To make this, I used: (1) 55 gallon plastic barrel The bottom 1/3 of (1) 30 gallon plastic barrel for the exhaust fan mount pipe insulation plastic coffee cans...

Hello everyone. Bamboofarmer here. I have just about run out of smoke from my last grow, and have decided to try another. I'm only planning to grow two plants this time, and I'm attempting it :idea: INSIDE of a 55 gallon plastic drum. My goal with this grow is to harvest as soon as possible, and...

That was a happy day.

7 months later...Just wanted to update, and say that I ended up with just over 6.5 ounces from the four plants. Not too bad for my first try I guess. I learned a lot and thanks to everybody for the help! Oh, and I ended up with a total of about 10 seeds. Actually kind of glad I got 'em. Using...

And here are this weeks photos:

Ok. I couldn't update last week because RIU was MIA lol! But I ended up not chopping anything last weekend. I began removing the yellow, crispy fan leaves that had lost most of their green. My oldest plant's leaves all turned purple on the cola? And I also put them through a 48 hour dark period...

Yet another update: 9 1/2 weeks into 12/12 light schedule. Not much to report on really. My mid and upper fan leaves are continuing to yellow and die. I'm guessing this is due to the fact that I've only been giving plain water for almost two weeks now. The trichomes are cloudy on most of the...

Not sure about the Kw/h. Each of my tek-two lamps use 2 bulbs at 55 watts per bulb. The tek-two is great if you have an even canopy, but if your plants are different heights, or are very bushy, it's hard to keep the fixture as close as it needs to be.

Actually i'm using tek-two lamps which are similar to t5's. They sell 3,500k and 6,500k bulbs as well as some with extra uv spectrum i think. HTG supply on Ebay is where I found them.

Yeah, I think I'm going to do the 24 hours of dark and let 'em get pretty dry too.

Update: 8 1/2 weeks into 12/12 light schedule. It seems like these plants are really dragging ass. There are a lot of cloudy trichomes, and a few ambers, but there are still a lot of clears as well. I began using plain water this week. Gave all the plants a good watering with a little bit of...

Yeah that makes sense. But for now, I'm employing wishful thinking. lol! I can't wait til these plants finish!

That's exactly what I did. Great minds think alike maybe?:peace:

My thoughts exactly. Eventually i'll post a final seed count on this thread. haha.

I expect them to keep showing up. But three of my plants have now produced these things. I am going to ride the storm out. If I were to chop 'em, I would always wonder whether perhaps I should not have. If it does turn into a seedy mess, at least I will KNOW FOR SURE not to ever do that again!

Thanks for the reply Algore. I read on ICMAG that quite often the pollen from those nanners is not viable. I haven't researched that any further, but is seems most people would disagree with that statement. I'm just doing my best to find them and pluck them. I usually catch 'em while they...

Better luck next time. But at least not all is lost. You got some decent hash, and still have some more buds to harvest; Not to mention the experience you shared with us all. BTW, do you still have the fat chick that came with those pantyhose?

Update: 7 1/2 weeks into 12/12 light schedule. I continued feeding 1/2 strength nutrients this week, but now my leaves have all developed major 'claw' syndrome. Too much Nitrogen I think. I think I'm going to flush all four of my plants starting today. Is that a good idea? The trichomes are...

Thanks BSD! How's your grow going?

Just wanted to update and say that 3 of my plants have now produced bananas. I found one on a third plant last night. One banana grew at the very bottom of a plant, and it opened up. Oops! :neutral: I'm pulling off about 3 or 4 per day total. I catch most of them while they are still green. It...
