First dedicated dryer grow 6 Norhterns and 3 Afghanis

Here's a link to some pics, my pics are too big to thumbnail and I don't know how to shrink them. so I'll work through them with you, but backwards because I fucked up.

001(last one) Is my dryer set up with the odor nutralizer attahed to the exhaust fan at the bottom.

002 is a better pic of the tree stand and exhaust fan underneath.

003 is an inside shot of my grow op, right in the middle is the fan and stand, when the plants were smaller I had a screen overtop to sit the plants on but now they are to heavy, so we are moving up to the stage two of the dryer

004 the dark purple is Jaz, and the bright purple is Mrs. Bin Laden

005 Bella is the read one in the middle, and one of my unnamed ones is the orange(see the color difference? Orange is suffering from a little P deficiency) Orange got Fimmed

006 The middle one is foxy and the other two are unnamed(also P deficency for those two), all 3 got FIMmed.

007 is Petti next to her big sis Jaz. I FIMmed both Pettis tops today.

008 is a shot of one of Jazs leaves after flushing and feeding today we had a few blotches on a leaf the are dark green and crispy, also the very tips(less the mm) and most leaves either yellowed or went strait to brown, but it hasn't progressed at all. I dilluted my nutes today but at the same time increased my P to make up for the deficency so that could be it.

009 is one of my last leaves to heal and regenerate after the spider mites almost all other leaves hav healed and many were not quite so bad as that but still pretty patchy, but it's been almost two weeks since.

I flushed today and fed then FIMmed al the plants that weren't going to be cloned(only one from each of the other three) but I'll FIM them after. The clones I'm taking are either really shaded or right at the bottom, so I figured it would be a good chance to experiment a little. Anyways Thanks KP I read your post in my other post and it made me feel a little more prepared.

Let me know what you think guys I'll try to get the pics up here tommorrow and fill you in again. but I'll be kicking around here for a little bit.;)

hey, there looking good to me, sorry babe, i forgot to fim one... i put up a lot of pix in the "topping" thread...

kp:cool:

Hey Chrissy,

That is a cool setup you have. I wondered if that odour neutraliser would work without the crystals because I couldn't find them anywhere, so maybe I'll try it without if I end up needing one.

I think your girls look really good too! Jaz is a very nice plant. I've got some red stems as well but I'm not 100% sure if it's P or something else, but I'll be watching here anyway to see what happens.

-canuck :jointsmile:

I think the crystals are only nessesary if you have high humidity. The odor nutalzer works great with out them. I need to cut a few more holes for better airflow though so I don't hve it hooked up all the time. But if my Bathroom upstairs is stinky(that's where we smoke becauseof the baby) I hook it up and within 15 minutes the whole house smells fresh since the furnace i down stairs. I used extra strength febreeze;)

Someone mentioned that my plants look a little stretched, and I think that they are just a little. I once turned 8 femals into males because I couldn't keep the temp down so I use my temp to judge my height. Temp is at 80.9, humidity is at 30% and the 400w MH is 12' from the highest and 18" from the shortest(Petti). The next shortest 3 are at 15". Think I should lower it?

I'm also curious(hint hint KP) when I might be able to notice if my FIMing worked? How long to they resprout?

And the last question I know depends on whether I fixed the problem or not, but after increasing the P how long will it take for the purple to fade? How/when do I know if I need to increase it more? I don't want t increase it the net feed because I think it is still lacking when really it's just recovering and burn it. I don't even know how bad the deficiency was, I could post some pics of the stems and leaves if that would help.

Thanks in Advance.

OK I lower my light 3" and the temp is up to 82. I also took three clones today from Jaz, Mrs. Bin Laden, and Bella, so we will see how that goes, afterwards I FIMed them too. I tied a few branchs that were totally shaded by larger leaves. Right now the clones are in my Stage 2 dryer. Soon I HAVE to switch the clones with the plants. So I'm going to take the fan out of the bottom of the drum and install it in the circular hole in the front of the stage 2, I'll put the back on the stage 2 and hang the MH from above That should give them a little more room . In the drum I'll mount the flourescent and cover the hole in the bottom with a screen for passive airflow so I can try and increase the humidity. The wall for the flowering room should be going up this week and I should finish that off soon, I still need to figure out how to hang mylar for the 4th wall and still keep it lighproof while not having it airtight. The purple seems to be fading a bit from the main stems but not the leaf stems yets

My clones are wilting:mad: But I was warned that clones don't take well in soil, I'll have to see how they are tommorrow. I think I'll pick up some rockwool either way.

Man am I happy today. Not only did I get my new 400w hps setup and other stuff that I couldn't pick up last night because there were closed for an emergency(I was so bummed), But I also got Stage 2 of the dryer up and running! Now they aren't as crowded and shaded so they should stretch a little less. Check out the new pics

So now that the plants are out of the drum I also got the cloning chamber up and running too! So now armed with rockwool I get to try cloning again tommorrow properly this time.

Now I just have to finish the flowering room, and with the dryer moved a few feet over I have lots of space to work. I have a plan too...

Brainstorming at this point...
I got 5gl pots today to transplant them into today. I only got 4 for the bigger plants. Then I relized that they would cause a major height difference to deal with, and once they are in bigger pots they will take off again and explode in growth. Which is what I want them to do but then they will quickly out grow the dryer and take over the flower room. So then I was thinking of transplanting right before I placed the plants in the flowering room, hopefully 2 weeks apart, but in the mean time they need room for the roots to grow and expand, so I need to transplant them into a slightly smaller maybe 3 gl container. OK I need to go check to see how many pots I can fit in there....

I have so majkor brainstorming to do about trasplanting(Which I want to keep to a minimal, but still want to control size) and flowering all these plants.

Check it out I'll be back after I:rasta: and think a little.

i've a friend who uses those 2 1/2g sqaure trash cans; you can pack those together pretty well...

I think maybe I should use the 3 gl ones, that way I can fit 5 in the veg room to start and put Jaz and Mrs. Bin Laden to flower first right after I see if these clones take. Then in 2-3 weeks I'll throw in the 2 larger Northerns, after hopefully getting a few clones from each. Then I figure 2-3 for weeks should bring the stunted ones, Foxy(NL) and Petti(Afghani) up to par and ready to be thrown in once I pull the Afghanis out. That leaves Bella. This it the plant that I hope and prey will turn out to be my best bud. She was so easy to grow, was healthy, resisted mites, bounced back from drought, and had not deficiencies, and didn't get fried by nutes even just a little. So I planto take as many as 8-9 clones and if she turns out good I'll ditch therest of the clones and just grow her. By then my buddy should be by with a whole new fresh batch to grow.(He comes yearly with babies even though we aren't prepared, but now we are and I havea never ending replenishing supply without fucking with huge mothers. If only real life ran so smoothly.

Oh KP how do you like the new dryer chambers? It all the same dryer wewere going to chuck.
