Hey all ,
Been layin low for a lil , but not completely outa the game .
4 - Sour N/L X Nevilles Haze . 2 dirt , 2 dwc/drip hybrid .
1 - Swiss sativa / Super skunk X N/L in dirt .
Even got 5 1/2 flats of Marigolds going too . Yep no lie / no shame - flowers I cant even smoke . :hippy:
Not much for keeping notes but I think girls are in 5th week of veg. under 1000w hortilux hps . and the 4 sn/l x nev.hz. were topped 3 days ago .
Stay cool -n- stay safe
Crispi :jointsmile:
Those look great!! Your clones look like they are really coming along too!!:thumbsup:
No wonder your clones look so big. They're your marigolds lol. Sorry!!
Smokin the wrong flowers huh sis. ?
Only have 3 clones going of the newest 3way cross and wont post pics. until they're rooted and I got some braggin rights . lol Hidin em in the cabinet in the back of the middle pic.
Peace

Well once I make it big with "The WeedHound" I'll make sure you have enough Weedhound seeds to choke a horse...
Good to see you again crispi - glad to see you are still running the drip/dwc too. What kind of drippers are you using? I don't see a ring anymore.
I just got the final touches on the recirculating waterfarm installed tonight and I'm running it overnight to make sure there's no major leaks before I put plants in it. I used most (maybe all) of the mods you recommended on your old one. I'll post it up in that waterfarm club thread tomorrow.
PS: And get Bear to come back here too!!
beautiful looking flowers crispi :D :thumbsup:
ditto
I want to see the recirculating waterfarm system......me me me. :)
hahaha I swear she's not the only one; I didn't recognize them as ornamentals at first either! hee hee heeQuote:

I took the rest of the mix that I had made for the dunk, and put it in a mist bottle, and took a crapload more clones last night, just the boring old way that worked for me so well before, and actually put them back in the room where I had the most success... lol... if that's the only difference I am going to slap myself. Now they are sitting on the chest freezer in my pantry and I misted them with the wilt pruf + copper, and put the humidity dome on REALLY crooked so the ambient %RH is elevated but still not as high as it had been last time.

I haven't chatted w/ Bluebear in probably a month . I know he still spends a lil time over at I/C Mag but don't know his user name over there ? Im sure if you searched coir over there it probably wouldn't be to hard to find him .
Peace all

Peace Sis.

Hey folk, hope all is well with you and the Mrs. Glad to find you still in the sattle. The coco is still a marvle. I have a couple dozen in the bloom room. I will have to find out if we still have a cam around. I have this neet little girl in a pot smaller than a gal that is putting off about an OZ and I may try to post some pics, pretty intresting, no defs or root bound issues either.
Well, much love bro
Adieu
Hey Crispi I got the correct mix for a wilt-pruf dunk-
40:1 water:wiltpruf concentrate.
Have to try that out next time.
Glad the cuts are getting perky!
Yeah....missed you big fuzzy guy. Hope you'll be around for awhile. :) :D
dammit, i miss the bear....
stinky, glad to hear about the survivors, i'll be smiling big time if the old fashioned way proves best though :p
you tought me about the care free method ;)
Xcrispi did you make this bucket ur self ?If you did do you have a plan that i could follow,im keeping mothers in coco and that system would suit me to a tee . nice plants you got there Good to see you are around again blue bear
nice round buckets crispi.
cheers.
crispi, i just found three 15g black dog food buckets with flip top lids. i'd like you to help me brainstorm, i need to get some batteries for the cam...
Hey Bear , ears musta been burning huh ?Quote:

Actually Dave the wife made them . Handy lil thing she is .:) I screwd up n bought the waterfarm 8 pk. and now that all the bugs are worked out the only G/H parts that are left are the driprings -n- pump coloum . I have since found out that I pirated this idea unknowingly ->
heres a link 4 ya.

Kevin -n- Tom here are way way cool . might even sell you them w/o the lil airpump for less so you could buy a big pump w/ a manifold -n- run a mess of em . If you holler at them tell them the crazy deaf guy sent ya . :thumbsup: theres some better pics of mine w/ the added airstone in lower bukt if you search on here . "Crispis' latest hydro" I believe .
Peace Postman

Hey Bud luv ,
nice round buckets . lol
The worlds just a better place now that my buckets are round . G/H = Square ???? WTF were they thinking ? Soooooo Stupid . ;)
S/S ,
I'm up for some brainstorming , 15 gal. cells would support tree like growth . lol . You got 8 ft. ceilings sis ? I wish the hell I did .
Crispi :jointsmile:
Yeah! Put that guy to work!!!! :p :p
Scarlet....don't get me wrong. Once you have the setup I would be very happy to help you through the growing phase etc while you work out the hydro stuff. This kind of thing however.....it's just better this way. :(
here are some pix of the bucket (i know, it's not clean. just got them today from a feed and seed store, they'd been sitting outsid for a looooong time) the issue to work on is the lid; my biggest concern will be yeild, if i could do best with one plant per 15g, great, if two per bucket would be better, cool. i just need to get an idea for them. i don't have measurements, but it's about 24" tall, and 18"x14" wide sqaure. these are guess measurements, i could be way wrong, and probably shouldn't put that in yet, but....:p
and of course, some pix of the new babies :D
LOL, I'm seeing those things everywhere. . . Do you smoke around them?
yes, i do; they play at night, so i watch them when the lights go off. very trippy, very funny...:p
lol, now I want a lizard. . .or a skink. . .nah I want a snake. . .
I just like the photos of them and the colors.....really pretty.
Scarlet what's your plant with the buckets? Are you thinking of chaining them together or just completely seperated?

Peace

Which reminds me young man.....I like my square buckets. :p
As long as your back doesn't mind pickin them heavy things up sweet .Quote:

Peace sis

Don't have to pick them up.....I have sources.......:D
Uggggg does it for ya huh . lolQuote:

crispi; the thing with that is, the big side is the side that flips up. the little side is supposed to stay. it's a pitb to get off once it snaps closed. four 3'' net pots will fit on the little side (though i wouldn't do four...) what i was thinking (can you smell the smoke yet? swear something's burning...) is that i can put three 3'' pots in the little side; if i do a run with tiny indica's, i can do three per bucket (the dg could have had plenty of room three to a bucket) and if i want to grow a sativa tree, i can do just the one pot. hmmm.... i do not know...
also, i don't have anything large enough to act as a res for these three. so for now, i'm thinking sepparate. but, i need to put some kind of drain valve at the bottoms, because there is no way i can lift these things full of water, much less lug them out.
hmm, i'd love to use a 6''... maybe i can dremel most of the lip that holds the fixed end of the lid down, so it pops up easy...then i can have an indica bucket and a sativa monster bucket...leaving a third bucket...
...
...
:p
Yes DEFINITELY something to drain.....and a way to bring water in easily....about say 45 gallons of it? I have that same sort of funky tops on my rez...1/2 opens if you want and frankly....I hate them. The half that is supposed to stay open doesnt all the way....rant rant . What about some sort of piece of plastic (hard plastic) that you lay accrosse the top....then you can lift all pots out easily by lifting the plastic with the pots in it.
why make yourself use a plastic pot that's not right when buying a cheap dwc system or a paint bucket is so easy? i mean, you'll be spending money on the grow anyway, no reason to skimp just because you found a bucket that might work, unless of course it works well for you, but if it's a pain, why bother?
heh, you don't know me, do you?
Yeah....Scarlet's one of those to whom why in the world would you buy it if you can build it. I, on the other hand, love to buy things. I am what's known as "high maintenance" :D
Back w/ a few pics n ideas ,
The 4 snl x nev. hz. plants were topped 1 week ago today w/ some varried results a lil bit of tucking huge fan leaves in . The masochistic side of me wants to chop some fan leaves soooooo bad because alot of the new growth shoots are being blocked out .:chainsaw: And the extra 3way X mom thats getting flowered on the left - already gettin a lil yellow from my lack of dirt talents . lol .
I have a cpl. ideas -n- wanna experiment a lil w/ dif. stressers verses no stress . Not a very controlled exp. though as 2 plnts are in hydro , and 2 in dirt .
1- I'd like to cut a few fan leaves off w/ a razorblade on 1 .
2- steralize a pair of needlenose pliers and pinch a cpl. fan leaves off another .
3- fold the fan leaves up on 1 plnt n tie it up w/ a plastic coated bread tie .
4- all natural / just tucking .
Im curious about the speed of recovery w/ just an open wound verses the wound being pinched closed - and also if theres any dif. w/ tucking verses folding and the low stress options .
Im def. no cloning guru yet . so no pics yet . 1st try of 3 = grew a few roots but by that time that happened the top of the plants were down right Fugly . Gonna keep trying though w/ lotsa new tricks , ideas and experimentation an Stinkys behalf . Thanx sis . :hippy:
Been playin w/ electricicty in the new room lately and added a pair of 15 min. delays on the 2 -hps. to prevent premie bulb and ballast failures from hotstarts from brownouts and power outages in the ghetto before my nat. gas gen. can catch em .
I have a single 40amp 240v. line into a greenair controller w/ 4-10amp. 120v. outlets all gov. by the same timer. 2- w/ 15 min. delays for the 2 hps , 1-w/ a dual outlet fan speed controller for the 2 - 630cfm hurricanes , and the last outlet for the 6 ft. intellitrac light mover .
Only running 1 blower and 1 hps this grow . Next grow will be in fall / winter w/ less heat and humidity and I'll do 4 or 6 hydro buckets and fill the room and hopefully show off a lil w/ strains I already know rock -n- roll and foot my med. needs . :D
More pics. soon hopefully w/ the dif. methods of meaness , verses kindness and the end results . :greenthumb:
Peace all
Crispi :jointsmile:
Looking good Crispi!
Such a nice clean setup, I bet the concrete helps keep temps down nicely - needs more plants though! Overkill on the fans, Big ol phat cooltube - damn, boy, you bring a tear to this old mans eye... ;)
That is a great setup....think I'll run my stuff over there to your basement pronto. :)
Thanx Tokudai.Quote:

Nice and cool w/ all the concrete but still 80% humidity due to them being cellar dwellers . Damn glad we got a huge dehumidifier going = 40-45% :D
Yep overkill on the blowers , even w/ just 1 - at 630 cfm running , and the other one acting as a giant cork thats still inline = room temps of 75 deg. , = glass c/t surface temp is 85 deg. , and leaf surface temps = 72 deg. all measured w/ temp gun from the hotrod stuff . :thumbsup: Gearhead tools in the growroom rock !! I cant get much closer than 6 in. w/o bleaching .
So few plants this time because we've been doing all the flowers for our yard and border plants , 5-6 flats = :hippy: It's the only way I could talk the Mrs. into such a sweet rooms if she could play w/ her flowers too . Fair trade ?
All white , even the dirty industrial epoxied floor which needs a good washing . Looks like a hospital or asylium in there . It could be run as a seald room w/ very little effort but Im not very interested in co2 to be honset .
The ballasts and res. are outside to room too help w/ hum. / temp. Even the incoming cooltube air is filterd so we dont have to dust insides of cooltube via. the furnace filter on wall in the 1 pic. w/ all the darkroom vents for passive exhaust . We only have a 250 cfm booster fan for fresh air intake but they dont seem to mind the room being slightly pressurised .
Hi Weedhound ,
Right now I bet theres room for your stuff too I bet :) it's 10' x 12' .
Peace guys
