wow great log! everything looks great. especially your outdoor!
iriebowl, I agree with the comments made earlier, in that this thread is certainly not getting the attention it deserves. I was just reviewing thread titles, and while I am not quite versed enough in indoor growing, I saw your cab notation, and decided I might learn a bit for future use. Your cab is too advanced for me to fashion anything similar, but I appreciate all of the attention to detail; and, your scrubber is incredible, dude! It looks like you could make those for a living, man!
Now that I see you have a plant out of doors, I have become even more interested in following your log. I have much to learn, and I have found where I can learn much - from your thread. Don't worry about the lack of traffic - I know how you feel. It is nice to receive the applause, but in the end, it is much nicer puffing on the results of your hard work. I'm looking forward to following your log, my friend. Thanks for keeping it going!
thanks jakezking, bombdiggity, KingKronic420
Im glad everyone is enjoying and getting a bit of info from my log. Though I admit it isnt info packed like some other logs, but I will answer any question regarding my grow or techniques if you have any.
Sorry no pics this weekend but heres an update.
nana cab- all girls are fattening up and putting on the weight now :thumbsup:. Today will be the first molasses feed of 1tbsp. per gallon. I hope these girls like molasses like the outdoor girl does :D.
outdoor girl- Besides the bugs that are messing up a few leaves and the grass seed that is on some of the buds, its aaaaall good. Buds are getting bigger and trichomes are in production. Fed her a bucket today since its SUPER hot and has been for the last couple days.
DWC- I decided to stop growing hydro since I have my hands full with the cab. It was a real humbug trying to maintain a cool res temp during the summer. I may start it up in fall/winter to see if its any better. I ended up chopping up the KM1 clones I had in there. Made 7 cuttings but dumped 3 just because. I already transplanted 3 clones that rooted in 7 days, the rest are about ready to transplant.
Thats it for now

wow, looking beautiful iriebowl. I'm envious of your cabinet, I just may reclaim mine some day, but if I do I'll do it right (odor and light leaks inevitably gave mine away).
it's also great to hear that you're feeding the outdoor girl molasses, as she is obviously responding well to it (I've been thinking of trying it myself).
overall great work you're doing, you definately will be having a promising harvest, with some nice strains. :smokin:
thanks cthulhu This will be my biggest harvest to date so Im really excited. I wanna order some bubble bags too so I can make some hash, since last time it didnt come out so great with coffee filters.
So we've been having some rainy weather lately and when I went to check my outdoor I found a branch was totally bent over and laying in a bit of mud. I didnt have any more stakes to tie up the branch so I just cut it for a sample. It was a lil "dirty" but I cleaned it up real good. Trimmed it up and had to fan dry it due to the rain soaking it. After about 10 minutes it was dry enough to go in the closet. Gonna be checking it daily for any signs of mold just in case :thumbsup:. Its got some really fat calyx's too almost like its seeded but its not. Has a sweet candy smell thats not really strong unless you squeeze a nug. Looks like it should be a good sampler.

excellent grow, very informational. You've put a lot of work in the plants and itll definitely show in your yield. how many are in there btw?

thanx for stopping in and checking out my log. I currently have 4 main girls and 3 in cups all flowering. veg has 5 girls 3 mums and 2 waiting to flower.
carbon scrubber update*
I ordered some carbon off ebay and it was a great price. 25 lbs. for $45 plus free shipping, and to top it off it arrived in a mere 3 days. I ended up using around 4-5 pounds for my scrubber with decent odor removal, might opt out and make a 2 footer if the odor lingers.
new pics when im not being lazy.
Still looking wonderful, iriebowl.
I've had a little stink problem although the bubblegum is not a very stinky strain. I'm off today to buy a bathroom exhaust fan that I can duct to an unused gas water heater vent that goes outdoors (no neighbors). I think it will help a lot for drying and when I grow the next time with AK-47, a real stinker, I've been told.
Shove
hey ire, do you by any chance have plans for your cab? i really like it and need ideas for mine
LOL, i see you found my friend Irie, pretty cool cab, hunh?Quote:

rock on dude
Ill start off the update with the outdoor girl.
Over the last week she has plumped up and smells more sweet. She still has those slight pinkish hairs which is sooo cool to actually see in my garden as compared to a magazine or internet. Not really producing much sugar but nice solid nugs are forming.
last pic is my insect security
stay irie
These will be close ups.
So far so good. Getting bigger everyday :thumbsup:
stay irie
heres the buds
I added my mini dehumidifier in the flower side in an attempt to lower humidity but it only came down 2-3% :(
The kalimist has 4+ more weeks and the hashberry has 2 weeks til harvest.
stay irie
Wow...:eek:
Beautiful pix and buds m8....you gonna have a big amount of nice frosty buds soon...i would say your NANA Cab v0.1 is a complete success....keep it up....
And that lizard is sooo cool....:thumbsup:
Nice, nice, nice!
Well as usual whenever I get something good going the bad steps in and ruins the party. To make a loooooooooong story short my grow is basically ending in the next week. Living situations have drastically changed and now me and my family need to look for a new place to live. I have no idea as to what Im gonna do with my cab and its contents. I might sell it and rebuild a new cab after we move but who knows if Ill be able to grow then. A truly sad day has come and I can only hope the tide turns for the better soon. Time to smoke a bowl and chill
stay irie
WOW IM REALLY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS ON THE HOME FRONT...
Great looking Plant's you have there....
Plant's look great I browsed the thread and I seen Miracle Grow Soil.
I did not see a NUTES schedule. That's great if your only using Miracle Grow products. I'm in the process now of setting up a 4x12 Indoor bed myself. I'm looking for a good soil mix and I was reading up on Pro Mix. I found this now I'm definetly not using Pro Mix..

The whole Miracle Grow has me thinking:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Thanks GL420:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:
This grow I didnt use miracle grow soil, but tried out "SUPER SOIL". I added foam rok at 1-1 ratio to get a nice draining soil. No extra amendments like bone/blood meal, lime. Really happy with this mix so Ill be sticking with it from now on. On my other grows with miracle grow soil I had good results using the organic mix and mixing in foam rok for better drainage. I get my super soil at home depot for $5 a bag, doubt they have foam rok since its a local product but perlite/vermiculite will work the same. Any soil should be good as long as it drains quicly but holds a decent amount of water. Oh yeah after mixing my soil Ill add some 6.6 pH water mix throughlly then let it "COOK" for a week before usage. By cook I mean let it sit and breakdown to help pH levels stabilize. Always pH before adding plants in case the mix is off.
I dont have a nute schedule but use the FoxFarms line. Grow Big during veg and Tiger Bloom during flower. I tried MG ferts but didnt like the results it gave so I went organic as much as possible. I find it gives a nicer taste and less chance for nute burns. You might pay more but its worth it in the end.
thanks for stopping in and hope this helps you soil grow

cuz mine don't look like there gunna get that much sun light for there flowering cycle. how much sunlight would a marryjane plant need to get beautiful bud like URs is getting.
she gets all day sun, towards the end of the day the back gets a bit of shade but not much. Right now shes getting 12-13 hours of direct sun. The days are pretty hot and nights are nice and cool so I think thats what made the pistils turn pinkish. Im not sure but it looks like its starting to reveg or at least growing some long leaves at the top of the buds.
I have no idea about the amount of sunlight needed but Im sure 11-14 should be good to flower.
check this out to get sun times for your area.

ok my time has run out quicky. My cab is now shut down til further notice. I have piggies downstairs as I type so I guess its a test of the carbon scrubber and its odor control.
Thankyou everyone for stopping by and checking out my log. This isnt the end of me just time to hibernate till the time is good again.
one last thing............................................. .........
stay irie
Good luck man. Way to play it safe:thumbsup:
stay irie
the lights are on, is anyone home?
yup im home for the time being. Had to harvest all my girls early and move the moms and clones off the property, if they dont live Im gonna grow out the hindu kush on my future grow.
Damn...........growing and smoking is so easy but harvesting can be such a pain. I need to get some spring loaded trimmers next time I harvest. My right hand is all sore from trimming all day by myself. Im hoping to get around a QP in the end but its most likey less.
stay irie
thanks for the link.
and by piggies do U mean the cops. damm that sucks.
Holy SHi COW WTF....Quote:

One in the books for ME!!!! Ohhh and you !!!!
Good Luck
GL420:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:
yup they were cops, or actually cop. and he was a decent cop too which is amazing. Not my first encounter either but I wasnt growing as much then to raise suspicion. Over the last year and a half I had fire/ambulance/police over at least 6 times. All went smoothly without a hitch, "knock on wood".
Now to be patient and wait for the drying process.
stay irie
I hope you'll be back soon...:hippy:
I had 6 big plants and 60 more seedlings that all popped and my Girlfriend called the fire department a few weeks ago. Pulled up there 3 fire engines and 2 Police cars. Thought it was a raid. I had balls thought I ran in the house. Then I moved everything out to the W/H and the fire dept was there on Friday. I Think about the worst and hope for the best. Thats my new modow..
Good Luck
Give Em time to dry.... LOL
iriebowl, I'm sorry to hear your grows were interrupted, but it appears you have a decent stash to tide you over until you have your situation tied down a bit better. Those buds are mighty fine lookin'! You did an incredible job on your grow!
I appreciate you sharing your soil information, as I have just been using MG soil. I've had some burn issues, and some spotting issues. My plant seems to have been stunted and began flowering super early - I didn't believe the seed to be Lowryder with the autoflower, but such would explain the short stature and autoflower. But, I still attribute part of the problem to the MG soil, so I will shy away from it on future grows. Thanks for the recommendation of the "Super Soil."
Be good out there!
hey dude! stay away from growing if you must, just don't stay away from here, you got that!
LOL, no shit man, even if you can't be growing right now, you will again, it gets into your blood, lol, and really man, that doesn't mean you can just stop hanging out man, too many of us would miss you.
LOL Im never leaving, my roots are to deep to leave anyway. As a second gen grower I have absolutely no plans of stopping, as you said its in my blood. Im just glad I gained the knowledge to grow they way I do. In under a year I went from a noob to a fairly decent grower (I think?!)
Now with my 3rd actual harvest done and in the books I credit this site and members for all the info provided, without it I would still be a noob trying to grow.
For the time being I will be trying to write up some tutorials or DIYs. I was thinking of a carbon scrubber, clones, moms, cooltube, maybe some others if my brain remembers them. If anyone has a specific tutorial/DIY they would like let me know and Ill see what I can do.
stay irie
i agree you're no noob any more my friendQuote:

shit man, i'll be starting a thread soon with flowers, i want you to stop by from time to time and give me some encouragement, lol
(i'm only waiting for my economic stimulus check so i can go buy a new camera)
either way, by the first of the month, i'll be starting a flowering log so keep your eyes peeled

I never get enough reading on cloning technique.
Thanks
ok so heres the outdoor girl report
she had a total weight of 18.5g minus a couple nugs as a sampler. I tared(zeroed out) the scale in case you were wondering ;). Taste is ok, no green taste, a lil sweet but its faint. Nice smooth hits from the ZONG (my sis got all blazed off 1 hit), pipe was ok but not as tasty(dirty pipe), gonna roll a cone later to see if its good on the paper.
So far Im fairly pleased with this batch even though it only came in at 18.5g, would have been nice to let it fully ripen to get double the weight but ohh wells.
stay irie
Real nice bowl of nugs, Bub!
Shov sure aint lying, that is one sweet lookin' bowl a budQuote:

heres kalimist 1,2,3 and hashberry all curing.
first pic is hashberry in 2 jars along with the outdoor girl in a jar and kalimist in the bag. Gonna wait a couple days til I scale out the KM and HB. I was thinking the kalimist was gonna yield a lil more but it was only halfway through flower before the premature harvest :(.
pics 2,3,4 are of a hashberry bud, nothing special just grabbed the one on top.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
killa buds
I like sample!
