i've been thinking of doing an outdoor scrog for this upcoming grow season with some purple extreme cuttings maybe a few white rhinos what you think?
We are so 'G', haha.
I don't know about an outdoor scrog. I think it would be more work than good. The sun should pretty much light up the whole plant pretty good. Maybe some sort of cylindrical trellis surrounding the whole plant incase the buds get too heavy... and you could also spread it out the way you wanted.
Really impressed with your grow and ingenuity. + rep, spent all night reading this, glad to know its not even finished yet.
Right on Dayute... glad to have you. Sorry took me so long to reply back.
Wow, Jig.. amazing.
I can't even remember how I started on your blog, or maybe it was your youtube video about growing like you.. but here I am after 5+ hours of reading this. (It's also 5 AM here in San Diego and I have to work in a few hours.. haha well worth it). I feel like I know you as a person, not just some phenomenal grower with an amazing attention to detail. Sorry to hear about all the heart ache, and ups and downs.. at least you have this amazing crop and detailed chronicle to show for it. Maybe even some scrills from the surplus harvest? (legal of course) Haha good luck getting your wife pregnant as well!
As far as the grow.. it's amazing the Casey Jones yielded so much more under identical conditions. Crazy how much of the herb's potential is in it's genes. I'm growing one of your favorites strains, Purple Kush right now. (It's soil, which I'm not sure if you were trying to discourage from using.. or just gave up on?) She is about 4 feet tall under 6, 4 feet HO T5's.. I am going to move her to my bathroom soon for a full flower bathing in a 1,000 w HPS. I want to get comfortable before I cycle 5 or 6 plants.. plus the 1,000 watt was $100 on Craig's list with bulb, hood, and remote ballast, plus what the heck.. go big or go home! Quick question for you.. after all your observation, do you see any need for MH bulbs for flowering, or would you have stuck to total HPS?
Thank you very very much for taking your time to make this post. For your amazing attention to detail, and your willingness to help others. It is so amazingly appreciated and I know I am not the only one who has been inspired. Can't wait for the final yield total..
Maybe I could stop by the next boarding trip up to Bear.. I'm gonna dream about those CJ buds from what little sleep I get tonight
I can't even say how much your post means. Totally made my day for more than one day.
I think I may just go with all HPS next time on a vert grow like that. I think the key to MH, HPS mixing is to have them near the same location... so the plants get a good mix. With my setup the tops got HPS the bottoms MH. No real mix anywhere... but my first two grows kinda had the HPS and MH hitting the plants at the same time.
Thanks again for the kind words and well wishes. That's very nice of you.
so hows the weather treatin u? lol everyone down here is freakin the F out like the worlds gonna end cuz we have tornados and tsunami warnings with floods and mudslides lol. were thinkin bout makin a run up to big bear this week when the rain slows down and roads clear up. maybe ill have to bring the bags up to u and get a lil SG sample for myself
Yeah man... I guess that was a while ago now... but we got almost 2 feet of snow in 24 hours... it was wild. My back is in good shape now after all the shoveling.
this weather is crazy and its gonna get worse any min lol im about 2 hours west of bigbear wish i had the funds to go boarding you guys are lucky
You know what's funny... I've never gone boarding sinse I've lived in the mountains. I guess it kinda takes the fun out when you have to dig your steps and car out just to drive to the slopes.
yea, It's raining and snowing in palmdale. Nuts to think it was in the 70's and 80's last week.
So cal weather is pretty funny when it acts up. Guess it's that way everywhere though.... just don't expect it here.
Alrite Jig, brilliant journals just finished grow 1.2 and just about to start journal 2.0 which is 90 odd pages long so wont be up to date for a fortnight or two. you grow some dank bud.
I'm just starting my first grow with 4 big bang and 4 power africa in a SCRoG under a 600w hps with 2 300w cfls for veg. After reading your journals and also rosemans I'm definitely going DWC.
Are you planning a new grow?
Wow man... I love that you've gone though the PK grow. That was a fun time. Cute little DWC's they started life in. Glad to have you in vert world.
I love DWC's... think you have made a good decision.
I am planning a new grow, but totally don't know what I want to do yet.
omg. you have to show me the sunsystem hood when you get it. Shit mine was like 300$ for just the hood lol. 125 for a whole 1500w set up sounds unreal. I gotta see pics.
Well its good to know your still alive. Hows the rain in your part of the mountains?
Yeah... it was 'unreal'... he didn't know what he was talking about... it was a 150w. I'll take pics later anyways.
Nice!! I paid a fortune for my hood, ballast and light and its only 1000w, you def deserve the good karma!!
Thank you bud. Turned out not to be the goods... but I still made out with some equipment.
Unreal grow JigF!
Cool stuff...
Thanks SL2... glad to see you over here.
dont feel disapointed brotha u did a great grow and a grow method unreal to sum of us. it was a great journal and experiment for others as well as urself to learn. i look forward to more. hopefully i can pull out sum decent yields with the sour grape. wheres the smoke report?
gonna make sum bubble hash soon or wat hehe
I do have to remember I was verturing into lightly treaded ground with the vert monsters... so perfection really couldn't have been expected. I just wish I would have done better with the Sour Grape. Oh well... she gave me 4 ounces and she tastes good.
I'll work on a smoke report on her today.
Thanks for the support brother. And I don't remember the analogy I used... but I'm sure it was apt.
Damn Jig! That is awesome. You can not be dissapointed by that yeild. After you smoke the two different strains, I am sure you will be happy you grew the sg and only one cj, much better smoke, imo. Remember, I was close to .5 per wattt with the PK which I understand yeilds very similaar to the SG. So you are killing it man.
Thanks raider. I am glad I have the two smokes for sure. It is nice that I have a nice amount of each too.
nicely done jiggy.
long time no chat, glad to see you doing well.
Really great to see you Thor. I think about you often... sorry I don't write when I do. I hope all is well in your life my friend.
great job man. youl have ta drop us a smoke report when its cured.
I'll post that next.
nice job man...keep it up whens the next grow journal starting? btw you got any good up close pics of the dried harvest?
Going vertical in a month I'll hit you up to get you in the thread!
I'll post a link to the new journal as soon as it starts. Don't worry.
I will also take some pics of the finished product. It looks pretty good.
I'll hang out on your thread for sure.
Just stopping by to see howthings are with you my friend. Do you got anything going now? Where is that smoke report? lol Anyway, I hope all is well brother.
Nothing going now. I'll let you all know when I do. Right now the closet is just a big pile of equipment and my CJ skeleton. It looks really sad.
Smoke report will be here in a couple minutes. Half of it at least.
Thanks for the interest everyone. I really appreciate it. You guys made this grow great.
I love the results you got man!
