Doing Things Right the Wrong Way: The Guide to Growing Ghetto

[Tokudai]

I dunno, its still in flower - day 47ish. I don't think I'd do it to a seed, the yield is going to be next to nothing, plus a seed would get rootbound in that cup in no time. Maybe a gram or two - lol an 1/8th? I just had an extra clone cause I cut too many and they all rooted - I couldn't throw it out. That would be mean! I wanted to see what no nutes and my high ph water did

You want ghetto?

Check out my first 400 watt HPS light about 5 years ago I bought it off ebay for about $69 shipping included.

This was an industrial shop light. You cant tell but the hook was two small for the clothing rod, so I used rope to tie it to the rod.

Sold it on ebay for $80.00 a few years ago.

LOL! I almost bought one just like that! Then my buddy let me borrow his light.

cool thread lets keep it going! :rastasmoke:

love the beer cup grow! lol

if you think about it you can have 2 outdoor harvests/year if you say, train some hard core mamas and then clone them and grow that 2 times/year hahaha, tricky. But say you vedge the clones for a month and flower them in feb (depends where you are of course, like sothern Cali for example)you have harvest in april before light cycle really changes and make some crazy early spring harvest strain lol

Day 50 - I guess I don't need to worry about flushing since I didn't use any nutes?

sik2006 thatd be great to lbe able to pull 2 OD harvests a years - not gonna happen for me though, I cant start outside til mid may sposedly!

Well, someone tried to unload one of those on me recently. Had to turn it down. Wonder why. LOL.

Tukodai...damn...for a crappy little plant, that thing sure does have some nice trichomes. Nice for a j or two. Cool.

actually, it's the idea behind SOG (sea of green) growing. lol, i have some flowering clones in the same sized cup! harvest in a week to two... looks like 1/4-1/2 oz each.

thanx tok; a beer cup grow log would be excellent, if you would like to do the honors... that's one of my chapters

So very glad you fixed that. I'm getting goosebumps trying to abstain from going around yelling at everyone who messes that up. I was SURPRISED that Tukodai was the one who did that. I'm sure it was an honest :stoned: mistake. Is there a thread out there that compares SCROG to SOG? I'd love a link if anyone has one. Where did all the friggin' stickies go, btw.

Cool thread, Scarlet. You could consider the Original Rubbermaid Bloombox pretty ghetto. Maybe I'll throw some pics of it up here in a little.

Tok! Pour me a cup of that wouldya?!

Fresh on tap - day 67

Even for a little f00ker like this one, look how much root mass is needed to support it! It was totally rootbound when removing it, just one big clump in a 16oz shape.

Started showing all sorts of signs of deficiencies in the last few days(as well it should have!) and wierd colors. Remember, no nutes ever, flowered on day of xplant, and watered with straight well water - way high (7+) ph and 170ppm. Still didn't keep it from packing on the trichomes though, which to me shows its mostly in the genes.

Environment, in this case, it appears didn't do much to hinder the potency, only yield and overall health/growth rate. I'll know for sure when I taste test/compare, but the ones I treated with the normal bloom routine - food, flushing, etc seem just as frosty and smell the same - just bigger.

From the close up, it looks to me like it actually looked better 2 weeks ago, although this "harvest" is only a couple of days past the range I usually cut this strain (63ish). Perhaps the rootbound condition and poor environment caused it to mature earlier, as I alluded too earlier.

I guess if I learned anything from this, its don't underestimate your container sizes! ;P
