The many faces of foxy- lady you sure have a :greenthumb:
I know it has been a while.
The first plant in flower that is showing signs of starting to ripen is the Yeag's MTF; it's only 36 days in and the hairs are starting to turn on a couple lower buds. Aroma of that plant is strongly of black peppercorns.
The Bogglegum looks like it may be next and smells ridiculously fruity and is SO sticky.
Here's some canopy pics! My camera hates HID lighting. The crappy looking plants are rescues from the cellar ordeal that never really recovered. The others recovered fine as you can see. All of the plants in flower ATM are left over from a previous grow that had to be broken down for security reasons. The next batch of clones that are vegging right now should be ready in ~2 weeks.
Actually the pic that ISN'T crappy is fro the veg closet, oops!
Okay here's some pics of the setup.
1-The hps 1000 is hung off eye hooks that are 4" long and screwed into hemlock studs. They aren't going anywhere. I could hang a mfing hammock off them, lol
2-Here's a shot of the whole room sorta... that hose on the floor is an active 4'' intake blowing in among the plants
3-Here's a shot of the view from outside during lights on. I have a fan in the light lock and clip back the outer layer of panda film so there's more air circulation. Temps are in the low 80s.
4- This is the exhaust
5- This is a diagram of the floor plan. The main area is ~5x5 and then there's a little side area under a 400 for new arrivals. There's nothing under it atm so it's off.
Very cool place, foxy! The bars however, make me feel jailed- what causes that- blinds? I would love to smell that MTF- sounds good enough to cook with!
Is that one of those booster fans in pic three?
Nice set up. How many plants in 12/12 right now?
Shov
Demeter- The stripes are a response of my cheap-as-fuck digicam to HID light. It's most pronounced under HPS but noticeable under MH. Someone who understands electronics better than I can give a better explanation.
Breeeeee- Yup, it was $27 at Home DePOT plus a 'power tool replacement cord'. I had to wire it for being plugged into an outlet but it took like 5 minutes. Yes that's duct tape over the junctions... I forgot to buy wire nuts and my stupid ex stole ALL my electrical supplies... I'm redoing the junctions more safely this weekend.
Shov- I think 10, plus those couple ugly ones that don't count because they is almost daid... lol.
Ummm lesse, there's
1 Hindu Kush
1 Chocolate Chunk
2 Yeag's Matanuska Thunderfuck
1 Bogglegum
1 Sweet Tooth
1 Afghan x BOG
1 toxic Lemon
I'm sure Im forgetting something, lol.
lots of lumens in that room :D nice :thumbsup:
I decided to repost this here from Dutch and Harris' log... useful.

My personal favorite out of the ones that are nearing the end of flower is actually Stinky's (Afghani dream x homegrown) x BOG unknown. She has very dense buds and smells like a freaking DREAM... perfume and fruit... and very sticky. She is also the most vigorous plant in my garden.
The Yeag's MTF is definitely reeking of sweet black pepper.
The Bogglegum has thick thick pistils and a heavy frost, and smells intensely of fruit.
The Black Indica is frosty and sticky, but doesn't smell until you squeeze a bud, and then the aroma is subtle spice. I expect her to be a very nice smoke.
The smashberry that is almost dead smells like berries, lol.
Okay, here's what the girls got for breakfast this morning:
1 gallon of water
1 oz pure blend pro bloom
1 oz top max
1 oz neptune's harvest kelp extract
1 oz molasses dissolved in hot water
My last run of clones has officially rooted (roots are coming out of the plugs, they 'stuck' after only about 2 days!), woot, that's only 10 days! I heart rapidrooters.
Um lesee, I still haven't picked up any calmag and am getting it today, but yeah, I guess I REALLY needed it going from soil into coco; Stinky had been using that fish emulsion that has a bunch of Ca in it, like 1 ppm according to the company. I'm not using it in coco and the last run of clones suffered losses that I at first thought were fungus but my fertilizer guy identified as Ca deficiency, and then I started noticing it on the otherwise healthy mothiers too, yikes, caught that one just in time.
I'm starting some new seeds from a friend today too... Foggy Day #4... we smoked a little this week and of his 2 strains, #4 and #5, this one is more my style. It has a strongly earthy aroma that comes through in the taste too, surprising too since I've never gotten that from a plant grown in hydro, I expect great things treating it organically!
I'll try to get some good pics tonight right before the HIDs come on, under just flouros, so you can see the frost better!
That Hindu Kush mother that I decided to flower is turning into an unmanageable monster and I've got her ties to stakes stuck into other plants' pots, lol!! My goal even with all the different strains is to keep the canopy no more than 2 feet off the floor, so everyone is getting bent over and clipped down.
Something neat I recently saw at an orchid show was using those little decorative plastic hair clips, the ones that look like 2 combs and a spring, to clip stems to stakes. The little mini ones that are only about 1cm seem really promising to do all the training and still be able to undo the clips and move plants around as they grow and ripen at different rates.
