Thanks Pitts-fan, I think its something that will work for us long term.................... The gentic advancements are becoming evident also since the last time I grew. In the day it was Skunk#1, from Holland, and at this stage with 30 plants back then, I remember the whole block smelled like...

Okay ladies and gentlemen, time for this weeks status update; The bubbler is bubbling, and I can say with assurity today that I've successfuly cloned this strain of MJ. Inside the veg. cabinet, you see the mother plant, the two early flower weird plants that are finnally coming around, and...

Hey Chron., Do you ever have an issue with fugus gnats in your worm bin? We periodically do, and do nothing to control it. They seem to run there course in a week or so, then dissapear. This makes me nervous to use the castings in the cultivation though, would hate to screw things up.

Welcome Gerry, bummer about the seeds, man. I found the tents and stuff too expensive also, and did alot of DIY. I'll be watching for your progress...........................

Whew, what a week...............................battling pests, plant un-happiness, etc....................... I did get my TDS meter in the mail a few days ago; It showed that my tapwater had 41ppm from the begining, and allowed me to dial in a feeding mix at 950ppm. I have the food mixed...

With the aroma increasing with the flowers maturing, I needed to address the smell permiating throughout my house. I built a homemade air-scrubber for less than 50 dollars, which is working incredibly well. I bought a plastic tub ($7:00), and a used fan at the flea market ($3:00), and a large...

And finally, I dug out an old bubbler I had kickin' around, and have another generation of clones in, about three day old now. They are in tapwater PHed down to 5.5, and get a foliar feeding once per day. The air pump is 24hr, and the flouro-lights are 18 and 6.

The veg.cabinet has the mother that I'm keeping. I've been doing some LST'ing on her to maximize the nice cloning sites and, to keep the height down in this tiny cabinet. The other two are the ones my spouse got into pre-mature flower, and now they are somewhat stunted and growing weird.

Yes Koolio, there are healthy indeed, so now as of today we're 13 days into flowering 4 of the 6, that are in the flower enclosure. The other 2 are a couple of days in.This is what they look like as of today; Pretty f%$#@ng happy with that,...........let me tell ya!

Okay, been busy with work and such, so not alot of time to update. So this is what we had in the flower room last week;

With many a winding road............... sorry Koolie, couldn't resist showing my age................. A Nature Mill composter is a electronic composter that heats and aerates, to complete the process much faster than traditional compost. A typical batch takes about three weeks. I'm still...

Also, whats with the party cups.......................am I missing something?

Hey Koolio, that book is in my library also. My better half is a "Master Gardener", and that is a book she uses/revisits frequently. So do you have a Nature Mill electronic composter also?..................

So I've added 3 t-5's and 2 t-12's to the enclosure, to make up for the one panel re-allocated to the veg.cabinet. Temp. is stable in the cabinet, so I've switched the enclosure timer to 12/12. Now the real fun begins;

I guess its all about your perspective of scale.
