I'm not upcountry either. I'm between Augusta and Lewiston. We used to have a forum poster who's a caregiver up in that general area - mattisreal420. Not sure if he's still around here or not.

it was a thought.. turns out up north is still up north and even caregivers can't get there from here ;)

This past Tuesday I received a call from my lawyer stating that I had won my appeal concerning Long-Term Disablity Benefits !! This was a long fought process that lasted over 7 months, so the Holiday Season here will just be a little bit brighter.

The reason for this post, is that I need some help on "pulling the trigger" around the week of December 5th. I am doing a "Bubbleponics Method" and I am very interested in some Clones. I am looking (since I love it and enjoy it more) something in the Blueberry Bubblegum/ BB Laser line. Perhaps (3) of those and then I was thinking of something in the Diesel lineage to round it up. Please keep in mind that this will be my first grow (But I have studied hard and learned so very much since February), and prolly will need some online help as things progress.

I live in Central Maine, am a CardHolder, and travel at that time (weather permitting) is not an issue.

As always ... Thanks so very much for being there ... All of you are so very Awesome !! :-)

I have blue widow that I'll be chopping around that time, so I can't give a smoke report on it yet. It's a good, healthy plant though, sativa mostly. Cactus-like pheno, a lot like my Afrodite actually. I can't say it's all that blue really, but lots of trichs and strong skunk. I have high hopes for it.
Same story with my strawberry diesel, chopping in a few weeks. So you are looking for what, 3 of each? I can get some started for you as soon as the cloner is empty in a week or so.

@MaineYankee: I would strongly discourage mixing strains using DWC for your first grow. Actually, backing up a step, i'd be hesitant to do DWC with a first grow, period, unless you have a resource that you will work closely with you through the whole grow. Plants are meant to grow in dirt not water and on your first grow you want to be getting familiar with the plant itself and how it grows. If you do decide to try DWC i'd recommend that you stick with one strain - sourced from clones not seeds - so you have as few variables as possible.

You want your first run to be a success. Keeping it simple raises the likelihood of it being successful. Just my $.02 worth.

As always, thanks so very much for the advice :-)

I will take heed and go with just the one strain for the 1st grow ... Still looking as I stated with the lineage of the Blueberries ... I am seeing my Caregiver ( A real sweetie in the Portland area on Monday afternoon) to pick up some processed meds to keep me going through December. When I messaged her on FaceBook, I asked the question to her is she had some clippings in the line of meds (Primarily the Blueberries).

As for DWC ... I am all set with all of the equipment needed (made my own Bubbler, Cloner, etc.) that I have been slowly obtaining over the past several months. The only thing that I am contemplating at the moment, is do I do my 1st grow all in the closet that is all set up. ( I initially wanted to do a veg closet, and a flower cabinet, separate from each other). I know that between the wifey (who has a great green thumb) and my looking up stuff, as well as the many hands on here especially here in the "Maine Room" :-), and on RIU, I think we will stick with the DWC method (Unless the only cost would be for soil, and pots).

As always, I thank all of you for being there for us ... It is truly appreciated by us :-)

Peace and Love

oh man yield varies for me, frankly it's not being consistent with my growing techniques but usually; 1.5 week veg in a 1.5 gal put will do 1 - 1.25 oz 3 week veg ina 5 gal. she'll do anywhere from 3-5oz. but like i said it really depends on what/how your growing her too.

Oh nice. I'd heard it's a slow vegger, so that's why I asked. I've got one in soil that's at day 29 now, super nice, and took a bunch of cuttings as I run aero. I was gifted the big 4ft plant in soil. My schedule is a 3 week veg, and goal is 2.5oz per plant, so nice to hear what you're pulling. I totally realize there's loads of variables and such, but I really appreciate you letting me know what you're pulling. Thanks!

hey organicness: i'd love to see some MOB in an aeroponics grow, got any pics? I have done them in h2o and they did good, the feed lighter in water than in soil. good luck!

btw: 4 400's?

Once I'm able to put the cuttings I took off this big soil plant into the rails, I'll for sure put up some pics. They're all just about 1 week into veg right now, so 2 weeks and I'll toss 'em into a rail. And, 2 600 HPS and a 400 MH in the room. Thanks! I just started to get that rotten fruit smell in the room at 28 days flower. It's crazy. I thought for sure I left an apple core or a banana peel in there....

Well .... after a fantastic usual meeting with my CareGiver down south yesterday, she informed me that she would not have any clones for me on the 5th ... So .... I guess I will ask on here if anyone would have (1) Strain with (6) cuttings available around the 5th of December. We (wife and I) are willing to travel to meet you and pick them up, and also if you wish, pay an amount for them. This would be my first grow, so something simple but good would be great. As I stated in an earlier posting; I do like the Blueberry lineage, but would like anything in the fruit lines. Odor control is questionable, unless very subtle such as stated above ( apple core, banana peel smell ) since we live in a 4-Unit Apt. building. Thanks so very much in advance :-)
