The Shack

[Mr. Brown]

The Shack is running again.
I made some small changes in the setup this year.
I started 9 days ago with 16 plants, I wanted to keep 12 of the strongest clones:

This time I will run the keepers from previous Honolulu Haze again with my Western Winds keeper.

-2x Honolulu Haze #1
-2x Honolulu Haze #3
-1x Honolulu Haze #4
-1x Honolulu Haze #6
-2x Honolulu Haze #11
-2x Honolulu Haze #12
-2x Western Winds clone

I transplanted them yesterday in their final 20L pots.
Plagrond Light Mix mixed with 350ml Bat Guano.

Looking good, I like to see them prey to the light.
I run them around 40% now.

I usualy run a bigger fan directed more at the lights and use a strong passive airflow from exhaust.
There are 2 small rotating fans on each side now.

I'm running a 315w CMH, a TS1000 150W Led after it and two FC 4000 EVO 320W on the sides.
I aim for a big overlap.

I replaced the tiles @Mr. Brown!
It does look a bit better now.

Greetings.

I really liked the look of the old tiles. It always brought back good memories

But now it looks perfect

Everything is going well in the Shack despite it being a little bit colder the past few days.
Flowering will start in a couple of days.
I made cuttings for new mom's today.

The big led's are at 60%, CMH at 285W and the small led at 90%.
they recieved 3ml/L Alga Grow this week.

I'm still debating if I will top them or not.

Day 6 of 12/12 in the Shack.
I upped the lighting to 60% with the big led's, 315W for the CMH and 90% for the small led.
The plants are doing great and will have there first feeding this week of 2ml/L Alga bloom.
Temperature is still on the colder side but having the lights on a bit stronger helps.

I will prune the lowers a bit this week and rearrange them.

They give a strong sour stench when opening up the shack.

Some pictures from this morning.

Day 10 of flowering today.
It was starting to become crowded in the Shack, I felt that air was not flowing freely through the canopy anymore.
I have pruned the lower branches and leaves fairly hard yesterday.
At the same time I repositioned the bigger leds in an angle going outwards to avoid a light hotspot in the center and to have an even distribution over the canopy.
I use an old lux-meter for this, It does not tell me the correct ppfd but is does say something about the distribution of light.
After that I gave them a feeding of 2ml/ Alga Bloom.

Plants looked good this morning.

Day 12 of flowering.

They recovered nice from the pruning and I see the first budset.
It looks like the height will be spot on this time.
I will be giving them just water this week.

Some quick pictures from this morning just before a needed watering:

Pictures from yesterday, day 19 of flowering.

Plants look lovely, they are liking their home so far.
Stretch has stopped and the fist flowers are forming on all of the ladies.
I repositioned some again and brought the smallest ones to the center front and gave the bigger ones the best spots under the lights.
The big leds are at 90% now, CMH at 315W and small led at 90%, I aim for a +50cm distance between the canopy and the lights in this grow.

So far only water, they are looking good so I will hold on a bit with giving Alga Bloom.
These are fairly easy to grow, even the Wester Winds cuts are in line with the others.
A couple indi dom pheno's of Honolulu Haze stayed low.

I love how the leaves prey to the lights.

Day 26 of flowering.

The girls are still going strong, very happy with how things are going so far.
I did gave them one feeding of 2ml/L Alga Bloom this week.
Budset is looking very promising, next week should bring some volume to them.
I see trichomes forming on the sugar leaves and they give fruity and stincky smells so far.

Day 33 of 12/12.

When opening up the shack I got a pleasant sweet smell this morning.
I gave one feeding of 2ml/ Alga Bloom and 1ml/ Green Sensation this week, the rest is just rainwater.
It was fairly hot this week here but they don't seem to be really bothered by it.

Day 40 of flowering today.

Temperatures are again high this week outside and also in the shack, at pot level it is 22°C and canopy it is around 27°C max.
I put an extra fan in there to help cool the lights and one is now blowing directly at the plants.
Every light has been lowered a little in wattage to help manage the temperature.

This week I started giving more feedings of 3ml/L Alga Bloom and 1ml/L Green Sensation.
Especially the two Western Winds cuts are very hungry.
Buds are starting to pack some weight, everything on track so far.
