first time grow, I was given the Chameleon genesis II plasma light
I am using C02 w/ fuzzy logic and all house and garden line hydro, in hydrotin smart pots not sure what the strain is...

was given the plants way late in veg and had to top the really lanky plants, they ended up stretching much more than i planned.

That's alot of high tech gear for a first time grow. Now that you've got the Hogzilla settup you can work on getting that canopy right.

Wow first grow and givena plasma? That's fuckin badass!

Yeah you shoujld give those lavender afghans a shorter name lol. That's why I just said lavenders. Maybe Purple LAB (Lav. Afg. Bx)(if there purple)Sound like an awesome combination tho and a god outdoor strain too.

Mm I've got some plushberrys germing just goin into coco today. Can't wait man. Plus I just put in a big order for attitudes promo. I've gotten seeds from some dispenseries and sime are great(I'm really happy with my jack herers) but some are a huge let down and waste of time. Its nice you can get clones from ppl you know and trust and good genetics without ordering online from seed. Genetics are key.

EDIT: just wanted to say I've rly grown to love riu and this is by far myfavorite thread.I get as excited checking in here as I do igoing in my garden every day.

EDIT X2: thought of an awesome name for the crosses you have, Lafghan(laughgan) lol. Thought it was kinda clever. I know you can't just name your friends breed but we could call it that lol.

I hear ya on the seed thing. I do not want to ever have to order seeds again. I truly believe that here in Cali we have the highest standard for top shelf weed. This is not to brag, or whatever. It's just a combination of legal meds, a long and proud history of NorCal outdoor growing, and the fact that many world class strains were developed here and/or from stock originating here. Combine all these with a huge population and you have the best green on the planet. As a grower this means some pretty stiff competition. Remember, anyone can go online and order seeds, grow up a few mothers and start cropping. If you're a great grower you may get lucky and come across a good seed. BUT, chances are you'll be like a guy we met last week who did just that and doesn't understand why nobody wants his weed...at any price. He grew La Conf and Super Skunk. His growing techniques could use some improvement, but it really wouldn't matter too much. Niether weed stood out. They both looked just like what everyone seems to be trying to unload here: Good solid weed...but not GREAT weed. What I'm getting at is even though all these cup winning seeds are available, highgrading is still needed to get something that will stand out. I don't mean highgrading with 10 seeds. I mean 100, or 200, or 500...

This is all just my opinion. I feel that there are only 2 ways to start a grow: 1) With a known clone that you've seen grow and smoked, or 2) Spend a year or so with a small highgrading grow to select a couple mothers.

Wood, the Laughgan thing is perfect. How bout Purple Laughgan. That's it...it's named. My friend will just have to deal with it. It's Purple Laughgan, Laughgan for short. Hmmmmm....Laughgani? Do we like the I?

I love RIU, as well. I got invited to move over to THC Farmer. I would never run 2 threads on 2 sites. Seems wrong to me. Plus, I don't have the time. I am told there are more big ops over there. I really dig it here. Lots of people that know what they're doing and a healthy amount of novice growers just getting going. I love helping new people get started in grows. I wish I had me when I first started growing. There was no internet, and just a few books on indoor growing. Sites like these make it possible for a total novice to crank out a good yield of good weed on his first grow.

just got up to date with this thread, nice to see a bigger setup getting put together. Im in San diego and I would love to do a small 8' by 8' room in a industrial area but i dunno....I hate seeing a powerbill for just a 600 and a ac unit. 3 months until i gets moving is alot of overhead building up. maybe one day


thanks for the inspiration collective gardener, good karma to you

We thought about dogs. It's just if someone every poisened them, or killed them however to get in, I would never forgive myself. I just love dogs way too much to put them in harms way. My alarm guy is setting up this deal where we will be texted if an alarm is tripped. No cops. Unfortunately, my lawyer says that it pisses the cops off big time if you're broken into and they are not called. My fantasy is still to have the place rigged to trap them inside.

I agree. I think RIU has the best forum "setup". Some of the other websites look like people making crazy myspace templates back in the day haha. the only thing lacking here is the search feature is kinda strange. Thanks for being here, we enjoy your thread as much if not more as you enjoy it here.

Not sure if you covered this yet but will you be hand trimming or using something automated? Also I am in the process of building my second room. Any chance you can post a pic of how you framed the ceiling to the wall?

Everything looks great. Keep up the good work.

For your blackout obstacle, you could consider getting one of those automatic pool covers, It would be very easy to set up a timer too, and would require no daily maintenance as tarps would.
Although you may need to make it a bit more lightproof than it already is.

Bad ass idea, might cost some coin tho. If you guys are super handy you could rig up whatever your using for blackout material to a garage door motor and rails and have press button open shut.

Yeah laughgani is good too, I was thinkin the same thing a bit after I posted that.

I believe if the breeder is good and has taken his time it raises the chances you have of finding a keeper. You might not get that 1 in 1000 killer but you will get a lot of good bud. If there's a few great ones in a batch of seeds someones gotta get them right? We don't all have room to grow 300 plants to select from so we gotta settle for buyin packs of seeds n savin the good ones we run across.

We'll be using the tunnel trim system...the carpel tunnel. This is going to be a hand trim. One more benefit of a perpetual: everything doesn't come out at once. Trimming still sucks. We have a couple collective members who will help out with this. After all, it is a collective garden.

I think with the right design, no motor would be needed. I mean, you should be able to make something where you just pull three lightweight curtains like a shower curtain, right? I do, however, like the timer idea. It's not something that you can just not do one night.

I totally agree. I also think if you do this for many years of growing, you will end up with a very nice stable of strains. My point was more from a commercial level. I would never want to start a large op without already having the top shelf girls tested and in hand.

The level of perfectionism you guys hold yourselves to is exactly why cannabis is evolving so quickly...

isnt there solar panel tarps for such things? Theres a local greenhouse around here that has a solar paneled tarp over maybe 1/4 of the greenhouse, i stoped an asked em whats up with it, they say it keeps there electric bills down for the whole place to so its sorta paying for its self, the guy i talked to said the worst thing about it is during wind storms it tends to get torn easy
