Oh and I Bought a little gadget the other day, it's a Oregon scientific weather station which comes with 3 IR sensors that read humidity and temp, Ive just put one in each part, seedling, veg, flower and with a little glance at the screen I get a reading, also if humidity goes over 60% a little flower starts flashing! That has to be designed for us growers, lol.



was about £50 on amazon, I was gonna buy a few hygrometers for like £10-15 each, soi reckon this is a bargain, I trust what these meters say too over some of the hygrometers, Oregon scientific usually make good shit!

sick set up man and sick weather station might have to purchase one of those.

i wish i could have my room set up like hat but im renting so have to cope with inspections all the time...... so i cant have big venting pipes and glowing tents hehe looks nicely set up though man.

i have been having a word with my mate whos building my frame to sit the lights in...... we were thinking of buying a photo frame or 2 and using the glass from that....
do you think this will be good enough and not cause any loss in light intensity or cause the lumen output to drop quicker as the distance increases?
its not something i have to worry about so much with it being a small cab but just curious......

again nice set up, shame about your breeding what do you think went wrong?

Cheers mate,

yh I would have thought pic frame glass should be fine, though im no expert! ;p

Ive seen loads of posts with people saying that air cooled hoods lose lumens etc, but I'm not convinced. There's plenty of growers using them and getting amazing results, so if it does lose lumens, it's only minimal. I reckon the cooler temps are more beneficial than a few lumens u may or may not lose!

and my breeding was a disaster, I kept 3 phenos of Buddhas sister x original haze, one very indica, one very hazey and one in the middle, I cut the BS Dom pheno first (haha I've called it BS, that's not Buddhas sister, that's Bull Shit), looked sorta alright, but just smells like lettuce and makes me reach when I smell it, even after 2-3 weeks cure, smokes ok, but saving for tincture.
i cut the middle pheno down about a week or so ago, she looked ok, smelled ok when alive, but since drying her, I dunno, there's just something I don't like, lol, she's curing, so I'll try her in a week or so, she may smoke and come alive during cure.
the last hazey one is still growing, she around day 90ish and needs a couple more weeks I reckon, she smells ok and has ok ish resin, she looks the best one. We will see.

so that's it, lol, I wasted a load of time I could have been growing my TGA stash. If I had more space so that I could grow a few plants and not worry if their shit, I may try again, but I'm happy now growing out others hard work, lol.

hm interesting man thanks for info, shame you didnt get anything more promising

i am hoping on subs theory that if i cross dank with dank i should get dank haha

but i wont be attempting this for a while yet or at least not until i get my first male lol
if he looks decent il save his pollen and wait for some female i think looks special, cu-tip a branch or 2 for some free seeds and see what happens when i grow them out.

im not hoping for anything amazing really, just using it to learn the very basics and some free seeds as obviously you need a lot more space to properly test strains...

yo trich, i remembered you said you had grown dairy queen before (or anyone else whos grown DQ), how bad do you think just 1 of those will smell, suppose to be super stinky.... didnt realise this when I ordered seeds lol

Yep it's a stinkier strain, also some phenos smell more than others, it stinks a bit in veg too.

Yeah my breeding project wasn't great to start with, I actually made the seeds a couple yrs ago and the genetics weren't great, well the mother was nice, but the pollen was given to me and I reckon the male is more important than the female in breeding.
im holding out for this last one still going, had a look at her earlier and she has massive trichomes, you can actually see if their cloudy on some of them without a scope.
dont get me wrong, even the other two ive harvested are prob better than most stuff on the streets, but I've become a bit snobby with my weed now, lol, I'll get some pics up of some buds in the sun tomorrow, may look better, i didn't like the green crack when I harvested it but its one of my favs now it's cured a while.

After waiting for my fucking banker to get shit fixed Chucky's bride and Chocolate rain are on their way. My cash had dropped and i wanted to keep some to get a Qush pack during the Attitude promo and with 4 different Kushe in the garden i thought Extrema would wait till next month - i know i'm about to order Qush but they're out of Cheese quake and i dont want to pay 10 extra euros for the new strains eventhough i'm dying to try those. If anybody has a suggestion for a dope TGA (i know it's a personal taste thing but feedback is always good).

I know there's a lot of talk about the timewreck but i tend to believe that she's more of a "cash cropper" comparing to other strains and i'm all about taste, being a kush lover i though Qush...

Cutting Exodus in a few days, Blue cheese is on it's way and 'im about to get a cut from a friend who told me his BC was fire. My Kaboom loves SS. It's not even a complete recipe but the buds are growing amazingly comparing ot my bottled nutes run.

Note: LA confidential does stretch lol

Peace!

Time wreck bro, that's my next one, shit looks dank, and if its good enough for sub to donate half his room to it, it's good enough for me!
i feel ya on the £10 increase, I've got Mickey Kush, was a impulse buy and prob won't be grown for a while as I want to get galactic jack, my schedule is time wreck next (gonna be a couple months tho) then galactic jack (shld be released soon) and then I'm going thru the rest of the older strains, already have JTR but that's on hold too.

Jilly beans a nice strain too bud, specially ifu like the fruity strains.


and my breeding project has had a success I hope, the haze pheno is still going, at day 100ish and fuck knows when it'll be ready, it's just packin on resin now, the plant has been going for over 120 days in a 3 litre pot, lol, some of the buds are nearly the size of the pot! It's just strings of calyxes clumped together to form buds and absolutely caked in resin. I'm hoping she'll be nice, but really need her to finish, I vegged my other plants to long and have a green crack near enough read to take her spot. I'll get some photos up as the pots small enough to move into the light.

Hey man,

Sounds good!

I remember growing in smaller pots before, i might do a run of smaller plants in 6 liters pot but it seems like torture to me now that switched to smart pots haha :)
I was disciplined enough to stay away from an impulsive buy myself on the tude promotion. I figure my next order will be TGA: Qush, Mickey Kush, and a 10 pack of jesus Og to do a good pheno hunt. It seems kind of stupid to get two of the new strains after complaining about their prices but hell i really want to try them out. I'll switch between sannies and tga for my next 3 order than either a ggg, bodhi or rare dankness order - i really want to see what's up with those breeder.

IT's good to hear about long time flowering sativas. I might grow some ggg colombian some day, those sativas have something magical about them having them in the tent must be both a pain in the ass and quite a spectacle.

My supersoil is cooking. Received the package pretty quickly i've got to say. also received chocolate rain - 6 beans germing right now - chucky's bride and original sour diesel x lady cane as freebies.
I'll run the 5 freebies next and finally the chucky's bride as i'm still selecting a pheno on the blue cheese.

It seems like you're about to start some great genetic on your side. That only show's me you've been growing for some times haha.

Peace!

Yh i know whatya mean bout the small pots, i did it this time as I had 9 plants, the yeild wasn't good on a lot, I was watering every day and had to give shitload of nutes. It was a sort of experiment too see if yeild would go up and i could also grow more strains as I have always just grown 4 plants, but gonna stick with my 4 20 litre air pots now. The sour diesel and shiva are loving it, had only ever used 12 litre pots before, the 20s make a huge difference. I'd like to be able to start off in 2 gallons but don't think I'll have the space.

If u like sativas, I have a dr grinspoon in flower, at out 6 week ish and just starting to flower, really strange behaviour, when I topped her, the 2 main branches went completely horizontal, ive had to actually tie them together so they go up.

Greenspoon and utopia haze are two sativas i'd consider as i really dig their taste, but i thought if i was waiting that long i might as well wait a couple more weeks and go for some black/gold colombian...

Man you'd definetly have the space for 2 gallons smart pot. It's good to know about your experiment it'll save me time ;) I'm running 4 plants in 5 gallons pots right now and i got a 15 gallon i'll place in a bin so i'll just be using about 10 gallons of soil. Give it a try!

Peace!

I bought a 56 litre Rhizopot a while bak, Im just gonna grow one tree and scrog the shit outta it and see how much I can get outta a 600w, I wanna hit the 1gpw, got close a few grows back, yeilded 506g off four plants, and I reckon with my shiva I could do it as she just makes rock hard nugs.
but that won't be for a while, gonna do a few back to back grows as my stash is getting low :(

oh I'd also say, be careful of Plagron light mix, fuckin shit just gave me thrips, lol, first time I've EVER had bugs in bout 4/5 years. Luckily I only have one small plant and some clones and its not too bad.

I don't really recommend sick meds seeds green crack either, first 5 pack I had only one germed it's that purple bud I posted, the bitch was the hardest plant I've ever grown, kept wiggin out all the time like she was over fed when she only had water for weeks, and a large ish plant yielded only 36g :( but the bud cured, is prob the best I've ever smelt, grapey mango smell that reeks and tastes real nice too and has a nice buzz.
so I moaned about the poor germ and he sent me 6 more, so I cracked this one in veg now and it's being the same pain in the ass, u can't train it without snapping stems, it has really thick hollow stems which don't bend at all, anyways hopefully this one wont start wiggin out in flower cos the smoke is very nice.

peace bro

Here's a few pics, they ain't great as I'm using my shades but I'll try n get some photos in the sunlight when the lights come back on later.

this is just overall shot, bak left is my haze cross, next to her is my shiva about 8 days in 12/12, and front left is sour diesel at about week 6/7 of 10 and grinspoon on the right at the same time as the sour diesel but hasn't even started flowering yet, she's a 100 dayer but I put her in pretty young at about 2 weeks so I reckon she'll take bout 120 days. For size comparison the haze is over 5 foot tall.



and here's a close up of the haze, doesn't show up the resin much in this light but its caked everywhere apart from fan leaves. She's pretty yellow and had nothin but water and a lil sugar for about 4 weeks, lol, starting to cloud up now so reckon 1-2 weeks left. Also I reckon if I hadn't topped her shed be about 15 ft tall, I've topped about 10 places right upto day 50 when I basically chopped the plant in half as she was just growing about a foot a week. Day 102 now.

And here's some from the archive, I'm actually quite impressed with how some of these look ;p

Some bud porn





And some happy plants :)

Looking sweet bro, again I dont see how you couldnt stick four 5 gallons smart pot in there, i'd say you might be able to put four 7gallons pots...

Thanks for the plagron tip, i had some thrips once and couldnt figure wich soil it was now i know, gonna stick with canna terra, seedling like it more, and now that i have all the extra ingredients...

Cheers for the breeder info, i'll be sticking with those i was introduce to in here haha they seem to be the bomb and between the 5 (Sannies & co - TGA - DNA/RP - GGG- Bodhi) of them i've got growing material for a decade plus haha adding a couple barneys or rare dankness here and there and i'm good with breeders :p

Your plants look very happy , wait now for the super soil version :p i'm pumped as hell myself!!!

5/6 chocolate rain seeds germed in les than 24h. Putted them in the pot, waiting for the last one to sprout, might end up germing the sour diesel x lady cane earlier than expected :)

Peace!

Yeah I'm using 20 litre airpots now which is over 5 gallons or around there I believe. I was talking bout 2 gallon pots for starting them off, I use 3 litre airpots at the mo until I pot upto 20, it's my vegging area where I struggled n space, as I have a 20 litre pot in there already. I'd think I'd struggle with 7s as I have a dehumidifier in the middle and the 5s just fit, if they are just taller I probably could use them.

imma switch upto proper smart pots too soon, prob for when I start my SS run, I'll prob get some 1 gallon ones for vegging too.

u should get some pics up bro of ur babies and setup!
