Thanx Mo! Awesome description on the oily erb dripping oil out of the pipe lol! It must have alot to do with it i suppose! I'm cleaning the bong daily its just pure filth by morning hehe! Mind you the outdoor is not much different ;) still an extreme high, but not quite as knockout as the Amsterdam Gold.

Maaaaan, i think i'm more excited about your greenhouse than you are! 4m high!? I'm almost positive you can reach that lol :)

Can't wait!!, don't hurt yourself setting things up Mo! Be careful and dream of walking through branches of weed getting hit in the face by buds 6 feet long :)

Quality. You know it ;)


Ha! cheerz man, i actually took a few pointers from him, but i have a very different system, but the schedule being VERY similar.
I like to have my lights a bit closer to get those MASSIVE buds ;) air cooled gives you that, i can get as close to actually bleach the buds white and still grow trichomes! Not ideal ofcourse, but it has happened before! tasted a little funny but sent me to space thats for sure. But they won't get heat damaged, even though showing similar signs. 6 inches is close to a 600 HPS but its also ideal :) Under good quality CLEAR glass, with no laminate film to block UV, i get awesome results, i've heard people say, why use glass man? it blocks the light.... well put it closer :) simple! as long as i'm careful i wont end up with shards of glass all through my crop. The difference is obvious when taking the heat out of the growing equation. I get scared if my tent gets to 30. Some setups i've seen get to 35 and beyond :0 But mine stays at a nice average of 24-28 degrees, hotter if i open the glass slider more. Closing it reduces my suction capabilities but will cool the tent to 20 degrees with the 600 HPS on. Sucking out nearly all the lamps heat. So i keep it about 3 inches open about up to the bulbs heat zone and the cool air that gets drawn in to the tent gets pulled up to the centre and into the lamps cooling hood :) Very efficient, very reliable and i think EVERY grow should have it, as its also a great safety mechanism. keeping things cooler you will have less chance of things melting or catching fire! ALWAYS IN THE BACK OF MY MIND SO I ALWAYS SETUP CAUTIOUSLY.



Yeah i would say getting hard to get, let alone find... Mine was kept in the family of the guy i know since about 1997 he says so its been around, and he says its had its day. But i'm not so sure, I'm going to clone this round so hopefully push a few out there to some quality growers and one breeder i know. There is more hope than most see, but i think i pulled some decent results, my mentor though thinks i should of pulled a lb for 3 weeks vegging, i'm not so sure. It was a slow start though, and this time i get my 4 weeks veg, but she's slow to take off, i slept in today, and will get some shots tonight :) she looks strange to say the least!!



Ouch... I feel like a father to some rare babies that can't breathe normal air or something LOL!


LOL! She scares me to death when i think of seeds around her!!! I found 1 in the whole lot soo far. It stood out like dogs ballz lol. But it seems like a rare one, and a very imature small green one, nothing similar on the rest of the plant, so i dont think i should worry too much, i just dont think this girl likes heat! the more you take away the better, my mate grows this in 37 degrees and wonders why its riddled with seeds? I might have an idea :) hopefully.....
I already have seeds of this from his crops come to think of it ;) hmmmmmm keepers?
Totally agree about the air cooled hoods, i wouldnt be able to grow in my tent without one :)

Lol about being a father to rare babies, keep them safe man and if you get a male, seed up a bud for future use ;)

Can you please PM me the exact settings you use for you close up macro shots with our camera? I Know I need to use a tripod, because I am not stable enough to get the precise captures you manage to get!

This is all I can do for now:

I vote to keep this thread going!......I dont see any reason to split the valuable information in this one into 2.... if anything it proves that this method can and does produce consistent results. Just my .02 That cut was made for Scrog! Structure seems perfectly willing to grow sideways. -S0uP

Also another vote to keep this thread going ;)

Thanx man :) Thats a go for this thread :)

Yeah, i agree maybe starting her nice and early sideways was a plus, helped her grow a massive trunk nice and early!

Thanx Easty!! good to hear from 2 dudes!

Is that the same plant?!

Wow :O

You must have a magic wand :)

She is in overdrive now. Did you perform the Phos wash yet? It is amazing how your plants perform in the perlite. Can't wait to try this :)

Keep this thread going FlowaMasta.

Have you ever considered using the mainlining technique?


Cheers,
Mo
