Vert Scrog Flooded Tube Banana OG, Dog Kush 1000w
Hello everyone. My name is Jigfresh and I really enjoy growing marijuana. I also really enjoy RIU, it's where I go for many things and I want to say thanks to all of you reading this, because you are what makes RIU a cool place. I've been growing since I joined the site in early '09. Hydro has been my preferred method and Dutch Master nutes are the only ones I've used. This round I'll be growing an unknown number of plants with harvest due sometime around Dec 15. There is only room for 10 plants so it will be either 10 or less. I have some Dog Kush and Banana OG clones at the moment, and I will most likely be picking up some more plants soon. I have grown both Dog and Banana twice before and loved them both, hence the return trip.
The Dog Kush is from Breeders Boutique who sells their stuff on their own website, or on sea of seeds. It's a great yielding, easy growing, heavy hitting smoke. OG x Headband. Tastes and smells lovely. Kinda smells like dog shit, lol. Not where the name came from though. The Banana is a clone only deal. I'm sorry, I didn't make up the rules. It also yields nice and gets frosty as anything. The last batch I grew was insane. It has a really nice hybrid high, more indica leaning I guess. Smells like old banana peels.
My closet is in my bedroom. It's 2' x 3' and I use the whole height, something like 9'. I have a 30 gal rez on the floor (i never fill that high), a table to set things on and keep the grow & rez area separate, then there are 4" waste pipes wrapping around 3 walls with 2 levels. I got the idea from Heath Robinson and adapted for my little space. I have 5 plant sites per level. Last few grows I have used a 1000w hps mounted vertically in the center of the room (or close enough). It's cooled by a diy cooltube. There is a 6" 435 cfm fan mounted to the ceiling. The air goes strait out my roof into the air. Yeah... I cut a hole in my roof. Ha. One winter was bad, the rain was just pouring in. I fixed things eventually. This time I will be running the 1000w hps, and I'm thinking of running the 400w cmh at the same time. The hps on top, the cmh below.
Hmm, what else. I love scrogs. Love the control and it helps me manage a lot of plant matter in a small space. Ask me anything you want to know more about.
I will be talking about lots of things in this thread. Feel free to join in and share what's going on with you and your grow. I have met many wonderful people on here and would love to get to know you as well. So pull up a seat, be nice to the locals, and enjoy yourself.
We are going to grow some DANK!!!!!
The plants are in a conventional DWC to grow their roots out a bit for the flooded tubes. Usually I have to do this for about a week to 10 days. This round it's taken over 4 weeks and continues. I can't tell you my frustration.
Here was the plants right after I got them

And 2+ weeks later I think. They still haven't grown much. It's quite odd how much they have stayed the same.

And here is about 4 weeks later, which was 2 days ago or something.

Hey Jig!
I wonder why they arent growing this round?
I had a clone of GSC, that sat in the cup for 4 weeks and grew an extra 2". I threw her out, didnt know why she wouldnt grow.
(((HHBG)))
Thats some BS man. I have had similar issues in the past and always chalked it up to root damage. I have a pre 98 bubba doing the same thing right now. 6 weeks old and not even 2 inches.
It's crazy man, I never would have even guessed it possible. Apparently my buddy who I got them from is experiencing the same thing, but I still don't get it. One at least is spitting roots like I'm used to. There are 3 others that have some roots showing.
I'm off to bed, thanks for checking things out guys. Good to have you both back around.
It's the Fucking Chem-trails man!!!! lol Nighty Night.
maybe you have discovered a new disease similar to the one that nearly wiped out the Wine industry in the old world growing regions...it was called Phylloxera vastarix (had nothing to do with Asterix and Obelix btw!). These little bugs laid their young in the leaves of the plant. They would hatch, and each young bug could then lay hundreds of eggs for the next round. The leaves fall off and grow back. Plant fruits. The following year the plants production would reduce, with finally in the 3rd year the plant would basically die off at the root. This was a 3 year long cycle of killing. A very efficient bug.
The only way the old world wine was saved was that they brought roots from over in the US to Europe and grafted the European vines onto the American vine roots. So in essence, you could say that the US (along with the other Allies of course), saved France in the WWII and also saved it's Wine industry in the 1800's. Although if you look deeper, the French accuse a wine producer in France of working with US wine makers and importing Vines from the US back to France which they think was the initial cause of the outbreak (it was the same wine producer that came up with the grafting technique that save the industry as well).
I think the only wine producing area that does not have US roots is in Sicily, or some other Island. I'll clarify that. (it was Cyprus btw!!!)
Anyway, if you need some roots, let me know? lol.

Good luck.
Just to clarify, did you say the room was 2ft x 3 ft?
Sounds awful tight for a 1000w.
Everything written on here is a figment of my over-active imagination caused by mental health problems due to low THC levels in my brain. All pictures are posted by a mysterious stranger who hacks into my PC when I'm not looking. I'm not even sure I am real.
Sub'd up jig. I am sure you will figure it out. If not I can always get you some MD clippings. I got a mom vegging. I posted pics of her on the 600.
Peace
