    Gratfeful Sell-Out

    Nah, dudes. You guys are all messed up. Jerry would've understood Obamamania, man. In the late 70's and early 80's he used to watch televangelists like Billy Graham and Pat Robertson, 'cause he understood what draws people to a Pied Piper-like personality. Barack's got that, but he "gets...

    What's your audio system like?

    It's like listening to 3-dimensional waves of Grade A Light Amber maple syrup. I've got a Cary preamp that is the best I've had in my system. I had an Audio Research LS-7, which was really open and airy sounding, but a little dry and thin on the bass and 2-dimensional. A Conrad-Johnson PV10...

    Here are a couple of pics of my rig, underwhelming after PanHead's.

    What's your audio system like?

    I agree with 99% of what you said, except this point. Many tube amps over 40-50W are Class AB. My Assemblage amp (Sonic Frontiers kit) is AB Ultralinear, as are some Audio Research, Conrad-Johnson, and others. My system's a few notches lower than yours (Cary, B&W, Rega Planet 2k, Clearaudio...

    How does this look? 28 days of flowering. And a question.

    I wound up with 1 3/4 ounces dried from the one plant, which I'm happy with. I will say that I'm not 100% sold on using CFLs vs. an HPS or MH, since I used 8 42W bulbs, for 336W of electricity, but I think I would've gotten the same results with a single 250W HPS. The high was great, nicely...

    I'm back after doing my first grow of a skunkberry plant from Peak Seeds this spring. I did a grow journal back then, maybe I'll take a few pictures this time too. I'm doing a few skunk plants from them now. Anyway I started reading again to see if I can get a bigger harvest this time...

    How does this look? 28 days of flowering. And a question.

    I moved the lights away a little bit for the picture because otherwise the plant looked washed out in the pics. Usually they're inside the foliage. I've got reflectors for all 8 sockets, but it seemed like it was limiting my ability to put the bulbs as close to the biggest buds as I wanted to...

    How does this look? 28 days of flowering. And a question.

    I picked Peak Seeds because they have a 4 1/2 star rating on the Seed Bank Update and the prices were only $30. I sent US cash. They don't have as big a selection as Hemp Depot which is the other one I thought about (I felt a little weird about having European packages arriving, I figured...

    How does this look? 28 days of flowering. And a question.

    Here's an update. This is at 5 weeks and 3 days of flowering. It's noticeably thicker than it was at 4 weeks, and the smell is even stronger--more blueberry than skunk smell. The seed company says it should take 8-9 weeks of flowering, so I figure I've got about 3 more to go. I think the...

    light cycles

    I'd go with the 18/6. On my first two plants, I went 24/0. I transplanted them at 3 weeks and they had good roots. Then I found out those were males. After doing some more reading, I grew a couple more (same strain) at 18/6 and transplanted those at 3 weeks. The roots were at least twice as...

    How does this look? 28 days of flowering. And a question.

    You think 8 42W CFLs will work decently? I figure that's close to 20,000 lumens, which is close to what a small HPS might do?

    How does this look? 28 days of flowering. And a question.

    How does my plant look? It's a skunkberry (blueberry mother x skunk male) from Peak Seeds. I started a couple of seeds a few months ago, they grew beautifully, then both turned out to be males. I suspect it was due to growing them with 24 hours of light; plus, the fertilizer I used was high...

    Well, that's not really the seeds' fault, is it? Shouldn't the ratio be around 50/50? And I've never been very lucky, anyway. Besides, the skunkberry picture looked good on the website.

    maine ordering

    I'm in Maine and I bought some seeds from Peak Seeds in Canada. Arrived with no problem in a regular business envelope, with thin foam with a section cut out of the middle where there was a little piece of corrugated plastic, like cardboard but not cardboard, that the seeds were in. Nohing...
