Let’s grow some top shelf herb. Maybe some mids too!

This plant is a mess, preflowers everywhere. I’m hoping if I put her outside this year she will just go straight into flower. Barely vegging at 18/6, and I heard it’s the heat. We will see, but it’ll definitely be one of the later ones to move outside this year.

Mate hat off to ya awesome layout love it.

Right now I am running fresh air exchange and it is working well for the spring time. I’m able to get enough free cooling to avoid running ac and sealing things up, have everything for a co2 setup, just need to fill my 50# and adjust controls. I’m thinking I may be able to adjust my time and run 10pm-10am and continue with the fresh air as it gets warmer. I can move as much air as I need to, and not running ac would be fantastic. The season is shifting and this will be my first attempt growing indoor during the summer, but I’m prepared for just about anything. Eventually a mini split will be added, but I have a really great older 10,000btu window shaker I’ll use in the meantime.

9 boys culled in veg. I will clone the sour power og males, but others are testers, gifts and chucks so probably compost.

After seeing the performance of the little 100w spider farmer led, I decided to replace the other cmh with 2 of the vaparspectra, I like the heat sink on them and excited to see what I can do wit 3 in a 4x8 veg tent. It’s certainly brighter in there. And less than half the watts I started with, less than a quarter of what it would take to light it up with t5. Veg is a huge expense and heat load, I’ll take what I can get if the results are there.

I think you will be happy with this decision.

Got a few of the seedlings transplanted into 2 gallon pots. I’ll give em a week in their new shoes. Have a 4x4 table that’s empty in the flower room waiting patiently. Going in will be
4-ice cream freeze (relic)
1-Tahoe x purple jellato (dvg)
1-blue resin kush (riot)
Rude boi og
La kush cake
And maybe a few others that need to move on from the veg space.

unfortunately I can’t flower a lot of these quite yet. Spring nursery season is in high gear.

so far the led is an excellent upgrade in veg. Can’t wait to scale back my moms and get a flow going

One note to add, all of the seedlings were in straight coco/perlite and I have had great results before, I’m having issues in veg with it. The flowering plants are doing great, just the veg. As I’ve shifted into a coco based mix with more organic matter and more perlite things are popping out of it. And I’ll reassess my relationship with straight coco/perlite, from what I can tell if they are not drinking to dry in their containers daily they suffer.

Something I made
Rec farm tested 24% on left
My keeper that I haven’t tested that holds it’s own against most with sarsaparilla and skunk terps
Glad to have both hunted cuts still!
Last pic is the one on the right at harvest last spring.

People say not to let Coco dry out but in early veg, I've found the opposite to be true. And in late veg and flower, I've seen do difference between watering when dry vs not letting it dry.

A little bit of outdoor fun today. Turned Over my cover crop and added some high quality compost.

Movin a few in tonight

Been a busy week or so, I’ve been neglecting my journal, but here’s some day 50 nug shots on a couple
Chocolate mimosa

white Tahoe cookie

Table 1, 6 are day 50 today.

table 2, most entered in about a week ago

No, it’s a cut from archive Portland

Perhaps one of the lesser photographed plants in the journal, maybe because she is short and I’ve burned her a bit. Nonetheless a wonderful plant and I’ll give her the attention she needs next time because the person I got this from runs rooms of it. It’s a sour diesel x white rhino cross and he calls it delight valley diesel. Cool dude and it’s shaping up to be a nice chunky plant. Day 51

A little bit of outdoor soil prep, turned over the cover crop with some additional compost about 2 weeks ago. The compost is doing a really great job going to work breaking down the cover crop. It’s about 60% broken down with a quick turn. Ground up some malted barley, added some kelp, alfalfa and Down to Earth “bio-live” to the pots and gave them a proper mix up. I’m about a month from planting in these and really looking forward to this year’s outdoor.

Day 57 update later. I’m tired, it’s been warm and everything is drinking like crazy. In thinking I’ll cut a few within the week. A few will be done just shy of 9 weeks which is nice. Here’s a chocolate mimosa pic in the meantime.

Ended up chopping at day 64. Only took 1 picture of the chocolate mimosa at harvest outdoor under natural light. Shit, I totally missed the boat there but I have full smoke report coming too so I’ll close this chapter, but outdoor and indoor projects will continue here as I can.
