It shouldn’t be too bad sport. You’ve only got one plant in there.

Got the fan, gonna put it in today. Problem solved! Might as well go ahead and hook up the new AI controller while I’m at it. The new fan uses the UIS hookup and the old one didn’t. Had to buy a conversion cable for the old 67 controller hookup, still in the package and now with the old fan quitting I don’t need the cable any more, still in the package. With the new AI controller I will be able to control the humidity heat, all the fans and keep my VPD spot on. Guess sometimes there is a silver lining to everything.

Well got the fan in. Turns out it wasn’t the fan, it was the controller. I had already purchased the AI + controller, but was going to wait until I put the new tent up to install it. So now I have two working 6" duct fans. They also changed the hookup on these so had to order a dongle to work with the old controller. So didn’t need that either.
Here is the Dragon’s Flame Genetics seedlings I have started. Took the pic a few days ago.

Yes, it’s been a long time since I had great big leaves like this on such small seedlings. Hope this line is as good as everyone says it is.
Past time for some really dank bud lol !

Hello Marty,
Hope all is well! I enjoyed reading your thread. Thanks for sharing your pine bark mulch technique. I’m definitely going to use it the first chance I get. How’s that Asian fantasy? Iet me know how it smokes. It’s definitely super bushy. I guess the mystery of the Asian fantasy strain continues…

It smokes good, nice flavor but not much in the way of terps (smell). Good high, not overwhelming but definetely a good buzz. Got the seeds from Growers choice seeds. Don’t make the mistake I made with the pine bark, I didn’t clean it just put it on top of my pots, it had leaf hopper eggs or larvae in it. I had them little buggers by the hundereds. Took a lot of work to get rid of them, yellow sticky cards and finally 3 sprays of neem oil finally got them. A warning on the Asian Fantasy. Don’t top the plants, just let them grow naturally, I topped mine 3 times and the tops got so dense that it was a royal pain to clean them. HTH

I have the BMS BX1 at 40 days now. They reek! I have never had 9 inch plants stink like this ever. I am really looking forward to the end of harvest. Kinda pricey as 10 regs were $106. 8 came up out of 10. I’m pretty sure that 4 of them are girls, so that works out to $20 a seed lol…but if it is as good as I think it will be I’m gonna be a happy camper.

Yep and I bought 3 albeit the expensive ones…so I get 12 packs free, and the three I bought. And I already have WAY too many of his stuff. I think I am without the stuff still coming up to 35 packs.
Here’s the BMS BX1 as of two minutes ago.
They are a little droopy, I just watered them a hour ago, and they get droopy after getting watered. About 9-9.5 inches tall. 40 days old.

This is the last pic of the Betty, she will be coming down on Sat. Getting my soil, have my auto pots all put together, and will be moving the Blackberry Moonshine BX1 into the tent and ramping back up to 18/6.
Don’t care if she can go longer or not. Best guess is she is at 15 weeks flower. She is 2" from the light and the light is at 5 ft.

Ok guys just gonna keep this as the grow log. And continue on this year instead of starting a new one.
Here is the girls and guys, yes running regs and gonna pollinate a few branches or buds and get some seed from this grow.
This is called Blackberry Moonshine it’s a BX1.
Got them potted up in the Autopot system that I bought about 6 months ago.
I have one male in the fabric pot in the back so I can get it out of the tent, don’t want the whole shebang to get pregnant lol.
Still have to hook up the water tank and lines, the lines coming out are for the air domes in the bottom and will get hooked up to a air pump. Should keep the bottom of the pots full of oxygen and keep the roots healthy.
And off we go…They are starting with ultra happy roots

They are settling in nicely. Three days in the Build a Soil, added some Colorado worm casting as a top dress and watered with a blend of seaweed and Fulvic acid tea. They are really liking it.
Two of these are Males, gonna make some seed. Only got three females out of 8 seeds that came up.
The AutoPots are not hooked up yet, still just top watering letting the roots get down to the bottom for the bottom feed. I think a week will do it.

Well I just got a nice surprise, I decided to grow a autoflower from Fast buds in one of the four Autopots. The bottom left is a male, I was thinking that is really stupid to grow a male in the same tent as I will have the whole place pollinated and I only want one or two limbs to make seeds, so I ripped the male out of the autopot, and the roots are already down to the bottom of the pot in just three days, and they were THICK and everywhere.
So now I gotta get my butt busy and hook up the reservoir tomorrow and hook up the air pump and air lines and get this going. I plan on cropping the tops of the three girls and the way they are growing I’m gonna do that tomorrow too.
And somehow I have to get clones off these soon. I think they will probably be ready to flower in at most 2.5 weeks.
The other male in the room is in a fabric pot and can be moved out, so the final will be one Auto, and three photo girls. I’m soaking the Auto seeds now and will just pop them in the autopot around 6 tonight and let them sprout right in the soil in the autopot.

Well cleaned the leaves off that Sativa I had to get out of the tent that has been hanging for about 4-5 days. Took a pick of one of the side buds. This stuff is ugly as far as bag appeal, but boy will it knock you dick stiff lol.
Hope everyone is having a great day, beautiful here in St. Louis, sunny and warm. Buddies coming over and gonna surprise him with a bowl of this.
