the complex questions of a perplexed noob

[BlueBear]

Sorry little lady so, so busy today, this is the first time that I have had a chance today. Miss chiming in more, hope in a couple of days it will change.
If I am out tomorrow I will be sending out holiday presents at the Post Office. Until next time yours truly and faithfully, Blue

Little Princess the bird has flown the coop today. This will help you figure it out www.onlinepot.org/grow/wiringlights.htm.
This particular thinggy has been set up to use both HPS and MH, meaning it is an MH ballast but with an igniter which is used on HPS bulbs. I would break everything down and then rewire it from the link above without the igniter because it can cause MH bulbs to run shorter lives. Also, it is wired for 220 volt right now and you will want to wire it for 120 if you are going to put a normal plug on it. It had some super ghetto socket on it so I threw a brand new one I had laying around in with it.

my knight in shining armour

oh, what a day! not bad, just looooong... babies are doing fabulous. 5 bb's are budding like crazy, clones (from bb's) are growing like crazy, and i now have two moms, and 7 new clones. going to get some more tonite:thumbsup:

saw sage this morn, she's doing great, and gaining weight. triching up well. trichs are half cloudy.

males still haven't blossomed yet. hurry up!

i can't wait, and neither can the girls... they're thanking you already!

thanx so much, bear... i'd write you a long story or song or something right now, but i'm exhausted, have to do some stuff still, and i love you my darling bear you are my hero!

see you in the morn.

love, kp

~hypotheticle question~

what is the best way and method to refridgerate/store clones for an all at once sog?

[BlueBear]

Not a problem little lady. It is a pleasure to do you a good turn. I will be waiting for a song.
Well about storing clones, as far as I can tell, cutting your clones at a longer point than you will intend to plant them is where you start, and then place them in a bowl of water like you would normaly do, then once the clones are all taken then stor them in a zip lock bag with a small amount of water touching the cut off point of the clones and put in the veg dror. Haven't done it my self, but this is the method that I have read about.
I have herd of people storing them up to 7 weeks. You may want to try a few at first and see how they do,, and let me know.

[Garden Knowm]

storing them in a platics bag??? With no O2... hmmm I don't like that... : (

Is that what you ment Bear? and what do you think about that..? I think a plant in a zip lock bag for 7 weeks will surely die. and get covered in mold...

iloveyou

to be cont....

[BlueBear]

Hey GK, like I said, I haven't done it, but I have read various threads on IC with people discussing the process like it is the norm.
Also, like I told her to only do a few to see how it works. What would your suggestion be? I guess I can imagine mold or root rot, but I have doubted many other things that people have pulled off. With this I do not have enough experience to say yay or nay.

~is this normal?~

i've never b4 used a microscope to check trichs. i am doing so now.

~question~
is it normal for 25%of trichs to be clear, two trichs amber, and the rest cloudy?
also;
just checking, waiting for a late harvest n e way (couchlock effect is what i need...) but she (sage) is doing great except...SPIDER MITES!!!! shot the hell out of her with safer's...
how long do you think b4 most (70+%) of trichs are amber?

hi guys, how are my valiant guardians today? thanx for the input on refridge, bear, i haven't had time to weed through the info... but i will tonite and let you know...

good to hear from you gk! how are you babe?

i'm a sucker for experimentation, so 4 of the newest clones will be donated to science...

well, my darlings... i'll be back when the lights come on

love, kp

[TheGreenFog]

Hey, kp. Definitely let us know how that experiment goes. I'm curious myself. I can't be of much help, but I'd love to see sage before ya chop her. Hope you beat those filthy mites! Arrrgh... :cursing:
