Cheap filter box View attachment 158411
Drop a filter on top, couple pieces of tape if you wish. It's blowing through the hood on the 315cmh that's in the 2x4 tent.

Bluebell and Chamomile are popping.

Moved everything into the shed for sulfur burn tonight.
Click to expand...
Forgot to note veg and bansai moms and dads got topdress yesterday 1T 50:50 Dr. Earth 4-4-4:vermicompost. The burn went well last night, I'll move everything back after it warms up and I have a chance to clean the tent.

Need to get replacement cuts taken, I moved the others too soon, all the shaking kinda f'd em, I shoulda just put them in the tent to begin with instead of letting them sit in the room a few days, then moving them.

Power went out for a few hours yesterday so I didn't get the last chance / replacement cuts until this morning.

Was ready to get then generator out but decided to grab a bite to eat first, glad I did cause power came on as I was pulling out the driveway.

Did a little lst but focused more on pruning today. IPM day moved to Sunday cause the sulfur burn. Next week I'll add botanigard. Epsom early next week (debating mag phos instead tho) and cal carb Friday or so.

Need to do a Bt treatment too but fg pressure has been real, real low, essentially nonexistent in the 3x3 that had mustard seed added.

IPM day, 3/4 gal - 2 drops thermx70, 2ml Si, ~3/4T Vinerate.

Took a bunch of fan leaves from veg last night.

Will probably start topping soon.

Also want to note a few days ago I adjusted the carrots on both beds by 1/2 indicator arrow to allow a little more saturation. I did the same again today, and will keep an eye on them to be sure they don't overwater. All is going well with the system I just want to vary the moisture a little and get a better feel for if they are getting the right water.

Foliar feed 1/2 gal - 2 drops Thermx70, 2ml Si, 1/4t MagPhos given last night after lights out, used a little more than a 1/4gal.

They were drooping about a 1/2 hour before lights out so I will be raising them little by little.

Pruning nodes for apiacal only growth.

I do like this twist/pull/pinch method I talked about last run. The best description I can offer is getting it right vs. getting it wrong is its kinda like dislocating a finger vs. breaking it. Get it right and it leaves it cleaner than shears, less sap.

I'll keep pruning the ones I can grab onto over the next 7-10 days as they pop out.

A little more lst.

FG pressure is increasing in the veg tent. I jagged up the watering recently being in a rush. Mixed in some mustard seed with cinnamon and diatomaceous earth. Nothing exact, about 50:50 cinnamon:de then added maybe 10-15% mustard. Sprinkled this on top and put some stickey traps out, will let everything dry back and try to get them evened out, it was mostly the late transplants that I was overwatering.

Humidifiers are starring to work in the 2x4 tent

Cal carb foliar 1/2gal water 1/2T xtreme gardens cal carb.

You'll see these spots for a bit.

Day 14, hopefully this is last big branch I'll need to prune.

Will probably go for the last bit of "lowers" pruning aka modified lolipop tomorrow before I apply botanigard with Sunday's ipm foliar. Then in about 2 or 3 weeks I'll do another sulfur burn.

How is that heat tape ?
Can you select the temp?

They are supposed to be automatic, this setup was running hot so I have it on a separate thermostat for a seed starter heat mat to prevent the over heating. You'd probably be just as well off with a section of gutter deicer, this stuff was more flexible tho.

Those look like Wolf prints !!!! (Mainly because of the size compared to your hand) when they walk, the back paw goes into the track the front paw made.

Not likely, plus I don't see the claw, cats retract them, dogs, bears you will see a dot out in front, looking at wolf prints I gather they are the same. As far as what it is likely to be, wolf isn't high on my list. Ther is a neighborhood cat up there tho.

I am 6'8", the print is about 4in wide.

My fault bro; it had a canine look to it.... then again I've only had one coffee so a Giraffe could have escaped a zoo and I'd have been like "oh cool a skittles pony!"

In my shallow dive I thought maybe Bobcat or lynx but stride and size don't line up. Also, 3 lobes on rear pad vs. 2 for wolf/coyote, pretty sure I see 3. The tail swoop too, idk if a wolf would do that?

It's possible the smaller ones are different species? IDK Wierd to me they would be side by side. Also, looks like both of them were hunting in another spot, looked like one climbed a tree. Tracks up to the tree, a big spot, then on the other side of the tree tracks going away.


But a wolf, a wolf would probably be news worthy, not impossible tho.

The way they put their back paw into the front paw track may have deformed into a third? Cats normally have an almost straight line for tracks, but the size of those is kind of nuts. Man if that's a Cat paw track Don't let me hang out there LOL, I'll die trying to pet something I shouldn't.

It's a little hard to tell, but it looks like the picture with your hand as reference has distinct little claw marks? I mean if the snow melted at all, or other variables, could also make it look a bit distorted though.

Only thing is that tree path you mentioned; I don't THINK Wolves would do that but that's something I'm not sure about. Bears and Cats of course won't hesitate to climb a tree, but I feel confident in that not being a bear as the claw marks would be pretty noticeable.

Got a trail cam ?
