Funny you say that, the one I kept, PS#4 started to take off too, I thought it was a Pineapple Express until I checked the label. I think I'm going to grow this one straight up, no topping, lst, super crop, nothing. I won't have room for it until later in May, hopefully it gets pretty tall. The previous one's all stayed short

What are you gonna do with that one?



I'm gonna have to hold off on taking in any plants right now, a friend who grows got a notice and has to move soon so I might be adopting some of his seedlings and teens, maybe even a mother depending on how much space I have. Only until he can move and get his grow up and running again (I hope) If not, guess I'll need to look into getting a second DR120....lol

He's a Welsh Pembroke Corgi

I think you're right about letting them mate young but when I asked my vet I asked when was the "best" time to let your dog breed and he had said 2 years. The thing is AKC dogs (IMO) are like good weed genetics, there are good breeders and shitty breeders. I think the point of letting the dog mature to 2 years old is to show how "big" or healthy he is, some pure breeds have certain genetic health issues so it's important to let them mature to see if they show any signs of bad genes.

My next dog will be a rottweiler :D Had one for 11 years and I miss her all the time
ah yes, i didnt even think of some of the stuff you said, i get letting them get old enough so you can see what they look like and build and what not to see if it is good genes. and yes i agree with theri are alot of shitty breeders and very few great breeders. i know alot of pitbulls in cali are very poorly bred along with alot of places in the US. they like to in-breed them and they come out all weird and oddly shaped, but i guess alot of folks like that down theri. i cant really stand backyard breeders these days cuz they just dont know what they are doing. i would never breed unless i was just making pups for my self or it was my job so i would be professional about it all.
my dog did accidently in pregnant my other dog awhile ago but we made sure they all got very good homes.
i never even heard of the type of dog you have but am interested in it so i will look it up, i think ive seen him in a few of your pics though.

and i had a few rotts when i was about 11 and loved them to death but they are alot of work, after about 5 years of age you really got to watch theri hips and joints cuz they are prones to those probs.

i would like a bunch of dogs and some day might own one of each.
heres what breeds are on my list and i would want them all pure breds. these are in order from what i want the most to least.

Akita.
Dojo.
Alaskan husky.
timber wolf.
German Shepperd.
Pitbull. ( i will always have one of these no matter what, it is by far my favorite breed)
Bull terrier.

theri is a few others i want but these are my top.

haha, some of those dogs wouldn't do too well in the warm weather here in SoCal :D

Pit bulls are misunderstood, ever watch that show Pit Boss?

Any pics bro? How is your Casey Jones? Have you smoked it before? Is it anything like Jack?
I'll take some as soon as the NP strip fumes ventilate, I'm running 3 total now, 2 in the flower room and one in the veg room during lights off, M - F

I love smoking CJ, only smoked it once from a collective in OB. The high, IMO, is a lot like Jack but a little more intense, it's more of a limey green color if I remember right, made my mouth water :weed: I super cropped CJ#2, my experimental one and I'm leaving CJ#1 alone, gonna transplant her as soon as I harvest PS#2 and Delilah #5 so I can start PE#5 and #6 and make room for a CJ and Sour OG to veg in 2 gallon pots


Ended up transplanting PE#8 and a BK98 into soil last night, both don't look too good...hopefully they recover. There are 7 open spots in my cloner now but haven't decided what to throw in there yet since I started the Cali Hash, SB#2 seed and BBxHB seed

Thanks DR, that tent has been bugging me for months. I couldn't stand all the vertical wasted space. If I could get my hands on some flat panel LEDs for the veg tent I'd be done with it. The new set up works great but I think that 200w cfl is gonna be a big heat issue when it starts to get warm again. I have a craigslist app that alerts me when there are new grow lights under $150 posted and there have been a few really nice LED's. Hopefully I can pick some up by the end of May, I'm hoping to be working by then

Ended up chopping two of the remaining 4 stems, both of these were loaded with male flowers and one had a fully developed seed. I think this plant is completely stunted, I'm not seeing much growth. I'll try to give it another week but I have a few plants in mid flower and I'd rather not let her effect those plants, if she hasn't already

When are you going to try a Hydro Grow??? Go for it, it might be your calling....I am liking it!
Soon I hope! I'm already looking into an 8 to 10 site aeroponic set up for a winter grow. I want to use half my flower tent for an aeroponic grow and half for maybe 3 plants in 5 gallon pots with soil. I was considering DWC but it's probably gonna be too hot to try it during the summer

Just like the last one, I felt like I had super glue on my fingers after chopping her. I need to remember to wear gloves next time :weed:

The smell reminds me of Sour OG, very skunky. I'm not expecting more than 10 grams dry from this one. Now that BC99 has one maybe he can unlock her secret and figure out how to get a big yield out of her. The smell, bag appeal and potency is all there, but for some reason I can't get her to grow big. I have 4 more seeds I can try, maybe it's just a bad pheno, or maybe I just suck at growing this plant... The breeder is Flying Dutchman, I think there are 2 other breeders that carry Power Skunk too, it's definitely worth trying, I haven't found anything in SD that smells or smokes like it :leaf:

I'm running two flooded tube hydro systems and two E&F systems now and you're right about temps with DWC. I had a lot of trouble keeping temps in check with that but I'm now using ice chests for a res on all nut one system and am not having too much trouble with temps. The worst is the veg room that get's warm so I put ice in that one every evening but the flower room stays cooler and I've only needed to add ice once so far and it's been fine since.

I've built a few aeroponic systems now for people and it's not difficult if you decide to go DIY. The most expensive part is the timer ($80 or so)if you want to run the proper one but some people get away with a not so ideal watering schedule using regular timers. You can do it out of 4" fencepost from Home Depot/Lowe's, 4" drain pipe, Rubbermaid totes or ice chests and will have similar results no matter which way you go. Given your heat issues I'd say at least consider using an ice chest for a res but you could use anything for the rest of it depending on what you want.


EDIT: You could build one that won't cost much using the 4" square vinyl fence post. One post will make two 36" pieces that could easily have 4 sites each and they only cost $16 and then about $8 for the post caps and then just some PVC and spray nozzles and a res of some sort you're done except for the timer. Even with the good timer you're only looking at about $150 total and it takes about 2 hours to build.

This is what I had in mind



But instead of 3 trays only 2 with maybe 4 or 5 sites each and hopefully it'll just take up half my flower tent, that way I can stick a few plants in 5 gallon buckets with soil as well. Stealthhydro.com has that set up for $400, I see about $70 in parts there plus the misters, pumps etc...

Here are a few pics I took last night of the BBxHB seedling, it's only 6 days old from the day I planted it. Also some of the Northern Skunk and a few Casey Jones pics

Both Casey Jones, the tall one I'm calling CJ#1 and plan to flower it soon, it's been growing pretty fast. Hopefully I can clone the other one so I can flower her too

Exactly. I built a couple that look like that and two of my flooded tube systems look like that too except my res is directly under the tubes and I have 4 tubes with 5 sites per tube. I am getting away with a 300gph pump in one and a 200gph pump in the other and they're both doing good.

Easy to do bru

You could make one with just two tubes, turn that res 90 degrees and shove it under the stand and it'll take up less than half of a 4x4 tent like yours. The posts come in 6' lengths for the price I mentioned so you get two 3' ones from one piece. At Lowe's you can get them in 8' lengths so you'd have two that you could make 42" with room for your fill/drain plumbing or just run the two @ 36" to have a little wiggle room.

Sounds great man, thanks for the tips. I was at Home Depot the other day getting my NP strips but I looked around to the entire store to see if there was anything I could use but didn't see anything. I can't stand Lowe's (fuck Jimmie Johnson, lol) but from the few times I've been there they had a bunch of cool stuff, too bad they sponsor that idiot...hahaha

I can't wait to get started on this, been wanting to try it for months. Only thing is I need to finish my current set up first. Still need to finish the ventilation, get rid of and replace the 200w cfl, get my new XXXL hood and a 4" inline fan to replace the loaner one I have before I need to return it. ($$$$$)

That's why I'm shooting for after the summer but hopefully I can start putting it together way before I'm even ready for it.

Here is another one with a set up I like for maybe my veg tent:

Not all Home Depot stores stock the vinyl fencing but they all can order it. You just have to ask an employee which stores around will have it and they usually know. Go to the pro desk, not just any dude in the store though. It's the bigger ones that typically carry it in stock. There are a lot of Home Depot stores around me and only three of them carry it.

Good luck with everything.

Thanks DR, can't wait to get started on it.

I had a job interview on Monday and might have another one by the end of the week, I'm also going to a job fair on Friday. Step 1 before anything is finding a job before my benefits expire...
