Yes sir.

Netflix had it almost a year ago so I watched it a couple times. Awesome movie. I'm a documentary/indie film junkie. Banksy is pretty mainstream, but his work will always be a hit.

Crazy you can upload entire vids to YouTube now.

yea ill def be renting a tiller also to do my 2 areas in. i started to do it with a shovel but after 3 days of doing it, i was like f this, ill wait till i get alittle closer and just rent one of those to do it. way faster and it will do a way better job. the only thing i hate about them is having to clean the roots that get stuck on thier blades but at least they are pulling the old roots out so cant complain too much i guess

Ha yeah I'm gonna have to borrow my buddies truck to get that beast home when the time comes. The big ass model that is self-powered there most def. won't fit in my car.. and I'm sure as hell not paying $10 less to push that heavy ass rototiller around my property. -Work smarter.. not harder. Update with pics of today Day 50 of flower in my tent coming in a few minutes. :leaf: -R.U.M.

I threw together a small greenhouse a couple days ago right before it got dark..

Materials Used:
-1" PVC(old scrap)
-Clear Shipping Tape(support for PVC beams wrapped tightly)
-Zip-Ties
-55gal clear trashbags(2)(1 each side, cut in half)

(Plastic Pots are empty for now.. it's still winter >.<)

Day 50 of flowering.
I fed them their regular H&G soil A & B + 1tbsp/gal Organic Molasses PH'd to 6.3 then used H&G Top Booster about 10 days ago with no other additives then plain R.O water.. and as you can tell, their product works like it says. It encourages new flower development 3-4wks before harvest to get a bigger yield. I fed them Top Booster on day 40. On day 45, they were looking close to done, but now there is new pistil development everywhere. Might be looking more like 64 days now instead of 56. I fed them H&G Soil A/B yesterday with molasses and a strong dose of M.O.A.B.(instead of Kool Bloom) I will begin flushing sometime later this week in the middle of week 8(depending).

Hah yeah.
Day 51 flowering inside today and once they get chopped, the tent is getting turned into veg mode for this upcoming spring. This will be my first year trying outdoor. Was so excited.. had to start early.

The cold that we've been receiving here in SoCal has been from melting of polar ice caps in the north pole. The cold front has been pushed south directly over us. The east cost has had record warmth for this time of the year... That said, it's going to be a warm summer. Maybe nobody but me is saying "record heat"; but I'm saying it now and we can all laugh about it in November and say how wrong I was then. But right now, that's my call.

I'll keep it in mind and hold you to it if it pops back into my mind sometime over the next 9 months.

hey i was looking at your current grow where you use the air stone in the water before you water the plants with it. Ive never seen anyone do that before and i found it interesting, what does it benefit?
Click to expand...
Good question.
This is my own spin off of Hydro VS. Soil. As everyone knows, roots need air, water, and food. The more of each of those they get, the more lush they are. Think about water soaking through soil. It's probably thick, sloppy, and no air is able to get in there to the root zone. If you aerate your water reservoir before you pour it over the soil, the millions of microscopic bubbles that are trapped in the water from the air stone will get directly to your roots fast and they're able to breathe easier. This grow was the first time I tried this technique that I thought of and I saw Explosive growth rates in veg and first 3 weeks of flower because of this. It's a simple common sense approach. Fish need air. Fish live in water. People put air stones in their tanks so they can breathe. I put an air stone in my water reservoir and bubble my yummy nutrients + organic molasses for an hour, and then it's like they're drinking fizzy growing juice. I don't go longer then an hour because A. Some nutrients aren't supposed to be aerated like hydro nutes for long periods, and B. 1 hour works best for me and it's when I know the molasses is active and bubbling, and also helping the Mychorrhizae benefit from it also. Hope this was pretty general. :leaf:

People stress the fuck out over their nutrients, lights, tents... etc.

I focus on the plant itself and strive to find ways to enhance its life.
