Didn't get around to working on the doors. Home Depot lumber prices were insulting considering the pathetic quality of the boards. I left without buying anything. For a change Lowes has better prices, less than half, but I haven't made the trip to see what it looks like. There are a couple of lumber yards that would sell me better boards for a lot less, but the closest one is 90 minutes away. I will figure something out next week.

I chopped all the autos this morning. There were 5 without seeds, and two with seeds. I didn't think I would get much bud from the 5, but it looks like about 2 ounces. The two with seeds I just rough trimmed and set aside to dry, so the seeds will be easier to collect.

The two Supafreaks are now on large auto water trays. I need to up pot them both to 5 or 7 gallon pots, but for now I can at least ignore them for up to a week while the wicks feed them from the trays. I also need to make some clones, especially of the one that might be a male. No reason to up pot it if it is.

They seem to still be growing, so I must be doing something right, The one I started from a seed lost a couple of branches for clones yesterday. I can't even tell where I took them. Using the Oxyclone this time. It tends to work better when the temperatures are low. I might put a couple from each in solo cups as well.

It's been a busy week at work, so I haven't had time or ambition to work on the attic. I have plenty of 2X4's laying around, so my current plan is to square them up and make 1/2X2 slices for the door frames, and something similar for the doors. With luck the only cost will be the hinges, though I might decide to use some 1/8 hardboard over the 2X4 slices on the doors.

The Supafreak I grew from a seed is female. I'm stunned, since I never had one show before it was flipped. So they both get bigger pots this weekend. Should have some clones rooting soon as well.

I only up potted the one I started from a seed. It was in a 2 or 3 gallon, and is now in a 7 gallon. I think the other is in a tall skinny 5 gallon, because I could barely slide the pot into the 7 gallon. Wasn't worth the effort to move it. The clone is definitely falling behind. Not sure what it was started in, just that it wasn't coco. As soon as my clones root, I think I will flip that one.

I love growing clones just gotta get a system to remember to take them. I have rooted several just the last few I blew it off. I left a stump on my Ice princess to see if I can get the girl to reveg.

I ran out of 2X4s before I finished framing the access doors. I finished the four in the back, but the three in the front are missing the outer frame for the doors. Wouldn't have taken more than 30 minutes to finish, but I wasn't up for a trip to the store. Slicing 2 X 4's into 1/2 X 4's on the table saw left me with sawdust in every orifice. Oh well, just 12 more slices to go.

On the doors themselves, I found I could order all seven for barely $100 more than it would cost to make them using OSB board and 1x4s. And MDF doors will look a lot better. So I'll get the door frames finished this week, and go back to taping and finishing while I wait for the doors themselves.

Nice work. I'm so jealous. This grow room is gonna be epic.

That's assuming I ever finish...
