headshake's new adventure in ghettoness

[headshake]

okay, where to start. on 3/1 i started 36 hours of darkness. well i forgot to start the lights again and didn't check on the ladies until 3/8! the tops were dead so i chopped them all off. the plants did survive though! so i nursed them back to health.

i must say that molasses is amazing! everytime i hit them with it they flourish and get tons of new growth! i'm gonna experiment with it some, but i have a feeling that it will work in veg too!

sorry for the tangent, back to what's at hand here.

once they got healthy, ~3/11 i started 36 hours of darkness again. yesterday i transplanted a few that were rootbound. i need to pick up some square pots. i'm currently using homemade 2-liter bottle pots. i mean they work fine, i just think the shape will work better for my space requirements.

i'll get a few pics up in a bit.

i still have plans on getting the fox farm trio for hydro (with a bottle of the soil one too). also the soluble tri-pack as well. but we had some fradulent charges on our bank account and then friday was my wifes birthday (and she got a $300 stand mixer!). so once the money is right i will be ordering them.

and the big box in my corner is gonna be put into service soon. it is 45.4" x 21" x 24". this will be the flower box. i am gonna go with a sea of green, perpetual harvest. i hope to yield 1/2 LB every two weeks by pulling 8 plants at 30 g's per. i think this is very doable, and i should probably get more once everything is dialed in. i want to go with a dro system . it's time to get my roots wet! i was thinking of using two of those underbed storage boxes. one in the box as a flood tray and one underneath as a res. sound feasible? i'm open to suggestions. i'll probably slowly start getting it ready for use while this current crop is finishing. just take me time with it.

i also have a box that is 18" x 18" x 23 1/4" for a clone/mother setup. i'll be using a bubble cloner and probably, eventually (with more experience and better genetics) some bonsai moms.

i think that pretty much sums everything up for now. i'm glad to be back. thanks for everyone staying with me during my hiatus!

i watered yesterday and hit the ladies with some superthrive and molasses. they really seem to dig the molasses. it seems like it makes em grow like crazy.

i had to chop down 3 males. the beaster and the two R.G.C.'s. no worries though. the box is still full!

i will be germinating some seeds probably starting today. maybe tomorrow.

once this current batch is done i hope to get the fox farm nutes and soluble packs.

i'll have some pics up in just a few. off to take them now.

what's good everybody? here is a quick pick. my kids are in-town for spring break so i don't have a whole lot of alone time. they were looking really nice until the whole 36-hour darkness turned into 7 days. lol. but they survived and once i cut the top off i got the two shoots instead of the single.

i chopped 2 more males down today.

i think i'll put some into germ tonight to get a cycle going. and the nutes should be getting ordered shortly.

and slowly but surely i'm getting new parts for frank II.

hey shake i've been meaning to ask you,

whats the MM on Bevo? my local headshop has a sick burnt orange ash catcher with a silver longhorn symbol in the bubble on the side that would look awesome with bevo.

but your plants are lookin real sweet man. "pic 1- 9 ladies (pretty sure they are all women). " --- i sure hope so bro. NO MORE DICKS IN THE FAMILY!!

good luck bro.

oh and im glad you ditched to 70hrs a week job, we were starting to miss ya around here.

[headshake]

thanks kron! glad to be back around here. the job almost killed my girls and everything. can't be having that.

and i'm 99% poxitive that all of the rest are female!

and i'm blowed and possibly blowed but what is the MM on Bevo? and she broke! the dogs knocked her over. i caught her but it fell stem side down and it hit the carpet and broke right where the stem starts to form. totally sucks!

i got it at the blue phoenix on rosemeade though. maybe i'll get another one one day.

what's good everybody? checkin in with a report. i hit the ladies with some nutes today. still using the green light super bloom or some such crap, with superthrive and molasses.

quick side note, my lovely wife ordered me some fox farm nutes. i have the grow big for soil and hydro, big bloom, tiger bloom, cha ching, beastie bloomz, and open sesame. as well as some 5"x5" square pots!!!!

i also started the germ process on some new beans. still just using beans from sacks with names i see fit to give them. and those names (and quantities) are as follows:

7x dank (random seeds from a friend i think there are some from an afghani kush, super silver haze possible, maybe some bubblegum but honestly who knows?)

8x Green Tea (G.T), came from some popcorn that was really light green and i had just made some green tea, so you figure it out!

5x After Da Bust (A.D.B.), this is from some popcorn my buddy has currently that is the first stuff he has gotten since getting busted. it doesn't look great, really dark green with a few hairs, but the high is good. so why not?

5x Grand Daddy Corn (G.D.C.) so named from a buddy of mind. you know, the best 'corn. blah, blah.

i think that is about it for now. and here are a few pics too!

sorry for the various size pictures. i just started (like 2 days ago) using linux. don't know shit about anything!

[KingKronic420]

well, damn man that sucks to hear about the pup breaking Bevo. I know how it feels though, I had a cat that thought my 3 footer was a sratch post and knocked it into a table and shattered it.

but the plants are still looking good bro. keep it up!

[headshake]

thanks chron. that's sucks about your 3 footer. "you should never let a cat scratch on a bong, kid."

the ladies appreciate the flattering comment.
