 Welcome to the Mad Hatter's Tea Hour Your journey down the Rabbit Hole has come to an end. Get comfortable, grab the headphones, and load a bowl. The awaiting adventure has only begun. To prepare us for this "fellowship of the green," Allow me to awaken your senses with a little music and chronic-on-babe action. Smile! There were 4 strains. We vaped 1 of them though, so I made an arm out of the Volcano bowl.  And now for the chick (she's been working hard, too). Sorry, no pot leaf bikini pictures.  Intro Thank you to Firstly, I would like to thank everyone at RIU for their time and motivation in posting their own journals and experiences. Upon starting this entire project, I never knew the toil and steep learning curve involved. Thank you all for sharing your wealth of information and experience. I welcome your comments! As for me, I have been a member by another name here on RIU since 2007. Changed my name to protect the innocent (me =D). My Specs Space: I am working with a nice sized room that I will build a 5'x5'x10' tent. This attempt used PVC for the framework and panda film.Lighting:
H2O and Nutes:
Genetics: Grow Method: I have been following M Blaze's work. I am inspired. I hope to grow MONSTERS like his some day.The Plan
And now, the pics. 2009-08-28 DAY 01 for Clone - Picked up cutting. 2009 - 08 - 31 DAY 03 for Clone Clone Pictures - Had the cutting for 4 days before taking these pictures. When I got it, it came as a new cutting in a rapid rooters. I was told genetics are Green Crack. I think it might be Grape Ape. Hopefully someone will recognize the strain in later pics and can help me out with the genetics. Here's the clone next to a humidifier.  2009-09-10 DAY 13 for Clone DAY 00 for B52 Decide to germinate 5 B52 seeds:  2009-09-12 DAY 15 for Clone DAY 02 for B52 3 seeds germinated within 24 hours. The other 2 germinated in 36 hours. A couple pics of them:    2009-09-14 DAY 17 for Clone DAY 04 for B52 I saw roots through the rockwool, so she's going in the growing tub:  2009-09-15 DAY 18 for Clone DAY 05 for B52 B52 seedlings sprouted. Yes, that is my make-shift foil propagation tray    Notice the one in the bottom right hand corner. Runt it seems, will give it some time.  2009-09-18 DAY 21 for Clone DAY 08 for B52   2009-09-20 DAY 23 for Clone DAY 10 for B52 Interesting colors, think it's because of the cold air and maybe genetics. Began to tie down - will let her get some more vertical growth next time, but I let her loose a few days later.     Look at that pentagon of branchy goodness!

Welcome to the Mad Hatter's Tea Hour Some classic Hendrix. 2009-09-21 DAY 24 for Clone DAY 11 for B52 Had to move the seedlings into their new home, my DIY aeroponics.  Taco Bell. One of my favorites.  Surprised to find roots on this one. It doesn't even have starter leaves.  Bottom of that same mutant seedling  Look at these roots!  And here, an even different plant. The one that has been thriving all along   And their Aeroponics system:  Note, the 360 degree sprinkers that I bought got clogged by the next day. Had to switch to 90 degree sprinkers later and they trickle out only just enough with the current cheap pump it is using. So, go bigger pump, and go 90-180 degree sprinklers.   What the 360 degree sprayers look like when they work:    Floros for a day and then they'll get moved in with the big girl  And updates on my girl from that same day. Still tied down and still getting 24/7 drip irrigation with her droopy signs of overwatering. I placed the white side of panda film scraps underneath to encourage light spread. That turned out to not be a good idea only because the drip system was leaving mini puddles of standing nute water, which can lead to pests, fungi, and disease:     2009-09-22 DAY 25 for Clone DAY 12 for B52 Switched watering cycle to 4 times a day, for 15 min each time. They seemed to like that more than the 24x7 overwatering they seemed to be getting. I remember reading about "you can never overwater your hydroponics setup as long as you have sufficient drainage." That didn't seem to work for me, even when using 3 airstones.    2009-09-24 DAY 27 for Clone DAY 14 for B52  2009-09-28 DAY 31 for Clone DAY 18 for B52 She's looking good:    And each of the seedlings:     Here's the weird mutant looking one. Slow starter, prolly going to get rid of this one, we'll see.  2009-09-29 DAY 32 for Clone DAY 19 for B52 The day I found bugs... Looking good so far:   BUG EXCREMENT, found a Thripe larvae (my best guess, white with dark dots for eyes) underneath the leaf. Separated this one, then ended up getting rid of her.   2009-10-01 DAY 34 for Clone DAY 21 for B52 Pics from later that night:     Why hello there... What are you?  2009-10-02 DAY 35 for Clone DAY 22 for B52    I think that has me almost caught up with posting the pictures. I need to get updated pictures tonight/tomorrow and will post them up.

I don't think you need to put the pump on a timer for aeroponics. Since the roots have no medium to pull retained water/nutrients from, 24/7 should be fine with an airstone oxygenating the nutrient solution. You could put the pump on a timer, but you would have to read your plant to see what she's comfortable with. Then again, this is my first aeroponics attempt too, so I am not the best one to be giving advice. Only the big girl is on a timer. She's set for 15 min a day 4 times per day. I might have bumped it up to 5 a week or so ago, but I can't recall  Have you started your Bubblegum trees yet? Those sound tasty. Let me know if you get a grow journal started and I will stop by. I did not FIM the clone, but I plan on doing so with the B52. Last edited by Mad.Hatter; 10-11-2009 at 08:51 PM.. |

yeah the reason i asked bout the aero timer is theyr supposed to be on 1 min on 5 min off... but that cycle timer will set u back $80 minimum but works wonders... i had a dwc/bubbleponic diy cloner and it did ok... like 50% fail rate. i got hooked on aero reading through all of stinkbuds threads and finally sprung for the right equip. his cloner gives me 100% everytime... learned a lot from that guy.
the bbg trees are ridiculous and not really in a good way..... if not for me cutting back they would be at leat ten feet tall. i think so much that it is hurting them now. my new space, which they are moving to, kept falling through so they got much more veg than i had hoped, also set me back quite a bit.... and speaking of... im going now to rent a truck and make the move :/ **fingers crossed** |
