White widow in the yellow tote. 2 train wreck i think to the right and 2 jack to the left but now i cant remember. I will find out at harvest.. Damn I knew i should have put painters tape on the pots and wrote it down.
forget to label pots and just generally forget.. At least for me haha

Here are the outdoor selections for this year. I will probably grow 3 total but i will see. I might keep it to a pair.
Kawazulu and Malawi X Panama are going in for sure. The equinoix seeds is their coco melon aka chocolope. I might put one of these out late in a smaller pot to see what it tastes like.
The kwazulu and MxP are going in the 25 gallon pots with happy frog/ocean forest and grow stones (4/1/2 ratio).
They will start cracking next Friday. A trip is getting in the way of me tending my babies.
The indoor plants will be on the autopot by the weekend so they will be fine

It once took me 5 months to find a 2 oz jar of king tut. It was stellar.
This was the bong thought of the day (actually da buddha vape rips)
With a perpetual garden it is kind of impossible to figure out yield per watt or have any reasonable metric
I think I will have to dry and weigh things by the month to have any reasonable idea.
And Cobs vs CMH well it will probably be a visual guess because i cant keep up with 2 strains in 4 pots how will i ever tell apart what came from which light.

The seeds cleared customs....they are in Canada. If i dont get them tomorrow i will get them after my business trip.
Autopot tank is filled with 10 gallons of RO Water and 40 grams of megacrop. Stirring 15 minutes every 3 hours when it is running. I ran the aquarium pump for 1 hour to mix it up really good.
TDS 1230 this looks wrong. I think i need to recalibrate
PH 6.0
I will turn the system on probably Saturday. One more top watering should do it.
I topped 4 of them already (just hit the 5th node). They love the new digs.
And now that we are in better weather the room keeps at 68F and 52% RH. Good enough for me
And that is one monkey fan running. I think with everything running the big fan and a bit more extraction speed will keep it at a nice 75 to 80F.

I like growing inside better. There is something to be said about controlling the environment.
2 autopots with air domes are ready to go and the GH Waterfarm is put together and working.
I just need more planters so i can run the other strains i want to try. Sativa on one side and indica on the other

100% 5 for 5 all growing strong now. I will leave the WW in coco and up-pot to a 3 gallon pot and leave it there. That is comparable in size to the autopot.
I had the timber on for 2 hours to see what it would do to temp and it went to 20.3 Woo hoo no more heat problems.
This is the Heisenbeans section.....seeds soaking Friday. After a month I might start another in the bubble bucket and then we are officially perpetual

Back to Friday pics. 4 strains of heisenbeans are in cups soaking. I will add whatever takes. I am soaking 5 seeds and have pots for 3 so there is a great chance of 100% germ
The white widow in the garden and one of the Jack Herers are really mutated. All have been fimd to let things catch up. In a couple of days i will top all of those again.
One thing about that Jack Herer...I ran out of coco so i couldnt fill that pot. It is a mix of growstones and grodan grow chunks. I personally hate grodan rockwool but I had just enough left to get rid of it in the pot.
It may mutate the shit out of the plant or work out....I will find out. I am using a res product to keep things clean so i believe I will not have the same funky problem i had with them last time. Or its just a mutant jack herer about to be some xmen jack herer.
The 6.5 gallon pots are getting much bigger than the 4s. Pretty interesting.
I am curious to see how much better they work with the air domes.
At least they are green and growing. I might have to get another veg light on in a week or so. And I have been dying to turn on more light when it is needed
I was flying back from a Canadian flight and i pulled my bag from the overhead thing and all you could smell was the 2 doobs i had rolled. King Tut is pretty loud. I said really loud wow it smells like weed in here.....wait a minute its probably the weed in my bag.
And the smarter people busted a gut. The others just stared blankly.

And in real life news....I rocked the work shit !. And I told everyone about my grow and showed the 4 plant pics Smoking up with the Drs (PHD) of metallurgy was pretty sweet too. And wow were they high and loving it Come to think of it wow was I high and we laughed and it was GREAT. Smoking your first doob at 10pm made me realize that king tut is monster strong.
Not very covert.
But I do love to exercise my rights.
And in other amazing news my buddy invited me to his place in Texas for a weekend of BBQ and shooting. I think it will be AWESOME.
The power of good weed and good vibes to make amazing friendships and have fun.

Something else i noticed.... regular autopots make things a little easier BUT...
The growth is better with a pot. That white widow in a 3/4 gallon pot of pure coco coir is starting to really veg now. Fixing abuse nightly and outpacing all other growth. It is a 3 litre pot and i will move it to 3 gallon if i can find that last part bag of coco...its around here someplace
1 caveat white widow is a monster producer. The legends are true. I produced the biggest indoor plant i ever grew with colas like forearms And I was maybe 1 year past pure newb so its stellar for newbies if you like that cat piss amonia flavor...
I love white widow...lol. .
The autopot res makes it simple as in you dont have to water daily etc but i check them every day anyway. I spend half an hour every morning telling them how awesome they are so they will grow faster.
It is better than jazz. 25 out of 25 plants were surveyed....they all had no response but i think they like it.
So I am going to run 2 plants in coco in 3 gallon pots just to see how they work compared to my gagedtry.
I think I am going to need more 5 gallon water bottles...

This morning i put the white widow in a 3 gallon pot with 1 inch of growstones on the bottom and coco.
I topped up the rez for the rest with megacrop and this time i weighted it out. The rez is at 13 gallons now so it can go about 2 weeks without dicking around. 19 litres required 22grams of MC. IT is still so ridiculous.
1000 X that is the bag. 5000 gallons of water worth.
I will top up the UC roots descaler with 1ml per gallon (5 to 10ml per week). It will help keep the rez nice and clean and descale buildup in the autopots.
PH 6.1 TDS soon as i find my pen...
I put 3 heisenbeans in media All 3 had tap roots.
1 dubstep I put this in a peat sack. It is going in the waterfarm if it all works out
1 GG4 coco in a solo cup
1 Walter White. coco in a solo cup.
These two are going in the airdomed autopots.
1 dubstep and 1pp are sleeping in their paper towel blankets 1 more day.

The veg tents are prepared and ready. In a few weeks i will probably flip the ones that had the head start and i will veg the crap out of a couple of favorites and introduce them into the flower room when they are good and ready.
QB135
samsung 240watt both in 4k (1 in each).
I will find that hole saw when i fix the rest of that basement, Totes all over the fucking place
The room is looking really nice. I took out the crap i dont need. The tent at the back i might swap out for a 3 x 3 x 5 footer in the future but it will do a perfect job for now. And its already in the hoard.
I will start looking for a nice door for the entrance. If I cant find something suitable it will be a barn door style and blackout curtains.

Always tinkering...This is the final configuarion for now. Cobs have a 20 square foot section
780 watts over 20 feet is 39 watts a foot.
I took all the reflectors off the cobs too so they are ready for action.
The 315 is by itself. When i fill that up i will adjust some samsung into there
I found the 4k light map for the samsung strip fixture i have. Looks like almost all the rest of them
And one of the upcoming projects....that bathroom sink is a few feet from my room. Its got to go and be replaced by a laundry tub that is less than 24 inches wide. I will get the RO system hooked to this sink and all my watering problems are solved. I will call my plumber friend to get it all setup when i get the hardware to do it.
I hate hauling 10 bottles to the water store all the time.
The large autopots are growing much faster than the small ones. But they take 25 litres of media to fill or roughly a bag of coco. The small ones take 15 litres. The small ones are cheaper but if they yield more or grow faster the price of coco is not much per gram over a grow
The air domes might change everything.
And the white widow in the coco pot is growing as fast as the autopots.
Plants are drooping because i abused the stems between my fingers. Get stronger my puny friends.

It takes me 10 minutes to find where i put my glasses......
Coming to the party.....Walter White, MXP, and another Dubstep
Sprouting for my weird outdoor situation....World of Seeds afghan kush ryder (2 autos were left in the hoard)
in 3 gallon fabric pots on the deck.
I am trying a new kind of hydro soil. It is for a rootfarm (Scotts)system that is sold at the local hardware store. it is only 4 minutes from my place.
This is whats in it. You get a 25 litre bag for 11 bucks.
Formulated by hydroponic gardening experts, with sphagnum peat moss, coco coir, aged softwood bark, perlite, worm castings, bat guano, feather meal, bone meal, blood meal, sulfate of potash, kelp meal, and volcanic ash.
