Dive's "Live Nude Girl's"

Now that I have your attention =)

I have a new room,so I'll make another log.This is what i'll be starting with.
The room of course is gonna change a bit over the next couple weeks as I remodel it too suit my purpose.

The 2 type's of sprout's in this case are B-52 and NL/haze x euphoria
I Germinated the seed's in a cup of water.When the sprout's had an inch or so of root I put them in the aero-rooter.I didnt bother using the seedling cage. just set the sprouts right in the foam holder's.This way i dont have too deal with the roots growin thru the cage.

Room temp 71 deg.
Water temp 71 deg.
PH 5.8
PPM 600

Clone Light = 105 watt CFL
Veg Light = 4' - 8 bulb T5
Bloom = dual 600 watt HPS

We gonna do all hydro this time in all 3 stage's.

1 = clone/veg room
2-3 = B-52 and NL/haze x euphoria
4 = bloom room

Well the sprouts are looking good. they grow up so fast :weedpoke:

The ebb/flow system i use starts with a bucket inside a bucket. the top bucket gets hole's in it.then a piece of 3" pvc cut to 2-3/4" for a spacer.That keeps the bucket's from stickin' an also set's the flood too 1-2" below the level of the hydroton.

I'll buy the T5 light an some more hydroton pretty soon an set-up a veg area.There's still some work to do ...I gotta frame a wall w/door,then sheet rock,Mudd,and paint.And a list of other stuff of course ...but we are well under way in the new room.



Dive:stoned:

hey dive this is false advertising where's the nude girls?:S2::S2:

nice plants good luck;)

Well..we cant be sure that they're all girl's yet..But everyone in the cloner is naked...LOL

Everyone is lookin happy still.The water in the cloner want's too be at 800 ppm.I know that becouse whatever i do it goes back too that an stay's steady there.
The B-52 (which is a cross between Bigbud and skunk)Is growing way bigger, way faster than the Nl/Haze X euphoria. B-52 is in the back,Haze X is up front.
I popped some more bean's becouse i wanna be sure i get some girl's.

Startin to crowd each other so we split them up a lil. everyone looks good except one of the euphoria,it's a lil weak,and has weak root's ...Guess it was a weak bean.

I took off some fan leave's so the bean's an lower growth will get some light.
also they were pretty crowded.
One of the B-52 decided too be a boy (pic 3,but not sure if you can see the male flower starting.)
I put some more seed's in.(i sprout the beans like normal,then put them in tail side down.)

I cloned the big B-52 that showed male,to make him smaller, we wont use him till later.
Next to the clone is a B-52 sprout I started.
The weakest euphoria was male so I pulled it.Im not gonna breed the euphoria this time around.
As you can see in pic.3 we had some pretty big fan leave's goin,I cut off all the biggest one's.Some of you are thinkin' "WTH?" "what he do that for".Do not be concerned they will be fine.
I tossed in a pick from inside the cloner incase anyone wanted to see.

Dive:stoned:

still looking good dive!

I started framing the divider wall that will seperate the veg and bloom room's.

The plants look great,I started some clones off one that may turn fem.They are starting to pre-flower but im tired of waiting so i switched to 12/12,I'll run that till they show sex,then switch back.

I had to take much of the leaves from the afghani plant I'm now finishing up. It replaced all those leaves, and then some. I'm trying to get the plant to harvest and at 12+ weeks it's still green and thriving. The leaves grow back quickly enough.

Shov

I just ordered some "PAPAYA" from nirvana seed's.Look's like it may be fun.Im no fan of nirvana really...but they have a good price on usable seed's.I got my B-52 from nirvana...after breeding it against itself,it's as strong as any.



Dive:stoned:

cool setup.
plants are looking sweet.

The setup is so sick. I wish I had a whole room to grow in. Plants look great too! keep on updating:jointsmile:

You have a good setup. I'm too worried that I would mess up with hydro but if you know what you're doing, you can have awesome results. Good job so far!:hippy:

I needed room in the cloner so i put the biggest in the veg area. the 2 B52 both turned out male ....but no problem,I have more seedlings goin so we'll have a girl eventually.the euphoria are taking awhile too show sex.

I've been hand watering the veg area..its actually a drip system,but i dont have the pumps set up yet.So once a day I pour a cup of nute water across them.

I caught the flu so havent really done anything exciting for over a week,I'm feeling better now an will get back on it.



Dive:stoned:

oh yea ..an here's a pic.

I finished framing the wall,sheet rocked one side of it.

I installed the new 8 bulb T-5 "it's fkn awesome" 40,000 lumens and it look's like 40k. It's bright as hell.



Dive:stoned:

I'd think that 8 lamp fixture would be a good tool. I use my four tube all the time, veg adn bloom, I cahnge the lamps. But I only have one 'room'. Looking fine, feel better soon, Diver.

The owner of a local grow shop uses "only t-5's" for all 3 stage's and he swear's by it.Uses's less electricity,has less heat and get's great result's.

yo dive, are those t5's expensive? That 400w hps puts off sooo much heat.

It's a "sun system's new wave" cost me 340.00 and they threw in the bulb's free.
it will easily replace your 400w,and prolly be more effective really.

I'm getting bored waiting for a female...So i had my friend bring me some "Bubble Gum".He had it in his bloom room so it's about 2 weeks into flower.I took some clones from them,then put the plant's in my veg area,I'll try to re-veg. them and get a lil extra size out of it.

The sprout's are lookin good.The "bubble gum" clones havent rooted yet,as you can see they are still in flower mode.
I topped the big "BG's" when i took the cutting's, then a couple days later I took off the weak under-growth.I transplanted them into bigger pot's.They are looking bigger and healthier,the flower's have grown,but so far it hasn't really shown any sign's of stretching into veg.

Yeah it takes FOREVER to clone plants when they are in flower. And then they grow all stupid for a while, then get better. Atleast thats what happens to me. Someone said it goes faster if you cut off most of the buds. But idk.. Good luck mate

I pulled up some pic's of the bloom room from one of my earlier log's,so i decided to toss them in here for color.

Dive:stoned:

Great looking setup Mate!, im using the same pots & hydroton (although using a ring drip system. I have even been told my pots may be too big? You look like you have been doing this for a while, what is your take on this?

Anyone else got an opinion on this? My clones came with a few buds on them..

Subscribed! :)

Yea he's right man.As you can see im re-vegging some stuff also,and have flowering clone's.
One of my buddie's insisted i grow him some "BG",so we're gonna.And also i was bored waiting for a female B-52...
The bucket set-up we use is awesome for hydro or dirt i've done both.I dont have the bloom room finished yet, (since im not ready to flower plant's) When it's set up I will show detailed info. on how to run an ebb/flow set-up.
I will also have a drip system w/hydroton set up in the veg area.

Thanks for stoppin' by we'll have more fun stuff as thing's progress.

Can't hardly wait, Diver. :jointsmile:

Hey Dive whats the purpose for the milk crates?

The milk crate's keep the root's up off the cold ass concrete, allow's for good air flow,and also raises the plant's up so i can work on them w/out breakin' my back.
Im not gonna use them this time becouse I have a low ceiling and may need the extra height.

kk was just curious. I plan on making pedestals out of 2x4s and plywood for mine, like you would for like a washer and dryer, for mainly the concrete floor temp as you have mentioned.

Build so that you have the minimum amount of lumber touching the ground,and alot of gaps for fresh air to get under it.This will help prevent water from sitting under and around it,which may cause mold,also give's bug's less place to hide.

Dive:stoned:

can't wait to see what you have up your wetsuit sleeves dive!

i was stoned the other night and was reading one of your posts. i really thought about your username and it tripped me out. i've never been scuba diving (always wanted to though, will one day!). but i can't imaging diving stoned! f-that! (okay, probably one day!)

keep us posted.

-shake

Thank's for stoppin' by shake. burning a joint and dropping 130 feet into the ocean is one of the most amazing thing's i've ever felt,A person really need's to try that atleast once.Smokin a joint an jumping out of a plane is in the top 2.

The room is lookin fine.Bubble Gum is starting to stretch now so that meen's it's re-vegging.The seedling's look great. The BG clones have started rooting,I still havent finished the mud or paint in the flower room,but i'll get on it soon.


Dive:stoned:

Aight, after posting i laid down another coat of mud =).one more thin coat and i can do paint.
i took a cpl. pic's hope you guy's dont mind.

pic1= The 2 Bubble Gum plant's are lookin way better than the first pic's we have of them.
pic2= As you can see in this pic..the bud's are starting to stretch,That's a good thing this time.
pic3= The kid's in the cloner are fine.B-52 are the big sprout's,Bubble Gum are the gay lookin flower'd clone's,and the lil bitty sprout's are NL/Haze x Blueberry.
pic4= here's one of the rooting clone's. in the back ground is the constant read meter I use in the cloner.
pic5= This is a special pic,it's nute burn,I have been being lazy and feeding the "ocean forest" soil with veg nute's from the hydro res.The ppm in the hydro mix of course is too high for the F.F.O.F. soil. When i mix nute's for my soil plant's I never go over about 600 ppm.

Dive:stoned:

Divestoned,

Really excellent setup man. One of the cleanest and nicest I've seen on this forum. Your plants are looking great too. How long have you been growing?

Also, your pH, PPM, Temp meter...What's the brand? Where'd you get it? I would love to get onboard with one of those. I'm sick of my pens and meters.

Great stuff. Subscribed.

Skeet.

I found the make and model of your meter, so nevermind all that. I found that model on ebay for $150 free shipping...but i also found the Hanna Grocheck HI991404 for the same price and that has pH, TDS, EC, and Temp. I think i might go for the Hanna. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!
Skeet.

TDS/EC is the same thing as PPM.Hannah is a good brand of meter.My meter has been awesome,so i would buy this again,but either one is gonna be fun.

Thank's for the compliment's on the room,it's still improving,so keep watchin'.

pic.1= I picked up a res. today for the veg. area.
pic.2-3= I also hooked up the drip system.I used a 1/4 horse pump,and some basic drip system stuff that i had around from a previous soil grow.
pic.4= The big BG's are lookin good.
pic.5= here's an overview of what I Have on the veg. bench.
