Humboldt's Growing Adventures! Up & Away!

Kick ass Humbolt!! Those girls lookin good. I am putting together a cfl setup similar to yours, I bought 12 23 watt cfl's off ebay for $4.99. I am a welder so I have access to all the material I want and I am gonna throw a hood together for all 12 of those cfl's out of polished aluminum. I heard that fluro's make fluffy bud, how are yours? They look pretty solid from here! I know you prob mentioned this somewhere in here but how many lumens do you have with all those cfl's? And what color were they? I should have a lil under 20,000 lumens with mine, they are 2700K. If my cfl's will do what yours did, well I will be as happy as you are about to be!.

I'm sorry Lacy how could I be soo selfish, If I knew how to put the images in thumbnails I could do that so people can click on them if they want to view them full size, I was thinking adding big enough images so people wouldn't have to strain to see them while not stretching out my screen, I wasn't thinking about anybody elses connection or resolution.. I'm Bad!

Anybody have any suggestions on how I can ad images as thumbnails?



GOTCHA!!, LMAO, is that all wally word is .. is another way of saying walmart? how funny, so our gauges are probably the same, definitely starting another journal after these three girls are harvested, this journal has gotten pretty busy, I have four more girls in flower that I would like to keep you all posted, I think it will be interesting being I'm going to be using a lot less lighting....



Thanks Rocky but this aint no Mcdonalds



Nice to see ya again so soon chiceh, two weeks you think eh, I figure more like three weeks to a month longer, however in about a week I'm going to be chopping a few of the more mature buds for xmas, I figured that will give them over a week for somewhat of a decent dry. the grow box does dry them pretty fast like two days for me then they are dry enough to cut up and put in sealed containers, I'm actually trying a few different methods to dry/cure in hopes I will find the right one..



Thanks tahoe, a journal wouldn't be much of a journal without pics but I may start putting thumbnails in if I can figure it out, I know it can be done because I've seen it..... I would now like to continue this journal out user friendly as possible also addition journals..



Most definitely jomal as that's about all I can do, keep coming back it works!



LoveIt, there you are, yeah the fixtures are pretty steady they aint moving no wheres unless I move them, also I'm noticing the cactus look on some of my colas somewhat like yours, what strain is yours again and do you know if that is normal?

Please see images bellow..



GOTCHA! masta, I was actually thinking of you when I though of doing it, glad it worked on a couple of yas....



Can you make me a hood as well hutch The buds are pretty solid, as described earlier to the touch it feels as hard as a pine cone, very tight buds however looks like they are having trouble filling in, they appear to be growing in clusters that's what I think people are referring to when they say fluffy or airy buds, the branches just don't fill in as it would with an hps, I think I'll be lucky to get a solid cola..

I have around 48000 lumens, please visit the following link for the math, however I did remove the bottom lights as I don't think they were doing anything also I needed more light for the other girls...

Minus five 23w at 1600 lumens a piece, please do the math.


I forgot to ad in my last post that yesterday I started giving the girls three tea spoons of tiger bloom (recommended dosage) to one spoon of molasses.


Some growth I've noticed and I don't know if this is normal or not.

The arrows show the cactus like matter protruding from the cola, I'm wondering if it will eventually fill in or keep continuing to grow in patches, the cola is already pretty fat it would be nice if this will make it even fatter..

Some more angles,

What does it look like to you, are you familiar with this type of growth? if so please advise...


Until Next Time!


PS: Please visit the following link and show a brother some support, hocs got some nice tall looking sativa type ladies in flower.. for he don't feel so all alone .. everybody must get stoned and head on over to hocs place...

Its NORMAL!

looking insane man

hey Hum....looking really good as always....for the thumbnail....go to the reply button instead pf the quick reply - or after quick reply go advanced, and then there is a paperclip that allows you to "attach" photos....that makes them come out as thumbnails. good luck. and grow on man!

Aaah the fruits of your labour. That must smell sooo good.

Yeahhh, those budshots are always so good Humboldt! i think that new growth on the bud is normal, wud be great if it all filled in, then u cud use it to hit people with.
Jolly

Ya man i could make you a hood! I wont have as much light as you do right now but I will prob just use them for veg then hps! If your serious about the hood I will send ya some pics of mine when its done then you can decide! Thanx bro!

juss checkin in... lookin badass man... u will def have a nice xmas smoke! i think that growth is normal, it looks like they juss fillin in. delicious!

o ya lol hopefully i will get some love now ! lol thanks

the new growth on the buds is normal...might just be the second or third wave of flowering.keep up the good work...i know it says somewhere but how many clf's do you have in total.im planning on using 10 for 1 plant is that overkill?

DAMN looking at your latest pics, Im really excited to get my grow started..
Im maybe a week or so from sprouting some seeds, and getting my grow on..
These 75 watter CFls I got are monsters, like 3 or 4 times bigger then the 23's...
Im hoping that 6 should get me 4-6 plants or so..

Really only thing Im really lacking is access to supreme nutes..
Hope I can make due some how.. However I think it going to be a trial and error process, of soil mixes, and nute ratios..
You keep up the great updates man, Im proud, and Im sure you are as well..

Thanks waffle,


Thanks wutter, appreciated!


Thanks tahoe, I do know about them attached files however there is a storage limit, with as many images that I post the storage would get full real quick, I don't want to have to go through and empty out my attached files .. can get time consuming also I hate when I go through a journal and all I get are lil red x's ( dead images) due to deleted images out of storage or host no longer hosting them.. I think images are very important in a journal and if they disappear then in my opinion that journal is pretty much worthless..


Fruits is right and the best damn labor ever, thanks for visiting spliff, speaking of the smell, I haven't really noticed it myself but my brother and sister in law showed up today and the first words out of their mouths were "smells like pot" I said to my self "oh shit if they are able to notice then anybody who shall knock on my door should"

I went out today for a bit of time and when I came home I could smell what my relatives were smelling, stinking pretty bad so I'm having to think about odor control, bummer because I really enjoy the smell and didn't really notice how bad it was until I had left for awhile and came home...

Any thoughts on odor control?


LOL brotherjolly like one of them clubs with bunch of spikes poking out, does kind of remind me of them but reminds more like cactus, or like little dreadlocks.. strange.


Thanks hutch very cool to accept however I was joking for the most part, didn't really think you'd take me seriously, I'm reluctant to hand out my address but would love to see the hood when you are finished, please do post images...


Thanks for checking in hoc also for the input on the growth, I think I'm now satisfied that it is a normal situation and anxious to see what becomes of it, xmas smoke indeed, check out updates bellow...

Welcome back hoc, no problem, I hope people will decide to come check you out, in better hopes .. visit hocs journal and show some love, he's got some real nice looking girls in flower and would be nice to see some familiar names, it's getting old with just him and I also the occasional drifter...

Come on over to hocs Place

Thanks madcow, learn something new every day, actually more like learn a lot of new stuff everyday, waves as you call it, how many waves usually occur before it's ready to harvest?

I just posted that day before yesterday, actually yesterday .. early this morning .. I think! not to be a smart ass or anything, because I do not mind answering questions repeatedly but when something was recently posted and on the previous page, it's kind of odd to me, just a tip but what I do when I visit and post in someones journal and if I do not post in some time, in most cases I will go back to my last post to try and catch up, I know asking the question is much easier but I would recommend going back a page or two before asking any questions...

Please do not take my reply in spite!


Hey there joeblow, thanks and when you do start your grow, think about starting a journal as well and throw us the link, good luck to you and your grow, if you ever need anything feel free to use the PM option, this goes for everybody..




Ok here is what I've been waiting to show & tell, remember the mediocre trimmings from the other day? well she is the BEST! I had a chance to taste both bushy and mediocre, both are obviously immature as hell but still got a very good idea of what to expect specially with mediocre, if I had to rate bushy and mediocre on a scale of one to ten I would give bushy 7 - 8 and have no problems giving mediocre a 10, honestly .. I could pull them today and be perfectly happy with the yield, however I'm not all stupid, I will wait..


Can you guess who is who?

Mediocre or bushy?

Bushy or mediocre?

Do not look at image names.lol.. first person gets it right, gets forth class tickets to Humboldt County for a one week stay, roof over head accommodations... but may tie up and keep hostage, will put to work manicuring...

Another honest moment, I am happy with the results of these cfls and quite frankly I don't know if I'll be in a hurry to get an hps, also I kind of fear the fact of having to learn or determine height of light, heat issues etc.. if I can keep getting results like this by golly I may stick with them for along while.



Until Next Time!

They small but soooo delicious looking.

hey Hum....I was goona try and guess, and then you gave it away...ahahahaha.....look sweet...glad things wored out so well. It'll be cool once you are able to bring in the entire harvest. you've worked hard and got some good results. what's next?

some great looking dark greens there. Looks like it will get the job done im sure enjoy

hey thats a real cool setup, i was at a loss of what to do, hps, cfl, of leds, but i think now i'm gonna be doing a cfl setup, well thats if i cand find cfls in this dumb place..

Humbolt my brother, u gonna be medicating i no time , i have great news, i just said fuck it and went ahead and bought a BCNL bloombox, i'm so thrilled, i found it used but at a good price, i already pay for it, its in Fl in a friends house the shipping company is pickin it up tomorrow, so its gonna be here in 3 to 4 weeks, so by the time i have my new place ready im gonna have my bloombox set up, its the best way to go for me, do to the lack of supplies i have here in this island, and not to much worries with this box,
i'm gonna start 4 mothers right away so i can take clones by the time the machine is here. peace bro

very nice. i think those little buds could use a little trimming, but those dry leaves do make for good filler. haha.

can't wait to see those mature buds.

Last pic = bushy................
