K1Ng5p4d3's Cardboard Box Grow (hehe)

[K1Ng5p4d3]

Still won't let me rep you again King. I'll get a journal up, once I get the ball rolling. I'm a few weeks out on the seeds now, since I had to put tires on the car this weekend. I'm gonna start picking up some supplies in the mean time. I need the baskets I'm gonna use, and the air pumps. I want to get a cool tube real bad. I need to pick up my soil, and nutes. I also really need to get another bub for my light. I have a 1000w eye hortilux red, and I really want to get a 1000w eye hortilux super blue dual arc hps. If I have to veg under the red bulb I will, cus I'm certain it will be better then using cfl's....any opinions on this are welcome. But I really want to get the blue bulb. I have to find a hydro shop (the closest I know about is about 60 miles away) and get a price on the blue bulb. The ones I found online have been like 250, and I need to find one cheaper then that. So anyway I'm workin out some kinks in my plans, but its gonna come together, and you guys will be the first, and only ones to see it lol.

why do you need an eye hortilux?? just because theyre quality dont mean the growbright bulbs arent just as good, for like 60 bucks for the hps, and 70 for the MH i believe for the 1000 watt. Go to htgsupply and order from there man. N as for the dual arc bulbs, they got those at HTG supply .com too, for like 99.95 bucks. Dont go out n spend 250 on a bulb thats gonna work the same as the others. a thousand extra lumens aint worth a hundred bucks bro, lol.

N i got your rep btw, thanks mang - hope you got mine that i sended right back to you n the rest of the fellaz.

ill talk to you guys tomorrow, fuckin late as shit here right now, n i gotta order my new ph meter, ppm meter, ionizer, and some other fuckin shit that i cunt remember. OOOOOOOOOOONe.

Lol is it a little late for ya King you do seem alittle batty tonight. So I've tryed to hop over to the new thread in your sig line, but it keeps sayin 404 error, is that on their end, your end, or my end?

 

[Thundercat]

I know I don't need the eye hortilux, but I do need a 1000w blue, that will run on an Hps ballast. I don't have a switchable ballast, so I have to use a bulb that will work. I'm a fan of the hortilux cus they are good, but I'm not stuck on it. I do however need to find a blue hps, and that was the first one that I found. I'd rather not start ordering a bunch of stuff off the net if I can avoid it. I've decided to go ahead and mail the seeds to my place, and I'd rather not send a bunch of grow supplies here to. Am I being to paranoid? I'm just tryin to play safe.

[808fatclouds]

whoa....very nice setup and exspecially your plant...their beutiful!.....hahaha cant wait to see them bloom.....

 

[GypsyBush]

Im vegging 24/7 in my tent right now. In the morning i bring my big plant down into the tent, and at night i put her back up into her box for darkness. so shes flowering in the same room that all my other plants are vegging in. its actually workin out pretty well.

that's some funny shit... I am doing the exact same thing... every morning I bring the AG from the original nightstand, and into the tent... everyone else just stays in there...

It's working well for now, but soon i will fill the tent and no more... but harvest is eminent... hehehe

Tasty... them nugs I cut off.. hmmmm hmmm... delicious... not quite ripe yet, but man do I like it... hehehehe...

Right on bro.. take care...

[K1Ng5p4d3]

i have dank envy Gyp, you kaniving bastard, lol. I got some nugs in cure mode too from when i did the chop chop to dlylah, got a little over a Q from her dry, which aint too bad considerin she was almost 4 weeks premature before i did it. So their curing, i smoked a nugglet, n i actually got high from it, which is always a plus, lol. The fuckin sucky thing is i am actually repulsed by my own weed right now man - IT SMELLS LIKE ROTTING FERMENTING GRASS. I know this is normal for curing pot, but its my 1st time curing so i didnt know that, lol. I opened the lid on my jar n got a waft of that shit right in my face, n gagged, lol. brings back some fuckin bad memories of bein an indentures slave for the man (my pops), him makin me mow the lawn every fuckin couple days wether i wanted to or not. ended up bein like a 6 ft tall pile of dead rotting grass over the back fence. FUCKIN SUCKED.

But yeah, i hope my shit starts smellin proper real soon man, im holdin out on smokin up again on my own shit until it does. if it dont i got a friend thatll buy poop weed no matter what it smells like, as long as it gets him high - id rather shell out 80 n get myself a Q of some diggity n smoke on that shit for a while as i patiently wait for my shit to finish fattenin up, which is beginning to happen with Corky finally, shes slowly but surely fillin in, and turnin into some nice tops. right now theyre small tops, each bud about the size of a peanut m&m, but thats the same thing that Dlylah did before she filled out, n started growin some nice juicy nugs before i chopped her down. fuckin tragedy.


N Thunda, I know your lookin for a 1000w Blue bulb or MH for short, n im sayin dude, you can grab one from htgsupply for like 70 bucks. The MH conversion bulbs are DECENTLY priced there. But if you aint lookin for quality, and wanna just buy like a set of 4 or 5 of them, i got the hookup on CHEAP CHEAP MH bulbs. I can hook u up with thenumber to this place in BC called PowerKingShop. Theyre bulbs are IllumaLights bulbs, and theyre high powered, i dont remember how many lumens, but its right up there with the growbright bulbs for sure. theyll hook u up with 1000 MH bulbs for 18 bucks a bulb man, and thats even if you only buy one!! its well worth it, even if they only last for one grow per bulb - and im not sayin that cuz i think theyll burn out easy, im just sayin it cuz hell, even if they DID burn out every three months, 18 bucks a bulb is a fuckin STEAL if you ask me. thats what im runnin my tent with right now dude, and its the big fuckall FOOTBALL shaped bulbs, not the thinner ones - i just think they look cooler is all, lol. I did however, order up a Growbright 600 MH n HPS bulb to use though, and theyll be here tomorrow, so ill use the Illumalights bulbs as backups. Think about it man, n hit me up n ill give u the number. just ask for John.

N yeh, even in that nice tent you got, your not gonna have room to hook up a couple plants in there while your other plants are still seedlings?? thats the only reason im doin it with mines, if Corky aint ready by the time i transplant into full blown 5 gal bags, which is gonna be in about 2 more weeks maybe 3 at most, then im just gonna throw her back into the top room to finish up under 500w equivalent of cfls, which should still finish her up nicely. Im actually trying somethin different with my tent lighting though since i have Corky in there....Im takin my HPS bulb, and i put it in there n im keepin it in there for two-three days, n then im switchin back to MH for three days, n then switchin again n so forth, n im gonna do that for two-three weeks,and see if it makes a difference. I need to stretch out my Bluecheese #1 a little bit, cuz right now shes only 3 inches tall , and shes workin on makin her 4th set of true leaves already. doesnt even look like its the 4th set man, its just a tiny cluster of nice lookin leaves. I know that the strain is supposed to be nice n tight n have very little space between nodes to make for nice compact buds, but god DAMN, i figured there would at LEAST be a little bit of room in there somewhere, lol. The first set of fan leaves hasnt even stretched out yet, theyre tucked in still, so it looks wierd.

bah anyways, ima go fuck with everything a little more, things still need a little fine tuning. Im just glad i fixed the mg deficiency in Corky before things turned to shit with her too. Epsom salt really works man. Its good shit

How do you guys like my new signature...????

I am still laughing my ass off.....

[matthewdmac]

i thought that if you shopped a plant early, especially as early as you did it does have that grgassy smell and not so much of a pungent weed smell!?

 

[-=4:20=-Guy]

So their curing, i smoked a nugglet, n i actually got high from it, which is always a plus, lol.

I know this is normal for curing pot, but its my 1st time curing so i didnt know that, lol.

First it smells grassy cause of the amount of inner bud leaf vs actual bud. As for the rotting that is a bad smell. If I remember correct you just cut her down. The buds should be hung untill the outside is almost crisp (# of days depends on temp and humidity) in the dark (prevents mold) and then moved to the sealed jars (open daily and mix) they will be ready when the stems can be snapped.

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

yeh i hung dry them for 2 days until the outside was straight up crispy, n then i put them straight into a jar. I skipped the paper bag part cuz i thought they were too dry for it, but after like two hours in a jar they were moist again, lol. But theyre coming along according to how their supposed to, so no complaints here.

N yeah, when i chopped it the buds smelled more like grass n less like chronic for sure, but once cured theyll smell like bud, its all part of the process. So if you go through the same thing, and come to the point to where your nugs smell like dying grass, dont panic, itll take a week or so for them to stop smellin that way, but when they do, theyll smell good - maybe not like SUPER pungent, but theyll stank like chronic good enough to not repulse people whenever they stick their nose in your bag, lol

 

[Thundercat]

I hung mine for 7-10 days in the closet with a fan to dry, they come out perfect. I didn't really sure them I just put them in tuppperware, and opened it every time I got a bud out lol. My buds never smelled anything like grass, or rotting. They had an almost potpurri smell to them from flower through drying. Thankfully they didn't taste like potpurri.

The bulb I need to get isn't just a MH bulb King, I have a magnetic HPS ballast, and it won't run a MH bulb, thats why I need the dual arc. I'm sure I can find them cheaper then what I did, I just havn't looked real hard yet, cus I don't have the money yet. I've also been talking to several people, and I may not even worry about it this grow. I've been told that though its not "ideal" vegging with an hps will work just fine, esspecially since it is such a strong light.

wussup k1ng hows the buds goin??

 

[GypsyBush]

i see how you are...

dude, you need a MH conversion bulb, not a dual arc bulb. MH conversion bulbs run on HPS ballasts. They are just like regular MH bulbs, but retrofitted to run on HPS ballast, trust me bro.

Just my .02 (with my expieriment w/ the drying/curing process....that i had done).

For starters, sadly the ganja is horrid as he!!, I bought an eighth of what I thought was supposed to be dank stuff...it was still soaked....never flushed well (sparkled like twinkle lights on a xmas tree)....real grassy...can't believe that was from a dispensary....

.....at any rate man, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I turned grassy bud, into a spicy smelling euforia.

I played around with a few ideas, and used ideas that I learned from here.

1st. If more than say an ounce, use a bigger brown paper bag. Remove the bud (carefully) outta the bag periodically (say once a day) Try to remove as much air by folding up the bag.

2nd. With the bud removed, place into a sealable sandwich bag for 12 hours without opening it.

Once you do the first step, 3 times over...that is when you will start to notice a change. once cured in the pastic baggie (air removed) (if done right the outside should be abit crisp)...

Took me about a solid 2 weeks before it was pure heaven, but the wait was well worth it. Instead of taking samples off the bud, I shook the paper bag out of any keif...I used that as well as the smell to determine the right moment.

Everyone has their ways, like I said each to their own. In the end, took no more than 2 weeks.
