Hello Princess congrats on the stellar come up!!! 2 lights for the price of almost none :0)
I know they make hps bulbs for MH systems so you will be able to veg and flower with improved productivity. I hope you are sending kind thoughts and love to your plants. They will give you back everything you put into them with enhanced vigor.
Senior Bear, Thanks for responding to my light modification question. I will be moving forward tomorrow and will update my thread so you can see how it comes out. Thanks for your kind and giving spirit.
Adieu to you sir Bear -Jay
Oh, you choke the Bear up little. I am indeed happy for you. About the igniter I do not know off hand. I just want you to be very careful with all of the electric stuff, believe this, I would be a really unhappy Bear if something happend.
Glad to her you got some Beans from Sage. CaliJ not a problem, hope I can help out more, everyone around here helps me with stuff, they just probably don't know it. Alot of times I just mope around and take naps on peoples threads to snuze and read for a while with a bowl of honey to stick a fatty in untill it dries.
I had a little prob, I guess my CO2 dispersment was off and I went threw a hole tank in about 4 days instead of 6 to 8 weeks. Luckly I didn't leave the pup in there. The Lord is offly kind to this bear and his foolish ways.
Bear hugs from the Blue Adieu
thanx for the concern, bear; but your chart has turned me into a ballast wiring pro! (well, not realy, but i was able to wire up the two for mh with out refferencing. then i checked, and lo! i did it right!!
lowes does not have ignitors:( now i have to figure that one out.) these ballasts are identicle to the first one; only difference is the ignitor. where can i get the ignitors?
love, kp:p
Funny thing(not really) I just picked up my first bottle of co2 and emptied it in 3 days myself. I am tripping out a bit. I must have some serious leaks in my room. I am off to investigate.
Bear what do you recommend for temps and ppm when enriching Co2?
Do you run Co2 princess?
Peace and Love - Jay
i would love to run co2, but i don't know how or where... any tips?
sage is now under total dark. she's been under for 28 hours now. how long do you recomend leaving her until harvest? my dry box is complete (cedar, 4 racks, 8 hanging wires, two cpu fans for a passive intake) just waiting on your suggestions. i have put a male bb clone with a female sage clone, going to put two bb females in with them tomorrow, or whenever i cut sage. (i'll be able to use her bathroom, geez she's big!!:))
cj, i haven't been able to make it to the post... i leave b4 they open and get home after they close:( seems to be the same with the electrical supply store too. soon as i can, sweetie, you'll be getting a new novel to read (might be a little dusty, lol:D)
love, love, and love some more, my knights of stoned faced honor.
be back in a little while...
love, kp:p
A question for you if I may my princess. How is it that you have come to be so skilled in dealing with electricity and the arts of skilled labor?
I cannot hide the fact that I am impressed and I think many a female could benefit from spending some time with you.
Don't be surprised if you get some cute but DIY challenged girls giving you a call upon my reference.:D
I am eagerly awaiting your post and shall make haste in putting your gift to use.
It is better to give than to recieve but I find recieving to be quite rewarding as well.
Hush me your info and I will have a digi cam on the way. I will include overnight packaging so you don't have to stress on getting to USPS and you can simply drop my literature in the overnight box on your leisure.
Peace and Love -Jay
OK Lady and Gent. Co2 CJ, well the right way, not the ghetto way that I am subject to at this point is to run your CO2 with a controller that measures the CO2 of your room and turns it off at the appointed level. With the levels there are two schools of thought, one school says to run the CO2 at 1500 PPM adding your household PPM which is approx 300 in most house holds so that means that your controller would be set at 1200 PPM and run this in approx 3 hour intervals. The other school that seems to make more since to me is to run the PPM of your CO2 at the same PPM of your nutes and this is the reason why, the CO2 kicks your plants into optimal production and being such it demands more manufacturing of needed nutes and other growth related synthesis to flourish under the CO2 treatment and as you match the PPM's you are meeting the demand of the PPM level of the CO2 with the PPM of your nutes to keep the demand and production in balance. Some feel that having a greater CO2 puts a bigger demand on the plant that it can't handle as well. SO those are the two main schools of thought. Some controllers have light sensors that will shut off any CO2 dispersment off once the lights are out because plants only take in CO2 during photo synthesis and releases it during dark cycle while taking in O2. Also temps should be at least 85D for the CO2 to really be able to be absorbed and broken down by the plant, and they say that 95D is optimal. There is a argument about the light/photo synthesis needed from a lumen output for the plants to be able to process the CO2 and one thing I know for sure at this point is that anything under a 400w will not create the kind of photo synthesis in the plant that will allow for a efficient break down and an absorbssion of the CO2 and some will even argue that it is only 600w and greater that can really create the needed lumens for this process.
KP, on the drying process, it is really going to depend on the temps in your box on how long they should stay. For some reason you find them looking crispy don't worry too much, just place them in glass mason jars with the metal latch on the top and put the buds in there and what will happen is the moisture from the center parts of the bud will spread in a uniformed manor throughout the bud giving the whole bud a nice feel, ideally. Just watch them and know that just because the buds are dry on the outside they may still be full of moisture and that is why the jars help in the process. Once in the jars just check on them a few times a day and when you notice moisture filling the jar up some just open the top for a few until the moisture dissipates. Once you have dried and cured to your liking and there is no more moisture showing on the glass you can frees the buds if you wanted and there shouldn't be any negative affects to the THC.
Well that was a mouth full. I have been up since the we hours of the morning and you know how tired us bears get so I may have to go hibernate for a while. At this point I have been getting up at 4:00AM to turn on the heater in my grow room, but today I got a timer, hopefully this one works. The last one didn't work right and keped tripping my power strip with a 1K light on it because both the light and the heater couldn't be on at the same time.
Well Adieu Little Princess and Cali
PS. KP to find CO2 tanks and Co2 you can look in the phone book and you may have some luck, or call a local wellder and say your uncle is working on his race care, or farm equipment and you are trying to get a tank for his wellding tools and they may be able to direct you. At some places you go in and start an account and they give you a tank for about $30 and you take it back when doen and they trade you out another. SOme places require you to have good credit because the tanks can run about $300, luckly I got mine for about $40, they had two and foolesh me didn't get it.
hi guys, umm, rrrrrr...
i have a confession to make here first... i admittedly tried a sample of sage the other day... well...
i had a little left over, and had put it in a box to dry... and forgot about it until just a few minutes ago.
this is taking me quite a while to write, as i am a perfectionist and don't like to make typo's... which i'm doing on every word just about...
ok, to the point...oh yeah... sage...
so i put this bit in a bubbler, and now... well, ummm...
ok, back to the subject.
cj, i got the skills from a bear in blue.:thumbsup:
http://www.onlinepot.org/grow/wiringlights.htm
and i read A LOT!!! so...;)
check your mail tonite sweetie, don't know when i'll get around to it but it will be there b4 the morn
darling bear, in gleaming blue armour...
thanx for the co2 lesson, i'll deffinitely look into it.
but i think you may have misunderstood my harvest question...
sage is still in the pot, i have flushed every other day for 10 days prior. now the soil is completely dry, and i didn't turn the lights on this morn. she is downstairs in her flower room.
i have taken your advice on leaving her in total dark before cutting. i just don't remember how long, or which thread your words were on.
i did a search but hadn't found it by the time i left. i'll look again, as i have more time, but if you stop by, i'd love to be saved as i'm REALY not too capable right now. so far, it's taken 24 minutes to write this, and still counting:)
well, hope to hear from you soon;)
love, kp:p
I am sorry, well 48 to 72 hours should do you. Some strains really start to pack on the christels during that period wile some don't seem to show a visual difference. There is a process with the chlorophyll and so onn that kicks in during this time and manufactures the last bits of the goody stuff to make it simple. Remember when lights are out the plant is kind of working double time, that is a whole other lesson though.
Well thanks you darling damsel without stress.
Bear hugs from Blue Adieu
hmmm, i cut her at 30 hours...
FILLED the dry box!!!! took me 2 hours to chop, hang and box!
gotta go, babe
love, kp:p
PICTURES!!!!!
I second that! I feel jipped! ;)Quote:

I thought you were going to show pics of sage before you chopped her!
Oh the humanity!!!!!
Well, since you won't put any pics of YOUR plants up, I will put something up for people to look at! :D ;) Enjoy!
:rastasmoke:

sorry guys, no cam:(
too paranoid to have some developed...
wish i had some too! as said b4, she FILLED the dry box!!!
good pix fog, sorry for not having n e:(
now i'm depressed...........
oh well,
love, kp:p
Hey, this wont be the last go round. Keep your head up.
Adieu
This thread finally feels dead :0( I'll miss this complex thread from a perplexed noob.
how's this for complex;
~hypothetically speaking~
i think they make a red mh bulb. can ne one confirm this? friggin ignitors cost 50$ each!
and gess what. 400w merc vapor bulbs work in mh fixtures:confused: had one, so i tried it.... no, i'm not USING it, just wanted to see:)
hey guys? i got a sage mom:D yep, she rooted:thumbsup:
i feel as if i've started a bean farm... wanted to make sure that when i discontinued, i'd have some to go from...
i now have a seed box, set up for a sog. i have trainwreck, bb, and MY sage (looks like the strain, but i cannot prove, she is from a baggie) sooo... going to have lots of hybrids:) 1 male tw one male bb :D
well, hope you guys come out tonite... i've been busy and havent spent much time out here in the last few days. but, i'm out of medicine, and sage is nowhere near dry yet...
i'll be up for awhile
love, kp:p
ps, cj, haven't forgotten about you sweetie, just been super busy. check your mail:)
iloveyou
Well, I havn't herd about a red spec MH, just MH conversions that are more spendy than the igniters. Sometimes it is one step at a time and we just have to wait and bide our time. You could always start off with one.
Will try to think of some more possibilities, always try to go the extra mile for you.
Adieu
loveyoutoo babe! how've you been gk? i've missed you and your wonderful insight!
love, kp:p
and brooke said to say, "hi"
so sweet bear:) i'm still looking... the reason i asked about the red spec mh is bc there is a mh bulb in the security light outside my house. it burns red/orange, just like hps... but it is not the shape of hps; it looks just like a mh:confused:
i'll check it out tomorrow...
found the prob with my clones... lack of water in the soil. the top was moist from mist, but the interior was dry as bone! remedied the prob, took new cuttings, threw most out ( bonzais are producing more and more branches. hydra has been hit with cytokinins and all eight heads were fim'd today:D this one is going to be a monster! i might just have to flower it from shear curiosity! i wanna see it BLOOM!!!)
well, i'm hanging out, if you stop back by:)
love, kp:p
Hey, stoppin' in to say HIgH! :D
Interesting experiments you have going on there. :D Hope sage is keeping you company. ;)

best air freshener in the world sweetie;):thumbsup:
love, kp:p
ok, here's an out of the blue...
i found some raggedy dust (eeewwwww) but in desparation i took this bowl full of pot powder and took one of the previously infested and damaged buds from the isolation paper(<hahalol) were they were kept sepparated from the clean harvest.
chopped it up int finely diced gummy weed (realy moist) and put this in a little box with the powder(mix it up so it'll burn as the bud was not dry at all), and loaded the bubbler...
now, let me say this; the dustrefer was dirt. nasty stuff, wouldn't loade a first timer.
first hit was sorta acrid, chlorophyllic. but the aroma was AMAZING! read a description of the strain sage... WOW!!! just like that! i think i hit the nail on the head:)
so, bowl and a half later, i'm thinking about ALLLL kinds of stuff... mind wandering everywhere. smoooooth body stone and spacey cerebral. very relaxing; i could go to sleep if i wanted to, but since i don't i notice that it has "uppity" characteristics as well.
this is by far the best i've had this year. i'm even IMPRESSED! here's a thank you to all of my mentors ~hugkiss~ i am totally loving it:D
which brings me to a discussion idea....(before i load another bowl, and go to bed...)
~hypotheticle oppinion~ (note: anything stated by princess both prior, and upcoming are fictional and completly hypotheticle; last notice)
i was thinking about how the powder accentuated the greenbub and helped it burn and i drifted to another train of thought...
i've smoke good bud; i've smoked REALY good bud; i've smoked OUSTANDING bud; i've had some of THE BEST bud in the world; and i've even had alien weed (completly OUT OF THIS WORLD)
but some of my BEST overall and well rounded highs have come from blends of two or more different kinds of bud.
has n e one else tried this? i personally think that blends are more balanced and mellow. where you would normally get the effects of wone strain, the other would certainly have different characteristics.
the end result is a stone that is overwhelming to all of the senses.
i just wish i could find more strains:(
well, time to burn more sagedirt haha:D hey, that's a blend too:)
until we meet again, farewell, my loyal and loving subjects;) gnite
love, kp:p
happy thanksgiving everybody:)

i wanna be a rockstar too;)

and thanx, when i get famous, you'll be amongst the first of my official "groupies" ;)
love, kp:p
ok everyone, i've decided after much debate (and a reference to this thread being dead) to start a new thread. this one is going to be in the strain section. hope to see all of you soon and i'll post a link here and at my other two threads tonite. after today, i'll let these die:( oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
i've also been toying with the idea of a grow log. what do you guys think? should i?
well, hope to hear from you guys tonite, especially you bear; i've something i'd like to ask you. might send you an email, and i'll soon have a christmas present for ya;)
love, kp:p
ok guys, here's the new one...
