Well things have been really hectic around here.

I was trying something new....and I was baked....

So my third crop is the one in my gallery mainly. (except bob and the CitrusXSkunk).

I've been trying all kinds of things, such as the leaf twisting which I hope to later try grafting the two stems together and see if I can make them bond in an attempt for natural support when I get the big bud in. I have also been trying alot of new products. I currentlt use Blu-Moon organic nutes and Dutch Master Penetrator and Folitech. I will soon be introducing the Max FX also. This is going to up the yeild by 30% and I want to test them on that too.
Anyway the point of this is that I was trying Excellofizz which give CO2 from a tablet placed in water above your lights.

Now here is the important part of being a Mad Professor. Don't get too baked before trying something new. I've used the Excellofizz before but not a full tablet, I always broke them down since I didn't want to use for a whole 12'X12' room. Well I used the same container as before and the water bubbled over like Niagra Falls and into my power strip and one poor little exposed 42W CFL.

I was running for my computer to pull the powerstrip off it cuz I had to switch off the lights and I was pulling plugs and trying to get the rest of the CO2 out of my room so it didn't effect us.

The moral is Don't get too baked when trying to be a scientist! LOL So now after having changed the light cycle to 14/10 the day of the light prob, and then having a nice visit by the power guy and losing power for 3 days.
I have now christened this the Murphy Grow!
I don't think I will be doing too much more experimenting on this batch. They have been through alot of changes lately.

And well face it, I want a good harvest!

Now that I've let you know what is going on in my garden for the moment I wanted to go over those upsidedown planters.

I've been looking at them with alot of interest. I wonder if gravity will make much of a difference on harvest and if the trich production will have much effect, and what medium will be the best. I would think that flushing would be tough and how would you keep the nutes from running down the stem to burn it.

I also have an idea to grow up a trellis in the grow room firmly anchoring the stems to the wall and when the plant gets big enough to fill all the verticle space then moving the light to the floor and let the buds grow down like grapes so to speak. This was another of my stoner ideas, I think this is more addressing small closet space issues then to get the biggest harvest. There is a term for growing fruit trees against a wall like that but I don't remember it now.

Anyway time for me to jump to the chat. I'll check in will everyone again soon.
