Club 600

[jigfresh]

I forgot netflix on my Playstation 3. I can watch most movies right on my tv over the internet through the PS3. How's that for complicated... or simple. Depending on your perspective.

The only reason I have a dish network subscription is for Live sports. I love me some F1 racing.

 

[mcpurple]

i used to do that with my ps3 jig but i sold it to invest more i my grows, now i got an xbox 360 and man am i missin the ps3

lol, for real tho. Craigslist is the shit!!!!! Within the past 2 weeks. I have upgraded from 312w TOTAL of CFL. To 575w of HPS, air cooled hood, bulb, ballast, everything, and I spent a total of $40 for a 175w HPS, and $165 for a 400w HPS complete setup. So a total of $205 for a completely perfect, 575w HPS setup... Dude..... Craigslist is the SHIT!!!!!

So you can get an idea. This is pretty much my exact same setup. (click links)

400w HPS ballast $159.95 (same exact ballast I got)
Aircooled Reflector $118.95 (Not quite exactly the same, but I've never seen anything closer to what I got)
400w HPS bulb $58.68 (same bulb that's in mine now)
So for the entire, almost exact 400w setup I have. You could pay $337.58 (not including shipping/handeling/tax) from Amazon to get it.

Or hit up craigslist (never a guarentee, but VERY resourceful) and pay $165 FLAT. I saved $172.58 by calling some randome number who upgraded his light and just needed to get rid of his old one.

And then I also found a complete, 175w HPS setup, ready to run, just plug it into an outlet, for $40. Go online, or to a store, and tell me where you can get a complete, 175w HPS setup, plug in and ready to grow, for $40... You can't! lol

150w grow light $89.95
Except mine's 175w, and a HPS security light. Still does the same things tho, and only $40 flat.

Just some educational info here on craigslist. Another plus, was that both the guys I met buying my new lights, are also both medical patients. And asked if I had my card. Which I showed them. And they decided that if I ever need any clones of any sort, to just give them a call and head on over with my paper work and they'll hook me up.

Again, craigslist is the SHIT! For everything I'm running, I could have bought it off amazon for $427.53 brand new and have 25 less watts. Instead, I spent $205 (saved $222.53) for some previously used (only 6/mo old) equiptment and am running 25 MORE watts..... Make your choice

EDIT: Sorry for the edit again, just wanted to say I was just on craigslist and saw a 600w HPS batwing reflector, bulb, ballast, never used complete setup..... Asking $165 for it. Brand new. Just sayin, yet again, that craigslist, is the SHIT! lol, sorry. I'm done now

1bmm... bad ass pics bru. Can't believe those plants man... fucking tall. Gonna be a bit of herb in a couple monthes eh?

Heads up. Nice plants. To answer you about bushmaster. Shit stops vert growth on contact. My last grow I had some issues when I switched to 12/12 and a HPS instead of MH. The plants strecthed the first couple days of HPS... then I gave them bushmaster, no stretch whatso ever. The nodes were maybe 3/4" in apart during veg... then the stretch the nodes were 2" apart then when I put the the BM in the tank the nodes packed on maybe 4 or 5 more and they were all within 2" of the last node. I hope that makes sense.

I think I use 1 ml/ gal water. And I run for 24-48 hours. And that's strait water and BM... nothing else. In hydro. If you want more info I can dig it up. I have pics too showing the stop in vert growth.

New subject. I apoligize in advance if I bring the mood down.. but that's not my intention at all. You guys are like my boys... or rather are my boys. Love you guys and I'm going through something I don't know how to feel. Wonder what yall have to say about it. So a couple weeks ago I befriended this couple. They are in their early 40's. I'm 31. Age doesn't really matter, not sure why I mentioned it. Anyhow... the girl was pregnant about 4 months... and my girls pregnant about 2 months. Also, they were both kicking alcohol. We met in AA. So anyways, we became kinda close. Nothing crazy, but we hung out a couple times. I drove them around some. We broke bread together... had some good times... good conversation. I felt like there was a connection. Made me feel good to contribute some. They were homeless and didn't have much money... but they handled themselves well. Not stinky and shit. Just down on their luck, trying to start a better life. So a week and a half ago on Wednesday I took them both off our mountain to meet up with the guys brother... he was taking them to the doctor. It was to be her first doctors visit with the baby. I was hoping the news from the doc was good.

I hadn't heard from them since then. Yesterday I find out the boyfriend killed her 2 days after I was with them. She was buried yesterday and homeboy is nowhere to be found. I'm part sad, part frustrated, really fucking angry, a tiny bit guilty, and overall just dumbfounded. Like this is some bad dream.

So yeah... I wanted to share, hoping you guys could say something. Again, I apoligize if I'm dumping shit on the 600... but this is my favorite place and yall are my favorite peeps.

And I will grow again and post pot pictures I swear. And I'm gonna make my next grow epic to make up for all the non pot shit I talk about on here.

peace

EDIT: It's ok for you guys to post about growing or other shit too... no one will think you are being insensitive or anything. THis is after all a pot growing site... not a phychiatrist office.

Jigfresh. My heart goes out to that poor women and you and Mrs Jig. You know people like that always get whats coming to them. You have a very big heart Jig and theres not many people in the world who care about others more so than there self. I know because im one of those people. The fact that you even helped out these strangers says alot about your character Jig. Its is quite shocking and sad news to hear about. That women is in the arms of god now and hopefully she tried to live a rightous life. All I can say to help your mental Jig is that scum bag killer is running scared. He knows his days are numbered. And when he meets his fate hes going to suffer for the rest of eternity. His soul is doomed. Its obvious he's and evil person and im sure theres an extra hot spot in hell for him.

And also brother Jig. I for one am glad to be here for you no matter what. Im sure DST and others would agree. We may have all met because we enjoy weed and growing it, but this club has some of the greatest people and personalities ive seen anywhere. I feel as though Ive met some true people right here on the 600 who are seemingly all on the same wavelength. I know its tough Jig but you gotta sort your thoughts and come to a realization that it was out of your control. I know i have to sometimes. My thoughts are with you and the Mrs Jigfresh. May the powers of karma git that asshole baby killer...1bmm

And a good day to all my fellow six hundred watters. I would say good morning, it is for me, but since we are from all over the place on terra firma it's not morning for some.

Today my lights go from 19/5 to 18/6, at the end of this week I'm switching to 12/12. I'm hoping the switch to 18/6 will help the plants show their pre-flowers better so I can get rid of the males, which sadly I think will be most this grow, before I ever switch to 12/12 and the little penis heads don't get to the girls. I do know I have one sleestack female for sure.

The fan leaf thing. Trim, don't trim? Since I have no routine I stick to, every grow is an experiment in some fashion or other. Since I've topped/fimmed most of the plants they have stayed nice and compact for the most part and the under growth was doing nicely. So I decided if I'm going to have males, let me trim these fan leaves out and see what happens to the undergrowth the last week of veg. Does anyone trim fan leaves during vegging or flowering? I also have read that around week five of flowering it's ok to trim some fan leaves to allow light into the lower parts of the plant but they also say no more than thirty percent of fan leaves from any one plant.

Like most of us, we learn from mistakes and I'm not afraid to make them, as a matter of fact I've made a life long habit of it. I seem to learn best from the 'I won't do that again' method.

Opinions?

Me too headsup. Everything i know i lerned the hard way. Some of us are just that way. Glad your getting some females in the mix.

Also theres a thread about topping and pruning. Heres the link. Its a huge drama fest ill tell ya straight up. Headsup uncle ben is the objector in this thread to the cutting of fan leaves. On the other hand desert rat has some good points. Heres the link. https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/330111-anybody-want-double-their-yield.html

Thanks guys. I'll give it a shot, just never thought to, I have heard of craigslist but hulu? Who knew? What is hulu, internet on demand tv?

I just found out about that site the other day. I dont have cable as i can watch what entertains me on the web. I do get cable or satellite come football season. Other than that its rubbish. media hype and fat asses.

And i just gotta say Westy i felt your reply to jigs dilemma was spot on bro. Feeling you holmes.

Well another blistering day in the sun for me peeps. Trying to get out of poverty status is a never ending job with no end in sight. Going to go check me gals and have a nice drag of some deisel. Laters 1bmm

If you didnt notice, Im starting to get a little purple on the Piss. I dont know if its from the strain or the snowstorm.The buds feel super dense, like really rock hard. I am keeping an eye on the trichs, and I expect the Piss to finish up in the next about 2 weeks. The Blue Kush is finally starting to put on the weight a little. For refrence its about 2 weeks behind the Piss. Hope you enjoyed the pics and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

That is awesome, you are my hero.

 

[1badmasonman]

God that setup is so tight integra. You got it down pat to say the least. Always impressed with your photos bro.

 

[Heads Up]

Integra, as soon as I finish drooling all over the keyboard from my mind not believing what my eyes are seeing, I'll write something appropriate. Your consistency is amazing. Truly some of the finest looking bud and healthiest plants from our club and your pictures are fantastic to boot.

On a different note. To everyone on the six hundred and especially DST for starting the thread and today for Jigfresh. I want to once again take the time to say, we are a brotherhood on here. This thread is unlike any other thread I've read on RIU. I feel like some of you guys are my brothers and today brother Jig you did the right thing coming here with your emotional turmoil. We are here for you and yours and you did come here because you feel the same way I do, I can unload on my brothers and they will be there to support me...we are. To me all the weed stuff is great, I learn constantly, but I also learn about you guys from what you write and the way your write it. We have become much more than just another thread on RIU, we have become friends. I applaud us all for sharing and caring about one another and trying to help each other. We don't point fingers at each other, we don't criticize each other we don't hear people say, oh, you can't do that, you just plain don't here much negative on the six hundred at all.

Most of us drift in and out, some more than others but we all come home occasionally to see the family, gaze at the porn and post some of our own.

What a great group of people, it's such a pleasure being a part of this thread. Thank you one and all for making it that way.

 

[Heads Up]

Top and prune, that's pretty much what I've done. As I have said I actually tried to fim them not top them. Last night I trimmed fan leaves, tonight I gave them a good dose of phosphorous to see if it would jumpstart pre-flowering by the end of the week.

Three males are leaving tomorrow. Two sleestacks and one LA confidential. The sleestacks were starting to become such nice plants. I have four that are a foot tall, two that are ten inches, one nine one eight and two six inch plants. If I can now get them to stretch to double their size, I'll have plants under two foot tall and nice and bushy...I hope.

Here are the three that will be leaving and my two girls so far. One sleestack and one og18. All these strains are crossed with skunk.

The third pic ppant has some real nice spacing and structure so far. If thats a girl, she gona be a beast. And if its a guy, might be a good canidate for breeding. Looking nice and healthy, keep up the good work.

 

[Heads Up]

Unfortunately it's a guy. It's funny you say that, about keeping him. I was thinking the same thing last night, this would be a good breeding father.

It's funny how we never speak of the male plants, but without them we would be in a world of hurt. Maybe my vietnam vet buddy will let him stay in his back yard until I can collect some pollen. Both of the sleestacks would have made good fathers. Even after a tiny bit of stretch, the nodes were an inch apart and getting closer together before I topped/fimmed him and they both have excellent side growth too.

1bmm... bad ass pics bru. Can't believe those plants man... fucking tall. Gonna be a bit of herb in a couple monthes eh?

EDIT: It's ok for you guys to post about growing or other shit too... no one will think you are being insensitive or anything. THis is after all a pot growing site... not a phychiatrist office.

Jesus Christus from Nazareth!!! That is some heavy stuff Jig, it made me feel sick just reading it so I can truelly sypathise with your bru. There is not much you can say in these situations, I find saying less and just being there is the best help...so we are here buddy!! Peace to the ladies family, and peace to the guys family, imagine how they must be feeling as well.

On a grow note: I know I never had posted pics of my OG that I finished but let me say that it was some bomb shit!!! I was very proud of myself that I got 5 1/2 ounces off two plants. One gave me 3 and the other 2 1/2. Made the move to Cali and am in the process of getting my MM Card so I can do this all legally here.

I have some in the tent right now. I have a White Widow that will be done on August 2nd-7th. After that I have 2 more that are just starting to flower along with a Carmelice and a G13xHawiian Haze. The free The Church seed was a damn male and I had to throw it away. I wanted to keep it for the pollen but that is a little beyond my skill level right now hahahaha. So anyways got the 6 plants going strong in the flower tent and will keep you updated when I find the camera in one of the boxes Ill take some pics....(man it is soooo tough breaking down your setup and then putting it back up hahahaaha)

I am a little behind with the new batch but they are germing right now. Ive got 2 Full Moons 2 Black Jacks 1 Ak-48 1 White Widow 1 Wonder Women and 1 bag seed that I found (snicklefritz hahaha) I think they will be popped today so I will probably plant them here soon and off we go again.

Just wanted to say thanks to all the guys on here that helped me out and continue to help all of us out on here. Taking a rip for you guys!!!!!!

Glad you were happy with what you pulled off!!! It's one of the most satifying things to do.

And a good day to all my fellow six hundred watters. I would say good morning, it is for me, but since we are from all over the place on terra firma it's not morning for some.

Opinions?

I'd say I am from the Genuity school, let the plant trim it's leaves itself...if it doesn't need the leaf it will tell ya. There is a case for trimming though but it depends on how you are growing...i.e in a vertical manner, in a small space, etc, etc,..

I'm looking at cool tubes and I have a question. Do all cool tubes have built in reflectors? Can you take them out of the tube so there is no reflector in them and all you have is a tube with no reflector? I'm trying to decide if I want to do a horizontal scrog or a vertical scrog.

The ones I buy are 29 euro and come without reflector as standard...i guess you can get them either or....

I can only hope no one finds my ex-wife on craigslist. She likes marrying, she just doesn't like being married for but a year or two at a time.

LMFAO....

I agree on both fronts, HeadsUp. Integra's PISS is the SHIT...sorry couldn't resist it.....consistentcy, solid looking buds.....the hard work intially put in is for sure paying off!!!

I also agree on the 600, one of the best threads and group of people on RIU. For this simple reason I ignore all requests from disgruntled RIU'ers who have exodused to speedyseedz, skunkskool, thcfarmer and all the other sites of similar nature.

Unfortunately it's a guy. It's funny you say that, about keeping him. I was thinking the same thing last night, this would be a good breeding father.

On the male note, I found that once you got your balls formed, depending on how much pollem you want, just don't water the fucker for a while and watch as it dies and all it's sacks open up....quickest way to get pollem from a plant in my experience.....

Have a good un people, much love to the 600.

Hey guys, just got some better pix of the setup I thought I'd toss up jsut for the hell of it. 175w HPS, 400w HPS, and I've tossed a CFL underneith for light, and to make it up to the 600w haha. Anyways, here's some better pix now. Strains = *Pineapple Express* - *Purple Napalm* - and *Lacy girl*

And just wanna say, I fuckin LOVE this 600 thread!

 

[passthatsh!t23]

Hookd!
Fuck yah! 600W great to hear!
Now thats gonna make a HUGE difference in your plants bud growth/harvest!

 

[HookdOnChronics]

Hookd!
Fuck yah! 600W great to hear!
Now thats gonna make a HUGE difference in your plants bud growth/harvest!

Oh dude, I honestly can't even explain to you. It's like, starting all over again. I'm a new grower again. I know a hell of alot about my CFL's, but finally got me some HID. I find myself looking at the plants ALOT more often (like I did when I first started growing) and it's making it seem like they're taking longer again. Because I use to not even look at the girls but once every 3 days, and now I'm spending alot of time in there with them again. I really notice the difference when I go back and look at pix!..

Oh, and I had a plant flowered for about 7 weeks under my CFL's. Then I got my HPS, so I liet it go for another 2 weeks under the HPS and holy hell man! SO SO SO many more trich's on the top of this plant! It's fuckin ridiculous! I can't wait to cure this shit and get some incred. trich pix! I'm excited man! And that was just under the HPS for the last 2 weeks..... I don't have nay clue as to what to expect come the next month and a half!... This is all new to me, I mean, the HPS growth and production is just pure awesome man! I'm loving it! Wish I made the switch earlier, but didn't have the money. I'm here now tho, and that's all that matters!

 

[Heads Up]

Hookd, nice looking girls, very healthy. You will enjoy a nice harvest from them. I too dicked around for a while before I got serious. Had to make my mistakes, spend money and learn the hard way. For my dollar, nothing beats hid lighting. I could have four six hundreds for the amount of money I pissed away before buying two. This is something like my fourth grow under hid lighting and it never ceases to amaze me. I find myself going into my grow room at least a half dozen times before I go to bed. My lights don't go on until seven in the evening. I keep them off during the hottest part of the day and run them through the night. After around week five of flowering, my guess, you'll just about be living in there watching the buds fattening up.

I did regular old fluros to start, switched to cfl's then to t-5's and finally hid. You'll never regret the investment.

Thanks Heads Up!!!!! lol, and god I feel you on going in there to look at them constantly!.. I do it too much (probably doesn't help that the closet, in my room, is their home, so whenever I'm home in my room, they're less than 5 feet away from me.) lol

And yea man, seirously, I've had them for 2 weeks now, and I can already see that! lol
