But he does it for the love of it man, if he wrote a book he'd go all commercial on us lol. I would definitely buy the book though, id probably buy them all just so no one else had it :lol:
"All commercial" - brings to vision nice large grow rooms and tender loving ladies needing cared for. Not too shabby... :)

Subbed(finally) wish I had come earlier...your girls are insane!
lol :) thanx scroga! I'll start a new thread shortly. New Amsterdam Gold. Miserably unhealthy due to root rot and mag deficiency..... getting back into it now, another dose of funga-rid and she'll be fine. Week 2 starts today. I'll try to get some pics tonight, she looks sad though i'll warn you!!

You're a walking encyclopedia. What you really need to do is sit down with an editor and write a book. I think you're giving away too much on Rollitup. They don't pay you.
:) Thanx Jin! I don't want to be paid, i wish i could do it for free! Give me a building and lights and a sleeping bag, and you got a happy man :) A few packs of corn chips aswell ;)

I don't think it would change much about me, only produce more product :) But i would only do it legally and provide for people who really appreciate and have the need for quality. I think i could make it sound so easy.

lol, i'll second that :) anyone seen GrowerMD on youtube?? check out his grows, unequal, amazing grows he was sponsered by cyco for a while, check him out. He sounds like a cool dude, livin my dream.

All good man!! I misunderstood, That dude is an amazing grower, he also understands the science behind the flowering side of things really well. I've yet to see a bad crop from that guy and he has helped heaps of others start up their ops.

Flowa, would like to hear your thoughts on these.....Are we looking at some SERIOUS heat issues without building a custom cooled hood??? ...Look at the specs though:)-S0uP

http://www.reptileuv.com/megaray-metal-halide-uvb.php
The hydro game is changing ;) They will provide some sort of improvement, what sort i'm not entirely sure, but any extra UVB/UVB is a good thing as long as temps are ok! The colour of the UVB/UVA globe is more of cool blue/white so not much heat will be created a mere 2-3 degree increase it that, and only because of the ceramic fittings. You want mainly UVB for added potency and resin coverage. This is the spectrum that really kicks things in to gear. Thanx for reminding me to add my UVB, still changing the air setup, i bought a new fan, yet to install it, so the one in there will be swapped to push fresh air in, and my new 10 inch fan will be my new exhaust, and new filter/scrubber combo. I gotta sort out the stench for this round, this Amster gets putrid in the last week.
My hood is pretty unique in that is has one end for the extracting fan (already installed) and the other for the globe, and long enough to accommodate 2 globes, or even the added UVB globe. I'm still deciding how to modify it, But its gonna be sik. It h=also has a sliding glass window that pulls the air in and around the globe, and some small vents at the top of the hood cool the shade. It does a great job at cooling the globe, BUT very noisy, i think the 6 inch built in fan is restrictive so i will be changing that for the inline i'm using at the moment, and just run it through ducting and pull the air out that way i'll just have to make a new inlet on the hood.

I use LED's and I'm not knocking Nything but most LED's now have UVB built into lightb spectrum.. Right?
yeah they do, you are right there, but their output is dismal at best in the UVB range, as UVB/UVA requires ALOT of energy to disperse as the spectrums are short wide wavelengths. Need to be very close, if using LED for UVB you would need the led's to be as close as 2 inches to be effective. All added up they make nice lumens for growth, but UVB is another story all together. The technology is changing though, and this could very well change. LEDs is going into a new era of technology, not to mention society in general. :) Just imagine what could happen if we used ALL THE SPECTRUMS??? could we make some sort of insane psychdelic trip erb!? cause i guarantee once tried using UVB you WILL see a difference. Vigor, Potency, appeal. Everything.

But nice input! keep your fingers crossed!! Led's could be a game changer. But so can Plasma :)

What's in Amsterdam Gold you ask?? well GOLD OFCOURSE :p I believe it originated in California!? a very quick flowering indica, high THC content FOR SURE :) almost my new favourite strain! Its VERY POTENT. Maybe too potent for daytime. I pass out EVERY time, so i'm back on the outdoor Jack at the moment lol! I got some feedback from some mates, and they are loving it :) :) One thing i noticed, it makes the bong REEEEEEEAL resined up, i'm cleaning it daily on the amster, i'm not sure if its the resin content or what but it tastes superb and smokes smooth as silk, it just makes the bong dirty quickly, anyone else noticed that with sticky ganja?

The perils of outdoor growing:




Happy 420!

Cheers,

They are some crazy looking bugz! Much different earwigs than over here!! RED HEADS!??? Faaaaaaaark look at them nippers.

They are big because they get to eat my superb citrus tree!

I remember smoking some fine Humboldt herb in a small walnut pipe and a couple of bowls into our session my my mouth was all bitter. I was so stoned I did not really register the reason until I saw my mates face and his bottom lip was black. Oil was dripping out of the end of the pipe!

I exchanged gifts on 420. Here is what I donated:





I got some killer old school Kush seeds and other goodies in exchange :)


Started working on my greenhouse. 22 feet by 38 feet (6.7 m by 11.6 m) with a ceiling that slants up from 10 feet to 12 feet (~ 4 m).



Cheers,
Mo

Sweet man, just wanted to clear that up :)

You actually seem pretty close to that dude in the vid too man, i reckon if you had a garden like his, yours would be equally perfect!

Thanx Mo! Awesome description on the oily erb dripping oil out of the pipe lol! It must have alot to do with it i suppose! I'm cleaning the bong daily its just pure filth by morning hehe! Mind you the outdoor is not much different ;) still an extreme high, but not quite as knockout as the Amsterdam Gold.

Maaaaan, i think i'm more excited about your greenhouse than you are! 4m high!? I'm almost positive you can reach that lol :)

Can't wait!!, don't hurt yourself setting things up Mo! Be careful and dream of walking through branches of weed getting hit in the face by buds 6 feet long :)

Quality. You know it ;)

Sweet man, just wanted to clear that up :)

Ha! cheerz man, i actually took a few pointers from him, but i have a very different system, but the schedule being VERY similar.
I like to have my lights a bit closer to get those MASSIVE buds ;) air cooled gives you that, i can get as close to actually bleach the buds white and still grow trichomes! Not ideal ofcourse, but it has happened before! tasted a little funny but sent me to space thats for sure. But they won't get heat damaged, even though showing similar signs. 6 inches is close to a 600 HPS but its also ideal :) Under good quality CLEAR glass, with no laminate film to block UV, i get awesome results, i've heard people say, why use glass man? it blocks the light.... well put it closer :) simple! as long as i'm careful i wont end up with shards of glass all through my crop. The difference is obvious when taking the heat out of the growing equation. I get scared if my tent gets to 30. Some setups i've seen get to 35 and beyond :0 But mine stays at a nice average of 24-28 degrees, hotter if i open the glass slider more. Closing it reduces my suction capabilities but will cool the tent to 20 degrees with the 600 HPS on. Sucking out nearly all the lamps heat. So i keep it about 3 inches open about up to the bulbs heat zone and the cool air that gets drawn in to the tent gets pulled up to the centre and into the lamps cooling hood :) Very efficient, very reliable and i think EVERY grow should have it, as its also a great safety mechanism. keeping things cooler you will have less chance of things melting or catching fire! ALWAYS IN THE BACK OF MY MIND SO I ALWAYS SETUP CAUTIOUSLY.


Mate, sounds like the shit I'm lookin for...picked up a bag in mandurah few years back...really sticky, very potent...wrapped up multiple times...couldn't hide the smell...very dark in color...where can I get mne some ag bro?
Yeah i would say getting hard to get, let alone find... Mine was kept in the family of the guy i know since about 1997 he says so its been around, and he says its had its day. But i'm not so sure, I'm going to clone this round so hopefully push a few out there to some quality growers and one breeder i know. There is more hope than most see, but i think i pulled some decent results, my mentor though thinks i should of pulled a lb for 3 weeks vegging, i'm not so sure. It was a slow start though, and this time i get my 4 weeks veg, but she's slow to take off, i slept in today, and will get some shots tonight :) she looks strange to say the least!!


I dunno if you can still get beans anywhere man, i searched just for shits and giggles and most sites said it went out years ago...
Ouch... I feel like a father to some rare babies that can't breathe normal air or something LOL!

Some silver flowa???:mrgreen: ....(Fingers crossed)-S0uP
LOL! She scares me to death when i think of seeds around her!!! I found 1 in the whole lot soo far. It stood out like dogs ballz lol. But it seems like a rare one, and a very imature small green one, nothing similar on the rest of the plant, so i dont think i should worry too much, i just dont think this girl likes heat! the more you take away the better, my mate grows this in 37 degrees and wonders why its riddled with seeds? I might have an idea :) hopefully.....
I already have seeds of this from his crops come to think of it ;) hmmmmmm keepers?

Can you please PM me the exact settings you use for you close up macro shots with our camera? I Know I need to use a tripod, because I am not stable enough to get the precise captures you manage to get!

This is all I can do for now:
