She has 4 v18 @ 1.05A with dual active cooling powered by a quad-channel Inventronics driver. Just entry level stuff nothing too major. It was a fun build.

Beautiful day- 22 shots, over there!
Motivational peek..
And ye Petro has a clean style. His lights, his soil recipes, they don't play.
Don't know how to.

 

[greasemonkeymann]

Painting the vertical 2x2's black as well

Gonna be Rasta themed
Next is yellow..

Shit, you're lucky we love ya man...

Bonjour
For me it is a very clean diy panel...one of the most beautiful I ever seen without casing!
My next panel will be black...too bad!
Is it a 120w driver...inventronic look like a good source for driver and have multiple channel...and are easy to find in EU!
I have to confess that it is the first time I have such big bud at day 22...when I open the 4x4 with the 600hps next I want to cry...it is like there is 2/3 week difference between the 2 and in fact there is 1day...I already convert all the growers I know well...and more so know I have more friends...a lots in fact!
Now I have to learn from you organic guys and see what I can do with products available in EU!
Have a great day ★

It was in ~20 gallon (75l). It was big for a rooftop plant , real big. There it was maybe around 3 months, but she was cut down to almost nothing quite a few times, just kept getting bigger.

Ill tell you later on the high as have some going now which i will let go for however long required. I juiced the whole plant.

 

[oldbikepunk]

Lmao, this is classic shit. I love you guys.

I admit, I might be a workaholic or do i mean alco/herboholic, jk i only drink one bottle a week, never even had a 5gallon jug yet, though i have an extra dispenser cooler..
To clear the air, my girls great and been helping renovate and might have even successfully cloned some SLCh for the gravyites lurking patiently.. I'll leave her out of this, but she is the one who mentioned getting back on here today. I've just been deadly busy.
monkeyman, you and Petro boil er down like a couple grannies in a bingo hall at the town harvest, all day, no gimmicks.
Keep it up!

Hello Don, I follow your site here too now. I guess i "lurked" a bit just reading. I've done tons of outdoor normal vegetable growing with three kids I raised with a wife 20 years...goneskies..kids good. Had huge compost pile, chickens, rabbits, outdoor terrapins, a small dog, etc., live large beetle colony in a compost pile 15+ years old, 12 feet long, three feet to a foot deep. the Beetle larvae had tunnels thumb-thick straight down under the compost. anyway. scared of live bugs indoors, but following the all-dirt, no added nutrients, just dirt method you're rocking. Use TGA strains, clones, and crosses between. There are a few of us on Cannoli, your site, TGA by other's etc.,. Enjoying the banter, the practice, and all of it. 51 yrs. old. 35 year daily smoker, no kinda police record, grown kids, still around, etc. . good to see you back.

My Durban is a 10 yr In bred line. I use it in crosses now, but no Durban looks like the Durban I have had. I only grow it indoors crossed with other strains. I'd grow and make seeds on 6-10 plants a year for a decade. I have pure seeds from at least six mothers and crosses with all kinds, but it's so Sativa and never thickened or did much good. I burned it all and ate it all. But in crosses...it breaks out of it's anise, gross-licorice odor..what I like to call Mexican or 'Lumbo'. I'm 50+. Lumbo is short for Colombian in 1980 or so. Brick weed. My Durban IBL is a pure Sativa for crosses. In my opinion. Kids hate it.

My Durban is like Mexican or Colombian weed is what I'm saying. I'm making some unique crosses. I keep pure pollen too from all my males because I'm fanatic. four year old pollen makes seeds. Just sitting in a storage locker even.

Here is how I collect pollen. This is an unreleased TGA strain called "Purple Death Star". It's Querkle x DeathStar. Death Star is Sour Diesel x Sensi Star from a known breeder. This male is not random. It is the last-showing, shortest, stockiest, slowest growing of three male Purple DeathStar plant's. Following WeedNed, yes 'Ned', WeedNerd's theory of recessive genetics-don't use the dominant male, i had a huge one, a medium, and this slow-poke. It's on glass, near no female's blooming, and it'll pop out it's pollen on this clean glass. Which i will razor up and store. I will cross and make Insane seeds from ridiculously renowned females. Mickey Kush. Sour Secret. True OG. Deep Purple (slow as fuck) Urkle OG home-made. And a crazy cross five years in the works which smells like nothing sold. Gonna do the same with a male 9 Lb Hammer. A male is not a loss or a waste. The plant i clipped these tops from can now survive in a small container, take up no space, and be accessible for future projects.

Bonjour
What I read here and everywhere on RIU makes me want to start to try to make my own seeds...since I had a vegg box I can go for regular seeds and I am going to have male so instead of throw it...I will use the pollen of the best one...who know I could have good surprise!??
I really want to try tga strains...maybe JTR, Mikey kush, Qwerkle...I want to start with 2 strains...1 with a haze, encens, sental wood taste, 1 purple fruity and maybe a very productive one!
Or even good cross of his strains!
Do you have advices?
Have a nice day!

The female Mickey Kush i sprouted was topped and it went straight to staying short and getting wide. The Deep Purple is soo slow. Un-topped it still is barely moving. Which makes is the more desirable and slow Urkle dominant. Dr. Who is growing reasonably. 9 lb Hammer was the absolute slowest to show sex and would not show until two months later and finally put under 12 hour. It was assumed male and i topped it as it is tall. It is female. A Sour Secret seed did the same thing. Appeared to be a stocky male. I use something to magnify and look after a month for miniature signs of male or white pistils without turning down lights or taking clones to sex. Most plants show in six weeks or so. But some hold out and i flower them to force it after that long. I keep males but you don't need a ton. i save one of each i want & collect pollen or keep it small in 18 hr chamber. Querkle is also heinously slow. I have one of those too. Size/hieght- 9lb, Mickey kush has good stockiness, followed by Dr who, Querkle, and Deep Purple. Of what if have going now. Agent Orange and 3D were good indoors. Cloned easy. Chernobyl is amazing and is tall and stringy and super sticky. I like them all but i am not growing for anyone or a schedule. For instance, Platinum GSC is expensive and sought after. No wonder. it has a quarter or less of the speed of a cousin plant called Sherbet. Key Lime Pie...tall and skinny. All will be good. I like variety. i have GSC cuttings three inches to a Sherbet at over a foot. Cut on same day, etc., and primitively rooted with nearly 100% success rate. Alien OG..good and thick. THC Bomb a close second.
