Yes I have....
I bought 3 clones from a local grower that were 18 inches tall, and full of buds. He cloned in Jan of last year. He cloned a few extra, just in case, and had these left over. He put them outside in March (no room inside). So they went into flower. I pulled off the buds, and re-vegged them in the garden on June 4th. They got to be 6'+, and yielded over 3lbs (together). Its Sativa dominate, so she didn't finish up until mid-late November. We took clones off of her in Aug, and now have a nice mother, and we already did 1 indoor harvest (partners house) this winter. Looking forward to having her in my garden again next year.
The smoke is lighter then most (very potent), and the cured buds smell was described as "a 7-up being popped open". Very much a head high and I seem to get a bit "wired" when I smoke her. Typical Sativa characteristics. I like smoking her when working, but I always seem to mis-place things when I do!

Lemon Purps
She was the surprise of the outdoor garden last year. I got these seeds from a grower in Humboldt County who is known for his Purps strain he grows. He did an outdoor grow a few years back and his garden of clones was polluted by an unknown strain of pollen (male plant) grown in the same area (if its grown in Humboldt it must be good). The buds were full of seeds, and he made me a great deal on a half pound. I took a bunch of seeds and put them away.
She is an easy strain to grow, and when working with her, late in the season, she gives a lemon scent. She gets medium to large in size with many bud sights. The buds are medium sized and very dense, with hints of purple/red/and orange. The smoke is heavy and super sweet with a strong sweet grape-like taste (very tasty). I would say its more of a couch lock high, and is great for pain. If I have things to do that day, I leave the Lemon Purps alone until Im done with my projects. Great evening smoke, but be careful of the munchies, it seems that a bowl of ice cream follows soon after a bowl of the Lemon Purps when smoked in the evening!

Good job I see no problems ...I am considering setting up a 20 x 30 homedepot shed and doing the same... and getting everything out of my house ... are ya happy with your shed set up?
it looks great to me .. a 20 x30 shed will allow me 3 rows of 6 4x4 ebb and floods plus room to spare ... and hook that all up to a propane generator and i able to forget about high light bill issues and run a lot more lights .. have you considered going ebb and flood with your set up ...
1. the low ceiling would work better with ebb and flood buckets because they are short.. I use 5.5 inchs pots all the way through sea of green and i get over 1 pound per light always.
2. hydro cleaner
3. I use hydro ton and its reusable so in the long run its cheap
4. that pound liner thing you have made looks like it could easily be rigged with ebb and flood drain and fill plugs and your off to the races ..
5. less pest issues
6. faster bigger yields..
good luck ..

Hello dr.skunkfunk-
Thanks for stopping by...
So far so good. Doing a shed grow has it's good points and bad.
The Good- Out of my house, away from the family, gets me away from the wife (lol), fire hazard to the home is gone, (I guess if a fire happened in the summer it could still burn down my house and 10 acres) and the mess stays away from the home
The Bad- Security is tougher, less likely to see an issue with grow if something goes wrong, takes away my shed.
So IMHO I think doing a shed grow is a great idea. The good out weighs the bad by far.
Ebb-n-flo grow
I think about it often. I have the stuff to do it too. 6-3'x3' trays, 6- 20 gallon totes full of those "clay pellets" 25- 1 gallon net pots. I found a guy on Craigs list who was moving and couldn't take his grow gear with him, and had to sell that day. I got about $2000 ( I think that's a low guess) of gear for $300.
This is my 1st indoor grow, so I will do my first grows in soil, but once I get the hang of it, and understand the science of indoor growing, I then will venture into the Hydro/Ebb-n-flo grow techniques.

Put a few hours into the grow this weekend. Transplanted the girls into 3 gallon pots.
Set up the flower area with 2-400 watt MH lights (I will veg there until I decide what to do). Took the light from the tent and one I had on the shelf and set them up. Now I need to re-do the co2 math/timers.
The co2 math tells me 4 minutes at 20CFH to bring the co2 levels to 1500ppm for a room that size. So this is going to be the new schedule....Lights on 8:00am, c02 kicks on at 9:00am-9:04am, again at 10:00am to 10:01 (just 1 minute), again at 11:00am to 11:01am (1 minute).
At 11:55am to 11:59am, the fans (exhaust and intake) will kick on full blast and clear out the room of the unknown amount of co2 and bring it back to 300ppm. At 12:00pm the co2 kicks on until 12:04pm then kicks off, and the 3 hour cycle repeats it's self again and again. This should maintain the 1500 ppm of co2 i'm looking for, or close to it.

The girls are pissed at me right now. Spent a few hours today tying, and pulling on branches. I drilled holes into the tops of the buckets, tied a string to the branch and pulled them down, then tied the string off to the bucket. I used this method I need to keep the plant height low, and I can still move the buckets around the room.
LST=low stress training ..LOL I think they got yanked around pretty good today. Hope they dont freak out. The plants that werent ready for the LST technique were super cropped to promote growth from the bottom of the plant and branches.
The garden looks a mess, so no photos today. I will update tomorrow (later today) with photos. I want to give the girls a day to recover before they get their photos taken again.

Your ladies are fine, and will bounce back very soon indeed. maybe back off just slightly on the CO2....
..... not a whole lot, just slightly .

Hello all-
Went to my partner’s house last night for a lil work on the girls. The clones we took out of the cloner and into 20oz Dixie cups with the "Black Gold" Coco soil last week have "Blown up". Unreal growth on these girls for 1 week. I guess being in that cloner with no nutes they were hungry. We transplanted them into 1 gallon pots last night and we had roots doing circles at the bottom of the solo cups that they were in. I'm thrilled to death.
We took out another 8 clones from the cloner and into soil last night. Not all had the nice roots like the first batch did, but there is a "slime" issue in the cloner now, so we decided to take them anyways and start fresh. The majority of the cuttings in the cloner had slime growing on them, so we took those out and replaced them with more Mind Bender X Afghangooey cuttings.
We set up the cloner and added bleach to wash out, and rinsed twice after that with water. Then we set up the cloner, added the cuttings & solution and plugged her in. I used cardboard on top of the cloner to help with the "slime" issue. I'm guessing that light is getting into the water reservoir and growing algae. Ph-ed the water to 5.5 @ 78 degrees. Good Luck girls
The big girls got fed today with Maxicrops fish and seaweed ferts, and a lil molasses. I'm sure there loving it.

Thanks for stopping by, should be a fun one to watch.
Your name will forever be associated to the carport-greenhouse in my mind. Great brainstorming on that 1 buddy. TMB

Hey Bob-
I don't want to sound stupid, but what is H202? I understand H20, but not H202, and explain how this will help? I'm hoping that this fits into the learn something new everyday category....... I just did a web search and found out what h202 is (learned that in 7th grade, guess i just smoked them brain cells away). We have about 5 gallons of water in the cloner, how much peroxide should we add? And thanks for the help, this cloner thing is my idea because we were having very little success the rock-wool/humidity dome technique. Making these fine tune adjustments is just part of the learning curve.
