The Hounds' Haze(y) New Grow Log

[Weedhound]

Out with the old and in with the new!!:jointsmile: T

The main theme for this grow is in the title. Haze and some strains and hybrids MIXED with Haze seem to be everywhere in our home these days and we sort of lost track of them all and the variations thereof.

Today I'm just going to include photos of the hazes and pick up the rest a bit later on.

In the veg area we're germinating two more Brainstorm (probably our last except for our own stash since the buzz is excellent) and 3 unsexed haze plants about a month old and one of Arjans strawberry haze (feminized) the same age. No idea how many of the straight "Haze" plants are females vs males......have to wait for the pre-flowers just like the old days. We mostly likely will NOT repeat growing unsexed seeds again.....space and time involved etc... Perhaps down the road a bit (post-chemo or ?) we'll try more unsexed seeds but for right now it's simply not practical. :cool:

[SAP420]

Man... ya'lls projects have been very fascinating lately and I must say I hope to be able to grow as well as you some day. I'm glad to see the hounds still in the saddle slap out some more herbs. I read your other post the other day in the redwood tree section and I feel you will beat this problem with your health. You are in my prayers and I'm in your corner to support in whatever way I can. Take care and I will be following this grow! :thumbsup:

[Puffzter]

Aooouuuu aoouuu!!!!
Go hounds GO!

Will follow this one as well. Natrually.
Make them grow into beautiful ladies and the best to you privatelly while that goes on guys.

[Weedhound]

Thanks SAP and Puff....got a few more going up today (pics that is) still in the "haze" side of the room.

Puffzter...I LOVE that avatar. :thumbsup:

[stinkyattic]

Are you doing dirt the whole way or are those meant to be cloned off?
This should be neat; Hazes are a lot of work [read: BIG] but rewarding.

[Weedhound]

Yes soil for those gals......Even purchased some 10 gal pots in case it gets to that stage.

I love so many different varieties of Haze that we felt we HAD to try the original.

Most likely it will be a one time Stinkster......they take forever to flower so doubt we'll clone.

[Weedhound]

Looks like I forgot to mention pic one......sorry for confusing everyone.

First pic: Two snl x nh about 4 weeks old.
Pic Two: Three straight haze plants and one short Arjans Strawberry Haze in dirt.
3. A very silly picture of some rapid rooters that I must have been pretty stoned to put up lol!!

We're sticking two brainstorms in the other hydro buckets so everythings these days in the veg area has some sort of Haze in it. Scary.......:D

[SnSstealth]

Just found this one....subscribed!!! Great strains to be working on...
whiskeytango

[Weedhound]

Now not EVERYTHING in the bloom room is Haze related.....but close enough for government work.

These three pics are all Sour Northern Lights X Neville's Haze........the difference between the first big happy plant and the second, darker LESSER plant is junk genetics we think.......one looks terrific and the other just sort of blah.....

In the third photo you can see the size difference easily between them......same birthdate, same set of seeds etc etc....

And in fact SINCE that photo was taken of both plants I had to move Curly (the weird one) and give the entire damn back to Biggie who has already spread out and made herself quite comfortable for blooming. :cool:

[Weedhound]

No worries Steallth I started this thread last night and will also put a link up to it my Redwood tree thread. ;)

[Puffzter]

I am going to grow these later this winter.
YouTube - Green House Seed Co. Arjan's Haze#3 Grow w/Italian Subtitles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLGjqmDeKWw)
Arjans Haze #3.
They bred the shortest growing Sativa in the world in that genetics I believe.
Seems like a cool plant and a nice smoke.

Puffzter

[Weedhound]

White widow about to days in bloom. We'll see if we can improve her yield this time by being more vigilant with the nutes as we've begun to slack on that a bit again and it sure doesn't take long to start affecting the hydro stuff. Keeping written records has helped us tremendously......these days we have trouble keeping our heads screwed on. :stoned:

Last photo is the entire bloom section of the room......we have three Power Plants, 2 ak -47's and a Nexus in a five gallon bucket as well.

[Weedhound]

Puff I've become a pretty big fan of the one Arjan's Haze I've tried....the Strawberry. My only issue with haze related stuff is that it generally takes a bit longer to finish....(but not always!) and usually the yield is not anywhere near what a "commercial" strain would put out for the same lighting, nutes etc(but again.....not always) but its the "stone" that simply cannot be beat imo.

[Puffzter]

yeah I heard that too.
I am getting a fat assed joint of Haze this weekend from a friend bringing it straight from Amsterdam so soon I will know. :rastasmoke:

As for yeild and grow time it's not a problem for me anyway. I can get a years supply in one-two grows easy as I am not a big smoker nor a pusher and I don't hang with anyone that smokes so I want quality and some different strains to choose from in my Stack and what goes bad because of age I will simply flush.
The growing itself is 80% of the reason I grow and the rest is a reward of high class grass. :)

Puffzter

[Weedhound]

Then you'll like the hazes for sure!! They DONT disapoint in the buzz department! ;)

[Shovelhandle]

Big Weedhound fan here. Ready for another wonderful thread. I've got four Neville's Haze going now too, so watching the feeding details closely.

Best of luck Weedhounds!

WH, you and your grows are looking as beautiful as ever. I don't know how you keep up with all of those fantastic grows, and I know each one of them brings you joy. Mine do, and they're beat up as all get out! Yours are lush and green, buds popping here and there. You are an artist. I hope and pray all is well with you and yours.

hey there Hound
Really glad to hear how much u like the ASH.
I cant wait to taste mine. The strawberry scent is amazing!!
hopefully be harvesting in about 2-3 wks.

and ive got 3 clones going too, already in flower:D

and started 5 SNLxNH, and 2 WW:D

[painretreat]

Looking good! subscribed! PR :thumbsup:

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

I'm on board. Like WH said, you really can't beat a haze high. Uplifting and fairly stoned for a good 3-4 hours off a nice jay of good haze. I love playing hockey and watching comedies lol.

subscribed* and will be waiting to see those ak-47s finish as well :thumbsup:

gmorning :jointsmile:

[Weedhound]

I see everyone has found the new log.....welcome all!! :)

Rock the ASH is wonderful.....I'm growing one in soil now just because I can't bear to be without one. Glad to see you're still plowing and toiling the greenery too.
:thumbsup:

I DO love the haze high Mr GM....you've pinned it perfectly and because haze mixes so nicely with so many different strains there are so many options as well!

And yep......we love get super stoned and watch a good comedy on tv thaat leaves us rolling on the floor with laughter.......you can't beat that kind of a day can you? :D

[d4twamp]

I agree nothin like good comedy and good herbs

Right now we don't have anything super exciting (read: neat photos) but hope to soon so check back. :)

[Weedhound]

and d4.....

I keep forgetting to answer this question for you.....flowering time on the SNL x NH is about 8-9 weeks. ;)

[d4twamp]

me likey:thumbsup:

[MVP]

Hey Hound, I'm lurking around here and checking out your stuff as usual....

[Weedhound]

Did you get my last email? I think so.......you got any photos of your Domina that you grew?

[Weedhound]

We're calling them Ike and Curly......dont ask about Ike but Curly was the runt that for some reason in bloom has decided to straighten out and fly right.........far too late for a huge yield but we appreciate her trying to hang in with "big sis"

I see no signs of an elbow here.......I honestly think I was seeing elbows EVERYWHERE :stoned::stoned::stoned::stoned: and so have stopped looking for them and just concentrate on good, healthy, happy, HIGH YIELDING plants with no appendages to measure against...........:D :jointsmile:

[d4twamp]

B-E-A-UTIFUL job nonetheless...wouldn't kick either sister outta bed... I'd gladly make a whole harem outta them, runts or not...

D

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

nice work hound, those girls look wonderful. I've never had a huge yield with any haze unless it's 7ft tall :D but those look healthy. hope you get more than you're expecting.

[Weedhound]

So I got a CAT scan the other day to see any changes in my cancer. My doctor tells me that both my tumors have shrunk MORE THAN 50% between the two cycles of chemo I have undergone!!

:clap: :clap::clap:

:dance::dance::dance:

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

[stinkyattic]

That is truly outstanding news and good news means good cheer, and good cheer means good health!
Plus your plants look fucking excellent. You have much to be pleased with!

[Weedhound]

Thanks you guys......even my cancer doc was kind of excited about it so he called me asap with the results.

I can't say for one hundred percent certain.....but I honestly feel that cannabis has played a role in my recovery here.....both mentally and I attribute the fact that I have very little nausea from my chemo to my cannabis use.

VAPE PEOPLE!! OR eat....or tincture....or.......;)

I think it is also karma you have earned over the years coming back to you!

am i psychic,,,,or just a psycho???:wtf:

[Shovelhandle]

that's wonderfu to hear, Weeds!

[Weedhound]

We were both quite jazzed ourselves!! :D

Rock are you still growing ASH? Here's one we did in soil.....first pic.....and we need to turn her......soon..... Do you have a smoke report on your ASH yet?

Second pic is more of the SNL x NH......another set of them we need to turn soon. Again......one nice healthy one and one funky-curly girl. This one isn't as runty as the last one but still has the odd and irregular growing pattern that I'm seeing with these third generation seeds. :wtf:

[hydrocannabis]

looken great there. and I am deff thinking that I need to start only growing plants that have more indica in them so I can get more compact buds.

on the other hand I love the buzz that a sativa gives off. but don't a sativas airy buds and there long flowering time.

and it really sucks that I can only use bagseeds. I do try to get dank bagseeds but that gets kind of hard cuz most dank I get doesn't have any seeds. which is a great thing but I would like to fine atleast 1-3 seeds out of an 8th of dank nugs.

so I have to wate till I can find the time and save some money to amsterdam and comeback with some to try.:D

have a goodone houndie hound.

[lunarose]

Wh,

Beautiful grow! I ordered some lowryder seeds to try growing inside so I plan on watching your grow closely. That is wonderful news about your tumors. You are going to beat this yet.

[Rock.Steady]

WH, yes, the FIRST ASH is still growin. some samples were taken and fairly impressed. will likely take down this weekend.

i had 2 new and dramatic issues this round: too much heat and lack of nutes.:wtf:

now, I think the leafs bleaching may have been a sign of a lack of N in my soil.
a few weeks ago, went out and got the full spectrum of FoxFarms nutes, the liquids and the crystal boosters. Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, Open Sesame, Beastie Blooms and ChaChing. I am following their feeding schedule, but reducing strength slightly. am also using the LL at 1/2 strength with no ill effects.

see my new combo log (in sig line) for a couple pics.
mine are nowhere near as nice as yours.:(

on a brighter note, the new girls are coming along verrry nicely.
will have to turn them fairly soon.

[d4twamp]

WH, great news from the doc hope you kick those tumors ass's all the way out of you. I'll still be praying for you along with the rest of the c-dot community..
btw the plants look good too..

congratulations man. that's just splendid news. stay positive, i'm sure after another couple cycles you'll be good as new. Just like those plants lol. nice work, i'll be watchin out



morning

[Shovelhandle]

Um, really interesting kinds you've got there. I bet they're gonna be bitchin'. They are bigguns!

[jakezking]

WH, what a great start to my week with your great news - I can only imagine how it must have lifted you since it lifted me clear off my seat! I had a feeling about you - your positive energy flowed through this board, and with the others I have seen beat the stew out of the big C, the strong similarity was in their happiness and positive energy and attitude, along with so many positive and prayerful people surrounding them. FANTASTIC NEWS, beautiful lady! Keep on punchin' until big C is knocked clear out of the coliseum and not just out of the ring.

I came into your log seeking some serious snaps of huge buds, and I am walking away with a smile on my face because of your great news. I also have to heap on more praise for all of your fantastic plants - they all look remarkably beautiful, as always!

My best to you and Mr. WH. Y'all keep up the love, joy, and happiness! And, thanks again for sharing your great news with us all here!

[Weedhound]

Pic one is the two newest ones we turned on 10/4 so they are only a few days into 12/12 and seem quite happy so far. They are on 1300ppm and we are raising the number pretty quickly....so far with no adverse effects.

Second and third are Ike and Curly....Day 55 Bloom. They still appear to have a few weeks to go.....not a brown pistil anywhere on either of them although the trichs are starting to get cloudy. These two are up to 1950 ppms (hanna @ 700 conversion) and pretty much have been for the last month or so.

More pics later today....we have some errands to run. These two are the farthest along in the grow room so don't wait around expecting a bunch of bud porn. :D :wtf:

[d4twamp]

WH how long did those 2 big girls veg for..And did you say they were all SNLxNH...what size net pots do use use in dem der buckets...btw your bunch of lovely green ladies look soooooo lovely...

Hi D4.....I seem to be having trouble with some of my subscribed threads; they are not showing up when people post on them.....anyone else having this issue?

Yes, they are all SNLx NH....F3 generation which is the only kind I have.....a gift from a fellow grower. :thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

I just went back and checked.....both these plants were germinated on 6/21/08 and turned on 8/16/08.

I'm using 8 inch net pots for the plants. Ten inch seemed too big and 6 too small.

I have to say this though: I have completely revamped ALL my growing supplies....., vegged the plants for at LEAST six weeks increased nutes and lighting, gone to larger resevoirs and larger net pots, increased aeration and ventilation to my plants and so far have not had one single plant or grow be an improvement over my old style of growing.

I CAN honestly say I have less problems DURING the grow........but so far certainly not a bit of improvement AT THE END OF THE GROW despite everything Mr Hound and I have put into our grow area and equipment. Rather depressing all in all to see that all that hard work and $$ spent haven't really helped in the end..........

[Weedhound]

We've just decided we're not clone people and don't really like yield we've gotten from the clones we've tried so far so we're pretty much in this with seedlings (feminized 90% of the time) from here on out.

THAT BEING SAID: Here are our last three clone plants. The first is a Master Kush from a branch I broke off the original plant and the other two are Power Plant clones. We have been using a regimen of watering with nutes at ppms of about 900 (including supplements) at a ph of about 6.4 to water and water them with this three times or so in a row then once with regular water. Can't really say I see an improvement with that type of watering over using ....say....1500ppms in one watering and then reg water for a time or two but we've only just started trying the second way so will see how it works with a bit more time to try it.

[Weedhound]

Pic one is a Haze female turned about 2 weeks ago. This was the only female out of the original three seeds we started but I'm not really surprised.....the conditions for them were somewhat rough as they got both overnuted and rootbound during their grow so I personally think that's the main reason we ended up with two males and only one female.

Pic 2: Arjans Strawberry Haze in soil. Greenhouse recommended soil growing for this strain so we thought we'd give it a go. She's only about 10 days into 12/12 herself so no signs of budding or anything yet.

[SnSstealth]

Lookin gorgeous as usual weedy. I must be having the same issues with my subscriptions, I have to pull em up specifically, most of em dont show up "new." Seems all threads have slowed down alot too...I am almost talking to myself in a few of mine....lol

[daihashi]

My god you're busy as usual. I've been so cooped up with my crappy internet connection (new neighbor won't move his dog inside so the cable man can hook up my TV/Internet/Phone) that I haven't had a chance to try to keep up with log, but your plants look stunning and I'm exciting after seeing what I have to look forward to with the SNLxNH.

I will also be starting up a Master Kush, PPP and probably a white widow soon to mother and LST the heck out of. I want to take plenty of cuttings.

I'll be tuned in. This grow is looking pretty great.

:thumbsup:

[xweefernationx]

Great grow homie

[seattlesmoke247]

Good job very interesting log!!!

[Weedhound]

First....I got an ultrasound done last Friday (for anyone who doesnt know it uses ultrasound waves to look at your organs) a bit different from a cat scan. The ultrasound report came back normal......they could not find my liver tumor at ALL (although there must be parts of of it somewhere) but this was QUITE good news although a bit scary because the the ultrasound tech kept looking at things and I thought he was going to tell me something terrible. But it was GREAT news! Even my cancer doc was smiling about it and he's a tough one to please!! :cool:

That aside: we took down the Master Kush yesterday but have several new Master Kush babies just starting in the hydro setup along with the Brainstorms which are now about a month old and have been topped twice in a losing effort to keep them short.

Also started a couple more dirt F3 generation seeds from a friend......Two whiteberry, a Church, a White Rhino and two Dutch Dragons. These seeds came from a grow that hermied but the only plant the grower SAW actualy hermie was a Power Plant so ALL THESE different seeds MAY BE mixed with PP,.......we just won't know until they grow out. So far the two whiteberry's and one church we have both have big wide leaves (unlike the Power Plant) and are growing like mad under the T5's (also unlike the PP which always seemed to give us issues) but we certainly won't mind either way because this is just different strains for us folks here at home to play with. We also painted (and repainted) flat white on the plexiglass surrounding the vegging plants and we can see that its more efficient lightwise compared to the clear stuff and has imiproved the plants in general.

Ike and Curly are starting to get close. We will have to start flushing them pretty soon. They are starting to take on a fairly "gooey" look.

I'll try to grab some photos of the vegging stuff later........it's VERY hard to close ups of Ike and Curly......they're in the back and the bloom room is pretty crammed.

on a side note.. tell Ike and Curly to hurry up. I want to see what their finished naughty parts look like :stoned:

[SnSstealth]

Awesome fuckin news Weedy!!!!! Wouldnt mind seeing a finishing SNLxNH..wink wink. Interested to see how those mystery mixs turn out!
whiskeytango

[Weedhound]

Pic one is a Brainstorm in soil (just wanted to try one) and the newest babies.......2 Dutch Dragons and a White Rhino. Only two of our four DD's and one of our two White Rhinos hatched....but once they did pop seem to do fine. :)

Pic 2 is one of the WhiteBerry (left and front) and the Church. There is another Whiteberry but we already turned it. These two we topped a second time and are letting them go a bit longer under the T5s. So far we see nothing to indicate any sort of Power Plant lineage in any of the soil stuff we've germinated. :jointsmile:

Last pic is the hydro area. There are two 30-ish day old Brainstorms in the back and two 2 week old Master Kush seedlings in the front. Everything in the hydro section is store bought seed.......we want the stability we can count on in better bred genetics for the hydro grows. ;)

[Rock.Steady]

Great News (your scan) Weedy!

and some dam fine work you 2 are doing in the multi-grows:thumbsup:

keep up the good work!

[oSecretGardeno]

Hey Hound,

This grow looks amazing. Those are some tasty looking nugs! I can't wait to see the final product.

I just had to comment and say congrats on all the good news! I have a lot of cancer in my family and it was always so wonderful to get good news.

Keep on truckin' WH.

Peace

:smokin:

[Weedhound]

oSecret,

Thanks for stopping by the log and your kind comments. Let me say that I'm sorry to hear about your family history and cancer has a way of sneaking in before it takes over not only your life, but those who care about you and have watch it happen as well.
I lost my mom to cancer back in 1989 so I empathhize with your situation.

Best of luck to you and yours,

Wh

[Weedhound]

but I'm f*#&@* Ike and Curly. :eek:

Actually he already knows because he had to carry all the water. :D

We are finally getting close and have turned to straight water.....(OPIE :wtf:) for the finish I believe Curly is slightly ahead of Ike but I would say that at least one will be coming down within a week and possibly both.
We refuse to say anything about body parts......but neither of these girls is lacking a bit so it will be a nice amount when all is said and done.

[Weedhound]

I believe we have found the source of the issue with yield!! The answer (we STRONGLY think) is in the drip rings and the fact that as we moved more and more plants into the room with less and less electrical I decided to stop using the drip rings during blooms and switched over to straight DWC rather than an NFT/DWC combo. We've also been running them as a recirculating system as well the enitre time and we didn't really see much difference with the recirculating part as we had hoped too either. We've been wondering about this for awhile and had suspected the drips rings might be the issue but could not run the rings in the larger buckets (leaks) and we were plain out of electrical outlets to boot so we figured since recirculating DWC was a time honored technique it shouldn't make too much difference.

Well NOW we think it does. :wtf: We've added lighting, extra nutes, space and everything else we can think of only to get lesser yields each grow.

We finally added another extension cord (rated for 1875 watts but only running air pumps which are running drip rings) and we can see a difference in the plants we think already.

PS....Because this was something we've been struggling with for awhile we decided....and were able...to keep the drip rings running for the entire grow for Ike and Curly and this is the main reason I think we will see a difference in the yield at the end of their grow.

Think sticky thoughts!!

[d4twamp]

WH, I'm so happy to hear the good news about your ultrasound,THE SCORE IS_ Mrs. Hound - 1 the big C - 0....nice job....Btw the plants look great to... I can't wait to get things running over here again...I'll be tuned in for the show, same channel same time...

D:jointsmile:

[Shovelhandle]

You folks have a lot of beautiful different plants growing. How's that big ASH doing? It was looking wonderful. How about SNL x NH? or the other Haze? I can not keep track of your shit at all. :hippy:

[Shovelhandle]

to hear about some better health reports. :thumbsup:

Positive vibrations and love,

Shov

[Weedhound]

Curly of course, is looking a little different these days......

She did not take us long to trim.......she was pretty much ALL bud......much more dense than ANYTHING we've harvested in awhile.

I personally am sure now, that the answer is in the drip rings/nft. Even the plants that we had stopped the drip rings did IMMEDIATELY better when we them back on compared to straight DWC.

Ike will come down in a few days. She still has a bit to go. We won't be looking at a pound from either of these plants......but it is possible we MAY (key word: MAY) come up with a pound between the two of them.

I wil try for some bud porn a bit later. ;)

[WhiskeyTango]

Lovely, lovely ganj there weedy. I get to get back in the big yield game now!!!! woooot!!!!!!!
:smokebong:

[Weedhound]

Sour Norther Lights x Neville's Haze/Day 21 Bloom.

We dumped the other SNL x NH after I brilliantly dropped it and messed up all the root so this girl is the only one left.

As you can see her stem is split straight down the middle. This is my fault and also that the bloom room is pretty crammed. Both Curly and Ike have taken longer than expected.......I seem to remember harvesting the same strain at about 9 weeks last time and one of the plant's was a personal record yield.

ANYWAY......up for names....we're fresh out. :D

[Weedhound]

Lovely, lovely ganj there weedy. I get to get back in the big yield game now!!!! woooot!!!!!!!
:smokebong:

Thanks WT. :) I really love growing huge plants vs many smaller ones. Are you thinking at all of going hydro or coco?

[WhiskeyTango]

Staying duuuurty for now, But doing all my DWC research now:greenthumb:
http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/164484-whiskeytangos-boom-boom-room.html
Sorry for the jack weedy!:hippy:

[Weedhound]

Here's a few more.

Pic one is our ASH and she's doing terrific. We put both her and the remaining Haze plant into 10 gallon tubs with FFOF because I'm just not sure how to go about fertilizing these plants. I definitely remember the ASH going VERY light on the nutes in hydro but Greenhouse says this plant can be a good yielder so we thought we'd try one in soil and just see what it does.

Straight Haze in pic two we've been struggling with. She's really been droopy since transplanting her into the ten gallon tub and I can't tell if the issue is overfert (we haven't fed her any nutes......just the FFOF said that she seemed to do well with before) or over/under water. Thoughts? She IS still growing (can't even fit the whole her into the pic) and is about 6 feet tall at this point. There ARE buds forming........slowly..... but quite a lot of budsites so we'd LOVE to pinpoint the actual issue and fix it.

Pic 3 is White Widow at Day 51 Bloom. Again this is a plant that started out doing extremely well in bloom and then fizzled when I stopped using the drip ring. Since putting the drip ring back on (it was off for about a month) made an immediate difference but our window for dense growing had closed by the time I started the drip rings back up and it definitely cost us..

[xcrispi]

WOW Sis ,
You got a jungle there . Keep up the good work .
Did you make the drip rings smaller on the net pots yet ?
Curious if it helped .
G/B
Crispi :stoned:

[Shovelhandle]

How long are those last three plants have left to go?

[Weedhound]

Thanks Shov. :) We just today put the White Widow on straight water so no more than a week for her I think. Both the Haze and Strawberry Haze are pretty early in bloom....something like 3 weeks or so. The Haze is supposed to take 16 weeks to flower and the ASH runs a bit longer than normal too. We have them pushed into a corner and they ain't moving until they either die or finish.

XC, We clipped some on a few and it helped somewhat but I'm also drilling little gullies on the sides of the net pot because the part that leaks is where the entire drip ring connects to itself........if that makes any sense.

Between the drilled gullies and the smaller drip rings (we ARE going to make them all shorter) we hope to have the leaking issues fixed and can get back to better yields than we have been getting.

Thanks for the tip btw......NEVER would have thought of that one myself. :)

[Chronisseur]

Hey Weedhound! Have you gotten any of my emails?
I'm currently on the move as always, but I wanted to stop in say high and make sure ya know I've been trying to get ahold of ya, I just have very limited computer access still.

Gots to go, but I hope to hear from ya soon! :)


BTW; MY addy looks something like this: #.future@(your same domain).com

....if that helps any...:D

[Weedhound]

Oh good god Chron I'll never figure that out...I can't get past two plus two. :D

Check your reps...make sure you have it correctly.......I haven't received anything from you in emails. :(

Hope things are good with you.....doing well here. :)

[Weedhound]

So I was working with the plants and couldn't resist.

This really is an impressive plant even if I do say so myself. She has at least 2 BANANA sized colas in the back that you can't even see and even from a side angle you can tell she just growing bud all the way through. Her colas are so heavy she's just about touching the floor.

[d4twamp]

Nice.. trunk on that tree my lady...

[Weedhound]

I'm off to try for some bud shots.........:D

Thanks D4.......but Carrries is even bigger and she's only 3 weeks in. ;)

[WhiskeyTango]

Jesus weedy...you got thar some monsters...whats Ikes pedigree again? SNLxNH?
I too shall have bigguns soon....(generic evil laugh)

[Weedhound]

Yes WT, both Ike and Curly are SNL x NH.

Here are few trich shots.....I apologize already because I just don't seem to do these well. These are all photos of the top of a Curly bud.

Pics one and two are taken regular macro
Pics three and four are taken at 4 x zoom.

Ike still has a few days imo......but is very close and so is the White Widow we've been growing. I'd wager they'll both be down by the end of the week
and as soon as they are gone we are putting two new brainstorms into 5 gal buckets and sticking them in the bloom room. Let me see if I can find a recent photo of the brainstorms .......they've already been topped THREE seperate times and the buckets are on the floor because they're just too big already.

[daihashi]

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Is it possible to feel sexually attracted to a plant?

If this is what I have to look forward to then I am fully planning ahead of time to have an orgy with all 7-8 of my ladies once harvest comes along :hippy:

[Weedhound]

She's nothing to sneeze at I agree. This strain remains one of my top favorites in all catagories but wait till you feel her buzz!! ;)

[daihashi]

She's nothing to sneeze at I agree. This strain remains one of my top favorites in all catagories but wait till you feel her buzz!! ;)

I'll be fantasizing about her from here on out.... now I just have to find some sexy lingerie for her to wear for the occassion :pimp:

[zebulon]

Looks super yummy, nice work Wh.....:thumbsup: When will you take down Ike?

[WhiskeyTango]

She's nothing to sneeze at I agree. This strain remains one of my top favorites in all catagories but wait till you feel her buzz!! ;)

Eh.....looks like Ima plant the rest of the seeds and give em another go...lol

[Weedhound]

Hey Zeb,

thanks for stopping by. :) Ike will gone from the bloom room within a week and I'm pretty sure the other ones we grew went about nine weeks and Ike is on day 71 if I'm counting correctly......won't hurt her to go a few more.

She won't be a record yield I don't believe.....but she is a hefty mamma all the same.

I've started to have eyes for Carrie....she seems like a large plant and has tons of great budsites starting. So does the Haze for that matter......but that one is still droopi-ish.
Starting to think overwatering but am not sure yet.

[d4twamp]

I agree w/ the rest of the bunch WH the ladies are lookin damn good...I too will be fantasizing of the day I'll be cracking some SNLxNH beans and making a Mommy of the best of the bunch...:jumphappy:

[Weedhound]

X-Crispi mentioned to me the other day he thought the SNL x NH beans were making more rounds than the town whore LOL!!

He's probably right too. :D

[danish]

PROPS! is there coming any pictures of those supposed "monster plants" ?

[Weedhound]

Hi Danish,

Thanks for stopping by......back up a page or two for some photos. Hope you enjoy :)

[Weedhound]

Came in at 108 grams.....just shy of four oz. Not bad for consdering she looked like this at one point. (she's the runt....Ike on the other side.) We are taking down the White Widow today (day 53 or 54 ?) and still watching Ike. We need to move the brainstorms VERY soon......they're huge.

[zebulon]

Came in at 108 grams.....just shy of four oz.

Cool, that is some nice amount....you did it again WH, despite various problems...really inspiring.....:jointsmile:
What do you think, will Ike yield more ?? and will this WW yield more than the previous widows??
And if possible, please tell about the recent plants, which can be best used for medicinal purposes??

[xcrispi]

X-Crispi mentioned to me the other day he thought the SNL x NH beans were making more rounds than the town whore LOL!!

He's probably right too. :D

"Being passed around like the town whore" To be exact .

It was $19.95 well spent guys . :thumbsup::D

Nice trich pics Sis .

Crispi :stoned:

[Weedhound]

Hey XC,

Sorry for getting that wrong . :D I need to learn my whore phrases better. Your idea about cutting the rings shorter....plus taping off the first hole in each side of the rings has worked great so far! No leaking and I can leave my drip rings on! NOW WE"RE GOING TO SEE SOME GROWING!!

Zeb, the white widow was not any sort of record :( and I won't be growing her again but she did leaves us with approx 2-3 gooz oz and a LOT of immature buds and trim which will make their way into our capsules and cookies so we are not unhappy. All very sticky stuff......she was definitely a WHITE widow.

We also took down a power plant that was at day 55 or something.....just wanted it gone....that one is a soil plant that looks as though it will give us a litttle bit over an ounce or so.

Moved the Brainstorms into the bloom room thank god......they were starting to take over the living room.

Ike will come down tomorrow for sure. Her ph is dropping from 5.8 to 5.1 daily.......which tells me her roots are dying off and it's time for the fat lady to sing. We have a drs appt today so it will have to be tomorrow......but its definitely time.

[Weedhound]

Hey Zeb,

What kind of medical purposes are you looking for? Different strains treat different things so what did you want the stuff to do? Block pain? Relieve anxiety? Stinky has great list around somewhere.....

[dragonfly2dream]

Out with the old and in with the new!!:jointsmile: T

The main theme for this grow is in the title. Haze and some strains and hybrids MIXED with Haze seem to be everywhere in our home these days and we sort of lost track of them all and the variations thereof.

Today I'm just going to include photos of the hazes and pick up the rest a bit later on.

In the veg area we're germinating two more Brainstorm (probably our last except for our own stash since the buzz is excellent) and 3 unsexed haze plants about a month old and one of Arjans strawberry haze (feminized) the same age. No idea how many of the straight "Haze" plants are females vs males......have to wait for the pre-flowers just like the old days. We mostly likely will NOT repeat growing unsexed seeds again.....space and time involved etc... Perhaps down the road a bit (post-chemo or ?) we'll try more unsexed seeds but for right now it's simply not practical. :cool:
nice pics, thanks for the info on what worked for u, much appreciated, i am in the middle of trying different ways, and i will be keeping yours as one way to try, as always as soon as i figure out how to start things in this site i will share blogs and pics

[Weedhound]

She took us HOURS! :jointsmile:

She is definitely a "Hound Personal Best" yielder. She was absolutely massive; all the way through. I cannot say I see a pound there but I'm positive we are not looking at less than 10oz. Our previous personal best was also an SNL x NH at 9.3 oz. I feel very sure she will beat that.

Oh yeah; the difference is in the drip rings. :thumbsup:

Pic one is a typical bud from her.....first one Mr Hound trimmed. Pic two is the top off half.....still half of her still left "on the vine"' as it were so we were just getting started there. :stoned:

She fills up the entire first row and half the back row.......three times the amount the other two plants we are drying take up.

[Weedhound]

nice pics, thanks for the info on what worked for u, much appreciated, i am in the middle of trying different ways, and i will be keeping yours as one way to try, as always as soon as i figure out how to start things in this site i will share blogs and pics

Hi dragon...thanks for stopping by. As I mentioned.....I wish you the absolute best of luck with your grow. :)

[WhiskeyTango]

Jebus weedy!!!
:joint1:

[Weedhound]

Thanks WT, she really did turn out great......frosty and a hell of a yield. I'll try for some bud shots tomorrow.

[d4twamp]

Nice Harvest my lady...can't wait to pop mine too...

Well hurry up so we can all come over and "help out." :eek: :D :stoned:

Mine wills tart in 3 weeks also. Along next to some NE bubblegum....mmmmm cant wait for these two to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weedy, where is that thread you started about setting up a DWC?...ummm, my "friend" is interested, lol.....
:joint1:

[Weedhound]

Could you be more specific? Are you meaning my livestock buckets and how I set those up or if I am mistaken which ones exactly do you mean and I will find it for you. :)

[WhiskeyTango]

Didnt know there where more than one. Just remember a DIY with DWC. Thought there was something about gravity fed in it too..That help?

[Weedhound]

think I know the one you mean......brb.....

[Weedhound]

It's either page one of this one....

http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/151508-test-launch-operation-redwood-tree.html

or...if not this then I have one more thread that I talk about making DIY stuff.....hang on....

[Weedhound]

or this one....

http://boards.cannabis.com/hydroponics/155833-gh-waterfarm-users-simple-recirculating-system.html

but probably in the first link I'm thinking.

If we EVER DO get a pound a plant (no C02....I'm so jealous WT) it will be from Carrie.....who is pretty enormous at this point and has plenty of light, a recirculating nute system AND A DRIP RING! ;) Everything in hydro from here on out gets a drip ring running 24/7......no if, ands or buts about it!
! :wtf:

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

hound, that looks like a wonderful harvest. you should be rolling around in nuggets soon enough :baggy: will there be a smoke report in the future? :jointsmile:

very nice work on those girls big guy...it's gonna be a happy thanks giving
hope all is well.

-mgm

[Weedhound]

Thanks Mr GM, we are quite happy with her.......she was larger than even I expected (and I can expect a LOT :D) and feel pretty certain we've found the "piece" we've been missing in terms of our growing regimen and the issue of yield. :)

[WhiskeyTango]

LOL weedy! Im goin for the elbow single plant starting in a few weeks. Hoping to be a SNLxNH:grrenthumb: You got me al excited about the buzz from it, lol...
:joint1:

[Weedhound]

I think she will do this for you without too much problem especially with your new lighting, C02 etc. Even I'm excited to see what C02 will do to her. :dance:

[d4twamp]

Yeah wut she said

And thanks for the thumbs up. We really are happy with Ike....she's the proof I needed to correct some of my growing errors. I have another SNL x NH....let me see if I can find a pic......

Hatch!! Thanks for stopping by my man.....hope your ganja is growing well for you. :) :thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

Still struggling with the bud shots.

Taking FOREVER to dry because of our rainy weather these days. :wtf: Watching the shrinkage......groan.....But I'm denifitely still betting on 10 oz. We'll know in a couple days.

Seriously Carrie starts with TWICE the "bone structure" of Ike, has her own reciirculating system; has replaced Ike directly under the 400w and of COURSE HER own 24/7 running drip ring. Let's see what she does.

[WhiskeyTango]

mmmmmmm..lookin luscious weedy

[d4twamp]

Damn Carrie is definitely gonna be a biggun...impressive Hounds'

[Shovelhandle]

She should take OFF! She's a big un already!

[d4twamp]

WH I agree with Rock...and I too can't rep you yet:sadcrying but your grow pix inspire me and make me:jumphappy:...keep it up

[Weedhound]

Thanks alot you guys.....love the positive feedback. (except I'm still not sure about Rock.....:D)

Well two bits of news regarding my medical condition.

1. The latest cat scan can find NO sign of the original tumors in my chest...save for something they believe is a fluid filled liver cyst and not related to my cancer. In other words....the chemo is, and has been working EXCELLENTLY in my case. My doctor spoke to me today about the possibility of a break in my chemotherapy. And it's the very first time we have EVER heard him talk about a future as though I will actually have one. Apparently the numbers for such a great response are very small so we feel even MORE positive about it these days. :) :thumbsup:

ROCK ON!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

2. Mr Hound is taking me in for a blood transfusion tomorrow so I won't be around for the day. The anemia has gotten too low and is affecting my heart rate and since the insurance company won't pay for ProCrit injections this is the next step. I'm told I'll feel "like a whole new person" after they transfuse 2 units so it's really a good thing.

We talked to the doc today about "post chemo" plan. It feels amazing even to say those words. We will do the blood transfusion and then two more chemos (totaling six). Then he will do a PET scan (bit different from CAT scan and don't ask me how because we do not use that type of scan in animals.) The PET scan will tell him if there are any more cancer cells remaining in my body. There is actually a possiblity that the cancer will gone from my body completely. A CHANCE. I find this amazing.

We are not by ANY means talking "cure." But my doctors ARE beginning to use words like "remission" and what kind of treatments, exams etc they would do if I were to continue along the same line with the same excellent results we've been getting so far.

There is absolutely NO way to know if/when it will come back.....BUT.....just for today........we have kicked it's butt. And that feels pretty good. :) :)

This is fantastic!! for you to have had such a great response to the chemo. Hopefully with regular checkups you can force it back into remission even if it isn't permanently gone from your body.

This is great news! I bet that felt like a big weight lifted off you hearing your doctor talk like that.

Hatch.....you're just a nut.....but a fine nut indeed :D

Dai....thanks......you're right that it may never be gone......but at least these days I feel I have weapons to fight with and yes, we are VERY pleased with the news.

Shov.....After the transfusion, although I was still tired, I could both take a big HUGE gulp of air AND not faint at the same time. Seriously, what more could you ask for? :)

Last tidbit: We did NOT make 10oz on Ike. :(. Her final weight came out to 262 grams...9oz, 10 grams. :) So she IS a personal best (:thumbsup:) but missed ten by a few grams. I will have pics later. :)

Cancer-0 Weedhound-2

Fuckin go girl! Kick that shits ass!!!

[Weedhound]

Heh heh....thanks WT. Your statement about weed assisting cancer REALLY has me wondering if there was some sort of connection. And I still do wonder........There was an April 2007 study on cancers (NOT my type mind you) where mice were injected with large amounts of cannabis (and had already been injected with cancer cells) and they got approximately [B]50% more tumor shrinkage in the mice given the large amounts of cannabis during threatment.[B] Apparently the mice were stoned (stumbling around, munchies etc... ) so it would have to be a big dose.

AND.....from what I have read, certain compounds in cannabis can "block" certain receptors that have something to do with either the dividing cells or the blood supply to the tumor......don't have that one down 100%. I am simply PONTIFICATING here....:jointsmile:.....but I have wondered why....if say cannabis WERE part of the reason I responded so well to chemo.....why did it not prevent my tumors in the first place.

To further up on my stoned theory I came up with a couple thoughts. (that's amazing all by itself!! :D) They are 1. I eat/capsule several grams of cannabis daily. I do NOT smoke it......but I DO ingest it. ALOT as we all know. My point here is this.....I take big doses consistently. More than most people can smoke. I personally.....even if I had PERFECT lungs.......could not smoke the amount of cannabis daily that I can ingest when eating. So smoking it isn't enough of a dose......you must ingest a larger amount regularly.

2. My understanding is that THC itself is only one of many compounds in cannabis so perhaps it is NOT the cannaboid that blocks the receptors in question. (complete guess here) I know there have been many tests run with Marinol (pure thc) but what if that were NOT the actual cannaboid that was needed for blocking? What if it were one of the many OTHER cannaboids in the weed?

3. What if you need to use them in conjunction with standard chemo......they simply block certain receptors, which then allow the chemo meds to do their job more effectively. Does this at make sense to anyone?

Weezard if you read this....how much ganja do you ingest daily and how? Maybe I should start a thread asking..........

A million and one "what ifs"? But I find myself wondering..........all thoughts (even laughing at) welcome. :)

[WhiskeyTango]

Glad I can help weedy!!!!!! I did A LOT of research on cannabis and cancer. Call me crazy, but I FULLY believe it works. The mice reference you made is one of the examples I read. Granny has a lot of good info on her "list" thread probably. Ill find a link for ya.
Determination and a lil THC wi beat the bricks off of conventional government "medicine".

hey girl, I think you might have hit the nail on the head BOOM SMACK one shot....My Father in law used Marinol in the past for his M.S. it Didn't do as much for him as smoking...so What you've said about ingestion, I think is the big factor...Even though I'm not a doctor, I do play one on ....?....some things are better left unsaid....

I applaud you again for your victory...


FADE IN:

INT.OCTAGON CAGE.NIGHT

WEEDHOUND's Hand is raised by the referee, as the announcer YELLS out her name as the victor.

The doctors now tend to the fighter only known as the big C, who is still laid out unconscious.

The crowd and WEEDHOUND's corner cheer so loud untill...KABOOM the roof explodes, from what has to be the loudest applause in fighting history. The MGM GRAND is now topless like a convertible ragtop.

We back out of the cage, up through the hole that used to be the roof as WEEDHOUND yells...

WEEDHOUND

Victory is mine

Through the roof, up and over the bright lights of the Las Vegas strip we fly.

As the lights become farther away the distinct shape of cannabis leaves and flowers quickly overgrow the planet we call home...

And all is once again balanced in the Universe...


FADE OUT:


Sorry I get lost sometimes and forget where I am, I get in front of a keyboard and the screenwriter inside of me begins to manifest himself...lol...

Stay positive...and most of all stay YOU...

P.S. Nice job on Ike maybe she wasn't all you'd hoped for but it is your personal best so CONGRATS...Maybe She didn't like the boys name so she decided diet, so as to not be a redwood...Ike wasn't in that bloom room beating on Tina I mean Curly was she...lol...

D:thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

Aside from the issue of my own Swelled Head Syndrome.....the scene is fine. :D

I'm very sure we will be hearing more from the unconcious C.....but will take our ribbons and hold them loftily for now. We did the hard part.....we're damn well going to soak up the good parts as well. :) :thumbsup:

[Weezard]

Weezard if you read this....how much ganja do you ingest daily and how? Maybe I should start a thread asking..........

Dollink, of course I'm reading this.:)

Now, take a big gulp of fresh air, and do not faint.;)
Yes, that does feel good.:thumbsup:

That's why I turned down the chemo and the radiation after the surgery.
Well, to be accurate, the chemo is not an option, and the radiation can cause symptom that I won't even talk about in mixed company.
So, Ganja went from my bffl to my "clutching straw".
Always been a heavy smoker. 40+ years.
Nowadays, you could call me a weed hound.:D
I can't really give a number or amount, I have several grades of medication from my garden, including hash.
Basically, I start early with high grade buds and escalate from there. The phrase, "ripped to the tits" comes to mind.:stoned:
By 7 pm, I'm so baked, I can watch television!
Then I break out the good stuff!:stoned::stoned::stoned:
Basically, if I didn't grow, there's no way I could afford to do this.
Will it help? I sure as hell hope so.
If not, well, "the light was better over here", ya?:D

Weedy,
i'm definately diggin on your well thought out hypotheses and theories.
defiantely not far fetched.
eastern culture has utilized 1000s of plants for 1000s of years for medicinal purposes.
theres years of research that should have started decades ago.
unfortunately, the free thinkers arent usually in charge.

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

ike looks amazing hound, looks like you'll have some sticky medicine for a while :jointsmile: any figures on total harvest?

mgm

[Weedhound]

Could have made some clones but I discovered it too late.....whole branch was way wilted by the time I saw it. Oh well, no crying over spilled milk as they say.

Hey, Mr gm, Ike weighed in at 262 grams.....a personal best but short of the 10 oz we estimated......9 oz and 10 grams so preeettttty close. :D

Got chemo tomorrow people in case you guys don't see us around much for a few days. It's that time again. :cool:

[d4twamp]

Hope all is well and you and the Mr. take it as easy as you possibly can tomorrow...

Soon you'll see a D log with some SNLxNH(since everyone else is) & a lone MK...

They are germed and should sprout anytime..I'm gettin antsy waiting for them to pop outta the Oasis cubes they are in now...once they sprout from the cubes I'm gonna give them a dedicated grow log instead of the thread they are in now...anyways enough with my babbling...

D:D

Well that's a great weight if i say so myself, well done :thumbsup:. And def good luck to you and your other half...I feel good news is coming, hope all is well and everything works out in your favor.

mgm

[Shovelhandle]

Just so you can find your thread, Mrs. Hound.
Hope you are feeling well. :giveflower:

[Weedhound]

Done with chemo for a bit again, yay! Had a blood transfusion last week.....2 units....and the a special catheter placed (called a central line with port) a few days after that so my social schedule has just been AMAZING DAHLINGS.!! :D Feeling much better and less exhausted finally now. One more round of chemo then the check to see if any cancers cells are remaining......if there are then more chemo but we do what we have to do to keep everything in balance and the C at bay.

[Shovelhandle]

yeah!

[zebulon]

Good to hear you feel better, positive energy coming your way from Europe .....:hippy:

[d4twamp]

Grrrrreat news WH, One Love to you and the Mr....

[Rock.Steady]

Nice!:thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

She's doing GREAT! Starting to fatten up vs growing longer but she IS a large plant, no mistake. Drinks about a gallon a day in nutes.

Part of her is even growing past the lights as you can see in Pic 2.

She even has one totally funky bud growing upside down that's doing fine as well. (pic 3)

[Rock.Steady]

if it were on top, would that make it The Uncola????:wtf:

[Weedhound]

There IS a 666 spelled out in the leaves on that one cola......:wtf: :D

It will make a fine bit of cookie down the road, don't you think? Whats your opinion on the Strawberry Haze buzz? She remains my favorite I think and the smell is just wonderful even while she's just growing.

[dooobster]

Weedy, your plants are looking amazing.
'Tis a gorgeous jungle you have there!
Lovin' the pics... keep 'em comin'!!
Peace

[Rock.Steady]

altho my ASH was somewhat mutated, it was pretty dam good.
i'd like to give it another shot down the road, now that I figured out what went wrong during that grow:wtf:

i agree on the scent. once she started doing that, it was amazing.:D

[zebulon]

Wow Carrie looks so good, she is a Brainstorm right?

[WhiskeyTango]

Lookin good weedy! Going through HELL on my grow...gad someones looks pristine:greenthumb:

[hydrocannabis]

wow wow wow wow. that is 1 of the bigest plants I have ever seen.

1 Q I have is: so if part of the plant is growing past the light then how is that part gunna get any light to bud right?

but yah she is stunning to look at.:thumbsup:

[Rock.Steady]

i was wondering that too, until i thought about this: isn't it the leaves that need light for photosynthesis? if so, as long as plenty of leaf is in the light, it ought to be ok,,,,i guess:wtf:

only our lil Weedy would be the one to pose these particular issues:wtf:

what a terrible plight: plants growing bigger than you expected. hmmm:wtf:

[d4twamp]

Holy crap Carrie is huge...:thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

Thanks for the props guys. I do believe Carrie is the largerst plant we have grown to date. Sh'es been marching along wonderfully and just gets thicker and stickier every day. I think she will also take about 10 weeks to finish completely because of her size.

Zeb, she's an SNL x NH, one of my junk seeds. There were two originally but I dropped one and tore up all the roots so she's the only one left.....thank goodness really because I don't think we can fit two of these in the bloom space. We're having enough trouble as it is.

[Weedhound]

Hey hydro, (and Rock too)

This is a questiion we have also asked.....how well will these grow away from good lighting? All I can say here is that we will find out. The branches are too tall to bend successfully so we'll just watch and see. I have a feeling it will take some of the good solid weight away from the bud but it WIILL be a bud......just not great thick ones like the ones directly under the light. We'll find out by the end. :)

PS...We considered trimming her but want to see what the end weight will be so don't want to prune anything back. I certainly can't say she'd be an elbow or anything....but we WILL be interested in the final result. ;)

[Weedhound]

And don't forget....you're looking at the 400w right there.....there's another 1kw light 2 feet away from her as well and she IS reaping it's benefits! :thumbsup: :D

[Weezard]

Just wanted to say...glad to hear the news from the doc.

Been readin your thread and it looks awfully damned YUMMY!!!

Been working my butt off...haven't been on in like forever but wanted to say hi and keep up the magic hound!!!:thumbsup::hippy:

[Weedhound]

Hey Popa, long time no see......glad to see you back. :)

Wheeze...I would but if we were ever busted they'd count that thing and it probably weighs 8oz all by itself, lol.

Gonna take a pic of the bloom room and post it.....everything we are growing is out of control and we are completely out of space......stuff EVERYWHERE!!!

[Weedhound]

Well she ain't gettin' any smaller......:D

We're thinking maybe three more weeks......

[WhiskeyTango]

Jebus weedy! Carrie dwarfs Moses....lol (SWC sounding a looooot nicer:greenthumb:)

[Weedhound]

Well we came to a point where ALL our grow areas just became overcrowded. We had to make some decisions on what to do because we more plants than lighting areas and no where to put them. :( So we ended up harvesting our big original Haze plant (she was only about 2/3 done) and a few hybrids in soil we had been growing. It KILLS me to throw away perfectly good healthy plants but it was my poor planning that caused the issue in the first place so it's my own fault.

[Weedhound]

And finally manage to get at least a BIT of control back in the bloom room. :wtf: I sure was sorry to see that Haze plant go but as you can see there certainly wasn't a big yield coming from her anyway. :cool:

[Shovelhandle]

ya but lots of nice plants left yet. real nice 'uns! :thumbsup:

[jdsoil]

That's some nice looking ladies WH.

[PopaBean]

Very nice Hound.
Sorry to hear you had to put the axe to those momma's.

Looks very nice....

Funny, I sit here, read these threads and live vicariously through you guys.
:hippy::jointsmile:

[Weedhound]

Thanks WT, Shov, and Popa. And jd too.....thanks for stopping by the thread.

Well culling some stuff worked well......we just got too out of control for our best interests....which reminds me to say that Carrie will probably be our last "huge plant" for awhile. It's a total blast to aim for something and have fun working to accomplishi it but we need the space for more practical growing these days, boring as that is. So Carrie most likely will be our last "really big" plant........our last aim for greatness. :D

[d4twamp]

Hey Weedy, IMHO I think if growing trees or a redwood per se, vertical HPS is the closest way of replicating sunlight....I'd actually like to try dabbling in a vertical w/ overhead HPS grow op, to catch that elusive redwood...someday...

Anyways you and the Mr. have got some beautiful plants and some even better skills to boot...nothin' but good vibes from Deez neck o' the woods to you and yours....

[xcrispi]

Finally back on here a lil bit now thanx to you :)
If everything heals ok I oughta be fine in 12-16 weeks . See the ortho on Dec. 4th , J should be pullin the stitches out any day now .
We appreciate everything .
God Bless Ss .

Hey xxx, good to see you......another long time no see! Hope you and your family (say hi to princess for me) are doing well. :)

[Weedhound]

You know d4, that's one of the things I love about the cool tube.....you can turn it any which way to get the light where you want it as long as you have room for the ducting. Get a LOT more light with that than a standard air cooled hood imo.

[Weedhound]

This strain is in many ways my favorite.....if she would just put out the same kind of yield as the SNL x NH I'd declare her best in show. She has a lovely, LOVELY strawberry smell as she grows and a super buzz.....both head and body. :thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

These girls have done very well since the start and we've done something a bit different with them in that we have topped them several times starting at an earlier age than we were doing. This is something I used to do quite a while back then forgot about......but wish try it at least once to see if we can improve somehow on the many branches we break off due to LSTing. I think both these girls have been topped on three seperate occasions.....hang on; I'll check germ date.......

They were germed from seed on 9/27 so pretty close to two months old. Hopefully they will do their usual nice yielding thing. We've always gotten a pretty good yield from our MK's.....except one that finished in something like 47 days but this is from a different batch. They are, however, not my usual F3 gen seeds :eek: but some actual seed vendor seeds that should be pretty stable. :cool:

Nice.. my master kush mom has been delayed from potential cloning.. or I should say I may have to Clone this mom early to make another one. I let her get all stretched out and lanky.

I'll be watching your MK grow since that's one I'm wanting to grow a bit of in the near future. :hippy:

I'm eagerly awaiting to chop down my SNLxNH especially after seeing your yields. Were the buds pretty dense after it dried or is it more of a light and fluffy? So far it appears to me that the buds are going to be smaller but denser. I'm hoping for 4oz per plant but would be happy with 2oz. :hippy:

[zebulon]

Looks great....:thumbsup:
It's always a joy to come in, and check your updates, those are some beautiful plants....:jointsmile:
If you have some time-energy, could you please take a few shots of Carrie?? I would really like to see those huge buds from closer....:thumbsup:

[PopaBean]

Great in my book foooooo shoooo'

Happy Thanksgiving.

Popa

[d4twamp]

Damn Weedy is that yard stick in the ASH pic to beat that thing into submission how tall is that one...

[Weedhound]

I wasn't quite sure what Zeb meant by close ups of the buds so I just took a bunch of shots and let me know which ones you guys like and which ones you don't.

It's a bit early for a lot of trichs on her.....she's still got a fair amount of filling in to do.

OMG...:eek:

Thanks Wh, that second batch of pix is exactly what i was looking for....:thumbsup:
Those tops are huge, and they look really dense....nice work and thanks again...:jointsmile:

[DTRave420]

Fabulous weedhound,absolutely fabulous...:thumbsup:

[Weedhound]

So our Master Kushs (shown at day 10 bloom in pic one) did iimmediately what the Brainstorms did when we moved them into the bloom room......they took an enourmous jump and frankly I'm sick of LST'ing and breaking off branches etc etc so we're trying some SCROG this grow.

The "screen table" was very easy to make with some extra wood we already had around. The screening itself is 2 inch chicken wire. We may go with smaller screening next time but I felt we were pusihing things as it was since the plants are at approx day 12-13 into bloom already.

We've layed the screen late and MK tends to have firm stems and branches (read: easy to break) so I know there are some broken branches etc that we will need to watch for. Only time will tell how much we've helped or hurt the plants. Next grow we will install the screen BEFORE the plants reach screen height but we were just plain stuck here so just went for it.

We're thinking of possibly going with two scrog screens in the middle eventually which allow better efficiency with the 1kw light. A lot will depend on how much of a success this first SCROG run turns out to be. :cool:

PS....Thanks DT. :)

[WhiskeyTango]

JEEEEEEE-BUS!!! I think I got wood....LOVELY bud pron weedy...rep:greenthumb:
good vibes

[Weedhound]

And the plants seem to have adjusted quite well already and have turned themselves back toward the light. There ARE some damaged branches etc which I sprayed preventatively with Serenade.....but I don't think there will be many problems or we would have started seeing them right away.

The eventual goal (we think) is to have two seperate scrog screens in the center and then a regular set on each side so that we can keep the light down low.

We're not sure though if we want to use the second SCROG for soil plants or hydro. See with the 400 w on the side it would make sense to SCROG underneath that light.....but wouldn't solve the problem on the other side which has become a jungle (as you can easily see in the last photo of the Brainstorms) and that's when we start losing good exposure to the lighting......especially on the lower branches. Thoughts?

One of my fears would be that if a soil plant needs flushing or something.....and is in a SCROG setup it would be very hard to remove or treat whereas with hydro we can pull and change the nute solution without disturbing the plants.

Thanks WT. :)

if its big, how about setting it on a lil movers dolly-like setup, to allow you to roll it around?
then u just need to construct a lil framework around-AND SECURED TO your pot and 'viola!, potra scrog.
im actually working on a new design with adjustable canopy which can be raised as the plants develop height. the advantage i'm theorizing is that the plants will be 'screen-friendly' by the time you have to restrict the max height.
should make for an interesting experiment in the next wave.
watch for previews;)

We're not sure though if we want to use the second SCROG for soil plants or hydro. See with the 400 w on the side it would make sense to SCROG underneath that light.....but wouldn't solve the problem on the other side which has become a jungle (as you can easily see in the last photo of the Brainstorms) and that's when we start losing good exposure to the lighting......especially on the lower branches. Thoughts?



my thought on this is go vertical with the lighting, but in doing this you'd need lights from every angle in that rain forest you got going on...So I can see how the porta-scrog would be a better use of the overhead lighting....

Leave it to you - too much pot being a bad thing . LOL - Sorry you had to cull a few .
I'm way jealous of the scrog attempt Sis .
I Soooooo wish I could do it myself .This is gonna be really interesting .
Chat soon

i must say you do a great job with everyting you do! Good luck with the scgrog only hope i have the same kind of results you have time after time

[Weedhound]

Thanks Grass.....that's a very nice thing to say.

Rock...something along that line......but it has to be able to detach from the pot so you can remove it from the pot if you have to. There's a CFL grow log where one guy did a beautiful job with one plant and SCROG......that post gave me the energy to try it.

check out this one plant on page two.....totally cool looking.....really made me want to try it.

[Rock.Steady]

Weedy,
i gots an idea, but problem is with ur idea of detatching from the pot.

u'll remember this-
portascrog version 2.0 (pvc tubing+ metal fence) (http://boards.cannabis.com/attachments/grow-log/203400d1222995815-rock-returns-snlxnh-ww-strawberry-haze-p1010038.jpg)
http://boards.cannabis.com/attachments/grow-log/203400d1222995815-rock-returns-snlxnh-ww-strawberry-haze-p1010038.jpg

this was my second prototype portascrog.

heres one of the problem/concerns w portascrog

the frame must be anchored to the pot somehow, because too much movement of the frame or pot, without the other, pulls on the plant violently.

how do i know, it happened.

early on while moving them around the room, the frame swayed hard and almost toppled over, taking the whole plant with it. it woulda been a disaster, probly snapped off at the soilline and killed it for sure.
i quickly caught and restabilized it and learned a quick lesson while my heart was beating in my throat.

if ur considering the need to flush, consider a tub style runnoff setup like this. then u could raise and siphon off excess while flushing, or if u overwater.

of course w hydro, i guess you would just drain out.
but u'd still have the same stability concerns.

i'm offering my limited experiences with having used a couple portascrogs already.
i think the new one (version 3.0 coming soon) will be the best one yet.;)

Wow weedhound, those buds in your pics are huge.
I'm glad your trying the scrog technique, it is so much fun, well at least for a novice like myself. In regards to your concern of flushing soil, do what I do, use a shop vac to suck it up. I plan on continuing using the scrog technique, it does have its disadvantages though, such as transplanting and plant access, but if you know your plants, you'll have no problem.

Best of luck!

[Shovelhandle]

SWEET!

[WhiskeyTango]

Not bad at all! You got this SCROG thing!! Go with ROCK....PORTA-SCROG!!!
good vibes

[Weedhound]

Well jd there was able to remove his plant by cutting the screen which would work with the scrog table we have as well. The thing is I want to scrog more than one plant at a time forr light efficiency. That's why the table and the two plants we have in SCROG now. I just don't think I want an immovable SCROG attached to a single pot......I think a table like the one we have would work better. Thoughts?

[Weedhound]

And thanks for the inspiration jd!!! :)

Aloha Weedy,

Not for nuttin' but I scrogged around for a while.
Found I could do as well or better with intelligent LST, FIMming and nipping. :cool:

Once they start the "7th inning stretch", I'd still get 2 or 4 tops that got very "uppity".

I opted to let her dry-out 'til slightly limp and tie the long stems together with the first half of a square knot.
Makes 'em run sideways two branches at a time, just like scrog, but without the added wire shadows and tangles

Just twine them together for a week, then untwine them when all the junction buds go vertical.

Works a treat and no screen hassles.

Just a thought.

Aloha,
Weeze

[Weedhound]

That's one of the things I'm wonder about wheeze.....will the SCROG yield match just "letting the plant do its thing" like Carrie or something.

Don't have a pic of your setup when you ran it do you?

I think that would depend on the strain, the light and the individual lady.

But, generally, I'd think that scrog is more suited to LEDs or fluorescent tubes. Any wide, flat light source with little penetration.

I thought you had some killer HPS bloom lights, ya?
I'm willing to bet that vertical HPS will produce better with someone like Carrie than it will with some flat topped scroggy girl.:D

Running a 6 gal. DWC gal right now with two sets, (4), scragglies entwined.

Actually, I just untied them Sunday and they are still horizontal with a row of 6 - 8 secondary buds on all four stems.
Just like they'd been scrogged.

I'm kinda waiting for an end to my grow room lease to post any pictures.
I don't have the room or the nerve to grow at my home.
So I'm a "sharecropper"
And I respect my "landlord's" pananoia.

So, I take choke pictures but must wait until that space is, shall we say neutral, before I post them.:cool:
Sorry 'bout dat.
I can e- you a snap if the idea is hard to picture.

Carrie is gorgeous, I'm smitten.

Aloha, and my best to da Mr.
Weeze

[jdsoil]

Hey WH, about your question in regards to yield with a scrog over "letting the plant do its thing." I personally think the yield with a scrog is more, your exposing all bud sites to equal intense light, so all exposed buds should be a lot better developed buds, You may not get forearm size colas but you do get a screen full of average size buds.
Plus it is great for saving space.
Check out this guys scrog, it inspired me a lot.

[Weedhound]

That's what draws me to it jd.....the chance for even light penetration. I'm going crazy and plants are just tripping over each other trying to get to the light. In a ""perfect" setting like Carrie's the plant "doing it's own thing" obviously has good results. But there is a cost in that she takes up a lot of room and hogs up a lot of light which leaves the other plants short of what THEY need so there has to be a balance somewhere. :)
