NICE :) I'm still in the stone-age, all magnetic ballasts over here. They won't give in, EVER, such solid beasts, don't know if I will ever get to try a digital ballast...

Nice shape on her. I can't remember if the LSD buds stay cone like? Looks good man. Can't wait to see some Sweet Tooth flowers soon. How many more weeks you planning on vegging?





Love the color on these Stew. Couple of the guys were suggesting I use the freezer for cures. One of the advantages is it preserves the color of the bud.
I stick to what I know works, jars and Boveda packs, but something with this kind of color is worth preserving. My 6-month old bud has absolutely no green left in it, all gold and yellows.

I've never owned a magnetic ballast but the tech reminds me of amps and tuners. The old vacuum tube components sound better and last longer than the digital. I upgraded to a Harmon Kardon AVR7000 receiver about 10 years ago in my home theater. It's digital and weighs in at about 57 lbs. , but for listening to music I prefer the old classic tubes.

they do, but also have a tendency to trow out fox tails near the end, and I would love to move the Auto in asap, but I hate to cut this run early, atleast a week longer for the Indica Pheno and maybe two for the Sativa prone, had to move a few clones in there to make room under the T5s for my Veg plant`s and Auto but do pretty good so fare considering they are at the edges of the LEDs, once I cut the first plant I move em in under the LEDs with the auto as well

Wife and I walked the kids to school this morning, always nice in the morning. We have had draught conditions here for years, damn global warming! We can water the lawn once a week. My neighbors are always eye-balling me because I have a green yard when most are brown. Have to educate them that plants need more than just water. I feed the lawn every 5 weeks and it is very draught tolerant with deep healthy roots. Bet they still think I'm watering more often.

Prosp... You are talking my language! I'm a valve freak, always have boxes full of valves laying about, a whole variety of 12ax7's and EL84's for my guitar amps, rectifiers from old army radios etc :) I am what musicians call a 'tube roller' I can go on and on about modern Chinese valves vs real old stock German and Russian tubes lol...

Wish I had the ears and talent for music. My sister got the music genes and went on to be a high-school drum major and later on play for the symphony as a flutist. I appreciate the tech and the simplicity of what works best. My dad had a reel to reel that I used to play with when I was a kid. That's were I learned a lot about high fidelity even if it was during a time of Disco!

Look at that far out time machine. Heavy. :P

Just sitting here under a spooky green light dabbing, watching cartoons and doing some trimming. My bedroom reeeks. It's like a smelly haunted-house. Day 53 and bow howdy, were they ripe. Finished a week early this run. Looks like 2+ ounces on each (dry weight). Not bad for a couple measly 17 inch plants. I'll take some close-ups before I start the cure.

Still can't decide what I want to run in my new DWC setup. I just finished building a pair of these.

007.jpg015.jpg

I'm fixin' to grow some beasts. Each plant gets 10g of root space, 2 beer can sized airstones, and a drip halo top-feed that can be easily detached. Ran me $50 to put one of these together. Eventually, I hope to go fully automated (Since my new job has me out of the house a lot). I just ordered a nice pH controller that will control two separate buckets with Up and Down @ a 1:8 ratio. It will inject either into the main res whenever pH is too high/low. Snapped up a digital hydro/thermostat so I don't have to run the AC manually. May even save me a few bucks. With those new additions, I should only have to spend a few hours a week in the garden. Excited to see what shakes loose.


Have a gnarly rest of the week gentlemen.

yea grow a monster MJ indoors, and plant it in the middle of your neighbors lawn doing the night, then you can eyeball them

p.s.
the company I work for make the machines that make artificial grass, so my boss of course "planted" it all over our roof balcony where we eat our lunch when the wether allows it, been looking for some plastic flowers to "plant" on his law, could be fun to see his face when he discover that flowers is growing on his fake lawn

Hear ya brother, I hate the "collective" in general. Peeps in masses are a dangerous thing.

Neighbors are smoking too, I'm sure. I just get a better price form the dealer! :bigjoint:

How are things in the garden? You have some real organic gurus posting on your thread. I'm sure you love having their feedback.

Slip, You have to shoot me a pic of that roof. It sounds really cool. I have always thought they should have "fake" lawns in Texas. Instead we waste tons of water from our already depleted lakes for irrigation. It's hard to de-program peeps into conservation. Water will become more precious than all other resources very soon. I hope I'm not around when the shit hits the fan. It will suck for my kids and grand kids.

Real antique isn't it?

Congrats on the harvest. Anytime we can keep them alive to harvest it's a win! My W Lavender ripened up really fast too, 52 days. Weird ha? Rest of the plants had weeks left. Definitely get those pics posted, I wanna see.

I know nothing about DWC, but I like what I see. especially the automation and ph adjusting. I'm sure whatever you plant in there will be happy but I would go with a hardy plant to experiment on as you tweak the system. Last thing you want is a delicate strain that reacts to every little issue, ya know? Have a great week and thanks for posting Pin.

well its mainly made for football, or in your languages soccer fields, to replace the grass in areas in the world where the wether/season don't allow healthy lawn`s like in Texas I guess, and the quality is over the last 10 years really moved alone, so close to real grass (the feeling) and more and more clubs switch to it, also easy to keep in your case you wouldn't have to remove weed or mole the lawn, ever !

I would miss mowing :-( There is always a down side. Couldn't imagine the crazy machines needed to make this stuff. Pretty cool that you are a part of that.

Feels weird to have one going again so soon. But I guess it's another of the drawbacks of a small space.
