And speaking of more growth, I haven't seen my girls in at least six or seven minutes, maybe they've put on a growth spurt? I'm going to check.

It's just time to give them some more water. I like to stretch out their watering for about an hour or two.

I would say in about a week or so you should start to see a noticeable difference. That's not to say your plants will shoot skyward but you will notice they are growing faster. It only makes sense, the more leaves they have the more photosynthesis they can produce and thus the more food the plants can make for themselves to promote more growth.

I got a touch over three ounces dry from my sour cream, which by the way is delightful to smoke. A nice lemon taste, not overpowering lemony and a damn good smoke. That was the first of my four strains to be gone from my last grow. Grew her is a three gallon container, vegged for six weeks and flowered her for eleven or twelve, don't remember exactly. I also lst'd her.

Well I'm brewin' up some worm casting tea in preparation of my babies sprouting tap roots and of course to give to the girls. I put about a tablespoon or so of molasses in the water to give them little microbes something to eat and make more microbes. I took a five gallon bucket filled it with tap water and put four air stones in there to keep the water agitated. When it forms a nice foamy top I'll know it's ready. My og18/skunk clone is flowering. Poor thing has spent its whole life under 12/12 conditions, from clone to flower. I love experimenting!

I used a one gallon paint straining mesh bag to hold the castings and tied the top closed and hung it over the edge of the bucket into the water.

StrictlyS. I keep meaning to tell you how much I like your signature, I used to do electrical work, I gave it up cause of just that, electricity wanting to go home and me being in the freaking way.

I have been doing electrical for almost 10 years, and I have had some close calls myself. You really have to respect the current, and understand its just that, a current. Never give the ground or neutral any chance of getting near you when working with a hot wire, and you should be fine, or you can just flip the breaker. I worked on alot of non-legit panel upgrades in my day (not something I agree with anymore), and I worked with HIGH voltage live wires without much concern. Im sure you know all that, but its one of those jobs that can be dangerous if you arent really confident. The craziest story I ever heard about someone getting killed was an electrician that worked on my oil rig before me. Side note-My last day offshore was the day the gulf rig fire/spill started...wierd because I gave my notice 3 days before. So this electrician was busting his balls on a giant electric motor (about 10' x 10' x 12') and he cut a few corners and didnt want to go the 80 yards to the breaker room. He may have turned the breakers off already, and someone could have turned them back on because he didnt use the "lock out, tag out" procedure, but no one confessed anything like that so we dont know. He ended up becoming part of the current for the circuit somehow, and melted/exploded his body instantly. We are talking about 400 amps minimum. Dangerous yes, but a shot of 20A 120V is better then any cup of coffee.

No bus fuses... but here was my old panel before I upgraded it. Used the internet and taught myself how to rewire the house from the riser down.

The worst part... I found something like 10 inline splices in my attic. They were really shadily done too. As if it's not bad enough on it's own. Plus one wire / triwire, whatever you call it, was running through a hole drilled into a rafter, and someone needed to put a supporting board there... and they just hammered the new board right onto the exisiting rafter, squishing the wire in the middle. It was even singed. Can't beleive the house never burned down. Some of the wiring was from the 30's, lol.

Outdoor, I'm curious, do you think beside strain, location also plays a factor in dry harvest weight? If I could, I would have my plants outside by the end of march. That would give me four full months of veg time before they started to switch over to flowering naturally. People in other parts of the country don't have that luxury. Subcool has a thread called "The Garden of Weeden", whoever, grew all different strains of subcools making, most if not all are available to us through TGA seeds if I'm remembering correctly? Anyway it was a california grow and it averaged between six and twelve pounds per plant...dry. The thread is probably still on here but my searching abilities of RIU leave much to be desired and I don't feel like driving myself crazy looking for it.
Click to expand...
That sounds very doable, the 6 pounds plus dry, I dont preveg. So my outdoor plants could have all been much bigger than they were, I start in april from seed outdoors. If you preveg for a month or two then put them outside you will get some massive yielders, I just never had a good spot for 15 foot plants, I have had sativas nearly that tall as it is in my earlier grows when using bag seed. I will not get into the density debate because its fruitless, super dense or not, you get more and better pot from outdoor plants. I dont really think the better part is debatable at all. I would like to see everyone try a side by side giving proper attention to both clones. I think some folks would be very surprised. I think people see something and it looks better so they think it must be better, with indoor vs outdoor cannabis, this is not the case. Oh to answer your ? Headsup, location plays a huge role. Your environment is everything. Some places have a higher natural co2 concentration, rain, heat, all that comes into play. Oh yeah, I must add, I have NEVER gotten a hermi outdoors. Indoors is a whole different story, as it seems to be a common occurance with a lot of strains these days, probably because of fem seeds, but even with fems I have never gotten a hermi outdoors. To add to that, FUCK! My vanila kush was a hermie, and I have to keep an eye on my violator kush and chronic. Barneys better not of fucked me, I will punch Derry in his face if I ever make it to amsterdam, Im serious I just dont care enough to do it.

1BMM-if you could post a pic of your panel, I could give you some guidence.

jig-I remodeled a bathroom on an old house by SDSU that had wiring like that. It blows my mind that more of these old houses dont burn down on a regular basis. The skin on the outside of the wires is a fabric...a damn fabric. Im not sure when that house was built, but the old bathtub I removed was stamped 1951 (also had those dragon feet).

outdoor-Im sure your favorite herb is OD, im sure my favorite is ID hydro, so im sure we both love what we do.

To each their own, I dont mean to sound like an asshole or be argumentative, Im very low on meds, nauseated as fuck. I know I love what I do, indoors or out. Im in love with the plant and have been since I found a plant of my dads as a young child. I "grew up" on outdoors stuff. I have always found myself to be very "in tune" with mother nature, as I try to give back more than I take away compared to most. Im a very odd individual most would say, as I dont even drive. I dont feel I have the right to kill the earth, forgive me for not being a greedy organism. And I like to think that mother nature returns such favors in my outdoor grows. A fish told me I was doing well for my areas environment. But that was after I went down a tunnel of light and had an outer body experience on some strong hallucinogens. Ok the ranting about stuff that has to point to it is over. take care, everyone. 5 years day in day out nausea and vomiting is seriously wearing on my mind.

Nice topic of discussion, dodgy electrics and outdoor/indoor soil/hydro debate....anything else we forgot? hehe.

Strictly...ever see knob and tube electric from the old days? Talk about scary. I just had a new 200A service installed last year. I have two dedicated 20A circuits in my grow room (not really dedicated since they don't have their own grounds) along with the existing circuit for the room. I have room for another six hundred light but I don't want the bill that will go along with it. I had to splice both of my lines in my attic. I didn't want the electrician to know my back room is a grow room and the attic access is in the closet in that room. Sooo, I had him leave two lines in the center of my attic for 'future expansion'. I used to work with the guy years ago so he had no problem doing that for me. After they were finished I took a four inch square box, screwed it to a rafter, grounded it, made my splices and coverd it. I know it's illegal but who will ever see it?

Jigfresh, now that is what I call a bonafide cluster fuck. I haven't done electrical in twenty years so I'm not the person to ask for help plus I was never a registered electrician more of a helper with knowledge of electric. I was a house painter for years, right up until thursday of last week when I mouthed off to the boss for cramming six days worth of work into four. We also get no overtime, we are 'independent contractors'...in name only, they treat us as slaves. I've been there for just over three years and because I mouthed off for them killing us and paying no overtime, I've been reduced to 'part time'. I'm supposed to work tomorrow but that remains to be seen. I'm waiting for the call tonight to say a job has been canceled or some such shit and then tell me there is no need for me to come in. I need the money, I need to work but hate working where I was/am because the management is like the gestapo, they rule with fear and intimidation. Never a kind word to us, only how we do nothing but screw up. I work for a group of thieves, liars and cheats. They lie to us, they cheat us out of overtime and they steal by not paying their fair share of taxes. If it weren't for the money, I would be happier than a pig in shit to get away from them.

Thanks for the offer of advice seedless. For now im going to let it be. I got to many unfinished projects at the moment haha.

Jigfresh that does look dangerous sandwiching wire between studs, Not very safe. Good thing you caught that before a fire. My wiring is quite similar as in its very very old. My house was built in 1850 so you can imagine the old porcelain lugs nailed to the floor boards as connection points. Its quite intimidating. Im sure that the wiring itself is not as old as the house as it seems that all the lighting and recepticles had to be fished up the walls and are few. Thats what my main concern is overloading a curcuit and causing the old wiring to run hot. Will be keeping a close eye. I bought this plug box called a shock buster from lowes as a safe guard. Seems to be just what i needed.

Well got me just a few more free days to wrap up my home remod before the next flood of masonry work. Business is shaping up really good. Hope it stays that way.

Peace 1BMM

Here are some random pics of a G13, Jack Herer and mystery medical seed on day 54 of 12/12. I'm going to post some updates on fdd's thread on Thursday or Friday when I think they should be done but maybe I can get some second (or 3rd, 4th, etc.) opinions here? :weed:

This will be my first harvest and I have nothing but time on my hands so if you guys say wait another week, 10 days, or more I can wait :joint::mrgreen:
