Hello everyone!

I'll start off by saying how glad I am that I found this site. There is a lot of good info to help get your feet wet or jump in and get soaked.

Down to business. I started off popping 6 seeds of Maximum Carnage (black cherry punch X pure Michigan) and 3 of Medical Glue from SinCity. One of each train didn't break soil. I blame it on me over watering and not having the space warm enough. Seeds weren't cheap lol. This was a couple of months ago before I got my tents setup and new lights built.

I was using an aquarium light that I built years ago, did an ok job. I had the plants in a tool chest, was a little cramped. Anywho, plants have been in the veg tent for a week now, acclimating nicely. Popped a Fat Berry, seems to be all of the rage from Linda's , she sprouted on the 22nd. The photos are going in the flower tent tonight, going to start cutting the time down and bumping the output of the light. The medglue is feminized but the MC is regular. The photos look ok all thing considered. I snagged a clone off of the best looking MC and the medglue. MC clone blasted roots out QUICK. She is rocking out, pleased with that.

I will post my equipment in a bit. This is a reminder and poke for myself lol.

Feel free to comment if you have any thoughts, good jokes or random factoids.

Thanks!

And... dont pay any attention to the leaf scorching. That lady was smashing herself up against the aquarium light. Like I said, it was cramped. She straightened herself out.

Equipment list

(2) 2x4 tents
(1) Homebrew light for veg. 240w max output, I have it running at 120w currently. 20,000 lumens at the 120w.
(1) Homebrew light for flower. 380w max on this one. Running her at about 200w now. I may cut power to 2 banks if it ends up being to much.

Good old FFOF for soil. 20-25% additional perlite. So far, just top dressing for nutes. I have HF fruit and flower, probably going to mix that in before I flip.

Fabric pots

Assorted fans. Currently using fans that are made for van interiors. Hey, they oscillate and clip on. DC to boot. Great! Nope. I have had 1 fail and 1 that whines something awful. 1 good one out of the three that bought, time to find something different.

Let's see, phresh filter for the room. 4" exhaust fans for the tents.

Unicorn tears for watering. Don't tell the kid that I make her unicorn cry..

Ph pen Oakton I think

Hanna Meter tds meter. A real one, not the bs ez or whatever it is.

Shoot, threw a Gorilla Glue from seedstockers and a NYC Diesel from our girl Linda in glasses of water today. After they split or 24 hrs, into the soil they go.

@Capn Bligh Your plants look fine. Have fun and listen to your plants. It is a journey. The robber squirrel is funny, they are so athletic.

By golly, that is a genuine light burn :rofl: So 99,999 to 1, So many people think they have light burn when it is really a nutrient/PH problem. I used to see actual burns a lot with HID before LEDs became so popular.

Thanks for the reassurance :highfive:

I could feel the plants that were getting torched screaming lol. They were smashed and bent all over. Natural LST right? I think the burning is what gave me the final push to finish everything.

I keep forgetting I dont move as fast as I used to and projects take longer now lol.

That squirrel cracks me up.
 
June 22
Fat Berry broke dirt. I don't have a pick from that day but the one above is from today.

Going to flip the photo periods in the next day or two.
 
Day 10 for the Fat Berry

Day 1 for the Diesal

Day 0 for the GG from seedstocker. I'll post a pic when there is a turtle head poking out.
