the complex questions of a perplexed noob

ok bear, but you'd have to bring gk and stinky with you...

i think root builder is burning a couple of my clones; they are super rooting, but new growth is yellow and wilted. these are the late bloomers, though, so we'll see how they are tomorrow eve...

sage is EXPLODING! her buds are growing by the minute (or so it seems...). so far i see at least an ounce, maybe 1.5 after dry (past experience gesstimates)

how's your room, bear? coming together? i'd love to see pix, but that would kinda defeat the purpose of a hidden room...

how's the hushmail?

well, see ya when the lights come on!

love, kp:p

Princess, Would love to try sage, but time and space are always a problem.
I have been out for 4 weeks and my first time grow are only a week old today. Oh well, will just wait for a while :)
Bear, sorry to hear about your friends and my thoughts are with you.
Peace to you both

Thanks Lock. KP the hush mail should be affective tomorrow sometime and I already have that out ready to be packed up in a box of peanuts ready to make a mess for you when you open it.
Well as for my room, I put together one of my hoods last night, the thing is 4 FT diameter and took a minute to do on my own, still have one more to do. Wired up the 400w today with wify, nice treat. Picked up some roles of plastic to put on the floor and to help seal the walls of the new room. Got about a dozen clones under a 175 MH about to go under the 400w for two months, they are already about 2 weeks since rooting so they will be about 10 weeks when I flip them into flower. There are about a dozen seedlings about to take their place and 4 old mothers that I am flowering out in the 1K cabinet, about to go in the new 2K room when it is done. I also had to pick up some tarp zippers today and other than the Oder neutralizer that I am going to order on Mon I think I am good as far as having everything, now just the elbow grease. OH, I may fire up the CO2 tank this run if I get around to it.
Wish I could sample Sage, but maybe I will get to meet one of her offspring someday.
As for the struggling clones, I have found that no matter if you cut and treat every clone exactly the same, some just are a little weaker and have a harder time for what ever reason and that's the breaks.
PS, when the room is complete, maybe I will give a one time shot of it for you. Adieu

If you wanna save money you can call a local electrical supply and just ask for a 400w HPS multi tap transformer kit with capacitor and ignitor. Like $110 And those poor males you are torturing please just kill them. Torturing plants is bad grow karma. ANSI s 51 is any 400 hps ballast. Ansi m-59 Is any 400w M.H.

well creac, soon as males give me some pollen, it is to the hogs they go...

400w hps multi tap... does this mean you can run more than one bulb?

to hemlock, some of sage will go into storage for safe keeping (you ever hid a stash and forgot until you ran out for a few days?) her offspring will also be around. some...where...over the rainbow...

did a trich check on sage... (got my microscope(60-100x) today) only about half cloudy yet, the rest are clear...

bb's are starting to look like buds. now they have tons of hairs.

sounds like the room is almost done, bear...(putting my little lab to shame...)

clones are good, even the two wierd ones (they're in smaller pots, too; think that might be a prob.) i expect to flower off 5 clones in a few days, keeping the other 5 for moms. i've got to clone sage's clones too... and who knows? maybe this spring, a bird will come by, accidently eat a bud whilst trying to catch a bug, then the bird migrates to alaska, craps on your car; then you see these perdy little seeds in the crap...hose off the car, scattering the seeds into the lawn...two months later you'll have the nicest yard with prettiest grass, lol...

going to cross sage with a bb male, if the males ever put out!!!

well, be back soon, gotta go do some chores...

love, kp :p

ps. i LOVE peanuts, babe! you ought to do christmas at my place some time... (you'd prob never come back; run off screaming, "that damn psyco broad! she's tring to kill me by smoking that wakky with me... somebody call 911! she's insane; trying to hold me up with friggin p-nuts...) lol, just joking bear; a trip down memory lane, if you will...

well, luv, luv, luv, luv, luv....

love, kp; again :p

pps. if sage is this good now, i wonder how she'll do fully ripe...

Multi tap transformers can run off 120 or 240 volts. Kill all the plants you want just have some mercy. Like if you dont want any pollen kill males right away trust me.

hey, the worst they got was yesterday morn, 31 degrees when i went to work and they went outside. other than that, the are the most spoiled POW's you'll ever see...

but i need seeds, so... i hope they friggin bloom today...

love, kp :p

I didnt think you were using the pollen. Its fine to keep em around if you r gonna use em. Without proper care it will be hard to tell Which male has superior genes. Healthy males = Healthy offspring.

two males are bb's, the deffinition of health, the third, vine like, think he's trainwreck, got bit by the cold this morn; he may not make it... tops are dead, don't know about the rest yet. bb's didn't have a prob with the cold this morn...

love, kp :p
