Green Crack....with lots of LST...the branches are very heavy and will need lots of support, but there will be over 30 colas on this plant. I might of over did the LST but, that is what trying new stuff does.

You could always just run a hose or tube from the dehumidifier outside, through a drilled hole in the side.

08-14-2010, 01:59 AM
I re-use the water, I just hate having to dump 4 times a day, Tomorrow I am going raise the dehumidifier up on a stool and drill a hole in the tray and run a small pipe to a 5 gallon bucket, use some calking to make sure the hole is sealed.

If that works is one dump a day....:)

there is so much to do.......and If I forget to dump it the dehumidifier shuts off....:(

"From Marijuana reviews .com"

Submitted By: NorCal_Cyclist (Member and Editor)

Camera Used: Sony Cybershot DSCH1

Name: Blue Dream

From: Trinity Gardens (Dispensary â?? Redding)

Grade: A+

Type: Hybrid (50-50 Indica/Sativa)

Genetics: Blueberry x Haze

Price: $50/8th, $95/qtr., $175/half, $320/oz.

Looks: Light blue/green color with some orange-red hairs. VERY frosty, tight buds.

Smell: Sweet/floral and fruity â?? definitely smell the berry influence.

Taste: The smoke is light and smooth. The floral/berry flavor remains in the smoke when puffing a joint, but not as much when snapping bong hits. No detectable spice flavor from the Haze. Tastes like Blue Dream on the inhale and exhale.

Buzz Type: The high provides a sense of calm and relaxation â?? both in mind and body.

Buzz Length: Medium-Long â?? after around 1-1.5 hours Iâ??m thinking itâ??s time for more, but itâ??s the kind you can enjoy all day with little to no burnout factor.

Overall: I find this med to be my favorite for day use to fight stress/anxiety or after a long stressful day of work. Seems to burn just as good in joints or bowls â?? but I like a joint to get the flavor of the medicine.

I have 12 blue dream plants vegging right now this is day 18 for them, The are about 1/2 done on the vegging, and will be crop 2 along with the black berry kush, they will be moved in the flower room in 30 days.

Just keep looking the clones are out there:hippy:

I am looking for some NY diesel clones for crop 3 or crop 4 of our grow.

Plants are getting huge.....I relly wanted to take pictures, but will wait till day 7.

some have grown so fast that I am going LST again with some of the larger branches, lots of white hairs starting to form so we are full blown into flower.

My heat is going to be a problem and trying a few things to control it. When the lights are ready to go off for 12/12 I pull the ready made plastic curtain to keet my vegging plants on 24/7 but the air-conditioner is on the other side with the flower plants, they are staying 78- 80 with 45 to 55 humidity, but in the vegging area 85 to 90 degrees with 65 to 70 humidity. I am trying to control it with my exhaust fan right now and it's helping, but not at what I hoped for so far.

I have three fans going in the veggin room to move air and I see no problems, the plants are growing like mad.....but it always a problem with heat and humidity.

Anyone with any ideas?????

just by looking at the setup, money aint a thang hahahaha


looking good man


Where are your ballasts located at? Ever thought about cooling the bulbs? Thats a sure fire way to bring temps down to a managable level.

weeddaddy50
08-18-2010, 02:12 AM
pretty funny......your right....I did go overboard on the setup and am pretty tapped out right now. My plants just love the setup...and the tempture has been an issue, I knew it would be and that is why I installed the 2 ton split system.....I figure if I do fail with my grow project....I can always do what I really intended to do and that was build harley ground up....It's a 3 year project of mine....of course I do not have the money ....but it is a dream.:)

Keep the comments comming as so few people have commented that I figure no one is even interested.

weeddaddy50
08-20-2010, 06:35 PM
Man those babys just blew up. some almost doubled in size.

I added some side light and re-potted the vegging plants.

Had to split the room with BW poly to change flower area to 12/12 and keep veg area 27/7.

Also pulled some clones that were not rooting properly and added 7 NY diesel and 6 Purple dragon clones.

Also of the five DJ short Blue Berry seeds that I started only one had sprouted (I guess I suck at growing from seed) Still have 5 left, but at $25 a seed that was depressing.

Had one bad incident happen with one of the Grand daddy Purples, feed it with the bloom stuff and burned the sh*t out of it.....I just made a mistake with the water wand.

Temps have 80 to 84 and humidity 52 to 65, still have not fixed the problem with the full humidity drawer getting full in the 12/12 phase and the need to drain it off every 6 hours....my project this weekend.

pictures are comming.

Have had two Grand Daddy Purples die in two days......One just starting wilting....I watered it...came back 4 hours later and found mites all over it.:(

I sprayed it....killed them....waited 4 hours sprayed it again...killed them again...took the plant out side and chopped off all the branches...I want to see if it will come back. The other one had been growing slow and I found a problem with the stalk....I just pulled it....

I was really bummed all day yesteday about the mites.....all those plants....

Took 3 hours clipped off some leaves....and sprayed every plant.:) what it did do was.....forced me to look at every plant very closely....right at the stalks and the hiding places....these mites seem to hide in.

I have about 8 plants that need to be repotted....but I am going to wait till next weekend when there will be about 20 of them to repot.

Man I was stressed.....about those mites....all that investment could of been gone in a day or so........I am so glad I check this grow room three times a day most days and twice a day every day.

Pictures tomorrow. lots of LST being done, but just about out of room.

Plants have almost doubled in 2 weeks....:D looks like I am going to have start flower on the blue dream at 30 days....hold the black berry kush back 2 more weeks in the veg area ( well new smaller area) and then open up the whole room to 12 /12 and let these babys just blow up. The one huge Afgoo has 32 colas on it and they are going to be awesome. most of the other plants have 20 to 30 colas....except the green crack....with the LST I did through our all the veg cycle....It's hard to count how many there are going to be....but I will have some excellent pictures of those two plants tomorrow.

Has not so far, but I try and not over water, when the water drips out I set up a fan on the floor to dry it quickly + I have some old towels...I also have a mold spray that I use quickly if I see any forming on the floor.

set up the dehumidifier over a drain, like in the sink (drill a hole in the dehumidifier reservoir if you have to) and just let it drain.

Had some small break out of mites again....took all the affected teens out of the grow room....got a commerical sprayer....some organic...mite killer...safe for consumption...and sprayed the crap of them basically flat as a pancake...both sides of them....let them dryout and put them back in the veg room.....I know for a fact that thing works.

Anyone's mouth watering as of yet?????


I am pretty happy with the grow right now, but lots of work this weekend.

Your plants look great. Too bad about the bug situation. With that crowded of a grow room, getting rid of them is going to be a long-term battle. Keep up the good work! :)

weeddaddy50
08-28-2010, 02:51 AM
they are not in any of the flower area or the large blue dreams, I believe they can in on a clone two weeks ago...last week I killed them and the eggs hatch out....today I killed them again.....hopefully one more spraying and I got them....I am moving all the plants and spreading out the flower plants to allow them to get more bushy.....

Also....I am so obsessed with killing them....I use a micron and look for them prior to them being seen with the naked eye...these breakouts are usually pretty small....but I check them every day....in the places I know where an outbreak would occur.

But even with that ....you could be right.....

Anyone who gets clones for their grow should dip them in mite spray once a week for three straight weeks.....I did not do this...I just sprayed them...and that was not enough.

thanks for the imput

Firday afternoon...they were in both rooms:wtf:......what a bummer....:wtf:

Almost cried....when I saw it. with everything so tight...it was bound to happen.

Went down to the grow shop first thing sat.....talked to some very experienced indoor growers....got three types of organic spray...three step process....Treaded every plant....jsut blasted them with that new indoor electric fogger....that thing has some power....WOW....check them...saturday evening...and all of the are dead....next step is monday with the next stuff...it kills eggs....last step is wednesday...all three together....Like Urban Grower REMO....in his video.

Re-organized the whole grow room and created a veg room in another area...

Pulled in 12 blue dream, 1 grandaddy purple, and 2 Black Berry Kush in the flower room and expanded. I now have 6 1000 watts and the flowering is going great. Pictures to follow.

I feel preety good about all the progress this weekend.

weeddaddy50
09-03-2010, 08:49 PM
Have battled the mites all week. there are really knocked back, and I did a very small spray on the plants that have only flowered for 7 days and set off a bug bomb in the new veg area. The flower area with the 21 day plants seems to have little to no mites, as I have been very agressive in all the growing areas. I have a no pest strip which is helping. The lesson I have learned is no matter who you get clones from....prepare a 1 gallon bucket of spray and dip everone of them every three days for 9 days....I know those mites came from clones.:wtf:

Now....the update....my girls are looking very nice.....huge colas are starting to form on every plant in the 21 day cycle....I started another batch and they are at 7 days now blue dream, grand daddy purple, Black Berry kush. Took down the wall and opened up the room to pure flower now 6 1000 watts of HPS going....got my carbon filter finally hooked up to the can fan and it's 1700 cfs...fan comes on every 15 minutes and stays on for 15 minutes, the minute is shuts off the CO2 comes on for 15 minutes....the Air conditioner is set a 80 degrees and the dehumidfier is running full time.

M new veg area....is now 50" X 96" and pretty easy to close off from the flower area....it's very crowded....and I know I really got ahead of myself on this perpetural grow thing. There are 15 plants in 15 gal pots in there right now that will be ready to flower in 2 weeks, but I have no room in the flower room for 5 more weeks:jointsmile:...so....I will just try and make the best of it and see what happens. The teens are growing excellent, removed some slow growing clones and replaced them with some Romalian cuttings I got from a good friend...

Pictures to follow....

Marijuana is a beautiful plant....but it takes, care, love, dilligience, persestance, to grow...the colas are going to be excellent.:rasta:

due to my lack of growing knowledge (which i am trying to expand myself) i havent commented on much but i have some very very knowledgeable friends that i can ask any questions you have.

please, keep up the good work and the posts. its looking great and i like to see the progress. If you could include crop A, or B or whichever crop is in each picture it would be a lot of help. Otherwise its looking great and im glad youre on top of the mites. If they were my plants the mites would have eaten them by now lol.

Keep posting and keep up the good work, its really nice watching the process and trying to learn from it.

Just got back from the lake this weekend and checked on the grow room...
it's strange you check on your plants twice a day for almost 90 days and then go 2 1/2 without and it feels strange....I watered them very heavy prior to leaving and they are fine and have really shot up and the buds have filled in nicely. Had another small outbreak of mites in the Veg area and I just bombed it...have to wait 2 hours prior to going in the water. Also had another ballast go out....brand new...I am going to ship it back to them for a replacement....very strange...luckly I had a spare, so no harm to foul. power bill is $600 a month:mad:but these buds are looking just awesome:pimp:

Had another teen (GDP) Grand Daddy Purple die on me again...that makes 9 our of 18 have died....they were F...up clones when I got them and I should of never purchased them....Live and Learn...just got my cloner...now I will be able to remove the mite problem fully, by providing my own clones from mother plants I will set aside. Never had a problem with mites until those clones were brought into the grow room.

Thanks everyone.....keep posting....it helps me....to keep posting.

Grand daddy purple is more of an indicia plant...short and bushy...excellent for growing inside....Purple Dragon....more of a sativia...tall and lankey...I would top that purple dragon right from the get go and keep it short and bushy, because when you switch to 12/12 that thing will blow up and double in size in 10 days, I would super crop it, LST it, and FIM it. I made the mistake of not doing that with the blue dream plants and if you go look at the picures in the grow log those plants are HUGE...and they are in day 10 of flower...I can not top or FIM them, so I am super cropping some and LST some to see what is more effective.

Both will be great producers, but you need to treat them differently and they will grow very different.

Thanks.....the mites....are just about gone...they are not on any of my budding plants....but they love those blue dream plants, and in the veg area they love the purple dragon, grand daddy purple, and black berry kush. Bug bombs work excellent in there as it is very easy to control. I am hand spraying the blue dreams, and twice a day checking to big budding plants....nothing so far, and they will only get sprayed with organic stuff if necessory. I am not doing anything to those plants as they are starting to get nice sticky buds....and the SMELL.....WOW I just love that smell.....It reminds me of the old days....that first bag of weed...you opened...in high school.....the Santa Cruz....bud....or Bonny Dune Bud......just a killer smell...

Everyone has to know what I mean.....SMELL.....yummy...:rastasmoke:

Looks like Weed daddy is going to add some LED lights to the grow room.:)

Not sure where to start, but I am not going to go the China...junk stuff.

Looks like I may start with 4 and see out it goes.....;)

I will let you know.....

BTW Saturday will be week 4 and for everyone looking for pictures....the buds are really getting big.....I may take some preview pictures tomorrow...I see the start of a few two handers....yeh baby... and with 4 weeks to go
I am being very careful with my ladies. What I need them to do is get some huge DDD's on them....you know like 44 DDD on about half the colas...:stoned:.....hey a guy can dream can't he.

The veg plants are just exploding and the Black Berry Kush in 15 gal pots need to be moved into flower.....but no room....when they get moved they will have veged for 60 days....WOW....That is going to be crop C

Crop B the Blue Dream....are 10 days into flower and small pistals are showing have to super crop some of the tall branches...they wer like 5 feet tall and were going to explode to 7 feet...if I was not careful.

The mites....are just about gone...I hav ebeen very dilligent about my inspection of the plants on a daily basis. Only using organic spray in a very limited basis on the blue dreams and there are no mites on the crop A plants :)

For everyone enjoying my grow log....Growing is my passion....it's very enjoyable, but takes lots of work....I encourge anyone with questions about indoor growing to keep reading canibas.com.....anything you need to know is on this website.

Not all Chinese stuff is junk, but you do have to know your sources, and it pays off to backtrack their suppliers to ensure quality.

Crop A has 3 1/2 week to go and the blue dream have 6 weeks to go.

Bend them over, and support them....(basically LST, or even tho it's a bit late SCROG?) Just bear in mind that each plant will now take up 2x the room it took before,..... it SHOULD be worth it in the end.

Just came out of the flower room and am very satisfied with the grow so far.

I have to figure out what to do with those blue dreams that are almost 7 feet tall. with 3 1/2 weeks to go for crop A....I have to figure something for the blue dreams in crop B with 5 1/2 weeks to go and just starting to bud.

Also, I have 1 DJ short teen that was suppost to be femized seeds, but I am going to put it in the flower room 12/12 to sex it. I want to be sure;) it's a lady.

Checked every plant....used some seawood extract and water for folaige spraying on the plants...check for mites as found a few, but since I am so far into flowering I am spraying them with just water and seawood extract. kills them pretty easy and the plants love it.

I checked the 4 plants that I was very worried about today...all the ones that are streching ....all of them have new bud growth with nice white hairs coming out of the calaxes...some of them are starting to have some nice bud growth....

This is a tought time right now....with all these beautiful plants....you really want to make sure....they are well taken care of.

If there is not problems...it's 24 days till harvest....if the light problem is real, 31 days.....I believe at least the green crack will be ready in about 18 to 20 days...then the Afgoo in about 24 days....and finally the Purple Berry Kush in about 28 to 31 days.

The 2 green crack plants are yellowing pretty good, all other plants, are growing very well and some buds are starting to fill in. I am going to start flushing on the next water cycle. The green crack will be ready faster than i thought....I would say 10 - 14 days...flushing will start on them tomorrow.

Got my airoponics cloner in use and started some clones 8 days ago, some have excellent roots already and I have started these in 4" pots, the rest will stay on the cloner another week to see if they root.

Still a very exciting time right now....Some of those cola's that have streached should be huge....IF.....they fill in....on one cola I counted over 100 bud site new growth with white pistils....I sure hope they start to swell.

it looks like it could be a little too much nitrogen due to the clawing of the leaves and stretching.

Are you using any addititives that might be boosting the Nitrogen levels?(like that seaweed extract)

weeddaddy50
09-24-2010, 04:20 AM
You know that is a great question.....I started using one cap full of seawood extract to 25 gallons of water about 2 weeks ago....I cap full is not much, but you could be right....also I have been misting with it the last 2 weeks.

Tonight was the last water with addititives....the next 2 weeks will be Ph-ed
water for the final flushing.

weeddaddy50
09-26-2010, 05:51 PM
light problem.

Just turned to dark cycle in the flower room....no picture till later. Overall the grow is looking pretty good....still have a few mites...using a shop to vacumm them up every day on the buds and spraying with water at the bases, they are not serious of a problem and a small breakout 3 days, but with only 2 weeks to go....I am not going to spray with any chemicals:wtf:

The 4 plants that were streaching are starting to fill, but I believe they will take 1 to 2 weeks longer than the rest of the batch.

The Blue Dream are 6 feet tall and starting to really bud nicely, I can not wait for harvest of A crop that will allow me to tie down all the blue dream plants with the addidional space created.

Took cuttings and got them on the clone machine....mostly grand daddy purple and some test cuttings on my best budding plant...took some cuttings on some the the suckers at the bottom, cut off all the small buds and see if they will root....Just a test.....I am going to reveg that plant and try to create a mother, as I need some a serious cutting for this plant as it is any excellent producer,

just have been busy....and have not had the time to post.

Took some clones the last few days with my home made cloner.

Some have small roots showing right now.

Black berry kush
Kypronite
Grand daddy purple
Purple berry ( hope they root, as I took them from my best flowering plant)
Purple Dragon
DJ shorts Blue Berry ( got three clones off this mother to start with) this strain is very slow growing.
Blue Dream

Last time I took them off the cloner too soon and only had a 50% success rate.....this time I am going to wait for some big root mass before the transplant into 1 gallon pots.

I am seeing roots in 5 days, but I am going to give them 15 days to really take hold.

So Far I am giving myself a C+ or B- on this grow....Have had some issues... the spider mite thing is very frustrating....Dam eggs.

2 weeks to harvest.....the green crack will be harvested this weekend it ready with 50% of the tricombs amber in color....the buds are small golf ball to popcorn size and I am really un happy with these clones I got. I believe this was the worst strain or shall I say clones I got from a MMJ co-op...In my opinion these two plant were a waste of time....I bet I may get 3 ounces per plant dried and that is it......very dissapointed....but I have another mother Green Crack plant I got from some cuttings from my buddies outside grow...and that plant was a beast....i am not giving up on green crack....just I will never buy clones from that MMJ co-op again.

With my cloner I can create all the clones I need and can share with friends the strains I really want.

Peace guys

weeddaddy50
10-03-2010, 05:32 PM
Ok...I found something two or three days ago and today comfirmed it...different strains require.....more or less water than other strains...meaning not all strains take water the same....the Green crack that I thought was doing poorly and wanted to harvest and get out of the room...I decited to just flood it and see what happens to the yellowing leaves....well what happened was lots of bud growth....I mean ton's these two plants are like a sponge....water...water...water...I now believe they were starving for water...even though I was watering them just like the kush and afgoo...I believe they need to be watered every day now...and water till the overflow disk is nearly full...they are really comming around and I will let them go the last two weeks they need.

October 13 will be a full 8 weeks....56 days from 12/12 for crop A the Afgoo, Green Crack, & Purple Berry Kush....I believe the will all need an extra week because of the lighting being interupted for those 5 days and messing some of them up to start revegging....some are just starting to have the yellow bottom flowers.....which is a normal cycle of two to three weeks to go.

Also....the buds are starting to roll over and get very heavy and will need to be supported...I am going to get 50 bamboo 5' stakes at the grow shop today and get them supported....additionally since I have not done much LST with the monster 7' high blue dream....and am going to try and get all of them tied down today....it a huge task....and I will have try and round up some help.

I took 70 cuttings yesterday and they are on the cloner....the first batch was a complete loss....transplanted them too early and put them in the veg area too early....now I made a new cloning area....with a 4' double tube t-5
in a seperate area....I have 25 spray tips shooting water and I added 2 air stones to the mix and a $9 air pump from petsmart....this baby is killer now plenty of spray and air to make happy clones. Right now I have Kypronite, blueberry, purple kush, blue dream, Grand Daddy Purple, and some purple berry kush on the machine.....will see what happens by next weekend.

Some of the buds are still pretty airy...and not super solid...some are rock hard....and some are in between....looking forward to the results:rastasmoke:

Sure hope everyone is interested in this grow log.....and Man there are ton's of up's and downs to growning this many plants indoors.

Good luck to anyone who takes on the task of starting an indoor grow and a grow log......failure and success is just part of the game.....its what you do with that information and defines you as a grower.

You've only got a few weeks to go for some! Keep rolling!

And during flowering, transpiration rates go way up, more water is required!

Funny....I believe I know what the problem was....My father visited and said hey you need to raise your lights....well I shurgged....I believe I am right....but they guy is your dad....so what the heck I raised them a foot...and bam...they started to streach.....I have finally lowered them back to the original level....:(

Looking good overall though....Started some advanced nutrients Bud X Factor

for the last 2 weeks till I start flushing.....I believe 2 weeks will be about right as I look at the tricombs and they are still pretty clear and very few are amber in color....man the frosting is very heavy and sticky....when it gets on your hands....the smell and it's so heavy....you have to spray down your clothes with fabrize...to keep it off everything else.

Well I got the pictures uploaded....The highs and lows of growing are amazing...really.....reminds me of the stock market up one day down the next.

The major advice I can give all "NOOB" growers is do your research...and if your believe you are right....do not....I repeat....do not make any changes to your garden....unless YOU BELIEVE....it is a good reason....raising those lights and the power intreuption....put my grow in a major spin....I am trying to climb out of.....additionaly when you make changes....make small ones....and make sure you visit at least 2 times a day after any changes.....I should be harvesting on October 13.....but I believe I will need two additional weeks to recover from those two problems.

The good problems is crop B....Blue Dream, Grand Daddy Purple, Black Berry Kush are looking very good in flowering.

Crop C in the veg area....Ny Diesel, Purple Dragon, Kypronite, Grand Daddy purple and perfect and I am not going to repot as of yet....still in 3 and 5 gallon containers....I have the 15 gal ready....but If I do it prior to harvest...those baby will explode.....I know they will....and I will have another space problem.....Planning.....Planning......when I say explode....I seen them grow a foot a week for 3 weeks in a row....then you have a problem.

Comments are welcome......

Yep, the plant is near the end of it's life and it's dying. Great looking grow! I've grown some sativas that are lanky and foxtailed. They need lots of time to finish. The payoff is some really nice stash.

I believe you are correct....it will should be very be nice stash...my friends can not wait for their medicine.

marcaka....I use mostly advanced nutrients....but that is not all there is to growing....I learned most of what I know from growing from following the excellent growers on this site, by reading all the posts about growing, then read the two books growing bibles cover to cover...I re read them often...I love the magazines....urban grower....maximum yield....rosebud...go to you tube and have watched every video of urban grower and sticky finger koma...and may others....I then take all those ideas and advice and make my own plan as to growing....we are limited to the number of plants here is California....I have a small family grow co-op....and when I started this indoor grow idea....I wanted it to be prepetural....it has to be that way to keep the medicine flowing to my people....

Growing outdoors is a ton easier than indoors....I mean it is night and day...
I have major experience with outdoor growing, but with all the rip offs happening I want it to be safe...so I moved indoors.

Growing indoors is tough.....I mean real tough....problems happen...and if you have done your research....you can deal with them logical....but....if you have not....you will see many posts on this site from someone...asking about how to solve the problem....

I have only read a few of your posts on you grows so I am not up to speed, but I can tell you....you have to PH your water....6.4 to 7.0 is tap water...and that is not what you need....if you can not afford a digital ph meter at least get a pool kit....that will get your PH close....Make sure your soil drains very will and put a clear water disk under your pot....water till you see run off....then go pick up the pot...that will let you know how it feels full...then after two days...pick it up...most of the time you may not need to water....but when the last 2 to 3 weeks of flower you may have to water every day.

Then other thing...it looks like you are taking too many leaves off your plants way too early....only take leaves off when they start to yellow....the lolly-popping your are doing is way to much and that is costing your yield.

Also...go from clone to 1 gal for a max of 2 weeks... then to 3 gal for 3 weeks and finally for a grow tent 7 gal for the final.....you need to re-pot right before you get root bound.

my schedule is as follows:

Veg:

Sensi grow A
Sensi grow B
B52

smaller pot...need more feeding schedule... so this is daily....flush every 3 day with PHed water

1 cap of seawood liquid
and bat guanno for a special tea
once a week

I veg for 30 to 45 days

Flower:

Sensi bloom A
Sensi bloom B
1 cap seawood liquid
Bud candy
Sweet Raw

every other day and pHed water in between

The 5, 6, and 7 week is the same but a add Bud X factor to the mix

The soil I use is a mix of pro-mix, worm castings and peralite....use plenty of peralite....you want that drainage.

Your next grow start a grow log....it forces you to put what is happening on paper...take lots of pictures....you will always go back to them many times...I do so at least once a week....

Good Luck

I belive the girls are back on track now...all the extra veg growth and now turned back to flowering.....I have some very interesting plants....I mean REAL interesting cola tops....5 days ago I bent over all the tops that veged out and tied them down right at the thick part of the cola...now all that growth is flowering and I have a few colas that small buds growing right at the lights ...I have the lights lowered a little more...and now I am reducing the temp in the room to 75 with light on 65 light off....and I have the lighting reduced to 11 light and 13 hours of dark....this weekend I am going to start adding a cup of ice to 5 plants every dark period to see if the calyx's will start to really swell and turn purple.....like they should....hence the name "purple berry kush"....

Talked to the breader who created this strain and the guy who I got these clones from about the problems....he has an excellent outdoor grow and none are ready to harvest....he said everything is 2 weeks late....so maybe this is a 9 to 10 week flower.....I have not every grown this strain....so I have no experience with the timing of harvest ....the tricombs are all clear and plants are still have all their white pistals...very few swelling calyx's.

The next two weeks will tell me what is happening. Visited two very nice outdoor grows today...and they are just starting to harvest.

Picture's this weekend.

weeddaddy50
10-11-2010, 02:58 AM
and opened up the grow room.....make a huge difference. all plants have good spacing right now...the blue dream were over 7 feet tall and really got away from me....Sativa's.....just get huge quickly in a grow room....and I made the mistake of not topping or LST until it was too late for my room...I still have 4 in there and they are manageable with the reast of my grow which is mostly indica. This weekend I checked every plant took off a garbage bag of yellow leaves from all those babys....I would say 2 weeks and we should be right where I want to be.....I figure I lost 2 to 3 weeks with the light interruption and the revegging they did....buds are still growing on some plants and the calxy's are just starting to swell on others. My hands were covered in sticky gooy sweet smelling stuff....

I am just hanging in there....still taking clones from some of the mothers in the veg room....Started some Dream Queen from an excellent mother....I saw the finished plant that had over 5 pounds of dry come off of it outdoor.

Adding the airstones to the cloner has made a huge difference as they are rooting in about 4 to 7 days and ready for soil in 14 days with huge roots.

Outdoor growing is easy...indoor growing is challenging.....I am here for the long hall.....lets see what we have in 14 days.

weeddaddy50
10-13-2010, 12:22 AM
Well it has been challanging with that light intruption issue....but I am very encourged as of this morning....bud are getting tight....calyx's are swelling, lots of frosty tricoms....buds are still growing and some have white hairs still but I am very happy with the progress over the last 7 days....I should be harvesting this Friday....per the original schedule.....but I believe only 2 plants will be ready....It may only take 7 to 10 additional days...but a ton of progress has happened in just 7 days.

Crop B is well on the way now as the Grand Daddy, Black Berry Kush, & Blue Dream are really flowering excellent now 4 weeks to go for those.

Crop C is ready to put in the flower room right now....just no room. I may just take out the mothers....there are 5 of them...put them under some floros for 2 weeks and change the MH blub to HPS and go to 12/12....in two weeks they will be ready to go into the flower room and have a jump start on flowering. Crop C is going to be very interesting all Sativa & and some hy-bread: Including kypronite, Purple Kush, Grand Daddy Purple, NY diesel.

Clone's are just starting to get some great root stock...some have been transplanted to 4" trays.....I have giving some serious thought to a "Sea Of Green for Crop D. 2 tables 20 plants per table in 3 gallon pots under 2 1000 hps...I will have the clones and they will be veged for about 14 days. I will continue with the same 15 gal pots for the rest of the grow.

Any thoughts?

Pictures on Friday.

The highs and lows are amazing on growing indoor.....Outdoor....I never....ever thought this much about my grows....... I thought a lot about getting ripped off....:)....but not much about the growing part.

weeddaddy50
10-14-2010, 07:52 PM
Girls are on their way....lots of crystals....heavy tricoms....caylx's starting to really swell....starting at the bottom of the cola...they look very good and as they go up to each bud site...Tomorrow is officallly the harvest date...but I am going to let them go another 14 days, because of the light interuption that happened. If these colas with all those bud sites finish like I see them doing right now....I should have a fantastic crop. Still feeding them and have not started flushing. I am going to go one more week till I start flushing.

The Dream Queen is very close...the buds are small and very hard with beautiful orange to brown hairs and really sticky and the smell is mouth watering.

It been a long process for grow A. Grow B is buding nicely...the Blue Dream, Grand Daddy Purple, & Black Berry Kush have nice starting buds looking good, and I started a Purple Dragon on 12/12 as i had some extra room.

Veg room is ready to move into the flower room....just waiting for harvest all those Vegging plants need to be repotted into 15 gal containers...I just do not have that kind of room.....it may be possible...

Pictures tomorrow at day 56.

Check out this photo...you can see the cola right at the green tape...then all the revegging flowers above that ....the bud is hard below but only flowering the top 6 to 8 inches.....it really has me frustrated. Some buds are very close to harvest some are 2 to 3 week off.

Good luck.

I'm failing to see any promise in those pics, what little that I do see looks mite infested.


I really do feel bad for ya, there's a TON of potential in your grow, but a couple mistakes seem to have F'd it up.

Day 56, so 8 weeks in? even on a lanky sativa it should be better! The light issue must have been more than you let on.

We are all with ya bro, no sense in trying to hide or cover up an issue.


Your girls should look closer to the following pics!

Day 45,
Pic 1: Blueberry, Indica, was a clone when set to flower, needs another week, week.5
Pic 2-4 Durban Poison, Sativa. Needs 3-4 more weeks.

These are day 45 pics,... nearly a WEEK behind where you should be! ;)

thanks for your comments....yes the light intruption is a major problem...from what I read about it....I could of lost 4 to 6 weeks from it.

As, I am not going to give up...I am going to keep doing what I am doing.

As far as I can tell...I am not hiding or covering up any issue....a grow log is

what is happening to you the good and the bad and how you deal with it.

I am commited to this grow and grow B & C....

Sorry, that was kinda an asshole post and I didn't explain myself clearly. :glugglug:

I just scrolled back thru, and again missed the length and nature of the light interruption, just that something happened about day 35-38?

Were they off for 36 hours or something?

I've lost power to my room, my girls got 6 hours of light then about 4 hours of dark before the wife woke up and flipped the breaker. Then a bit more than 2 hours of light before I realized that it should have been off.

My timers are mechanical and need power to keep accurate time. I got my timers re-set and they got their 12 hours of dark.

Everythings been happy since then, I never experienced excessive stretch, or even a slow down in growth on any of the plants in the room all spaced 3 weeks apart in flowering.

But your talking about possibly loosing a month and a half!? :eek: I must be dense and have missed some key information. That's where the coverup comment came from.

I know you are wanting to see a turnaround for your effort, and it's been a great show so far! :thumbsup: But sometimes it's just easier to hack and re-set. Your already almost an entire flowering cycle behind by your own post. Watch the Trichomes, get what you can and cut your losses.

Get a fresh set of girls under the lights and in just 2-4 weeks longer than your already looking at you'll pull a great harvest! :hippy:

weeddaddy50
10-19-2010, 03:30 AM
That is why I am going to put all the plants 24 total in the veg area on 12/12 now....keep all my clones out of the veg area....and start them in veg just as soon as I harvest the 22 plants in the flower room and move the plants out of the veg area and into the flower area.....that is why I have a major amount of clones on the cloning machine and have started the clones with large roots in soil. I am setting this move for two weeks.

I am setting this up, so if I have to do just what you said...no time will be lost. Believe me....I think about this almost evey hour of every day.

Thanks,

Hell man I'm still a novice at this as best as I can figure,... but I'm in a position where I get to see (First hand) A LOT of grows and talk to the growers. Hell even one of my kids spotted spider mites on a plant at a local Hydro store! :eek: :wtf: ( I've trained them well with my basil and parsley no?!? )


I'm an asshole, and my drinking doesn't help, but I've seen 1st hand several growers like you fail.

I don't like it, and I think the industry should thrive! Floundering growers hurt the industry, so I try and put a foot up an ass where I can given the knowledge that I'm exposed to.

things are looking good your way! :thumbsup: in your reply you said that i should water with ph'd water... I have a ph meter and when i use just water it is at 6.5.. should i change this? also when i feed i get the ph to 6.9.... should i change this??

Also I am going to start a log.. but right now I am in week 2 of flower and my new growth is kind of pale green to neon green with the tops very light green... do you think iron problem?... I will start the log soon with pics so you can take a look appreciate it.:pimp:

10-21-2010, 03:37 AM
yep get your ph down to 5.5 to 5.8 use ph down in small amounts.

just use good bloom nutrients and ph your water you should be fine.

I believe I have a pretty good handle on my current grow....flowering really well right now...problem is I do not know how much time was lost when the power went out and the lights got off cycle....2 lights were ne....and 4 lights were off and vice versa for nearly 9 days....and that put my whole grow back into veg....which means I lost the 9 days of flower + 14 days to get them back to flower + at least the 14 days that were left of flower....total best I can figure is 37 days were lost....the only good thing about it is....I have colas that are 16" to 20" long that are flowering and if they continue to fill out like they are doing right now...I should have an excellent harvest...

I would not wish this problem on anyone....I was using the cheep walmart timers....now I have timers with a battery back up...so power outages will not throw my grow into a spin again.

Canna....got me thinking and I have a big batch of clones on my cloner and about 70% of them have roots....I am going to start all my plants in my veg room on 12/12...mostly like a pre-flower 2 weeks from now I will move them into the flower room.....this will allow me to start a SOG in my small room under a 1000 HPS...and let me keep the flower room at it's current capacity until those babys get huge, holding back some of the clones for another veg.

Pretty stressful...I believe the girls are tracking pretty good right now....

thanks for the comments

Lights just went out so no pictures...but buds are harding up nicely right now...still have some very new flowers on some of the plants...the Grand daddy is really looking excellent right now....the afgoo is huge and the buds are really starting to fill out....still at least 7 to 10 days away...have three plants that are ready to harvest about 5 days and the buds and tricoms are super nice....starting to get milky....I may just let them got till the get amber in color as the caylex's are really swelling right now. On friday it will be day 70 and that light issue was a realy problem with about 3/4's of my grow.

My veg room just went to 12/12....and by the time I harvest I will have all plants ready to move in the flower room.

Clones are looking excellent...moved some into 1 gallon pots and still taking clones.

10-30-2010, 03:05 AM
Pictures tomorrow...lots of progress.....looking very good...going to harvest 2 plants tomorrow.

The grand daddy Purple, Blue Dream, & Black berry Kush are looking nice in crop B.

Crop A...the Green crack will be harvested tomorrow, the rest will still be from a week to two weeks away...that light interuption cost crop A at least 21 days and more like 30 days....

Clones for crop D are looking good and have 18 in 1 gallon pots, and still are taking clones for friends.

I wish I could start a thread on light interuption and what happens...as this has been a very trying experience that I have gone through.

Seriously it looks like you have your shit in a row! :thumbsup:

So don't be scared to step out and say,.... "Ummmm I fucked up! What can I do now?"


Some times its best done openly.... A 9 day interruption of the light cycle is something that should be at least stated!!!!!!


Diligence to your grow is absolute if you want to turn something like what you have going.


I'm looking forward to future posts,... that have pics attached! ;)

the fan leaves are beat up because I was tires of the mites about 5 weeks ago and started using a shop vac on the buds leaves and all....every day for a week....then I bombed them...and mostly got them all...now...all the fan leaves are pretty beaten up....and I can not get the buds inside the shop vac anymore...lol they are too fat

Looking good,... aside from the mites.


Good job being patient, and letting everything run it's course. Next run should be spectacular!

If you can get your mites fixed,.... which by the last few pics hasn't happened :(

mixture of cinammon oil, nicotine, and a couple drops of dish soap should be more than effective for spider mites.

Just make sure that your cinnamon oil is not very strong, or you'll burn the plant.

after checking them this morning....I believe they will be ready to harvest:hippy:

The other 9 will take a few days more as they are still a little airy, but they are swelling now.

Just put crop C into the flower room yesterday...they are still in 3 gal pots...I just do not have the room to repot them until I harvest crop A. They are flowering nicely though after a 40 day veg. They include: Kypronite, Ny Diesel, Purple Dragon, Grand Daddy Purple,

Will most likely lose a week of flower when I repot them but...that will not be a problem.

Moved some clones off the cloning machine and into 1 gal pots for crop D they include: Blue Dream, Black Berry Kush, Purple Dragon, Romalin, and Space Queen.

Finally looks like my light issue is behind me.:thumbsup:

Looking good over there! Check out my log if you get a chance... def have a few questions: 1. Sweet Raw, 2. pot size 3. how to get my ladies more dense--altho only in week 3 of flower.... anyone please check out my log and comment

weeddaddy50
11-05-2010, 02:24 PM
I just reviewed my log and all the pictures...it's nice to have this documented to review for use after you finish your grow.

Here is my opinion of my grow to date and the pros and cons:

1) Mites were introduced from the Ny Diesel and Purple dragong clones
I got from a private breeder....once you get mites it makes growing pretty tough. Now that I have my own cloning machine and the following mothers....purple berry kush, grand daddy purple, purple kush, kush, space queen, romalian, NY diesel, Purple dragon...there will be no need to buy clones...when taking clones now I have a mitacide bath I give them prior to cloning...so far no mites on any plants in the veg area.

2) Light intruption happened around day 30 of flower and continued for about 7 to 10 days before I figured it out....with 6 lights...the problem occured when the power went out and 2 of the six light got off schedule....so in effect 4 lights were on and 2 off and the reverse of that in the dark period...that lead to the streaching and revegging...then to top it off i raised the lights...because of the to tall blue dream plants...all at the same time.
that killed my flower period for about 30 days...because when they go back to vegging....you have to get them back to 12/12 and it takes time for them to react. by reviewing the pictures you can see that.

3) Some strains that you buy from breaders are junk....the green crack 2 plants were just inferior strains....I now have a mother plant from a killer green crack "space queen" and it is nothing like what I was sold...I know this strain, as I took the cutting my self off a huge plant with solid colas.

4) Arrangement of grow room and size of grow. I have never grown on this size of scale before this log...all my experience is from outdoor and my grows were very productive. Indoor growing is a whole another type of growing and really not comparable to outdoor growing. I made many mistakes and I probally re-aranged my grow room about 5 times through this grow log. For anyone following this log....all I can say is....be persistent....you will...be ok...if you keep at it.....but you have to put in your time....and learn from your mistakes.....The number one lesson I learned is....plants can get out of hand....in my case the sativa/indica cross blue dream....got too big fro my room....I waited way too long to flower....that caused a huge problem for the entire grow room.....the mostly indica plants are perfect for indoors on a long veg....but for sativa....very short veg and then flower is my experience from this log.....funny thing is outdoor....size is not a problem.

5) Co2, air movement, carbon filter, air in and air out......all of these are needed to keep your plants healthy...well you could go without the co2....but tempture and humidity are the most important....I believe This part of my grow was excellent...and If I did not have that in control...my grow would of failed....my tempture in the summer was 80 to 83 with co2 and 50 to 65 humidity and I was using the Air conditioner a ton....now using the 1700 cfm fan at 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off keeps the room at 76 to 80 and my dehumidifer keeps the humidity at 50 to 65. No heater...no AC are needed...but if you turn off the fan....everything will sore to 100 degrees and 90% humidity.....new growers please make sure you have this part of your garden under control.

6) Whispy buds....hard buds....and in between buds....I have them all right now.....again picture review is very important....I know everyone thinks the can remember....but believe me....you can not...and it all becomes a blurr when you visit your grow room 2 times a day.....take lots of pictures...and document....My whispy buds 2 weeks ago are getting hard...my whispy...lanky...spinley buds 30 days ago are huge colas and rock hard now....they just take time....I know everyone thinks flower is 8 weeks...but it could take longer...and why would you want to harvest a whispy bud...when it may get hard....check the tricomes....if they are not amber....you could let them go a little while longer.

7) Harvest......4 plants this weekend.....picture's...for sure

8) I am going to let the rest of them go 1 more week in crop A...then harvest.


Thanks for all your help......there were many LOWS......and a few real LOWS...but this weekend will start the highs.

harvested last sunday are done drying, have been manicured and are now curing in the jars....pretty small harvest for those "space queen" i.e. green crack.....got 2 ounces of the first one and 4 ounces off the second one....I knew those plants were not going to put out much as I believe that strain I got from that breeder was not very good, production wise. The medicine is excellent though.....:rasta: a few beers and a good couple of hits and :D

Tomorrow.....some Purple Berry Kush.....

11-08-2010, 05:33 AM
today....there are 4 ready....but I looked at the tricomes and all were milkey
with very few amber in color....thought I would give them a few more days.

Here is a nice photo of the curing bud jars....green crack....or "space queen" also pictured is the first purple berry kush...not much of a yield....maybe 2 to 3 ounces..but the plants left to harvest will be much more than that.http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd242/sdhuntclub/IMG_4873.jpg

Listened a little while ago to a fellow on Medical Marijuana Radio Show (http://boards.cannabis.com/new-mexico-nm/181287-medical-marijuana-radio-show-5.html) talking about harvest time. According to him, all this advice to wait for amber trichomes is faulty information. He recommends harvesting when trich's are milky.

This is accurate. Milky Trichomes = more head high, amber trichomes = more body high. Works for indica or sativa.

off the 2nd Purple Berry Kush this morning, 70% cloudy and 30% amber tricomes...I left the side and bottom buds to go a while longer. The buds are super nice dense nuggets very large and heavy....I really want to keep this plant and re-veg it.....for clones after harvest...there are 3 awesome purple berry kush in this grow and all would be excellent mothers. I will probally take the other two later this week.

The buds are perfect, sticky, red to brownish hairs, sugar looking tricomes, flushed for 10 days....just killer looking bud.

I still have 5 purple berry that have very nice buds, but the caylex's are still not hard and the tricomes are clear....so I am just going to let them keep going.....the Grand Daddy Purple is very close, and so is the Afgoo.

Crop B .....is budding very nicely....blue dream....black berry kush....looks like about 2 to3 more weeks.

Crop C .....also budding nicely Kypronite, Purple Dragon, Grandaddy Purple.

Pictures to follow

1st purple berry Kush....was not too good....2 ounces dry...once again I believe the light issue had alot to do with the poor yield...but it also could be that clone was from an inferior plant.

2nd purple berry kush.....which still has all the side and lower buds and will be harvested tomorrow....had 7 ounces of dry from the tops I took 7 days ago.....and I know there will be another 3 ounces dry with what is left.....I guess you never know.

I am going to re-veg this plant and try and make it a mother...for future clones

Wow, you might be a little disappointed with some of the yield/problems but just the look of those fat nugs makes my mouth water. Though you probably didn't yield as much as you expected it looks like you have done an amazing job on your first grow. I know some growers who have been growing for years and still seem to nutrient lock their plants or let them die of infestation. This is a mighty fine grow you've got and i hope you keep it up to see what you can do with more time and practice.

First of all growing indoors.....is way harder than growing outdoors...my experience is with outdoor grows....I moved indoors...to get 6 harvests a year...and to stop from being ripped off....I know lots of outdoor grows that got ripped off this year, that being said....I really enjoy indoor growing.:thumbsup:

Man...that...light problem was hard to overcome....It's behind me now...but put me back over a month.

Crop A still continues....still to harvest...2 Afgoo, 6 Purple Berry Kush.
Looks like next weekend and most will be done

Crop B Flowering....1 harvested yesterday...the grand daddy Purple....Still to harvest 4 blue dream, 7 Black Berry Kush. they look like 14 to 21 days till done.

Crop C Flowering.....Kypronite, Purple Dragon, NY Diesel, and 2 Very Nice Grand Daddy Purple's....that are budding nicely. These have about 5 weeks to go.

The most enjoyable part of growing is taking the pictures of those beautiful tricomes...and beautiful colors...then of course using the medication....is best to both at the same time:pimp:

least enjoyable is trimming.....that takes a ton of time....

Next up.....is Crop D......SOG.........I have been making the clones for about a month....It will be interesting....they are vegging right now are about 8" to 10" high....and I will flip them some time this week....I am just not ready...as of yet....as they are in 1 gal containers...and need to be transplanted...I am going to use 3 gal grow bags.

I know this grow was not to the standards of many experts on here...but
I believe it was a pretty good success....

It would be nice to some type of a rating....

Harvest of grand Daddy Purple, was completed, dried, and now is curing in jars....pretty small plant...but....3 nice ounces of excellent smelling, and beautiful looking bud....this strain would be perfect for a SOG....I only wish I had 40 clones to try it.....I will tell you it is a very hard strain to clone....I am only having about a 30% success rate cloning then on my machine. Romulan on the other hand I have 99% success rate on the same machine.

Also, harvested 3 more purple berry kush, which are drying....they will yield small like the rest of the small ones...in the 2 to 3 ounce range. this weekend some large plants will be harvested with real good yields, as the bud are nice, big and very dense.

I will Harvest the last of the plants that got totally messed up because of the light intruption issue.

Harvest will include:

2 afgoo huge plants....the buds are huge, but not real hard but trichomes are ready
6 Purple berry Kush.....3 are excellent huge colas....3 are pretty airy...I just do not see them getting any better and it's time to move on.

Just my estimate of the 19 plants and based on the weight I have achieved so far after drying and curing..are as follows:

5 Purple Berry Kush which were just very dissapointing all averaged 2 to 3 ounces per plant.

3 Purple Berry kush which were excellent averaged 7 to 10 ounces.

2 Space queen which were dissapointing averaged 2 to 3 ounces per plant.

1 Grand Daddy Purple was very nice...but a small plant that produced 3 ounces per plant.

So lets just do a quick estimate....and get this log over.

GDP(1) = 3 ounces
PBK(3) good ones = 24 ounces ( using 8 ounces)
PBK(5) below average = 12 (using 2.5 ounce avarage)
SQ (2) below average = 4

Estimate of the 8 plants left:

2 Afgoo should be around 6 ounces each = 12
3 PBK Good ones = 24
3 PBK below average = 12
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 19 plants = 91 ounces (5.68 pound)

2548 grams divided by 6000 watts is very dismal....:mad::(...only.42 grams per watt).....that is most likely considered a failure.

Hopefully someone will read this complete log and learn from my mistakes.

I did talk to the breeder for the Purple Berry Kush yesterday and talked about the failed plants....he said that in those clones there was an excellent pheno plant and that was probally the 6 good plants I got, but there was some super failure plants and the other clones were most likely those. :) As they had the same problem at other grows.

That made me feel slightly better.....because I thought i thought It was just me....and I sucked big time on those plants.....I kept the three good plants...and they are re-vegging right now for clones.....I know what to expect from those plants.

By the way I have changed my mind on the SOG and location.....I thought it over and it just does not make sense in that location....I am keeping my veg area in tack.....But I have a plan....See my next grow log for the plan.

thanks to everyone for all the help.

11-23-2010, 03:13 AM
starting driving home from work....and thinking.....was I that bad on my grow????????.....then I remembered....wait....I had more than 19 plants under my 6000 watts....so I had to remember how many lights I started with in flower for th 19 plants and it was 3 and half way through I added a 4th for side lighting....so even if we figured 4000 watts my grams per watt was better than I first reported......

I knew I sucked....but I did not think I sucked that bad....now I just confirmed it....still....not too good....but not terriable.

I will have to way better the next grow.

the good news is the smoke is excellent......curing for 14 to 21 days make a huge difference.:hippy:

I wouldn't judge your success by the quantity. Some of the most flavorful strains are very hard to grow and low-yeilding. Look at any pure kush or haze... Sometimes the quality is more important.

I think the guy above me is right. Quality is better than quantity and those bugs look tasty (as well as the guiness). This is your first indoor crop so I definitely wouldn't get yourself down. You're doing something right if the buds are looking that fat and juicy. I hope that you're happy with your harvest, I wish I could have plants that big in my grow room. I wish I had a grow room...

My next grow log is going to be a SCROG.....3 x 1000 watts on custom made tables each 4' X 6' with 20 plants on each table. it's all about using the light and maintaining an even canopy.....with like 6 different strains I felt the screen was the only way to go.....I have the plants....Have been cloning for a month now....all are vegging right now.

I know you've seen this pic in my log, My dispensary owner buddys SCROG, he's using 600's but 1000s would work fine, just space em out more.

Those are 5 gallon grow bags under the screen, the screen is 3' wide I believe. 2 rows of plants per table, tables are about 20' long and fit about 30 plants.. You could get away with a 4' wide table under a 1000.

Got robbed today while making a delivery.

Not sure how it happened...but it did.

I was about to post how all your bud porn was almost giving me a visual contact high ... then I saw this post. :(

I am so sorry to hear that you were ripped off after all that fine work you did and the nice results you got. Bottom line ... that sucks! But have no worries because KARMA will come back tenfold to the thief/ves!

They hit your grow room? That sucks! :mad:


Probably didn't have anything to do with posting, they were watching and already knew, just followed you from a delivery and were waiting for an opportunity.

Never drive straight from your grow to delivery, and or delivery to the grow.


How bad did they hit you?

Great grow my bro:thumbsup:

But feel bad about you getting ripped off as i did too. Only it was my outdoor grow and they got me twice, which it never really got to finish. The thread is here and i had 3 big re veg's, which in the long run saved me as there was to much for them to carry so i gt some. I feel ya man!

Dont give up, just get a security camera and make sure they know you got it. Oh a big ass dog helps too.

But it wasn't for nothing, you learn a lot, just use it on your next go round:jointsmile:

the person you sold too was probably in on it. Do you really think it was a coincidence that it happened on a delivery?

I am very carefull about that....but security cameras are going in.

It was a fake co-op....they keep bugging me about product...and my indoor stuff was drying and some was in the trimming stage...so I just took samples...about 1/2 oz of 4 different types of medicine...but my good friend who went with me had several pounds of outdoor...they met us in front...my buddy was driving my pickup...I have verified them an MMJ patients via medicab online...and I asked for ID...as soon as that happened two trucks got us blocked in pulled some guns...took my cell ...the truck keys..and all the medicine...as I was out of the truck...on of them said don't try anything and hits his buldge in his waste band....I said...thats no gun...and shoved him..the black guy was asking by partner for his wallet...and he gave it to him I told to go fu*k him self I was not going to give hime mine..then they just left...it happened several hours from my grow room...I had my cell locked by the cell company...so they could not get any of that info withing 10 minutes of being robbed....and they through the keys out in the main road..and we got them back....BELIEVE ME IT WAS A LONG RIDE HOME.

Talked to the police and they just shrugged...and said it happens all the time.

I have ran that 2 minutes in my head over and over maybe over 100 times...and I can only come up on one other situation where the outcome could of been better that what happened....that would be to never of gone.

They said everything right....almost every detail....

Now I am seriously...re-thinking this whole commitment.....I love growing....I really do.....but....If I have to deal...with people....like that....I give up.

WD - Do not let a bunch of thieving criminals get the best of you! You will learn from this experience and grow from it. Sick people are counting on you for your medicines and that alone is a reason to go on. Don't let a few bad apples in the barrel ruin it for you and your commitment. I thought it was your grow area that was "raped" and I am sort of glad that it was hours away from your place. I am also happy you are safe and they didn't take it to a whole other level if you get my drift.

You know what would be great justice? If they got pulled over with all that medicine in their truck...and had to explain where it came from. Now that would be justice served up! :detective1:

If it happened to Me i would go back to the direct location that i was robbed and light the place up with my AR-15. Then again, im a gun toting wierdo with a really bad anger problem. My advice should be taken with a grain of salt.


The people who robbed you didnt coincidently "find" you with all of your drugs. Someone told them, someone who you trusted with the information. You know the people who robbed you, or at least you know someone who knows. You got set up man. The rats are near, you just have to get some cheese to flush them out.

now that i think about it dont listen to a word i say.


Once you get robbed/jacked, you make a personal pledge to never let it ever happen again. Stay alert to everything and everyone. When I was younger I didn't use my head and did things that i never wish i could reverse. My experience as a piece of shit thief has humbled me and also taught me many things about that crowd.

keep on keeping on and be a little more paranoid about transactions. I know its legal but your still a drug dealer according to Federal Law. Personally i worry about thiefs more than the DEA. You ARE the source of the most expensive cash crop in America. The "Man" and ruthless criminals are SEARCHING for your ass.


its scary out there.

at least it didn't end badly. Still SUCKS. but it could have been worse. I really don't trust CoOps, I'm currently working with a fella at my real job that is in a CoOp with 3 other growers, they are all growing at his residence. While it's a legal grow, his daughters boyfriend had a beef with him and called the cops saying it was a meth lab.

When the cops raided him, the other guy's in the CoOp walked away from him, only 1 even offered to stand up in court if it gets that far. :mad:

Good luck, stay on your toes and cover your ass!!!!! Like Dru said.

Tomorrow will be a week from the robbery....I still pissed about it....I think even if I had been armed....it could of been much worse....most likely someone would been shot.

I am going to just do things very different from now on. Smaller amounts...and pre-meetings prior to any deliverys....all paperwork...id...way prior to any meeting with new paitents.

The good news....is....still harvesting....now the blue dream....they are just beautiful.....I know....I know.....I know.....I hated those plants for the longest time.....I just let them Veg way too long and they got huge....now the buds are huge.....:D......All the Purple Berry Kush are harvested....cut the last one a few days ago...drying now.....the last few were just excellent....Color.....very sticky.....beautiful.....

This weekend since my room....has some big room....the SCROG is going in.:jointsmile: plants have been vegging for 25 days still pretty small and in 1 gal containers......they are about 14" tall.

Dude i got ripped by my partner and to beat that, he came back and took more, the first time was my only Purple plant and most of the tops. Second time he took all the tops, but its a good thing 3 plants were re vegged so it took to much time for him to get it all.

Just shows you cannot trust anyone. Can you mail the paperwork to your patients and have them fill it out before delivery. Then tell them you will call 20min before drop off. This way if something does happen, you will know who set you up that fast. And i would not tell anyone you got ripped, it just makes for more chatter and thats the last thing you need.

Be safe, but as said above, keep pushin bro:thumbsup:

to the MMJ people involved in my grow room. So far all the reports are excellent.....the purple berry kush is a day time medicine...uplifting...and really gets you focused.

The Grand Daddy Purple is a heavy....medicine....almost couch lock....excellent for pain.

The Blue Dream is another excellent medicine for pain.....and uplifting

Can't wait for the Kypronite OG Kush....will be ready in a week.

Got my SCROG going with a custom table.

Got the next batch planted

and started the seeds for my breeding project.

It's a ton of work....you think anyone would be interested?

I'm still harvesting right now...just checking trichomes every day....had something real interesting happen this evening....one of the Purple Berry kush has been hanging for over 16 days and it's a huge plant....i did nothing just chopped it and hung it....just did not have the time to trim it, as we were working on the Blue dream's....well anyway...this plant is very sticky the buds will just stick to your fingers...heavy sugar...beautiul gold hairs...and the smell is...what I would call old school.....that danky...skunky....mouth watering.....smell you remember from the weed of your youth....reminds me of the weed where I grew up in the Santa Cruz Mountains.....it also has a hint of berries....which makes it even more appealing.....I will continue trimming it and then its JAR time....:cool:

Bud Porn....from my Harvest.

Blue Dream....a tall plant...and tough to grow indoors...but an excellent producer...4 plants and over 1lb of just killer, sticky, beautiful medicine (this is 2 oz)

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd242/sdhuntclub/IMG_0036.jpg

Purple Berry Kush.....Nice plant to grow indoors....longer flower about 10 weeks but the yield was just a little over 7 ounces average for the last 4 plants of super medicine....the people I am helping with this medicine just love it....I am growing it again.
