

Trickerst Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 So here you can see her, she's so close to ready. My guess is another ten days, which will put her at F80, which is about square on what I thought in my last post. I also have a little close up of some trichomes, which you can see are mostly still clear. And finally my clones, they are all recovering rapidly, in ten days two will go in to my main cabinet and one one will stay in the bucket. The one in the bucket I am going to create fem seeds with. Due to the heat, and not wanting to spend tons of cash on my electricity bill by running my aircon 24/7, I will stop growing around end of October and probably resume in around Feb.

Totemic Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I can just smell that fruitiness. Had no idea you were growing a mad jack. She still gonna swell a bit. Let those calyxes swallow the hairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let those calyxes swallow the hairs. Swell more?! Lol she's already looking like a pineapple. She smells amazing. Love coming home to that smell, it's so fruity and delicious. Totemic[/member] you got any estimations on approximate time left on her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
