alright dude... Ive racked my brain too much trying to figure out what game your avatar is from. You must tell me.
Well as far as soil, we do have Cactus, Ross Moss, Zinnia, various herbs and 2 clones that I said I would try and get going for a friend who is growing outside. Also have my Corn and flower garden outside. My big thing with soil is I think I would have bugs from hell around here!! :wtf:
As for the Avatar .......... The original Everquest. :thumbsup:
Yes bugs are annoying... When I was in VA, I had two plants going in a micro cab in a closet in the basement lol. Sometimes when I would check on them there would be big wasps inside! How they got into the house and into the sealed cab in a closet is beyond me. Several times this happened.
Friggin EQ! When EQ was big I was into FPS and FPS only. I did try EQ2 though... wasnt that good. Do you still play?
I left EQ for a couple years when WoW came out but that was just to simple so I went back to EQ and yup still play :thumbsup:
Have roots showing from 3 of the original batch of clones. If they really start popping I'll pull out another tray with Hydrotron in it and get the lil buggers going a lil :D
Oh god not WoW... Me and my wife played for maybe 4 or more years. It was fun when things were hard like when they would lock us out of MC for fear of progressing too fast. Its turned into a childrens game where you dont need to put any effort in to get purples... Boo to that game!
Have you tried any other MMOs? I played Aion for awhile and thats a fun game. Warhammer online is alright. Trying Star Trek online now and its surprisingly good.
Obsessively playing modern warfare 2 and bad company2 right now. PC ONLY PEOPLE OK? No consoles!
In case you cant tell I love my video games.
Speaking of clones I got a bag of rapid rooters like you and many others suggested. Just waiting on the Blue Mystic to get bigger.
Ok we have 5 showing roots this morning and tonite I will set up a tray with Hydrotron to put them in for now.
Good to hear.Quote:

Normally I go from RR under the dome to bucket with Hydrotron but since I had so much trouble with clones I had to break out the second tray with Hydrotron in it to have some place to put the rooted clones before their roots dried out and let the others catch up. Hopefully they will go in buckets this weekend.
Btw my second batch of clones is now 10/10 with roots :D
Nice... hope I have some success this time trying to clone.
Well I have 17 clones to go into the system but still not sure about 1 of them. Will try and get pics up later but busy as hell atm. Got 2 grows going, trying to start the third, revamped a few things in grow room, trying to get bike ready for motorcycle week in Laconia and work FT. I'm beat :wtf3:
I know I have promised pics and they are coming I have been "remodeling" my room and not allot of room with 17 clones in there lol. Have 1 or 2 more things to do then will snap pics and post. Leaving Monday for Bike Week!!!
man i need a room like yours , lookin good man but who will be watch ur girls while ur at bike week?
Outside of adding water to my Cab and to Moma everything else is pretty much on automatic pilot :D
My GF's son lives with us and I have been showing him what he needs to know and labeling the water jugs as who gets what when ..........
not to mention I'll program the phone to get me on speed dial hehe :cool:
Ok if I have never said it before I'll say it now ...... you MUST soak your hydrotron in PH balanced water until the water is at the ph needed so it might take a couple times of soaking to get PH down. That being said guess what I didnt do .......... constant PH rise and only thing I can think of is a 50# bag of Hydrotron was added to what I already had and it got rinsed real well but didnt think ahead and didnt have time to soak as clones were going into their buckets :mad:
I want auto pilot... not fair.
So the clones are having a hard time? I hope you didnt lose them.
lol did you give a crash course in keeping the ladies alive? Probably ended with something like, "... if not ill kick your ass.".
no the clones are still doing fine except for the 1 I doubted would make it, that 1 still looks like shit. I have been adjusting after every flood so it has not gone above 6.5 at all. I have been dropping down to 5.5 to try and offset what was going on and it might be working. When I got up this morning PH in rez was 6.2, not bad but not what I want. Dropped PH in rez down to 5.5, like I have about 10 times or so now, and when I came home for lunch PH was at 5.8 which is my magic number. Only 1 flood took place after I readjusted PH this morning. Left PH alone at lunch and waiting for flood atm so I can go check it again.
Side note about grows done in the basement, the stairs get really old after awhile :wtf:

LOL Dru you gave me a great idea, I gotta get me a sound recording of jungle sounds like the birds squaking and lion roars and shit and play it in the grow room the next time I take a Visitor inside to take a peek :jointsmile:
Oh BTW have a new DIY idea for all those who wish to save money and I'm talking $40 per item. Will post this afternoon along with room pics (yes I will post TODAY!!) and hopefully we can all save some cash!
Ok first 3 are of course the plants and as you can see are doing really well considering the PH battle that has been going on. Btw I won the battle today!! Ph is now stabile. The next 2 pics will show that I added another fan and they are on the walls to save on room. Heater and dehumidifier are now at seperate ends of the room.
Yup more pics of improvements. Last run I was forced into using the HPS bulbs for vegging and I was not happy with that, so I came up with a quick and easy solution. I kinda "borrowed" 3 of my shop lights from the garage and bought 2 more along with a case of Daylight bulbs. Couple spare pieces of 2x4 and when I didnt have any more took a couple of 10' 3/4" PCV pipes and cut them both in half. A little chain and some S hooks and Booya!! Veg lights :D Another problem I was having was many air leaks. No smell getting out but my passive intakes were doing nothing with cracks around pipes, wiring, floor supports and floor itself in a few spots. Solution?? Great Stuff Foam sealant. Only fault this stuff has is once you start using a can, thats it it can not be stored and used again. Plan out how much you need to seal, buy the right size can and do it all at once.
Ok we all know that we want to take advantage of every lil bit of space we have so we say "hey lets get a wall mounted fan!!". $69.95 plus tax, shipping, retirement plan, presidental campaign and such. I"m not going to pay that but what shall I do. Go to home dePOT and buy a 16" pedastal fan. walk down a couple isles and get a flag mounting bracket. The mounting bracket has a 1" hole in it which is also the same size as the top section of pipe with your fan. Mount bracket where needed, cut top section of pipe at desired length, insert into bracket, plug in and turn on. BOOYA!!!
Cost $30 and the bracket is adjustable for different angles :D
I'm loving the fan idea. Thanks I'm off to the store.
Hope you have a good ride. Ahh laconia. I was trying to get out there this year. Economy/kids/bills you get the idea. Anyway keep the shiny side up. Take lots of pics.:thumbsup:
Tiny:
Great setup good ideas you share....must be nice to have that much room to grow. Can't wait to see the results. :)
:thumbsup: Tiny you need to paint those buckets with white paint.
A ques. why does everyone use so much Hydroton?? I use a 6" net pot in a 5 gal. bucket, and the roots fill the bucket.
Am I missing something??
really a nice room your setting up
Daddy
Nice pictures. I like the fan...
Daddy what's up with the white paint??
and heat, it really helps in preventing radiant heating of the buckets. It is no substitute for a water chiller or air cond. but its a lot cheaper and every little bit helps, but maybe with all the hydroton you use the heat doesn't get trapped in the buckets like mine does with lids and smaller net pots??
Daddy
Tiny:
What's your time/flow cycle when you start out when plants are small in your buckets? I am 3 or 4 weeks behind you with same ebb and flow setup. :)
First 2 weeks 1/2 strength nutes flood 4 times a day for 15 mins each. Floros on 24/7. Starting week 3, as long as weeks 1 & 2 gave me the growth I want, Turn on the big lights for 18/6 and flood 5 times a day but not at "night" time. If you have an MH bulb for your big light(s) then use it starting week 3 but if you are like me and cant get an MH bulb, has to be conversion bulb for 600w, HPS will work also.
Daddy thanks for the headsup on the bucket thing :thumbsup:
Thanks Tiny, will follow that advise and post pics once I get to that point. :)Quote:

As the title says I am back. Lets some up Bike week. The person I was suppose to borrow a trailer from basically lied to me so no trailer and no bike! :mad: Didnt find out till Monday morning when I was leaving. Went down to the main area once during the whole week. Bought a few t-shirts, new bags for bike and of course made a trip down to Manchester to buy a new smoke piece :jointsmile:
Other than that bike week sucked for me ......... then I came home and it went downhill :wtf:
Directions: if ph goes up to 6.0 add 15 ml ph down.
results: ph is at 5.4 and (I still dont get it) I have more water in my rez than when I left and ppm is up to about 1100????? :wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:
Next year I might be looking for a babysitter!!
I like babies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about bike week. I got a friend in Michigan that goes to most all bike weeks but he is coming to the crystal coast for vacation next week and might not have gone. I don't have a bike but he has an extra fatboy he lets me ride when he comes and I have a few fatones for him too. He is just getting his mmj card up there and wants to setup a grow room. He said his job place he's been at over 20 years is OK with it if he has the card. This is a big company that will let you go quick on this one if your illeagle.
Ramblin--- Good to have you back.
Welcome back dude... sorry to hear bike week wasnt awesome for you.
lol the only person I trust with my ladies is my wife. I would worry the whole time if I had someone watching them.
well it seems that all of my ladies are doing well and not showing signs of abuse after my trip. wanted to wait a few days before saying that lol.
Will post some pics as they have grown a lil. Still doing improvements to the room. I swear that never ends. Pretty easy atm since still 24/7 with floros so atleast I can see ....... that helps a little
Anything going on worthy of pictures?
-C
I'll get some pics up by tomorrow morning at the latest. Been back to work 2 days now and am remembering how much it hurts to work :(
There's only one work that doesn't hurt.
