~DAY 107/35/21~
DAY 107 from seed
DAY 35 flower in BodomBox
DAY 21 flower in Main Room
Ok ladies & gentlemen...
Welcome to another episode of JOURNAL OF A MADMAN on TheGreenFogTV!
We??ve got lots of pictures for you guys this time. We??ve done some major rearranging and had some ups and downs. The excitement never ends! Will the plants make it to harvest? Will the grower be shocked by electricity and pass out in the grow room? Will a household pet single-handedly (or ??single-pawedly??) take down all the whole setup?!? Stay tuned. We??ll be back after a word from our sponsors?

*exhales smoke?sets down joint*
Well, we??re back, and visiting the mysterious anonymous Closet Grow Room?of death. :D
Today, we will first visit the lovely blooming Rubbermaid Box (a.k.a The BodomBox).
As a small recap for those of you just joining us, the plants in this box were not meant to be fully flowered, but used as test-clones to sex the corresponding mother plants. Boy, we??re sure glad we let continue to grow. They are looking scrumptious. We should get at least an ounce or more from this to hold us over until the Main Room is done. :rasta:
This box has been so very easy to maintain up til now. Just keep your eyes on it, so that you don??t burn plants, and you??ll be alright. Water, that??s all. They have been getting SO crystally. I think that is due to the use of the ??full spectrum? CFLs. Yea?nice. Any questions?
Ok here are some pics?
Some more flower pics from the BodomBox. Those buds are getting to look so nice. Plump and crystally. Can't wait. I think pic #3 is the 3 headed monster.
Mmm...tasty...
~DAY 107~
Here are our Veg pics. We got lots of rearranging to do. We have once again run out of room in our small little veg room. :(
In our veg room, we currently have 2 LARGE redwoods...well, they are tall friggin' plants. We don't have any room for them...they just keep growing, and our original solution (flowering them next) will not work because of their height. We have decided...sadly...that the only solution is to take a couple of clones...and get rid of them. That's right, we're going to trash TWO 3 1/2 foot plants. I wish they could've gone to a good home...alas...they will end up in the compost heap.
Pic #1 & #2: Our plant #11a...it is being LST'd. NICE.
Pic #3: Our "mother plants" Mambo #5 and #10 are growing to the ceiling of their veg space.
Pic#4 & #5: Mambo #5 and plant #10...walking the plank. These plants are taller than one meter. :D :(
Take a good look. ;)
TGF
is it me? or does the three headed monster look like a four headed monster, now?
hi fog, i think i may have developed a training method with your name... kp's forest of green (maaaaan, i WISH i had a friggin camera!!!)
ne way, just poppin in...
love, kp :p
Hi, kindprincess. I'll have to go back and look...it's definitely getting plump...I think I still see only three heads...but hey. You know what they say: "4 heads is better than 3." Lol.
I wish you had a camera too. WTF is that all about? :D
:rasta:
TGF
Oh...I forgot to add these couple pictures in before...
This is a glance at how crowded we are getting on the left side.
And pic#3 is our cloning shelf up top. Pretty much at its limit also.
So...we pulled out #5 & #10.
Took clones.
Then...we gotta get rid of them. There is no room, unfortunately.
Look at these rootballs! We squeezed all the hydroton out again to reuse.
;)
Taps playing in background
TGF
One more. S'more roots.
Two dying soldiers...
...to the grave.
TGF
Since we got the two monsters out, we have room to bring down our clones.
We also are being more selective this time and getting rid of some of the weaker ones. :D
I hate throwing away guaranteed female plants. :( It makes me sad.
TGF
We topped a couple that were getting away on us.
We fixed the wiring situation...
...if you look back, you will see we were trying to get the wiring up out of the bottom compoartment where the water was. We did that, and brought it it up onto the left side, but didn't get around to nailing it up to the wall and it sat in the side next to the planter. We decided to hurry up and put it on the wall before someone got exectricuted. This decision was hurried along when water was splashed out of the planter, onto the wooden shelf and ONTO the powerstrip. It was immediately dried, nothing shorted, and we commenced raising the wires. Now it is all nice and neat. Behold. :p
TGF
Set the plants we have left into their places. We still have our Bonsai Mama #11a taking up a lot of room...but there is room for the other clones. :D Side lighting rocks. ;) Now, we'll try to keep these girls from stretching like their mothers did. Topping, LST, keep the light close. OK. :thumbsup:
*takes puff off joint*
New clones up top. This will be our 3rd run of clones. We've had 100% rooting success rate. We just threw some away but they could've grown into normal plants with a little care...so our virtual success rate with clones is 100%. Olivia's rocks. Humidomes rock. Seaweed rocks. Hydroton rocks. :thumbsup:
Nice new fresh veg room. Nice and neat. Back to manageable size. With a few casualties....meh.
:rasta: RastafarI
TGF
Onto the Main Flowering room. This is ~DAY 21~ of flower. End of three weeks.
Plants are 50 inches. Over 4 feet tall from base of stem. Huge stretch at bottom, but top is pretty dense and branchy. This came from the plants living the first part of their life under weak flourescents (and not enough of them or kept closely enough)...then being switched to 400w HPS for some veg time before being flipped into 12/12 under 400w HPS.
Plants are starting to grow LOTS of budsites. I counted at least 60-70 on just the front plant alone.
TGF
The plants are stretching...some more than others. This one out front, number 13, has started to really be showing Sativa traits. If you look back to Day 104, you will see a really cool pic of the top of this plant, kind of like pic #4 here. Pay attention to this plant...something horrible shall happen to it. :(:(
Pic#5 is a shot showing the plant in the back corner is still getting sucked into the cool tube. We already had raised the light once because of this, but this time we are going to pull the plant away from the light. The plants seem to be pretty comfortable with the light, which is only inches away from the tallest plant. Cooltubes rock.
Observation: The plants that are receiving light, direct light (close) have less trichomes than those that are receiving adaquate but not overly intense light. Just a small theory. Also, the plants in the rubbermaid bloombox are much more crystally than these large plants. Curious. Maybe, there is a correlation between 'too much' direct light and trichome production...just a though.
TGF
Ok. So here is how it went...
I came on here asking what we should do for our height problems seeing as we have huge mammoth plants in the right side and they might "double" in size. Someone mentioned something about trying to SCRoG them now...
So...and I'm not blaming the person who said that (I think it was Bear, I may be wrong) because I was the stupid idiot who manhandled the plants like I was wrestling a bear. ;)
So, trying to envision what such a late SCRoG screen would look like, I said, well, what if I gently bent this top stem so it ran horizontal like this...
...SNAP!...
..."Son of a #@*&!, Mother %*&#@$!...etc." Then I quickly grabbed some electrical tape, which was the closest thing I could find...and taped the tree back up where it had "bent." Look at pic #2 about 18 inches down from the top :( see the black tape...this is right after it happened.
Pic #3,4,5 are about 15 minutes later. :( :(
I also made a small mixture of water and superthrive and administered it to the wounded area. I don't think it will help.
I spoke with someone on chat (Tra*no*ble) who told me that it would be fine! That he does it all the time and I just have to tape it up and it will repair itself. WHOA...I said. That is a relief. Then he said, well that's in soil, which is a little more forgiving...I dunno about hydro.
So, we'll see. Cohort wants to cut it off and smoke what buds it has. I say leave it on and see how it is in a week. What do you all think? Sad, sad sh*t, huh? I guesstimate that if that top, with all those branches, dies...we will lose a good 30-40 grams, over an ounce. :mad:
Advisory: Be careful with your plants. Don't snap them like a friggin' moron. Have a nice day. :thumbsup:
Well, we move on. :dance:
*takes puff of joint*
:rasta:
TGF
it'll be fine, just give it a week
you'll see
Thanks, Cornelius. Hope so. (fingers crossed) Otherwise, how do they look?
By the way, that is the end of the pictures from DAY 107/35/21. Hit me up with some comments/questions/advice. :D
Stay tuned to TheGreenFogTV!

Be cool. Be love.

Edit: For those of you who came straight to the end of the thread...this update started on the bottom of the last page. :D There's a lotta action! :thumbsup:
lookin good man!! shame about those that you had to kill.. but shit happens huh?
God damn Fog, Lookin great. A question about your post (number 385).. How do you have 3 plants in that one giant container with all the hydro rocks? Is it only with soil that more then one plant per pot become a problem?
OMG U ARE A FUCKIN GENIUSS GREENFOG I WISH I COULD GROW LIKE THAT
Yea. Sucks. It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it. :(Quote:

In any case, there are some people who do this same thing with soil. ;) I don't really know how the roots are growing (whether they are all intertwined with eachother or not) but will know when it is harvest time. You will see. :D:DQuote:

lol so your a frog now.. lol
OH thank goodness...I've been reading your imaginary log...and each time I am like FOG not FROG, Fog, not Frog...I like frog better, and it makes it easier for morons like me to read! Keep up the great fantasy. And sorry you snapped that one....looks like something I would do....hope the cannabis gods repair it.

Heh, I thought it was to avoid being mixed up with a green fag...

why you gotta be so hard on the green fog !! He's the man!! Grow on brotha!! Remember the grow gods got your back !! I talked to them this morning...they appeared to me in a cloud of smoke wafter exhaling from the bong !!:thumbsup:Quote:

~Bree1978~
Ya, mon. I was like, well, everyone keeps calling me Frog, so I might as well play along for a while. I changed my avatar to a lake with green fog over it...didnt help...MJ leaf with emminating green foggy rays...didn't help...
So, I decided to play along, plus I found this cool picture of this green frog...and he looks HIGH to me! :D:D :smokin: Niiice.
Thanks for the comments on the thread. I'm glad you enjoy the pics. It sure does take a lot of work to post them, so I'm glad they are appreciated. ;)
~faithless~
C'mon. You're joking right?
~ticoblunts~
Thanks, man! You the man, too, man. :D I can't wait to see your harvest. Those T5s look like they are worth it, at least for the vegetable stage...lol vegetative... You see Deities in your smoke?!?! Whoa, we gotta cheif together.
It's a high, green, tree FROG! :p
~faithless~
You seriously thought that? Wow. Well, in any case, no that's not why. Thanks for your comments, man. :thumbsup: Nice beagle. :D
I hope I can get some pics up today. Got some updates from DAY 111 !
Stay cool...stay smokin'...:rasta: RastafarI
TGF
I've seen that you were getting mad about people calling you frog and now you give in.....lmao
grow on fRog
Not mad. Frustrated, maybe. Confused, sure. Not mad. I just thought I'd test and see how many people call me Frog, now! I'll change it back later, probably. Grow on, Bodom! :thumbsup: :D:D:D
Damn, Page 17...is anyone gonna read this thread anymore? :( It's too long, now. Should I start another one? That would be weird, though.
What do you all think?
TGF
Are you being serious? And risk not having a legend thread for all to see? I would think that the anonymous person who left that on your doorstep would be seriously pissed.....! ;)
You're right, Bree1978. I would have let him/her down, huh? Ok, nevermind that, then. All of you who want to experience the wonderfulness that is this thread will have to just take your time and read through it! :D
There is A LOT of info in it when you take the time...building closet, planting, seedling stage, vegetative, stretching :(, cloning, sexing, flowering, topping, LST, FIM, flourescents, HPS lamp, mylar, hydro, rockwool, hydroton, nutes, temps, exhaust and much much more...not to mention an @$$load of pics. :thumbsup:
Anything I missed or did not explain fully, please feel free to ask! And I'm always open to other comments, criticism, and feedback! Thanks.
EnJoY! Thanks, Bree.
:rasta:
TGF
I agree keep the thread alive.
Haha I noticed the new avatar aswell. Now they would never even notice that it says fog not that they did before.. People will just think you spelt your name wrong..
Keep up the amazing work!
Well, that will never do! I don't want people to think I couldn't even spell my own name right! That's almost as bad as spelling the title to your own thread wrong...:upsidedowQuote:

Did the dude PASS THAT SHIT when you tested it as your avatar?
Thanks again for offering it to me. That was nice of you. :thumbsup:
I wouldn't even sweat the whole FROG thing. It was something the eye could easily overlook. I know I didn't mean any harm when I made that same mistake at first. Personally, I would embrace it and go with GreenFrog. I signed up as PASS THAT SHIT as a joke to comment on a thread without realizing I was gonna get hooked on this site. Now I'm committed to a name most people don't want to repeat. What's done is done. And don't you dare start another thread until this one is complete. :pimp:
~your avatar~
Hey, man. Yea, you're welcome for the avatar. It's perfect for you...now if it would just MOVE! I tested it, and no, it didn't move for me either. I DID read somewhere recently about the fact that it might not move if it is 'too large of a file'...? But it moved when I posted it on your thread to give it to you...weird.
I dunno how to do it...Maybe someone can help you with that. Go onto the avatar thread up in the C Lounge. Ask souldistortion. He's apparently good with avatars/gifs and sh*t, so maybe he can help ya. Tell him I sent ya. LOL j/k
~my avatar~
Yea, I know people don't "purposely" make the mistake...it's just amazing (to me) how many people make it. Plus, I was getting a little tired of my leaf one (but it will be back) so I thought I'd change it up. If I could go back, I might have made my name TheGreenFrog, but now that I think about it, I would've just made it TheGreenMist or something if I knew what I know now. :)
~my thread~
Anyway, it was a fleeting idea...but, no I won't start another thread...well, not now at least. Dunno when, tho...cuz I have a feeling this one might NEVER END! (gasp)
What I mean by that is...this mysterious JOURNAL is much larger than you might think. If you haven't noticed, it is set up as a perpetual system. It also mentions something in it about Bubblegum...Northern Lights...and some other thing called Kush... :) So, hopefully, he will find me again...and leave another comp book w/cds at my doorstep. :D:D:D That would be cool, huh?
:rasta: <---yessah!

TGF[r]og...
Love the root shots! We don't get to see nearly enough of those.
Did you end up killing the clones or not?
What's going on in your grow at the moment? Please don't kill this thread- you have great results!
~stinky~
Hey, yea, not gonna kill the thread...not now, at least. Getting busy here lately, though, so that's why I haven't been on as much.
Those roots are sexy, eh? I was surprised when we yanked them outta the pot! Whoa.
About the clones...which ones did you mean when you asked if I ended up killing them or not? We killed a couple weak clones and we killed 2 large mother plants due to lack of space. We cloned them before they were dispactched, so their blood lives on. I think I explained all that, not sure.
Anyway, just checkin' in and bumping the thread up so new people can take a gander and have some time to catch up...lol.
There is a lot going on. I am about 2 weeks behind in posting. I have at least 100 more pics to post and more to say! Hope I will be able to catch up by tomorrow or the next day. Keep checking in...more plant pic porn (ppp) coming to a monitor near you!
Gotta go!
Be cool...be mellow...be love. One love.

Keep up the good work and keep it green!
