The screen serves two purposes really. To train the plant and to hold the plant off the light. The screen will be behind the plant, so I will be tying it back.
This is exactly why I do this. Glad you got something from it.
Dude I can't wait to fill these things. I really can't even imagine all the green that will be in there. There will be a green glow when I open the door. I can' wait.
I'll definitely pick that up... thanks for the info on the mag and the hygrozime. Glad you are along for the ride. You can post the pics up here too if you feel like it.
One thing we disagree about is the spending for more thing. I forget the thread, but you said if $50 gets you 1.5 pounds and another $50 gets you another ounce, you would never do that.and then there's price...
I pay a hundred bucks for 15 GALLONS of 50% h2o2... that lasts a really long tome ...
Hygrozyme is $40 for a little bitty bottle...
The way I look at it, I either be paying around $400 for that ounce in a co-op, or I would end up selling the ounce for more than $50 (legally of course).
There is no way I can argue with the logic that if 50 gets you 24 and 100 gets you 25, the 50 is cheaper, more efficient and easier... but I still like fine tuning.
I kinda see it like car racing... it's that last .01 second that makes ALL the difference.
All this isn't to say that I beleive more money means more bud. I don't beleive that. I like findng deals and don't feel as if I have been ripped off by my nute company. If I break it down I think it will cost me about $70 a grow for my nutes... even with all those bottles.
I'm very much enjoying our discussion here. Thanks for starting it jesse.

I agree with you bro...
I have just been a more bang for buck kinda guy...
Everything is sooo expensive...
and you gotta remember I got almost 400 gallons of nute solution to deal with...lol..
I am DEFF. not the guy out driving a race car... (your analogy was PEREFCT.. that last 0.1 sec is VERY expensive..
)
I am the guy driving the pedal bike... listening to some Bob Marley..
It's just a different focus..
I want to bring my grams per dollar rating as GOOD as I can...
When I do the same thing as everyone else is doing at 2/3 the cost... I will be happy..

I want to do way better than anyone else, spending about an average amount of money. (not saying I'll ever get there... but aim high right).gypsybush said:When I do the same thing as everyone else is doing at 2/3 the cost... I will be happy..
I love it. We both have out things and I think we do them well.
For real this IS my race car. I'm not rich. Don't even have a job. So the idea of me building my own race car is impossible. It's too much money. If it was that important to me I would get a job just to pay for a car... but what would be the point of that.
With race cars there are two kinds of owners... those that pay people to build them and those that do the work themselves. I would have been like the second kind with a car... and I try to be that way with the grows. So this grow, this closet is what I can spend hours and hours on making it better than anyone has ever seen before.
The only problem with it all is that I can't send you all a nug to smoke.

here's a few at 48 days. Looking forward to seeing your vert grow Jig. The Second photo is Sour Grapes, last is Strawberry cough x Deep Chunk, the rest are CJ's. The cough has purple veins going threw the trichome stalks, pretty sick looking. Great Journal Jig, Killer nugs. Thanks for letting me throw up some photos.

Hey no problem. Glad you got some people who know way more than I to add to it!
I like to think of myself as the "Joe the Plumber" of this discussion.
On a side note...my dehumidifer has my rh at 41-44% max!
It sucked 21 pints of water out of the air in just under 18 hours, dropping the rh from 57% to 44%.
I am so excited, I thought I'd post here and tell you! After all the fan leaves I yanked off either in or near budsites, I am really starting to feel more convinced I can ward off the mold this time round! Well anyway man, I am excited to see this from the genesis!
And rep+ to Mike for some bad ass plants!

Thanks hulk. appreciate that. Good to see you.
GTO, Xeno glad to have you along.
Tahoe and jesse, I'm putting you two in charge of humidity in the penthouse... seems like you both know how to keep it dry for extra resin.
MikeJones.... DAAAAAMMMMN man. Those plants are bomb. I am seriously excited now. The cj is looking soo good. Aw man they all look good. Thanks for sharing, love the pics.
I got two things... one is I ground up some of my herb tonigh and found a seed. Weird. Full size and everything. I'd think it was from somewhere else, but I don't have anything else.... OH WAIT. Damn, the mystery of it. I bought that gram of the planewreck. I totally don't remember if I put any in the grider... I don't think I did, so it must be mine. I don't know.... damn seeds trippin me out. You'd think I would have seen one by now. Can a plant only make 5 seeds?
2nd thing is the girls are growing real good roots. I can see them sticking out the side of the net pots now.
There is a tiny tiny bit of new growth on each plant, but I mean tiny. Pics wouldn't get it.
I am excited for these girls to start going... however was just thinking today that in a month I'll probably be freaking out with how fast they are growing.
Hope to have something to take a picture of soon.

I'm really looking forward to seeing some pics of your V Scrog in action. I've been debating doing this myself, so thanks in advance for doing all the work!
With my last 2 girls my RH was kept between 18-38% RH. I did notice that the leaves would dry and start to cup or canoe, but nothing to get alarmed about. The amount of resin was incredible and my dry/cure time was not as long as I thought it would be. The colas dried in about a week and cured for 4. Smoked like a cuban and I had guys asking where the "flame" came from.
This time around my RH is 38 to 49% and the girls love it! Very happy and no dry "skin." I also invested in some penerator and liquid light. What a difference! I swear the stems and main branches look like oak trees.

Hey survolte... glad to see you on RIU.
DG... man how have you been. Great to see you again. I'm glad the you knocked out the first round. Sounds like the second round will be even better.
Liquid Light is just wild huh? Swear it makes the plants twice as big and vibrant. And the penetrator is a must for any spray you use. It works with everything.
Word on the street is that you went soil this time... that's cool. I'm hope it works just as well... I know you'll love the easy maintinance.
Thanks for the report on how things are going. I'm glad your friends were impressed with the mystery weed (where the hell did this come from?).
You're like famous in a weird way.
I'll update everyone on my plants later. They haven't done much... I've been neglecting them. The pH was way off and still is... just the other way. I'm going to change the water and set them strait. I hope 1 weef neglect doesn't mess them up too much.

Well... thanks to tahoe and jesse things have stayed nice and dry... ave humidity for the past week is 27%. That would be great is I didn't have sweet little clones that would like a bit of moisture. So guys... cut it out, haha. But seriously, I'm going to put a humidifier in there. Just too dry. Wish I could put a damn humidifier in my nose. Gotta love living in the desert. At least I haven't been burned by any fires yet.
So... other than the dry, the girls have been suffering from my lack of attention paid to them. I changed the water for both... it had been one week. The ph in the Casey Jones tank was 6.20... the other 6.05. Oops. Oh well. The CJ had big fan leaves yellow and die. The SG is dark green and has a bit of 'the claw' (am i using that correctly).
I think the Casey Jones likes more nutes than the Sour Grape. It's nice to be able to do something about it as they have different tanks, woohoo.
The CJ is at 970ppm... SG at 900 ppm. The water temps started at 69 and climbed to 72 over the week. Room temp has been between 70 at night to at the most 80 during the day... mostly 75 or so.
The roots look pretty good. Is that good for a week... I don't remember last grow.
I also really have to figure out what I'm doing with changing the rez'. The problem with the pump I bought is that it has a minimum operating speed. And that min speed is Frickin FAST. So it either doesn't work... or it sucks water at an alarming rate. I feel like even with the strainer/ filter thing on, I will still suck all the roots off the plants. So I think I"m going to buy a normal water pump that you plug in. Still going to try for an inline pump... use the hoses sticking out the tanks. Then to fill I think I will use an extra bucket to mix the solution in... then pump it into the tanks.
Let me know any thoughts or questions.
Things are on track now... so we should see some noticable growth soon.
The first three pics are the Casey Jones.
The next three are the Sour Grape.
Last is of the new ducting set up... the light draws air from inside the closet. The thing on the door is supposed to be a light trap... kinda works a tiny bit, haha. I'm going to paint it inside when I make it to the hardware store.
