Great photos xcrispi!
Fantastic grow!!!!!
PC :thumbsup:
Oh, yea, and for the record, I have had my luggage lost at least a couple of times. One time, someone else took my bag, flew to some other city and then realized it. They just left it there. F**ckers. I eventually got it, but they made no effort to get it back to me quickly. They even had the nerve to say that it was labeled wrong and had their daughter's name on it. Liars. I had at least 2 tags with my name on it AND an identifying mark.
Anyway, thought I'd add that. lol

side note on the topic of flying...anyone else find it interesting that crude oil has gone up leaps and bounds but the ticket fairs are still dropping...makes me wonder how much tax dollars our gov is pouring in that well to keep em running
Welcome BK. W/H , Fog , Bree , ASD , Pharma
Pic. credit goes to Marc , I'm learning a lil though . NWA found his stuff and had it delivered last night . :thumbsup:
ASD - I'll address your q's in a cpl. = cant ignore company after them coming 1200 miles . ;)
Here's trich pics. of the dirt plants , not as far along as we'ed hoped , another week to 10 days I bet . Were vapin some anyways n it's Yummy .
More later maybe ??
Grillin some Steaks n Spuds
Peace
Crispi - Markass - n Juicy J :jointsmile:
NICE PHOTOS!! :thumbsup: Can I borrow Mark next? :D
sir crispi, i just took a walk in the woods and found some very sparkley buds.... if i post some pix, can you edit them for the close ups? i'm by no means a photographer....
love, lestie :p
Wow now those are some close ups. Please let me know what you used because I'm gonna buy that for my camera. That tool is much better for looking at trichomes than those hand microscopes. I rather look at a still picture instead of trying to focus on those small beauties :).
Blahhhhhhhh ,
The smoke has finally cleared and Marc was back on the plane at 7am this morning on his way back to BFE . Way cool ppl. and always welcome back , even our crazy dogs took a liking to him , the lil bully dog Zoie is still lookin for him. :thumbsup:
In the begining we were trying the Snl x Nev. Hz to find something that wasn't so couchlok yet still had good medicinal qualities too - we cut and manicured the 3 dirt plants at 5-10% amber to see if it produced an up buzz for us , and it gave us more room to play w/ the hydro monsters and staggered them in the room so they could be moved closer to the lights . The hydro still has a good 10 days or maybe more to go . We flushed out the system and started just plain water and sucanat a few days ago so they use up all stored nutes and chems. yet still have access to lotsa carbos cause I like fat girls . ;)
ASD - just wonderin how hot the rest of your basement is getting etc...? = My basement is usually between 70-75 degrees w/o our central a/c running .
ASD- even with the cooltubes you still have fans blowing air over the plants right? = Yes even w/ cooltubes we keep a 16 in osc. wall-mount fan
running 1 hour on / 15 min. off during flowering to keep stems strong and keep air moving to ward off mold .
ASD - do you have enough in the room to warrant the use of the mover I was wonderin how the flex ducts held up with that .= Honstly if I had it to do over again = no mover . This room evolved to what it is thru almost 20 yrs. of changes , trials , errors . At 1 point in time there was a single 1000w in a vertizontal non/aircooled hood so I bought the mover to cover more area = I shoulda just got the 2nd. 1000w. then . It took an extra 5 bloody weeks to flower a grow this big because the damn lights on the other end of the room 50% of the time :mad: right now the lights are only moved 12 in max. but has moved as far as 4 1/2 feet still usung flex duct w/o any probs. bk in the day .
Im seeing the addition of another cooltube here , and maybe 3 - 600w hps in a row w/o any mover instead of the 2 -1000's , insulation / shower sourround material and a wall mount a/c in here in the future too . It's a disease so be very careful !! :D
Weedhound - Can I borrow Mark next? = If you can keep up w/ this young stuff , sure Sis. :D 2 pans of vapo duff brownies in 6 days not to mention what we bong'd , bowl'd -n- blazed on top of em . Marc eatin brownies on the plane going home too lol . Were all gonna hang eventually so you better build your tolerence up now Sis. :D
Celeste - crispi, i just took a walk in the woods and found some very sparkley buds.... if i post some pix, can you edit them for the close ups? i'm by no means a photographer.... = I can try , If I can't Marc can .
Orangeman - Wow now those are some close ups. Please let me know what you used because I'm gonna buy that for my camera. That tool is much better for looking at trichomes than those hand microscopes. = I think I have a pic. of 1 already and I'll add it to this post .
All of these pics. in this thread were "NOT" photoshopped -blown up - or resized . We own the same poo poo $100.00 5 mp. camera you do . You just need the new technological hi-tech super photo weapon that was given to me by Marc , and a lil practice . A 30x jewlers loupe is held right up against the cameras lens and your pics. can look like Subcool , Jilly , -n- Marcs' too . Thanx again bro. - G/B for coming and hangin :thumbsup:
Peace everybody

here's some more..
it blows my mind away.....so amazing, crispis thumb is greener than the sites logo..
holy crap those are beautiful monsters.:thumbsup:
all that outta a 5 gal'tainer, dam, DAM!:thumbsup:
impressive as all hell!
serious +rep+ dude!
wow, just WOW!:jawdropper:
Rock.
side note, hey Mark, where u been? u were one of my early reps, I made it into flower, check it out sometime. 2 honey's and lots o love!
My my my...I can't even say anything lol. That is just crazy.
I know....those are really huge and well rounded. Another cool tube? LoL! You'll be lighting up the town. :thumbsup:
Wnderful photos as well......you guys sound like wimps.....:D
that sounds like a CHALLENGE???:clap:Quote:

This wont be happening in the near future though , it'll end up w/ shower sorround material / insulation and a wall mount a/c first . I still have 3 new 1000w hortilux bulbs to use up and I still can't find a good deal on enhanced spectrum hps 600w bulbs yet .
More pics. in a few days .
Peace
Crispi :jointsmile:
there are some benefits to the 1k bulb...it seems the filament is much bigger and wears better than the smaller ones but the 1k has some interference issues and a few other quirks I remember a few growers over the years that without a light mover they prefer the 600w setup and especially with the extra output of the digitals it seems like a decent way to go
I went with 240v cause I dunno it's just better all around besides adding the outlet...as bongerstonerdood would say...BFD ;)
if the lights are positioned right and the wind blowing on the plants is sufficient enough to bend the buds around light will get in more sites anyway *shrugs* it might help overall weight but as but sites increase bud size decreases
at the moment my feeding schedule is maxibloom, koolbloom and ph up/down as needed almost solely up I found my ph started dropping before finishing the seedling stage no other addatives and it's going well probably going to easily overtake last run and 1/4 the price for nutrition can't be beat
I was wonderin crispi have you had a single cured plant yield more than 1 pound yet? that is almost the time where you throw it up and roll around in it haha
I been a busy bee ,
Weedhound made a redwood tree remark way back when I built the DWC /Drip combo buckets . = Not quite yet Sis. , but they have the beginings of what I think is actual bark on them . In the future we may need to borrow the Image Reapers Mac 101 to chop the plants down . :chainsaw:- pic.
Both hydro plants were manicured and chopped 2 days shy of 11 weeks . Took 2 ppl. 10 hours to manicure them and all the trimmings are in the deepfreeze so we can make gumby hash again . 1 plant is an easy lb , the other is 12 oz. or better . Not bad for only being topped once . - pic.
ASD welcome back man , I've done alot of reading n research and I don't honestly know if 3 - 600's would be an improvement . 2-1000w. = 290,000 lumens , 3 - 600w. = 315,000 lumens . But the 600's dont have the penetration of a 1000w. ? Wthe 1000's run below the canopy and spinning the pots all the time Im getting no underdevoloped buds / sucker branches - they fill in too and become extra colas the size of the ones on my dirt plants .
ASD- I too have the probs w/ constant ph drop too , just ordered a gallon of g/h ph up . They drop almost a full point everyday and I refuse to run my crippled ass up -n- down my basement stairs to adjust ph 2-3 times a day . Just once a day and I have had no adverse effects / nute lok out etc...
ASD - Have I ever gotten a 1 lb. plant using this style . = Yep . 17 oz is my personal best , and one of these 2 is just as big .
Here's a pic. of the girls all beat up , stripped naked -n- violated . They're now hung up w/ 35% humidity and the 16in. osc. fan going on them till they're good -n- dry .
Final weights on the dirt plants and some up close and personal pics. of the hydro are coming soon .
Peace everybody

Real nice work there crispi.
Looks like you've got some serious lumber there! You aren't just going to need Reaper's chainsaw, you're gonna want to borrow a portable sawmill too.
ITS A JUNGLE!! The marijuana JUNGLE!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Damn that's amazing.....seriously. How many days does that much take to dry.....how about a drying photo when you have a chance?
nice crispi...can't wait to see how much you get off of the hydro buckets :thumbsup:
Heres a cpl. pics. of them chopped -n- hangin .
Once dried a lil -n- frosting up we'll get some sweet trich pics .
Peace
Crispi :jointsmile:
From the hubby: Well it's just all bud. Amazing.
From Me....Don't be surprised if that thing disappears one night while you aren't looking....you'll know I was there cause i'll leave steaks for the dogs.
How in the hell do you trim that thing without breaking all the branches off?
quite the Christmas tree, ya got there :thumbsup:
Damn, xcrispi. That is one huge frickin' plant there, man. Those 1kws really do the trick, eh? Did you rotate the pots?
Damn, dude...
:jawdropper: :jawdropper: :jawdropper: :jawdropper:
The Fog :rastasmoke:
I'd post then in the pic section too.....you'll get some more dropping jaws over there.
If I ever "move on" and need some more photos to steal off the internet to use for a fake grow log...I'm using those^^^ lolol ;)
I agree with Weedhound.

I wish I could top them twice but It's just too much work tyin stuff up so it doesnt break from weight . 16 - 17 oz. isn't very hard to pull from each plant w/ a lil practice - Hell Krusty used to pull 3.5 lbs per 5 gal. bucket easily w/ a record I believe to be a 5 lb. monster . I remember SoQuik pulling 31 lbs. from 10 plants under 10,000 w. but my balls aren't as big as theirs . :)
Peace all
Crispi :jointsmile:
good ness crispi...I knew hanging they would look great :)
They fucking ROCK!!
Heres a cpl. louped' macro pics. of a tiny nug from the bottom of the hydro girls before it got popd' into the vapo bros . Theres probably 20-30% amber on all the colas . Juicy J' is becoming quite the lil photographer thanx to Marc. :)
Later
Crispi :jointsmile:
those really are beautiful photos... :thumbsup:

So, you're saying 31 lbs from 10k watts...???
Let me do that math real quick...
28g x 16 x 31 = 13,888g
divided by 10kw = 1.38 gpw?!?
Holy crizzap...! That's quite a bit of weight. Would that be almost considered KBS?
I think the rotating the plants helps a LOT...
Have you heard of the 30* angle rotation. I think I heard it first on Zandor's podcast...
That bud looks really nice. Nice macro shots. I like the 2nd one. So you have a Vapor Bros?? What's your opinion on that. Apparently Storm Crow has one of those, too. I want a vaporizer. I'm leaning towards buying a Volcano (made a thread about it in recreational), but I'm wondering if it's worth all the money. Should I just get a Vape Bros...or a Vapezilla...or is the Volcano really worth it? What do you think? You mind taking a look at my thread, plz? Thx.
Again...you grow kicks :S3:

oops on dubble posting. sorry.
kudos on how healthy they look top to bottom that's definately not easy to do :thumbsup:
What's the smoke report? after 11 weeks I bet it's gotta be packing a punch even for a sativa was it just the size that took the time or the strand?
The 1000w lumateks are the best as far as I'm concerned even though 600's can get a little closer the drop off in intensity is unacceptable if you were buying new
modest benefits I came by while reading...
240v is better and works out cheaper than 120v and the 1000 240 is more efficient than the 600 240
bulb life and performance(the 1k's have a bigger filament) ages much better
ballast efficiency(1k produces less heat per lumen output)
less reflectors/hangers/venting setups/wiring etc
thanks for all the answers on the last few questions I've had by the way I'm still trying to get everything put together and maybe if I'm lucky it will come out 1/2 as good as yours ;-)
Looking fucking spectacular!
Hey everybody ,
Fog - those are old overgroe ppl. I believe So Quick is still at it and over at I/C Mag. now . His crazy 31lb. garage biz. was indeed Krusty Freedom Buckets . :thumbsup:
Im way blown away w/ the dirt yields . finally got some #'s today .
The 1 Church plant = 75 G.
The 2 Snl x Nev. = 208 G.
10 oz. from 3 dirt plants is good for me . :thumbsup: Im a soil misfit like Weedhound . :) From now on in summer Im thinking of doing 12 dirt plants at a time in 3 gal. pots and Just do hydro in the fall / winter when heat and humidity arent so hard to battle . I don't wanna buy a res. chiller or a wall mnt. a/c yet .
Before the next grow we are gonna insulate , vapor barrier , and either marlite paneling or shower souround material the 2 interior walls and the ceiling for easier temp / odor control . Removing 1 of the 630 cfm blowers due to overkill . And adding a 1000 gph industrial airpump to power the airstones in the next 4 bucket grow . 4 buckets -4 dif. strains for some variety and no heat to fight due to flowering in the fall .
I'll post some yield #'s for the hydro plants soon , it's ready to be taken off the branches now and be poped into jars .
Peace
Crispi :jointsmile:
You might want to look into framing walls, insulating then drywalling. It would be cheaper in the long run and painted walls reflect as well as the stuff you want to use. :thumbsup:Quote:
