Come on Pineapple Chunk!

my patients are in my family so I am charging nothing, they are helping me with this grow a little also with funding and helping to take care of things. I am being paid in full for all costs of this project (aside from gas money). Lighting, eletric, propane, soil, seeds, water, etc...everything is being reimbursed to me.

They are very sick so can't help out a whole lot with the actual growing, Treating: MS, Glucoma, Severe & Chronic Pain

thats really cool. about 4 years ago my uncle died from a really bad case of MS. he was always a stoner and he blazed all thru his dying days. it got to the point where he couldnt move or talk and my aunt would 24 hours a day roll him up joints and hold the joint to his mouth and he would puff away. i wish he made it 4 years longer so i can be the one to ease his pain with MY medicine and my aunt wouldnt have been buying blackmarket to keep him happy.

wesmkdro, yes thats how i got my patients, ones a friend and one i got from craigslist, the third is me a free oz a month and 250 every subsequential oz after that. and lol yes they get plenty after that as well.

At least his pain has ended man. Sorry to hear he had to go through that.

thank you. he was only like 33 and i also watched grandma and aunt go thru similar (throat cancer and pnemonia). shitty thing to watch man.

anyway ....cool avatar!

deprave, wheres the updates? i wanna see some pics.

Hey guys my phone has a bug with windows mobile I think I can fix it tomorrow - it is preventing me from uploading pics at the moment.

Hey guys so I got my camera again working, here is some of the pics from day 8 transplanting, we are now on day 11 since the first seeds broke soil (sweet tooth). In these pics you will see me creating the pots for the sweet tooth, 3.5 gallon pots..I added first some perlite, second some MG organic, third a handful of dolomite lime, and then finally another layer of perlite and mixed it around really good.

I put Vanilla Kush, Lemon skunk, and the bagseed seedlings in seed starter mix under the 1000w MH with the sweet tooth, Sweet tooth growth I believe has slowed down since transplanting also we have had some really cold nights that it was 60F in there and has not went above 70 much at all in these last days. The VK, LS, and bagseed have made much progress..Easy Ryder has also broke soil recently, more detailed update to come soon I am going to pickup a bag

In addition to the other ones germinating mentioned earlier in this thread we also have another white widow, 2 sweet tooth, and 12 bagseed germinating just put under paper towel

is that their home inthe background?

hmmmm?
what you mean

the wood structure with the fan on it that will be a bud drying place, the wooden lookin cab with the yellow rope dangling from it that is just a cfl cab it was going to be used to isolate a mother but not really sure what to use it for now...the room will be split into two parts, 1/3 VEG and 2/3 Flowering...for now we are only vegin so no split

gotcha. thats just what i was askin.

do you guys think light is a good distance from them, I am about to go out there and set the sweet tooth up on the blue container with the babies, it would help them stay a lot warmer in these cold temps, looking at installing a heater system soon. It is cold outside lately and its showing not much sign of letting up - the temps are staying between 60 and 70F from what I have witnessed but it could of easily got 50F or so in there during the night. The seedlings Vanilla Kush, Lemon SKunk, and bagseed have made a lot of progress today, Pics soon

i cant see the distance you have the lights now. yikes 50 is cold tho. get a space heater for now if you can.

It is about 1 meter..you can see in this pic:

the sweet tooth is about 1 meter and 6inches from the canopy (its 3.5 gal pots setting on the ground) (the blue rubermaid is about a foot tall, its a 45 gal) (sweet tooth not shown in this pic)

going out there to blaze some white widow bud and move some things around, I will get some pics..I got white widow and a pheno called 'wet pussy' , the wet pussy is indica so I have indica and sativa to smoke on

Wet pussy is always good.

If my metric is right 1 meter is 3 feet right? That seems a little high off the plants. My light is about 6-8" off the tops of my plants. Stick your hand under there. If it doesn't feel warm move it closer til it feels too hot then back it off a bit. You want the plants to feel the warmth but not get cooked. The plants will be growing too, so you'll need to continuously monitor your light height

yea def drop that light a bit. dont go too close cuz your not air cooled yet. is it MH?

Yea its MH not cooled but I have that big fan in the background I can turn on so is blowing onto the light and the duct with a 500CFM infline fan is nearby the light taking air out, Ok what I did for now was sit all plants on top of that rubbermaid, making the sweet tooth about 2.5ft from light or maybe a little less - We are about to go hookup a heater out there in a minute, I got some more pics that are uploading right now, We are thinking to build some tables about 1ft high. The reflector is batwing chrome, , magnentic ballast that is refurbished..The bulb is a GE 1000W Metal halide, it was all 200$ shipped. Flowering lights are going to be 3 600w lumatek digital - I am not even sure if I want to get air cooled hoods at this point or not because the room maintains 70F-75F even when it is 85F outside and thats about as hot as it gets in michigan - more lights is more heat though but I don't forsee heat ever really being a problem, half of this room is underground and the floors are cement I think is a big contribution to the cooling along with our powerfull ventilation system it seems we will be able to cool it easily.

dude the heat will certainly be a problem and air cooled hoods will be required in your setup esp with 3, 600's unless you have A/C in that room. trust me when it get 90 degrees outside your room will be 100 at least. i keep my room under 70 and their air cooled so aboe the plant anopy itslike 80.

noted, thank you

Hey guys we are on DAY 12 Now - These pics are 4 hours after lights on - DAY 12 Since first 2 Sweet tooth broke soil.

Summary:


1. Barneys Farm Sweet Tooth (x2) (Feminized) - 11 day old seedlings - in 3.5GAL POTS - MG ORGANIC + LIME + PERLITE 1000W MH 18/16
2. Low Lyfe Easy Rider (autoflower) (x1) (Feminized) - Broke soil 3 days ago. Still trying to work its way in position - In Jiffy pellet + CFL 24/0
3. Flower Power (autoflower) (x1) (Feminized) - has not sprouted. - In Jiffy pellet + CFL 24/0
4. Barneys Farm Pineapple Chunk (x1) (Feminized) - has not sprouted. - In Jiffy pellet + CFL 24/0
5. Seedsman White Widow (x1) (feminized) has not Sprouted. - In Jiffy pellet + CFL 24/0
6. Barneys Farm Vanilla Kush (x1) (feminized) 6 day old seedling. In 16 oz party cup. Spaghum moss + "seed starter" 1000W MH 18/16
7. Unknown Bagseed (x2) (non-feminized) 1x 6 day old seedling. 1x has not sprouted. In 16 oz party cup & Jiffy Pellet. Spaghum moss + "seed starter" 1000W MH 18/16
8. Lemon Skunk (x1) (Feminized) 6 day old seedling. In 16 oz party cup. Spaghum moss + "seed starter" 1000W MH 18/16



As you can see we added a heater, the heater was placed in front of the large box fan 9ft from the plants blowing warm air throughout the room over the bulb and out the ceiling exhaust..the thermostat was then set to 70 LOW - so hopefully this should balance out the temps a little more on these day cold rainy days.

There is some definite stem and stalk formation and a little leaf growth on the second node of the sweet tooth, you can see the sweet tooth in the green 3.5gal pots.

The 3 babies have really shot off: That it from left to right starting at the red party cup: Vanilla Kush, Lemon Skunk, Followed by Bagseed.

Temps running around 65-70 and humidity around 60 as you can see, this was before adding the heating element - pretty cold day out.

I watered the plants lightly 12oz of water split between them all distilled - Ph of water between 7 and 8.

The sweet tooth pots are placed on top of the blue rubbermaid to get them off the cold ground and closer to the light (temporary adjustment) - We are thinking of building tables about 1ft off the ground.

The easy ryder is trying to escape from its jiffy cube in one picture.

Next to the orange zig zag paper is the white widow bud, in the bag is the wet pussy buds.

you guys think I should give the sweet tooth plants a little nitrogen food or no?

The only nutrients they have had is from the soil. MG Organic it has the slow release nitrogen stuff.
