Hot and muggy as normal.
Will be out and about the sea on sunday.
Doing my last bit of fishing before the pending surgery
I have been wading this same spot for 30 yrs +
The last 5 or so years every time i go this manatee always scares the shit out of me.
All you see is this black shape coming towards you and then it surfaces a couple feet away.
It is really cool though,the last time the manatee had a baby with it.
Played nazi zombies until 5am this morning..lol
Lol you should nick name it Manny lol, or if it's a girl Mary lol.

Glad you're getting some fishing in before you get your surgery, I've got my fingers crossed for you, definitely keep us updated on your health.

i was at home depot today and was hopen to figure out away to build a 250watt system but couldnt come up with anything besides the bulb.. does anyone have a creative way of maken one?
Without possibly setting the house on fire? Nothing comes to mind, you'd be better off buying a ballast kit to put together yourself, or buy a light system. Either way it's a lot safer than a home made system.

Firstly, sorry to hear about the surgery and extra glad to hear you're okay. The girl's look awesome by the way :hump:.

I do it personally, as far as I was told, it makes the plant think that it's dying. Since the plant thinks it's dying it starts producing more/utilizing the remainder nutes as well. Mind is right on the money about time, 48-72 hours.
Thanks Doob.

that is the way im gonna be growin once i get done breeding..
12/12 from clone SOG about 9-12 plants lollipop whatever isnt gonna show much looking at good yields that way..
but this is just me browse around a little lots of ideas floating around.. but i would recommend growing like that 9-12 SOG good to stay between but you could put more in there but w/e works for you..:joint:

No problem Skyrptz, yeah Hawaii in general is nice but, Maui is home. Haven't been to California yet, been hearing awesome things about it, especially since the money from the MMJ dispensaries have been cleaning it up some. I really want to go out there and check it out one of these days.

Thanks Doob.
No problem Altered.

I think we're all in the same boat on the pockets being empty lol, come on pay day go go go lol.

Regardless if the lights are lifted or not they're looking great Wretched, what date did you put your gals into flower? Mine were the 15th, I figured you put yours in flower already or else I would've waited lol.

I see in my crystal ball that there WILL be two harvests for the 250 club in about eh 1 1/2 to 2 months lol.

This thread is packed with info. I'm still scouring old posts but I thought I'd make my presence known. Gathering data for a SCRoG setup with a 250 HPS.

They sure are, they're getting nice and frosty too.

I personally use a Floralux 250 system that I got through HTGsupply, it's worked well for me and has two vents for air cooling.

lol yeah damn money...

Whats up clubbers? So I'm sitting home today not able to go to work yet cause of the surgery. I'm very close to harvest. I think they are ready today, exactly 7 weeks in flower like subcool said, but I'm not pressed for time so I'm gonna wait another week. My second generation 3ds have been vegging for those 7 weeks and are ready to move to flower anytime so I'll take some generation 3 clones today, let them root for a week in the clone chamber, then transplant them and move them to veg chamber. The same day I'll harvest generation 1 and move generation 2 to flower. That will put me harvesting in 1 week then again in 7-8 more weeks, so I should harvest close to the same time as you Doobs and Wretched. Here are some pics of gen 1 almost ready for harvest.

Ok since I'm at home bored today I'm gonna show how I do the cloning process. I'll be taking clones from 3d generation 2. I have room for 8 plants in 1 gallon square pots in each chamber so I'll cut 12 clones just in case. First I get everything ready. I need 1 cup of fresh water, 12 peat pellets (which I go ahead and get soaking in water), my trusty Take-Root rooting hormone that I purchased from Wal-mart, 24 plastic cups, 12 popsicle sticks for labeling, some sharp little scissors, and some tape. So now I'm ready. I cut the clones from near the bottom of the plant, not always the bottom most branches but the ones that are 4-6" long and closest to the bottom. After cutting the clone on an angle close to the meristem I cut away all large fan leaves. Next I cut the bottom 1/8" off the cutting and immediately stick it in the cup of fresh water and swish it around to remove any air bubbles. Then I stick it in the take root about an inch deep. I tap the stem so any excess hormone falls off. Then I simply stick it in the soaked peat pellet and place it in a plastic cup. I label the popsicle stick with plant name and cloning date and later on with the dates I move it into veg and flower. I place another plastic cup on top and tape them together, thus creating a little individual humididome (well thats what I like to call it anyway lol). 7-10 days later these babies are rooted and ready for transplant into 1 gal square pots and moved to veg. Hope you clubbers enjoy.

I'm not well experienced with pruning. I didnt want to top 3d gen 2 since I did top gen 1, I want to see the difference. So this is what I did. I simply removed all the branches and fan leaves on the lower portion of the plants. I removed more of some than others just experimenting. I'm shooting for a SOG. So this is what I ended up with. Before and after pics and a pic of them in veg after pruning. I need some constructive criticism please!

I find that by removing more than a couple of dead leaves at once will shock the plant a little. I even do my cloning at no more than two tips per plant at once. Astetically pleasing but functionally stunting. AB, let us know if they stopped growing for a couple of day but don't be too concerned. They will start back again.

OK I'll keep an eye on them. It probably wouldn't hurt if they stopped growing for a couple days. They are getting quite close to the max height in veg chamber. Notice I trimmed them at three different levels? Which looks best to you?
