Gypsy's Picture Depot

Yo GB.

Man, a 6' x 6' scrog would be... out of control.

I'm way stoked to see you take that mother plant and turn it into a tree. Obviously nobody better to help you through that than blaze.

So I'm pretty much planning on going for a mini-sog setup, ebb-n-flow, based off Al B's system, much like yours, but much more like Dewey's. I am excited!

And oh yeah, the reason I'll be in AK is to visit my parents. Haven't been back since I moved away at the age of 4!

You driving up? Bring that big TV!!!

And congrats on reaching a decision...

And even more props for deciding to follow Dewey...

Not only is his op a GEM...

The dude himself is a gentleman... I have MUCH respect for Dewey's knowledge and the way he holds himself...

I wish you the BEST of luck and you know we're all here to help each other...

If you copy EVERYTHING Dewey did... you will be kicking ass and taking names in no time...

Have you decided on a strain?

lol No, the folks live on an island in the far south of AK... only way to get there is via plane or ferry from Seattle. I suppose I could just throw the damn thing over my shoulder, take it as a carry-on. Only weighs like as much as I do .

Yes I enjoy Dewey's thread quite a bit. And I sort of knew I wanted his setup as soon as I saw it. And I do plan on copying as much as possible.

Ah, the strain... no, I guess I havent. Have some ideas I've been kicking around. I really kinda want something thats gonna turn out purple. Good genetics and reputable breeder obviously important. Any suggestions that fit that bill? Some of my ideas include Blue Moonshine, Purple Wreck, Shiva Skunk, a few others.

Right ON!!! enjoy Southeast AK!!!

go kayaking if you can...

even if you have never been!!

even if your 90 years old... go with someone on a double...

It will be an experience of a lifetime, I guarantee it...

As for genetics...

I am so ignorant... I know nothing...

I couldn't even name you a seed bank... to save my life...

Never been on their websites... just never really looked into it at all...

And that is one of the reasons I find it so ironic tha I end up with a rare strain...

I'm like the dumbass that has a GEM as a door stopper...

I had never even heard of her until I posted here and people started telling all about her...

I guess C99 is just a really stable, fast floowering strain...

She is far from purple, but from how fast she fills in to the smell of the bud on the plant.. and the high from the few little tasters....(premature, MW oven dryed bud never tastes GOOD...)

I gotta say that if you can find the beans or clones, GET HER...

But other than that..

The Juicy Fruit is DELICIOUS but I have not gotten a good yield from her, yet...

the WW are still unsexed.. so... can;t recommend that...

and the other 4 strains I have are all bagseed...

Sorry Bro.. by default I can only recommend something that does not match your description and is almost impossible to get...

fucking gypsies...

Oh yeah dude I would LOVE to grow that c99. Flowering in 6-7 weeks? Is is true? Yeah I've heard it being called the "holy grail" of MJ strains. One of its parents was the Shiva Skunk I was thinking of growing, actually.

So... what do we think of this strain I recently discovered from High-Bred seeds?

Purple Cindy

Purple Cindy is a very potent cross between Purple Oregon Thai and Cinderella 99. Purple Thai is a first generation land-race Chocolate Thai crossed once with a first generation land-race Highland Oaxaca Gold. Cinderella 99 or "C99" is a potent cross between Jack Herer and ShivaSkunk. Purple Cindy is a merging of these fine genetics. This unique cross has a wonderful fruity aroma reminiscent of a sweet pineapple/mango garden. The high is complex beginning with a strong psychedelic buzz that jettisons you to the stratosphere followed by a euphoric state of heightened creativity and finally an equally long state of peace & contentment. Great yielder for a sativa! Can develop purple hues in late flowering. Great strain for creative endeavours! A HIGHGRADE SEEDS exclusive.

And yes I would love to try kayaking! I know I'll be going on many a fishing trip with the old man. The view from the deck of their house is unbelievable. I'll post a pic tomorrow if I can dig one up so you can see what I'll be enjoying

You are so weird Gypsy

Hope things are going well.

Glad to see you around these parts...

Watch your step though... there's a lot of crap on the floor...:lo:

Things are good...

SOG is boring...

I have been to the op 5 times and still can't find anything to do...

I'm bored...

How's you???

So here's the 3 girls I have to choose from for this tree attempt..

They are all of the same Sativa strain...

This DNA comes from the same clone as my first AG grow...

It's the one that's been kicked around ops in AK for generations now... but I do not know it's name...

Anyways..

here they are...

I think I'm liking #2...

She's about 36" from pot up right now...

I'm thinking I could splay her out to about a 3' diameter... and around 12" high...

Prolly work pretty good under a 600hps...

#1 got sum dense foliage!! shiiiit...shell go crazy under 600 hps!LOL

#2 gets my vote. nice and thick main branching.

I bet 75% if not more of the leaves will be prunned...

MBlaze's style is actually very similar to what I do to my clones...

Each small little branch of his tree is like one of my clones.... Just the tops...

Click to expand...

Yeah... I also like it cause it;s the most symmetrical...

She would spread nicely...

We'll see what MBlaze says... he IS the final authority on this project...

.....you mean ......bugs don't have awthorataw anymore?.......

GypsY!! Thanks for that detailed reply, and glad to see you have 3 beautiful specimens to choose from for this experiment. I was thinking since you are going to try to replicate what M Blaze has done, that I would try that 6'X6' scrog instead, just to mix things up. I am not sure if you have seen "Someguy"s parabolic scrog or not, but he bends the screen upwards the farther from the center of the light it gets to adjust for lumens being lost in the corners. Anyway, the 400 watters were essentially thrown in a nice package a friend gave me. I have pics of everything in my journal.

I have my 1000HPS on my 2 plant scrog now that is only 8 days into flower.. (It was 3 plants, but I thought I would run out of room so I pulled one of them before the 12/12 switch) I was thinking about letting the current scrog finish and in the meantime work on training the other for the 6X6 screen. Do you think I should try the parabolic screen with the 1000, or keep it flat and use a multiple 400 setup. I am new to HID lighting but see the benefits of multiple lower wattage bulbs as a real plus! Light mover no good if using 1000watter cuz it is supposed to do a 6X6 anyway? I know that is a barrage of questions, but that when you give great answers there are bound to be more questions. Cheers mate!!

Not on this one Bugs...

I have my principles...

I am sure you have read my signature... same is true for the trees...

Scrogs are nice...

And I have seen the grow you speak of...

I believe in someguy's parabolic...

Any time you can add a vertical component to your grow, you will be better off... I think...

I'd like to see that..

Hard to say...

Depends on the set up... and I have never done a scrog...

But I will say that 1k will give you buds that 3x 400 will not...

I am new to HID lighting but see the benefits of multiple lower wattage bulbs as a real plus!

Click to expand...

I see the benefit of KICK ASS LIGHT INTENSITY...

A 1k has much much more INTESITY of light than a 400...

Think of it like this....

What hurts more... a bunch of little punches or one BIG one...?

Light mover no good if using 1000watter cuz it is supposed to do a 6X6 anyway?

Click to expand...

I use aircooled 600s, but I keep my light really close to the tops... some even touch the glass, with no issues...

I've never used a 1k... but it should do 6x6.. or a more intense 5x5 if you can manage the heat...

I do 4x4 per 600...

But I tell you, we want intense light... and 1k will beat a 400 any day...

But you are right... you would get a better distribution (of weaker light) from multiple lower wattage bulbs...

I know that is a barrage of questions, but that when you give great answers there are bound to be more questions. Cheers mate!!

I'm fading... I hope I answered everything ok...

Bugs is here.. he knows this shit... he can correct me... I am really tired right now...

C-99 Is a grower's dream come true.

A 'holy grail' if you want to call it that.

Sativa with the flowering period and yield of an indica while retaining almost all other sativa qualities in reference to the smoking experience.

That purple cindy definitely HAS cindy in her, but it is not cindy.

I would hesitate to grow anything that owes its heritage to orgeon purple thai in it because that plant comes from a lineage of plants with ugly deformities, mutations and hermaphroditism (DJ has gotten rid of most of the herms though). Which explains why alot of DJ's stuff looks so unique.

He knows what he is doing no doubt, but IDK about his parent selection choices. He places a little bit too much emphasis on the final product than healthy growth IMO.

Thanks Gypsy, get some rest bro.. we have plenty of time to discuss all of the details, and I appreciate all of your input.. I am looking for a way to cool my 1000watter. Just not sure If I can do it with the current reflectors I have. They are in my journal so check it out when u get the time. In the mean time I am going to start thinking about this massive 1 plant SCROG

I grow for the buds... not the growth...

So although I don't even know who this guys is you are talking about, it sounds to me like he is on the right track...

Emphasis on bud production... right? isn't that why we grow?

Love the analogy about a bunch of little punches VS. a big one. I would def rather be hit a bunch of times by my g/f than 1 time punch from Mike Tyson and his half tatted face

Funny I was gonna compare little girls vs Tyson...

But yeah...

For our practical purposes...

2x 400 is not equal to 800

2x 400 is equal to 400 x2
