Sawney Bean Grow Shows 2023 Bob's first go at a SOG - Sawney's SOS grown in BioTabs

Damn fine group you got there Bob..

Thanks m8
Glad to hear that, because I've got another long one, but that's for the end of the show

Let's start with some technical stuff...
First I raised the light to it's max height inside the tent. To compensate that lift I dialed the light from 60 to 66%, that way the light sensor receives the same amount of light as before.
The extraction fan is easily dialed up or down. And once dialed in everything stays very stable. Also 13% is a variable to which I seem to return very often lately...

Also watered the pots as most of them where as light as a feather...

Only the inner pots and the one in front, in which the smaller pheno's are growing felt heavier.

So I took that into account and focused my attention to the outer rim....+bonus point for who can find the seven differences, hihi

Next, I wanted to show my ladies to ya'll

Almost in flower...But not yet

This one keeps showing these strange colored leaves...But always had everything the same as the others...Must be something I've done. It tickles me that I cannot put my finger on it...

The other larger pheno's have done most of their stretching. Preflowers are massively building and preparing for an awesome show

Everyone looks healthy and green. Looks like I've got the amount of light just right or at least I'm not burning anything and everyone is happy

One final top notch looking budsite before you guys settle down in the theater.... @Sawney_bean, buddy...The smell is amazing!!

Today's time lapse begins where the previous one ended and took about five days worth of pictures. Oh, also readjusted the camera and forgot to turn it back on...Next visit to the tent I'll start again, so there will be about half a day's worth gap which you guys will be missing out off...
Enjoy






Regards,

Bob

Looking superb Bob

Hey AFN Fam


Were back from our trip through the rabbit hole and most things seem in order. Hope the migration guru's get the smiley's figured out as I like them a lot Also the new template is a bit of getting used to. But all is fine, thank you for taking so much care of us @admins


Today my ladies are thirty days old and one can definitely say they have started flowering. This migration took about one whole week to ten days and a lot has happened since then, but more about that in a moment.

I've decided to give my ladies another boost by mixing up, one level teaspoon Mycotrex, one level teaspoon Bactrex, 10ml Orgatrex and 5ml Bio PK 5-8 together with 2.5L dechlorinated tapwater. After shaking everything up really well I divided everything over the fifteen pots. So each pot got approx. 150ml of the mix. Tonight I'm starting a PK Booster Compost tea brew and Sunday morning I'll be dunking each pot into the mixture as to saturate the soil, then it's straight onto the heatbed under the tray which is set to 24°C. Raising the temperature that high will aid in the development of the bacteria and mycelia. And the carbs inside the Orgatrex will provide the necessary nutrients for them. I will have to watch out for high humidity, but that will already be the case as after the dunking I will treat my ladies to another spraying with the BoomBoom Spray.

So yeah...A lot has happened since these beauties started to switch over to flowering. The smaller pheno almost tripled in size, while the larger pheno only doubled it's size barely, which is fine btw as my tent is limited in height

This means that the entire canopy is evening out. Not to say that it is even, but still...We're getting there

Removing all them big dark green fan leaves was a good decision and gave these ladies a fresh start from all that Nitrogen that was provided from the get-go. They do look lush do they not?

Below the canopy everything got cleaned up as well. As some of you might have notice already, I did remove that first node as I really felt that these rarely yield something worth while. What do you think?

Yes!! my friends!! These ladies are really enjoying life

Everywhere you look there's flower sites emerging...

Yummie!!

Anyway, the time lapse will be for later this evening as I don't like to stop just after a lights out. This gives the clip a dirty ending
I'll also update you guys on how I started the brewing process



Regards,

Bob

Good evening y'all, at least it is where I'm at.

I promised earlier today, that I would have a new time lapse for you together with an explanation how I brew my PK Booster Compost tea.
So let's get started...

Supplies:

1. A bucket filled with tap water (approx. 10L)
2. An airpump with tubing and an airstone

Ingredients:

1. 10 heaped tablespoons PK Booster Compost Tea
2. 50ml Orgatrex
3. 1 heaped teaspoon Bactrex
4. 2 heaped teaspoons Mycotrex
5. 10ml Bio PK 5-8 (thanks @snerval)

How-to:

1. Aerate the water for at least 24 hours, that way we are absolutely sure there is no chlorine left that can kill the bennies we are about to add...
2. Measure everything exactly, just like described above *wink* and add it to the water.
3. If not already running, start the pump.
4. Wait 24-36 hours and you'll end up with a tea chockful goodies and bennies.

To end this post I present you with number 9 in this series of time lapses. Duration = 60 hours, speed = 25fps. Please enjoy





Regards,

Bob
