thats what she said ,lmao

I/we were on the proch next to the keg (duh) and being in the kitchen for 30+years you can smell food burning before anyone else can. So I look at my wife and say Something is burning, thinking it might be the flatlanders trying to roll a "J" with tree bark or something dumb. Ruined the pork and had to throw out the pan it wasnt coming clean, O well. shit happens
 
i am loving the recyclable grocery bags at the grocery stores for growing, the ones that are the fabric, not the brown paper bags, duh.
While i was gone being gutted I sat my plants in a milk crate with a trash bag liner and poured a gallon of the feeding and left. Came back and I can see new growth, lime green and the soil is wet but not too wet. So i made bigger for the rest of my soil grows.
the soil is in a grocerybag thats recyclable which sits on a milkcrate lined with a trash bag to hold in the nutrients.

the drugs I got are liquid codeine. my wife came out of the drug store with a pint of the stuff and said, laughing, that this is half and the rest the will have tomorrow :-) and they gave me one refill. That shit kicks me in the nuts something furious. I picked up 1/4 of Trainwreck X GDP and Chocolope for the wife and I havent smoked a single bowl to the end yet, I cant, lol. my eyes want to close and i am not tired, just in a daze.

Nice, just started my first go in a legal state. My biggest plant is looking similar to your male headband, the others are looking nothing like anything you got. Very nice grow, and awesome pictures, I went through like 20 pages before deciding I had lurked enough. I feel like your plants weren't that small but you weren't getting but 2oz of usable at a time though. Am I confused about the size of your plants or am I confused about the yeild. I've only grown outdoors before, not being in a green state and got much more than that from a 4 footer. Is there a difference in yield between indoor and outdoor that I am unaware of, or am I confused about the size of yours? To me they look to be about 3 ft at their tallest. But that lighter perspective picture has me questioning.
 
the tallest I can get is thru hydro and thats around 5 ft, in soil i am averaging 3-4.5. i dont grow outside ;-) only inside according to Mihcigan State law and i can get around 2-2.5oz in hydro and a good 1.5 to almost 2 oz in soil, depending on veg time and which strain i am growing. Back then I was growing just to grow and now i have my own strain i am working on and trying to get the most out of them is kinda interesting.
But its like life trial and error, and since I have been only at this for "3" years now I am still learning.

So off of an average of 3.5ft tall plants your still only getting an average of 2oz usable? I was expecting more after my experience outdoors, should I only expect a couple ounces off of a 4fter indoors? How long is your veg to achieve that yield? I was planning on vegging 24/0 for 1.5-2.5 months tops. Then switching to 18/6 for a couple weeks, then to 12/12.
I want to make my own strain. I've got a bunch of seeds from when I lived down south, and it's from some pretty nice seedy bud I used to get quarter pounds of. I started some of those off and there's one plant that just LAUNCHED up in growth, wasn't even the first to sprout and it's 3x the size of the others. If it's a male I'm gonna neuter him and collect his leaves and pollen. Maybe put him outside until its too cold. But I want to use his/her genetic growth speed, it's amazing. Then I'm gonna see what Females taste and smell the best, and which males are most Indica looking. Then I'm gonna get some Chara seeds and start breeding my Southern blend into it, then over time get more strains and make a couple perfect strains that I can credit to the south.

Sorry to interject but height is really a poor way to gauge a plants potential of yield or to even associate with yield. Unless you're growing vertically or you're growing with high wattage overlapping horizontal lighting, a taller plant does not mean a bigger or better yield. The further the plant is away from the light, the lower the quality of fruit you're going to harvest. Just my 2 cents. Happy growing :joint:

JoC are you still running DWC in the 5 gallon buckets? I'm curious, what kind of nutes do you use with them and do you calculate your ppms? I'm thinking of running one to play with since I have the components already, haven't done a hydro and I want to start messing around.
 
growing inside and outside are two different things. apples and oranges. Outside oyu get the free sun and non stop growing, inside is mroe controlled.

I am not runnig DWC in the summer as I do not have a chiller to keep the tmeps down. When I run them in the winter I go with the basic General Hydro. Micro, grow, bloom and Grow Big and I have Tiger Bud or something lik that as well. I havent completely bought into the whole nutrients for every day theory and I just try and kep it simple.
I calculate my ppm with a ppm stick and stay around 300-500 for veg and gradually going up to 1100 for full on flower. Its fun but you need to watch it every day, you can lose a whole crop in hydro in hours.

Yep that is the scary thing about hydro for me, the fact that everything can go down hill in a hurry if you're not on top of it all the time! Thanks for the ppm infoz, I really need to start getting something setup.
 
dont take my word for gospel, every strain is different and they each have their own tolerances, thats just what I start out with and move the PPM according to their reaction, but its a good place to start.

Thanks for the clarification, I'm just picking people's brains at the moment for generalizations. I have a couple journals I will probably try to duplicate when I have the time to put the effort into it. Have a good weekend JoC. Keep an eye on your pork this weekend!

Its funny how some strains can max out around 1500ppm, while others can't surpass 1000ppm without nute burn....

Ah, cannabis...you intersting plant, you.
