So i scrapped the pvc idea because those damn 3 way elbows are expensive and make the thing cost over 100$. I know thats not a lot, but I could build one cheaper with wood so I might try that. Yesterday I bought some sun shade cloth (75%) and put it over it to keep down the heat and hide the leaves from neighbors. What does everyone think about that? The backyard is just dirt so its lots of heat that is put right next to it so I thought some mesh cloth would help with the heat

You have to be careful- especially with black shade cloth- people don't realize how much heat it attracts if right near the leaves... If there is a good enough distance then it will shade and cool as expected...

Ok just wanted to make sure that much shade cloth wasnt going to hide the sun too much. So much sun here though ill melt if I sat there all day long lol. I actually am into gardening, just dont have that big of plants right now to cover my MJ lol

You could use clear plastic, but then people could see lol But you do have a lot of sun so maybe shade cloth will work.

I didn't even think about that. Good point.

Hey Del- good to see you around bro. I hope you are doing well man.

Sup Mr. Trichy. Doing good, although I did find some mold on my stash So I am currently in the process of turning it into concentrate via ISO. Don't know if that eliminates mold but meh.

Probably not (maybe the chems will kill it off), but you can always hope it's penicillin and maybe it cures your next infection- lol...

Seriously- peroxide will kill the spores- spray it with some first and you'll be good... http://www.ehow.com/about_5538302_peroxide-kill-mold.html

Right now the shade cloth is about 10 inches from the top. It is keeping it nice and cool. It looks like it would be too much in some spots, but the plant seems to like it, its perked up a lot since the sun came out.

Thanks for the info, I guess I will spray some and then let it dry. Then on to the ISO.

Good to hear!

I believe the most light a plant can use is around 15,000 lux- the sun here is nearly ten times that. Even full shade here the plant gets more lux than with a mondo HPS light- you are fine and getting alot more light than you need even with the shade cloth as hard as that may be to believe.

I have it kind of rigged up right now, but next week when I can build something nice Ill take a pic and then I can have it really nice . Hopefully I get some females and this Kauai Kush is a good smoke

Hey kkday- hope you are well. Not sure if you're poking fun at me, but the topics today are actually along the things my knowledge is focused in. I was usually here to learn more about soil growing from people who know more about it like you, Cooter and Sheck, it's a shame somehow we became alienated from eachother. I hope time heals all wounds and things will be back to normal sometime soon. We all live in this small patch of the world together- and life's too short for dramas.

Vegging indoors 18/6
Idea is to flower under the sun naturally using the scrog method. Can or no can?

From what I gather scrogging is best effective when done during veg, the idea is to even out the canopy so that flowering can go smoothly as all your trained tops will be uniform and ready to flower (also uniformly). Hope this helps. Aloha

PS I've tied down branches during flowering with good results, though I do suspect it diverts some energy towards recovering from the training rather than budding up.

possible leaf necrosis? maybe from overwatering? do you let your medium dry out in between waterings? i could be wrong but i just thought i would give it a try. looks like some nice smoke!

Yeah I did water it and spray it at the same time, so that sounds about right. I'll be paying more attention when Im watering that one now. Not a good sign though being that we get so much rain out here. This is only the 1st generation though and I got my widow pollen from my original male..only time will tell thanks hawyn.

No tric not at all, it was in reference to the new kids, last time I checked this thread they were asking
How to germ. Now they got there masters in horticulture and working on agricultural Geneticaly modified hybrid strains that will provide smoke and fruits to stop their munchys all on the same plant.

Its mean the info you get from this thread. Guru over nite!

by the way I don't think the old crew fell apart its just easyer to pick up the phone. Alot of big projects with the boys, no time to play on the computer now days.

And I don't know shit about shit just use it to grow good shit.

Well I never did ask how to germ but I am new to RIU and as for "geneticaly modified hybrid strains that will provide smoke and fruits to stop their munchys all on the same plant." I ain't getting that scientific bro, sorry if my post's put that impression on you. I just think it'd be nice to have a white strain hybrid in the islands that I made myself..so I'm on a mish!

Aloha nui~~

Well since this thread needs a direction to go in anyway I'm going to throw this out there- but does anyone know anything about if there is a Malvern particle analyser anywhere in the state? I need a couple hours on one to test some atomizing nozzles for a new venture and seriously doubt there is on on my island. I also don't expect anyone to really know what the hell one is- but I got nothing to lose by asking-
