Shake,
Thanks for the Rep.
Everything is go on my end.
No need to thank me for the meter, maybe you will curse me instead. (LOL)
As the chief once said " You are either on the bus or off".
You my friend are on!
M.P.
M.P.,
*you've got mail*
don't worry brother, i'd never out ya!
again, i appreciate the love. i'll repay you anway that i can. i know you wouldn't ask, but i will. so if i can, please, share.
glad i can be on the bus. you might not get me off though!

Hi Shake.
I am kind of new around here posting, but I must say this is a very exciting grow and strain. I will be watching with great expectations. A man of your reputation has the bar set a bit higher I think. ---the pressure is on :)
Thank you so much for all of your contibutions. From this thread I am learning more and more that it takes all of the genetics, but without the experience the genetics are without.
Can you still expound a bit more on climate and the results that come to a purple strain from manipulating climate?
Best regards.
OV
Shake,
You got mail!
Sorry about the delay but I've been under the weather lately.
Good luck !
M.P.
i can't complain. there is no worries my friend. again, i'm thankful beyond words. let me know when/how i can ever repay the favor!Quote:

i'll have an update soon. there is just not a bunch to report as of yet. i'm trying to get them back up and healthy. plus i'm moving tomorrow......
but expect some big things in the near future!

sorry I am late from the show shake, took a little time off from the boards. Glad to see things are moving along ... i'm a huge fan of killas work and I am currently lucky enough to be running some of his PR x PK. I've only popped a few but so far they are looking great ... about 10 days old. Wouldn't mind a mom and a dad :D
Good luck with the move, I'm expecting great things from the cross you are running!
Take care,
-sg
Shake,
Throw a "1" in front of that tracking number and you should be able o see your meter. Either the treatments or my med are numbing my brain lately.
sorry 'bout dat.
M.P.
Don't know how I missed this thread but will watch closely. Nice grow using the CFL's.
I just dusted two small buds of an Afghani x LowRyder f1 cross with male pollen from a Purple Urkle x Trainwreck x Romulan (got all males). Know of one Cali grower who ran the PUxTWxRom and it looks devine, probably two weeks from harvest so no smoke report yet. Pink rosy pistils really sweet looking smoke with great trich's.
The male had purple streaks up the main stalk.
looking good shake :thumbsup: i bet you cant wait to see those buds in real life... i cant imagine the anticipation :rastasmoke:
still moving and getting organized guys. sorry for no update. i'm stealing my neighbors internet at the moment.
M.P. the meter got delivered but i haven't picked it up yet. it's at my old apartments.
i'll be back in a bit y'all.
-shake
what's good everybody? sorry about the lack of update. hectic life lately. moving, roomates etc etc.
where to start, where to start.........
how about with, shake ya head is finally in the big leagues! i got a 400W MH from a buddy. i managed to get a bulb and get it mounted in it's temporary home in the closet. man my wife hates that!!! i just need some more funds to retrofit the attic to suit my needs.
speaking of attics, has anyone grown in one? i know panda plastic is 6 or 7 mils thick. and i know that it won't insulate extremely well, but if i were to build rooms with the panda plastic and run A/C to them would it hold it in well? any ideas or thoughts?
i'm totally re-vamping everything after picking up the MH. my meter probe should be here soon. then it's hempy's and a perpetual harvest!
on the WH
, not a lot is going on. they've been vegging for about 41 days. they went through a move and some other stressful events so some are a little weird. it could have been the MG soil.
are they sensitive to nutes killa?
the one, "E" i believe, died. i had put them into flower after moving. not the best idea, but i was frustrated and unsure where to proceed with this batch. since then i've got one confirmed female, "G", and two males (not sure of the letter designations at the moment), who have been moved to a breeding box (on 18/6 atm).
i put the rest of the bunch back into veg. a few were tall and lanky so i LSTd them. one broke off a top so i made it a clone. it's looking very healthy after drooping for a bit after being put in the dirt.
so let's recap because i'm sure i confused most of you guys and myself. lol.
currently, in flower, there is the 4 clones that are getting ready to finish (hopefully sometime really soon!), 3 bagseed that are looking amazing if i don't say so myself. they have been on 12/12 for 30 days and have nice, tight buds starting with trichs popping up left and right. and 1 WH ("G"), that i'm gonna let finish because i'm so freaking excited to see her in all her glory!
so to recap the recap:
4x dank bagseed clones, smells like grapefruit gasoline! they are so top-heavy they barely can stand up!
3x popcorn bagseed, 2x short and stout, 1x taller. haven't gotten a good nose full yet.
1x WH. just starting to show pistils.
1x a donated lady, i call her BB. she has an amazing smell. i'll have to get another wiff to describe it. it's very aromatic and powerful though. more on how i got this lady......
a buddy of a buddy had two plants that he wanted to get rid of. i took them. they were both outside and not taken care of well. they smell amazing though. one had a fire ant bed in it. it was the worse of the tow. so i chopped it up for clones, took 5 of them. quick dried the rest. that was lady BA.
BB looked much better. so i re-potted her and placed her in the flower room.
i plan on re-vegging her for clones after she's done.
the seeds "came from a bag of 'dro" is all i know.
those are all under the 400W MH. it is held vertically at the moment. the bulb screws into the ballast. don't have a reflector on it yet. i'm gonna get a makeshift one done today with a real one to follow in the future.
i'm so excited to see what a difference this bulb makes!!!!
i have no experience with HID. will the bulb being vertical work for the time being. i mean i know it will work, but will it work well?
should i have it closer to the plants? by closer i mean, lower, not so far above?
the temps seem to stay about 83F or so. it's just the end of a long, walk-in closet. i have the old box chopped up, in a make shift type wall. got some more corrugated to fix this as well. there is an oscillating fan as well as a stationary fan in there. luckily, the temps have been very low around here.
i also got a veg box running too.
her contents are as follows:
1x WH (accidental) clone.
5x BA
2x WH that just got put back into veg. pretty sure they are ladies.
and i also have a breeding box going. i've got two WH males that are just waiting to do the dirty dirty with.
i might have to collect some pollen though. or will they be fine in there and keep producing flowers? either way, i'll collect some pollen.
i wish i had some time to get some beans out of the ladies that are getting ready to harvest. how long does it take for beans to mature? at least 3 weeks right? closer to 6?
so i think that's about it for the time being. of course i've got some pics for y'all too. hopefully they will make your eyes drool to help wet them from reading this novel. sorry. just had a lot to say.
i'll be better about updating now. promise

Glad your settled in and able to continue
glad to see things back up and running shake... will be waiting for another update...
Stay Up :smokin:
glad to see things moving along again ... about to flip a couple of killa's PRxPK ... i'm getting excited with all his gear!!

Been off the forum for a while, too. You bet you can sign me up for this one.:thumbsup:

Not that sensitive.....i run mine around 1000-1150 ppm almost every feeding after the first week! first week i try to keep the ppm around 600-700 then ill bump them up till i flush! i dont change my feeding schedule around to much....im even trying to simplify it a few steps more this run....
This run im running:
every feeding
1 tsp of Grow Big Hydro
1/2 tsp of Tiger Bloom
1 tbsn. of big Bloom
+
Whatever booster the plant is in: open seseme(early flower/2-3 wks), Bestie Bloomz(when i see flowers on the plants, 1-2 wks), Cha Ching (one week after BB till flush)
still using the feeding/feeding/watering schedule? i've got a clone of the WH in a pellet. that lady is going into a hempy bucket soon.
damn, my tap water is 585ppm. not sure what to do about this. off to do some research.
thanks again for everything.
-shake
Sh*t i thought my 8.5 Ph tap water was bad but at least its around 50-60 ppm...damn bro, id switch to bottled water fast!Quote:

Lookin' dandy Shov...I'm diggin' the "guard pig" next to the plant with the tier transplant!!!Hopin' you're unpacked and comfy...Wishin' all good things for you and yours...
wtf DT? shov? c'mon man. lol! j/k. i bet you were posting in shov's log before mine and it just carried over. lmao. it's all good.Quote:

i'm pretty much got everything unpacked, but as for put up, that's a different story. i had to get aquainted with my space (well it's my wife's closet really, but she's kind enough (haha) to loan me some space til i can deck out the attic (thanks hunny!). first things first and all, right?!
thanks for looking.
-shake
what's good everyone? got an update right quick. (see i told you that i was really gonna try to be better at keeping this log!)
everything still stands as before.
since last time though, we've got solid confirmation on all but one of the WH beans.
"A", "D" & "G" are all confirmed females. the clone that's in veg came off of "D" i believe.
"B" & "F" are both confirmed males. they both are doing fine off to the side in the breeding box (not much as of now, still in the works).
"G" is still in flower, she's starting to throw pistils left and right.
"A" & "D" are still in veg. i've LST'd (sorta just bent them over so far) because they stretched pretty bad. this was my fault with everything going on and whatnot. this is for the males too.
all of the clones from the B.A. didn't make it. no big surprise here as the plant was in pretty bad shape when i got it. B.B. was the better looking (and smelling, trich having plant) anyhow. she's still in flower.
i also started germing on 10/17:
1x B.A. that i found while taking clones. didn't germ though.
2x D.B.P.. out of these one germ'd.
4x TC (tyberius corn, named after who gave me the seeds). just did these for fun. i think most of these germ'd, but i only kept 3.
yesterday, after realizing i've finally got all i need for hempy's i decided to drop some more beans. this time i used jiffy pellets.
so on 10/20 i started:
1x OG kush fem'd
1x dinafem white widow fem'd
1x g13 labs diesel fem'd
1x WH
1x DBP (death by purple)
those will be going into hempy's! yea, about time!
now i need to figure out what to do with my water. it has a pH of 8.18 (not too bad) and about 575 PPM (yikes). i guess it's bottled water for a bit. any other ideas?
i modified the previous monster of a light that i used in flower. i removed 4 bulbs from it and added two fans. air cooled baby! ok, they don't do much, but i had them laying around. hopefully they do something. lol.
i'm now using this light for veg.
i'll be using CFLs for the breeding box for now. i've got plans for some t-5s and stuff in the future.
i think that about sums it up for now. hope all is well with all of you!

Shake,
I had to sort through this sort of stuff before starting DWC, but my water is not as hard as yours.
Do you use a 3 part nutrient system like General Hydronics?
Here's a link to a thread about water chemistry. It may help you do your research and find a solution. It definitely helped me - my room is pretty well dialed in now.
Water Chemistry
so this is considered hard? i was told it was soft. lol. i haven't really looked at anything yet.Quote:

i appreciate the link. i'll tackle that beast tomorrow.
thanks again!

with the boosters, are you using the small end of the scoop stick? 1/4 teaspoon or is it Tbsp? anyhow.Quote:

yo shake are sure your PPM meter is calibrated? on my meter it says 500 ppm is the "max EPA ppm". I assume you are on well water but 550 is pretty damn high and probably not that healthy for even you.
also, i run everything almost the same as killa ... and yes, the small end of the stick is 1/4 tspn.
hope things are going well, peace -sg
hi shake,
you seem to have plants all over the place. do you mind if i ask you how many you have growing, you must be real busy,
im going to start off 2 plants soon... will it take up much of my time, im just wondering coz im pretty busy with college and otherthings at the moment lol
p.s what you aviator says is bang on ..your buds are sweet:rastasmoke:
the meter is brand new and calibrated. when i first got it i calibrated it and checked my water five times vs. the calibration solution.Quote:

what's good indica? i've got 12(9 in flower, 3 in veg) plus another 5 beans that i just started germination on. the other four died. my cab got way too hot yesterday. i wasn't home to keep an eye on everything.Quote:
