I got my 3x3x5 Veg tent today. Just went with the same brand as my 2x4x5. Vivosun. The 2x4x5 is nice. No light leaks. I'll set up the 3x3x5 this weekend. And start the pollen chucking. Honey Bee male crossed onto mid 1970s Acupolco Gold hopefully the seeds are still good. And I'm starting (Sour Livers x Honey Bee) I want to cross it to a skunk male.

Well I think I definitely stunted the blue mammoth auto. All I did was transplant it. So it's probably getting the chop. It doesn't get very big to begin with. And if I lost a week of veg over just transplanting it, then There is no reason to waste time/space/nutes on it. This is main reason I don't like autos. Pisses me off. But on a good note after raising the lights for the 3rd time. I'm finally getting some stretch on the Pineapple express v2. I had to take the light to 3 feet from the top. I guess the light is alot stronger than i originally thought. For 150 watts two panels. 5500k 65,000 lumens. Its a street light converted into a grow light. Its super bright. So I think I'll get another one. And can't beat the price. Free....

And I have a 4 cob light 310 watts. Same kind of light except it uses cobs instead. And it's 3850k 24,600 lumens. It has (4) CXA3050 LED arrays.
≥ 70 CRI

It runs 120.01 Vac, 2.544A, 302.72 Actual watts

I may try it out in the 2x4 tent. And put the light that's in there now. In the 3x3 tent.

Update:

Well I swapped out the 150 watt LED panels for (4) CXA3050 LED arrays. Plus using (2) 100 watt LED Corn cob bulbs 12,000 lumens each 5500k as supplemental side lighting....
20170707_221612.jpg 20170707_210326.jpg

The Pineapple Express V2 is loving the new light. I mean it's twice the watts and twice the lumens. Right now I'm at 48,600 lumens in the 2x4x5 tent. Hopefully it'll veg the shit out of them...

Finally starting to get it tied down some. And some leave tucking. I thought about trimming some of the fan leaves off to help out the smaller shoots coming in. But it's growing fast right now. I don't want to stunt it trimming it. She gets a feeding tomorrow. She will get 800ppm of the lucas formula and Calimagic. And the Blue Mammoth Auto will get another shot of 1/4 strength lucas formula. I stunted it transplanting it. And with it being an Auto. If it doesn't pick back up quickly. I'm just gonna pull it and start the Sour Livers x Honey Bee I got from a forum member.20170707_180456.jpg 20170707_180024.jpg 20170707_221631.jpg

The PEV2 got a feeding today. And the Blue Mammoth Auto got ph'd water. The PEV2 is lovin the new cob lights. Debating on whether or not to pull the Blue Mammoth. It's 18 days. And I'm pretty i stunted it's growth with the transplant. It hasn't grown at all in 3 days. If it doesn't grow today and or tomorrow. It's being pulled. And I'll start something else.

Makes it easy to get the PPM right when your water is 1 ppm. Lol
20170708_171834.jpgmy ph runoff is a tad low...
20170708_171933.jpg

But overall not too shabby. I'm excited about starting hydro this week coming. I just need to decide what strain I'm gonna run. I'm pretty sure I want a sativa, or a sativa dom hybrid. It's been awhile since I've had some good sativa smoke. I have a barneys farm Dr. Grinspoon but it's 100 or more day flower. But it's so worth the wait. It's a great strain.

Stay green n stay hi

Tied it down again to bring up the other shoots to level out the canopy. It would be much easier with a net. But I've never used one. So I'm not sure about it.
20170709_125724.jpg 20170709_125726.jpg 20170709_114231.jpg
The Blue Mammoth Auto finally started vegging again...
20170709_114149(0).jpg 20170709_114154.jpg
So I'm gonna leave and grow it out...

So in conclusion 310 watts with CXA3050 LED arrays with ≥ 70 CRI is pretty much perfect for my needs for vegging. I'm building a frame for the cobs today to spread them out. And I ordered 2 Viparspectra par700s thus morning to flower with. So I'm gonna run the 4 cobs plus the 2 Viparspectras on each side of it for flower.

The Pineapple Express V2 is filling in nicely. Getting closer to the 12/12 flip. She's starting to feed heavier. Feed before last was 750ppm and yesterday's feeding was 850ppm. Not one burnt tip or any sign of unhealthy leaves.

Blue Mammoth Auto got ph'd water only. And is starting to grow again from the stunting from transplanting it. Didn't know you dont transplant autos.

Beyond irritated. So I got home from.work today. Went to check on the girls. First did some leave tucking and training on the big pev2. Lookn great. Well I topped it like 2 weeks ago. And used the top I cut off for a clone. In a peat pellet. I go to check the clone to see if any roots hsve started coming out of the bottom of the pellet. And what happens. I break the pellet apart on accident. And rip the main root off of the clone. The only clone I had. So I'm sure it's screwed and won't root again. And even if it does that's a week or two weeks of lost god damn time. Then after stunting the blue mammoth auto last week it started growing again finally. And while I'm doing some light bending and whatnot I break off a god damn shoot on it. So now I'm sure it's stunted yet again. I'll be lucky to get a damn eighth of it now. It'll be like 7 inches tall if that when it goes into flower. I'm so made it kinda makes me want to tear my tent down and just say fuk it altogether

Had to do some leave tucking again. It's getting tight inside of it. The middle is starting to fill out. I was gonna flip in a few days. But now that I messed up the clone of it. I took a few more and gonna let them root. And manifold "mainline" the clones and then flip all of them at the same time. I took 4 clones. So I will mainline them plus flower the the one I topped.
20170710_164702.jpg 20170710_164704.jpg 20170710_171043.jpg 20170710_184354.jpg 20170710_184429.jpg 20170710_184431.jpg 20170710_190836.jpg

The Blue Mammoth Auto I bent over to get the shoots to come up. Bc I definitely stunted it last week. I'm just hoping the shoot I broke off doesn't stunt it again.

20170710_171047.jpg 20170710_190842.jpg
I'm hoping if all 4 clones take and mainline them, plus the one I topped. I'm shooting for 3/4 to 1lb. From all 5. I only grow for myself, and my sister who has cancer. I'll have a breeding project going, this tent flowering, plus barneys farm red cherry berry. I just through some fem beans in water. I'm gonna let the ol lady grow them out.

Got the Honey Bee pollen from a member here to do some breeding with.

20170710_212511.jpg 20170710_212515.jpg

Then it's onto some Farmhouse Genetics. Midnight Fantasy F2 (Bright Berry x Kurple Fantasy)

I'm hoping I get some nice phenos and a nice male to breed with.
20170710_212558.jpg 20170710_212609.jpg

And I got some testers Farmhouse Genetics Gaddys Gift. Anyone ever heard of it or grew it out?
20170710_213951.jpg

And i got free 11 pack of Cannabeizein mystery mix that Dc seeds said had fire in it. And from the website it shows the strains. If they are any of the list. They most definitely will be fire. The only thing i don't like is the mystery part. Not knowing what strain it is.
20170710_214055.jpg 20170710_214058.jpg

Here's the genetics list for it....

The Pineapple Express V2 is lookn phenomenal. Probably the best color green on a plant I've ever grown.

It almost looks like it's starting to develop trichs which is impossible I think. But depending on how it flowers, cures, and smokes. I might keep this around for a minute. I cut more clones yesterday. I need to do some major leaf tucking again....
CM170711-160414005.jpg 20170711_160652.jpg 20170711_160648.jpg 20170711_160647.jpg

And the Blue Mammoth Auto is just kinda there. I'm just letting it grow. I'm using whatever extra nutes I have left when I water and feed the pev2. I'm just not interested in it anymore. So I'll jus push it to the back corner and let it do whatever...

I have a few packs of these in the ma on the way to my house right now. I got lucky and a friend had several extra packs. These look like they are gonna be dank. And I bet they sell out fast. Glad I got extra packs.

Well I'd say she's ready to flip. Gonna flip her tomorrow when lights go off. It'll be 12/12.
She is so short and stout. And she already hot that stank going in veg. Flower is gonna smell amazing. Might be a keeper. I'm Hoping. I have clones of her. She's drinking a gallon of water from the soil every other day. Feeding 700-800ppm of lucas formula, calimagic, 5ml hydrogen peroxide per gallon. People say you shouldn't use hydrogen peroxide bc it kills soil microbes. Well in my entire pot I have 1 1/2 cups of soil. FFOF one cup. And 1/2 cup earthgro organic soil.and the. 2 1/4 cups extra large perlite. And my amendments. So I really don't have microbes. But anyway she has great stank, color, super super close node spacing. I hope she yields well and smokes well. Here's where the fun begins. I hope she stretches some too.

The Blue Mammoth Auto is picking up. Now that I slide over to the corner out of the way. It should atleast give me something...

Well I'm pretty sure I got the temps in the tent damn near perfect. I'm using my digital Southwire meter that is extremely sensitive. But right now my temp at the top of the plant is 81.1°f which is good. I'm debating on flipping tomorrow.

20170713_221514.jpg
20170713_221258.jpg
And the light that I decided to use the 310watts worth of cree cobs. I'm using the fixture they came in. I have it cooled to 86.0°f at 2" from the light. So I'll be able to get get it close to the light and not burn it. And the built heatsink is at 87.1°f so I'm definitely cooling it good. I think I'm gonna usr this light for the first few days then put in HPS bc I need good dense weight out of this run before the breeding starts.
20170713_221335.jpg
20170713_221320.jpg

And last but not least. The Blue Mammoth Auto is really starting to pick up growth.... So I bent the shit out of her to get light to all the shoots. To try and bring them up close to the top. To try to get a little more yield out of her...
20170713_221527.jpg
20170713_174932.jpg

But anyway I am dialed in. And ready to start seeing some bud development bc I got a badass Carson zOrb microscope for the trichs. I can't wait to get some 60x-100x magnified bud shots.
Through my UHD Samasung 65" Smartv. It will be 4k UHD. They will be some sweet pics. I'll definitely post them.

Debating on flipping her or not. I have a Blue Mammoth Auto vegging right beside her. That hasn't started budding yet. I thought about vegging her out at 18/6 until the Blue Mammoth Auto finishes. Bc I don't think the BMA will get big enough under 12/12 light. While flowering the pev2. So I'll just keep growing her until I chop the BMA. And by then her clones from an earlier topping will big enough I can mainline them and flower them with the original pev2 that I topped.

She's feeding right at 700-800ppm. I got my tent heat perfect. It sets at 79°f but I will be adding another intake fan to come in the back vent of the tent to run at night to drop the temps below 65°f and hold it. To bring the colors out that the pev2 has.
20170714_161910.jpg 20170714_161910(0).jpg

The Blue Mammoth Auto is coming along. She's responding well to some bending and LST. I'm using paper clips to hold over and out of the way. I have to move them each day. Now that it's growing regularly. It's amazing how fast autos grow. But if it does what the breeder says then I'm lookn at chop on August 23rd.
20170714_161915.jpg

These are clones of pev2 it's actually the top that I cloned. And ended up breaking. And having to reclone. And I broke one of the tiny shoots off on it. So I thought what the hell. Why not stick it in dirt. And the tiny thing is starting root. Gotta be a record for smallest clone.

Well I decided to just keep vegging her. She keeps popping shoots out. I'll make her the biggest widest bush I possibly can without a screen. I'm gonna veg her all the way to August 23rd. Today she's at Day 31 VEG. That'll be a 71 day veg. She should be huge by then. And hopefully the second version on pineapple express yields like the first one I did few years back.

DAY 31 VEG

Bent the Blue Mammoth Auto some more and staked it down.

Looking great bro. Im manifolding my girl in veg too. Its about 30 days now. I had 8 tops but now topped it again tonight. Let the 8 tops stretch some then tie those down. Veg again maybe 2 more weeks from now and flip. Last one i manifolded only had 4 tops but i vegged 10 weeks turned to be male lol

She's starting get really thick. I'm gonna have to trim back some leaves. I have places under her that have inch long shoots. Debating on trimming so they get light and will stretch up to the canopy. Or just removing them.

I got the Blue Mammoth Auto bent damn near clear over. Her shoots are coming up fast. I wish I had another of this strain. I like the way it grows. If I woukdnt have transplanted it and stunted. I think she would've put off a decent yield. I just hope the blueberry stands out dominant in the flavor. The misses has thing for blueberry. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll some headsets stuff just the misses and I.
