SME,

Yes four little holes.

Not sure what is still causing pain, Dr. thinks infection, either due to the surgery or possibly urinary.

GR

Does the pain FEEL like a gall stone pain or is it different?

The main pain is in the area where the gall bladder was, overall my my whole midsection hurts from my breast bone to just below my belly button and all the way around that section of my body, back, sides and abdomen areas.

Now that the box is complete, I am going on this short trip and relax, on antibiotics for 7 days, and hope to be able to get back in my shop and back to work next week.

GR

Yeah man, take it easy and enjoy the trip...

Well back from my trip, feeling a bit better. More Dr. appt's this week.

Well after four days in the cabinet the ladies are looking ok. When I got back I looked at the temps in the cab. and they were high, 88 degrees F. I was shocked as I had not had those temps even before I put the ladies in the cabinet. The plants were wilted, well at least the mainline plants were wilted and the pots were dry. Notice the salts on the outsides of the bags, I am assuming they are salts. I have been using rain water with a ppm of under 10 or RO water with low ppm. Only thing I can figure is the FFOFS is high in salts. Well I will flush again with clean water twice before the next watering and add CT along with my nutes program.



All of the plants, two Q's plus the four clones from these plants.



After examination of the cabinet I found that on the interior wall that separates the grow portion of the cab from the section that the fan dumps into prior to exiting the cab had a hole that had been covered with duct tape came open. The holee was originally put in the box to run the power cords into the other area of the box. So what was happening was the exhaust air was being pulled back into the grow portion of the cabinet. Taped over the hole again with much more tape so all is good. Outside air now is 75 degrees and inside the cab is 80 degrees.

The timer is set and as of 7 PM this evening I will be in 12/12 mode.

Peace out,

GR

Welcome back and I'm glad that you're feeling better.

Is it a lighting angle thing or does the bigger plant on the right look like it's yellowing? Hopefully it'll look better after you flush the salts and then feed.

SME,

It is a light angle thing.

Actually the Mainlined plant in the back left is a bit off color but both of the mainline plants to a hit this weekend but they are perking back up.

So you think it's a salt situation also, I just gave them a good 6.72 pH watering last night, so I will wait a day are so before I do anything else.
Here is my thoughts on flushing them:

Using captured rain water, near neutral pH but adjusting to 6.5 to 6.7.
Placing plants on a grate over a bucket and pour a minimum of 5 gallons of adjusted H2O over and through the soils medium.
Let them drain between each addition of the adjusted H2O, pulling in O2 as they drain.
Put them back under the lights in the 12/12 cycle for two more days then do a slow soak in nutrient solution, using GH Bio Thrive, 2-4-4 @ full rate, GH Liquid CoolBloom 0-10-10 @ half rate, CalMg+ @ full rate, Bio Root, 1-1-1 @ full rate, Bio Bud, 0.5-0.1-1 @ full rate, Bio Marine 2-3-1 @ full rate and some humic acid @ half rate. I will continue this throughout the remainder of flowering, adjusting products as the grow goes along/as needed.

Temps in the box have improved since it repaired the hole in the wall, house temp is 76 and cabinet temp is 79. The humidity is up a bit but I am sure that is due to the heavy watering I gave them yesterday.

I know that this is off topic but I have had some messages to post pictures of my cabinet. Sorry SME if I should not be posting these here.












More in next post!

More of the cabinet.

Wow GR8!

That's a heck of a set up you have there! I'm gonna share those pics with my childhood friend (and general contractor who built 3 homes for me over the years)...maybe try to model something after that set up! Very impressive...great descriptions too, thanks!

Now to mention the greenery you got going on..fantastic...seems to be set up for some major flowering very soon! Did I read that you haven't transplanted recently? I only transplanted once...from seedling in a quart container to my current 5 gallon containers. How often do you normally transplant? Do you max out with 3 gallon smart pots? Forgive my questions if you have already answered previously, I've been reading so many of our journals on this forum, I sometimes lose track of who is doing exactly what...although I certainly know that you are the mainlining man!!

Thanks
ICB
