Foxysox is back in the game!!! =p

Here's some more setup info!

Ohhey sup, I just updated actually.
You want to keep your humidity LOOOOW!!!! Mine stays in the high 20s.
The thing is I DO have a second grow space which is a small mother/cloning closet. You can easily build one with a portable tool shed like Xcrispi did. His is VERY nice.
I've only got a single 1000 going right now because I don't have enough plants to fill the space, but doing all the work myself, the total is going to be:
2x1000HPS Sunsystem X.... $350 each including all the toys
1x400HPS inside sun... I think it was like $150... it's for the first 2 weeks that the plants are in that room, I can just cram a whole bunch under there because they are still short and the light penetration isn't a problem.. it's suitable for only a 3x3 foot floor space, hung ~20 inches from the plants
Exhaust shit... 2 duct booster fans, $30 each at home depot, 16 feet of flexible duct hose, the good shit, not that plastic crap, $25 also at home dePOT, and a roll of duct tape. You have to wire that shit yourself.
Okay also a bunch of Panda film to make a light-lock entryway where I can keep additional fans... even though I have an active intake, there's a fan in the entryway blowing even more air around the edges of the film. That fan only comes on when the lights are on but the duct fans are on 24 hours a day to make sure temperatures remain not constant, but dont fluctuate more than 15 degrees.
The room that the closet is off has an air conditioner in it that is on a thermostat and runs when temps get above 70, and the closet stays below 85.
MR Overgrow I can't say this enough!! You need LOTS of airflow and LOTS of light.
ima go copy part of this post back into my log too.

Update,
All plants in both grow rooms got flushed 2 days ago.
This is the first time I have had to do a flush on coco and I found it to be far faster, cleaner, and generally less of a pain in the tuckas than soil.
I have been feeding aggressively... a little TOO aggressively... while I am not seeing much in the way of burns per se, there are definitely signs of lockouts such as red petioles, bright yellow streaks surrounding necrotic patches, plus signs of Nitrogen overdose such as upside-down canoe leaves and dull, dark green growth, plus visible white salt crystals on the surface of the medium.
This is interesting to me- in soil, those salt crystals just aren't that easy to see, but in coco they stand out and make it even easier to diagnose problems early.
Since the flush, the one plant that was practically dead from N tox has made a full recovery and new growth is looking not GREAT but it will survive no problem.
They will all be getting another flush this weekend just to be on the safe side, and then fed on a little gentler fert dosage.
Thx P!

I loveth thee. Your threads are so educational. Gives me lots to chew on. And also makes me feel hopelessly inadequate. But that's my problem.

[foxysox]

lol.. thread -S-? hee hee this is the only one i think.
ahhhhh grasshoppa!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Okay, thread, singular. It's still early in my world. Gray, gloomy, half a beer buzz left over from last night.

Hey, Foxy! How's it going? Looking good. Glad you are able to do that for a friend. It's good stuff. Ummm...so I am getting more and more interested in Coco...so I'm gonna have to keep doing research on that. Sounds like interesting stuff. Must hold much more water than hydrorocks! LOL Love all the strains you have going on. I'd love to puff on summadat. That new strain Foggy Day #4 seems like it's right up my alley. Sounds delicious. Is there a name for the #5? Mambo #5 perchance? That would be cool. Looking forward to seeing those in action. Keep posting pics!

Updates.
Moms, shown in closet, have been flushed, treated with CalMag, and prepped for cutting using my method of bloom fert instead of veg fert for the last couple feedings, and sprayed with wilt-pruf. I will also clip the fan leaves down to half while they are still on the living plant to give them time to heal before cutting and avoiding the potential for disease to enter while they are in the warm, humid cloning environment. It's just a precaution. I've done it both ways.
Started some more seeds; 3 bluemoonrocks, some more Yeag's MTF, a sage x, and a BOG unknown x of which the female showed very strong purple traits and a grape/grapefruit flavor, and was a very sturdy plant.
The closeup pics are of a Yeag's MTF less than a week from chop.
There are 4 plants in the flower room that will be coming down very soon.
Have some pics.
1- The closet
2- Some transplanting
3- A BOG unknown plant that grows .. uh... too fast, lol!!
4- Bonsai... Ain't she purdy?
5- Toxic Lemon

Bunch of flowering pics

Hey I really like the new photos. Did you get a new cam? I also wanted to ask, what makes your soil so 'brown'...is there coco in there? do you use less perlite than others or do you just add 50/50 perlite/vermiculite?

Thanks for sharing, Im gaga over the last pic the most. Hey, where can I get a flowering cannabis tree?????????????? LOL again, love it.

:jointsmile: Bree

[foxysox]

Cool.
It's the same cam, but I'm not using it under HID lighting, and I'm propping it on shit so it focuses better. It still sucks equally.
Medium... actually it is 100% coco, the Botanicare stuff. VERY good product. The reason you are seeing traces of perlite and shit in there is that those plants WERE transplanted out of dirt that was REALLY salty and toxic after those poor girls were in my friend's basement- you can see the bright yellow and burnt leaves on parts of the plants; that's left over from all that mess. I tried to wash the roots pretty well but there was enough left to make it look like I'm using some weird mix, lol.
Last pic... yeah it's a little deceiving; that plant is only about 20 inches tall from the soil surface but looks bigger in the pics. That one is a Plan B Collective Black Indica.

Check the pic that has my hand in it- It's a Yeag's Matanuska Thunderfuck that was topped and cut for clones earlier in its life. The internodes on that beast are less than an inch apart, and that's under conditions tht the other plants were showing quite a bit of stretch. VERY impressed with that strain. She's also showing GREAT frost. That one, a Black Indica, a Bogglegum, and a couple others are getting chopped tomorrow or Saturday.
