OMG how many plants are in the one pot??? Holy hell man! That's absurd! I've never seen anything like it! Looks like some phenomenal internodal spacing aswell.
Yea man, I thought I saw some fucking ridiculous node spacing!.. lol wow!Hookd, I would say there are a dozen plants in the one pot that are over two and a half feet tall and one or three over four feet tall. The node spacing is absurd it's so tight. I am picturing buds, solid buds, a foot to maybe even over two foot long when all is said and done. He has a couple that are already like eighteen inches long. These things are going to be solid beasts, I really can imagine him getting a couple of pounds. I told him I was going to post his pics on the six hundred, that made him a real happy dad, I could see the pride written all over his face. I'll keep you guys posted with his progress and I'll even try to remember to bring my camera on my weekly visits.
Edit...to make matters even stranger, his next door neighbor is a retired state trooper and for anyone who missed it, the chief of police of my town lives on the next street over directly behind me.
Busy day just skimming through quick. Headsup I havent been able to find those blocks i made my root plugs out of. However i have been keeping my eyes peeled when out at the stores for shit that could work just as good. At walmart they have these foam cutting boards that would work. Or the floating noodles that kids play with in swimming pools is a cheap option. You just have to do some searching. I havent had to make anymore but i have a bunch of those foam blocks left yet. If ya cant find something suitable id be happy to send you a dozen. If you have a ToysRus in your area you may be able to find those exact blocks that i use. They are Ideal. Got another BBQ to attend. Ill catch up on the readings a bit later. Peace 1BMMWhat is the purpose of a check valve on a pump? I went out and bought most of the stuff I need to make a bubble cloner. I noticed a check valve was included and since it's a two port air pump, I bought another check valve. I am going to run four air stones off the pump.
Masonman, where did you get those things to make your clone holders? I remember you saying it was something from your kid's toys and I have a walmart right down the street from me. I'm not a cheap person, but I am smart with my money if I can be. I don't want to put out the money for already made neoprene holders when I can make them much cheaper. Just steer me in the right direction in the toy isles if you would be so kind. If anyone else has any suggestions to making clone holders, I'm all ears, well eyes actually since I would be reading your description and not listening. I also noticed this morning that both lemon skunks are girls. That gives me five out of ten with a couple still to be identified. For a bit there I was starting to think I grew ten males.
2 leos and a cancer.(im the cancer grrrr) and she is special..shes having OUR first child in about 3 months..(yay)So 3 Leo's, Happy Birthday to the lady, she's obviously a special one!! hehe.
Mmmn, drip system, I don't like a lot of mess, but I have been tryiong to think of how I could use a drip system, or make my own......that is an option to ponder on, thaks lad.
And yup, this is the 3rd vertical grow I have done and I don't think I'll go back to horizontal now....unless I move house and have a big room to grow in.
Integresting concept. I do wonder how hard it is to understand the info just like DST Stated(Happy Birthday) but the idea of recognizing stress before we can actually see it could really help me out. For an example, If I wanted to see if a new nutrient was harmful or beneficial, Check the health, change my res and come back in four hours and have an almost instant Idea if its better, worse or the same. Could also be helpful in fixing problems, think you can a Cal defficiency, add a little cal and check back in a few hours to see if it helped. If not try something else until you find the one that does help. I would expect such short times because of the hydro I use and plants react very quickly to changes in dwc, but I imagine the same would be true for soil with just slightly lager time periods before you go back and check to see if it helped. Do you have a link to the site, curious how much it costs. If its around the price of my ph meters($200-$300) and it actually worked it would totally be worth it, but if its one of those $1000 deal, forget about it.SPINOFF 2001
Detecting Plant StressA new tool helps farmers, foresters and other growers, detect unhealthy crops before the human eye can see the damage. Through an exclusive patent license from NASA Stennis Space Center, Spectrum Technologies, Inc., of Plainfield, Illinois, has developed a hand-held tool, called Observer,™ for detecting plant stress.
Developed by two NASA researchers, the Observer shows the viewer which plants are under stress through multispectral imaging. Multispectral imaging is the use of specific wavelengths of the light spectrum to obtain information about objects--in this case, plants. With this device, several wavelengths of light obtain information about the plant and results are immediately processed and displayed.
Plant stress is caused by unfavorable environmental conditions, such as a lack of nutrients, insufficient water, disease, or insect damage. If conditions are unfavorable, leaf chlorophyll content will begin to decrease. Without instrumentation, this decrease is virtually undetectable until a leaf begins to change color. However, by the time discoloration occurs, the plant may already be too damaged to save.
NASA research found that previsible signs of stress can be detected by measuring the chlorophyll content based on light energy reflected from the plant. The Observer detects stress up to 16 days before deterioration is visible to the eye. Early detection provides an opportunity to reverse stress and save the plant.
The Observer is a hand-held, easily operated device. The operator simply points it at the leaf and pushes a button to achieve immediate readings. Since the unit is designed for close range use, optimal readings are achieved when the device is held approximately 18-24 inches from the leaf. However, results have been recorded from as far as 20 yards away from the plant. Once the button has been pressed, the multispectral imaging process goes to work and results are supplied within several seconds. Because the unit works in both natural and artificial light, it is suitable for outdoor or indoor planting.
In terms of cost, the device can mean substantial savings. When compared with costly, lengthy laboratory tests, Spectrum's device comes out top dollar. The Observer is not only cheaper and more accurate than previous detection methods, but it also aids in crop preservation. It replaces laboratory testing, freeing more resources to advance crop and forest science.
The Observer™ is a hand-held device used to assist with monitoring the health of plants by providing information about nutrient and water levels, and possible disease or damage.
Commercial applications are found in almost any field where plant life is present, including agriculture, precision farming, horticulture, and plant research. Farmers using the Observer will lose less crop, ensuring maximum harvest. Entire forests could be saved through the early detection of various tree diseases. There is a very real opportunity to create an overall healthier plant life for commercial growers. Mike Thurow, president and founder of Spectrum Technologies, Inc., expects this device will cultivate healthier plants, reduce chemical expenditure, and monitor the physiological effects of plants.

wow...that is quite a price tag.well i found it, http://www.specmeters.com/Light_Meters/index.html
cost is out there,waaaaaaaaayy out in outerspace
thats B.S.
$2,463.....MAYBE some day in my dreams.
Man D that vertical seems to be the way to go. Diggin itThis is up and downstairs view, kind of.....so no, I don't have 3 lights
I hate face book.
Agreed I dont even look a mone but maybe once a month. Just not interested in the gimmicks.ditto facebunk sucks balls
That is almost scarry the amount of technology that that beast possesses or what ever. Interestingly I used to live about 3 miles from the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. Small world sometimes.SPINOFF 2001

Sorry HU forgot to help on the check valve question. I dont use them but they are supposed to stop a back flow of h2o into your airpump. They are cheap and would not hurt to have. Only reason I havent installed any is becasue of the way i have my system configured. And I was broke as a mother fucker when i built it, but i havent had any problems. It is cheap insurance though.What is the purpose of a check valve on a pump? I went out and bought most of the stuff I need to make a bubble cloner. I noticed a check valve was included and since it's a two port air pump, I bought another check valve. I am going to run four air stones off the pump.

For the size of those containers they look quite happy. Mother nature has a way with plants in the wild. Im still getting my mind around how the native vegetation just flourishes and is fucking huge but my mj plants need so much care, mostly to keep them in the ground. But its fascinating to me how the native plants can find all they need within the earth and from of course The big 600 in the sky and put out some awesome flowers, fruits ect.. Weed will produce in the wild with no attention but the yeilds will lack.It ain't fryin' his. My photography stinks but even with that in mind, if you look at some of his plants you can already see there are a few that the main colas are going to be killer. They already stand out from the rest of the plants cause you can see the thickness of the plant, it makes the interior of the plant appear darker than the surrounding plants. As for the resin, my arjan's haze was my most resinous plant to date, he already has one that is as sticky if not stickier and he has weeks and weeks to go yet. He might have a couple of pounds of dry bud when all is said and done if he let's them mature.
The pics. If you notice, the container with the three plants, the one on the left has very little serration on the leaves and the little bitch on the right is already sweet smelling and sticky. He also has two that smell rather sour and they too are already sticky.
I like your style HU. Fuck the police hahaa.. I think i understand your mental on the situation. Its almost a comforting feeling to be so close and be OK. I know brotha. lol.Hookd, I would say there are a dozen plants in the one pot that are over two and a half feet tall and one or three over four feet tall. The node spacing is absurd it's so tight.

No worries Headsup lol. Im pretty fluent with the ladies meself. It was a partime career of mine at one time lol. Anyways pal . Yeah a foam AHH it looks like a cutting board sorry for the confusing rant earlier. I think i seen it in the sporting good section. They move shit around so much hell. And yo walmart may be way dif from mine. Shit. I t may have been one of those yoga kneeling mats?. All i can say is there is a multitude of materials that could be used. Even hard sponges would be a great plug. Provided they are steril. But they will work. Just an idea for the scavenger in ya lol. Let me know how things are coming my friend here to help. Wish i hadnt erased all my last years picsFoam cutting boards? Where might I find them, what department? The noodle thing is a good idea. I keep telling you guys I'm mechanically challenged, that also applies to my thinking about anything mechanical.
Lots of guys when young want to take things apart and see how they work. I always wanted to take the clothes off of the girls to see how they worked and I couldn't have been any older than ten.
lol what a coincidence i am smoking a bowl of my Purple God Bud it has an sweet smell not much of a taste yet though( Havent cured its only a sample nug)Rolled up my first bomber tonite of the drying Blue widow. Good god damn its some tasty stoney but pleasant smoke. Its got a berry hint over a heavy skunk flavor. Just mmm mmm good. And its not even cured yet. Cant wait for all them aromas to work there way up.
need to check on my gals as im bullshittin. Peace 1BMM
Mnnn, there is actually a self feeding drip system that my neighbour has...could be a possibility!DST,Nnow you got me thinking!!!
Cheers bru, this is what I have been leaning towards to be honest....it's just setting the design down really.DST Happy Birthday Bru. Just a quick thought before i go to work. Maybe a gutter system to funnel your run off to a central container would be easy to build. The drip irrigation itself should be quite a simple intall aswell. Ahh the never ending possibilities of growing and room construction. Catch yall after work 1BMM
I would agree, I think the moving plants thing is not a topic to get excited about in anyway.If plants moving around causes that much stress, how come my buddy who knows nothing about growing at all...his plants are beautiful. Then again he's using the big hps in the sky. His plants get rained on, eaten by bugs, wind blows them all over the place and in florida during the summer, we can have some pretty strong winds when a thunderstorm blows into the area and not to mention our heat index is up or above a hundred almost every day for months on end in the summer.
I still think the biggest killer to a garden is heat. Humidity runs second to heat and combine them both and you have an extremely good chance of a very poor harvest.
Nice find there genuity, any idea of the cost of that thing?
Oh I already asked her to marry me and done the deed 2 years ago old partnero. Was an amazing meal, I had a few things I had never tried, like Tartar of langoustine with Monkfish (I love monkfish) and with my dessert I had ice-cream that tasted of Basil...how weird and wonderfull.DST, today just makes you wiser. Look at the bright side, you're only a day older than you were yesterday. Hope you have a good time this evening, and ask her tonight if she'll marry you. You'll feel better knowing you tied up that loose end.
Happy Birthday to a great host.
Ah, how cool is that. Well I hope it turned out okay Hookd!! I only done about 5 minutes of work yesterday as well, hahaha....keep yer chin up, after all, I wish I had just turned 23!Hahaha hey HAPPY B-DAY DST!!! That's crazy man! Last thing I expected to see today on RIU, someone with the same B-Day as me. I'm 23 years old today..... What a lame b-day start, I get to sit here at work. lol, at least I'm gonna be kickin it here in the 600 with you guys for a good part of it... Cuz I'll be fucked if I'm gonna bust my ass at work with how bad my mroning has been!.. Ya know, I may actually be happier just kickin it in here for a bit come to think about it... This is the worst B-Day morning I've yet to expierence. So hopefully it'll mean I'm getting them outa the way. And next years will rock... haha, hopefully.
My plants are happy at least. It makes me smlie getting to wake up to them. That's about the only good part of today so far tho... That and my sister. She's the only person I could really talk to about what's going on. Sorry guys, didn't mean to get all personal and shit in here... Just having a rough morn... lol my bad
GROW ON!
My wife sent it to one of our friends who even admited back to us that she was one of those Farmy Games people....it's quite sad really.Hahaha, You tha man heads up! lol, this is my dream, my DREAM DREAM! lol, but this, yea this, it just doesn't exist, I've come to terms with it now..... lol
And honestly DST, thanks for this shit man! That was so funny! Lol, really! It brightened up my morning quite a bit! lol
Great pics from your friends outdoor HU!!! I am not so sure what the fuss is all about putting more than 1 plant in a pot...I have done it several times before with no ill effect...and I am doing it right now:It ain't fryin' his. My photography stinks but even with that in mind, if you look at some of his plants you can already see there are a few that the main colas are going to be killer.

Congrats on the upcoming little yin Silver!! Awesome news.2 leos and a cancer.(im the cancer grrrr) and she is special..shes having OUR first child in about 3 months..(yay)
That face book spoof is so TRUE!!..im glad theres other people who think jus like me..and ive seen everyone of those catergories..but theres one missing.."THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE FANTASY LIVES ON THE INTERNET"..the ones that make there life seem so intresting but they work at CVS..smh..
Im really thinking about vertical my space doesnt look much bigger than urs..and i seen this really cool screen around the bulb the plants kinds jus grow around..ones of those dual cooltubes would work perfect in that setup..did u see more yield off vert?(im guessing yes thats why u will never turn back)
Thanks bud, I agree....at the price below it's not worth it. Give it a few years and they'll be more commerically viable products with prices.Integresting concept.

Cheers lad, it was a Happy one indeed,Happy birthday DST!!!!!!
As I said before, Wow, that's a bit pricey. Does it also beam me up if needs be?well i found it, http://www.specmeters.com/Light_Meters/index.html
cost is out there,waaaaaaaaayy out in outerspace
thats B.S.
$2,463.....MAYBE some day in my dreams.
1BMM bullshitting, surely not!!! hehe. I just started a, Exodus Blue Widow, will be the first Widow based weed I have grown. I kinda lost interest in White Widow a number of years ago when the strain just became to common. And really, as with most, the original strain is no longer available. Hope this is a good one though.Rolled up my first bomber tonite of the drying Blue widow. Good god damn its some tasty stoney but pleasant smoke. Its got a berry hint over a heavy skunk flavor. Just mmm mmm good. And its not even cured yet. Cant wait for all them aromas to work there way up.
need to check on my gals as im bullshittin. Peace 1BMM
Purple God, always makes me smile that name. Is god purple then, not black, brown, or white??? haha.lol what a coincidence i am smoking a bowl of my Purple God Bud it has an sweet smell not much of a taste yet though( Havent cured its only a sample nug)
LMAO i dont know maby hes rainbow colored i have the major munchies yo i just ate 2 Bowls of Cereal, A lot of gold fish, some Ramon and i still feel like i could eat more lol and the best part is im still high as hell I should be harvesting tomorrow im gonna take one last look at the trics and make sure they are looking good when is the best time to harvest in hydro in the morning or right b4 lights go out?Purple God, always makes me smile that name. Is god purple then, not black, brown, or white??? haha.
Hey guys and gals (not sure if we got any gals anymore) have a great day and thanks for all the nice reads to start my day!
Peace, DST
Well there's a bit of debate about when to chop your plants, do it before the lights come on, or as the lights go off!!! to be honest, I am not 100% sure it actually makes a difference. I always start in the morning so that I don't end up sitting up through the middle of the night chopping and snipping....LMAO i dont know maby hes rainbow colored i have the major munchies yo i just ate 2 Bowls of Cereal, A lot of gold fish, some Ramon and i still feel like i could eat more lol and the best part is im still high as hell I should be harvesting tomorrow im gonna take one last look at the trics and make sure they are looking good when is the best time to harvest in hydro in the morning or right b4 lights go out?
