Badmofo's Basement Oasis

[Badmofo529]

Got the timers set for 12/12, today is officially day 1. Everything looks nice and happy and healthy, they seem to be responding positively to the zeus juice. I would like the temperature to be a little bit higher, but they should do ok.

How did I manage to start flower on a fresh page lol.

In other news I accidentally topped the ECSD s1 today... Was gonna adjust how it was tied down to even out the branches and it snapped off as soon as I tried to move it.

Just making room for more tops is all lol

It has some pretty vigorous side branching, so where it snapped off there was already some decent growth, so it shouldn't slow it down too much. I think it knew better than me, it's less crowded and more even now lol.

Drained and bleached out the R/O res, and cleaned up the pump last night (it was getting clogged from the mosquito dunks), and mixed up a fresh jar of silica this morning. Dropped the lights down some as well, they are about 30" from the plants so I don't have hoist them up every day. Hopefully I can get away with only adjusting them once.



Here's that ECSD s1 I snapped the top off of.

Thanks for the compliment, hopefully we will be seeing a little bit more variety in here next year...

Variety is the spice!

Did a quick little defoliation. Had some moisture gathering where leaves were overlapping. Seeing a slight claw, gonna drop the EC down some on them and they should correct. I'm thinking it's because it's only running 76-78f in there.

After this run I think I might pick up a day/night controller and a baseboard or radiator heater for the winter. I probably won't need it during lights on once the room is fully lit, but it gets chilly when they're off.

That temp thing is what im chasing now too. Im using my exhaust fans now but that wont work when they get bigger because of humidity.
The radiator heater sounds like a good idea.

Yeah, part of the problem is that they are transpiring so much moisture into the air the fan has to keep kicking on before the temp creeps up. Hopefully the defol helps some with that. It might get better once it cools down a bit more and the furnace helps out the dehuey a bit.

I have a spare 45pt dehuey I might try stuffing in the room to help out the 70pt I have running for the whole basement. I gotta check the amp draw on it and make sure it will be ok first though.

Day 7

Yea buddy!
Love them big ol fans!!

 

[Badmofo529]

This one seems a little confused lmao

 

[Badmofo529]

Flower room already looks like I never defoliated, my back is kind of sore today so I think I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to pull some more off. It looks like the light above the deputys might need to come up a few inches, and the other ones need to be dropped a few inches.

No more claw on the new growth on everything but the greases pieces (still clawing a tiny bit), been feeding at about 1.7-1.9 ec (depending on if they get/ the amount of silica/zeus juice) and dropped the cal-nit from 16 to 14 grams (for 8 gallons of water).

Gotta put one of these up for it lol

 

[Badmofo529]

Snapped a couple pics for day 10, good thing I got a wide angle camera on my phone lol, it struggles with white balance though.

 

[Badmofo529]

These are gonna end up a pretty decent size for about a 3 week veg.

Time to get stoned, put on some tunes, and yoink some leaves...
