The James Gang

[H.A.F.]

I'm a child of the late '70s, early '80s, graduated high school in '84 and yes, we had to read the book.

I saw every tour Van Halen did until I joined up, last one was earlier that year. Not much argument those were great music years. Metallica, Rush, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, Judas Priest, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, The late suckier Led Zeppelin etc. plus all the hair bands that had at least one decent song.

Posted some Heisen-porn on his thread. Here's a couple of pics each of the Sacred Lotus.
Getting that opaque powdered sugar look. Not a lot of amber but they are coming on .

The Dank Sinatra flower clones had roots out the bottom of 4 of 6. but they all pretty much go straight down. here was what wasa left of the top of the horticube after breaking off the chunks with no roots those corners also got removed.

10 DS clones to get one or two. everything else is getting close to 1-gallons. I might stick the 3 fems right in 3 gallons when they are ready.

Left Behind clones are in the dome.

 

[H.A.F.]

Aside from having roots sticking 1/4" out the bottom, the flower clones look to all have sprouts starting at the nodes

One of the Sacred Lotus is finally looking done through a loupe. This is a lower nug, everything is putting out new pistils, but the bulk of it is close enough for a 3-day dark thingy. The other two are going the distance.

All the babies look great and got a little water today. Re-pots coming soon.

Red - Homecoming Queen
Orange - Sangria Cookies
Blue - Rock Island Rocket
Purple - Purple Jelly Pie

Thr RIR are probably the prettiest seedlings I've grown so far. Fashion model tall but sturdy. And once they got going and into stronger light the node spacing settled down

2 days to go for the Sacred Lotus in the dark - and it's looking like these are trying to catch up. It would be funny if they all chopped the same day.

Heisen's and the Cheap Trills

The reason I don't try and crowd my plants in the middle in here is because of the light


The light green ones are the lvtk up front, Left Behind dead center, and the two HC x RS in the back. Nothing much to see yet, all are of similar stretch, should be right in the three foot range when done like the rest in the tent.

So now the shorty is the Sacred Lotus clone, which is starting to turn

The Dank Sinatra is nice

Productive boredom

Probably another week before the Sangria Cookies are ready. All of the DS clones are looking good. I don't think the first set was far enough along to re-veg, but the second set may take a bit longer to get one ready to flip. No roots yet on the left Behind clones.

The Rock Island Rocket got potted deep to support that giraffe neck they had - they look normal now, and already pumping out sprouts.

 

[H.A.F.]

I potted them into dry soil, then watered a ring right around where the roots landed. Only about a half cup of water each. I am going to mix up a foliar feed for everything tonight, then when the pots are light again I'll just soak around the edge of the pot. Probably a week before I actually soak the pots.

*One of my haters (since banned) spouted about me sounding "teachy".

I picked Elementary Education to spend my GI Bill on. Local college had the best program, I could have been employed the day I graduated if I wanted to fight a liberal public school system - but I digress. The classes were 98% female, I was separated and already had a divorce filed

Anyway - I have a bachelor of science in being able to get my point across, and I can explain how and why I do what I do without it being a chore. Give me a few pics and 10 minutes and I can hook you up with a power-point

 

[H.A.F.]

I know I am culling most of the clones. 2-3 would be the max I keep, so culling will be a continual thing whenever I see something lacking.

The two in the tray are keepers until I see how the flower-clones do. The other two are slower, so I culled one to see the progress

Just a few days and the roots are fine, so the others are probably farther along.
There was about an inch of soil over the plug, and some roots already started out of the buried stem.

@Old ST1R - in case you thought I was pulling your leg...
I picked up that Yuuuuuuge propagator, don't see me using it much, but it will fit, and it wouldn't by about an inch each way on my previous shelf-thing. It'll hold two of the regular size ones easy. One for each light.

I also have a little vent-fan showing up tomorrow - which was what was keeping me from using both lights (HLG65) in the previous set-up.
I don't know where it will end up. Desk-top puts it at an easier height to mess with stuff - but I don't really mess with the plants much in the early stage anyway. More likely it will have a work-bench/watering station set up over the top.

Nice! I put mine up on a folding table. It’s the perfect height if you ask me. It makes tending to the plants quite easy - no bending over and shit.

I remember seeing yours and I think it put the idea in my head.

The suck part is that all my stuff is in a small spare bedroom. I have very little floor space, and if I stack it on something, underneath can only be storage and I lose more. I already have a table in there for mixing that is exactly the right size in two directions, but 6" too short. So I know it will work space-wise to keep it on the floor.

But I like the desk-top set-up, and I do also have all my grow-stuff on shelves in there so it's probably a wash. Just have to rearrange storage.

Dank Sinatra clones are killing it. Definitely a cash crop if anyone needs it. 100% rooted.

The two on top are the best of each set.

I culled the smallest of the flower-clones to check, and I think I will have my pick of the litter if they all look this good.

I don't think I'll get 100% on the Left Behind clones. Nothing's dead, but the flower clones have been droopy since tay one. Still green though.

The one gallons were light after only 2 days since the repot, and don't look to have missed a beat.
They got more water, but the Sangria Cookies are getting dried out to re-pot. They could have taken a sip as well.

If any of you picked up any of The Crown Jewel that @J.James had for sale a while back, plant some
Mine hit a year old in the jar, and was getting a little on the harsher side, so I made hash. I got one of those little ultrasonic washing machines to try.
I had about an ounce and a half left - most of a quart. I froze the bud, then crumbled them while frosty and did dry-sift first.
The finer 2 will get either de-carbed for budder or hashed.
The stuff that fit through the 220 work-screen, but not the 120 will get tossed in bowlsn with other weed.

After I got that bounty, I put all the "used" veg material in a full-mesh 220 work bag and ran it in the washing machine until I saw a good foam on top. I drained it through a 120 and a 60-ish one. The stuff in the 120-bag was crumbly - more bowl stuff as is. The other stuff was ready to be worked right away. It's still drying before I wrap it and set it back to cure.

Here's the environmentals for the little seedling/clone tent.
The only filtration is what you see, just to keep dust out of the "Raxial" fan. And all my oscillating fans are too beefy for seedlings unless it's on low and indirect, so I got the little USB fan set. Need to figure out how I want to mount them. I'm thinking about using a spacer/hanger bar from an old tent if one is the right size, then making something 'permanent' but adjustable.

 

[H.A.F.]

That little fan set was only $15, so no harm messing around with them. I put some epoxy putty on hinges and mounted to the bottom of the fans, then just cutting a board to fit between the tene pipes sould seal the deal.
