Lighting Cabinet PinkSalad Grow W/ Solarflare LED & Blackstar Chrome LED, Air-pots, M3 soil mix

[PrezDickie]

this morning i moved my 2nd for sure male, #9 sprouted balls. so #9 and #2 are both in a different box with cfl. tiered both from their 22oz starter cups into 32oz cups of m3 soil mix. these boys were the two fastest and look nice and healthy so i think i'll pick the better of the two as donor for my pollen, unless some other boy shoots up and surprises me. got weird spots on lot o my other little ones but think it was from when i sprinkled some of the m3 soil on top and around the edge of their cups the other day. the new growth seems nice and healthy and they seemed to need that shot of veg nutes, i need to get them into air-pots soon since i was surprised at the amount of roots in the bottom of the cups i cut to tier the males.

#3 has pistils :booya: first ones this round i also lowered my light way down since i think that might be contributing to their short stature i was trying to protect them from excess heat so much that i think i hurt them again by not getting the light they need.

#5 also is No More was an odd ball to begin with and finally showed balls so he's dead. i've got the two healthy males in their box and 1 for sure female and 7 hopeful females in the cabinet.

think tonight will be night i finally tier all the lil ones into their airpots which means i have to finish cutting new air intake as well, will be busy night after work. which means pissy wife for me hiding in the garden all night

 

[astronomy420a]

so its official when i posted i'd be working in my garden all night i had no idea it was already friday, everything blurs together and thats my double shift day so no time to play last night sunday should be my project day to get this cabinet in proper order. this grow is so not my best work... lil disappointed in myself and how my lil ones are looking.

i am not going to like the last comment, because it's not true! your doing a bang up job.:dance:so smoke em if you have em!!:buds::smokebuds::smoke: do you have enough bud till next harvest?

 

[PrezDickie]

think my wife has enough of the buku stashed to keep her good till harvest time. i hope

well its official at least for now i can't use my California Light works SolarFlare in the the summer. i more than doubled the size of my intake with the new vent hole i cut and with ice in cabinet it still jumps to 100 F in the cabinet if both lights are going! which sucks so i'll only be able to use both lights in winter. For now i've got the blackstar chrome and the mixed spectrum led spotlight and i hung up two cfl to cover the side of the cab the chrome won't cover. 4 of the girls got put into airpots last night and they all need it pretty bad got serious root circling in the small cups they were in i'll swap a few more tonight i think my lil tiny one will just get tiered into a cup not a air-pot since she still looks like a 4 leaf clover

 

[PrezDickie]

half plants into bigger pots and the males



i think i've got pistils going on every one but the tiny 4 leaf clover looking one. hoping the newly transfered space will give them room to grow much bigger.
i'll finish putting into pots tonight, since i need to refill my 5 gal RO water jug.

and i think its a no brainer which male i'll use for pollen unless the smaller on get resin or shows strong color or something

Bummer about the lights and the heat Prez. I'm seriously re-thinking growing in the summer, being set-up as I am now. A constant fight with lights and air to keep the temps down...
I don't dislike it, it just gets frustrating at times, but beating the heat and enjoying the good meds at the end are certainly worth the fight.
Grow Big and Green Karma on the way...
