Indoor Come visit Wild Bill's Medical Grow Room!!!!

I experimented with a 45w bar as under canopy lighting to see if I could boost growth of a slower side.

To my delight, those branches grew vertically until they caught up.

I found that adding under canopy light can show up as light stress at the top of the plant. I ended up using a separate timer and reducing the under light exposure until she was happy.
Thank you for your input!!!:pass:
 
An absolute ton of very valuable information in this video, especially for what I'm about to do!:headbang::headbang:
With the way Michael Box explained everything, I think I'm pretty much up to date with what I need to do........... With reasonable confidence. But I'm sure I'm gonna have to go back and review.
 
Well, there were some fruits and vegetables on sale at the grocery store, so I made some worm food.

The cantaloupe was quite large and very sweet and juicy, so I saved a slice for myself
:eyebrows:


Large avocados were also on sale, so I got 4. I probably should have got at least one or two rhubarbs, but this was gonna be plenty.
I gave my new Ninja Mixer quite the workout. It's a damn good mixer! The resulting mixture, peel and all, had a very good consistency and was liquid enough to add my other dry ingredients.

The ninja made quick work of the pelletized organic alfalfa, organic chicken laying crumble and volcanic tuft for worm gut health and silica.

I got the mixture to roughly biscuit dough consistency and place them in quart freezer bags with as much material for one feeding.

I imagine these worms will work through this material quite quickly. I made some food similar to this with leaves from a defoliation and the worms absolutely tore it up quite quickly.

I'm going to change the feeding method just a little bit. I have a new crosscut Shredder for cardboard . And the hole goes a bit of shredded cardboard , then the feed, then more cardboard and worm bin material to cover it all up. The cardboard is for food and moisture control.

Hopefully this will provide for more nutrient dense worm castings. With using the fruits, I intend to hit heavy on the flower nutrients, but there is quite a bit there for vegetative nutrition also. The laying crumble Has sufficient calcium and sprouted seeds for various hormones.

It made 10 quart bags, but they weren't filled fully. They're all sitting in the freezer and tomorrow I will give the first feeding to the main worm bin. Before I'll feed, I'll try to harvest more worms to add to the other worm bin I started.

STRONG!!!
It's time for a change up on my 2X4 tent! The Mars tent in there has been good, but there's just too many compromises..
First of all, it's just too short, especially important with the next change to the grow. No cinched air inlets at the bottom of the tent is very troublesome for my thoughts on tent air flow. I have 2 4in tubes bringing inlet air to the bottom of the tent. They take up inside space and restricts circ fan placement.

At 7 foot 11 inches and 6 11 inch cinched openings, those problems are solved.
That extra height is going to be handy with the new light that I just got .
The price was already lowered a little bit and I had a 30% off!

With the split quantum boards, there is a lower ppfd in the center if the light is too close to the girls. Jeremy of BAS took out his meter, measured and showed where it was and how far it went down before over filled in. HLG sent him a 350 Diablo to test.
It's 330 watts with a nice bit of red.

I'm just gonna run this light on the first run by itself with nothing supplemental.
Since the long delay, I've decided to change up a few things on this next grow . But that's only in this tent .
I think I'm going to grow Sour Stomper and Vidamints. I think I'm gonna grow them in Earthbox Jrs. I have yet to grow either one in Earthbox Jrs. This will be the first time that I have grown Vidamints without any supplemental UVA. I'm betting that I will be able to easily tell the difference from the prior runs with UVA.

The 3x3 tent we'll be getting Dutch Passions CBD Girl in a 20 or maybe a 25 gallon Living Earth bags.

The 4x4 10th will be getting 1 lemon Z and 2 Kerosene Krash. Kerosene Krash will get cloned and maybe seeds made, but not as much as AHz. :biggrin::crying:

The clone keeping mother keeping seed making tent Will be put in the walk in closet . I'm kind of thinking it will be the old small 2.3 X2 .3 Mars Hydro Tent . I've got a lot of stuff in there and I think that's the only thing that's going to fit well .
 
Well I did just buy one other thing for Christmas, but it's for me.
I want to try and keep my night and day temperatures a bit more close in the winter time.
I have been using a hot oil radiator style heater that was Reasonably accurate. It's just not accurate enough and if I have any power outage, it has no memory settings.

This is what I preordered.

I'm not gonna use it with any ducting, just ran into the lung room. Hopefully it will have some sort of filter on the inlet side.
