Because you know how important it is to set the mood for your toking sessions, right? :D
LoL, aromatherapy, right.
Actually no, I assume in most cases that single men have apartments that smell like ... I dunno, single men! Feet! Gym bags!!!Quote:

I've been scheming on a way to get more indoor plants in my house. I just don't know where to find any!!!
MMMM bring on da FUNK!!!
I don't know where to find plants either. It sucks.
How about you lay wall-to-wall Astroturf instead, in your Man Land? You can build putting greens and pile-o-dirty-sock traps! Shit! I'm in the dirty sock trap again! Someone give me my sock wedge!!! CADDY!!!! :D
i just put the shoes away in favor of flip-flops cuz all the socks are dirty...damit.
I have a home edition of Golden Tee, so we don't need the putting greens. And i really really suck at real Golf, I need to get "my size" clubs custom so I can swing correctly, and as of now, those aren't part of my game plan. I feel if its good enough weather to go golf, I should be surfing or something.
Thats funny you call for a Caddy, cuz thats what I do when we go golfing, I just get drunk and drive the cart around. It's not too bad, as long as there's enough beer and a pipe. One cart even got wrecked, we drove it it back to them with 3 wheels my roomie crashed into this huge water fountain
I golf at this shitty chip-and-putt where they have a big, mean, domestic goose to chase away all the Canada geese, but instead it chases the golfers more often. All the guys who play there are landscape contractors from the hill towns, who play shirtless and barefoot pretty often, and they allow coolers. I must say the scenery is very nice there.
The other course I play is at someone's house up in Newark, VT, a half hour north of St. Johnsbury. It is seriously this old retired guy who had an excavating company, and his grandkids gave him a bag of greens seed as a joke, and he built a REALLY good par-3 behind his house. You just stick $3 in his mailbox, or $4 for the whole day.
No carts at either of these places... just lots of empty bud light cans.
Actually ya know, i do like those pitch & putts. I just cant drive. My short game is alright, occasionally. If i were him, i'd throw up a recycling bin and really try to capitalize. At my house, we recycle (for cash) glass and aluminum, we fetch about $65 every month.
Sorry Foxy for Hijacking. LoL
this is officially the funniest thing that has been posted all day!Quote:

hows the coco, i hear you are about to build a drip system
want some mone in depth pics of this one?
edit: why do i ask, hold on i'll email
Still chillin'.
The flower room is hand-watered and will be out of necessity; the plants and pots are all different sizes and different strains and they all use different amounts of water.
However the top shelf of my veg closet, where everyone is in little 3" pots hanging out, could use a nice little mini drip-to-waste system. It's a real bitch trying to get in there with a watering can. There's not that much space!!!
Edit: lol I was going to say just email... then you edited!!!
ahhh, rats. i didn't even think about that. But your right, its better cuz variety really is better. I'm almost sick of this AK, but its really nice and it makes some killer bub hash. email
Hey you know what though woman, listen to this.
If you just do ALL coco, then you can plant them in the same drip system as long as the strenght required is close. then just go recirc, then wa-la your done.
word...tracking....
love the AK end result though.
i know, thats what keeps it (ak) around...
Nice system. I have to go on a much smaller scale. I hope the guy at the fert shop ordered some more 4'x18" or whatever size they were trays, that look like they are ideal for the space. I am even considering a small gravity-fed system! Let me draw a crappy diagram... hahaha I suck as bad as my camera... double suckage!!!
here it sux
Actually now that I think about it recirc is going to be easier to stuff in that space.
yeah, i like the set up. It will work well, you just have to make sure there is enough fluid to keep the pump "wet" while its pumping. But yeah, you dont even need drippers if you fashion up your own drip rings like i did.
EDIT: just move the gravity fed thingy over to the other side, and you wont have to pump so far, and its just easier, maybe?
does that ttray ur getting have pump and drain hoples?
That pic contains 2 different potential setups.
The res shown on the right, that would be for drip to waste, with the lower res being for waste.
The alternative is to use the lower res for nutes in a recirc fashion. It would then have a pump and pump to emitters in each pot.
Yeah I know about wetting the pump from my dithering around with flood/drain.
Tray is not predrilled but Foxy's a handy chick.
ahhh, i see. Thats good you know a handy friend (Stinky). Haha.
oh yeah, so far all i've done is top off my rez about every week.
oooooooooooooh thems fightin words. Now it's my turn to smack YOU!Quote:

Now about that fancypants microbrew.... :D
Sup peeps.
I have some updates to report, and for a change, they are... OMG.... positive!
100% survival on last batch of clones. Apparently I was just going through a slump. lol. Even more surprising is that many of these cuts were what I would consider to be 'undersirable' shoots- from mothers that weren't prepped all that well, and not necessarily the nice, vigorous shoots high on the plant that I typically would like to take. But wOOt, not even the smallest hint of fungus this time round!
Also I picked up some new treats yesterday.
First off, a new type of bloom fert. It's locally produced and is called 'Cornucopia Bloom')- From Vermont, very very inexpensive, and comes with a recommendation from a [now retired] grower who now uses it happily on hydro veggls.
Also a friend lent me an extra hydro tray to do some experimenting with automatic drip. It's a small one, the EXACT size that would be ideal to veg under a New Wave T5 4' fixture, which I am too po' to buy atm, but covet, lol. So that's what I get to tinker with this afternoon instead of doing laundry and vacuuming like I am supposed to.
Gardening pwns housework. If only June Cleever had figured this out....
So anyway that's that.
Oh wait my bad it's not. I've been on a Rotenone campaign for the past week. I mixed up a litre of the stuff and have been HOSING my veg room with it. Stupid thirps. Plan is to knock them back hard and then hit the survivors with Avid... mwahahaha!!! DIE thrips! Going well so far.
no more super species eh? i believe that if all life on earth were extinguished in a great explosion, the spider mites in my basement would still be there to repopulate the planet. lil fuckers are invincible!
tell me more about the special vermont bloom fert?

Updates.
Tray table is in.
Very nice fit in the space, btw, for any of you who live in Victorian-era homes that have those little shallow closets in them...
I ended up putting the tray on its table in the bottom half, then lowering the top shelf, and creating a larger area to move the mothers 'upstairs'. It's nice. I stuck my MH400 in the top half for moms, and the MH250 in the bottom for rooted cuts, there's space UNDER the table for the propagation trays and a res or waste bucket.
Pics tomorrow.
Foxysox, that new room setup idea you have there is very interesting looking...albeit not easy on the eyes to decipher. Can't wait to see that setup! :D So, yea those T5s do look very intriguing when it comes to vegging new clones. VERY INTRIGUING! :D Congrats on the slips. :D Looking forward to the pics. :D
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Here's the closet as it is right now. No automation yet.
Just running 6 moms upstairs... have a couple smaller replacements for 'retired' moms downstairs... total # of strains is actually pretty outrageous atm. It's over a dozen. hahahaha I'm like the poster child for what ADD can do for an indoor gardener...
I also have a Black Indica smoke report to share.
I think I may have a new winner...
Smell is very spicy
Flavor has a pine-woods (not like fresh pine, but like if you pick up a handful of needles from the forest floor... earthy and musty, but still definitely pine) aftertaste, and my friend said almost a hint of CHIVES, lol! What I got was piney-earthy and he says piney-chivy. hahaha go figure. But he was chowing on steamed dumplings with garlic sauce at the time and may have been tasting Chinese takeout.
Okay, as for the buzz... this is the best part.
Effect is noticeable after only one hit. Surprisingly alert for how much of a calming effect it has. Happy high, totally functional, very very relaxed. Both of us have anxiety and we agreed it's dead on the money for that.
Oh, the last pic is a clone that died of suffocation from too much wiltpruf.
nice setup foxy; very nice! looks very similar to my old setup for moms/clones/veg...
if i may inquire (and thanx for the link on the fert), what is the lineage of the black indica? sounds very much like something going around here; they're calling it black cherry (no fruit taste whatsoever) and it's good stuff; friend said she got it from vermont...??
anywho... i look forward to your experiments with water and coco :p i was wanting to try coco coir, i just can't find any coco...:p
side note:
my field cuttings (no knife, scissors, or rooting agent) are doing great. they are in a raised delta in a stream. plenty of water, but not too much... i'm interested to see what mother nature can do by herself. if they take, i'll take pix.
nice to see a stand up proffesional grow. i'm jealous (more like wistful?)
have fun! hope the cuttings do good for you!
I have never dealt with BC Bud depot; they just happened to have the info posted. This isn't an endoresment by any stretch.

I picked up my Black Indica seeds at Sacred Seed in Toronto.
Thing is, although the plant is a tad darker in color than most, it's not purple and I can't see where the 'black' came from, but very stocky and dense. I think I need to pick up another pack of these seeds and see if any other phenos crop up, because in the strain description there is no mention of pine flavor.
Thanks for the props re: professional... hahaha far from it but hey, it works for me!
link didn't work :( but that's ok; i was just wondering... i lost my black dom moms. they failed to reveg, but that's ok too... my other moms are thriving outdoors (other than the blasted spider mites) and i think they'll make it through the summer no prob. if not, that's ok too; i have some new stuff to run, when i get back to it... ;)
freinds are a blessing! :p
and i may be dissapearing for a while... don't think anything of it; just lots to do. i'll be around now and again.
thanx again foxy!
Really well thought out use of space in the closet sis .
Very nice.
Crispi :jointsmile:
Loving the veg closet, Foxy. Looks nice and proper, now. :) So, what do you do for ventilation in there? I see you don't have air-cooled hoods, so do you just leave the door open or do you have an exhaust hidden in there somewhere? The plants look good. Mothers look like they're doing WELL. :D You need a tray under there to catch your runoff, don't you? ;)
So, how about a pic of your flower room currently? :) You propped your camera up for these pics, didn't you? :)
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Thank you so much... Crispi, coming from you (you seem to be a bit of a neat freak about your garden!) that's QUITE a compliment!!!
Yeah the space is being used SO much better now, and it has to be. If you go back to page 1 of this log, you can see what my closet evolved from in the course of the last 2 months. hahaha it was pretty bad, but then again I had like no plants anyway. Now that I'm back up to speed, optimizing the space is super important.
Ventilation, I've got 4 of those little fans you can see in one of the pics, and I prop the door by ~5" at night and leave it even further open during the day. The room that closet is off has very poor temp control. I am happy if the closet stays in the 80s!!! lol that's changing very soon though. There's a good chance I will knock a hole through the wall that separates that closet with the one off my living room, and which also has chimney access in it, knock a hole in the chimney, and run duct. All my home systems are the fancy direct-vented shit so the chimney isn't used any more.
Anyway those 2 little MH are a 250 and a 400... they don't throw a ton of heat, and the ballasts are outside the closet.
Yes I need a runoff tray... will be picking one up when the next stock order comes in to the grow shop... identical to the one that that table is made of most likely. Then I can do a drip up there if I feel like it..
I actually didn't prop the camera... just took pics before my morning pot of coffee... lol when I'm not all spazzy and shaky.
Flower room... not a hell of a lot going on in there atm. It looks just like it did last time... I take a plant out for harvest and put a new one in to flower... the overall view stays the same. Booo-ring!!!
Hi there- I think you are out of town right now, but I have just surfaced after being in the weeds (not in the good weed way, but in the restaurant lingo I am so swamped way) for about a week, so I am just saying hi foxy!
The pics look great and the black indica sounds wonderful- I have been feeling a litle anxious lately, so would love to try some :jointsmile:
The pure power plant I harvested is pure delicious! Much more densely packed buds than the blue haze, very rich herb tasting, and the high is up and calming at the same time. Today is my first day of vacation and I am sampling it right now-:bonghit:
I still have one ppp in flower which should be ready to chop in a week or so, along with three blue haze clones that got too big for the veg room.
I just added the seven sisters (one is a SAGE and one is a BBXtrainwreck and I am not sure of the other five) to the flower room and it is even more crowded than when you saw it last!
I will post some pics later on my grow log- right now I need to go out and plant some sage, swiss chard, dill, sunflowers, broccoli, etc.
Heya Demeter
I'm leaving tomorrow! The girls are in good hands for the weekend.
I can't wait to hang out.
Hey...
I just had my first sample of the Yeag's MTF from Foxy's garden!
And I am pretty much planning to be sitting in this lawn chair for the rest of the evening.
I saved it until now so the Yeag and I could smoke it together. lol for some reason it seems to be having the opposite effect on him and he is in the process of barbequeing everything that won't run away...
VERY nice high. Good flavor. Strong as a mofo.

Now, I am going to have a puff of nice pure power plant and go for a walk on this beautiful day!
BTW- I have had some problems with my cheap timer, it hasn't been working right the past few days so the light hours in the flowere room have varied a little- have I ruined the harvest? Please say it will be okay now that I reset the timer:( There are plants almost ready to chop as well as seven who have been in the flower room for about a week, so far no blooms. I sure hope they recover!
