Well i ill get sum pics,, gizza minit,, brb
HERE IT IS,, as u can see i stil gota remove the drives and light proof it and add the extra wattage,,
i was thinkin of getin a sodium 70w ,
mounting it at the very top,, place a glass sheet under it, and fix it in place then silocen around the edges so the heat from the bulb dosent pass threw to the plant ,then at 1 end of the bulb ill have a small pc fan intaking air and at the other end have an identical pc fan exhausting ,, like a mini cool tube in a ps (mental) ill also have an exhaust and intake fan in the bottom where the plant will live,,

wot do u think? looks big enough to bud 1 lst'd clone,,

startin 12/12 soon as pc is finished

where can i buy just a big empty pc tower ,, or 1 as big as u got?

:peace:

Herb.. nice work. Gotta get the drive cage out. Drill should do the trick! ;) Check v12xjs grow. He rigged a high watt CFL kinda cool tube in his pc. 150 or 200 or something. I'm hoping for a 200 at some point, too.

As far as getting a tall case, look online for a used server tower. Or just a used server. I'm pissed.. I had an old HP server that was just gargantuan and rid myself of it about 2 years ago. ARGH!

I got a new toy! :) Supposed wonderful Indica bagseed clone from a friend. I have yet to smoke it, but I had space in the case and this dude's done me good for years. I'm giving it a go. Plan is to get it settled and LST it, then clone asap.

pic1's boring veg., but new toy's in the front.
Beatrice, Christy, Jenna.

SO.. anyone.. the brown / purple leaf? I treated for Calcium / Magnesium, on suggestion from the hydro shop.

I got a case that is 2 feet but that plant looks horrible.
MY PLANT? MINE IS SWEEET,
ILL AV A LOOK ABOUT FOR A SERVER TOWER,, WHY IT CALLED A SERVER TOWER? IS IT TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO A NORMAL TOWER?:peace:

AND IVE GOT SPARE 125/200 AND A 250W CFL BUT I USE THE REAL DEAL ENVIROLITES AND THEY ARE LONGER THAN THE TOWER,,LOL,, I JUST THAUT A 70W HPS WOULD FIT AND TAKE LESS SPACE THAN A BIG CFL.. 70W HPS IS ONLY LIKE 2INCH WIDE,, LIKE AS THIN AS 1 DISK DRIVE,,
ILL GET THE DRIVE GAGE OUT . ILL TAKE THE FRONT OFF THEN JUST WIZZ THE RIVVETS OFF WITH A SMALL PRECISION GRINDER OR SUMMT,, I NEED TO GET HOLD OV A FEW MORE PC FANS AS MINE ONLY HAD 2 IN IT..
1 4INCH AND 1 2INCH,,

i think ill fim the clone then tie the 4 stems is a circle pattern around the pot,, the strain in the pc grow is like 23%thc .mmmmm sedative qualities are great to,,

Hey ER
I got that same look on some leaves with Pandora. I put it down to what I fed her. If I get a few minutes later I'll check what the composition of the food was and let you know.

Hey ER.
Had a look at the food I used when Pandora went like that. Food was the only thing I changed so I have to put it down to that. I normally feed an N-P-K-Mg of 4 - 8 - 7 - 2 but I gave her 2 - 45 - 28 - 1 for 2 feeds and the plant looked like that on a few leaves the next day.
Are you on extra bloom enhancers as well as nutes maybe?
Just from the numbers it could be N / P overdose on mine. Also there's calcium in the normal mix but not in the dodgy formula, so maybe a calcium def?
Forgot to mention that the plants look great otherwise ;)

Thanks, v. I'm trying the calcium, now. Unfortunately, it seems to be spreading a little, so I gotta figure this out. :(

In addition, Christy has some almost bronze look on her middle fan leaves. ARGH!

Mother's day.. I took a clone last night and one this morning. The clone last night was my 'leave in the rooting hormone' test. Boy, that failed. It looked like it completely sucked the life out of the plant. The firmness was completely gone from the stem, the leaves looked like they'd been steamed. REALLY strange. Like it sucked the plant out using the stem as a straw or something. SO clone today was dipped for20 seconds, swished and plopped in my organic potting soil. I, then, trimmed the fan leaves, as I read that it's easier for the plant to produce roots when it has less green to support. Here's to hoping!

I had also talked to my buddy that gave the clone. he said 30 mins in water before hitting the rooting hormone.. powder, gel or liquid.

My prep felt good this time. I sliced off my 4 node sides and made my 45 degree cut, dd a FAST scrape on the long side of the cut, and in the hormone. 20 seconds, then in the moist dirt.

I will get this.

After a bit of reading I think my problem was a calcium def caused by too much P. As your leaves also don't look like the classic calcium def shown on the icmag sick plant thread, I'm guessing your problem may be the same. Maybe treat by reducing P rather than increasing calcium. I accidentally did that and it worked. I didn't get my sick leaves repaired but it didn't spread any further.
Check the first paragraph here:

Thanks, V. I'm doing a bit of both on that. I'm feeding Advanced Nutrients SensiCal Mg Formula. It's very light, so mostly water for this baby. It looks like the spots that had spread up a touch are regressing, as well. Here's to hoping that works good.

Other news, my new clone got trained down and I snapped her fuckin' stalk! AGH! It's still on just fine and will hopefully repair like a supercrop. Just strange to see such an angular bend. I gotta clone that fucker and bloom it asap, since it is not really set up for micro-grow. It's cloned for closet. All tall and shit. :)

On the clone front, my Mother's Day clone is SOOO0000ooooooo wilty. It looks tired as hell and "drained" like the other one was. I looked on the back of the cloning gel again and I goofed on the time a clone can be in the gel. It's 5-15 seconds. I'll do 5 seconds on the next clipping.

Both boxes are at max capacity. I gotta get that fuckin' big Citral out. As soon as I get a viable clone, it's out somehow. I may tear it out and cut back the rootball to toss in a cup before I flower it. Damn, I'm mean to my plants, eh?!

Flower Tower:
Beatrice: 66 days, 12/12 45 days, flowering 28 days
Jenna: 12/12 from seed, 43 days, flowering 11 days
Christy: 12/12 from seed, 43 days, flowering 4 days.

Veg. Box:
Citral #1: 18/6 or 24/0, 66 days
Citral #2: cloned, 18/6 2 days
Twilight #1: 24/0, 9 days
Passion #1 #1: 24/0, 8 days
Zenbud: rooted clone, 4 days

OK.. the girls are the girls. I am starting to wonder if that purple leaf on Beatrice is genetic. It's, now, VERY purple. She's Indica in deep-ish flower and I see the temps in there at 70 fairly frequently. I know that sometimes indicas go purple in cold. The leaf doesn't feel any different than the green ones and the purple seems to be spreading up, now. The leaf isn't visibly damaged, either, aside from a little bit of tip burn. I flushed the hell out of her last night, just in case, and may do it again today.

Christy is getting massive, so I tied her ass down even tighter. Also, she's got hairs sprouting everywhere. If I untied Beatrice and Christy, Christy would already be taller. I think this plant will do well, as long as I don't fuck it up.

Jenna is tiny, but coming along. :)

In the veg. case, my Citral clone is beginning to stiffen up at the stalk.. maybe it'll bounce back. Also, the Zenbud clone is looking happy as hell even with the snapped stalk! :) The Twilight and Passion #1 are both VERY thirsty and getting big quick. The big Citral is just big.. and a bit of a pain in my ass. I need clones to take off quickly.

Other stuff.. I have a nice guerilla spot for the Auto Hindu Kush and the Auto White Russians in case3 at my buddy's house are 4/6 above ground, so that's moving along.

Strains I want for the pc: Amnesia Lemon, LSD, G13 Haze, Crimea Blue. I love Barney's Farm! Why? 2 of those are small Sativas! The LSD sounds just devestating!

Sounds awesome in there ER.
I did tell you it would get a bit cramped :)
Just got a tip for you with the ties. Keep an eye on the bud formation and take them out before the buds grow around them. The plant will stay pretty much in shape now.

I was wondering about that. Beatrice has training wire up in the buds and she didn't really move all that much when I yanked the other 2 wires. It's not too late to get those out, as I still have a couple millimeters. :) Man.. she's gonna be one solid ass bud. The thing that shocks me is that I'm pretty sure she's at halfway! Gonna be a monster nugget.
