Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

was it Cannalope Haze? aka C99. those guys seem pretty shady from what i have read. just my opinion... but you might check out some more reputable breeders for C99 f2's f3's etc. or crosses.

Milton friedman hell ya! Dna has good stuff. I could care less where my gear comes from as long as its quality. You can't really pantent marijuana lol. I'd like to try rocklock, chocolope, and coletrain. Peace.

well done sir! i guess i just have an ethical problem getting behind ripped off gear. esp from bros grim.

little known fact... milton friedman was an advocate of legalization! not to mention being a world class economist.

hello everyone!
pass that over here and welcome me to thread
damn this is long, i'm only a little over half way through it, but anyway...

sorry to bring something up from back in feb (thats as far as i've read so far)
but i saw a pic from dirthawker and thought i'd throw a little twist onto it

i have a pic of it below and that net really looks like a hassle.

here's an idea that will save you from messing with it during harvest time
and will stop it from being a recurring cost every grow

drill holes where i have the red dots and add PVC where i have the green
then run wooden dowel rods through the holes

so they don't slide out if you bump them
leave the dowel rods long enough to stick out of each side an inch
buy some nuts that are the wing nut type to thread onto them

i have included a pic of wooden dowels incase anyone doesn't know what they are
any lumber yard, ace, lowes, menards, ect. will have them

Height Issues??
permalink
well im sure im not the only who has has height issues.. maybe because of sativa dominant strain or because vegged too long.. in my case its both. so what to do? break em! here are some pics , supper cropped them last night, 24 hrs later whaddaya know.. looking nice. brought em down almost 12 inches, and made myself more main colas.. cant go wrong!

Wow Cholochef, that looks real good. Did your Dad teach you that?????

I think you would be fine with 2x250's for the Stinkbud jr. The closer you can get your lights the better! You might wanna look at scroging it also to maximise yield.

Thanks man. Want to keep it a little smaller that Stinks Op. Scrogin sounds great.....had never heard of the term and just checked in on it. Waste not want not right? Thank you very much kiss-ass

So as advice from stinkbud he told me to raise the nute PPM, at first I'm just the guy who says if its not broken then don't fix it. So I changed the rez out bring the PPM to 1500. All I have to say is OMG!!!! ( was at 1250 PPM ) It has only been 24 hours and all the plants in the flower unit have filled out like mad! I had a inch of growth over 24hours on my largest plant. I know I need to start flowering, If I start with my MH 12/12 and the in 5 days switched to my 600w HPS would this help? Hurt?

Thanks again all!

The MH might actually work better for the first week of flowering. Less stretch.

Bump up your PPM to 2000 and stand back.

Stink what do you think .. as you know my lights are aircooled so moving them up and down is difficult. I was thinking of building a platform about 15 inches high to set the newest flower plants and reservoir on. Something easy like cinder blocks and a nice thick piece of plywood. That way the new plants go on a platform nice and close to the lights , then they move to the right back to the ground and then to the right again for the finish.

Im always trying to improve things. I need to keep my mind working, instead of just watching the grass grow.

here is some more bud porn since I havent been on in a while.
Yes I know there are ladybugs, I put them there. about 1500 lady bugs, there one of my ways of preventing bugs.

hey dirth
i have extra long air ducts on mine
and i have light pulleys it makes it so easy to move up and down

hey andy
what strain are those first two pics
they look familiar

I used to move my lights up and down but now I'm just too lazy. It is easier to just add another light.

My plants grow so fast that within 2 weeks they are already getting close to the lights.

I started my flush last night. I drained the res a couple of times and then added 450ml of Sweet. No Clearex this time. I'm positive it will work great...

I have a new Strain this harvest. I mixed a Skunk #11 with my Blueberry. The Skunk was 75% Sativa with Columbian Gold and Acapulco Gold. The buds look unreal. Kind of like the Blueberry but with bigger calyxes.

I took a sample branch and dried the buds. They smell unreal! It has a mild taste and my first hit gave me a strong head rush. Thought if might be a fluke so I took another...Wow! Another massive head rush. This shit is potent!

The added Sativa increases the ceiling of the high. The high dosen't last as long as the Blueberry's but it's a lot more intense and cerebral. The plant grows fast and ends up huge. I'm calling it Sour Blue.

I also have another plant in flower for next harvest. It's a mix of Skunk #11 and Goo. The leaves are beyond huge! It's too early to tell how the buds will end up.

Nice buds! I love ladybugs! Those poor little fuckers are going to starve. Well at least it will be one hell of a ladybug orgy for a few days anyway!

Hey andy.. i love the ladybugs! its that time of year when they stock ladybugs at the stores.. the warmer it gets the more bugs can become a problem.. i might just have to pick some up myself.

I saw a pic of that sour blue, it looks insane!! I look forward to the future when i am more experienced and can try my hand at creating a strain.

Tomorrow, im cutting down my 3 early finishers (tops) and i think im gonna just take the tops and put them in a flower pitcher and add the sweet like you mentioned and leave them in the flower room for 4-5 days. A nice bouquet of bud..lol

will let yall know how they turn out.

I thought about this too Dirt. We know that the closer you can get your lights to the plants the better.

I was thinking maybe getting an inflatable mattress and putting it under the flowering unit. Turn it on when I wanna raise them, and turn it off when they get tall. What you think dumb idea or not?

An air matress might be kindof wobley.. I think a stationary sturdy platform would work pretty good as long as you know the strains and how high they get in 3 weeks... putting them closer to the lights will keep the stretch down, tight internode length and create more bud sites... Im gonna give it a try..cant hurt.

hey guys i have read about the first 40 pages of this thread and plan on reading it all ....i have a question tho ....i have two 4x4 trays and each one has an aircooled 1000w hps above it ......i want to get more into aeroponics because i have tryed buckets ...coir ebb and flow ... and my rainforest and the aeroponic rainforest totally schools the other methods of growing ....only buckets come kinda close to growth rate ....

so my question is this can i remove one of my 4x4 trays and be able to fit 2 of the 14 site flowering aero/nft systems ?

i looked at blueprints and i am correct in assuming these are roughly 2ft wide and 5ft long ...including rez and everythin

You are basically correct in the size of the unit, maybe just a bit longer than that with the rez and posts together.

The nice thing about this is you can modify the system (i.e. cut the fence posts shorter, longer or whatever) to suit your needs.

got the hightime book great work building one now
