Badmofo's Basement Oasis

[Capt. C]

Sounds like we are on a pretty similar program, all I add is a bit of silica, epsom, and tribus, ends up right on 1.9 - 2.0 EC after pH adjustment.

Yeah it's been an extra hot summer so far, so I've been hitting 88f in the tent on a pretty regular basis.

I was thinking that on the heat. My first round in the new 4x4 has been flirting with 85 for a while but i got it back down some. I do use Recharge that i did not mention. Been a little challenging getting the new setup dialed in. My next round will be back in the old flower room witch will be a relief. I feel like a test pilot and i am ready to set this bird down ( 3 more weeks) . Once i get a few things tweaked my next round will be a little easier in there i think.

The deputy came down today.

Like 3/4 of the bridezilla was slumped down leaning on it, I tried to stake it up a bit better, but the tops are so heavy they are flopping back over. Might have to pull it next because it's on the verge of tipping the pot right over

 

[Badmofo529]

God damn am I sticky and stinky now lmao, hopefully I can scrub this bridezilla off my arms in the shower lol.

 

[Badmofo529]

Shit, guess the bridezilla is coming down today lmao, was hoping for a couple more days... The stakes leaning against the door was the reason it wasn't totally on the floor.




It was a pain in the ass getting in there to cut branches, should be a good yield, felt like each hangar was about 5lbs or more when I was moving them over to my drying spot.

The gp is flopping over pretty good now too, but I'm pretty much out of room in my drying spot for now, so hopefully it doesn't topple over before I can figure out where to put it.

Fucking covered in sticky stank from the bridezilla again lmao, it's definitely the loudest of the bunch.

Damn them girls are ready to come out of the oven! Sounds like one of those Herbs Now drier would work well in your program. I ordered one a couple days ago. If you get a chance check out the new info on them here someone started talking about them in the drying and curing threads.I am not sure as i have not used one yet but i am ordering the expansion trays when they come in. Out of stock right now.

I'll check it out, I might pick one up once I see how you guys like it. I'm planning on building a tiered rack for hanging and using the 4x4 for drying once I get a room up (switching to a perpetual cycle would probably help too).

I had actually seen these units before and did not pay it much mind until the guys on here started talking about it. These units can really add some flexibility to the drying operation. It will help me in the sense that i don't have to harvest everything at one time i could take a plant out of the flower room early if it is ready and keep the others going. One machine without the tray extension is one square foot of space and that will accommodate 6 dried ozs and double that with the extension. Space is always a premium at my grow site.

Cut down the grease's pieces today, and trimmed the deputy up, wish it would have dried slower, but not much I can do about it. Forgot to snap a pic of the greases pieces before I chopped it, was in a bit of a hurry.

no problem. nug pics after.

 

[Badmofo529]

Been busy getting shit in order for my room build, I'll be more active once I get that buttoned up, but for now a peek in on the girls waiting for their new room.

I made this new veg cab double the hight of the other one because they kept running into the light, so they decided to grow faster so they can hit the light still lmao. I'm sure they will be running into it by the time I get them moved.

 

[Badmofo529]

All 4 walls are framed up , gonna try to get the partition wall and the door done tomorrow. Then it's time to add some outlets and put up the wall sheathing and paint.

I feel like I've been making good progress so far for someone who has never done this before, and can only work about 4-5 hrs a day before my body starts to give out. Normally my projects never go this smoothly lmao.

 

[Badmofo529]

Took some quick pics of the progress so far. I'm almost done, just gotta finish up sealing the seams in the wall sheathing, paint, finish the transition door, staple some reflectix up on the ceiling, and then it's time to hang lights and fans and move in.



It's not perfect, but I think it's coming together pretty good so far.

 

[Badmofo529]

Should be all good on power too. I have a dedicated 15a and 20a breaker for the room (old dedicated deep freeze circuit that's not being used anymore, and an old pool pump that is not being used either), and I tied an outlet into a 15a breaker that is only used for the basement lighting, so it will work perfect for running the fans in the flower room.

 

[Badmofo529]

God damn, I hate painting lmao. One coat done, probably gonna need two more.

 

[Badmofo529]

Got a few more coats of paint on. Was gonna screw some 2x4's with eye bolts up to the joists for the flower lights, but I think I might go pick up some uni-strut instead. Seems like a more elegant solution, should give me more flexibility with light position, and it's not super expensive.

 

[Badmofo529]

I should have put plastic down and used the Wagner that's been collecting dust. My hands are killing me lol.

 

[Badmofo529]

Got the reflectix up in the veg side. Paint has been drying all day so I figured I would move the plants in since they were totally overgrown in the cab. They are a bit rough looking since they have been neglected and running into the light, and some of them don't really want to stand up on their own. They were packed in so tight that's they were all kind of holding each other up.

I'm gonna have to do some hack and slash, and some super cropping to get them short enough to flower. Might put a net in too.

 

[Badmofo529]

About 95% done, got the partition door made and painted, it's just gotta get put up, and that's about all that's left to do. Ignore all the shit hanging, it's the tails of some ratchet hangars and the power cords that I didn't feel like wrapping up tonight lol.



Gotta get some shit ordered for some more lights now, and I still want to make some tables with pond liner to get everything off the ground, but I can do that for the next cycle. I need to pick up a 10" carbon filter as well, but I can at least move all the plants over and do some pruning, and get flower started for now.

 

[Badmofo529]

Got a shelf slapped up on the veg side for clones to hang out on. Those are the runty plants that got shaded out in the veg cab.


Partition door is up, but i guess it was a freshly unbranded set of 1x3 because this motherfucker wasn't bowed when I bought it. It's just about perfect all the way around, but the bottom corner is all warped out. I'll figure something out to seal it up.



Took a whole bunch off of the six that fit in my light footprint, and I'll get them flipped as soon as I get that door sealed up.

 

[Badmofo529]

I got some bud shots from the last harvest since they've been curing for a while now. No flash, taken under my veg light.

Deputy, ended up with about 3 zips.


Greece's pieces, ended up with about 3 as well


Bridezilla, pumped out 8 zips


I didn't weigh the BBC because it got chopped and straight to the freezer. Not a great yield, but not too bad for the first cycle switching to a new fert regiment.
