Sporty's Den of Iniquity

[sportyridr]

Getting around to my journal finally...

I guess this thread is where I'll hang my wares...at time of writing here is the current mess:

4 x 4 x 80 Viparspectra tent. This was the 3rd one I ordered, all were different brands. They are all crap in this price range. Got tired of sending them back. Don't need the best tent just a bigger one as the room is dark anyway and I light with green light if I enter. That said a hint of quality would be nice nowadays for a reasonable price.

I have & use 3 smaller tents - a 20 x20 x 4, a 20 x 36 x 5 are set up plus an under the stairs closet that I use for anything & everything depending. I have a 32 x 32 x 5 (for drying I'm thinking) not in use that was replaced by the 4 x 4 x 7 (Been nothing bad luck and shitty mojo + my own screwups since buying the 4x4 I've been tempted to set up the 32 x 32 again and take down the bad luck 4x4 lol.

2- SideKing 250's(240w) LED's plus my old Kingbrite 240w LED for 720w total. Someday this year I hope to put a killer light in but for now we'll do the best we can with what we got!

Thanks man, I'm gettin back to it, just takes some time

Crazy weather....cold. really cold, bitterly cold, average, above average, way the f above average keeps things interesting...

 

[sportyridr]

Sleeping on the job this morning ?

 

[sportyridr]

Little update, slowly getting things back together again...might even get back in the 4 x 4 in a few weeks.

Closet
Northern Lights auto that I should have topped. The last few have been short and runty. Not this time.




In behind the NL Auto is this Twenty20 Glue Sniffer getting ready to turn it on in week 2. This tough gal barely skipped a beat from getting the potassium overdose a month ago.



20 x 36 Tent

6 Pure Landrace testers from 5packgenetics on the left 2nd week flower. Week 7 flower for the Friedrich testers from 5packgenetics on the right.






Then there's my baby Malawi if there is such a thing all the way to the right. I chucked a seed in a houseplant pot and it germed and took off. It'll take forever so we'll just bounce her around til she says quit.



20 x 20 tent

Were getting a few new started and trying to save a few in here so we can get back to the 4 x 4. Trying to save the Purple Punch - Barney's, cuts are Chernobyl - Bob Bitchin's, Gasper - Inhouse and a Glue Sniffer - Twenty20 from my Potassium overdose a while back.

From seed: Purple Banana Cake - Brisco's, Slurricane #7 S1, Peanut Putter Breath x two - Blimburn, Cali Bay Dream - Garden of Green, LSD - Barney's, Blackberry Kush - Blimburn, Ghoulie - Esos



Also today is a good day, why you ask...let me show ya



Thank you @Dino Party for the seeds and goodies. Wife highjacked the damn coozy already lol. I'm gonna get a Hairy Legs started as well.

 

[sportyridr]

20 x 36 is doing fine, trying to move things along, got the light a bit low for a day until I saw the leaf curl. Happy it wasn't worse honestly.

'Francois' testers (afghan landrace) on the left are finally starting to come into flower and get going.

In the middle the 'Friedrich' testers (dos si do x arise) are heading into week 9, front plant I'm waiting for the right color trichs. The one in back is hanging on. Hitting them with some KoolBloom to remind them to finish the next couple days.

My two limb Malawi on the right is stacking up top like crazy, last one I grew finished in 11 weeks flowering. Hope she's one puff weed like the last one. She got a lil tip burn as I started bloom nutes and she does NOT like all that potassium so I switched up to str8 Jack's with some flowering Cal/Mag to bump Ca levels early.



Closet is coming along, sure wish I had topped this Northern Lights Auto now at 47 days in. Got a ways to go yet. She got a bit of a trim this morning as did the two other closet plants.



Behind her I have this Twenty20 'Made of Honor' which came back from the foliar overdose caused by the shithead grower that near killed all of em. Not alot left but she's got four nice stacks she's working on so I'll take that. Trimmed her a bit today and took a couple cuttings to root for whenever This stuff is good smoke, will be nice to have a lil again.



And we got this Twenty20 'Glue Sniffer' that almost never skipped a beat from the aforementioned foliar above. I'm anxious to try this strain. I've not yet had any Gorilla Glue mostly because that's what everyone else is growing. I understand Tony Greens has a killer Gorilla Glue cross that I would like to try sometime.



Future 4 x 4 plants in the 20" x 20"

From Seed:
Purple Banana Cake - Briscoes (fastest growing gal in there
Slurricane #7 S1 - InHouse
Peanut Butter Breath x 2 - Blimburn
Blackberry Kush - Blimburn
LSD - Barneys
Cali Bay Dream - Garden of Green
Hairy Legs - Dino's
Purple Punch - Barney's

Bummed that the two Ghoulie's - Eso's didn't fly (germed but never popped the surface, one grew in a loop below surface, the other stalled below surface. We'll get em next time.)

Cuts
Gasper - InHouse
Chernobyl - Bob Bitchen's
Gorilla Sniffer - Twenty20



Ya know, there's a sort of warm and fuzzy 'F U' Ma Nature feeling goin on for me when things are nice n green inside and it's like this outside. Not to complain though as it's been one of the easiest winters in the last 12 or so years here in my little part of the world.

Whoa! That is a huge indoor auto.
? Hope she smokes ?

It's going to be a nice plant, the last one some time ago was pretty big but it was topped...It's not as big as the pic has you thinking it is . Here's a shot from the kitchen table yesterday when she was out for a trim. It's 42" plus pot so it's at 4 feet. It's got me hanging lights at an angle to try and get as many lumens on her as I can. Good lesson on why to top plants inside. For shits n giggles is ok, but now it's a hassle at times with that monster she's trying to grow up top.



Thanks for stoppin by!

haha...prob should have moved the pizza box

Great pics and excellent documentation. It’s like I’m right there w you. Damn what a fkn monster auto. I used to not top either to try n get that one huge ass cola, but quickly learned that topping was the way to go especially when running 150+ at a time lol. Much different in the greenhouse, I was presented w a buncha other issues, mainly the supercharged growth that the greenhouse provided. Even w topping they hit the ceiling so I had to bushwhack TF outta them. The next run I’ll probably start a couple months later, like in May vs March.

Thanks man, slowly I am getting back on the grow wagon lol. I've topped every Auto I've grown (not that many) and thought I'd let this one go thinking it would stay small like alot of Auto's but here we are. I have thought about bending her over but the stem is getting pretty stout, thought best to leave alone for now.

I can't imagine 150 untopped plants in my head or just looking after that many

haha ? ya it certainly became a chore really quick. Got in over my head at times. I love variety, and everyone I donated to loved it as well. IDK if I’ll ever do that again but it was a cool experience.

If we ever get legal I'm planning at least a "short fence row" of the stinkiest smelliest foul smelling stuff I can find, this will at least make me feel better about all the hours and hours a certain neighbors spends outside with his noise pollution in 1st fkn gear, like all day, then a full day of trimming, blowing...honestly it's insane...hope my stuff burns his nostrils it's so acrid when he's out there constantly. That'll teach em lol. Oh and he's on the west side of me so he'll get it all right up in his grill and his mowers grill too

I've always wondered what these types do in the winter when they can't yard work 24/7 and their ears aren't constantly ringing from the noise pollution ?‍♂️

 

[TopShelfTrees]

Nice journal/thread! Very detailed, and a fellow road warrior I see as well. Much respect ??Curious if you’ve ever run Blimburn before? I have a couple packs that have been sitting here for some time I’d love to pop.

Hey everyone...this weeks rundown and goin's on

20 x 20 tent is filling quickly, my cuts are also starting to take off. Been feeding them all Jack's Clone/Seedling Mix with some Microbes added. Switching to Jack's 321 recipe with Silica & Mr. Fulvic this week. I'm looking to up pot all this coming weekend and move into the 4 x 4 and get em happy & flip em.

lg corner plant - Purple Punch - Barney's, Clones are Chernobyl - Bob Bitchin's, Gasper - Inhouse and a Glue Sniffer - Twenty20

Plants from seed : Purple Banana Cake - Brisco's, Slurricane #7 S1, Peanut Putter Breath x two - Blimburn, Cali Bay Dream - Garden of Green, Blackberry Kush - Blimburn, LSD from Barney's doesnt know if it wants to live or die.



As for the 4 x 4, I have upgraded to a 800 gph pump, I noticed quite a drop in pressure from about 1/3 left towards empty when using all the lines even with the Raindrip Pressure Regulator. My concern here is in heavy flower we don't need to be shorting plants on feed. We'll see if this is an improvement from the 400 gph pump. Also moving exhaust to exterior before this grow gets underway. I am thinking ahead for the warmer weather where I vent to the Attic into the 8" Carbon Filter plus it makes alot of extra room with all that stuff outside the tent It wont be so easy when things are full up in there in a month or so.



The 20 x 36 tent is chugging along, left & middle are Afghan Landrace testers at start of Week 4,
The Do-si-dos x Arise testers in the right middle are heading to week 9. Currently getting 1/2 strength nutes + KoolBloom as I wait out their finish.
Right side is the Malawi goin to Week 5 doing her thing and stacking. She won't yield much but not much of her is needed at one time.

 

[sportyridr]

The Closet: The untopped Northern Lights Auto is just mostly a pain but it looks cool with her big beanstalk. She's at 75 days now, last one a year or so back went 120 days...ya wayyyy too long.
The Made of Honor - Twenty20 on the left is a survivor so I have most just let her be, I am rooting a couple of cuts to have.
The Glue Sniffer - Twenty20 on the right is a beauty and just starting to get greasy and turning the frost on now.

Thanks for stoppin by!

Thank you, takes me forever to put one of these updates together with all the farting around lol. Respect back at ya, greasy side down!

As for Blimburn I'm taking a chance, honestly a google search and reviews are not the greatest but I wanted the Future 1 strain they are making instead of ordering overseas as they are in the US. Hope they're decent. ?‍♂️ I should have an answer for you in a couple months ??

 

[sportyridr]

Chopped the Do-si-do testers at 74 days.


Reloading for both tents. We had power out for two days last weekend and most of these popped and stretched in the dark b4 we got back to normal so they're a bit wobbly. Gotta a bunch of everybody in here, you may recognize some names...
Midsicle s1, Purple Banana Cake, Slurricane #7, Ghoulie, Chernobyl s1, Gasper, Blackberry Kush, Hairy Legs and others



2 x 3 Tent chugs along with the Indica Landrace testers, lost one to herm this week so down to just 2 of em and they both are seriously lackin in bud size here in almost week 7.




The Malawi is lookin rough, too high EC from small pot and sucking up run off has burnt things up some, been flushing to help get her to the end. She'll be ugly at the finish lol.



This Mendo Twenty20 Glue Sniffer has been bouncing around so I just went ahead and put her in here. I think you can grow the strain about anywhere. Sure is forgiving and just wants to grow. She's takin off and the nutes need bumped.



The closet has been kickin it up a notch since last post.

The Northern Lights Auto is hard to miss She's at 95 days, trichs are getting milky.




Rest of the Closet plants below...
