Greeting all, its been a hard week in the grow this week. I recently moved into a rental after selling my own home. And i thought that I would have a decent amount of time before I would have any kind of inspection, disturbance or need to move my grow from its home in a garage under the house...well then on Friday I get a text from the landlord to tell me I need to open up the garage in a weeks time so that they can lay waterproof membrane layer due to new Govt moisture laws....fuuuucckkkk here I am in week 6, with plants that are monsters, stink to high heaven...not to mention a veg tent that has gotten out of control due to my compulsive need to pop new seeds....but obviously in prohibition land its a little hard to explain the discreet details of why this is such a great inconvenience to me, to my new land lord...."yeah sure thing mate, I'll have the space clear for you". But alas all is not lost...luckily I live in a house on my own...so the grow has been moved to a back bedroom. Which now in hindsight is actually a better place for it. The room has a heatpump/AC unit and is much taller than the garage which had about 1mm of space between tent and roof. I was worried about my autopots leaking onto the wooden floors...as I have done this serval times in garages, but I think i have sorted a hack. I have extra large drip trays that the autopots sit in now. I also have reduced my reservoir to 30L encase there is a leak. Obviously the tent has the second bottom layer for leaks, but those arent trust worthy. I could switch to hand watering, but i like the autopot system when it works well, as I an be lazy and life gets in the way of watering.
But F me..this move has taken a huge amount of time. The night I moved my flower tent, I was working from 9pm to 1am. I had to do it under the cover of night for clandestine reasons. The dam plants stuck up my back yard in the process. The Sonic was about 7ft tall sitting in the wheel barrow, and couldn't fit through a doorway, so it got mangled a lot and we lost a couple limbs in the process...Oh and I accidentally drought stressed her, when my autpots failed and I came in and the coco was bone dry and leaning from the weight of the plant ahhhhhhhh yeah fun times. She sitting in her new home now and could be worse...could have lost her all together.
The Zkittles is going well, she smells beautiful, to me its very much reminiscent of blueberry terps. She is getting some big chunky old bunds on her too. She was fine in the move. Nothing phased her
The ARC has come around a little, bust is still to light green, very easy to spot in the photo. She hasn't really produced a tone of trichs yet or odour so yeah thats a bummer. But who knows how plants may progress. I moved her our from directly under the light and she is way happier. The Critical Neville is the big lanky girl bottom right. Her main stem got bent in the move, she her the roof when moving her because shes about 190cm on the ground. I taped her up and crossed my fingers.
The hammer is ticking along, she is the smallest plant in the room, but she has been stable and was easy to move haha which was nice.
Well I'm shattered after moving all these tents and plants. My flower tent was pain to put together because all the labels on the poles wiped off, and they need a particular order. It was like playing stoned rubix cube trying to find the right poles. I took the opportunity to properly label each pole, so next time I have an inspection ....which without doubt will come...it super easy to put the bugger back together again. Its good I got this out of the way now. Because the new setup is much easier to hide in a hurry and doesn't involve having to move plants from a garage very visible from the road.
Alright...I think I have vented enough now. Time to smoke some ganja to remind me the love of the game & the reason we take the risks we take.
