Soon to be veg room, needs door. I'm putting my aero-cloner together, that will be next to mommies and clones
Welcome to my humble abode!
The View to your right...
and to your left (well, i guess it's right in front of you) Most of these I just transplanted last night. I'm hoping that will take care of the burning/deficiency. I need to get an oscillating fan in there, that box fan pushes the ones in front a bit much.
Smaller group of 6 and 2 larger ones in front are the mids
A nice Blueberry bush
unknown 1 (the 4th pic has 8 more clones of these)
Stalk on the right is unknown 2
Diesel 1
Diesel 2 top
2 nice Blue Widow bushes
and the White Widow

Brand new Can Fan - 8" High Output 737cfm
That should do it nicely 
This puppy if fucking awesome! It sounds like a jet engine when it starts up. I need to get a speed controller and they were out of them at the grow store when I went. Now I just need to figure out how to mount this.....
I also picked up a 50lb bale of
Sun Gro® Sunshine® Mix #4 Aggregate Plus Professional Growing Mix
I think this will work the best for me because I'll be using mineral based ferts with tap water so I don't want anything with organics in it.
Now I just have to finish my cloner and take cuttings then I can transplant the biggest six plants and start 12/12 after maybe a week? How long should I wait after transplanting to 5gal pots to start 12/12?

Clones!
So here is my cheap ass aeroponic clone box, sitting under 150-175w CFL
Made with a rubbermade tube that opens with a hinge. Inside we have 3x 6" air stones in about 2/3gal dH2O with ~2tsp H2O2 and ~10ml superthrive. pH was brought up to 6.5-7
PUMPS ON!
After about 5min this is what we want to see on the underside of the top
After taking cuttings they were placed in tap water ~room temp
 
Before placing into the cloner
Trimming to the proper height. The water level is about even with the line in the middle of the tub
In the box she goes
She sits in a piece of foam, the same kind I lined my room with, with a little foam boulder holder her steady
Trim the fat off
Three little White Widows. 2 of them are from the same branch, I want to see how they root
Fill the bitch up!
Check under the hood
Step back
And rejoice

Re: Nanooks 1400w Igloo FULL POWER! [Re: Nanook]

So I just went full power last night and turned on the 600w after hooking up the fan and new duct. The Can fan replaced a Dayton 265cfm blower that will replace the two CPU fans on my intake.
Goodbye!
Temps before Can fan: 88-92F
Temps after Can fan: 86-88F but they have been rising, it's been cold here for this time of year and is getting warmer  And that's with an extra 600w of lights.
I'm hoping that by making the blower an intake fan I will be able to lower the speed of the Can fan and reduce some of the noise but also make it cooler? There's a lot of noise btw, in my room (which has the igloo on one side and the duct running across the ceiling to the window) it sounds like there are two fans. One in the igloo and one at the window where the duct reduces from 6" to 4". I plan on replacing the reduction with an expansion to fit the whole window pane thereby opening the exit and reducing the noise. I also might order a duct muffler, I understand that would lower the noise outside?
I want air cooled reflectors but all the ones I've seen were at least $85 x 3 lights = $255. How much do you guys think that would lower the temps?
The plants are loving the extra light though I decided I'm going to transplant the 10 plants I have in 1gal pots to 5gal pots and remove the extra plants. Some will go outside and some will go in the veg closet to be either the next round or mommies for the rounds to come... we'll see.
I'm using some temporary nutrients atm, I ran out of the HESI TNT veg nutes and the only place around me that sells it is a bit out of the way with shitty hours.
So I'm using Vigoro 10-10-10 liquid plant food I got last year from the Home de Pot. I mixed at a little less than 1/4 cap-full which is ~1.5-2tsp in 2.5 gal of tap water with about 10-15ml of Superthrive, pH adjusted to 5.5-6. This will soon be going to all the plants in veg until I get more HESI. After I transplant they will be getting the HESI bloom complex and after 4 weeks the Phosphor Plus will be added. I'm still not sure if I should do 2 or 3... or even 4 week cycles 
*more pics to come*

PICS
Clones: The labels on a few of them got smeared off so they are a mystery.
These are all from unknown commercial grade bagseed, going outside soon.
Here are all the vegging plants that were under the hps, there is WW, BW, U1, and 6 Unknown Bagseed confirmed female. These will also be going outside.
    
And here we have Day 15 of flower, first a map of the garden, note the BW in both pics for orientation:
 
Diesel to the left, 3 plants of different seed from the same feminized pack. These were just turned around so the leaves facing us have yet to reorient themselves to the new light angles.
   
The BW in the center, under the 600w'er.
   
To the right, U1 in the back and WW in the front.

Here we go folks! It's about day 28 into bud here at the igloo, temps have been good, 81.5 to 86.5 F at day, 76ish at night. I will be starting soon with the HESI Phosphorus Plus at 20ml per 2 gal. The buds are getting bigger, thicker, frostier and stankier every day!
I have pics from day 25 and day 28 here, and honestly, most of them suck. My camera broke and the zoom lens is stuck out so I had to stand about 8ft away to get these pics, and it's hard to focus now. I should be getting a new one by the next update.
Day 25
BW
  
Diesel
  
Mostly BB and U1 and U2
 
Day 28
Unknown 1
    
Blue Berry
  
White Widow

A bud preview, this time from Diesel#2
Day 46
My camera is still broke and getting pics under the HPS is hard. I will try to get more when the lights go out. I clipped this bud because of the red/white hair ratio. The trichs are 40/60 clear/cloudy. Only a few amber ones on the bud. It was off a lower branch that was about 30" away from the bulb. The buds within 15" of the bulbs are huge, fat, dense and much more resinous than this sample. The hairs up top are >20% red, lots of new hair growth lately.
Through the looking glass:

Oh yes, that plant in particular, I think from all the supercropping. Any way, more pics!
But first! Just so you know, there has been a pH issue with a couple Diesels and U#2. pH of the runoff was <5.5 So I have been adding water with a pH of >8 to compensate as pulling them out to drench the pots would be a pain in the ass at this point.
I am now flushing all the plants but U#1 and the BB, watering with just water now at the start of week 8.
First the Veg closet, plants on the right are a friends, he put them in some crappy Miracle Grow soil and they are getting a little stressed as they get bigger, too many nutes I think?
Veg Closet atm
Big one's a male
Other large potted ones are confirmed fems, not sure if u can see in the pics
 
these are the old clones and the one in the back is from a friend, got a bit crispy and had 2 growth tips survive, it's been in new soil for a week now, doing good
found this little guy on one of the females, had to smash him, the stinger was intimidating, but he was no match 
Now for some bud shots!
DAY 56
White Widow
WW in the back, BB on the right, U1 up front, U2 on the left
Blue Berry and Unknown 1
Unknown 1
Unknown 2
Diesel
 
Blue Widow - harvested about 3/4oz I guess, 10% amber trichs, still lots of buds on those 2 plants, now some of the lower ones are getting more light.

I almost forgot! I fried my timer
I guess adding the dehumidifier to the power strip plugged into the timer was a bit too much. With the lights, fan AND the dehumidifier it was pulling close to or more than the 15 amps the timer was rated for. 
I noticed when the lights didn't go out when they were supposed to. I went to check the timer and found it like this, it was all hot and soft, the switch inside melted I guess because it wouldn't turn off. Luckily I have like 3 other grounded timers.
Any recommendations for heavy duty timers that don't cost $200 like some I looked at?

Here are a few more pics. I clipped these buds the next day (day 57) from first the same BW plant as before, then a nice Diesel bud for good measure. Actually it was in the way. After trimming the BW buds I had room to move the 600W down a few inches and that Diesel bud was a little close to the bulb, had about 10% amber trichs and looked juicy as fuck. So I clipped it.

Thanks for the appreciation. As for the manicuring style, I know leaves taste bad and have fewer trichomes, but I have found that the best cured buds I've had were cured with some leaf still on the bud. This could be a coincidence. I still want to try different things, like not manicuring until the bud is dry.
Anyways.... I have harvested all but 2 plants now. There is still 1 each U1 and U2 alive. I yielded more than I expected  I was hoping for 2-3oz per plant and I'm getting 3.5-4oz 
How 'bout some pics?
Lets start with some bud shots just after a few massive trim sessions:
U1 hanging up, mostly WW on the shelf
 
Wet WW taken @ 10.5 weeks 12/12
   
Wet U1 also 10.5wks
 
Wet U2 - 10.5wks just one bud, the rest of the plant is alive
After 1 week, the Diesels were taken
        
At that point, there was still the Blue Berry plant to trim
 
Now there has been some time for shit to dry and cure, so this is what we're looking at right now:
BW
 
U1
   
U2
 
WW
    
And this is the hash I've made so far with the BW trim
