KGB’s EarthBox Grow

[KGB]

Light just came on and I took a peek after I checked water levels. The smell of the Skunk#1 is exactly as I remembered with a medium amount of resin

But the Ice Princess smells different and fantastic and has a very high amount of resin

Finished up my light mover today except for painting. Moved on to making a Golden Dragon tincture. Then I put it in a brown glass bottle with a measured dropper and popped it in the freezer for long term storage. Used Everclear and my small ultrasonic cleaner for one minute then five minutes back in the freezer for a total of 18 minutes. I just put a half dose under my tongue and while I feel something I am pretty sure it’s the 190 proof. Will see what happens in 15-30 minutes

Behold the mighty dragon

Well a 1/2 mL of the Sour Diesel Golden Dragon, a half a dose, is quite effective

I knew there had to be some repercussions from changing my light time during flowering. Getting some foxtailing but nothing drastic.

Day 85 from seed

Another week of watering these girls

 

[KGB]

Just downloaded my weekly time lapse and I was surprised to see that the leaves no longer go up and down during cycles. They just stay up.

I assume the plants are like me and their arthritis is kicking up

Both WW and C99 get sticky so they will be very sticky. My WW I harvested in Aug or Sept was fabulous. Hard nugs just like rocks. Hurt my fingers to break them to look for seeds.

The C99xPurple Uriel in the back is frosting well. I wish I could get in there and get a good shot of the buds but they are too high for that. All three plants have really hard nugs

Man my main opening zipper just stuck. I think I will not bother it and will harvest from the sides then unstick it after the grow is all harvested or at least until most of it is.

They sell wax sticks for lubricating zippers….i found it helpful with an old tent that was giving me trouble

That's the best thing I've seen all day. I had no idea that existed. Thanks

Bet you could use paraffin in a pinch.

 

[KGB]

I am terrified it could turn into something I can’t close off without great pain. Right now it’s closed and light tight.

I may leave it until it’s all over and there are no repercussions if it separates

 

[Hippie420]

You've always got duct tape that you can fall back on if need be.

I do like the dipstick as I can see water intake, which is now slowing. I figure 3-4 weeks maybe

Its amazing how boring growing becomes when you just put water in and wait for the end results

To me seedlings are the most boring. Once I get a month in I usually have a lot to do with training and all that mess.

Yeah but before I was always fighting the height or the nutrients

Now I just hang a fishing pole out and see if the buds are biting once the 10 days of tucking after 12/12 is done

So this is the light moving system I will be using to move my 3x3 light in a 4x4 tent. I took a 2x2 piece of 3/4 inch plywood and cutout spaces for the heat to rise. Then I bolted a 2x4 with a 3 ft piece of rail and put the 20+ year old light mover on it. I can swivel the light rail in any direction but mostly it will be working in an “x” pattern. I am using the built in delay of 1 minute so when it hits the end it stops for a minute then heads in the other direction and stops for a minute. The original design is for 12 ft it will be interesting to see what happens when it moves about 2.5 ft instead.

Ya got that looking nice. It's gonna work great. I love the idea. Making what ya have work is awesome.

I mean who uses a light rail mover these days? Something kinda from the past. Ya don't see them much anymore. Yeah, this is small scale but cool as hell.

I had to recoup something. I have the MH 600 watt setup I bought used 20 years ago and have been lugging it from house to house in a box. Have yet to ever turn it on. I bought it as a favor for someone I knew who needed money to leave town and included was this light rail motor in a box. It’s used have no idea how much.

But thought it would be fun to see if I can run a 4x4 tent with such a small light to keep my utilities below $25 a month

It's just cool to see someone think outside the box. Not many would consider doing this but your making it happen.

A cool video of it in action would be great once ya get setup.
