Indoor Slaters Loft - The 2017 'Get some from your mother' tour

[Slater]

UP DATE FROM THE TOUR and the loft garden

So where are we at in the tour, the last gig is still on the cure but we have fully kicked off the next leg with a 4 plant scrog 2 x Blueberry by Zamnesia, 1 x Alien vs Triangle by Mephisto and a late comer to the bill Somango by Advance seeds. Growing it for its mangoness, we shall have some comparisons with a mango to check that mangoness as we go.
For this next leg of the tour I've completely changed my growing style, using the full range of Remo nutes from now on and the loft garden has gone full coco with a drip feed systems (run to waste) feeding every 6hrs. Running a timed gravity fed system at the moment, all getting upgraded over the next month to a pump fed system. Its all still in the design stage.

Back left A v's T, front left Somango and the 2 Blueberrys on the right...

Taken this morning, the 2 blueberry on the left

Here one of my gravity fed drippier systems, its just a prototype the garden is getting a big rejig at the end of this grow... got a new tent.

And here's the grow its feeding, 2 x west coast OG by fastbuds follow this link for the journal

thanks dude,
It all gets an overhaul through out Aug to the end of Sept. got a new tent so I can have a go at photo's this coming winter. I also want to re-wire, install the new pump irrigation system with larger rez's, RO water filter and loads of tweeks. I may even throw up some wall paper.

Man I've been busy but I had to just take a moment to say it's been simply incredible to watch the progress of the loft (and pre-loft...building it days). Keep it up @Slater ! It's really awesome to watch your passion in growing drive you to tinker and upgrade and try new stuff.

talking of tinkering... designed it so I use just one pump for my rez, no air stone needed now. Pump re-circlates the water back into the rez spraying out on the sides and the timer does the watering. No need for air stones, digital or hydro pump timers, and another pump to keep the nutes moving.

Cool gif dude, messing with my eyes... better roll another to make it worse

Whats been happening in the loft garden ?

Things move along in the loft garden, been having a big life a dump to make room for a second tent so I can now have a go at growing photos, time to try my hand at a bit of cloning and breading. Should have some good DIY posts coming up soon, for one thing got to build another hot box for the new tent (3x3) and you guessed it how can I get another tent with out a new cob light build.... 8 x 1212's, 320w @ 1050ma. We are now just waiting on the tent delivery.
But before I can run lets learn to walk and just grow some nice plants... first up in the photo growing will be Granddaddy Kush by Seed Stokers, thank you @DutchPassionTony all received safe and sound. There will be a separate journal for these in the Seed Stoker section. Dropped into some RO water yesterday for about 12hrs and they are now presiding in a damp paper towel in my bathroom cupboard... Forgot to say I've plumbed the loft in with an RO unit... no more carrying 10tlr cans of tap water up the ladder . Going to do a bit of a pheno hunt with these lady's, lets find a mother to keep

The rest of the garden is coming along nicely. The change over to coco is going smooth, enjoying dialing in the feeding schedules with the dripper systems. Getting the hang of the remo nute line, think I slightly over fed the the the OG's by fastbuds, not much but I did find a little tip burn. About 2 weeks to go, start the flush soon.

2 x West Coast OG's by @FastBuds
One on the right got the kush looks and the other on the left very sativa heavy pheno

The other tent has stared to motor along, the Mephisto (AvT) racing ahead and taking over her corner of the tent super quick. The 2 Blueberrys on the right proving to be strong stocky plants, tough to train. Bit worried I got the Somango in the ground a bit late, she is 2 week behind the others. More on a feeding thing as the others will be on the bloom schedule sooner.
Still It looks like my mission to fill the tent corner to corner is going to work, hopefully I can keep that canopy down so I can finally drive my cobs at full power... we've not manged warp factor 10 yet, only a measly 8.

2 x Blueberry by Zamnesia

Alien vs Triangle by Mephisto

Somango by Advanced seeds

Thanks for stopping by

Yes both OG's, that left hand lady has a big throw back to the sativa heritage. Not as strong smelling but super frosty... I shall get some better pics so you can have a better look.

Here are some extra pics of the 2 west coast OG's for you @FastBuds , starting with the sativa heavy pheno... she has started to smell a bit lemoney

Main tent starting to fill the net, the Mephisto back left about to stretch, the blueberry yet to show sex.
