Man that root ball is insane bro!!! You def maxed that girl out with the long veg and flowering. No more use for that pot sox lol I didn't get a root ball like that with my girl but she was from seed and I didn't veg as long as you did but whatever I run in that system again will be from clone so should do very well. Want to get that system going but with the heat I cant unless I get a chiller to keep water at right temps or it wont be good. Soon as I get back on my feet i'll spend some money for some things that are needed badly.

I know the Mrs doesn't like you spending money on the hobby but your gonna have to if you want to grow. The money I spend on supplies and stuff is nothing compared to the amount that I would spend if I didn't grow it for myself so that's why my Mrs doesn't say anything. I smoke like a train so I would go broke trying to buy lol. Electricity and supplies is all I have to pay for and the amount I get from it is well worth the amount I'm putting in doesn't compare to what I would spend buying. I need to get my stash up like you Nerd lol
Yeah brother i am a weed whore bit its because a lot of my old crew i don't hang out with and they were all big smokers so now it's just smoke and a mate and he doesn't smoke much as he works away like me and we get piss tested a lot so can't smoke much yeah i knew the root ball would be insane but i didn't think it would be like that :D

I need to keep a eye on the new girls i am getting a lot of green shit on the perlite i need to flush away its ugly didn't get that last time but i was only watering when lights were off so that might be why

I think thats why my missus turns a blind eye to me growing as if i didn't i would be spending a lot more on buying it and so long as i am the one working and paying the bills on time then there is nothing to really complain about

Yea I'll get my stash built up damn good from here on out. Some people I give out to will have to wait a good while till at least the next harvest after the one coming up as I know how fast my stuff goes when giving it away. I don't mind giving any away but I put everything into this so I gotta take care me first while still helping others. Once I get this this cycle going it will be nothing. I'll prolly have a lot of plants that I don't veg that long and flower those while I flower the big ones so I can have something always being harvested maybe a couple 1gals.

Don't trip over the green stuff on perlite its algae its growing cus of the light shining on the wet perlite. Once they get big enough to shadow over the perlite it wont grow anymore but next time get something to cover the top of the pots like black trash bag.

Yea its nothing that can be really said when you take care of all the responsibilities like your supposed to so you have the right to do what you want with your money but they realize how much it means to use and we could be doing something much worse like messing with other women. Mines still gets jealous of the time I spend with the plants but she doesn't understand that if I don't she wont be smoking either so she calms down after thinking about it but still complains lol. I just tune it out

Yea I do lol tell them how good they look. How much they've grown lol always telling them I cant wait to see them turn into the beautiful lady I know they can be lol. By next year I should have everything setup the way I want that way I'll have computer and tv in there and can just chill in there and don't have to leave. Mrs will prolly hate it but oh well :lol:

Veg Tent (1) Blue Dream

Okay things are going well the plants are healthy they have not been growing very much under the 250 cfl was kind of a waste of time using it only loaned it off my brother so ill give it back to him she is now under a 600 Watt Metal Halide so give her another 2 weeks and she will double in size if not more as the root system has now reached the watering rings so hand feeding is no longer needed watering time is set to water every 6 hours so 4 times a day

in other news once the Russian is done with hanger and tent is clean ill be moving the next 4 blue dreams in they will be under a 400 watt metal halide or a 600 hps just depends how the temps go

I am a little worried about the root system anyone who says canna rhizotonic is full of shit and is no good is smoking crack! that shit works and it works well
Not only did it fill the outer pot but i have never seen a pot sox covered like that before this now i know why this girl was so huge! bigger the roots bigger the fruits they don't lie made a damn hawk nest roots look a little brown but they haven't been watered in 5 days :)

Everything is looking good bro. I'm sure that 250w cfl wasn't strong enough for all those plants. Maybe one but not four. I'm really looking forward to seeing that Blue Dream run how long will you veg for?

The root mass on the Russian beast is crazy. With the long veg time and the use of that Rhizo from Canna really maxed the pot out. Def lived by more roots more fruits. I think my run didn't max out like that as I wasn't using anything like rhizo. I know Cyco has a product like that but never used it. I'm thinking it may be the way to go when I do get that run going. You kill with Canna bro so I would stick with it no sense of fixing something that aint broke. Look forward to seeing the Blue Dream run and hopefully some SinCity gear soon. I def wanna see you run a SinCity strain in that system

Hey bro yeah i only put it up before i left for work and been to lazy to change it out but now that should really kick off hoping to only veg them for 2 weeks maybe 3 max don't want the roots to go nuts like last time don't get me wrong i want a good root system but last time was a bit out of control :D yeah i see cyco as a rhizo now and your right i am better off just sticking with Canna as its all i have used and i got it dialed in now changing up would be a little silly but i still might on the next run just for something new

SinCity Seeds will be dropped soon i was going to do it the other day but got lazy to fill a water cup with water and drop them in haha but ill get it done soon looking forward to trying some blue power looks like a great strain had to move my seedlings under the light more as they started to stretch and i really need to clean out the tent and get the coco tent set up as they are getting root bound in there small pots so might be stunted for a couple of days after transplant but ill smash them with rhizo and they will be fine :)

I find veg so boring in a week i should be able to do some full LST and then a week of growth after that should be all good i need to flush tonight and get a fresh mix going bad thing about using a 100 liter res is that's 400ml of rhizo...... lucky i got 5 liters anyway bro ill keep things update bongsmilie

You killed it bro fareal all the big huge buds. I can't wait to harvest something like that again. What do you cure in bro? Since you got such a a big amount
I just use a large air tight. Container and open it every day for a few days till its at the curing level temp and can be packed away never had trouble doing it this way long as you keep it in a dark place it's all good and the tubs don't let any smell out its great
