BH’s 2021 late winter lab experience

[BH]

Updates!
GR#1= VEG , GR#2 = Flower room
* Moved all plants that were going into flower that weren't already today, yaaay
* Uppotted all but the runts/todays transfer yesterday from 1/4 gallon to 1 gal pot, Applied "bennie brew" @ every 5 gallons: 600ppm base + Seagreen @5ml + Rootamentary @5ml+ Regalia @75ml + RO Bio-force @heaping Tablespoon
* GR#2 All uppotted plants (1/4 gal to 1 gal) were sprinkled : 1 teaspoon roots organic Oregonism XL + 2 teaspoons Insect frass
* GR#1 aeroponic clones uppotted 50% to 1/4 gal "1st stage", rest in the next day -3 days depending on roots
* Weekly IPM , Both rooms sprayed with total from both 1 gallon: Grandevo WDG @ 2 tablespoons + Seagreen 1ml + Regalia @ 30ml
* Got my 6th QB (HLG 350R) , plan is gonnea fill in the gap between the two rows of of 650r's and fill that with 2 330/350 watt QB's, even if i run em all at 75% max, great to have more over-lapping-light on plants vs not in direct getting a degrade in overall yields because of such. plants want as much as they can take , not good to be in the shade for them good budz
* GR#2 CO2 on @ 650ppm as of now, will raise like light dim every few days ( light dim = 30%)

I’ll use the songs lyrics and abuse it, listen to the lyrics and think of it like a female plant vs human woman.

Great homegrown loving song

“
Dancing to the groove like it just ain’t nothing
They ain’t never seen nothing quite like you
Long stem legs in your cowboy boots
Throwing back whiskey straight, no water
Girl there ain’t nothing hotter

[Chorus]
Ooh, I dig the way that you move
You shake it down to your roots
Did your momma teach you how to do that thing you do
Yeah, nothing sweeter than wild
I’ll take a sip of that smile
I’ll bet the boys at home can’t leave you alone
You little homegrown honey, honey, honey
You’re so money, money, money
You got a country road Carolina soul
Baby you’re just so homegrown”

* plan is have all 1 gal plants will be up-potted tomorrow to city picker beds or the ones in 1/4 gal i will up-pot to 1-3 gal and have a "runt sog"and let them battle out or be replacements for any males. once thats done, plan is to put the two 300+ watt qb's inbetween the rows of 650r's 4x8's.

* Added Rice hulls to 50% city picker medium, coco is a silica hoe plus with worm poop and dry amend being top dressed its nice to add some aeration besides perlite.
* Raised CO2 to 800ppm, Turned on both Timber Fatty's (2) and dim is same as hlg (40%) and timber led's height set at 18 inches, hlg 30 inches from canopy
* Up-potted many plants today 1 gal to city picker (movable grow bed), applied 1 tablespoon per bed of RO Organism XL ON ROOTS ( sprinkled on roots and sidewalls of where its being applied.
* IPM : Tomorrow apply both rooms (1.25 GAL) Venerate XC @ 2.5 tablespoons + Seagreen @ 1.25ml + Regalia @ 40ml

* Bennie brew applied to all dry plants and anything up-poted today/tomorrow : brew = (100 gal) Raw Silica @ 2 tablespoon + RO Grow-N @ 100 ml+ Epsom @ 1/2 cup + Terp tea Grow @ 4 cups ( 1st time using this in coco, gonna re-apply after all are up-potted top dressed than reapplied every 1-2 weeks) + Worm Casting @ 8 cups + Insect frass @ 4 cups + Pond zyme @ 2 tablespoon + BTI 8% @ 60ML & Southern AG fungi @ 10ml

Update !
* Installed and put both 330-350 watt QB's (2 total) in-between the 650R QB rows, perfect ( might even buy 2 more and have a full coverage lights by no matter where in sea of green )

Environment:
* Light dim 40-50% on qb's/cob vero29
* Installed wireless camera in room, put electric tape on light on front of it. will check for light when activated when "off cycle" before flip of room and anything else that can be a "light leak".
* CO2 % (GR2) @ 1050PPM
* Temps: canopy 80-83f "lights on"
* VPD: 1.0-1.6 average
* adjustments :might need to turn on the humidifier once turning up led's and resulting in more a/c and since plants will be sucking and getting bigger. more energy baby all ways.
+
Need to uppot rest of 1 gal that are not "runts" into city picker beds and put the rest of "runts " onto "1st 4x8" and ethier uppot to 3-5 gal right before flower.

* weekly Bennie Brew: (100 gal) Raw silica @ 2 tablespoon + RO Soul Grow N @125ML + Epsom Salt @ 1 cup (increased 50% from early-mid veg stages) + Pondzymes @ 2 tablespoons + 8% liquid BTI @ 60ML Terp tea grow @ 4 cups ( first applications for organic bases) + PS Seagreen @ 100ml + PS Rootamentary @ 100ml + Insect poop @ 2 cups + Worm poop @ 4 cups + RO Bio-force @ 1cup & Southern AG Fungi 10ml

* All plants also got their 1-2 week dry main amendments : 10 gal pot size (city picker is that) = Terp Tea Grow & Bloom 1 Tablespoon each + Worm poop @ 1 cups + RO Oregonism XL @ 1 tablespoon

This pheno only has this "half leaf " from green to yellow , since its not a clone, maybe its a seed born virus cause its only on one branch and its been like this from start of seedling form . I cleaned my scissors and played doctor, removed whole branch and cleaned scissors and my hands. I guess it will be interesting if it comes back on the plant.

rest of the plant is dark green, oh runts or virus infected, goobers lol


Front view/City pickers.. oh baby I like:


Big gals section ( all clones/prev round ), funny thing is if you watched the previous indoor round of my plants and if you look at that giant plant that i even had to ziplock it 1.5-2ft down down cause it would of been like 8.5-9ft tall and it was taking over like 30-50% of the whole 4x8 lol, Cowboy Cookies #1 is the girl. Thing is if you see my current round and see that 1ft+ taller plant, topped her again yesterday and she's prolly 5ft+ in height , wonder how big this version of CC#1 will be cause it def wasn't that big before flip lol. Fun

Do you move the pots around for maintenance or just reach in? Massive garden my man

Do you move the pots around for maintenance or just reach in? Massive garden my man

The city picker beds were such a advantage vs w/e size pot and on flood tables ( it gives me quite a few extra inches too)
to answer your question, if i want to work anywhere in the room, i made it so theres always enough room, ethier through my walkways on each side or by my rez, once i have one row on ethier side of the walkway ( which is so easy as long as they are align u can even push em with ur foot, like 4+ at a time lol)

It makes it so you can hermie scan, ipm scan, de-leaf, harvest without being under the lights or crowded in sea-a-green and even be able to do 360 view points and work on the plants. also key is you can lego your plants based on size so if a plant outstretches each other all you gotta do is remove em to proper sized plant isle.

last round i did 16 city picker beds (1st time) to see the compare, than all flood tables on that round i did 5 gal on two 4x8's and one bed to compete a 220 coco/perlite bed and the city pickers kicked ass plus you could see the biosphere was def more stable being the pot isn't being hit by direct light and also a big advantage is you don't have to remove the water, it has a pvc pipe on one corner and ur dehumdication will suck it out naturally ( if it goes over the amount they designed it, it will squirt the access onto the floor, i barely ever do). the pot itself for pickers is 10 gallons so I've been trying 1-3 plants and putting same pheno same strains to see a compare of what is the key in a 10 gal organic bed thats coco.

the way you don't have to do run off removal like in a flood table is theres a plastic divider on the bottom so it lets the bed have a few gallon holder before you would ever have the medium suck it up. i never once saw plants receive to much and all i use for giving my plants is ethier pitcher or pond pump + 50ft food grade hose + water controller for wand & 3ft dramm commercial wand with no end head so it acts like a hose ( just gives me 3ft of reach)

i have done beds in coco, 1-10 gallon and multi strains every time. 5 gal for each plant in a easy watering and movable bed is perfect for me. otherwise its too hard for me to achieve perfect lego level plants over flip . look at some barely any stretch flip and some 4x lol

Update!

weekly Adjustments & changes and anything else that has happened since last time i logged:

* GR2: Last day of " Veg stage " today!
* Construction/modifcation in room: Put 3 4x8 flood tables onto of each other, got no space otherwise , def gave me more room in lung room and end wall. jesus that took me 2 hours and a few times almost dropping it on lights or my sea of green. thank god thats over
* Trellis and SROG will be installed ASAP, had to wait for the lights to be higher than my bamboo or polls lol
* Been topping/lollipooping whole garden and jesus the XL even after 6-1ft chopping they are still 5ft . looking good <3
* Up-potted (13) 1gal to 5 gal ( mostly feminized ) + killed/replaced (2 in one bed aka citypicker) of Pig Whistle #3 (killed em) to Triangle Pupil ( 2 total, diff pheno's), I notice every Pig whistle isn't liking my PPFD and even high co2 and the leafs are curling and its the only one ( all phenos of it) that seem to be hater. sad for being at 40% and plants before this stage looked great. just shows you gotta grow what works in your environment . Pig Whistle unless shows good buds like first round .. good bye
* Raised 2nd row of 4x8 HLG 650r's (tallest row so far, but going to move them to last row so there isn't cross light being that closet line is shortest , gonna do that tomorrowish
* Installed (2) UVA30 to my 650r's, started em 2 days ago, fuck it. needed to be done lol
* CO2 % raised to 1300 ppm
* NO dim raising on Led's PPFD (40% currently) +4 more led's turned on ,making 10 total timbers on ( last ones on runts table)

Ha ha.

nothing wrong with your own lingo eh

it always drove my mom crazy when I was a kid that I would edit or modify the correct wording to “my version “

I loved to mess with her about that and anyone who noticed I guess it cemented that portion in

Update will be soon ( just gotta do some clones done before I can “rest”)
