do-nothing garden

  1. Hehe just opened her up. She is small, but damn is she bright lol. Waaayyy brighter than my t5 lol. Not even a competition lol. At 66w lower consumption too :metal: Saw sunspots for a couple minutes after turning it on lol. Packed tight in the box just like the other one--box within a box. I like that the inner box has a handle. 1" of foam padding all around the unit. All necessary accessories included: carabiners/cables for hanging, rope ratchets, H-brackets to connect to other units, a power cord, and another cord for daisy chaining. Has two switches, one for veg spectrum the other for bloom (with more reds). The pic shows it with both switches on :metal: (those dim looking chips are IR). Heavy duty construction, yet very lightweight. I'm likin it :) i bet the plants do too :D

  2. The parking lot is great for getting new genetics but whenever you bring in new girls they may be bringing in more than you expected. I learned that from dispensary clones. I won't make that mistake again. You really need to use your eyes for watch for pests and mold problems. Catching it early makes eradicating it much easier.  Good luck controlling/ridding your thrip problem. That is if you have one.
     
  3. Yeah they put a dent in the outer box. Luckily the folks at amare packed the light in there nice and snuggy.

    I'm excited for the PPV too :) hopefully they show soon. OD season is almost upon us!!

    I hear ya man. I think I have been too lax with my IPM regiment and the parking lot clones add an extra risk to the equation for sure. Never had any problems when I was obsessive about my IPM. I'm going to stay on top of it. From what I have read, thrips aren ot nearly as bad as PM or spider mites. So hopefully eradicating them will not be too big a deal. Thanks for the vote of confidence my friend :) hope you are enjoying the weekend :wave:
     
  4. yeah any new clones i get, even from the most trusted friends get sprayed and sequestered for a week..

  6. I have one 260 (probably pull more than 1 gpw) and 2 150s in separate tents. Can't wait to get 4 @ 150s in my 50 x 50 tent
     
  7. Yeah buddy! Lol another LED from the same company. This one is a much smaller model but every bit as awesome :) pulls 150w. Gonna set er up in the veg chamber soon and then setup the t5 for starting my veggie seeds. Perhaps in the future I will use this for some pheno hunting in a small tent :)

    Just got another parking lot clone and am going to follow your advice. Setup the new light in a small cabinet that I usually use for drying plants and what-not. Should work nicely as a temporary quarantine. Sprayed her with neem as soon as I brought her in, and tomorrow mornin is my usual neem spray day so she will get it again. Gonna use the spinosad on her too, so she should be nice n bug-free by the time I get her in the veg cab :)

    This is Bubble Cheese. Real healthy looking gal. Hope she likes the new digs! :)

    Hell yeah dude she is looking good! Gotta go check in on your thread. Been a few days :) I finally got my hands on a cheese strain! :yay:

    SG does not have a website and his stuff is not available for sale... yet. If you sub up to his thread and get to know the 'minions', you may find that they are a very generous group of folks ;)

    Here is the minion thread:

    Very nice, P! I may just go the same route :) so far I am very impressed with these lights. 1+ gpw is very impressive! Even 1 gpw is impressive lol.
     
  9. Ok, question for you folks with aerocloner experience: how much longer would you let these cuttings go for before transplanting into soil? I am guessing that they aren't quite ready yet lol. Probably want to wait until there is a more dense network of roots, ay? TIA!

    These are the roots forming on three of the cuttings:

  10. Well i have done clones in small rockwool cubes ..and the roots were bout  1" all around and pop them right in soil.. i do the same with seeds..seems to work well for me..more roots for sure brother
     
  11. And they call the Amare guys a cult..thats too funny...they do have some nice tree's ..thanks..what kinda cheese did ya get?

    I've seen that Bastard's cheese before  [​IMG]  I think you're going to like her  [​IMG]  
     
     
    And shady characters plants are sequestered for even longer!!  [​IMG]
     
    I usually go a little longer than a week but I did have to listen to some Midwest guys battle mites for awhile so I'm a little cautious  [​IMG]
     
    [​IMG] AW  [​IMG]  I like all the new sigs  [​IMG]
     
  14. Haha nice! Like a striptease...those Amare lights look sweet.
     
  15.  
    I've planted them when they look like that but I'd go 1 more day. How many days is that TJ?
     
  16. I've had no issue planting any clone from the bubble cloner with one or two roots at least 1/4" long ........ Maybe I'm a little over zealous but as soon s I'm seeing any roots in size she goes right into my mix
     
  17. Hey TJ,

    I use the coffee can cloner but if possible id give it a couple more days in the cloner before TPing into soil.

    I've done TPs with that small of a root mass and IME it usually takes a couple days longer before they get established. Just my .02.

    They look perfectly happy! how did you like the aero style? I thought about building one once upon a time...
     
  18. I would wait until you have ~ 3xs that many roots popping out. I find that trimming back the long tap root helps to create others.
     
    Also, I typically use 2-4 air stones to create an oxygen rich environment above the water line to facilitate root development
     
    I usually clone in small lid tote, but for grins tried it in the rez feeding other clones. Worked fine
