Again thanks for the comments jomal, to answer your question I think ALL marijuana plants are beautiful, I haven't had any experiences with bagseeds or any other at that matter, however I've seen some grows that used bagseed and they turned out quite nice.

Thanks Hot for stopping by, I have somewhat been keeping up on your journal, I'm sorry to hear about your loss, however Kiki is looking good, you'll get some pretty girls out of her, keep up the good work on your grow...

Thanks Crazy, I will be posting damn near everything to the end, every nook and cranny!

majim, that's exactly what it is, and it was perfect for when the plants were small, however if I would of kept it I could of only been able to fit bushy under it, I'm using the fan, power plugs, switches etc. for my new grow box, oh I have an inverter as well but the output is only 320w, my lights are over that but I'm sure I can rig up some emergancy lights, please let me know how you plan on hooking yours up.

Thanks Ribbet and tech for stopping by showing support, however I'd like to keep this journal friendly, I agree that beheading is disturbing but if it makes anybody feel any better I heard that it was staged , thanks tech for replacing it, if that was an avatar where sombodys holding down a male plant about to slice it .. that would be cool.

Killer I forgot to ad in me last post .. I Love Your Avatar, Fear & loathing In Las Vegas was the best!


I can't thank you all enough for the kind comments and support, you all have been great!, keep coming back it works!

Think you have just about changed my mind into cfl's instead of any T's flou's for my grow....although I did a search today on craigslist and found 100 yea....100 400watt metal/h for 20 bucks a piece....its a good two hour drive, but they are promised to all work!!! anyone wanna split some shipping charges???? Thanks for the PM earlier Hum, btw, read your journal twice!!! Still thinking about building your set up~ 20 dollar m/h sounds too good to be true!!!
MORE PICS~~~pulease! Oh, and that stink bug???? If I was a stink bug, I'd chomp a hole in one of those plants too....course yould find me walking around in circles and get rid o me too, huh???

Thanks pencap for dropping by, 20 bucks for a mh bulb is great but you'll still have to get a ballast, hood etc.. if you don't have the duckets to get a mh/hps system right away then I would recommend doing a cfl grow for starters, you can always ad to it as you go as I did....

I haven't seen anymore damage since I got rid of that bug, hopefully no more appear!



Well guys I'm very stoned and am bored, please bear with me, most of this post may be nonsense to you but interesting to me, feel free to scroll on by.


Here are some random budshots, I decided to take them while taking pics of some miscellaneous stuff,





















Here is that single plant I grew outdoors a couple years ago,














I used job sticks and tap water, came out ok I thought, however it grew pretty small, I'm thinking due to where I had to keep it most of the time (in shady area behind shrub and such) was being sneaky!



Front Row Seat - here is where I sit dreaming of the harvest,





My cats got the veg room covered,




















She will lay there as long as I'm in my chair, or she likes to lay on my lap.


Inverter & cat,





For when power goes out, I just got to figure out how I'm going to hook it up and probably need another battery or two.


The fire extinguisher,





The smoke alarm,





You never know what could happen, specially with me doing all the wiring and My mom said so.. speaking of my mother, she asked today (while I was gawking at my girls) "How do you know when they are ready?" I replied "it will go DING!!" she thought that was cute, like an oven timer or something.


Spare shop lights, and new grow box,





I don't exactly know what to do with the flos, although I was thinking about putting one on each end of the veg room but I don't know if that would be worth the extra wattage/electricity, also was thinking of hanging them up somewhere so I can have a nice lit up area for taking pictures. Who knows!



Screen shot I took awhile back, 420 YEAH!





I couldn't resist when seeing it, I have a slight fascination with the numbers 420.


PreFlower Flip Off!





Something else I couldn't resist, doesn't it look like those two lil leaves are giving us the middle finger?


The End!

I think I am un bored now, it's bout time for bed, thanks for bearing with me... good night!

Thanks, Gyp for stopping buy and for the comments, keep coming back it works!



tahoe good to see ya again, yeah my cat's very interested as she's an indoor cat and doesn't get to touch nature on the outside, I let her have at the males, she nips at the leaves, is fun watching her.



Thanks jomal, stick around rollitup, check out as many journals as you can, visit the FAQ frequently and your grow will do well, I'll be here to help out with what ever I'm able to.


Read a lot learn a lot, Read a little learn a little!


Thanks dankie, words such as those, are as good as the bud itself, Again thanks everybody for their support and don't forget to post your grow journal links, I would love to check them out...


Until next time!

Dude, when are you going to invite us over to go skiing and snowboarding? Those things are looking fucking awesome! I love that chair looking right at them :) I too have a lay z boy looking right at my closet. People dont understnad how i can stare at plants for hours but i can. I notice something new every day. Man i hope mine turn out as good as those. Oh, your mom kick ass for letting you grow like that. My parents would kick me out for reading high times. It all stems back to their parents being bad alcoholics and addicts but thats a whole other thread in itself :-|

Hey ive got a question about cloning, my clones are in a cloning system with air bubbles and rockwool cubes and all that and they look healthy but they;re starting to curl up and it looks like theres white or red in the middle. Is this mold? Are they too cold? Not enough light? If anyone can help me let me know. Thanks

Dude there is no snow where I'm from, I really don't like the snow and I definitely don't ski or snowboard, I would more likely take you boating or 4 wheeling, when in season..lol I wonder how many other people sit and gawk at their plants, I'm sure it's just a noob thing... thanks for your comments btw.



Thank you masta, macgyver eh .. yeah I guess I do use what I can get my hands on, it's fun trying to be creative.. not all fun though lmao, didn't you post a pic of your cat while back? I think that was you, if so yeah I think our cats both have tabby in them (tabbys are the best) thanks for being my biggest fan/supporter, keep coming back it works!



I'm sorry susc I'm unable to answer your questions, I have had bad luck thus far concerning cloning, I'm putting that on hold as I'm over flowing with girls and am running out of room, I'm working on a new grow box so that I can start the cloning process and flower the remaining girls, I did post my cloning experiences while back here in this journal, if you are able to post some pics, maybe one of these nice folks would be kind enough to help you with that, thanks for stopping by.


Pics of what, do I not post enough as it is? lmao j/k, I took some random budshots today while watering but I thought they haven't changed much since the last shots but I will post them for ya!

More random budshots,




















Some more shots of my cat vegging in front of the veg room,










She likes to be near me a lot of the time and since my computer is right next to the veg room, she spends a lot of her time there...

Thanks guys, Oh I almost forgot, I think I'm growing more than one strain because mediocres smell is much stronger and different than bushy and smalls, mediocre smells hella good! Can't wait to see what happens!

Well done on the grow so far mate. Things are looking good and I am enjoying the progress!

You seem to be like me, always on the go trying new ideas out, throwing things together. I have a white board i doodle on with all my ides. Sometimes works.

Keep it up!

i stopped using an expensive cloning system (roughly $200) in favor of a more organic approach. start w/ approx 2qt. pots. if in soil use a sterile or non sterile mix, i've experimented and found it really doesn't matter. dip in any rooting hormone. i like the gel. and plant about five cuttings per pot. make sure the mix is moist at all times. temp no higher than 80f and no lower than 70f
you say "white or red",where do you see that in the stems, the leaves or the soil? mold will start in the soil and work it's way up.
i don't like rockwool. cost is unnecessary. it wicks moisture like a mother fucker at the expense of the plants. anyway, if you start clone in soil you can always wait till the little ones have enough roots and then wash off the soil when you transfer to hydro.

I think I read that for sugaring, most brands will cut it. Do a search on here for 'molasses' and I'm sure you'l find 800 links to posts where this is discussed.

Just use a tablespoon for every 2-3 liters and that should cut it.

BTW, very nice CFL grow. Perhaps one of the best I have seen.

Humboldt would mind posting a pic of your light setup? Maybe sometime when they're in their dark stage so we can see exactly how you've got all of your lights arranged?
