Nice log.
I hope mine turn out these nice.
Ohhey KD... did you notice NoChowderForYou's avatar... that's what Mrs. Doughboy is going to look like 9 months from now... :eek:
I think I just vurped when I looked at that sight.....
You know when you Vomit from a burp then sallow it again....... Only this time I didn't burp it was more of a Gag.....
Who here like trailer park boys?
kd
I like how you have the stump revegging...that's gonna be cool looking.
If you are gonna move those seedling children of your mom, you should do it soon before they get too intertwined with her roots which are probably all over that pot already.
Im looking forward to watching you grow out some of the seeds you bred. Good job!!
yeah I plan to actully throw away all of those plants I was just growing them to grow somthing.
After Xmas I plan to start seeds properly 8 of them 4 of my mix and 4 of a good friends. As well I think I might stress one of the females to get a clone. These two females have grown much differently I think It might be a good idea to sacrafice the smaller female plants health to get a Robust mommy plant for future use. This strain is supposed to be a 80x20 sativa x indica mix. So the fact that this one plant grew small and showed more vigor than the rest is good thing for me considering my conditions.
So then I will try and house my first Mom. Its gonna be tight. i'll make it work.

To answer your question.. I love Trailer Park Boys, possibly the funniest show around! Too bad its only on Canadian channels..
Merry xmas All... Im back and my plants Look pretyt good. I got to be sure to get My Ph In check as last time I watered My RunOff was Low at 6.0 and that was watering with 8.5ph Water. I am going to add some lime to the top of the soil. I read about this method in the Grow Bible. Notice the continual Purpal stems and veins, This will get worse really soon if I don't fix my Ph. I know cuz it happened to me with my seeding plant.
These plants are exactly 2 weeks at 12/12 42 ft T5 2000L 26W Each bulb and 2 T15 800L 30 W Each
Notice the difference between the two plants. One is a good 4 inces taller. This is a 80x20 Sative Indica Mix, I guess that I got genitics from one of each. I must get a clone of this smaller shorter plant or re veg it. It is perfect in my small cab situation. The other plant just keeps stretching into the light. I have to tie it down daily almost. Hopefully it will slow up a bit soon.
And below I am preping for clones so I can make some Moms for my setup.
Happy Holidays All...
kd
No Comments? I should ahve put a picture with the dogh boy in the pictures.. hahahahhahaha
I think they plants are looking good. I meant to grab a clone today but I sleept in and missed my chance, Now the cab is closed up untill tonight. Look like I'll have to wait.
Does anyone know if its bad to take a clone when the loght is just comming on? Should I wait untill the light is turing off.
I usually water when the light is turing off incase there is any stress from being soaked, Unfortunaly today I will have to water when the light comes on.

Thanks for keeping up the great log, even though those aren't responding we are here....loving the updates. B
Heres where they at 2.5 Weeks. Looking fairly happy and the Hairs are starting to grow well.
the taller plant of the two has some lightly coloured white hair tips. They almost like like purpal or orange tips.
the smaller plant has nothing but clean white hairs.
Heres the lower part of the cab, the plant re vegging is starting to look like a plant again, and some clones I took from the top of the cab.

Things seem to be growing nicely for you. Just wondering where you got your ho 5t lights. Found http://www.plantlightinghydroponics....ht-p-1934.html to be cheap in the US but the UPS brokerage fees seem to kill the price difference. Bustan has them for like 240 for the 4 times 2 feet. Might be picking up the 8 times 2 feet. Have you noticed a difference from cfl?
Hey Pasfol... I paid top dollar for the T5 at bustan. I believe it was $245 + Tax ------ $285 Tax In.
I looked at it like. They warrenty it, If it doesn't work you just go in and they'll give you another one bulbs and all etc.. If the lights go out plants stop growing. Thats nothing I would want to happen then have to chase somone on ebay or online. If somthing happens I go back to the store and come home with replacement.
Anything happening with your cab?
Its worth the extra cash for piece of mind. :o
kd
Well I wish you replied sooner, didn't think of that before I caved in and ordered. I got the same t5 setup for 125 US with the 6500, also a switchable ballast 400w, and a bulb for each mh/hps. The mh was a specific one that outputs at 6500k which cost 65 usd.
The ups should be an extra 100 though. I basically saved myself from buying a second ballast this way. The t5 will be for new clones, mh/hps for growth/flowering. Still going over timing in my head and when clones will be taken so on. First grow if male/female will just make seeds for backup dont want to spend the money for them again for the same strain at least.
Left them at 29.2 c when I left for a party which I'm not back from yet, I hope the temp didn't rise. Was playing with new lights and exhaust.
So here they are at 3 weeks, A full 3 weeks and one day...
SO new year here with good stuff. One I decided to stop smokin'. Mary J that is Cigerettes are for Fags. I will never puff one of those bastards again.
Somtimes you hit a block and all your doing is getting HIgh and ignoring all the things that are around you. Trust me I am a firm believer of smoking and doing stuff. But lately the weed that I have been getting does nothing but put me to sleep or make me somwhat angry. And If I want really good weed I have to pay out the ass for it. I honestly feel that I have been smoking the same bud for 5 years now. Cuz I really don't get Laughing High, Like I rembered when I first started smoking the Cron, 10 years ago. I have been high like everyday since I was about 17 and im 27 now. 10 years, Its almost boring to me now.
plus my gf and I smoke too much collectivily, lets face it its not cheep. I don't even want to try and count the numbers of how much money I have spent on Pot i would start to cry. Heres one thought that always gets me. I see a nice sweater Or CDs or DVD anything really in a store i think its awsome. I look at the price tag it says 60 bucks. im like wohhh wait thats a rip off I wont buy that nice sweater for myself I can find a less hip sweater for 20 bucks at Bargan Harolds and not look so cool. But jo blow dealer will offer me a 1/4 for 60 bucks and im like thats a good deal. without even thinking. Thats my little rant.
Basically no dope untill this crop come through and then hopfully I can make the transition back to a recational smoker. not that I really ever rember being one. but I think some time I was. So its been 2 days with no Chizzle. So far sleeping isn't happening too well. im reading a hell of a lot though. just its not making me sleepy. But you know honestly I'm looking foward to not smoking for a bit and then enjoying the fruits of my labour. I garuntee this weed will be far better quality than the Canadain bullshit we find on the streets in TO. they use chemicals man Probs MG and grow far to much Indica. Its cheep and yes little kids love to buy it, but it tastes like garbage and stinks like ass.
Well with that said. good night all.. OR good morrning for some.
Enjoy the pictures. They seem happy but my runoff is still sitting low at a 6.0 steady. I want to get it up so I can not lockout P... I bet that would help the purpal stems.... I forgot to mention these plants are only in One gallon containers due to space restrictions. I could do bigger but I wanted to see the difference between the two pots sizes. So far pretty decent results I think.
kd_special ;)
And some pictures of the Re Veged Seeding PLant Its time to start tieing it down soon and preparing to sleect a clone or two. Or I could just flower it all cuz I don't really care about this strain. Its mainly indica and Its the plant I sexed so I am more interested in what Mix I created than the original. Notice the little seedlings in there they are holding up well with little to no Attention. They are the cross I made.
Why wont my Mind get tired... Its wide awake,,, but my body is aching and screaming for sleep. Its gonna be a long ruff week...
kd
Hey this is looking great KD.
I wanted to drop you a line and let you know, that the sleep gets better. I've been a smoker for 14 years. I've had many times I've had to quit due to health issues or it being dry in my area and it usually takes me three to four days to get my sleep patterns back in order. After a week, you're gold (i've noticed this is when the giggles come back after smoking too). When I am smoking, it definitley isn't 'casual', more like all day everyday, so I'd imagine your recovery time should be similar to mine. Another tip, don't let the reading keep you up at night...sometimes the time gets away from you and makes it harder to sleep once you realize how late it is and for 'crying out loud' you're still awake. LOL....I totally agree with you about the sweater analogy...Happy NOT tokin until harvest, just wait, if you haven't had a dry out in ten years it will be THE BOMB! And congrats on quitting cigarettes, let us know how it goes. B
thanks for the positive comments Duder.....
yeah sleep has come easier now than before my GF is going nuts though,,, I keep telling her shes gotta stick with it but shes quitting smoking too. thats a hard one, Everytime she trys to quit its like im quitting all over again. The moods that tobbaco can put you in when you don't have any... its a crime to sell that stuff...
kd
KD just out of curiosity... thos lil babies... are they from seeds that fell off the female? lol! Cute! You can always repot them before its too late... nice big soil ball with them...?
Yes Stinky they are from seeds that fell off into the soil. I wasn't too sure what to do with them cuz I really just neglect them. Thats good to know that they are growing well. with little care.Quote:

I took some clones from the current plants I hope they root soon these will be my main concern as they are a sativa strain..
kd
Ohh as well I think I may have promissed my GF that I would leave those little ones in the pot as is. She thought it was cute too......
guys think its cool... Gurls they think its cute!!!!
kd
Hey great log kd. Keep it up! :)
I agree that a lot of street weed in TO sucks, but the street meat is great. I'm also more a fan of sativas and not couch-lock highs (usually, NL is one of my fav. strains though). After moving to BC I've never once seen that really wet, dark, bright-orange haired pot you find in Ontario that just makes your head buzz and will give you the spins every time if you're even slightly drunk. I hate that shit.
I also want to stop smoking so much, and recently had a sort of revelation like you had, except instead of clothes or other things I've been thinking why shell out $50 for a QZ when I could pick up $50 worth of grow supplies instead and invest in better, cheaper, more rewarding homegrown. We'll see how that waiting goes though! From 4 QZs saved I could buy one of those expensive Vortex fans I have my eye on.
But cutting down on pot is hard because until 1-2 months ago I smoked cigs as well. Old habits... I feel your GFs pain too. After a big meal and while drinking it's hard to not smoke anything.
Good luck with your grow and your hiatus / decrease in smoking.
Sorry for rambling so much in your log dude. Heh I just came here to find some info in another thread but I always end up reading a lot more.
Yeah I wanted to move to BC but my job is here and I would have to start from the bottom if I moved to BC. But its so nice out there.. I was in love the second I got off the plane and saw mountains. yeah ontario weed is bullshit unless its from a good friend or somthing..Quote:

Yeah, your thread is great. I want to start growing some just for my own consumption... Where do you get you good seeds? I know that your first trial grow was with bagged, (which is what I'll do) but where do you get you good seeds?
I wouldn't recommend moving here just for the pot anyway. Mountains and ocean, now those are some damn good reasons to move out here. It really is such a contrast landing in Vancouver coming from Pearson. Especially in the winter! Anyway you live where you can make money, such is life.
Oh I woudn't be moving there for the Pot it wouyld definitly be for the mountains.
When I was there I climbed two peaks of Grouse Mountain. You started the hike at the ski resort so its not the grouse Grind. I have done that to it was fun but nothing like this.
I believe the ones I went up on 2 different days were GOAT and CROWN. One of them is the Big Square shaped rock you can see from the ski resort. When I climed up that I was so scared. We meet a ski resort guide half way who was taking a little break and he advised us not to venture up there cuz the season had no snow so there was alot of bare rock showing. He said no one had been up that way all year, this was in FEB. It showed becasue the signs for the trail were buried. And you could not see any reconizable size path, somtimes the snow was a deep as my mid waste and im 6'5" I trusted the 18 yr old Van city native I was with. he was like right on!! lets get going. I followed and had more fun than any high could ever give me. We were supposed to smoke at the top but I was scared cuz going down it was so steap and it was all bare rock. We had gear Cramp Ons Ice picks all the stuff, We never used any ropes or anything, Which he later told me we should have in certin parts (Roped in was the term he used) but there was no time if we wanted to make the top and back. he didn't want to tell me that untill we were on safer grounds. hahaha little bastard. I rember it was cloudy dark and windy. but I am so glad I kept on going. No High could ever compare to that much Fun.
the second picture is from the top of the Crown which was so scary I only stayed up there for like 3mins cuz it was a 500foot drop on the other side, and it was all snow so we couldn't see where the rock edge ended and it was about a 5 x 5 foot pad to stand on.
kd
That sounds like a shitload of fun kd! Great photos too man. I still haven't seen a lot of BC, so I'll have to put Grouse mountain on the list of things to see here.
I hiked up to the Flute at Whistler with some friends, just about 20 mins past the highest lift. We smoked a blunt and snowboarded down. But what you said is true, you don't need to be high on pot when you're doing something awesome like that anyway because you're buzzin on the good times! I didn't smoke the first time I went up a couple days before that because I was falling down the mountain still.
Yeah, I've only been here a few years but it's easy to call BC home.
(ha ha, you can tell i'm a geek from that first pic eh?!)
and you can tell I'm stoned because I forgot to include that "first pic" :rastasmoke: some nice nugs I took to Whistler. :thumbsup:
Yeah when you do go up to Grouse, If you stand just out side the Chalet looking at the Ice skateing rink look up to you left at the highest peak, you will see a big square shaped rock. I believe that point is called Crown. thats where the picture is from. I believe Grouse has a decent snowboard park as well.

Hello All...
After a long weeknd with the flu. I was able to get some pictures. They all look nice. Im not really sure what to do with the Re-Vegging plant. I could try and flower it but I don't know what will happen perhaps I will get a
"BALL-O-BUD" or it wil be just hard to manage as there is no real stalk just node after node. still thinking about that one...
The flowering plants are One day shy of four weeks in flower.
I also picked up some good stuff called Synergy made by BIO-GENSIS. Its supposed to help my plants take in food better and add vigor and growth to them. Looks like pretty good stuff. Gave some to them yesterday we will see if anything is better or worse in the upcomming weeks. Its an All organic product with the OMRI label and all.
hope no one else has the flu I gotz its terrible.
kd
I was in the box working around and took some pictures.
the buds are loooking nice, Getting pretty crystally. I am having a hard time finding a magnifying glass. I can find ones that are like 5x but I understand I would want atleast a 10X veiw.
Regardless they look nice Ill be honest though they don't smell that great. It almost smells like a barn. But I did touch a bud by acident and my finger after stank like fresh sticky icky...
The Revegged plant is looking nice too I think im gonna take a clone from it in a few days then flower it. I hope the seedlings make it through the process. hahahah
kd
This weekend I actully had some time to do things.
I took two clones from the re vegged plant. Then I decided to cram it into the top of the box to flower. It has alot of shoots and two seedlings in the 3 gallon pot. This is gonna be pretty interesting.
The sad looking clones pictured with the two new clones have just started to show roots comming out the bottom of the rockwell not on all of them though. I plan to get those in soil when all show their roots. Hopefully they will come back and be able to be mom plants. As well as the newly clipped clones.
the top of the cab is pretty crammed with that 3 gallon pail. It will be interesting to see how much it stretches and how much less light the other plants which have about 3 weeks left will be able to use with their new rommie.
kd
3 days from 6 weeks flowering.............
They are looking good. A little burnt from heat or nutes. nothing that looks too major though.
I had a question This strain is supposed to flower for seven to nine weeks. Im comming on week six should I be starting to only feed with plain water?
Is there a certin stage identifiable in the plants life that I should start to feed with plain water?
I need to get a magnifying glass but im having trouble finding one higher than 5X which I think wouldn't be strong enough. The trichcombs seem to be turning solid white. Everyday I am able to see more and more trichcs. I have yet to see any ambre with my naked eye.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks kindly
kd
Nice kdspecial, what a great example of T5 lights at work (with gardening skills of course ;) ). Sweet looking buds. Someone in another forum was asking about T5 grows...I'm gonna point them over here.
Thanks Doco,,,,, Im liking the T5 so far it allows me to grow in my apartment. It was expensive but worth it, the reflector its made with is key.Quote:

That looks great kd! :)
I picked up a 30x magnifier for $10 yesterday (Circuit City). It has a little 8x magnifier on it as well and I was surprised at how much bigger 8x is. If you can get more than 10x though I say go for it.
When did your clones stems turn purple like that? I have some that are doing that and I have no idea why. They look ok other than that so I'm just ignoring it for now, but it is spreading through the entire stalk.
-canuck :jointsmile:
Yeha basically when I cut them they turn colour. My plants show these signs somtimes as well. I have yet to figure out exactly what the cause is. Im guessing its somthing that the ProMix does not have in it. Like a Micronutrient. Or improper nuterient balance.
the problem is there are so many possible things that could cause red stems and Veins on the stalk. Cold weather, Strain, miconutrient, Ph lockout.. It goes on and on. basically I was losing my mind over it and I just said fuk it. The plants look healthy. besides that.
I figure when I start mixing some compost with my pro Mix I will have less red in the stems and veins.
It can even go back to seeds. The grow shop fellow I have become decent friends with basically said to me. What do you want plants naturally will change colours depending on thier food / enviroment / and strain. Dont sweat it so much. As you grow as a grower you will learn more and you will see less RED...
Im planting some new seeds, tonight I will apply my knowledge and see if they still go purpal. I bet they dont go as purpal/.
thanks for stopping by
kd
nice dude
Cool man that's good to know. :) It freaked me out at first two when I saw it on the big girls then I did the same as you and said fuck it. :jointsmile:
I ahve ordered a 30X jewlers eye piece. I hope this arrives in time for me to be able to harvest at the perfect time. As of tommrow it will be 6 weeks flowering, of a strain that says it takes 7 to 9 weeks to finish. I think I will be feeding just Phd water from now on in.
TO be honest my plants may look nice but they smell like ass. They smell very similar to my BIO-GENSIS Organic solutions. So just to be certin I don't actully flush my plants do I (3 to 1 ratio of water)? I just water them for the next week or two with plain water and allow 10% run off correct?
I hope they start to smell nicer when I satrt the plain water feedings. If not ohh well they loko like they will be nice..
kd
Still Rolling here.......
Starting some new things in the bottom of the Cab...
Got one healthy clone that stuck through, Took one clone from the Seeding plant. Then I took the ReVegged plant and stuck it back in flower.
The revegged seeding plant has been in flowering for one full week, and its stretching like crazy cuz it far from the light. It will have to wait untill my bigger plants finish.
I also started some seeds from a Fellow Grower from these boards, as well as my own. BlueJay x BoggleGum
Enjoy the pics,..,
