GoldenGraham's StrOG

*takes long, deep hit off blunt as he is currently weed-less*

well since i can't have dogs at my place (too many mean neighbor dogs to raise a puppy), and i love pets, i have 3 cats. they use a lot of litter. so basically, i was looking for something easily constructed and easily maintained to add to my flower cabinet. so taking an empty 35# bucket (thanks, cats), i made a 2" hole in the top (which is hinged already - sweet) and then used the pipe insulation to wrap around the stem base. shoved that in the hole i drilled, added a small airstone and pump, mixed 3 gallons of nutes and BOOM! very nice mother-keeping setup, or could be altered to support 3-4 plants, which is probably what i'll do. best part was, it took me 8 minutes to gut, cut, and complete. peaking your interest, am i? :jointsmile:

totally! i want to get into hydro and don't have much room at all right now (although we are moving soon, yea!). so one bucket might be a possibility (and i have two cats!). and i definitely need an HPS! i'm trying to convince some buddies to finance this mad scientist. i blew my friends mind when i showed him what i was working with in soil after he smoked some locally grown white widow that he was jocking!

it will hopefully be coming together soon. i am gonna upgrade either way, like i keep saying. one of these days.

i'm about to get the new grow log up. i'll check back later. keep up the great work brother!

Yeah, I'm a take this bitch over soon with my STRoG. Good news I got a heat pad. $15 bucks pharmacy section. Got my res temps at 74 right now toying with my timer to try and get them down to 70ish. If I leave the mat on all the time, it will be too warm.

Luckily, i picked up a timer for a buck at the local "good will", not called that tho, has 15 min. settings so I am trying to find a good setting like 30 min off, 15 min on. Still trying to figure it out. But clones are looking good on day 3!!

Check my log when you get a chance, and rememeber...it's not a log.

wow. forgetting my log. now thats a stoner for you.

well, not much to update with, really. my lapse of care on the StrOG has been corrected, and if i get 50% of my clones to root every time, i'll be harvesting 1-2 ounces every two weeks. so far, i got 4 super healthy clones about 12" tall, 4 more starting roots and 4 more cut only two days ago. i think i'll just chop clones every week to be sure i stay "in the money."

one other thing, i'm currently flowering my last mother DWC-style in one of those 35 lb. kitty litter buckets. need a better air pump, but that thing is going crazy. i shouldn't be too surprised, as this is the 1st flower in which their roots weren't restricted. so, yay for that. i'm in the (slow) process of cleaning out the closet in that bedroom and making a mother area in there. think 6 - 4' T12 fluoro tubes would be enough for two moms(2 bulbs above and 2 bulbs either side)? i will not spend anymore $ on lighting until i get a HPS.

good to hear about that heating pad, lit. my local nursery sells seedling mats with an adjustable thermometer. 1'x2' costs $15. 2'x2' costs $20.

yeah, i've been kinda spotty with my presence here on canncom. i just posted on your newer log though.

stay safe

It's not a log. I should have checked my local nursery for one, shit! My pad has high, medium and low but you know how that is.

Will you be partaking in an outdoor this summer?

[GoldenGraham84]

i myself, no. but my parents are demanding 12 healthy clones for the summer. its so funny... my mom was just asking me if i could find a QP for her. best parents ever.

haha, that's awesome GG. i wish i had parents like that ...

you should be good with the 4 - T12's for the mom's in there. it really just depends on how quickly you want them to regenerate for new clones. At 4 per week, I think you should be fine.

hey lit, i'm going to be running a pretty nice outdoor show for sure. next weekend i'm heading out to find a few more spots (trying to find a total of 10 spots to reduce loss). you should join in the outdoors GG!

yeah, i've thought about it but i'm noided out enough from my indoor stuff. i have contemplated being like a psuedo pot god and just putting clones randomly throughout the area. that would kick my karma in the right direction. :jointsmile:

hahaha, that's funny, that is kind of my plan.

i'm right outside a city so random forest is limited. this years plan is "set it and forget it". i won't be torn up if none of it comes through, i'm not depending on it for anything.

peace.
