Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[dagobaker]

looking good
ive build the veg double unit via skunks design and its up and running....just added 4 more sprayers to it for better coverage....with a 400 pump 14 will be easy to push
im still not sure about my next step
was thing about doing a double set up like skunks but maybe only 6 plants in each unit or maybe 5 foot long and 8 plants in each

How do you think fogponics would take to this system stink. I read about it in high times a month or two ago and they had nothing but good things to say about it... How do you feel about fogmonics opposed to misters or evan working with them?

yes SB mentioned earlier that it would be hard to fog organic nutrients due to their larger particle size.

ive been running a fogger in the cloner for about 2 months now... it runs off of the pump timer. people say alot of things, itl raise the temp of your res, itl throw your ph off, the discs wear out fast, blah blah blah. Ive had none of these issue, though the results arent staggaring either. ones you get the roots to initiate, then youll see some serious growth, but didnt shorten time it takes to root.

Here are my girls four weeks into flower. Some Columbian Gold (seeds were over 22 years old!) and Flying Dutchman's "The Pure" and "Bubblicious"

They don't seem to be adding much bud mass! But are covered with trichs!

Thanks so much to "StinkBud" and all the "Stinkbuddies" here! I NEVER would have come this far without you all!

My mom has lung cancer and this will ease her pain much! She has lost waaaay too much weight. This should fix it! The marijuanol pills drag her waaaaay down.

Thanks again,

Milt

completed my design and built for my flower unit
4 3/4" Fence posts
Tough Box 27 Gallon
doubled & lifted spry lines
15" max height off the ground
holds 18 gallons for two weeks cycle

That is totally sweet! Could you provide the dimensions of the tote? I am looking for one 28.5" long.

After harvest I will remote mount my res and then size will not be a problem.

Thanks,

milTON

I remember being in my drivers education class and smoking Columbian Gold with my class mate. It was the first weed I smoked in the 80's and I loved it, (ok I coughed my brains out). Hope the medicine works for your mom.

Yep, the seeds are from some killer Gold. I managed to keep them this long! The Gold will be for me. The "Pure" and "Bubblicious" are much smoother and will be for "Ma".

I really can't believe they even germinated! I think they will take longer to finish even though they are the tallest. The buds just seem to be stalled. Not adding any
weight but the plant grows! Where are the "Kolas"?

It is my first grow so I really am not expecting "perfection". But really was hoping for "BIG BUDS"!

Hey milton I have a bunch of old seeds too. Mine come from an old hippy and they were kept in a black 35 mm jar, completely full of seeds. This guy collected all the best seeds out of his buds and he's in his 50's. I get about a 60% germ rate which is exceptional considering the age of the genetics. I've pulled a couple plants out of the seeds that were really funky purple. We had one brand of weed the "purple parapalegic" that would make you lose the ability to function on higher levels.

im at page 207 reading this... i just had a crazy idea about the timer issue. as of page 207 and i think still now there is no cheap alternative. i have a timer that will do 30 min on/off intervals that i bought at home depot. I find it works, but i'd like to feed for less time. running two timers in sequence i think i could get 15 mins on 45 mins off.

lets divide time into 15 minute intervals



TIME 0--15--30--45--60--75--90--105--120--135--150--165--180
TIMER 1 on on off off on on off off on on off off on
TIMER 2 off on on off off on on off off on on off off
RESULT 0FF ON OFF OFF OFF ON OFF OFF OFF ON OFF OFF OFF

this would get 15 on 45 off with those cheapo half hour timers.

edit; nope wouldnt work. gonna keep reading lol.

Awesome! I had about a ninety percent germination.
They were also in a black film cannister but were also in a small ziploc bag. Very large seeds compared to the "SuperGenetic" seeds from Holland. They had big "Tiger Stripes" and "Leopard Spots" on them. I just put them in a moist paper towel in plastic cup. I left them a little too long as most were about two to three inches long when I returned! They were very tall and stretchy to start with.

I am thinking of trying some of these :http://www.highgrade-seeds.com/seedlist.html

Scroll about halfway down until the "Vintage Seed Mix"
is visible.

What do you think? Long flowering times! I think that is part of my problem with the small buds. Lots of time left.

Won't work unless your timers are digital and run on battery. Think about it, when the first timer is off so will the second, and when the second is off it will not run down the time.

lol wow good point. teach me to smoke and think.

 

[dragonbud]

I went to that site and that stuff looks good, I see they take the classic 70's and mix them with white widow, killer shit. You don't necessarily have to spend big money to get the dankity dank. I got some strawberry blue going (legend collection) and I still have a seed of pure gold whatever that is ('tude freebie). I am trying to stay away from any sativa dominant strains for my stinkbud units.

This is as cheap as its going to get most likely, short of building one yourself. And even then its probably not worth it.
