hey th3 how is this grow going??

[th3bigbad]

heya aaron hows it goin??? im good and so are my plants thanx for asking. i have sexxed then with 3 outa 4 being females im happy. 1 turned out to be herme. but with just 1 loss ill be ok. lol they are about 5 1/2' tall now and have started to bud out nicely. looks like they should be done before to aweful long. i started a new cabnet inside and have it all hooked up. i started a grow in there about 2 weeks ago. its a small cabnet 2'wX4'lX4'h. iev tried a few different tricks i came up with just to see if they work. ill be useing this box more i hope. i took all my lights outa my barn and put them in the cabnet. so ive got 10X4' floros so it should be enuogh for a while anyway. i will start to bud these at 12". ive got 12 started but i know ill lose a few and theres gota be a male or to. so i hopeing for 4 good females. i made a homemade kinda CO2 pump for them and wow what a difference. they have really started to grow now. way faster, thicker stems and at least 2x as many nodes as the barn grow. thses are just bag seeds to, but about 3/4 of them have purple stems. i have no clue what kind they are, but they seem to be doing good so far. anyway, hows your hydro man? did you get it all set up yet?

its a guerilla plant

with huge leaves

i have had some.. setbacks? bad luck i guess..

what do you mean by a co2 pump?

[th3bigbad]

setbacks??? "whatchya talkin about aaron?" lol and as for the CO2,,, i grew for a few weeks in just the cabinet with just light and plain ole air. but then i read more and more about how CO2 will help out alot so i wanted to try that. will after finding out how much the timers and all that you need to use bottled CO2 are i thought i'd better come up with a way to get it cheaper and in a small cabnet like mine i dont have room for the bottle or much of anything for that matter,,,, but i read that burning natural gas gives off plenty of CO2. well i mover my cabnet to the room next to the water heater that burns natural gas. well long story short, i ran the exaust pipe outa the top of the water heater into the cabinet down about 1/2 and a new pipe out of the top of my cabnet to the roof exaust for the water heater. CO2 is heaver than air so the CO2 settles to the bottem of the cabnet, while the hot air raises to the top of the cabnet where i have a fan to suck it out of the other pipe and out the roof. ( no smell and no heat) some say that the CO2 just falls down around the the fire inside of the water heater and stay in the water heater closet, but im not too sure i believe that. the water heater pulls a vaccuum so it doesnt seem possible for the CO2 to stay down there and not get pulled out.the plants were growing ok before the CO2 but now they are "for lack of a better term" kickin ass. the plants are about 8" and the stems are about the size of ink pen, with some with 9 nodes. they are thick and full. i think ill start makeing them bud in less than 2 weeks maybe 1. the temp in the cabnet went from 78 to a high of 82( thats with the water heater running for 3 hours srt8).i dont have a meter to check the CO2 levels or anything so i have no clue how much they are getting, but i know the plants dont lie and they are happy as hell right now. ima try to grow with only floros this time just to see if i can do it. i think 10 4' floros may work. well let me know about your setbacks. take care

[Aaron385]

To explain (this is cut and paste from veggie thread):

I have all the best nutes and additives left over from my other grow.. if you notice on the pics that tub is actually the one I was using in my other grow.. which had to be canceled due my dumbass roomate getting drunk and telling the whole world.. he now owes me alot of money which im sure I will never see again.

Maybe in a year or two when everyone I meet doesnt know me as "the guy that grows..." thanks to that loud mouth mother f...

Heres a tip for all to enjoy.. if you have a roomate or friend that cannot be avoided from knowing about your operation.. make them financially involved in it big time.. make them order your hydro gear and put solid money in the deal.. like hundreds of dollars! otherwise they have nothing to lose by telling everyone and since they want to sound cool and are too dumb to do anything cool on their own.. you get burned.

So.. yea.. setbacks

I went from the perfect cover to fucked overnight and I mean before I ever bought the first floro for this proj I had a nice LONG talk for days about keeping 100% silent and not tellin ANYONE.. how to deal with cops.. everything that could and would happen.. and most importantly NOT TO TELL ANYONE!!

But just as the first white hairs showed up a friend from his work showed him a pic of a bagseed plant growing in a coffiecan on his cell phone and this guy was just like "ah thats nothing.. my roomate has a setup thats so much cooler than that.. it has hydroponics.. co2 and 1000w light.." exc exc.. (dont you hate ppl that try and one up you by telling you about how much better their cousins sisters friends bf's whatever is??? FUCK!).. I knew he was like that but I didnt think he would talk about it.. I guess he thinks if I get busted he wont?? I dont fucken know.. I have barely talked to the guy since the day I tore down my whole setup. I lost at least a couple grand in the deal. So pissed.

Anyways.. that transpired between me asking how your grow was doing and you responding.. but I am really glad you are still at it and I applaud your inginuity. I was using a coleman camping cat heater to raise co2 levels and it did work (verified with Telair PPM sensor and that glass tube kit they sell for CO2 measuring).

Keep up the good work.. I have another year till my lease is up here in no grow land and at best I will find a new place to live (and grow) by then.. and a new (or NO) roomate.

damn arron sorry to hear about all these "setbacks". not to sound like a selfish ass, but i really wanted to know how your setup worked out. i hate ppl like that( and i live in a town full of them). ive been busted twice just cuz some1 said i was growing or i was holding. luckly i wasnt growing or holding eithor time, but i lost a cool assed bong. and it was brand new never used glass bong that i had bought the day before for the loc headshop for 100.00. so all in all i was lucky but still sucks that ppl just have to talk. there are only 2 people that know im growing that know me #1 wife #2 myself. i think im purdy safe "for now". lol ill post a few pics by this week end. im waaaay freakin happy with this grow so far. i think i mightve statred the nuts alil on the soon early side ( ive got a few with lil yellow spots on the leaves), but they are just about over it. BTW, i tried to clone. lol i am sooo not good at that. i broke one of my barn plant's branch off, so i just had to try. thats just turned out 42 flavors of bad. all are dead now. so thats an hour ill never get back. lol
have you thought any about growing outdoors? ive got a few plants just droped off here and there, and they all seen ok so far. but this heat is hurting them bad. they need water but i dont wanna go around them too much. when i planted them i put some of those clear "jelly-like" things that are used for watering in the soil so they arent dead yet, but they are starting to burn up. oh and FYI those lil "jelly-like" watering things arent to cool for growing out side. when everything is brown and dieing and your plants are green and happy they tend to stand out a bit. lol

[Aaron385]

i know what your talking about on those jelly pellit things.. I think they were actually the original hydro medium for this side of the globe.. anyways yea I have a couple areas in mind and a few seeds left over that I will drop in the ground whenever temps get out of the 100's.. I think we will have a late enough or mild enough winter to probably pull a few plants to maturity out in the wild.

When/if I go back to growing I will go hydro. Its tits for sure.

Oh keep up at the cloning.. when I was throwing everything out I pulled the cuttings out of the rockwool that I had taken and they were actually rooting.. I took pics.. so sad to see um go

At least now I know.. hey go to urbangrower.com and watch remo do clones.. pay attention to how he shakes the rockwool dry before cuttings! I think thats what did the trick for me. Also not keeping um too wet or too dry.

[th3bigbad]

hey this is my cabnet grow. these are 1 month old and i think they are really goin good so far. the long skinny few you can see in the back ground are the clones that have all but died. i figured id let'em stay untill they are completely dead.my batts in my cam went out on me before i could get any pics of the cabnet but ill post some soon. well what do ya think??? these are bag seeds too. so i dont have a clue about what kind they are. i started the nutes about 1 week ago, and i think ill start flowering maybe next week. they are around 8"-10".:thumbsup:

[Aaron385]

NICE!

Yea dont give up on the clones till they are dead as a doornail.. I had a few come back from the almost dead.

Have you thought about a designer strain yet? like seedbank seeds?
