thanx, corn...
love, kp
Thanks Princess. Yes of coarse I want you to keep trucking, that's all we can do, but at the same time, stop and smell the roses along the drive.
Sounds like everything is doing all right. Now that your getting this in door thing dialed in, it is starting to work like a well oiled machine.
On the ballast, if you don't mind me asking, what is up with the no ordering online? Maybe we can give you some tips to help you get around this problem, you never know what we have in our bags of tricks besides buds that is.
Adieu little lady
dear bear,
good early morn, wanted to say that bb #8 had grown too tall for the box... so i bent her heads over and tied them down... now she's starting to look like sage.
~reasons for no online ordering~
first and foremost, paranoia. how do we know these sights are legit and wont give out personal info? i see every orange street light from point a to b on a drive. they have to know what's up if i just order a ballast and not the hood/pole.
second, no credit card. i live a cash money life, babe.
in general, i'm just afraid of online do's bc of the paper trail. this site is different. we aren't giving out our physical address here...
unless one of you guys has spare...
well, that's all for now folks...oh yeah, almost forgot. how large a pot do you need to keep a clone mom?
take care, sweet bear! love to all...
love, kp:p
I like the cash thinggy as well, but FYI you can go to banks or Waly Marts and get a pre paid credit card that works like a gift card, you can give any name, and use it online no problem. But I under stand your other points. You know I have an extra 400w street light ballast around that was given to me about a year ago, never hooked it up, takes raw wiring, might be a headache, not sure, but I would get it your way if I could. The little thing weighs about 20 pounds. Who knows just trying to help.
Adieu
better late than never.. : )
picture please.. NOW..
thank you

BEAR!!!!
dear sweet bear, how are you today? been thinking about ya. i found a sale item today that caught my eye... it is an incandecent bulb, but a huge one! 300w 6400 lum. wrong color (3200k) but i think i'll give it a shot in the flower box, right under the exhuast to vent the excessive heat (50 cfm).
outdoor girl got a good bud burn today... she grew into the cfl... should i cut this bud now, or let it wait?
bear, if you can find a way to get that ballast to me, i'll shall be endeared to you for the rest of my growing life. i can't find one anywhere! (besides online)
gk, if nothing else, i'll find some pics that are similar, so you can see something... though i absolutely do have to take some pics of sage before the harvest. she is a complete freak of nature!! (gess thats what happens after 8-9 months of veg...
well, i'll be back after the lights change.
love, kp:p
Sorry to hear you are still looking for ballast. I don't have one, but if...:)
went to a hydro store today and saw all I need. Never thought to look for one in this part of NC but there it is!
Anyway, good luck with your grow.
Peace
:twocents:
I think If you can just snip the bud sight and not the branch it may help, because you don't want the plant focusing extra energy to try to develop a crispy bud. Let me see what I can do about getting an email addi to you. I will try to get a hush mail account, but it may take a day to acctavate it.
Let us no how the new bulb works, but be careful with the heat, it may not be worth the traid IMO.
Later dear Princess.
Adieu
ok guys, here's the latest...
the 300w bulb kicks out some awesome yellow light, however, it is WAAAY too hot. might try this somewhere in the basement that doesn't have heat later this winter.
bb's are quite impressive, they're slowing the stretch now. i bent all but one of #8's branches down last night. they still have nothing but hairs yet, but there's more of em'...
took a sample from sage this morn, it is in the drybox right now. hopefully tomorrow, maybe the next...
well, oh yeah! sage's clones are flowering awesome as well. 3 are about 9 inches, 10 nodes, the 4th is about 14 inches, 15 nodes.
bb clones are doing great, the first that were started are vegging jungle like, and the newer ones are starting the veg (yellow tipped leaves tell me they now have roots!)
males are sick... they don't like it outside... but...one looks like he'll bloom tomorrow! i hope so... i'm ready to feed him to the hogs!
n e way, i'll try to find some simillar pix this evening,
love, kp
ps, thank you for the clone help bear! 100% success rate!
~hypotheticle question~
can one part of a plant mature faster than the rest?
love, kp:p
300 watts of HPS light gives you about 30 000 lumens...Quote:

Well, dear Princess I am still trying to get that Hush Mail started and when I do you can drop me a line and we can see if we can get this thinggy to you.
Adieu
that would be an excellent move bear, you should move to London, it's great here - everyone puffs 'n' stuff but the weather is shit - prehaps that's why we puff 'n' stuff so much.Quote:

hi guys,
turns out that i didn't burn sage (came REALY close though). she is starting to smell all fruity...
~remix er er er er er......~
is it possible for one main branch to mature faster than the rest of the plant? need to know if i should cut... i can't get a microscope until next week...
dear bear, my faithful knight of gleaming armour... thanx SO much, ... well, i'll be back when the lights change
love, kp
Yes, a branch may mature faster than others do to more light contact, earlier bud development and so on, and many people do harvest certain parts of the plant letting the rest mature.
By for now Southern Princess
Adieu
~update~
bb #6 and 8, the two lst'd; MONSTERS!!! i love lst. all plants had been topped at one point or another so i have many, many many main branches. the other 3 are groing upward, no lst...
sage's buds are starting to swell. i'll be able to do a trich check next week.
clones are excellent! going to clone two of the bb clones tomorrow (#2 and 8) so, we'll have two new moms...
sages clones are also doing great in flower. i have to make some time soon to rewrite my log dates, so i know who went where when. i know the bb's come off just before christmas (yep, its gonna be a damn good christmas! maybe i'll leave santa some bud and cookies...).
i'm going to harvest sage off the trich check method, bc i don't know exactly when she started. she began flower outside. i'll wait until mostly amber, as i like the couchlock (anxiety and insomnia probs).
that's it in a nutshell, folks. be back latr
love, kp:p
upon 2 hours of stoneful gaze, i have made an observation; one of my bb females doesn't look like the rest of the plants.... hmmm.... well, only other possibillity is trainwreck. don't know much about that strain, but...
back to research...
peace and love, to all my knights, mages, priests, nobles and peasants of kanabis kingdom. i bid you all farewell and sweet dreams. i'll see you in the morn.
love, kp:p
Hey princess, I haven't been on too much, because I am building this new room, and am doing it single handedly for the most part and it is a little difficult to use these power tools with my vision prob, sawzaw, drills and so on, but it is coming around. I had to put a hole new wall that was about nine ft, 2x4's brackets ply wood and all. I have to enclose the door now and turn it into a secret door. After I am all done you won't even be able to tell that there is a 5 by 9 room there, hopefully.
Well, sorry to hear about your (anxiety and insomnia problems, I have bad (insomnia my self at times, and that is one reason that I do what I do, if I light up right before bed I get a decent nights sleep and can sleep most of the night. I know how it feels, some times I wake up at 3 AM and can't go back to sleep or I just lay there for hours and hours.
Well, know your not alone in your struggles. I haven't forgot about the ballast either, just have been working like a mad man to get done before my new ballasts get in so I can get these 12 little girls from under this 175 MH in a really small cabinet into my big cab under a 400w MH for a couple of months and put about 20 more in flower.
Adieu Southern Princess
morning bear,
i love the idea of the secret room... i've had similar notions myself.
outdoor is realy swelling up now.. wonder how long she's got left...
well babe, i gotta go to work now, see ya this evening,
love, kp:p
Got a close friend with a secret room, open bookcase up to get into his bedroom. Really a trip, as is he. Not much else to add, post were at 13 so had to add one quick for luck and where else would I go but to the princess. :)
Peace
:smokin:
aww, hemlock, how sweet...:p
i cloned two clones today... #2 and #8. flower box is getting interesting.
the buds i got from sage are almost ready... but will probably be sampled tonite...
i didn't see sage this eve, had to work late, so my brother changed the light for me and didn't take a good look>:/
how goes the room, bear? hope you're doing well...
well, see you guys after supper...
love, kp:p
Room is trying to come along. Got my other ballasts in the mail today and now they need to be wired, wonder if my wife wants me to do that on my own too? Well if you don't hear from me for about a week then you know that I did it on my own and it didn't work out that well and I am no longer around here in the flesh, only the spirit.
Well, I have allot to do and I am starting to feel like EOr the donky from Poo, but I am not into yelling and throwing fits, so I will just try to suck it up and be patient and take my time to get this done even if I have to do most of it on my own, on top of dishes, laundry, dogs, shoveling snow and little ones.
Lock, I may have to do the book shelf thing, right now I was thinking about a wardrobe and have the back open up, kin of like "The Lion, witch and the Wardrobe." Will be my Narnia.
Adieu
KP, I'm no Martha, but sampling is a *good* thing :)
lol, granny! i hope it's ready soon...
well bear, i gess there's satisfaction in having done it yourself...
love, kp:p
hey, what r u doing on my thread!! get out and stay out!!
~nights, remove her from the palace grounds~
love, kp
ps, friggin imposter plagerizers....
hi guys, well, i woke up at 4am this morn...
so i sat down, here, brought out the bong, and sage's mostly dry sample (still sticky, but, OH MY GOD the smell is fantastic!)
sucked down a bowl, and was kinda dissapointed... two good hits and not much to show for it... so, i packed another... but it has taken me an hour to smoke it. sage is a little creeper! not kind, by any means, but very sativa, with a space age effect...
just wish i had somebody to smoke with.......
love, kp:p
Well, when I take my nation wide road trip to visit the members you'll be at the top with little Stinky and GK and you'll have somebody to smoke with.
Keep your head up Princess
Adieu
ok bear, but you'd have to bring gk and stinky with you...
i think root builder is burning a couple of my clones; they are super rooting, but new growth is yellow and wilted. these are the late bloomers, though, so we'll see how they are tomorrow eve...
sage is EXPLODING! her buds are growing by the minute (or so it seems...). so far i see at least an ounce, maybe 1.5 after dry (past experience gesstimates)
how's your room, bear? coming together? i'd love to see pix, but that would kinda defeat the purpose of a hidden room...
how's the hushmail?
well, see ya when the lights come on!
love, kp:p
Princess, Would love to try sage, but time and space are always a problem.
I have been out for 4 weeks and my first time grow are only a week old today. Oh well, will just wait for a while :)
Bear, sorry to hear about your friends and my thoughts are with you.
Peace to you both
Thanks Lock. KP the hush mail should be affective tomorrow sometime and I already have that out ready to be packed up in a box of peanuts ready to make a mess for you when you open it.
Well as for my room, I put together one of my hoods last night, the thing is 4 FT diameter and took a minute to do on my own, still have one more to do. Wired up the 400w today with wify, nice treat. Picked up some roles of plastic to put on the floor and to help seal the walls of the new room. Got about a dozen clones under a 175 MH about to go under the 400w for two months, they are already about 2 weeks since rooting so they will be about 10 weeks when I flip them into flower. There are about a dozen seedlings about to take their place and 4 old mothers that I am flowering out in the 1K cabinet, about to go in the new 2K room when it is done. I also had to pick up some tarp zippers today and other than the Oder neutralizer that I am going to order on Mon I think I am good as far as having everything, now just the elbow grease. OH, I may fire up the CO2 tank this run if I get around to it.
Wish I could sample Sage, but maybe I will get to meet one of her offspring someday.
As for the struggling clones, I have found that no matter if you cut and treat every clone exactly the same, some just are a little weaker and have a harder time for what ever reason and that's the breaks.
PS, when the room is complete, maybe I will give a one time shot of it for you. Adieu
If you wanna save money you can call a local electrical supply and just ask for a 400w HPS multi tap transformer kit with capacitor and ignitor. Like $110 And those poor males you are torturing please just kill them. Torturing plants is bad grow karma. ANSI s 51 is any 400 hps ballast. Ansi m-59 Is any 400w M.H.
well creac, soon as males give me some pollen, it is to the hogs they go...
400w hps multi tap... does this mean you can run more than one bulb?
to hemlock, some of sage will go into storage for safe keeping (you ever hid a stash and forgot until you ran out for a few days?) her offspring will also be around. some...where...over the rainbow...
did a trich check on sage... (got my microscope(60-100x) today) only about half cloudy yet, the rest are clear...
bb's are starting to look like buds. now they have tons of hairs.
sounds like the room is almost done, bear...(putting my little lab to shame...)
clones are good, even the two wierd ones (they're in smaller pots, too; think that might be a prob.) i expect to flower off 5 clones in a few days, keeping the other 5 for moms. i've got to clone sage's clones too... and who knows? maybe this spring, a bird will come by, accidently eat a bud whilst trying to catch a bug, then the bird migrates to alaska, craps on your car; then you see these perdy little seeds in the crap...hose off the car, scattering the seeds into the lawn...two months later you'll have the nicest yard with prettiest grass, lol...
going to cross sage with a bb male, if the males ever put out!!!
well, be back soon, gotta go do some chores...
love, kp :p
ps. i LOVE peanuts, babe! you ought to do christmas at my place some time... (you'd prob never come back; run off screaming, "that damn psyco broad! she's tring to kill me by smoking that wakky with me... somebody call 911! she's insane; trying to hold me up with friggin p-nuts...) lol, just joking bear; a trip down memory lane, if you will...
well, luv, luv, luv, luv, luv....
love, kp; again :p
pps. if sage is this good now, i wonder how she'll do fully ripe...
Multi tap transformers can run off 120 or 240 volts. Kill all the plants you want just have some mercy. Like if you dont want any pollen kill males right away trust me.
hey, the worst they got was yesterday morn, 31 degrees when i went to work and they went outside. other than that, the are the most spoiled POW's you'll ever see...
but i need seeds, so... i hope they friggin bloom today...
love, kp :p
I didnt think you were using the pollen. Its fine to keep em around if you r gonna use em. Without proper care it will be hard to tell Which male has superior genes. Healthy males = Healthy offspring.
two males are bb's, the deffinition of health, the third, vine like, think he's trainwreck, got bit by the cold this morn; he may not make it... tops are dead, don't know about the rest yet. bb's didn't have a prob with the cold this morn...
love, kp :p
