- They were getting rootrot...

- They were getting mold on at least one or two of them...

- They were really just experimental plants and not meant to be fully flowered...

- They told us what we wanted to know about rapid forceflowering after rooting clones and the effectiveness of CFLs in flowering...

- They were taking up precious space...

- We want some friggin bud! ;)


Excellent reasons; all but the last of course!!! :D That doesn't count!

Here are plants #â??s 2a & 9a respectively.

Then a pic of them in the dry box with the rest.

And some close ups of the buds.

:rasta:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

The rest are not ready yet. They will stay to simmer a little more. The 2 on the left are actually 8-11 days behind the other 3 big ones. They will have to be harvested in sequence. The small ones on the left are actually on the same DAY as the main flowering room.

[TheGreenFog]

Now to many peoplesâ?? favorite partâ?¦â?�THE WEIGH IN.â?�

For documentation purposes only, here are the weights of the plants directly after harvesting.

9a = 26.2g
2a = 24.8g
6a = 28.6g
1a = 30.8g

Total of 4 = 110.4g

And into the dryer they go for one week.

:rastasmoke: RastafarI

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

Hope you all enjoyed the early harvest pics. These are the only plants that were semi-ready to harvest at the time. They were also pulled due to other various reasons that I mentioned a few posts up. The rest will be left in there for a week more or so depending on each plantâ??s individual ripeness.

Now there is still the business of checking the rest of the room! :D

We still have to take a look at the veg room and main flowering room on this day's update.

I don't have time to do it right now, but I'll try to come back and do it today if I can. Then we'll be ready to move onto the next day's update! :D :D

Hit me up.

Be cool.

Loved the harvest pics...my mouth's watering....Be dry soon, huh? I'm waiting patiently for the next episode of FogTV! S

[Splifted]

Man fog, I love this grow. I've been sporadically checking back in on this over the course, you and your rubbermaids rule. Let us know the dry weights on all those too, I'm just curious how much exactly is water weight. Like usually how many times lighter is it after drying? Like 1/4th or 1/5th? Great job man, keep up the pics. Be sure to stop my my thread over the next few weeks, 3 weeks into flowering, so only 5-? more to go.

Nice.


Dry weights will approximate 20% of wet weights usually.

[TheGreenFog]

Whoa! My 'boo-hoo, poor me' post worked! 3 whole replies! YAYAYAY! :clap:

Now, I might not have to bust out my 'secret weapon avatar'...mua ha ha ha...

So...


~bree1978~

Well, they're not gonna dry with you DROOLING all over them! hehe. Thanks for the compliments. Glad you are tuning in. I should have an Arbitron rating...lol. j/k Look out for a bunch of brand new episodes over the next couple days. More harvesting pics for sure!


~splifted~

Also, thanks for tuning in. I'm glad someone's watching. I feel like no one is even 'viewing' this thread at all. Gosh! [/sarcasm] lol ;)

Well, I like the rubbermaid box too. It's my favorite...so far. It's done much better than I expected. BUT, alas...when it is finished, I have a feeling that it will be going the way of the dodo...maybe to be replaced by something even BETTER! (gasp!)

As far as weights go, I will have all the numbers for you so we can compare wet & dry weights once and for all! Gosh what would we all do if we didn't have such a detailed Journal? :p

I've been checkin' in at your thread too...but it's off the radar now. When you post some updates next, I'll come by, catch up, and send you a line. :D Looking forward to those updates!


~Stinky~

I thought you'd like that. :D



To all those keeping up with the JOURNAL, stay tuned for the rest of the harvest pics from the BodomBox and we're coming real close to the MAIN flowering room's harvest time too! More LSTing, cloning, and all that jazz...after these messages. :D:D:D


Be...attentive...like a hawk.

P.S. I think I mistyped some of the DAY numbers. Nuttin' I can do now, except just keep going...!

I'm too tired to type a long post about how these plants came about, so if ya don't know...please go back and check. THANKS!

How do they look?

:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

More pics of the main flowering room.

Oh I thought of something. Take note of picture # 5. The plant in front is 13a.

This plant was snapped in half a couple weeks into flowering. It was COMPLETELY SNAPPED IN HALFâ?¦ and then re-positioned and taped up with electrical tape. Itâ??s growth was stunted severely and it is lagging behind the others. This was also the plant with which we were having leaf problem earlier on. This plant has taken some severe punishmentâ?¦

BUT it has started to grow again. It is growing new leaves and the buds are finally fattening up above the break.

This plant is also a possible sativa. Look at the leavesâ?¦Look at the height. Since this is bagseed, there is no real way to tell which is indica or sativaâ?¦or even hybrids of bothâ?¦but we are thinking that there are possibly a couple indicas in there and a couple or at least one sativa. This will affect harvesting schedules. :(

DAY 133/56/48

Welcome back to the show.

Another week has passed (since the last update) and weâ??re gonna start this update off with some nice dried harvest bud pics!

PIC#1: Dry box one week after harvest. Look how much they shrunk! :(

PIC#2: Plant #9a (dry w/stem) = 6.0g

PIC#3: Plant #2a (dry w/stem) = 5.3g

PIC#4: Plant #1a (dry w/stem) = 7.0g

PIC #5: Plants # 1a, 2a, 6a, 9a

I donâ??t know what I did with 6aâ??s weight pic dry w/stem? Iâ??ll find it.

For now, here are these.

:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

Pics dry w/o stem

1 - #9a = 3.8g
2 - #1a = 5.0g
3 - #2a = 3.6g
4 - #6a = 3.5g
5 - All bud in jars for cure. Remember, this is only 4 out of the 10 that were in the Rubbermaid box! More to come!

Note: The buds were a little drier than hoped for, but maybe we'll do 5 or 6 days drying instead of 7. That dry box kicks arse. :D

I gotta take a break for a few, but I'm gonna try to go back and get the wet weights and post them next to the dry weights with and without stems to clearly show the weight drop. I think it was about 1/4 to 1/5 or original wet weight.

:rastasmoke:

[Cornelius]

that's a half oz so far...very nice. How long till you can harvest those trees?

[santacruz_organic]

green fog, can you tell me what that picture on your avatar is? my plants half that on the main stem

[Splifted]

green fog, can you tell me what that picture on your avatar is? my plants half that on the main stem

Looks like a single crystallized calyx to me. Thats what the original pre-flowers on mine ended up looking like.

[stinkyattic]

I'm glad you posted a good shot of the base of the trees and the medium they're in... nice and CLEAN. Good airflow. No visible salt buildup on the hydroton. Big thumbs up.

[Pass That Shit]

GFog :pimp:

Your main flowering room is looking good. :rastasmoke:
Plenty of smoke to FOG you up. :rastasmoke:

[invision]

Fog everything looks great, man you are going crazy over there wish i lived close by to see it (and borrow some clones).

i just started my cab up a simple glass shield solved my heat problem but i have a 465CFM cage fan coming in a wekk or so i need for a scrubber.

dont go overboard man :)

[ridethefire]

Man, everytime I stop by it seems like i've missed 3 pages. Its hard to believe that mine will look like that pretty soon :jointsmile: (hopefully!).

Congrats on the harvest thus far, cant wait for the properly cured smoke tests. Thanks for the updates.

[kindprincess]

hey fog, there are pics of a sage clone on a couple of my threads now... i'd post one here, but it takes too long, and i'm too depressed...

just thought i'd let you know.

[TheGreenFog]

Hello, again! Whoa...I got some catching up to do...:D:D:D

~Cornelius~ Yea, half oz! That will put us around an 1 â?? 1.5 oz at the end of the Rubbermaid box grow. I wonder what will come off of those trees, eh? Iâ??d say a couple of weeks left still on the tall girls. We wanna get then looking nice and fat. :D

~santacruz_organic~ Yes, what Splifted said, it is a single crystally calyx. See how the pistils have shriveled and died, but the calyx is fattened. â??False pregnancyâ?? syndrome. Gotta love those trick â?? o - gnomes, eh? ;)

~stinkyattic~ Thanks, girl. You know meâ?¦meticulous. We try to keep the space as clean as possible. Makes for good photo shoots, too. :D

~passthatshit~ Thanks, man. :pimp: GFog in the hizzouseâ?¦what?

~invision~ Hey, man thanks, too. I hear ya about the clone thing. Itâ??s so easy to clone but not enough space! Kinda sucks, eh? Still sour about those two big mamas that were ditched. :(

So you fixed your temps just with a glass shield and no fan? Iâ??m curious to see that. Whereâ??s your new grow log? That 465cfm will be nice. :thumbsup:

~ridethefire~ Yea, man. It goes fast. You gotta pay attention or youâ??ll miss a lot. Haha. No, but really, itâ??s mainly because I post so many damn pics.

Iâ??m sure some people donâ??t even read the posts and just skim through looking at the pics. Sh8t, I gotta go do that myself sometime soon! Itâ??s nice to see them grow up. Whoa, the space they take up, though. Amazing.

Yea, the harvest pics are nice. No big monster colas on those little Rubbermaid babies, but they were experimental anyway, so an ounce off the whole lot should be worth it. I think I can dig up a smoke report somewhere. :D

Iâ??ve been eye-ing your thread too. Lookinâ?? good. :greenthumb:

Stick around.

~kindprincess~

Hey! Why so glum? Well, I actually saw you posted about your plantsâ?¦:( Thatâ??s a bummer. How did it happen? Iâ??m typing this right after I saw your post about your veg plants dying, so you might explain it by the time I get to post this. Maybe Iâ??ll edit the post. That really does suck about the plants though.

I am very CONGRATULATORY, however, that we are finally honored with some pictures. It feels like foreverâ?¦and I thought they would never come, yet they have. That sage clone looks weirdâ?¦:eek: Looking forward to sage monster part II

Just saw what happened. Sucks about your light. And your plantsâ?¦and your dog. My condolences go to you and I hope you get back on track asap. I also saw the Sticky you got up in Basic Growing. Good stuff! Two :thumbsup:â?¦



Well, as far as Iâ??m concerned:

Iâ??m :( because I donâ??t get to post as much anymore. I still keep up with the threads and all, I just donâ??t get to reply, and I wanna say something, but then itâ??s too late by the time I log on! Ha. Anywayâ?¦Iâ??ll try to get some updates up soon.

Hey, hemlockstones! Thanks for the comment. I am hopeful that what you say is true. That's all I could ascertain from the view count compared to the post count. Bunches of silent viewers. That is what keeps me posting! ;)

Lots of exciting stuff coming up! Good :) and bad :(....

Hey, here's an idea...if you don't wanna post...you could give me some rep! LOL I'm on a rep mission...to 2 blocks. I've set my goals quite low.

[ridethefire]

Thanks for the rep :D ! I just read through your entire thread, wish I was around from the beginning. Glad you kept on with the journal.


Hey, here's an idea...if you don't wanna post...you could give me some rep! LOL I'm on a rep mission...to 2 blocks. I've set my goals quite low.

I agree! I'd help you out, but it wants me to spread some rep. love elsewhere before giving it to the fog again...

Cant wait to hear the news ;) and possibly see more porn!

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, ridethefire. I'm glad you got a chance to read through the whole thing. It's hard for me to reply to someone's thread if I haven't read through all the way. Plus, it's always good reading, and never hurts to learn from the mistakes/experiences of others!


Well, so I'm kind of dissapointed because I had planned on updating the thread since I've posted those last harvest pics, but I haven't had the time...and now that I have a 'bit' of time, I don't have the frigging pictures with me. I'm getting so behind. When I DO finally update, I'm sure there will be like 2-3 new pages in the JOURNAL! Good Sh*t, tho.

What do you mean 'the news?' ;) haha. Yea, ridethefire got a little sneek-peek preview when we were in chat the other day. He's got premature knowledge of the coming updates! Glad he's keepin' his lips tight (lol at myself...). Sorry.

So, anyway, The updates will be coming as soon as I can get them to ya'll. Unfortunately, it may not be until the end of this coming weekend or next week. :(

In the meantime, if anyone has any questions or feedback about anything you've seen in the grow so far, anything you wanna talk about, hit me up! I'm always game for some discussion. Plus, since I haven't gone back and re-read the whole thing in a while, I'd love to know what some of you think of some of the earlier pictures maybe. :D

Another note, the boards have seemed awfully slow recently, including my own absence. Is this largely due to the holiday season, so everyone is busy with their families? I hope that's the case. If I don't get to say it later, I hope everyone has an awesome holiday season.

Anyway, just thought I'd bring you all up to date, and maybe squeeze some chat out of you guys!

Smoke responsibly...and to great excess! lol :rasta:

OK, now that we've cleared through the riff-raff, onto the updates. I typed most of these at another time, so bear with me. :D:D:D

NOW back to TheGreenFogTV! We're gonna get nice and foggy up in here. Oh yea!

Okay, guys and ladiesâ?¦glad that everyone is hanging around. I wish I could be here more too, but hey, time waits for no manâ?¦or something.

OK, lets get this show on the road, people. I appreciate all of your comments and hope you are here for the madness that is about to ensue. Lol :blueknife:

Weâ??ll just start where we left off on the last page. We had harvested 4 of the 13 plants in the Rubbermaid box and they have dried for 7 days in the dry box.

ATTENTION: We have smokeable cannabisâ?¦ :yippee:

We have removed the stems and thrown the weed into jars to cure.

Sinsemillaâ?¦no seeds. Decently compact. Mehâ?¦for a side experiment. 15.9g so far.


And that brings us to nowâ?¦


Here is what we have left today on DAY 56 (8 weeks exactly) of flowering the Rubbermaid box. We have removed 4 plants and dried them to cure. Now we shall look at claiming more victims.

1 â?? The lot minus 4.
2 â?? Closeup.
3 â?? Mehâ?¦
4 â?? Dunno wtf happened to this poor sucker. Will most likely chop her in the morningâ?¦it is DAY 48 for her, as she is one of the 3 that are lagging behind.
5 â?? Another shot of the lot. Sure will miss â??em. :(

Plant # 13a

Here is the very reason I am chopping down some of these early. MOLD. :mad:

Look at the top bud. I thought it was spidermites at first, but now Iâ??m fairly certain it is that white mold that â??theyâ?? talk about.

I almost considered lighting a matchbook in the box as a poormanâ??s â??sulfur burnerâ??, but got talked out of itâ?¦and then just forgot. :stoned:

So now sheâ??s coming down. Not sure if we should smoke the moldy bud or not. :confused: Oh, and the mold is only on the one, by the way.

We do, however, have plans for these three (11d, 11e, 6d)! We will call them the 3 Yâ??s, because that seems to be the shape theyâ??ve taken from the LSTing. And off they goâ?¦

...to where you might ask?? That is the next surprise! :D:D

[TheGreenFog]

Itâ??s still DAY 133. Weâ??ve harvested what we could, and now itâ??s time to tinker with some toys.

TODAY, WE HAVE A SURPRISE!

Out goes the â??BodomBoxâ??â?¦in comes the CAB OF LIFE to accompany the CLOSET OF LIFE.

The BodomBox worked great. Very easy to manage. But what an eyesore! We did make some mistakes [i.e. not filtering intakesâ?¦not transplanting to full hydroton (we left in the plastic wrappers of the 4 x 4 â??rubix cubeâ??) ;)â?¦not protecting against algae on top of the rock woolâ?¦not vegging long enough, ete.] but overall it was a successful grow. The full final weight pulled will be posted in graph/table formâ?¦I hope. ;)


Soâ?¦now, onto the Rasta Flowering Cab aka the Cab of Life. I am thinking of starting another thread for this cab, maybe in the cabinet/closet section, but Iâ??m not sure if I want to keep up with 2 threads, with as many pics as I have. Whewâ?¦What do you guys think about me making a separate thread for this one cab? Granted, if I do that, I will NOT post the pics in here tooâ?¦they will be separate.

Well, for now, they are going here because there is transplanting to do.

And, down with the curtain, here comes the show!

Right on man, got the girls livin' it up in style now. I'm sure they'll appreciate the change in scenery. I loved the box, but bigger is always better :greenthumb:

[TheGreenFog]

Yea, man...I loved the box too, but she was an ugly biach. I had to dump her for a younger, prettier one. :pimp: That's just how I roll. You should save your 'wanking' until after the update is done, unless you're one of those who can do it over and over...you friggin' perv. ;)

Ok, well, I'm :stoned: enuff for some more updates, how about you guys??

Here we go again...DAY 133/56/48 cont'

We did a lot on this day. Join us for the fun...:yippee:

:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

Ok, here we go. Buy a cabinet. Put it together. Seal cracks as well as possible. Install power strip.

Install fans in a very nifty way. Sorry, no real pics to show the process, but they were done better than on the Bodombox. Streamlined. No duct tape here.


EIGHT - 23w â??Full Spectrumâ?� Compact Flourescents

This is equal to 184w of real light and 800w of so-called â??equivalentâ?? light output. I believe they are 1600 lumens each (8 * 1600= 12800). Weâ??re experimenting. Weâ??ll see about the heat with these fans

CAB OF LIFE

DAY 133/56/48/1 (more #'s that mean more to me than to you)

We put the three Yâ??s (11d, 11e, 6d) from the left side veg area of the Closet into the Rasta Cab of Flowers today

Add some hydroton clay pebbles (always cleaned thoroughly before use!) and some rockwool light-blockers (black underside & white topside) to prevent mold.

The planters (plastic totes) are temporary. The goal with this is to go to an automated ebb & flow system like the main flowering room.

DAY ONE (FLOWER)


SOME MORE NEWS (Splifted, this news is dedicated to you! Lol)

We busted out the expensive seeds.

NL & BG

Northern Lights & Bubblegum

Gotta love that gummi flavor... I canâ??t wait to see what the NL does!

DAY ONE (GERMINATION) NL & BG

We added a couple drops of Superthrive into some pHâ??d water and dipped our papertowel in that for germination.

Enjoy. Oh and yes, those are the 1st harvested plants (1a, 2a, 6a, 9a) curing next to the germination tray.

UP NEXT: The main flowering room...can't wait to seem them beauties! :cool:

[Splifted]

I can't wait to pop some good seeds man, those Rhinos I tried all crapped out on me, and from what SA was saying, the WRs from nirvana standard might be prone to mutants/hermis, since I had that one mutant and she's had lots of probs with them. So I'm not too excited about sprouting anymore of those, but I have 10 seeds so I'm going to anyway. I also have some AK-48 and some kinda sketchy lookin "mystery mix #1" freebies that I think had a cigarette package cellophane holding some seeds :weedpoke:

[TheGreenFog]

MAIN FLOWERING ROOM

DAY 48 of flowering. (~7 weeks)

Everything seems to be going alright. The broken one is recovering, and fattening up. All the others are getting fat and crystally, â??cept number 1 up in the middle there, itâ??s pathetic, you can barely see it.

There should only be 4 in there, but there are five and the one in the middle was smaller than the others, so she is getting all her light blocked from above. Maybe sheâ??ll catchup.

Harvest should be coming soon on these girls. They are seven weeks, but we are seeing some definite sativa traits so they might be longer.

Last pics of DAY 133/56/48/1

DAY 133 from inception (start) of grow
DAY 56 (flower) in the Rubbermaid Flowerbox
DAY 48 (flower) in the Main Flowering Room
DAY 1 (flower) in the ~new~ Cab of Life!

DAY 1 (germinate) for the NL & BS

Wow, that was a lot of work to do on DAY 133. Have you ever built one of those cabinets? Can we say â??time consuming?â??

Well, we have at least accomplished getting more room in the veg area, plus now we have a new flower area. When the BodomBox (Rubbermaid Box) is finished with all of itâ??s flowering, we will most likely retire the eyesore.

Wow, now itâ??s time for me to smoke some herbage.

I packed myself a bowl of #6â?¦ Itâ??s been dried & cured about 3-4 weeks. Iâ??m gonna hit it nowâ?¦

5â?¦4â?¦3...2â?¦1â?¦ â??Fire in the bowl!â?� :smokin:

:baggie: + :pipe: = :D

Wow, that was much better than I was expecting. Still taste a bit of ferts, need to flush better next time, not necessarily longer, just better.

But it was still a real good hitâ?¦and Iâ??m definitely feeling it from the one hit. NICE.

Well, Iâ??m gonna go roll a fatass j of this stuff mixed with some other dankass sh*t I have, then be back with DAY 136! (edit: well, I might hold off on DAY 136 just yet. This was a bigger update than I thought. Iâ??ll give it some time to simmer.)


Tell me what you think. Questions? Did I not explain something clearly enough?

[VOYAGER]

You sure have been busy there fog. The new cab is awesome, the same idea i was going for, for the next grow or so. I'm savin' my pennys for a big boy light and a similar cab. Everytime i walk through wally world now and look at the furniture i say to myself "that would make a great grow cab" unfortunatly i wouldn't be able to fit those bulky ass tubes in there, so if anyone would like to get me a 1000w switchable setup for Xmas, i promise i've been a good boy. Anyhow i loved the update man keep it comin'

[bud breath420]

Lookin good fog my man.. keep up the good work how much longer till harvest on those big suckers?

[Legalizdahurb]

Looking good, nice update. I would halp with the quest for 2 squares but i must spread it around a bit first.

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, guys. Thanks for the words.

~voyager~

Yea, me likes the new cab also. Lacks mylar, but that will be installed shortly, I'm sure. 'You might be a grower if...' ...you visualize every piece of furniture as a growcab...!

~budbreath420~

Hey, man, when you gonna get a growlog going? "budbreath's adventures in hydroponix/soil"? Those big ladies should be coming down anytime now. They are at 7 weeks as of this last update.

~legalizdahurb~

No worries, man. I'm just really joking about the rep points. It's something to pass the time. Now I want everyone to PLEASE LOOK AT ME! (see avatar) LOL....hehe That thing cracked me up when I found it. I couldn't stop laughing...had to use it. There is good news, though...the JOURNAL has been upped to 5 stars again! :D:D

I totally love that you found a use for those cheesy/crappy 4-light fixtures... sweet and a good idea.
The girlies are looking happy soaking up the rays!
Go enjoy your herbage... you certainly deserve it!

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, stinky. Yea, those fixtures are pretty interesting. We'll have to see how well they work and how much heat they cause. I do think they were a good find, for the purpose, that is. It is most definitely an upgrade from the Rubbermaid Box, though. Just needs mylar now.

As far as herbage goes...I sure will smoke some...RIGHT NOW!

Yea...thanks for the idea, girl. Damn, I would've forgotten all about it! :p

Ok, well, these boards are seriously getting dead around here. I'm considering finishing the updates and getting myself banned for a while. That's sexier than just leaving. :cool:

Just kidding...I don't think I'll do that. I have some things to say but I will stifle them because I enjoy being here, even when it IS slow.

:rastasmoke:

TGF

[kdspecial]

Kickin' Ass!!!

I like how you grow in Rockwell and rocks. So neat and tidy. My gf would love the no dirt part.

Do you just let the roots grow into the rocks? What about water pooling in the bottom below the rocks? It looks like a good way of growing.

Looking awsome.


kd

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, KD. What's crack-a-lackin'? :smokin:

Well, yea the rockwool & hydroton definitely makes for a laboratory-type environment. I like it clean. You should try it someday. If it were soil, I'm sure it would all be swept up and kept clean also. :)

*sparks spliff*

So here's how it works. Obviously you use the rockwool as a medium to grow in until the roots start popping out of the rockwool. Then, yes, you just remove the white plastic around the rockwool and set the block into a bed or a pot of hydroton rocks. The roots grow into and around the rocks.

Different systems have been used here in the JOURNAL with regard to the watering and the rocks. In the veg, there are some POTS with the same set up and those are hand-watered. The other plants in there are also being hand watered. Any runoff runs into a drainage system setup. Check out the earlier pics, I'm sure they will show it. If not, future pics will. :)

In the main flowering room, the 5 plants are all sunken into a bed of hydroton and it is set up with an Ebb & Flow system. For those of you who are unfamiliar with that term, that just means that there is a special set of drains that allow water to be pumped in to fill up the planter up to a certain point where it reaches an overflow drain. Then when the pump stops running, all of the water runs back into the resevoir. This is run 2 times daily for approximately 15 minutes, or however it takes for the resevoir to fill up and give the plants some time to drink up. It also soaks the rockwool cubes they are in, so they don't go completely dry.

Hmmm...what else. That's about it. :jointsmile:

Updates? DAY 136? I think.......yes.

I also have 2 cookies and a waterâ?¦FYI. :D:D:D


SO, THREE days have gone by.

Bodom box is at more than 8 weeks. Main flowering is in the 8th week, and we got lots of other exciting stuff to play with! :yippee:

Pic 4 - Clone action. I think these are actually 29 days from first clipping off the mothers. The mothers of these clones were the 2 big suckers we had in the left side veg a while back. We cut them down and threw them out :( on DAY 107. ANYWAY, here are their babies. We will evaluate their worth and see if we will make a mother out of one of them again. :D

MOVING RIGHT ALONGâ?¦

Still DAY 136/59/51

Letâ??s look into our Cab of Secretsâ?¦

Downstairsâ?¦what do we have? Hmmâ?¦

4 jars of icky! Gotta open the jars to air them outâ?¦mmm. They still smell a bit like nutes or chlorophyllâ?¦or something.

And here is a germination tray. It has been 3 days since they were placed in the high-tech, top of the line, one-of-a-kind paper towel/baggie-in-tray system.

We havenâ??t had to add any water to keep it wet since it was first â??wettedâ??. If you zoom, you can see each of the 6 seeds has a small taproot!

Much better than last time. Caught it right as the taproot has come out. Thatâ??s all you need. Time to bust out the rockwool cubes. ~rubs hands together~

Clean some rockwool and get ready to SOW!

:madnoel:

TGF

Edit: Gotta take a short break from updating. Be back later. :D

[TheGreenFog]

Sowing our pricey seeds. :D:D

3 on one side, 3 on the other. In you go, little ones. Go aheadâ?¦ :weedpoke:

Now put them under a humidome, and leave them to sprout. They donâ??t need light â??til theyâ??re out of their holes! Then, close flouro to keep â??em short.

It took 3 days to â??popâ?? from seed to taproot.

:jointsmile:

TGF

Edit: I don't know what I did with the picture of them under the humidome, but you "get the picture."

[TheGreenFog]

DAY 4 FLOWER


NOW we move onto the Cab of Enlightenment. The three Yâ??s. Nothing special except that this is the 2nd CFL flowering of the JOURNAL. That's pretty good stuff! Temps are a little higher than would like. 86F :( The fans seem to be working ok. It might have something to do with the huge gaps in the doors that have not been sealed yet. :p

These babies are now, however, on their 4th day of flowering! I wonder how many days it will take to see the first pistilsâ?¦

Oh, and I just thought of something. Yes, we will most likely be putting up mylar inside soon. :D

:rasta:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

DAY 59 Flower (8.5 weeks)

TO the BodomBox! Itâ??s been 59 days since they were flipped. Weâ??ve harvested 6 so far, I believe. :confused: Losing track of the numbers. :p

This small one in the front got burnt or something. I have no idea what happened to her, but sheâ??s crispy and therefore, getting culled.

:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

We need that Rubbermaid box. Room, room, room.

So, there hereâ??s what weâ??re doingâ?¦

First, we took the 2 we ARENâ??T chopping, and we put them in the Cab of Life (CoL) to finish out.

And thenâ?¦

[TheGreenFog]

NUMBER UNKNOWN

I can't seem to find out which # this is. :(

Anyway...

This one had to be tied down, it was so tall. BiG top cola. Branchyâ?¦very branchy.

So far, the heaviest weighing in at 40.0g wet.

:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

NUMBER UNKNOWN still.

Here is the weight.

Into the dry box. Yep...yep.


:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

Number 10a is stunted and somehow got burned. Weâ??re not really sure what happened to this one, but itâ??s time to yank â??er out.. This WAS one of the three that was â??barelyâ?? even rooted when she was flipped to flower. That might have stunted her a bit.

Upon further inspection, there is a weird white mold on the stem towards the top. Hmmm? We cut around it, removed the mold, and removed any buds that were near the spot and quarantined them in a small cardboard box for drying separately. Should we smoke those? I donâ??t think we will.

This plant is 11.2g wet. Meh

DRY BOX

:rastasmoke: :rastasmoke: :rastasmoke: :rastasmoke: :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

So, we had 4 left in the Rubbermaid box when we started this. We took two and put them in the Cab of Life, and put the other two on the chopping block.

This leaves the Rubbermaid box EMPTY for us to put the mother in! :D:D:D

Weâ??ve been having real problems with space in the veg room, so this will help temporarily until we figure where else to put the mother. For now she will go into the recently vacated Rubbermaid Box. I guess the eye sore is not completely gone yet. It still serves a purpose. :clap:

Here is the mother plant. A little Bonsai pruning, and into the Mama Box she goes.

:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

*takes a deep sigh of relief*

Now that we have some room, we can move around a little bit.


These three plants are destined to be the next in line for the main flowering room. We will LST them, and get them as bushy as we can, then try to do three plants instead of 5
next time. 5 seemed to be too many. However, those five were different looking that what we plan on working with the next time around.

The clones are busting at the seams and ready to be transplanted into their new home.

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

Some more root porn and transplanting pics. Sorry, no soil here, guys.

Rockwool. RINSE it before you use it.

My method:

Rinse in tap water to get out most of the rock fibers, then squeeze out and run through with R/O water or distilled to get it really good and flushed.

Oh, and one more thing, whenever I move the clones from rooted stage into the 4â?� cubes, I spray a diluted solution of pHâ??d water, seeweed extract, and very little bit of SuperThive (just started the ST). Spray a little into the hole, and a little on top.


What else??

Move over, girls, you got company!

Looking forward to seeing the new addition to your log too. I left ya some love over there and bumped ya up. Hope you have some updates coming soon, I sure will! :D


~al b00 b00~

I'm sorry if this comes out rude, but your post makes me believe you are a little too young to be growing. If you can't take the time to read around a little, how are you going to have the time to care for plants everyday?

I mean, I know my thread is a bit large, but most of it is made up of pictures...and some good info. IMO, it's worth reading, and should only take you a joint or three.

There are also tons of threads concerning odor elimination if you just do a search.

Like I said, I don't want to come off as a prick, but your post seemed a little rude the way you worded it. Maybe next time, just ask the question, and leave out the part where you don't have 'time' to read my thread. ;)

In short, my closet smells. There is no real odor elimination going on. There were plans to implement a carbon scrubber, but as of this last update, there has been no real odor prevention installed. I would obviously recommend a carbon scrubber hooked up to an extraction fan, but I have no idea what kind of set up you have, so it would be impossible for me to tell you what I would do anyway...read up, grasshopper. Read up.

Be cool. :jointsmile:

DAY 140/63/55/8

Ok. Weâ??re getting close now. Here we are on DAY 140 since inception. We have a few more flowering clones still hanging on from the â??BodomBoxâ??, and our main flowering room is at 8 weeks today. The new Cab of Life has been flowering now for 8 days.

First pics! Dry Box. We had to look at this first today. Sweet sinsemilla cannabis, baby. For anyone who missed it, these plants were not even supposed to be finished out. We were just sexing our big plants, and we decided to let them go. ... ... Gravyâ?¦. Yea! :D

Still there. Looking a bit droopy. Looking sort of stuntedâ?¦actually kind of what we need right now. We need her to just chill out as we get other things situated, but we donâ??t want her to die. We are feeding her 50% veg solution.

Her leaves are smallâ?¦I believe itâ??s from all the â??choppy, choppyâ?¦â??

Sheâ??s been topped at least 4 to 5 times, hence the 16 topsâ?¦at least. ;)

Ok, these plants are the biggest of the bunch, and therefore, they will be going into the main flowering room. They are nice looking, after having been topped and LSTâ??d a bit. Now, it is time to really spread their legsâ?¦errrâ?¦wingsâ?¦errr..branches! We will do this to allow even more shoots to pop up and join the group.

This particular one here, is decendent of our ever-more popular number 11, called 11a1. In fact it is 3rd generation #11, to be exact. A top of a top of a plant. ;)

Number 6c. Iâ??m not so sure how much I like number six. Weâ??ve always had some type of problem with her, mainly nute burn problems. Nothing spectacular from the Rubbermaid results, so Iâ??d have to say this is going to be her last stand. One more flower for good times, and adieu to her lineage.

OH, and apparently she has not had a pot, so she needs a new home. We will put her in a slightly bigger home with some rocks. Ewwww look at that mold, manâ?¦ Can you say, â??mold-covers?!â?�

looks amazing, good luck with it

[canuck grower]

Ah don't worry about people being quiet, it's just because of the holidays! I haven't read through all 26 pages, but I went through the first 10-12 and skimmed the rest. You've got a nice setup going on there, it makes mine look so amateur, but it is so that's alright. That flowering room is packed and the buds look terrific, congrats! 11b is looking quite chronic.

happy holidays green fog (not fRog ;) )

(this is my first post here, but I'm going to start a grow log today. I have learned a lot from this board and want to give something back!)

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, tuscani, thanks bro. :)

canuck grower, really glad to have you, man! Thanks for the words. I'm glad you decided to join the fun! Thanks for taking the time to read through. That's what it's there for. ;) hehe.

The flowering room IS packed...a little too much. Losing some yield by overcrowding. They should be harvested next week.

Happy Holidays to you too, canuck! I look forward to your LOG!

Ribbit...(new avatar time) Let's see how much this confuses people....hehe

TGF


Oh, and P.S. 15,000 views...w00t. I wonder where all these people are? I also wonder how they count those, and if they count double views, etc?

[invision]

I've always read that it is best avoided taking clones during flowering, which, I know you are aware of. I would always try to follow this, BUT one of the plants in 'my' main room, which also corresponds to one of the plants in the rubbermaid growbox, looks like some really dank stuff and 'I' don't have any remnants of it's kind after these 2 are harvested...

fog you said this in another thread........so i take it you have 2 plants that no longer have clones of them, do you know you can can revert to veg after flower believe it or not?

dont chop her stem, just under the buds and leave some foliage on the plant, then set to 24hrs,give her lots of high N, after 2-3 weeks she will start to grow shoots all over again.

this method is also known as 2nd generation plants.

[Bree1978]

Well Fog, er um Frog, absolutely looking fabulous if I must say...I have one that is 52dy and one that is 75dy that I just put into flowering and they are cowering down to the FrOGgie's gods'....Great grow yet again! Thanks for the updates...B

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, Invision. Thanks. Yea I knew about the reverting to veg thing. I should've thought about that before. One thing, though. That would require revegging a 4.5 foot plant...ummm don't really have the room. Sucks. Damn mistakes. Arg. Anyway gonna start updating here in a few posts. Gotta go to the next page, of course!

Likin' your new grow too Invision! :greenthumb: Grow more this time, man!

fog i just want to you know( not me tho ) anyone on dial up looking at this thread hates you :)

[TheGreenFog]

LOL...I never thought about that. I guess it would take quite a bit to download all these pics.

Well, nothing I can really do about that. I've had access to high-speed for quite a while, so I guess I'm spoiled. Even the way I access, through a proxies in diff locations, have at least T1 so I guess I'm lucky.

SORRY to those of you who are using dial-up but I thank those of you who keep up with the thread despite this fact. THANKS!

I will NOT stop adding so many pictures. It is for my own entertainment, too! hehe

Getting close to those updates. Any minute now! ;)

DAY 142/65/57/10

Welcome back to TGF TV!

Just two days elapsed this time. We had to come back to do some work. There is at least one plant to harvest, new seedlings to check on, LSTâ??d plants to evaluate and adjust, and some BIG NEWS in the main flowering room! Weâ??ve got a good hundred pics for ya today. Bring your joint papers. ;)

Weâ??ll start off with the Cab of Luscious Flowersâ?¦

In here, we have three Y-shaped plants (6, 11, 11) on their 10th day of flowering. They are just now starting to show sex. They have pistils sticking out all pretty and so forthâ?¦:D


:rastasmoke:


TGF

[TheGreenFog]

Still in the COL.

These two ladies have been in here more than nine weeks (Well, in the Bodom most of the time, then here).

12b looks like sheâ??s ready now. Câ??mon downâ?¦


:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

Donâ??t forget to keep those close leaves full of trichs for hashmakingâ?¦

[TheGreenFog]

Number 12b. Not too bad. 29.4g wet. Estimate 6g dryâ?¦? Weâ??ll see.

One more to go from the Rubbermaid â??BodomBox.â?� :D


:rastasmoke:

The Fog (TGF)

[BlueCat]

This has been so helpful to me...thanks greenfog!

[TheGreenFog]

Onto the DRY BOX. These have been drying close to a week. Time to pull em down, weigh them, and jar them for curing.

13a - 5.4 dry w/stem 4.2 dry w/o stem
5a â?? 10.2 dry w/stem 7.3 dry w/o stem

Weigh in to be continued on next postâ?¦


:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

This is where it gets sketchyâ?¦numberwise.

I believe this is number 10â?¦that would be sad. Two separate parts due to mold isolation.
Total dry weightâ?¦ = 2.5g

Donâ??t know the number of this oneâ?¦off hand.

DRY 2.5g w/stem 1.4 w/o stem

Have a nice dayâ?¦

Wanna see some MORE harvest pics? :D:D:D:D:D


:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

DRY BOXâ?¦that is number 12b hanging in there. Those baggies are drying leaf material for hash making.

Got JARSâ?¦! I donâ??t know if weâ??ll end up with the right number of jars to coincide with the plants we started with, but whateverâ?¦there it isâ?¦cannabis.

Jar it upâ?¦cure itâ?¦smoke it. Nice.

I donâ??t know exactly how much is in all of those jars combinedâ?¦

There are still 2 more plants to go, each giving about 5g or soâ?¦

10 or so plants times 5gâ?¦Iâ??d say ballpark close to 2 ounces. Not quite, but close.

Not too shabby for the sexing box, eh? :D


Some other notes I have:

Number five was enough to fill more than one small jarâ?¦we moved to the med size.

Some of the herb still has a chemical smell to it. :( Some is getting better. :D:D

[TheGreenFog]

Time to pay our regular visit to our mother. Hi, mom. Howâ??s the new apartment? A little hot? Ok, Weâ??ll move ya down a little.

So she seemed to be too close to the lights. We had room to move her down, so we did that. Also, did some routine pruning of unhealthy leaves.


:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

Check on the Veg room.

Those big plants we LSTâ??d last time (two days ago) are doing better. Starting to curl up and grab at that light. The insides are starting to bush up a bit tooâ?¦LST rocks, guys. It rocks. Splifted's not the only one who can do it. hehehe :weedpoke:

[TheGreenFog]

More Pics of the LSTâ??d girls and then some pics of the others we are vegging to put into the cab and main room on the THIRD run! Those have not been topped yet. Some are upstairs with the NL & BG, too. Speaking of whichâ?¦letâ??s check on them next!

Edit...the last pic, we have moved the bigger clones down from up top to be with their sisters because we are going to give the NL & BG some room/privacy.


:rastasmoke:

The Fog (TGF)

[TheGreenFog]

NL & BG update.

They are nowâ?¦errrâ?¦9 days from germination. They popped in 2-3 days, I believe, shot straight up in 4 more days, then for the last 2 days, they have had some light.

I still do not like how long their stalks are starting. Normally, Iâ??d tell a soil grower that they should probably bury that plant into some more dirt up close to those first leaves, but this is not dirt, therefore, we must figure out a better wayâ?¦

Let me get my pioneering hat onâ?¦ :pimp: :rasta:


:rastasmoke:

TGF

[TheGreenFog]

ROCKWOOL: Burying your stretched seedling stem.

This is just an idea that â??sproutedâ?? from the necessity to reduce the stretching in the seedling. Last run, the original plants (those from seed) stretched so much in their early life, that they became unmanageable. We swore this would not happen here, but it has already begun to plague us.

Our remedyâ?¦emergency rockwool surgeryâ?¦get your notebook out.

Normally, we would go from 1.5â?� x 1.5â?� cubes to 4â?� x 4â?� cubes. The way we do this, is to simply set the smaller cube into the larger cube, as the larger cube has the top bored out of it.

We will adjust the placement of the HOLE. Cut the hole out. Wet everything as normal. Slice a slit into the coreâ?¦like a hotdog bun. Clip core onto stem on top of original rockwool cubeâ?¦likeâ?¦ummâ?¦a fishing weight??

The pictures explain the rest. Any questions, just ask. :D


:rastasmoke:

TGF

Did someone say FAQ??

[TheGreenFog]

ROCKWOOL surgery continuedâ?¦

CAREFULLY, slide this set up back into the (now longer) hole in the 4â?� cube. Voila! You have solved your long stemmy problem! Brilliant!

Main Flowering Room Week 9 DISASTER!

DAY 142/65/57/10

This is DAY 57 of the flowering in the main flowering room.

We have a DISASTER on our hands!

Hermie noticed (#13). We have a seed already! Sh*t! Bananas all over. Trichomes still bright white. This we think is a sativaâ?¦but hermie!?!? Son of a bitch. :(

WE had planned to let it go at least another week or TWO. But now??

Others in the main flowering room look alright. I think #9 is ready. At least the top of it. Not bottom. Others are close.

This one that has the bananas, it is the one that had severe nute deficiencies early on (stress)â?¦oh and then I snapped the bitch in half (ummâ?¦stress) and then taped her back together. I believeâ?¦the hermie culprit wasâ?¦uhâ?¦STRESS. Damn.

Whatâ??s worse, there is already a seedâ?¦only one that we see right nowâ?¦but how did we not notice this before?

I am hoping that it is too late into flowering to affect or to allow for seed development. :praying:


KEEP LOOKING DOWN FOR THE HERMIE PICS AND SEED.

fog i dont know if anyone said this but get your plants out of those clear tubs or cover them with something, miss Jane hates light on her privates.

thats why you see brown of the roots, that is root rot from light.

c'mon man dont make me come there and fix your shit myself.

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, man. So you are talking about the Cab of Life, right? Well, yea I know...they will get moved, I'm sure. The brown roots you see are from a plant that was MOVED in there from another place...no worries. Thanks though.

[xblackdogx]

TGF or anyone:
is 5gr/plant normal when using CFLs!?

thanks alot...

and if it was, was it b/c of not enough light penetration? if he arranged the setup better would/could he have gotten more?

either way: TGF, sweet veg room ops and your flowering garden looks wicked!!

ohhh wtf ahhahhhahhh wow 28 pages and im left hangin great grow dude a real inspiration the person who left that notebook is the coolest mother fucker ever kudos

[TheGreenFog]

Well, HELLO!! :cool:

~xblackdogx~
No, that 5g per plant is not a good representative of possible yield. If all goes well, the three plants that are in the Cab of Life now should yield close to an ounce per. Hopefully. We'll see. Maybe not number 6, but we're counting on the 11s. Thanks.


~masterjointsmith~

Hey, don't mean to leave you hanging. It's just the New Year, so I gotta take a quick leave. Was lucky to be able to log in today. I can't do the full update today, but I'll throw you guys a little teaser of what will be in store for the next update. :D:D:D:D:D

[canuck grower]

Hi TGF,

Happy new year to you as well! I quit smoking cigs sometime in November (I think) because I was broke for a few days. I figured I should go with it and now it's been, well it's been however long it's been. I sincerely wish you the best on that resolution and it is the one you should try and stick to most (in my opinion anyway). :cool:

Those teaser pics are sweet! That looks like a delicious harvest and I can't wait to see all of those heavy buds cut down. You are like a bud-porn wholesaler! :D The dried bud from the mini-harvest in the COL looked really tasty, and that was just a few wee nugs.

-canuck :jointsmile:

[canuck grower]

Oh yeah one more question, what are bananas? You mention them when you talk about the hermie. :( I think I see what you are talking about in the photo (the thing that looks neither like bud nor seed, line through the middle of it lengthwise) but I haven't heard about them before. Am I looking at the right thing?

[kindprincess]

banana's are male flowers. they look like mini bananas...

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOG!!!!

Hey, guys & gals. Iâ??m finally back. Woohoo! :D:D

I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I sure did. :D I will have to share some of the stories sometime when I get a chance after all the updating.

Speaking of that, I will be trying to get that big harvest update posted within the next couple of days. I had planned to work on it during the break, but you know how it isâ?¦

First, some responses to messages left for me whilst I was away:


~floyd2zapper~

Thank you, I try to keep the JOURNAL as comprehensive as possible, both for documentation purposes and everyoneâ??s amusement. Remember, this is for entertainment purposes only. :)


~KP~

Much love to you too! :D The threadâ??s gettinâ?? to be a monster, eh? Itâ??s a shame, too cuz then people donâ??t wanna read through the whole thing. :(


~canuckgrower~

Hey, man. I stopped by your thread, you seem to be doing very well. Keeping the updates nice and clearâ?¦and thorough. Nice.

As far as the harvest goes, yes I canâ??t wait to see those buds cut downâ?¦againâ?¦too! :D I am trying my best to get them up today or tomorrow. There are about 170 pictures of DAY 146! :eek:

Regarding the hermie pics, yes, if you go to post #673 (on page 27) and look at picture #3, you will see the male â??bananaâ?? flowers to the left of the seed. They look like a bunch of bananas, even more so if you spread them apart. These apparently grow on hermaphrodite plants. They are different from the male pollen sacks that grow on male plants and look like little footballs on sticks. Either way, they spread pollenâ?¦and that sucks. BEWARE OF BANANAS. Keep your eyes out throughout the flowering stage for signs of these. Obviously, someoneâ??s eyes were not peeled and that part was neglected. :(

Grassy-ass for the support, man. :D:D


~ridethefire~

Thanks for the words, man. Iâ??m glad my presence at least means something to someone. :p Thanks for bumping my thread. :D


~w33dman27~

w00t! Love harvest pics, man. I dunno why more people donâ??t post them. They are one of my favorite parts of a grow, jeez. You get to look at what youâ??re gonna smoke!

One question, thoughâ?¦I am colorblind, so help me outâ?¦where do you see Purple?

Yea, I shouldâ??ve posted a pic using that bud as a pseudo-phallus like Iâ??ve seen in some other pics. ;) hehe


~Abunai~

Thanks, man! You are definitely NOT wasting valuable space. Thanks for the props, bud. I hope you stick around to see the rest of the JOURNAL! Still got LOTS more left! :yippee:


~Bluecat~

Thanks for the vibes. I appreciate it. Iâ??m really trying. Iâ??ll update you guys when I have been smoke (cigs) free for a month or two. That is the first difficult hurdle. Cigarettes suck!


~bud breath420~

Hey, man. Glad you are sticking around. I think you were one of the first people to post a reply in this thread. You are one of the ones that have really had the chance to see the whole grow process. Hope you enjoy the harvest pics. Wish I could break you off a nug. :thumbsup: Catch ya in chat sometime. I still donâ??t like your sig. ;) hehe


Well, guys, that was my welcome back postâ?¦quite long, I know. Now, letâ??s see if I can get some updates goingâ?¦itâ??ll take me quite a while, Iâ??m sure, so donâ??t hesitate to check back in from time to time.

Fog, welcome back! :D Glad you had a nice vacation.

170 pics from one day, holy fuck Batman! That's awesome. Holiday's over man you better get crackin' with those pics! ;)

Those things do look just like bananas, I went back and had a look after KP explained it. Lucy's stretchy so I have to keep an eye out for bananas in case she's not just stretching for light.

Anyway take some time to settle back in and don't hurry too much to update this thread. I really should go back and read the last 10 pages properly instead of just skimming and looking at photos. Maybe today.

[Kb420Kb]

Nice man.. I bet you got a shit load of bud from all this. Hahaha, I have my own thread because I am going to start growing 1 plant to see if I can grow good or not and you gotta give me tips :)

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, canuck, yea...I just looked, it's actually like 183 pics. Dunno if I'll post all of them, but it sure will be close to that number because there are not very many 'bad' pics...and every pic shows something new...I like to let everyone see EVERYTHING so you feel as much as a part of the grow as I do. :)

Hey, Kb420Kb, looking forward to your log. I'll keep up with it. Make sure you post lots and lots of pics! :D Good luck with that one plant. I would be terrified to only grow one plant. If if is male, you have learned how to grow...kind of...then you have to start over. If it dies, you have no back up. Plus, the main reason, is that with only one plant, I believe people tend to over-care for the plant and kill it with kindness.

I'm not saying in that any of this will happen to you, I'm just giving you my take on it and maybe giving you some things to think about when growing your one plant. Good luck, again! :D

DAY 146/69/61/14

Well, here goes some updates, guys. Iâ??m going to start with the â??roundsâ?? first, then weâ??ll get into the harvest.

Veg room

Plants doing ok. LST is doing good.

There are 10 plants downstairs. Three large ones being LSTd and 7 others that are smaller and vegging. These 7 are from the 3rd round of clones.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Clone Shelf

There are two of the 3rd round of clones in the backâ?¦they are up here because of space concerns. The others are â?¦.what do ya knowâ?¦the NL & BG. These seedlings are 13 days old from papertowel today.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Mother Box (former Rubbermaid bloombox)

Sheâ??s still alive. Sitting in there chilling. Getting a big cramped in there for her. Not quite the size of a bonsai, but weâ??ll work on that. Part of the experiment is just to see how long we can keep a mother alive. I donâ??t know the exact date she was cut from the original #11, but it wasnâ??t too long away from DAY 1. Iâ??ll figure it out soon and let you guys know how old she is.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Cab of Life

Ok, well, we have our three subjects in here, they have been LSTâ??d and flowered back on day 133, I believe. That would make them about 14 days old {in flower} as of today.

They are definitely showing sex and starting to bud. You can see the white â??hairsâ?? (pistils) in the pics. There is also a number 11 still left over from the BodomBox in here. We have attempted to follow the trichome color on this one to harvest it. It is taking foreverâ?¦:( This also worries us because that means our Mother plant will also take that longâ?¦and the two plants in this COL on the right side are also number elevensâ?¦sigh.

Maybe we can speed things up by breathing on them more oftenâ?¦;)

The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

More pictures of the COL. Take a look at the pistilsâ?¦the LSTingâ?¦and the ....other stuff. :D


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Taking a quick smoke break from updatingâ?¦not cigarettesâ?¦but oooh that would be niceâ?¦Ahhh no, I mean NO. :(

Now that we have made our rounds, itâ??s time to go to the main flowering room. We are chopping today. Go back to page 28 to see the updates I just posted. ;)

As a small recap, they have gone 61 days in flower as of today. One of them was snapped (and then taped back upright) a while back, and we believe that this contributed to this particular plant becoming a hermie. It grew bananas (male hermie flowers) and pollinated the whole crop. We will chop them now in hopes that we do not allow the seeds to mature within the other plants. We might be too late because weâ??ve already seen at least one seed inside the bud of the shameful plant.

I will start off with some final pictures of the main room and then move on to the harvesting pics. I will bring you through every step, with lots of pics, of course. It might take me a minute to get it all gathered together, but it will hopefully be up by tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

Be back in a while with more good stuff. ;)

looking good fog :)

dude you really need to mylar in that cab of life, if you cant get some man ill gladly mail you some for free :)

another thing......i dont know if you looked into it or not but your plants in the cab of life would take off like a rocket if you added a small aquarium air pump to bubble the water in the bins.

look into it, it will only cost you maybe 20 bucks for all the supplies needed to do it.

[TheGreenFog]

Ok, here we go.

~canuck~

Hey man I'm glad you took the time to read through. I'm glad at least some people have more of an attention span than a toddler. ;) I know now that you have finished, you are pacing and walking in circles trying to figure out what you're going to do now...

No worries...I have good news...HERE COME the updates. Ping! ;)

~Invision~

Mylar, yes, I know. Airstone...well, they are hand watered, so...

Thanks for the suggestions. Hope your plants are doing better.



NOW ONTO THE UPDATES. w00t!

Let me go grab a joint or two, and we'll get rolling...ha! Get it?! :p



The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Ok, guys, here you go. Harvest Picsâ?¦get your googlies out. :smokin:

DAY 61 of flower in the main flowering room

We have 5 plants in there total (#13, #9, #1, #2, #4)

You can barely see number 1 way down in the middle thereâ?¦but sheâ??s there. Getting no lightâ?¦completely overshadowed by the others. Noteâ?¦five large plants is too many.

Our first thought was to chop the top colas and leave the bottom buds for a week or two more to fatten upâ?¦butâ?¦

We have decided to chop the plants today due to the fact that they have been pollinated (by hermie number 13) recently and we would like to prevent any developing seeds from having a chance to mature. Plusâ?¦it would be a pain to chop just tops, etc. Cutting main stalks this time.

Letâ??s first take a good last look around the closet before it goes emptyâ?¦(sniffle)


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Bud shotsâ?¦not High Times materialâ?¦but aspiring to be. ;)


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

The buds are getting heavyâ?¦weighing down the branches.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Noooooooooooooooooo

Choppinâ?? Broccoliâ?¦.choppinâ?¦choppinâ?¦choppinâ?¦choppinâ ?¦.brooooccooli.


Number 13 time to chop. Bitch pollinated the whole cropâ?¦she was a bad girl. Argh! Time to come down.

Cut at the anklettes.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Hermie pics. Look at those disgusting bananas. I never want to eat a banana again in my life. :(

And there is a pic with the tape still on the stem from where it snapped. Look how it grew back under the tape. Eww.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Still on #13

One more herm pic.

Look at the walking stick.

Number 13 covers one large kitchen trash bag.

Not trimmed up yet. Just cut the branches off the stalk.


One downâ?¦4 to go.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

#9

Ok. Now weâ??re gonna do #9. She is in the back. She seems to have caught a LOT of pollen. Seeds everywhere. Frigginâ?? gross. Eww. All of the seeds I see are white and do not look mature. Looks like they matured just enough to be a nuisance.

Not sure why I cut this one branch off the plant before it was cut down, but it shows the seeds clearly. The buds with the seedsâ?¦well, they just donâ??t really look like developed buds. The seeds ruined the buds. :(


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

#9
Pic # 1& 2 - I just like these two pics, especially the second one. Chomp #9.

Pic #3 - Then, we have plant #2. It was only topped once, obviously. Nice big tuning fork this one was in the right near cornerâ?¦it seems to have been somewhat protected from the flying pollen. The buds seem much fatter and you canâ??t really see many seeds on the outside.

Pic #4 â?? just a picture of the joint where the two tops came out. Those joints amaze meâ?¦they are like an arthritic knuckle.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

#4

Pic #1-4 â?? Plant #4. This one was in the far rear corner and looks like it was the most protected from the pollen. Itâ??s buds seem the most dense of all and it is most definitely the one with the most trichomes. It is sticky on the fingers alreadyâ?¦and thatâ??s just the stem.

Pic #5 â?? The only one left is number 1. It looks so crappy. This one was stuck in the middle of the other four. It was getting very little light and looks as such. Itâ??s buds are very small, yet have a decent number of trichomes. We have decided to let this one go a little longer, mostly due to the fact that I donâ??t really have the room to chop itâ?¦:eek:

Darn, itâ??s getting to look quite empty up in there. Sad, yet happy all at the same time!


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Here are some more pictures of chopping #4. I love how many trichomes this biach has on her. So fuzzyâ?¦so stickyâ?¦so lovely.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Last pics of #4. I told you there were lots of pics. ;) I have about 15 pics of the individual buds, but Iâ??m not going to put those on here.

Iâ??m seeing good things in #4â??s futureâ?¦unfortunatelyâ?¦I have no clones of her. :( Maybe I will get some good viable seeds from herâ?¦although they will be crossed with #13. Meh.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Would anyone like to come sleep on this bedâ?¦? :D *raises own hand* hehe

These are not trimmed yet. Just cut off the stalks (except for #2, which is obviously standing up there).

Almost forearm sized buds. I guess if you were a girl, theyâ??d be. Ha.

Trimmed up #13.

Trimmings from the plants (fan leaves - left) and close trimmings from #13 (for hash â?? right)


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

More trimmingsâ?¦sticky scissors.

FAT CALYXESâ?¦w00t!

Ok that is it for DAY 149/69/61/14

Enjoy. I'll be back later. That took forever. Whew.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[canuck grower]

Hey fog, I packed a big bowl :bong: for this update. HUGE! :D

That is one nice cornucopia of bud! Really nice photos too, I felt like I was there, and wish I was :). Whether or not High Times publishes them they got me hard. Ha ha, not really but pretty close. #4 is a sexy bitch.

Reading your log was fun, and you worked a lot to post it all it's a waste to pass up the opportunity. Now that I know a little more about the process it was very engaging. I too snapped a plant's stem albeit not one as big as that. We knew we could only keep a few though so regardless of what sex it may have been we tossed it. Not in a salad. ;) RIP

I don't like bananas anyway, except in milkshakes and shit. I found one on Lucy. Fucking bananas! :( Where that stem healed it looks a lot of a human scab eh? It was nice to see #13 hang, that hermaphrodite whore.

That's really too bad about the seeds. Looks like some of #9 is basically unsmokeable. You should burn a white seed to see if they pop. Someone here probably already knows.

So that's around 1185g wet right? You ain't doin' too bad if you get 20% of that dry man! That's around a 1/2 lb if my stoned math is right. I said, nice one bruv! Fuckin' nice one! BRUUVVAAAAAAAA!!! :thumbsup: :D

Seriously, congrats on a great first harvest! I'm impressed. :)

Take it easy man, :cool:

[Kindbud]

absolutely incredible grow man. Nice buds dude, seems like a success, I hope to get that much yieldage off 4 :P Later !

[faithlessxxx]

Rofl, I thought I invented the cardboard box trick ;)

[xblackdogx]

you should have harvested diff parts of the plant at diff times...
but FUCKING ENJOY

you are awesome!

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, guys & gals. Thanks for the words, for sure.

canuck, thanks for the nice reply post. I'm glad you are thorough like me. :) I'm gonna have to do some researching on your thread soon. Seems like you haven't been updating much recently.

ridethefire, thanks for the ovation! I thought I was special, but then saw Splifted got the same one. :( j/k thanks man. Keeping my eye on your grow.

floyd2zapper, don't be modest. You know that you are the bad influence here. ;) You're gonna pull more than that measly little stash. Anyday now, eh?

Kindbud, thanks. I don't see why you couldn't. With all the info on here...whoa!

faithlessxxx, yea...I'm sure you did. And I invented post-it notes...:p Where'd faithless go? Upside-down beagle?

xblackdogx, read post #705. Thanks, man! :thumbsup:


BUT, just when you thought it was over...there is more...oh yes, there is more. I'm not sure if I will keep this thread going or not. I will most likely start a new log (maybe in the log section) about the NL & BG, and also already have the Cab of Life thread up, so we'll see. I think this thread might become a monster eventually...:p What do you guys think I should do? Still got lots of JOURNAL left. New thread...keep monster thread?


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[stinkyattic]

I think if you start another thread it should also be a 'madman' thread!!
Wow, those harvest pics are ummmmmy and I want to sleep in that bed too! You got a lot of bulk off those plants!

[BlueBear]

Well, it feels like I've mist a major cultural event like Star Wars or Night Rider, guess before I start asking questions I should go back and read the whole thread to get an idea of your trials and tribulations so I can relive them with you, kind of like little house and the prayery, LOL.
I will venture to ask one question, why didn't you guys pick off the bananas? Be careful with any clones from that plant because hermyism, new word,, can be genetic and past down threw the offspring. I know you said you think it is from the snapping, but just keep a heads up on it, but I am sure if I go back and catch up on the earlier episodes I will find out that the girl was JR Yuing's daughter by Bobby Yuings wife and she was stressed out when she didn't get to be invited to JR's funeral so she jumped out of a 2 story window and broke her arm, and so on, Dallas if you didn't know.
Adieu

[ridethefire]

If it's any consolation, I posted it on yours first.:rastasmoke:


:joint1:

[canuck grower]

Yeah I was a little lazy with the updates over the weekend. :baggy:

I think a new grow warrants creating a new thread. Stinky's suggestion of keeping madman in the title is a good one; you are The Green "Madman" Fog. :)

If you keep this one going you should try the new log on page 31, if at all possible. That would be a nice way to cram 2-in-1. :twocents:

-canuck :jointsmile:

[Bree1978]

Sorry I missed your log completion :mad: ...i think I felt a slight spanking as punishment...sorry fog...great grow. Sabrina

[brookerosebud]

heh, the mad green fog man :p

[TheGreenFog]

Stinky, yea...the bed is comfy, I'm sure. :) The weight seemed acceptable, eh?


BlueBear, Yea, man, I'm surprised you never posted. I guess it's just an overwhelming thread for some. Hope you enjoy it. Little House...LOL. Little Closet with a Prarie...maybe. :)

Didn't pick off the nanners cuz it was too late...and too many of them. No worry about clones...there were none from that plant. Unfortunately, there were none from the best plant, #4 either...but maybe there will some viable seed. x :p

I doubt the hermie trait is genetic, because there was a test clone of this plant flowered in the CFL box and it was fine. Just don't go snapping little girls arms and stuff and you should be fine. ;) It was more like snapping her at the waist, though. Not the arm. :(


ridethefire, Thank you. I am consoled. :stoned:


canuckgrower, You better get on those updates...:) As for me, I am slacking myself too...I guess just trying to decide in what format I will post them. Got LOTS more pictures, of course, though. :D


Bree, I wondered where you ran off to. Glad you're back. Who said the JOURNAL was complete? ;) There's lots more where that came from. STAY TUNED. hehe.


brookerosebud, Hey! It's been a while. :) How's life on your side? The mad green fog? Hmmm. Well...here's a pic of me on vacation (see below)


DonSmokin, I took a quick peek. From first glance, it looks like a N deficiency to me. What are you feeding? What is your soil? Start a log and link me so you can give more info. Thanks. Good luck with your donations. :p



Well, peeps. I'm still not sure whether I'm going to start a new log or not. I've already started one for the Cab of Life and I'm considering starting one for the NL & BG...but then there will also be the main flowering room that will be in action...plus exciting developments (topping, LST, training) in the veg/clone/mother rooms! Ohhhh what to do?

I'm sure that if I continue on with this thread, many people will be so intimidated by it's size (like Bear-dog, hehe) and not look at all! I mean...it's not even a lot of reading...it's a friggin' weed comic book...pictures and all! :)


We'll see, I guess. I should at least post the next update while I figure it out, huh? ;)


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[c of green]

nice looking harvest fog.mine should be coming up soon but i kept my plants smaller than yours.cant wait though
and you shouldn't start a new thread..if they are intimidated then they will just have to miss out.
i just pulled a nanner off of my widow.just one on the tip of one bud and i caught it very early.i should have waited and got the pollen out of it.o well.
keep up the good work:)
*hey.........um.......i updated a little............*wish i had the time to update as well as you do

[canuck grower]

You better get on those updates...:) As for me, I am slacking myself too...I guess just trying to decide in what format I will post them. Got LOTS more pictures, of course, though. :D

I'm trying to do better. Female's can be pretty distracting. What can you do eh? I need to get some pics up soon! They're piling up. :)

[brookerosebud]

hi fog, all's well over here, i may just start a post or something...

love, brooke:p

[TheGreenFog]

Hey peeps...

Yea, COG, I'll be checking yours out. Glad you caught that male piece of crap :). I'll probably keep the thread rollin'. :D

canuck, wait til I get a little time...I got some things up my sleeve. Mua ha ha ha ha ha!

Brooke, What's your thread gonna be about? :)


I gotta go work on some updates...I hope I can get some up this week. :smokin:



The Fog :rastasmoke:

[dutch.lover]

Hey Fog, just thought I would drop by and say Hi, as I haven't posted on this thread yet...a little late, I know! Your harvest pics are pretty sweet, they're making me anxious for my own harvest. Also, the pic you posted quite a while back of a purple bud looked amazing! I can't stop looking at that pic!

My advice about whether or not to start a new thread, would be yes, start another. Admittedly, this is the first time I checked out your thread...the length of it is certainly deterring, not cause im lazy, but cause i have noticed that a lot of long threads often end up totally of topic and pointless...like they will evolve into something else. Anyways, I have skimmed a few pages of your log and will probably read the rest someday. I am looking forward to following your next endeavour from the start! Talk to you later.

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, dutchy.

I keep looking for the pic of the purple bud that everyone keeps talking about. I'm colorblind so I would have a hard time spotting it if it was subtle, but I don't remember ever seeing it before...maybe it was just the lighting? Anyway, thanks for the compliments. I love those harvest pics myself. :)

As far as starting a new thread, I'm sure I will start some spin-off threads like the Harvest thread, the NL & BG that are coming up, and like the one I already have in the Grow Log sub-forum, but I'm pretty sure I will be continuing to update this thread the most.

It is long, but click on just about any page and you will find anywhere between 50-100 pictures, plus I've done my best to make the text as reader-friendly as possible. I really don't see that it is very difficult to read...seeing as we ARE on a forum. ;) Many people have told me that they have sat down and taken a couple joints to read it and they are happy they did. Then all you have to do is just keep checking back as I update every week, if not more.

Also, I cover every aspect of the grow and discuss almost every subject imaginable. Someone pointed out to me one day in chat, that if you do a search for almost ANY subject or keyword, you will find JOURNAL OF A MADMAN on the first page of search results. ;) That's pretty cool, I guess.

I guess I'd say, if it wasn't MY thread...I'd read it anyway. :p

I'm working on some new updates as we speak and I've already got them fired up and ready to go...so look for them coming up soon.

Thanks for tuning in to TheGreenFog TV! :D :D


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[canuck grower]

The only one I can think of that looks purple is the one of the FAT calyx you posted in the calyx thread. In #717 here the last 2 pics look sort of purplish but when you see them full size it looks like the light playing tricks.

I know I'm still slacking on updates. I have pics and things just haven't found the time to post in the evening recently. I'll get to it I promise! :)

Did you lose your tricks waaay up your sleeve or something? ;) This much time without any new pics or info is almost eerie in the Madman's Journal. :D

-canuck :jointsmile:

[canuck grower]

/me pokes TheGreenFog... hey buddy where are the updates? Hope everything's going well with you man. You sure have been laying low around here the last 10 days. :jointsmile:

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, guys & gals. Sorry I've been neglecting the thread for so long. I've been very busy and then just plain lazy when it comes to typing up the updates.

HOWEVER, there will be some coming...and when they do...they will be plentiful and massive (like the buds we love). ;)

Canuck, thanks for keeping me honest. I've seriously gotta get those updates going. It's been over 20 days since last time I posted a pic on here. This is probably gonna be the ONLY page in my thread WITHOUT any pics...eerie, eh?

I'm glad you've been taking my place while I've been 'gone.' I've been keping my eye on your thread & I'll be visiting today sometime to leave you some love, but seems like you're doing well. Your thread looks familiar somehow. ;)

Oh...also, I've been fiddling with this video editing program and came up with a little (poor quality) stop motion video that I'll be posting today with any luck! I'll add it into my sig when I do. Keep an eye out. Maybe this will lead to many more videos from TheGreenFog TV! Stay tuned!

Ok, well, that's all for now. I hope to be back within a couple hours working on some updates...if not...they'll be here soon. I'll definitely put SOMETHING up for your enjoyment today. :) Stay high. RastafarI.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[TheGreenFog]

Check it out guys:


TheGreenFog TV - "Spliff Assist #1" (NEW! Video) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfCq6lheCk4)

Had a couple minutes, and of course I was stoned, so I decided to fool around with making a "stop motion" video. It didn't come out exactly how I wanted, mainly because I didn't plan to do it and didn't set anything up correctly, but instead of waiting to do it right, I thought I'd throw this one up here for you guys to see.

I added in some other bud pics & some pics of the blunt I rolled for the Blunt Rolling Contest '07. And of course, the music is the sh*t.

This will hopefully be the first installment of several videos to come from TheGreenFog TV. This is a work in progress, so your feedback is welcome and appreciated. Stay tuned for more!

OH, and I wanted to also say that those joints in there are not really representative of what I usually roll. I usually make them straighter. After I made the video, I was ashamed at my own joints. Ha...but I had broken up a bunch of bud, so I just rolled a bunch real quick for the vid.


Hope you enjoy!!

[Scarlet Sky]

hiya f<r>og!

i cant believe you said my plants look unhealthy...

:D

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, Scarlet Sky! Do I recognize you from somewhere? ;)

I didn't mean that (the unhealthy plant remark) in a bad way at all. I definitely didn't mean to hurt your feelings. :( I will go look at your thread and reconsider my evaluation, but I just said it...well, because that's what I saw at first glance. I believe I made somewhat of a disclaimer in there too. :p

I'd much rather be told that my plants looked like something was wrong (which I have been told), than have people 'blow smoke up my ass' by telling me that they look wonderful when they don't. If they did that, then I would never learn how to fix them, eh?

Welcome to the boards, much love and respect, and good luck with the war. :D

Did you take a peek at the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfCq6lheCk4)? What did you think? :)


I didn't get to do any updates today ... :( but hopefully they'll be up soon. Then you can tell me how unhealthy mine look. ;)

Imma go skin one up and have a good day! :D:D:D:D


Be cool. RastafarI.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

[Scarlet Sky]

hey f<r>og... i gess the pix of the flowering moms threw you off. they look odd, i'll admit, but that's because of 30-40 branches per plant fighting and stretching for dominance (not to mention the stretching caused by the super phosphate...

hmmm, i seem to recall a misty f<r>og in a past life or something... idk, i probably smoke too much :D

[bud breath420]

Ahh Tgf my man its been a while.. ive kept up with your thread i just havnt found the time to post.. ive been far too busy with things lately.. time to kick back and relax id say..

Btw!! those buds look awesom mate!!!.. they look realy good i hope you enjoyed them.. hope to catch up sometime in chat... :S5: :S5:

[Hound]

I have finally read all of this thread. Love the grow:D . I am on dialup as well and only got a few of the bigger pictures but I still think you should continue the thread.

I actually stopped by to talk about your â??Closet of Lifeâ??. Have you looked into one of these types of fluorescent lights? You can see one here Sunblaster 200 Watt - Flourescent Bulbs (http://progressive-growth.com/proddetail.php?prod=sb200&cat=8) or you can go to there home page of the guys that make it Future Harvest Development : : Lighting for Indoor Gardening (http://www.extremegrowing.com/lighting.html) the only thing is that they donâ??t seem to have updated their website with the new light (just out).

I am not trying to sell these to you and I would upload a couple of picture of my plant that is under this light but canâ??t seem to figure that out (newbie at this board). But the lights do such a good job on veg and I will soon find out how they do on flower too. Sorry to say that the plant I have is going to be for seed since I got some feminized seed and grew just one (wanted to make mistakes slowly) and it turn out to be a male :( but I look on the bright side and started another plant (hopefully female) and am going to seed it so I donâ??t have to buy seeds in the future (at least no that kind).

Hope this helps.


PS: can you tell me how to upload pictures. TIA;)

[Chronic Chrissy]

I need to sit down and read this whole thread. I do know what you mean about blowing smoke Fog, sometimes I wonder.

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, guys. Thanks for stopping by the thread and keeping it alive.

budbreath420, it's been a while. Glad to see you're still around. Thanks for the props.

Hound, I dunno about those lights. I believe they may work. Haven't gotten a chance to really take a good look at them, though. You should be able to upload pics if you click on the Post Reply button or the Go Advanced button. Look for the paperclip icon. Max 2mb. I'm glad you are inspired! :D

Omegagodly, thanks, bro.

Chronic Chrissy, I hope you get a chance to read the whole thing. I'm actually going to be rereading it all myself here soon. I dunno what you mean about 'blowing smoke.' I mean, I know I said it, but are you just relating to what I said or are you saying that 'my' plants suck? Just to clarify. :D My feelings won't be hurt. I accept constructive criticism. :D



I've been hanging out in other areas of the boards for a little while recently, which is why I haven't been in here much. Also working on making a slideshow summary of this log (I've got a bit of writer's block) and putting it at the front of my next log (JOURNAL OF A MADMAN II) coming to a monitor near you soon!

TheGreenFog sorry to spam up your nice little collection here but I just wanted to reply to your rep comment (I hate no PMs but I totally understand why they would be bad here). First off, you're welcome, always happy to help out a good guy like you. 2nd off, I totally didn't even realize I had that as my sig I must have been really stoned that night :hippy:

Oh yeah, and in regards to this thread, NICE, just, nice. I'll remember you when I plant my first seed :cool:

I just mean tha sometime I wonder if people are telling the truth about my plants or just telling me what I want to hear. I still working on finding time to read. you plants look awsome.

Ha ha, your plants ARE nice chrissy and they look happy. I don't think anyone needs to lie about how nice they look to spare your feelings. :jointsmile:

Exactly, I just wantto know if they are where they should be(which people say they are) and if there is anything I can improve, since my eye is more inexperienced.

[Hound]

Well here are two pictures of my plant 5 days apart with the light that I mentioned above.

Now this is God Bud and is supposed to be a compact plant but the first plant that I grew (which end up being male :( ) grew very similar to yours. I used two fluorescent lights and a 120W incandescent. Yes I know now that that was not the best setup for it but the plant grew similar to the ones you grew in the cabinet.

Just to note the plant is turned 180 degree between the pictures.

This plant started under the 200W compact fluorescent light and seems to be much more compact than the first plant I grew. I also started to LST it (probably too soon) as you can see in the pictures. Plant was approximately 30 days old from seed in the pictures. Hey just starting to grow and learning slowly. They also have a 125W light as well but that one has less lumens to it.

Hope this helps (and the pictures work :D ).

Hound.

No problem at all AB. Glad to have you. I'm a little lost...seeing as that was so long ago, I dunno what you are talking about on this ONE part of your post. I forget what I put in the rep. :eek:

Looking forward to the AlwaysBlazed Grow Log!


I just mean tha sometime I wonder if people are telling the truth about my plants or just telling me what I want to hear. I still working on finding time to read. you plants look awsome.

Your plants are nice Chrissy. We should only blow smoke...into the air...not up eachothers' butts. :thumbsup:


Well here are two pictures of my plant 5 days apart with the light that I mentioned above.

Now this is God Bud and is supposed to be a compact plant but the first plant that I grew (which end up being male :( ) grew very similar to yours. I used two fluorescent lights and a 120W incandescent. Yes I know now that that was not the best setup for it but the plant grew similar to the ones you grew in the cabinet.

Just to note the plant is turned 180 degree between the pictures.

This plant started under the 200W compact fluorescent light and seems to be much more compact than the first plant I grew. I also started to LST it (probably too soon) as you can see in the pictures. Plant was approximately 30 days old from seed in the pictures. Hey just starting to grow and learning slowly. They also have a 125W light as well but that one has less lumens to it.

Hope this helps (and the pictures work :D ).

I'm a little confused by your posts. Are you trying to sell me a light? I don't need one. Are you telling me that more lumens will equal better vegged plants...cuz I pretty much know that. I'm not trying to be a dick here, but I just don't get it. You have 4 posts, and you used 2 of them to "advertise" your light here. Maybe you can enlighten me. :) Thanks. :smokin:

Sorry if I sound confusing, I am not trying to. I also am not trying to sell any lights to anyone and I figure since you had such a nice grow that you know that more lumens means better plants.

I read the string on compact fluorescents and found that people where using 45W bulbs (or something similar) just like you. Now if you take four 45W bulb you get 180W but you donâ??t get 19,000 lumens. You would get about 8,000 lumens (this may not be perfectly accurate so you can correct me if I am wrong) for the same amount of electricity (give or take a little). You have 4 compact lights in your cabinet and say that your plants are stretching probably due to low lumens (my first plant did that as well). Now you can add more of the 45W bulbs to give more lumens to stop the stretching but then you are paying more for electricity than if you got one of these bigger bulbs or even some T5â??s. I really donâ??t care where you get it from but I did look at the 120W bulbs that where in the hardware store and they only gave about 5,000 lumens per bulb.

So I am just trying to save money by getting more lumens for less watts. I would love to have a HPS but I donâ??t think I could vent enough to remove that amount of heat. I just have a small closet grow.

Again I am not trying to sell nothing to anybody. I just bought this light because of the lower heat it produces and found it did a good job. Now I am trying to get my process down so I can get better result (not that I have had any yet). I read your entire log, which took a while and enjoyed all the pictures that you posted. You have given me many good ideas of what I can do and what I should be looking for (like shorter plants, my first was over seven foot). So I hope to learn more from your continued log and the new one (if I can find it).

So grow on and enjoy. Again sorry for the confusion.
