80DeGreez Summertime 2011 Run

Hey All,
I've put off posting for a while due to complications with the setup (Didn't buy a fan controller for my 6" Vortex which caused my tent support structures to buckle in on themselves after a few days, so had to construct a new wooden frame structure inside to hold the tent up.)

Equip & Nutes used so far...
Tent is DR150 from Secret Jardin
5 Gallon Smart Pots with Master Nursery Gardeners Gold organic potting soil
600w Digilux MH Bulb in a Hydrofarm Daystar 6" Aircooled hood
6" Vortex inline fan for exhaust
Foxfarm Grow Big , only used 1/3 the recommended feeding, and only used on 3 feeds
MycoStim, used on 1 feed so far (latest feed)

Currently got 4 plants in there,
(2) Carmelicious
(1) Green Bud
(1) F13

Will follow up the thread with history of pics up until current...

WEEK 1 After Germ/Popping the Surface


From left to right are Carmel, Carmel, Green Bud, Carmel
The F13 doesn't come into the scene until later on because it was a donation from a friend that wasn't having a great year outside. One of the Carmels in the image here ends up losing its life when the tent initially crashed down, which I woke up to the Daystar hood laying across the top of her ;o

Two of the Carmel seedlings didn't like the soil I'm using, but as they grew, they grew to like it

WEEK 2
I had been letting them sit outside to grow this week, but the temps were so high that the growth got stunted, so I ran out to the store and picked up a CFL for each of them during days that were too hot (Tent and other supplies still hadn't arrived)



From left to right... Green Bud (in the Coco), Carmel, Carmel, Carmel
The last 2 Carmel's still clearly aren't liking the soil very much, all gimpy!

week 3

From left to right... Carmel (gimp), Green Bud ( transplannted out of Coco into Soil, seems to be liking it!), Carmel (gimpy #2), and Carmel (the Nice! Pheno)

WEEK 5
Woops, forgot to take shots during the 4th week. Anyhow, they have all been transplanted to 5 Gallon smart pots by now, one of the gimpys was taken out by the falling tent, and here they are...!



Top to Bottom... Two Carmelicious, Green Bud, then Group shot

WEEK 7
Alright, I forgot shots during week 6 too but that's just because I was out celebrating the late Jerry Garcia's birthday
Anyhow, before that, the additional support structure was added to the tent and the ladies were moved in there, and they sure do love it! Here some shots...



In the middle there is a Group Shot, which I will use the positioning to say which plant is which. The one up front is a Carmel which just got tied down. The one on the left is the Green Bud which also just got tied down.

In the back right there is another Carmelicious which hasn't been tied down yet, and back middle looking a bit scraggly is the F13 which just got brought in after being ravaged outside this year, looks like she will make it though

By the way, I still havn't gone into flowering yet

very fuckin nice updates lad..they look really nice pal..take a look at my thread heres a link https://www.rollitup.org/general-mari...op-my-787.html NEW INDOOR GROW ENJOY RIU..

AWESOME GARDENING 80degrees. Everything looks fantastic! The girls look lovely healthy and green. Epic journal and grow here for sure!

Hey, Thanks for stopping by! Going to be doing some more tying down later today and give a final feeding of Veg nutes, then a week or 2 of plain water while transitioning into 12/12 then starting up Flower nutes

Btw, also took some cuttings for clones. Got them in the dome right now...still getting the hang of it though, probably will take a bunch more cuttings right before switching to 12/12!

Awesome show. Just make sure you burp your cloning dome the same as any curing jar.
Otherwise it can all go wrong. I put a PC fan inside my clone chamber after a couple days.
I get 100% cloning rates these days. It feels nice to know that it will root every time.

Thanks @C.Indica! I have been burping the humidity dome twice daily.
The humidity dome also has 2 spots on the top with holes, which I have a fan blowing fresh air across so the air inside isn't sitting completely still.
I may look into mounting a PC fan to the inside of the dome

And I assume the clones are doing well so far, since its been 3 days and none of the cuttings are drooping down or anything.
I know its too early to see the roots coming out the bottom but are there any other early signs which indicate if a clone is doing well or not? Thanks again!

Looking good man! keep up the good work!

I havent heard of any other signs to tell, but i do know that it sounds like yours are doing perfect. If there is no droopiness and there is new growth, you can bet that you will see those roots starting to bust out in no time!

good luck with YOUR clones bud, good info on here i had my little holes closed and that pc fan, i will be getting one this week.

actually, I'm using these biodegradable cups to start with, and the roots have actually poked through the edges of it today

Got a little bored so decided to do an update...
Start of Week 8

Put the ladies into 12/12 cycle on the 3 days ago, Aug 14.
Going to be feeding a mix of MycoStim (1/4cup per gallon) and molasses (1tsp per gallon) to start, once a week to start off, then increasing the amount of molasses as I continue.



Also an update on the clones:
So far I've seen new growth on all of them, and roots pushed out on one so far. here are the shots...


Any tips for flowering?!

looks all good man! guna get some nice budds
