Indoor Automan getting started up....again.

[AutoMan]

I've been so biting at the bit to get my grows going again now that it's been 4-6 weeks since all the 'plumbing' work......so I popped a few seeds & set up my veg area which is an armoire. To maintain stealth, I had been forced to part out my veg & tent/finish areas and now am trying to get'em all back together so I can 'treat' my maladies with my fav medicine.
I'll have to get a friend to help with the tent setup so that it too will be going by the time the babes need it in 3-5 weeks. Oh I so long to have me babes to tend to again...I've missed'em so much.
I acquired some sunshine pro soil, some germ pockets, myco fungi and here we go. My first two sprouts are Nirvana Bubblelicious Autos and I just planted two Durty Dragon tails...The Bubs are doing great, being transplanted from the germ poc into 2 ltr pots. Again, they are under T5HO 24/0, on a heat mat with a light breeze flowing by to maintain 82-85f at foliage level...The BA are healthy and thriving. Will begin light biobizz veg nutes next week...
All in all, I am amped to be 'back in the HIGH life" again....life is good again and I have some babes to 'molest'.
Looking so forward to getting my tent set up again and watching these babes do their thing. In the interim, I'm still enjoying several jars of well cured nuggs of PAK, TD, Onyx & 'POPS'....'pop's are a jar of satelite buds from all I've grown over the past year...a surprise in every grind....oh brother, picked out the purples from the 'pops' the other day....a probable mix of Bad Betty, Durty Dragon & Jems....quite dramatic I must say....

I'm in for the ride man. I'm fairly new here but I'm almost done with my first grow.I love learning from the veterans here

Sounds great dude. Just saw your 32 oz grow. Stellar job, mate. Subbed up for this.

Rough sketch of my grow tent setup. This fairly represents my setup prior to dismantling and will be how it'll be again soon. Was very happy with temp/RH/odor control ....Intake and exhaust fans are centri fans on speed controls....fresh air intake from a cool crawlspace and exhaust is out a stealth flue setup. My drying bin empties all exhaust into my grow tent for the charcoal can to handle all odors....The tent sits inside a long closet which is adjacent to the armoire veg area. I use "no pest" strips for preventive care, and DE sprinkled around my pots as a mechanical control of critters.
My tent is about 32x32x65"....Height adjustments are easy to accommodate anything that stretches and I readily lst to achieve a nice cola and bed of sats....I love to bonzai wire my taller babes....perhaps of of these will get the treament.
I will try to keep a lil info flowing here and post weekly or so as I get my tent back up....and get a friend to help hook up the intake & handle anthing over a few pounds.......
I'm almost healed from the recent heart surgery and am having another "procedure" in a few weeks but all in all, I'm looking forward to nursing my grow back into a quality med!

Lil info on these babes...

Strain 1: 2 Nirvana Bubblelicious Auto (fems). Seed straight into germermination kit with myco mix. after 1 inch sprout, planted pod straight into 2ltr pot of Sunshine pro. No ammendments. Well water. Ph of my well runs around 6.5-6.8...Never adjust it....never had a prob.
Strain 2: 2 Mossy's Duurty Dragons (regs) are up and under a humidity dome. Both soaked and germed to a healthy 1/4" tail in a pap towel; One was put in a germ pod, the other was planted straight into a 1 1/2 ltr pot....sunshine pro, moistened, covered with dome. Both popped greenery today 5/16. Hoping for a male & a female.

Today, I received some "New Dragons" ...soaking 3....

Got my tent & frame out and will begin 'fitting' things the next few days. Everything is ready just to be assembled back to how it was. Just waiting for the help to install intake through floor again...then I'm all set.
As ya can see, I really keep my stuff simple....nothing elaborate...nothing exotic....let'em alone with only check for pests etc....of course a lil spray with household ammonia now and then...Another week, the BA will get a shot of BioBizz...fishmix/rootjuice....

Dragons and Bubblegum autos nice

I Need to grow that Bubblelicious too.. I hate myself from giving away those seeds to a guy when I heard about them didnt auto.. But they did :twist:

Oh.. I just love your self drawn blueprint hehe

 

[AutoMan]

I hear ya zaQ......I've done the Nirvana bubbles before...coupla years back....was in the zone when some had probs ....but mine did fine back then....As mentioneed in other threads, I typically assure myself my babes are healthy, then throw'em under 12/12 hps to finish after 4-6 weeks of veg under T5 24/0....of course, most have auto'ed by then....don't remember my bubbles delaying and they were a good yeilder with little care needed....
I'm quite anxious this time as I've incorporated a lil diff cure method which has improved my current jars of dragons, paks, NL, duurtys, BBs....

 

[AutoMan]

Update: The two Bubblelicious have grown...one looks pretty good, the other smaller and stunted on one side...both flowered at about 3 weeks under 24/0 T5HO. The Duurtys stunted...prob from a massive gnat infestation...had to re-germ some more....
Now feeding my Bubbles BioBizz appropriate nutes and they have jumped quite a bit the past week.
My tent is once again setup and the babes are under 400w hps....seem to be thriving although the leaves appear a lil ???? but showign lots of promise of nuggs to come.
