Rosebud's journey journal

[Rosebud]

Thanks ozo, the temps today with just the 600 are 83 this morning. I will see how it goes today.

 

[AluminumMonster]

That stinks RB. Is there any way you can buy a small window A/C . I know nobody want to pay for the electricity, but if it keeps the babies happy....

 

[Rosebud]

Thanks AM, I am ready to do anything at this point. I will go looking on line and at my little grow shopt. Mr rb and I need to figure out what we need to do to cool the lights.
Do they sell little swamp coolers? I could use some humidity too.
Thanks again... i will not give up. LOL

Whoa girl. Already warm? Not even summer yet. I was on ebay yesterday and saw amazing deals on mini splits. Thats your answer for years of growing. Saw one for like $600 that also had heat pump. That one is the end all for a year round grow. Never have to worry about temps again.

 

[Rosebud]

Yes NC, it is only in the 50s and hotter then heck in that little room.
I don't need anything for heat. but I have to get this "dialed in" a whole lot better or there will be no growing for me either this summer.
Are you glad to take a growing break NC?

Oh yes. The intial cost might throw you off a bit. But remember with these units, they are vastly more efficient than spending couple hundred at Home depot for a unit that will use alot more killowatts. In the long run you save big time. Food for thought.

 

[Rosebud]

Yes, i don't want to even see my power bill and we have cheap power.

 

[slowmo77]

i bought a small a/c for my shop and it ran all summer and the bill only changed about 10$ a month or so. it was a small unit though and only cost $99

 

[Rosebud]

Good to know slowmo. (that was a rhyme)
Thanks.

My grown man son came over this morning to sleep on his day off as something was happening at his apartment building. Anyway, he saw all my floweringg/cloning/veg/ and drying areas. He counted and including my clones I was one over limit. We have always called him Jack Web, for you people that aren't old, he was a very straight cop on a tv show. Anyway
Do you remember the little gold plant that the fan fell on and half broke off? I harvested the other part today. She was showing amber and a lot of cloudy and clear. I thought when amber came, clear left, but not so.

Here is a pic of the little harvest. smells good in here.

 

[lordhighlama]

son keeping you on the strait and narrow. lol
wifey has been on my case the last few days cause I've been burping the cheese I just harvested and it makes the entire house reek of weed within minutes.

 

[SensiStarFan]

I hope you find a good cheap easy way to keep those temps down Rose.
Nice looking buds you have hanging there, hopefully they taste great!

-SSF-

 

[Rosebud]

That is our goal this weekend to figure out what the heck to do that isn't too much money. Thanks Sensi.

I just took the gold plant to the compost and when I pulled her out of her 5 gallon smart pot, it was full of roots side to side but only have the pot was filled laterally. They were all small feeder roots. I was surprised that the last half of the container was just soil. hm.

Burping the cheese, that just sounds bad, but funny. LOL.
Yes Lama, my son is so straight that I wasn't sure how he would take the news of his mom smoking and growing...he just kind of shakes his head. At least he hasnt' busted me. ha. My daughter is thrilled. She used to buy an eighth every now and then, not anymore. Two totally different kids.

 

[niteshft]

Wow, you must have your nutes tuned in for real, Rb. I've seen some of your grows and they are really nice. What was the size of your transfer to that pot?

 

[Rosebud]

Thanks niteshft but I don't know about that. Each new variety is a challenge. But thank you for saying that. I think the gold came out of a one gallon smart pot during the beginning of veg. Those roots were a surprise to me.

 

[the chef]

Nice we'll be expecting a smoke report Rosie!

 

[Rosebud]

well, mr rb is in the flowering room banging around and i am hoping it all turns out ok. Got the duct work to vent the light hoods, got a big asster fan that blows you out of the room. So we shall see. Just getting a bigger fan for in front of the window lowered the temps 5 degrees. So we will see what the venting does. While the plants are out of there for i took some pics. Man they are pretty if i say so myself. I think the nutes have worked and the WW is red.
Have any of you heard of a White widow being red? Here you go...to be cont.

 

[AluminumMonster]

Oh RB, those are gorgeous! The red and pink hues look awesome. You deffinitely have a green thumb.

 

[420_Osborn]

Wow rose those look good!!

Your night time temps gotta be low with kind of coloration??? Or is it just what you would consider "normal" for this one.

 

[niteshft]

I 5 gal buckets do the same thing, one had 2 plants in it as I didn't have the room for another pot. I expected the tap root to go to the bottom but it didn't. Funny, things you find when growing your own.
