Guys, question...
I was thinking...::: What would be better for my setup? 12 plants, or 15?
Recap of the system: Hydro NFT. 3 PVC pipes running downstream... 4 or 5 plants per pipe?
Space: the cabinet is 20" by 40"... I'm doing a SCRoG to the plants.
Light: 600W HPS + 400W MH.
I was originally intended on doing 12 clones... but I'm thinking... what about 15 clones? Would they choke each other? Would I get negative results? Should I go for it?
Thanks for the help :)

Now, threads #30 to #34 on this thread:

Tell me I'll need to control my humidity... which is an average of 76%.
Well, I don't think I'll be able to put a de-humidifier in there and make it work... as I'll have two 50 CFM fans pulling air out of the cabinet.
Soooooooo.... I'm thinking...
There's a $80 a/c unit in the Home Depot's website... for 5,000BTU. Darn morons didn't put the dimensions of the unit... that would have helped a lot.
But hey, $80... a/c... 5,000 BTUs... I could use CO2... and a dehumidifier...
Hmmm.... opinions anyone?

A Poem, from me turtle, to you guys... It's called
Bong Waters
I once upon a time had a bong…
Which I toked and toked until I was stoned…
With great THC content in my brain,
I leaned back on my girlfriend while I blew chronic mist…
Being high eased the pain,
Just as Marley said, I have to take a lift…
As I threw my self on the couch,
My foot lightly touched something on the other side…
A split second later it was all too clear,
I kicked my bong straight with such much might…
It chattered without a fight.
Although I didn’t want to admit it
It was all too obvious…
Sounds like that…
are made by such a destruction
Without a doubt,
Your mind seals the reality of the commotion.
There’s no doubt.
There’s no bong.
I kicked my bong.
And now I’m bummed.
Tragic :( damn I know how i feels to buy a kick ass bong that gets you fucked like nothing else does and then break it, It's happened to all of us :o hah.. how many beans you drop on her? She looks like one of more costly ones...

Hey... question:::
Just after I posted, the power went out over in my house... it was probably out for 5 minutes. The plants had a dark period of probably 5-10 minutes at most.
I have no experience, but, thinking that it was such a short time, I turned ON again the 400W MH and placed everything back in its place.
Do you think that 10min dark period will affect them? Hermies? Males? She-Males? LoL!
Thanks guys,
-turtle420 :cool:
Na, the plants won't know shit about 10 minutes, your fine.. and no, your not ready for clones quite yet.. You want to wait until you get alternating branches with 3-4 shoots :thumbsup: Peace man
Hello guys... I don't have up-to-date pics, so I'll use the ones from Day 31.
Question: The small plant, should I start giving her nutes?
She's only about 1" tall, and already her first set of leaves is wrinkled... she's so small, I don't know if I can give her nutes... ??? Ideas?
Other than that, what do you think of the girls' progress?
Yea they're definitely ready for a little nitrogen. Look for some mexican bat shit around 10-2-0 and I'll give you a recipe for some tea...
Thanks Rasta...
I tried looking for guano over here... to no avail. Apparently, people here have never heard of it. :( But, it's interesting, because there are some natural cave formations near... with lots of bats.... Hmmm.....
Thanks Rasta! ;)
Boots, Gloves, Flashlight and a Bag. Or have you already tried?
I like seeing those little plants of yours. I've always been curious on how your grow setup will handle.
:) I look forward to seeing the end results. :)

Bonz! Thanks man... thank you very much. :)
Really helpfull to know that there are some other people here that care. I mean, not that we need constant re-enforecement or anything, but it's good to know that people actually are interested.
As to the Gloves... :D I'm going for it dude... There's no processed guano over here... So, as you said... I'm going Indiana Jones on it... :D
I'll keep you updated!
Thanks guys for the pep-talk!!!

haha im to much of a pussy to go roaming around in a bat cave hunting for their shit lol if you wanna order online inside sun has the right bat shit ya need. if not try to find an organic supplement with similar npk.. i've heard of worm castings and bone meal together working good but im not sure.. read up :thumbsup: peace man
and if you are going to get bat shit from a cave... we must ensure that it has the correct contents.. hang out around their habitat. write down what they eat, what they do, etc. you're basically going to have to become a bat watcher for a day or two to really learn everything you can.. once you know what they eat and what kind of bats they are you can make a pretty good guess as to how much n, p, and k their shit will contain.. from this, we may be able to cook up a similar tea..
infact make your observations and post them here, ill try to get back to you with a rough-analysis to find out whether or not we can use it.. remember: diet and species. those are the two most important things. and ppppplease remember diet means what they eat on a daily basis. if you're watching them for a good hour or two before any of them eat, don't go running home the minute you see one naw on a berry. you need to find out EVERY food in their diet.. which means you really want to watch them for a day or two.. three to be completely safe, before you harvest any of their shit
Rasta, Joel, and Bonz,
Rasta,
This shit business is sounding more shitty than the intitiall shit shitty business I shitty though about.... shit.
LOL!!!
Let's see what we do.... I might go to the caves tomorrow... I just find it so funny that now I have to watch the bastard bats to see what the hell they eat... Rasta gave me a take-home-test!!! LOL!!!!
Let's see what's up with that... my lazy-ass part of me might bent over to order some guano crap from eBay... But then we wouldn't have the super-natural experimentation... Hmmmm.... LOL!!!!
Bat shit... Shit... Shittyty shit.... LOL!!!!
I'm stoneddd......
Bats turn into Vampires, and we all know vampires eat blood. Unless you wanta cut yourself and bleed into your plants I would just keep using the bats shit.
LOL!!!
Now we've got naked women on the thread!!! Wuhuuuuu!!!!!
~runs around in circles like never having seen a naked woman~
Hey turtle, I have nothing to say that can help you, but I read this whole thread and I'm amazed at your tenacity. You fought tooth and nail for your ladies,and I just wanted to say that I'm deeply moved and impressed. Keep fighting the good fight, and heres hoping you soon enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Let's see...
Yesterday, and today.... my power company decided to play with me and my entire town a little... so they just threw the power switch to off for a while... then to ON, then quickly to off... then they very quickly changed back and forth between on and off... until they just took their lunch break and left it in the off position.
So, I took my girls out of the cabinet so they wouldn't be in the dark. And because I didn't have no power, I needed to use my resources. So, after giving the problem some serious thought, I said "fuck it!" and went ahead and did what you can see in the picture below.
I trully hope my neighborghs are tokers, because then they would see the little ones and recognize them... but if they're tokers, they wouldn't tell on me... but the girls are simply too small to be diferentiated... but then again, it's three small plants, in the middle of the yard, for no apparent good reason.
Hello guys...
What you think of my girls?
What about my new, just made, cool tube?
Can I clone yet?
What do you think of the little one?
Thanks guys!
-turtle420 :cool:
Just one more pic...
damn turtle it looks like your halfway to building a biodome or a spaceship from what i see looken good hope the ladies come into there own soon
Yeah. Pretty amazing. Who's instructions did you use for the cooltube or did you make it up as you went along? Nice work.
A little bit of both... thanks for the props Skillz and Lemon... :)Quote:

Hello everyone… This is my try @ a Cool Tube how-to.
I was inspired by Mellow Man, and here’s his excellent FAQ http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=38520
I’m writing this up, not because I find anything wrong with what’s out there for making a cool tube, but because more ideas are better. So, without further adoo, here it is…
1. Well boys and girls, and all in between that are still undecided, welcome! We’re going to follow me on how I built a cool tube. Pic1 you can see almost all the stuff you need. Partial list of needed materials:
w- Cool Tube (I used a Pyrex Bake-A-Round… eBay)
w- 3” diameter, schedule 40 (although I think 80 will work) PVC pipe
w- 3” PVC couplers (female-female)
w- Aluminum bar for ΒΌ plywood finishing
w- Dremel (although you can do everything with a handsaw and hand drill)
w- Handsaw (!)
w- Hand drill and a couple of bits (different diameters)
w- assorted tools: pliers, screwdrivers, etc.
w- Socket(s) for your bulbs
w- screws (2 for each socket, I used 4 total) + their nuts and washers
2. On Pic2 you can see the aluminum bar… You need to place the bar over the PVC coupler to determine more or less where are you going to cut it
3. Pic3 you can see the bar already cut, and marked down with black the part that will be sawed off. The bar is slightly longer than the diameter of the 3” PVC coupler… it’s probably about 4.5” or 5.5” long. The reason we’re going to cut the blacked-out parts is because you only want a flat-shaped part on top… not the entire “U”. This flat part is the one you’ll insert through the ‘top’ of your cool tube… so, the walls of the “U” will stop the bar from going all through the PVC coupler… it’ll be clear in the next few pics.
4. Pic4… sawed off parts…
5. Pic5, as you can see, I’ve more or less marked up where the U bar will trespass the PVC coupler… then, with the Dremel, I cut it. You can probably do the same with a handrill and some patience… This U-shaped part of the coupler is the bottom of the cool tube. There’s a slit on the top of the coupler… so, looking @ pic 4 and 5, you can see that if you insert the U bar it will stop where you want it.
6. Pic6 and Pic7, U bar inserted into the coupler.
7. Pic8 and Pic9… Now, these pics you’ll want to study. You can see one finished end of the cool tube. You can also see where I cut and drilled the U bar. In the finished coupler, you can see how it all fits together. You pass the U bar into the coupler, then place the bulb socket in there…. Then you screw it in place with your hardware (screws, nuts and washers). Pass the cables through the holes…
8. Pic10… finished couplers.
9. Pic11… basic layout…problems already arised… As you can see, two bulbs will not fit in there. At least not my two bulbs. I have one 600W HPS and a 400W MH. The spaces that are between the couplers and the Bake-A-Round will get a piece of PVC pipe in between. In this picture you can see that I tried to place the bulbs in a happy-medium. There are parts of the bulb that will be out of the cool tube, but those parts don’t product light. The actual parts inside the bulb that emitt light, those have glass around them. Wouldn’t make sense to cover your lumens, would it?
10. Pic12… Almost finished cool tube. As you can see in here, I placed both bulbs. It’s not finished in this pic because I didn’t have aluminzed tape… so I had to wait till the next day to buy it (no 24hour hardware stores over here!). All you need to do now is seal up the Bake-A-Round unions with the PVC pipe with your aluminized tape. You can use S-hooks to hang the cool tube… you can see the holes drilled for that between the power cables.
Damn, I wish I had the patience for that! You're fucking awsome turtle, have confidence... I believe your grow will be a quite succesful one, although... while your waiting on the shit, your plants are still strapped for nitrogen, which, would make a HUGE difference at this stage in growth. So, as soon as possible, try to feed 'em up... They're hungry :)
Thanks for sharing the adaptations for the Bake-A-Round!
I ordered up some Bat guano... high in nitrogen... I think it was 10-2-0... I'll let you know when it arrives.Quote:

Thanks Dr. Kaze!
-turtle420 :cool:
depending on the kind of guano you bought you'll receive pellets or a molch like substance.. either way is good though some say the molchy version isn't as rich in nutrients. anyway just measure out 3 teaspoons of your shit source (if it's pellets, then crush 'em up good to ensure correct measurement) and place the poopy in the center of a few papertowels (i always double, dont want to have a accident lol) and twist it up, making a teabag of sorts. Then, fill up a 2 liter up (with two liters ph'd distilled water) and stick your teabag in the bottle with your thumb, with some papertowel sticking out so you can pull it out when it's finished brewing. To brew, simply put it in a warm place for a day, and be sure to move the bag around a little every few hours to make sure you get everything... good luck and peace :)
Hey Rasta,
Thanks for the reply dude! BTW: What about the Rasta Fan HowTo? DUDE! Write it up! C'mon man! Get it posted! !!! It's a kick-ass idea dude!
Another thing:
I've got a question about 'foiliar feeding'.
I spray about 1 or 2 times a day my plants with water.
But, I've got the Sonic Bloom product, and Bill's Perfect Fertilizer (please see post #86, I think)... When should I use them?
Now? Can I use them throughout the entire life of the plant?
I know you have to take it easy when they're flowering, because the added water spray can help induce mold...
But now, can I use it? When? How often? Can I feed them foliar spray 1 or 2 times per day, every day? Or is this something more like once every 1 or 2 weeks?
Thanks!
Hello everyone...
Just would like to post two pics of my girls...
Today, this morning, they had about 1 - 2 inches in distance from the cool tube... I checked them about 2 hours ago... and my finger barely fits between the top of the plant and the cool tube... !!!!!!!!! They're super-growing! :D
BTW: Foliar feeding anyone... please help.
Thanks for everything,
-turtle420 :cool:
I personally am not one for foliar feeding... after all, It dosen't take place in nature. I could see foliar feeding if you needed a quick save on an under-nuted plant, but otherwise it's not really neccesary. They do love a spritz of water every now and then though.. (i use seltzer water beacuse as it sits on the leaves it continues to fizz.. making plenty of c02 available for the plants until of course it all dries up (With fans blowing this happens very fast, so, unless your with your plants full time it's not going to make a noticable difference) but hey every little thing helps. Hah, sorry about the hold up on the tutorial, but hey... What do you expect? I'm only 16 plus I smoke... In other words: My word means shit! Lmao, jk. I share camera's with my pop's and have been having a little trouble getting a hold of it (he's in photography, der) so chances are if it does happen it's not going to be for a while. But feel free to write it up yourself, I mean, you had it down... plus I don't know If I have the patience to re-do my entire fan again. I've had to change garbage bags 4 times in the last week! lol oh and BTW your plants are really starting to look like plants... I'm so happy for you :)
Peace
Rasta,
Thanks for the foliar feeding input... you're right... it doesn't occour in nature... But, oh well... let's see what we do.
As to your Rasta Fan... I'm going to write it up (not today, but hopefully tomorrow). I'll use your pics and mine... and it will obviously be called the Rasta Fan... Anyways, you'll see the post. You add your input/changes and Zandor can copy/paste it over to the FAQs once you're happy with it.
As to you being 16... it doesn't cease to amaze me. You're on your way dude. :) You seem like a very intelligent guy... very un-like stereotypical 16-year old tokers... with no spelling ability, talking about sex, slapping bitches and ho's, and stealing weed from people... Good to see you're not in that path!!!
As to my plants... THANK YOU!!! I'm so happy for them! Thanks! If I got time tomorrow, I'll replant the little one to another pot... I need to get it higher... I'm finding it very hard to place my pots in such a way that the little one doesn't have the shadow of the big ones over it...
We're moving!!! Wuhuuuu!!!!
BTW: Can I clone yet? (I think I know the answer, but I feel like Bart and Lisa... Are we there yet? NO! Are we there yet? NO! Are we there yet? NO! Are we there yet? NO!
LOL! Thanks dude! :)
-turtle420 :cool:
Can I clone yet?
No, but I can tell you how to know when your ready... You have some secondary branches on the way, correct? This is kindof a tounge-twister to explain but, Once your secondary branches form secondary branches with 3 or 4 nodes, you're ready to cut clones. Was that clear? Anyway these are called "alternating nodes" and it's imperitive you wait for them before attempting a clone...
"talking about sex, slapping bitches and ho's, and stealing weed from people... Good to see you're not in that path!!!"
Ahhh, someone who actually understands... Yes, unfortunately, alot of kids my age are ignorant ego-maniacs :D
I'll look out for the tutorial.. don't hesitate to add/retake pics if you think it'll make it clearer for people.
Peace
