Ok no alarm during lights on. I then remembered to do the lighter test and its sucking the flame in from around a corner
So we have lift off. I will see about the CO2 thang in the future when everything is going as planned. I'm very excited about this.

I to like the recipe for success. But after using it for the last few years I have come down to only using boost grow bloom.

So I called HTG today to got my hood deal dealt with. They at first were gonna have me ship the other hoods back and I was like can I get comp shipping. They took a lil while and came back said ur new hoods are on there way. I was like what about the other hoods they said keep them. So all is well and HTG and there great customer service wins my vote again. Looking at flowering this weekend.

LOL Sorry dude I may not need them to flower cuz I like enclosed hoods, but I have already come up with a mission for the hoods. I also live in COLO. and have MANY MANY grower friends. (Were in the run with CA. for MMJ) So sadly I cannot help u out sorry.

Hello my peeps and how are we ? I hope all is well and life is peachy. So I finally got my ebb and gro flower controller bucket back and even got a EXTRA 350 gph pump out of the deal :) Lot's of freebies lately and Im kosher with that. My hoods will be here Fri. and then sat or sun the magic begins.

Its about time all the veg room be moved into flower. I have super cropped quite a bit and am kind of worried about height issues when I move into 12/12. But we will see, Ill probably super once more before I move them.

I put some beans in paper towel to germ. I put in three PERMA FROST, 2 HERIJUANA, 1 DURBAN POISON AND 1 SUPER SILVER HAZE :hump: No it's the waiting game. My Chem dog has taken insane jumps in vigor. So has my new baby NYCD mom. My partner has about 15 flavs Im gonna pick through and my other buddy has like 7 or so. I got the Chem from him and my sitting duck and my Bubble Gum/ Acata Train wreck. I'd like to get some heavy yielders so it will be a process of elimination. I only have room for like 7 to 8 mothers.

So my Strawberry Cough is showing sighns of a deff. I have no clue whats going on ? I got her kind of beat up and brought her back. Now she is not doing as hot as Id like. I have included a few pics below. I have a soil meter and its saying 7.5 to 8 on the PH. I checked my run off with my SM802 ph/ppm meter and off three plants it said 6.2, 6.5, 6.7. So the run off is way off from the meter ?? I am not as fluent with soil as I am hydro so am all ears. I have started to lower my PH on my nutes to counter act. But now that I did a run off test I dont know what to do ?????

So how is that Strawberry Cough doing?
Is the new growth, if any, showing signs too?
Soil PH should be 6.5 - 7
Don't forget to leech the soil once in a while...

I just finished a Strawberry Blue grow, amazing.:weed:

Wtf happen :? One minute all is soooo smooth then BAM it's shit parade down my throat FUCK. Ok so your all wondering what happen. Hmmm where do I start well it all came the DAY OF my proper hoods arriving yay yay, no fucking way guy's and gal's.

WHILE putting the last piece of ducting to my hoods up Fri. my lower back gives the fuck out on me. I'm a few years from 30 and have only had this happen one other time working out when I was younger. This shits got's me's on's the floor yelling in pain as I'm hit with spasms of pain that take my breath away. So my number one was there helping me put shit together and has to literally be my nurse for two days. I had a half a handle of jack and a muscle relaxor around so I got smashed shit face drunk slept well and the few horrible days to follow including the present have each day gotten more bearable. I was completely stuck on the ground for two days until monday. Now it hurts but Im mobile so can do some shit. I also wrecked a dirt bike doing wheelies on the street and bruised my tail bone just two weeks ago that one is still bad today. LOL fucken myself up good right.

So with that said and done I am behind on flowering my plants that are behind WAY to much as is. So me and my buddy are ready to put plants into flower now that I got the right hoods. But before this we do test runs. This motherfucker get's up to 102 degrees !!!!!:o I'm freaking out. So we break out the AC unit I made and put it in the room. We go through some kinks and finally get it working. I buy a industrial fan and a circulating fan. Were running all this with mid high 90s WTF :evil: All the pipes and hoods and ac and two inline fans and blah blah blah are generating heat. So Im moving the ac out and will cut a hole to put only front end in the room. I have some bubble insulation that is thin I will be cutting this into the proper sizes to cover the outside of my hoods. The ducting hoses Im still thinking on, cuz they were insulated but insulated isn't easy to work with. But with all these outside the room it SHOULD hopefully help with the heat a little.

I also cant run my flower room and my veg with the AC running cuz it pops the breaker. So I need to use the breaker for my dryer and make it just for the AC. So anyhow I throw all my ladies into flower. These bitches got a little stretch during veg cuz of my little back up issue with pump going out and hoods. So there several flimsy ones that have little self support. Not all but a few. Some of the sturdy ones have my best root structure ever. I try tying and get them all in there flower home.

Come down this morning and 75 % of my crop is DEAD.

Yeah dead. During lights on 10pm o 10am one of the hoses to the buckets came off of its connector and it pushed 55 GAL !!!!!! into my grow room. 4,000 watts made it so I didnt even know wtf had happen. Bone dry. So I figured it out and shut it down.

I have moved ALL of what I am trying to salvage back into the veg room. I have about 8 wounded plants and had 19 last night when they went into flower. This is a fucking nightmare on shit street production. So I am trying to revive these and after a couple days I think I'll top them all and promote some new growth. Im really not sure what Im doing yet, but flowering them isn't game plan. ALL of my new beans I started have came up but one Perma Frost. I have 1 of each as follows Herijuana, Super Silver Haze, Durban Poison, and 2 Perma Frost :) "So with death there is new life". Also JUST put my 4 1,000 watt digital ballast on the wall they were on floor. Wonder how deep 55 GALs got in a SEALED room. I have my room foam sealed. Bet I would of fried all 4 had I neglected that step huh.

Pretty much sucked ass but Im still trying to get by and with Donkey by my side :) I have ton's of brain storms brewing so I'll be doing some remodeling and will keep you all posted as i do them instead of typing what I may do cuz that's a lot of hmmmmmm.
I do have 25 100 % success rate :) clone's rooted in my cloner and ready to be trans planted. So I will be watching my hurt plants the next couple day's and if there not looking to hot I'll dispose of them as needed making room for clones. Strawberry Cough and NYCD.

That' s my update I'll keep updates as thing's progress for the better I'm sure. I really think moving the electronics out and putting that insulation on my hoods will help out. It will give me a lot more room to it's pretty tight in there........

Here's the bodies piled on the floor and the room they were murdered in I'll do a video run through later tonight.

Damnnnnit man! Talk about bad luck....I guess it's better with no luck eh? Overall I think what happened did go pretty smooth...it could of been a lot worse. What's the dimensions of your room? 55GAL could of got up to maybe like 2-3 feet of water in a 4x4 room.


Sorry for your luck and I hope a speedy recovery for you and the plants.
