@OldG i meant to say something to you the other day but i am just now remembering. LOL With your volcano are you using the dosing capsules made by Stortz & Bickle? If not you need to get some . They make using any of there vaporizer products much better. I keep a jar of soapy water that i just throw the used ones in when done. Once i fill the jar i wash them all at once( basically just rinsing them off good). They are not expensive and really help keeping the vaping unit it self clean. They even have storage units for the capsules you can make up a bunch at one time if you like.

I get them a dozen at a time...but i found a wholesale club...1kg (2.2 pounds) of jello powder for 4.50. So im going there on the weekend and loading up.

I eat a lot of gummies. I love them.

And thanks @Capt. C I will look up the dosing capsules...i dont really care about efficiency...believe it or not i pack that thing right full and then run it...

No that doesnt sound like me at all.....turn the volume to 11

The last batch of gummies i used decarbed hash and buds...100mg per tiny gummy...6 of those will rock you good!

Dubstep and Purple Punch. I was going to pollinate this pair but i picked a different pair. The other pair were both put in bloom feb 13

Godbud pollen.

The dubstep i selected has very nice side branching and compact internode distance. I want a plant that will remain shorter so i can set up 2 totes in the back of my bloom room running floraflex in totes (drain to waste). I will build something. I will start with drip emitters to see if i like it. I have bits to do it in my spares.

This purple punch is going to be big.

This was a busy week for gardening. Now that i am retired i focus my attention on getting things just right.
Today i will finish off the 3rd flood and drain unit and put it in bloom. I will keep 1 in veg and 2 in bloom (along with other bubblers and coco pots).
Maybe a bubbler too. I have a 12 gallon Blowes tote and i think those are my favorite sized bubblers. this one will be for a single pot to make a monster.

I soaked some White Fire 43 from Pirates of the Emerald Triangle. Sounds pretty tasty to me. I am running regs because i have a bunch i never tasted and i am on a quest to try every flavor ! I was on the fence about it but i will get copper chem going later.

The pair that will receive the pollen when they are ready.

The stretch will happen now. Dubstep stays pretty compact compared to PP but i am hoping for a squat one to fit in the flood and drains.
And some shots of Greases Pieces. The res is at 1010 TDS. i will change it out in a week and am watching for tip burn. Next rez change i will reset it to 800

I was just thinking....the one good thing about the timing of this is....all you will ever see are my GREAT plants!!!

No sense drudging up what i started out doing....lets assume it was like this :D

Ba ha ha....i find the best way to learn stuff is to fuck it all up....and then dont repeat and figure out how to repair.

Works in marriage too :D

The next bubbler. It holds 2 of those lids you use on 5 gallon bubblers. So i can move them around. I will be doing a lot of water systems for the next round. AN and really keeping up with peroxide is keeping things from funking up.

And i used gorilla tape to hide the yellow and cover the sharp edges of the cutouts. Cutout with a brand new utility knife blade.

These lids are in the bubbler.

That RO machine is a life saver. i went through 8 X 5 gallon water bottles over the last 2 days. The last one is filling back up now.
45 gallons of RO water on standby.
I will get one more of these totes so when i have to do water swaps i can just put the tray into the new one with the water already in it. then deal with the old one and clean it and ready for next swap.

With bubble buckets a spare 5 gallon bucket is essential to make life easy. It is a real pain in the ass doing water swaps without a spare.

And i will put a 1 lid hole in the spare. :D So i can grow that tree i am saving for a contest. Now i have the machine. :D

A 10 gallon bubble bucket with a single plant would scrog that 32 special very well.

I went shopping...:D

2 X 18 inch floor fans (Princess auto on sale half price for 40 bucks).
a dozen 1 gallon pots for sexing some regs in a tent.
the 2 port air pump and 1 air stone to make that bubbler work. And baskets without 5 gallon lids. :D Slick!
1 roll of floraflex line because...man thats some nice flexible quarter line for my gear. And its pretty and green. Like my complexion.


Made a giant pot of leftover soup but this one was half a fancy chicken fajita sauce from texas i made...and i added an elpaso chilli pack so it is.....Chicken Tortilla Soup.

Man its awesome...ever since i retired the food amped up to the power of 10. Everyone is gaining weight and i am a very happy dude. Cooking is art. And watching someone taste what you know is good is one of the best feelings there is.

:D

And i bout 2 ridiculous lobsters...i am missing mom and dad and home...so its lobster time. OMG it was pricy but i got 2 lobsters 1 is just over 4 pounds and 1 is 3 3/4.

You know what goes with it....butter and lots of it.

And a loaf of fresh bed from a local bakery.

Life is good. I had a great day of remembering someone i lost. First time in forever i wasn't sad.

Every day is rebirth...the past should not haunt you. Ever.

There is a batch of grape, a baatch of cherry and a batch that is one lime one grape and one cherry (actually a double batch).

In the garden i have dubsteps bushing out like crazy. I took a few cuts because 3 of them are real beauties for my garden.
I see a lot of dubstep in my future. this will take up half the bloom room in 3 weeks. But stuff is moving out in 3 weeks.

Once you get it moving and stop panicking it just keeps coming. I do have fungus gnats but they met my new fans and cant land anywhere. I do like how fans build sturdeier plants and higher RH wont fuck it up with great air flow. The new fans are up to 3300 CFM...holy shit thats 10 times more than my scrubbers. I put them on low.

amazon they are 85....on sale for a few more days at Princess Auto
18 inch high velocity floor fans. 2 year warranty and they replace them for the 2 years with zero BS. Number on file so i dont need to keep the receipt. Fantastico!

Growlights.ca recently started selling board lights. The prices are not too shabby. Free shipping in Canada.

I almost bought one...or both...but if i need to get one i might do this.

A complete overhaul for lighting was done. Now the bloom room is 1 bank of cobs (240 240 and 200 watts)
1 bank of boards (240 240 and 150).
Total available is 1300 watts running at 1150 currently

I set the Dehuey to run at lights out only (timer). This should mitigate the heat problems and so far i peak out at 79.7 F

20200225_071525.jpg
And a tent full of testers...the 32 special is working out to be a great size of tent for doing this thing. Purple betty and Greases Pieces hanging out.

the greases pieces are really firming up buds now too. It will be pretty good i think.
