your plants are looking good. I'm loooking into growing ponics when I move out in a few months. How much did your entire set up cost? Pricey seeds, i hope they are worth it!

Hey strikerrr, thanks.
My system is really cheap. I made a bubbler for clones and seedlings. $15 and grow buckets $20. Lights 65 watt fluoros $13 each. So I've spent around $100 .
All the seeds sprouted, so I'm happy. We'll see how many females I get.
I would take the short stocky growth...Quote:

Good evening, this is the 7 PM report, Feb 4. All is well at the marijuana farm. Here are the latest pictures. One of the hydro girls was looking a little peaked, so I changed out to coco/peat 50/50. We'll see if that helps.
Stay tuned same bat time, same bat channel.
RIP for your clones turtle.
Looking good Gen, I hope she comes around for you. Go with what works. I haven't had much time, started a new job about 65 miles away. It's suppoed to get closer to home when they see our skills and can let us go by ourselves. What can you do for a 1000 a week and your , your own boss and work the hours you want ? Keep up the good work, I will try and get a few pic's of mine to show. It's week 5 of 12/12. they were small because of problems with my brother. The papaya is stinking up the place and starting to trichome up, even some of the leaves look funny with bumps on them. The buds are small now but will fatten up in the last 3 weeks.
Congratulatons on the job, loc. I'm happy for you. Stay safe.
Thanks too. Would like to see pictures of the funny bumps.
Gen, looking good man, keep up the good work...as long as you love your babies, they will work miracles for you. Here's a pic of one of my finished white rhinos on chop day for some finishing inspiration for you. How long will you veg them for? And these are all from seed, correct?
-sD
Nice nugs, skunky, making me drool all over my keyboard.
I do love these babies; I do, I do, I do.
They've been vegging for 28 days now. Day 1 being the day I put sprouted them. Not too shabby.
Good late morning, this is the 11AM marijuana report. I think we have all girls for the soil grow. Big bertha is the biggest plant. She eats and drinks like a pig. I tried to take a close up of her tiny hairs sticking up, but the camera and I don't agree. I am jazzed; now what to do, what to do? Should I take clones of her and let the biggest main cola grow on? Or should I just leave her alone?
That's all folks, stay tuned, same bat channel, same bat time.
If you know it's a girl, I would clone her...plus topping is a great technique to start perfecting early on...whenever you take 1 clone, you get 2 more tops on your mommy..!
Here's the 12PM marijuana report. Couldn't keep my hands off big bertha. I took two clones. These will be started in plain water and kept in the house under low light conditions in front of kitchen window.
Stay tuned, same bat channel, same bat time.
make sure it's ph'd 5.5 water and that you add a little tiny bit of nute to help them along....i find i have roots in 5 days with this method...just stick them in a large rubbermaid with the top resting on it...plenty of light will get through the lid....
-sD
Hmm for every one clone taken I get two more tops on my mommy? What the jeepers is that Skunky?
Well, I took two clones and left the big main cola. The other plants are lagging behind. I'll let them be for now. This has got to be one of the happiest days of my life.
I 've wanted to grow ever since I started checking out the hydro sites. Those beautiful pictures of buds. That was November 2005. I ordered my seeds and now I am growing. What a high.
Gen, when you top a plant, or cut the top stalk to make a clone, the two little tops that where growing right beneath that top you just cut off will become your new tops...plus it will give the bottom growth time to catch up with the top, therefore giving you a bushy plant to flower, thus producing more budsites or more clones if you leave it in veg to be a mom.Quote:

Doh, I get it skunky.
Now tell me about the rubbermaid? This is what I envision. A large rubbermaid with a opaque lid that will act as a humidity dome since the whole thing is inside. Am I right? So I put my container with clones in water with a ph of 5.5 and a tiny bit of nuts, inside this rubbermaid container. Then leave the whole thing under fluoros or a weak light.
Gen, exactly right! Except, you don't want to leave them sitting in standing water...just mist them from time to time and after about 5 days start taking the lid off for about a couple hours a day till they get used to the relative humidity...you want your medium to be moist...not soaking wet...unless you need to leave them for a couple days alone, then you could put about 1/16 inch of water in the bottom of the rubbermaid and they would stay good for a couple days...but if you need to do this, crack the lid so all that moisture doesn't stay inside the whole time...Goodluck! Cloning is simple once you get the basics down...should be right around 80-85 degrees too...
-sD
Thanks skunky that helps alot! I'm glad you're here to help us.
Here is the 9PM news report from marijuana farming. The girls in the bubbler really need to be moved into larger quarters. They are now getting full sun during the day and supplemental light at night. Tehy have pretty long roots for such small tops. That is the end of the midget report.
Thanks for tuning in folks, same bat time, same bat channel.
Good evening. This is the 8PM marijuana report. Big Bertha is a whooping 14 inches tall. She's a fine looking young lady. The clones are still healthy and green. I'm wondering if the reason they are curled up is because I have them under too strong of light. Will move them to window light. The other soil plant is growing slowly if at all. I had her in coco/perlite. The medium stayed too wet. It did not dry out for 3 days. Too wet. I transplanted again to regular soil. The other plants are doing great. No fatalities so far.
Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel.
Good afternoon, this is the 3 PM report. I'm setting up a swc with a submersible pump. The water level comes to just the bottom of the pot. These plants have really long roots and need a bigger home. The soill grow is going fantastic. I cut 2 clones from Big Bertha and 2 clones from mini. The big bertha second clones are small compared to mini's first clones. I've included pictures of both. I've decided to run an experiment with clones. Two clones sit in a sealed jar with moisture, 2 clones are in a bubbler with water level below the stem, no humidity dome and 2 clones are in a glass of water with stems submerged and a humidity dome. Let the race begin!
So that's all folks, stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel. Be safe.
Gen,
I am absoutly thrilled about your grow and your attitude! I to have just purchased my seeds and am currently a waiting there arrival so I can do a DWC grow!!!!! Keep posting as this is GREAT!!!
zen_larry
Thanks Aprod. Your heart will sing when you get your seeds. I know mine did.
Can't wait to see your grow.
Looking real good Gen. I'm just taking a few minutes to see what's been happening. New job and long hours to start but it will smooth out. Mine are just about 6 weeks flower. I will get a pic tonight. They are not bad for having to go in early. Good luck and keep the green coming.
Thanks loc. Did you flower early? I flowered mine at 10 days of sprouting. I never took measurements either. Doh!
Good afternoon, this is the 12PM marijuana report. First picture is clones in a jar, they are 4 days old. Next picture, hydro plants in a tub, then the roots of a typical hydro plant. Note to self, use the same container. Because I used two different kinds of 4 inch pots, some are hanging lower than the others. Doh!
On to the soil grow and then a close up of Big Bertha. She is starting to show signs of flower. She's big and beautiful! Soil plants have been on 12/12 for 13 days.
That's all folks. Thanks for tuning in, same bat time, same bat channel. Have a great day.
Hello Gen :) well I know nothing at all about Hydro growing I'm affraid :o
However you are doing a really first rate grow journal here and the plants look really very nice :)
Reading with intrest .......................... love mand xxx:)
Hello Mand,
Well how does that saying go? It doesn't matter how you do it, as long as you do. Growing and learning to be self-sufficient.
Thanks
Hello again Gen :) That's the reason I started growing love ;)
It's cheaper than buying it and you don't have to rely on anyone else for it.
bye for now .................. love mand xxx:)
Good evening, this is the 5PM marijuana report.
For the soil grows I have been pushing water and weak fish emulsion. Once I see the slightest bit of yellow, I add more water. In other words, I don't wait for the plant to get dry. This stresses the plant. Today, is the first hint I have that I have been overwatering. So starting right now, I will let them get a bit dryer, before I water.
The second picture is the first clones I cut from big bertha. They are 4 days old. Like a dummy I put them under fluors right away. About, too close. So the plants started to curl. Don't they look like they are trying to pull away from the light? By curling up, less surface area is exposed to the light. I'm suprised they are not yellow. I have been spraying them with a weak kelp solution. No signs of root nodes. I probably stressed them out. Interesting to see if this will cause them to hermie.
Thanks for tuning in folks, I appreciate all your comments. Same bat
channel, same bat time. Have a great evening.
Hi Gen, Don't mean to hijack but here are a couple pic's of mine. The first are ones ready to go to flower. The second ones are 6 weeks of 12/12 started very early. 4 papaya and 2 northern lights. You can see the trichomes on the leaves good. when they first started they looked like funny bumps.
Wow loc, looks like you got it going and going. Beautiful green, gorgeous pictures. I felt like, this is nature raw. What kind of camera is that? I want one.
Please hijack! I like to have dialog. What ever happened to super bitch? When your bro ..... How many plants have you got going?
The camera is a Fuji 6 mega pixal and I'm just learning to use the macro. It's only set on 3 mega pixals. There are 7 plants in there, 4 papaya and 3 Northern lights but 1 nothern punked out on me, just a little stump. I have 4 more papaya ready to go in to 12/12 tonight. Kind of keeping the harvest going. The plants in flower were so small I didn't think they would do much but their coming on good. I tried to clone 3 more papaya and 3 more northerns but the NL's are punking on me and not rooting OH well. I thought my mothers were diying but the papaya came back with a vengence. She will give up many more clones. May keep me going untill I take a break in the heat of the summer. Then I will start some blue mistiq , Nirvana's blue berry. Monster bitch went an extra month because of burn damage and was cut down new years eve. She gave me 8 oz's of dank sticky stone the hell out of you buds. Put you on the couch for about 4 hours. It is more than enough to last till next harvest in about 3 weeks. I'm trying to get enough vacum sealed in mason jars to last over the summer, About 3 months. My buds in flower will really fatten up the last 3 weeks and i'm seeing real good results with the dehumidifier. Average humidity here is about 70 to 80 percent. If you can't get it down they will not produce the trichomes very well as you can see. I'll keep you updated about once a week with pic's. I guees those bumpy leaves would be real good for hash, Now I'm going to have to get some bubble bags. LOL. I'll be back to the bat channel later, keep up the good growing.
Mega pixel number has only to do with how large you want to blow up the picture. The higher the number the larger the blow up without distortion. I got a 4 megapixel and it can handle a picture up to 8X10.
I want some monster bitch! What part of the world do you live in where the relative humidity is 70-80%? Yikes. Do things in your house mildew?
I've been reading about potency of hash and mj. Turns out the hash, because it is very processed will not last as long as unadultered mj. They tested hash stored awhile lost some of it's potency on the outside and was more potent on the inside. Probably because of air degrading the thc. So don't keep that hash around too long. Smoke it.
Good morning, this is the 9 AM marijuana report.
First picture is tomato clone rooted after 12 days. I floated this clone in a swc container with nutes outside and no humidity dome. It did wilt the first day, but came back 100% the next, never showed any signs of nute or sunburn.
Next photo, serrano chili pepper clone. This clone I started 2 months ago. No roots, no bubbler, tap water, no nutes and stuck in a glass of water by a window. Amazing. Next soil grow and hydro vegging plants.
Did you know public and school libraries have marijuana books? At the local community college I found 10 books on mj. I told the librarian I was doing a report on drugs. Yeah, right. Here are some titilating facts from Marijuana Chemistry. "Best strain for fucking, Jamaican (I swear this is what the author wrote); hypnotic intensity, Hawaiian Santa Marta Gold, sophisticated high; Thai, hallucinogenic.
That's all folks. Stay tuned same bat time, same bat channel.
Hi Gen, I live middle east coast US. Right next to Camp Lejune North Carolina. The humidity is rarely under 50 %. Where are you near ? All your plants are looking good man. Way, way back I had to do a demonstration speach in high school. Mine was how to roll 3 different types of joints. All info found in our library. I made a 98, didn't hurt our teacher was a head, we use to smoke with her husband at lunch time. LOL. If your US a little monster could make it your way. I would love for some one else to enjoy it too.
fuck yeah..sick growth..youll be smoking good here in a min.
Hey Loc, I am other side of the US. Southern California, Disneyland.
Don't know how I could get my po box address to you. Do you know how to private message? Cause I sure don't. Did you see the news report where the narcs busted someone for receiving 32 cans of pot? The pot was placed in plastic bags and sealed inside cans. Unbelievable. I don't know how the narcs ever found out. How could the odor escape? Maybe, the package went to the wrong address? so to be safe use a bogus return address. This could be fun.
Good evening this is the 6:30 PM marijuana report. The mj plants are doing fine, but first we have breaking news. Check this out. Two plants per seed. What do you think of that? Pretty cool. This a package of cilantro seeds sprouted in paper towels, wet. This is how close I'm going to plant them. Stay tuned for exciting updates.
Big bertha grew 1/2 inch while she was outside in the sun today. Amazing. The plants are a beautiful, bright healthy green. They are splendid. The hydro girls are doing great. Green and healthy. This morning I checked the temperature of their contaner outside. It was 50 degrees. Yikes. For the past 3 days I have been putting them in cold water. While the inside container is 70 degrees. Hope I don't hermie them. You'r e not supposed to change termperatures, rapidly. Ten degrees either way.
These are the healthiest plants I have ever grown. I'm going to have to do more gardening this summer.
Thanks for tuning in folks, same bat channel, same bat time.
Hi Gen, It looks like we don't have any contact info. I had a hotmail but it's been awhile. I don't want either of us to give a personal email on a post. Trying to figure it out. I have an uncle in LA, west covina and a brother in law near ocean side. I have been there a few times. We have pictures of when Walt Disney himself led the Parade down main street. That's a long time ago. Anyway i got a hotmail. send me an email at [email protected]. PO box or we can figure something out. I'll keep checking my email. Later man
I knew you were cool. So tell us, what are the three ways to roll a joint.
