crazy-mental what can i say nat.
ace my friend.
1puff2puff3puff Damn!!!!!!
Thanks for stopping in guys,glad you liked the pics.:joint:

I have decided to buy some seeds from subcool tga for the next grow.
I have chosen quirkle after much thought and many strains to choose from.
I am hoping to cross breed with them and also keep the strain pure.
Hopefully i will get a male to make this easier.

I can now 100% say to soil growers that the airbaskets are very good.
The roots do poke through but then cease to grow any further after about a cm or 2.
Only some little tips are present.
I am thinking that this is also good as the tips will also be able to gather oxygen and possibly co2.
I think the worst thing about soil is lack of oxygen.
These baskets eliminate that problem and they have worked well for me.

My airbasket plant is now twice the size of the others and is loving it.
If you check the little plant that i put into the basket only 10 days ago and then look at the size of it now and consider that i only have 1 400 watt hps and a couple of shop tube t8s then i am sure that you guys with 600/1000 watts+ will be able to get even better results from them.

Loads of air,all the way through,perfect drainage all the way through.
Works i promise and guarantee it:peace::joint:

how big do they make aire pots and where do you get them, like can you buy em at wal mart or you need to go to hydro shop?

Ok here the last night for the male.
His balls are to big and he can no longer be trusted with the females:mrgreen:

I am going to let him finish himself of in his own little box and then collect the pollen when hes dry and save it for the future.
I think hes a pretty damn good male and its a shame i cant let him grow to full potential.
Enjoy the pics:blsmoke:

Hi natmoon. Could you please explain your technique for storing your pollen? It's just that i thought, even refrigerated it had a shelf life of approx 1 week only. I would love to store mine longer if i knew how! Many thanks ;)

I love a male plant by the way, we see far too few of them and your pics are stunning.

There are several ways to store pollen.
I just found that keeping mine in a sealed container with a bag of silica gel works just fine for the short periods that i store for anyway.
The best method as far as i know is vacuum sealed bags that are then frozen.
I am going to use my pollen in the next 3 months.
Ive never noticed any storage problems before.
As far as i know its air and moisture that make pollen unviable.
Remove those factors and you can store it for years,as far as i know anyway.
This is not something that i know for sure though and i am no expert on pollen storage:blsmoke:

Yeah thought that some people might like the male pics.
That male is dark and has blue/black leafs.
Looks really good in real life.
I will use his pollen on the next grow.
Thanks for taking a look and commenting it is appreciated:peace::joint:

Well, sitting here at work I decided to go through all the pages of the grow.

Veryyy nice idea with the air basket. :blsmoke:


I plan on selectively breeding as well once I get more seeds.

Smells sweet and sickly and green.
If i let it go all the way through to full maturity it would smell better and have more resin and trics on it but it has to go in case it pollinates this crop:blsmoke:

No yea of course, I hated having to chop the 2 males I had. One of the ones I chopped was healthier then the rest. Good luck bro!

Some Of My Plants Are Growing Seed Pods And As They Do Im Moving Them Out Of The Grow Room. What Should I Do With Them? Is There Any Thing There That Is Smokeable?

Ok took a clone in flower earlier and have planted it and bagged it.



Hopefully it wont die:mrgreen:

Heres the latest pics for today.
Took some with the hps off and some with it on.
Trics are already building up nicely.
I think this is only day 12 of 12/12.

The plant in the air basket is twice the size of the other plants now.
I encouraged it to stretch by raising the lamp early on into 12/12 as i always like to collect the popcorn buds:joint:
Lamp has been lowered now for the past few days so it should get a lot fatter now:blsmoke::peace::joint:
