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:
Sorry I missed your log completion :mad: ...i think I felt a slight spanking as punishment...sorry fog...great grow. Sabrina
heh, the mad green fog man :p
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:
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
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. :)Quote:

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:
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.
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:
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:
/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:
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:
Check it out guys:
TheGreenFog TV - "Spliff Assist #1" (NEW! Video)
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!!
The Fog :rastasmoke:
hiya f<r>og!
i cant believe you said my plants look unhealthy...
:D
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? 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:
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
Sky :abduct:
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:
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 ā??Closet of Lifeā??. Have you looked into one of these types of fluorescent lights? You can see one here Sunblaster 200 Watt - Flourescent Bulbs or you can go to there home page of the guys that make it Future Harvest Development : : Lighting for Indoor Gardening the only thing is that they donā??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 canā??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 donā??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;)
I need to sit down and read this whole thread. I do know what you mean about blowing smoke Fog, sometimes I wonder.
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!
RastafarI.
The Fog :rastasmoke:
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:
Thanks for readin!
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:
honestly despite mistakes made your plants look great, you wouldnt be the first person i said "your plants look shitty" to cause if it was me please tell me i suck so i can improve.Quote:

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:Quote:

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 donā??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 T5ā??s. I really donā??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 donā??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.
Hound.
Ok, Hound. That makes a lot more sense. Thank you for clearing it up. Yes, I agree, T5 lights are probably better for vegging. I would even consider putting them up over using a MH. I would not flower with either one. HPS for flowering all the way.
I'm not sure how much you've read, but you might have come across ticoblunt's thread on his use of T5's. His vegging plants looked WICKED, but I'm not so sure about the flowering results...we never got to see it to the end.
I'm really glad you got a chance to look through all the thread. I always get a little happier when someone tells me that. That really shows me that you care about learning something and it lets me know that posting the thread in such detail is not a wasted effort. Thanks for that, Hound.
I'm slowly working on starting a new log. I'm not quite sure where to start. I've left some of the pics off the end of this...cuz I'm kind of in a posting rut. Unfortunately, it's been over a month since I've posted anything grow-related. Hopefully, that will change soon. Oh, and don't worry about being able to find the new log...you will see it. :D I wonder if it gets as big as this one. Hehe
Thanks for the clearing up and glad you stopped by.
RastafarI.
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Your welcome TGF and yes I did read ticoblunt's log on T5. I thought that it was a good grow as well. The light that I mentioned also comes in 2700K so I am trying that for flowering now. Well at least to get seeds anyways.
When I get some more experience with this I would like to try hydroponics but I am not that confident yet. I have kill a few seeds from shock and have used the wrong soil to start but I am learning and things are looking much better now.:thumbsup:
Any other good logs for the beginner that you know of? Have read the one by kindprincess quide.
Hound:jointsmile:
Good luck flowering with those. Post pics of the results if you do. I'm interested to see it.
Hydroponics is not as hard as most people think. You just gotta tune your stuff in precisely and keep your eye on it daily.
Stop shocking your seeds. ;)
Other beginners logs? Hmm...well, there are a bunch. Some are not worth reading, but others are. Read the Cannabis College guide. Maybe read through KD Special's thread, definitely Stinky Attic's, KP's, BlueBear's. There are plenty. Some of those are not necessarily "beginner" logs, but IMO, I don't think you really should be learning from a majority of the "beginners" out there. Learn from experienced peeps. :) Just look around. There's lots of info out there..................LOTS. :D
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Hey Fog, thought I'd stop in and say hello....HIGH! The log is looking good, and I'm glad you decided to keep it all together instead of breaking it up!
And for Hound: Drugs-Forum - Cannabis cultivation: Overgrow's GrowFAQ
Also remember to read all the growfaq's here on cannabis....
:jointsmile: Bree
Hey, Bree. Glad you stopped by...!
As far as keeping the log all in one...I'm probably not going to. Lots of stuff will get lost in a thread that's 50 pages long! No one will read it. :( I'm still planning on starting a second log, though. It will be titled JOURNAL OF A MADMAN II. I just haven't gotten around to posting it.
I was waiting to say anything until I had something done, but it's taking so long, that I might as well let ya know my plans, then when I finally get around to posting it, you will have forgotten, so it will be new stuff. Hehe. :jointsmile:
So, I am working on making a slideshow video of the first JOURNAL, highlighting as much of the grow (and pictures) as I can. Then I will put that video link in the first post of the new JOURNAL II and then start from there. Hope it comes soon, if I can find the time. I'm going to work on it hard this week, and HOPE to post something next week.
Til then, you can still find me here...
Thanks for stopping by, Bree...and everyone else who's checkin' in on me!! Shout out to you guys! :D:D

Hi GF
Posted reply to your query on the Womens Battle thread.
If I left anything out, just let me know.

Yea, I got it, man. Sounds good. Thanks for the compliment! Look forward to seeing your log! :)
The Fog :rastasmoke:
hi f<r>og! you made my sig :p
i'm ecstatic... i had one white rhino and one ak48 survive shipping... vegged them for two months... wr has a preflower, looks like it's going to be female, but too soon to tell...
the ak.....IS A GIRL!!!!! yeah :thumbsup:
here's what i'm looking forward to... tokudai, i stole this pic from you :D it was just too good to pass up ;)
http://boards.cannabis.com/attachmen...8-ak48d444.jpg
Holy Crap. I didn't even realize you had a log going. Now I can just stalk you in the course of my ordinary forum browsing.
so you are gonna break it up huh?now it is gonna take twice as long to catch up when i can get to a computer for any extended period of time.
it is weird not to see 100s of new pics for you.hopefully whatever is taking up all your time now isn't a bad thing
