I mean it gets cool in the closet, but there are times when I dont have the door open for a while and it gets a little carried away. I'll see what I can do, what if I just turned up the fan. . .lol. I don't know what to do, maybe ill just change that light. . .
Here are the most current picks. . .Starting to get alot more hairs, can't wait to smoke it. I have changed my lights to only CFL's. Hopefully it won't effect my havest to much. . .
So I plan on Super curring my crops. . . here are the steps:
1) hang dry
2) glass jar cure
3) Refrigorator cure
4) Freezer super cure
Now, I am not going to do this for all the buds. but maybe like a 1/2oz will get past the glass jar stage and get saved for July. . . can't wait. . .
P.S. Here's the "oops" clone that was cut in the earlyer post, as you can see, it is doing alot of growing and I need to put it under another light soon. . .
This clone is growing to slow. . .
Patience grasshopper.

False alarm, it was actually a bunch of cuttings I took that were smelling up the closet.
What if I wanted it to smell more. . .
This is random but can't I just put a box of Arm & Hammer in there to kill the smell. . .
No. LOLOLOL!
heh, thought I'd put it out there. . . I want to find a cheap and easy way to put CO2 in the room. . . this is such a half-ass grow. . .lol
Yeast, sugar, and water in milk jugs. Punch a hole and run some aquarium tubing.There are pics on my thread somewhere.
love the pic of the puddy cat ..oh and congrats on the girl !! :p
I'll look, i heard you could just spray a canister every once and a while and that could do it. . . I'd rather go with yours though.
I did before today. Look what the little bastard did to my clone. . .Quote:

Damn, yo. That clone looks munched on. You better put a leash on that pussy of yours. LOL. Very expensive catnip, that is. :)
Glad to see that the boards are picking up. Guess spring break is winding up...? :D
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Yeah, he's a bastard. It seem to be doing fine though (knock on wood), their's not even browning. . .
Spring break here is in April. . .
MMMM, tasty . . .
it's fuckin hairy, I'm wondering what I can do to bulk it up. . .
I haven't updated in a while. . . Not much change, getting thicker, Tric's are on their way, and I think I got like 3-4 weeks before cutting. Let me know where you think I am at. . .
I took some close ups of the main two colas, that last shot is a close up on one of the lower colas. . .
Here is my clone. . .Still alive no thanks to this little shit on the right. . .
looking good babe :p
I think if you plan on harvesting that soon you need to add molasses to your waterings, if you haven't started doing so already.Quote:

I mean go out and buy blackstrap molasses. The really dark shit. If all you can get is the other, that'll do. Hang on, let me dig up a link for you so you'll know I'm not just talking outta my fine ass....
Here ya go Molasses is Sweet Organic Goodness - The Garden's Cure
Another link you might like, from the same folks.
The 3LB's Guano Guide- The Scoop on Poop
I will get right on that today after work. Where would be a good place to find it. Is it a home depot thing, or can I go to this organic food store near my work? It would be called Blackstrap Molasses right? I'm not looking for any certain brand?
Hey, FV. Am I mistaken or are you only using CFLs? I thought you had an HPS up there, but I don't see it in the pic. Hmm. It would probably help to get those CFLs WAY closer than they are in the pic. For vegging, I've noticed they can go a bit further, but they've gotta be within 2-3 inches for flowering. If you've got proper ventilation/exhaust and a fan blowing over the bulbs, they should be okay with the heat.
Is that aluminum foil I see on the walls there?!?! :what:
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Yeah there is a Hps in the back there somewhere, and yeah I moved the lights back for the pics. I heard that you can use the dull side of tin foil, instead of the reflective side, with good results. . .
Dude, you can get it at the grocery store. Any grocery store except the cutrate ones. Just to give you a notion of what to look for, Brer Rabbit and Grandma's are two brands. But it really doesn't matter who makes it. If anyone asks why you're buying it, tell them you're going to make gingersnaps.Quote:

Mmmm gingersnaps, what are those again? I don't think i got to worry around here, everyones a stoner around here. I hope this health food place has it.. .
I heard those blankets just eat/bend all the light. I was originally using these white vynil posters, but I put the foil there since I had the lights so close to the wall. . .
The health food place will probably also have a brand of organic unrefined sugar called Sucanat. You can mix that in too. The first link I gave you mentions it I think.
Oh, come on, Mrs. G. I'm not that bad, am I? I'm just pointing out things that I've read. :o Just thought he knew that.Quote:

I think using the dull side of the foil is to prevent hot spots that might come from wrinkled foil concentrating light onto one point and making your leaves look polka-dotted. Using the dull side is probably better than using the shiny side...unless you can maybe get the shiny side pasted onto the wall absolutely perfectly flat, which still might not be the best and is surely close to impossible.
Even if foil is useable, it is not the most efficient use of reflection. I don't have the chart or the exact numbers, but reflectivity is measured in percentage (%), with mylar being up there at around 99% reflective or something, followed by flat white, then foil. Don't quote me on this...but this is what I've read EVERYWHERE I've looked.
Therefore, if someone is trying to maximize their yeild and have the healthiest plants, it would make sense that one would try to use the best materials for the project...with mylar being the best.
I dunno about those WallyWorld emergency tarps, but from what I've read, they ARE mylar, just much thinner than mylar you can purchase at a Hydro or garden store. The higher the "mm" of thickness, the more durable and less transparent the mylar will be. Even the material that shiny balloons are made of is mylar, but it is not the best quality.
If I only had access to WM Emergency blankets, I would most likely spray glue them to a white sturdy surface so they are flat and do not wrinkle or rip. At least it's better than foil. ;) ;) ;)
The Fog :rastasmoke:
I agree 100% Fog honey. I have my mylar flimsy hanging because I was in a time pinch due to the whole moving thing. But everything you've said up there is true. Especially the part about the mm thickness.
I'd like to add that foil is permissible dull side out, and only when heat isn't an issue. That is to say, it's better than nothing.
Brer rabbit; great stuff, I've been using it for two grows now in flowering; safe to use in the last two weeks before harvest.Quote:

yo i read in the high times in the last 4-6 weeks of flowering dilute 2-4 tbs of molasses or fructose and it will make your buds swell 20% and make them taste sweet. good luck
OK, so I'm back from my break. I have been using the Blackstrap since the day you gave the word Mrs.G, and I got to say I would be nowhere without yours and Sky's guidance... If you ladys ever step foot in Los Angeles I would be glad to show my gratitude. . .
Back on the subject of the Blackstrap, I got a few questions. Am I suppost to be using the BlackStrap daily? Do I use it up untill my harvest, or is there a time when I should stop feeding? I have so many questions that I can't think of right now. . .
updates coming in an hour. . .
