[simpsonsampson420]

its def. pretty interesting.

before 9/11, you used to be able to get an ounce of headies for under $200... and then the borders were clamped down and everything jumped up drastically

they have never been anywhere close to that cheap here.. danks always been around 4g's a pound and mids, anywhere from 750 to 1600 depending on quality..

yeah. brick weed went from 80 to 120 a pound right accross the border.

thats still cheap as fuck.. but fuck some brick.. shit doesnt give you much than a headache.. lol makes for some good brownies and shit tho!

ya SS ...i think are next grows will are gonna be off the hook...im excited for the SS and TM 2.0 journals.. youve been such a help over this grow...u and mg..really have been..if something wuz bothering me about some sennerio in the op..i know i can always turn to my journal for you'alls help...thats is such a relief sometimes..even to have an answer ive already figured out confirmed with similiar thoughts..u know..
Id say ur trimming went pretty fast...took me 1hr per girl with my g/f working non stop with me. looks like u had me beat by 15 min on ea one.. ill get faster but scissors always start fucking with me after holding them for several hours..i got a nice ball of hash..just took a razor to my scissors, and hers everytime they got stickey.. we had 2.8 grams of hash sittin there 8hours later. Ya i think the autoflower idea is kick ass. i dont know why i havent seen that more.. gives u extra budroom space in the veg room.perfect personal idea.. i love it. making me build more shelves in the veg room..gotta go

it is going to get some interesting here over the next little while for sure! i am projecting about 6 months before i can have everything up and running like i totally want with the autos and the clones plus the normal grow.. i have to add on slowly.. get on piece of the puzzle in place and start looking for the spot for the next piece...

i do wonder why more people havent thought of it tho.. it seems like it would just click to people.. i think its because its a little tricky to do with a perpetual harvest like i am gonna do.. like i said, when the autos start flowering i have to hook them up to the flowering res so they get the right nutes.. plus most people dont have the luxury of using a combonation of lights in their veg room like ill be able to... i can run 2 veg and 2 flower bulbs with each ballast to give all the vegging girls a full spectrum of light.. i wonder how that would work??

and as much thanks as your giving me i owe you and MG the same!! it has been great having this little click of ours.. plus everyone else that has come in to check it out... its like an unlimited knowledge reference book.. and it is great to have someone to support an idea you had... even if you knew 100% it would work.. its always nice to have a friend agree... to keep your confidence up...

TM and SS 2.0 soon to come!! itll be another long day starting here sooN!!



oh and MG.. sorry to hear about the burn... sun burns suck ass... you puttin some aloe on it?? shit works great.. i used to have a few aloe plants around the house id keep just for burns...

 

[tilemaster]

thanks mg..i just wish i had run 20 like SS. id be laughing my ass of instead of sweating to get this in in 4 days...its all good. but that sets a benchmark for me to work off of. especially with improves going in. should be double down

 

[tilemaster]

i am really stooped by why i havent seen any1 floweing auto in the veg area..keepn small for persie...hmm i dont know but im going to try too..but i got get a hold of some international stock ..im googling them 2day..letme know wut u find out bout the ruderalis....and wut youll be running..im assuming a lowryder..but i dunno..

 

[simpsonsampson420]

do u know how to blow ur pics up...?

they are HUGE on my screen.. but tell me how if they are appearing small on yours and ill blow them up.. my tv screen is actually my computer screen so i see everything on a 40" monitor.. always looks big

they are HUGE on my screen.. but tell me how if they are appearing small on yours and ill blow them up.. my tv screen is actually my computer screen so i see everything on a 40" monitor.. always looks big

i strait luv that sissor hash. any time i can help with a/or just comfirme let me now bro, thats what im a hear for.. im really gladyou both did good, well great on your 1st grows. + reps for you both on the dank ass colas.

i use spring loaded sissors.. they save a LOT on hand fatigue.. like i could have gone a LOT longer than i did.. and this is the first time i used them.. and thats why i think i did them quicker.. it usually took a lot longer than that per plant for me..

you sick fuck im not your friend any more.....LOL now wow wow wow that a bud, wow thats all i can say is wow.

aww buddy ill share with you!! just think.. the girls i sent you will treat you as well as they did me

well 4th grow.. best indoor ive done yet tho

yea... this is my 4th also... but definatly the best turn out...

dosn't matter how many that a fucking great grow right there. i must spread sum luv they tell me, soryy for no +er for you, but its in thought bro.

thanks for the thought tho bro!! i am forvever checkin to see if i can hook you and TM back up.. sure as shit i need to spread more to...

thanks mg..i just wish i had run 20 like SS. id be laughing my ass of instead of sweating to get this in in 4 days...its all good. but that sets a benchmark for me to work off of. especially with improves going in. should be double down

thats the great thing about the group we have.. we all can push eachother and help to get eachother bigger harvests.. like you said it gives us been marks... bet we both more than double our next harvests!

there is a blueberry/ak mix i want to try... well shit.. almost every good company is coming out with autos now.. and more arent crossed with the ruderalis anymore.. apparently after enough breeding of them the autoflower quality is now far set into the actual genes of these girls...

i think most people dont fuck with them cause you cant clone them.. of you have to pollenate them to get seeds.. personally i am just gonna spend about $700 on just auto seeds to keep them going.. i mean shit.. if i can fit 16 of them in the veg room thats possibly a whole extra pound.. and its using space i would otherwise have wasted...

 

[simpsonsampson420]

so today is going to be another busy day for me.. i have to clean out the veg room.. sweep up the dirty floors... bleach down the walls... all that fun stuff...

then i have to get my hydro system set up.. get that all nice and ready to go...

then i have to clean the hydroton and get all the buckets up setup...

then i have to transplant the girls!!

then ill have my hydro grow started!!

so could be another longer day... gotta get up and going tho.. times a wasting!!

 

[cph]

WOW thats one hell of a cola!!! Very nice job.

I have a question for you. Most of what I've read says you should dry in a cool, dry, and dark place. I see you have yours right over your lights. Do you have any problems with that? I would think the heat from the lights might dry it out a quick, maybe? I'm going to have my first harvest in about 2 weeks and have been considering were to dry them.

 

[Smokiethebear]

Looks like another bumper crop on RIU.....do you have a wet weight?

 

[JACKMAYOFFER]

Thanks to you for keeping such a detailed journal it relly helps to have your sick ass grow just a click away..

 

[slipperyP]

Good Morning Men....I have been getting used to sleeping later and Im missing the morning weed convo...

Glad your back MG...

That crop looks Fking excellent...and NO i don't know how to blow the pictures up like that?

someone tell me a little about auto flower's

I had a seedling that was an auto flower...It surprised the hell out of me...I wasn't prepared for it and didn't know what it was so I didn't make good use of it.

There no good for cloning because you cant veg them for size...

I think they might work good for an outdoor seed in states that have short growing seasons?

 

[motorboater]

they have never been anywhere close to that cheap here.. danks always been around 4g's a pound and mids, anywhere from 750 to 1600 depending on quality..

it was crazy. we're on the border, so the canucks used to be able to send trucks full of it through.

regarding auto-flowers, the high is interesting. my friend only harvested 1/4oz off his plant.

 

[Dr. Greenhorn]

Right on ss420, awesome harvest

 

[bgmike8]

i imagine he turns the light s off. lol. where do you get those spring loaded scissors? i guess a garden store. i get alot of stuff off internet. the little garden store ppl look at me funny because all i buy is ph down and one inch starter rw. or maybe im just paranoid fromn all the brick weed.

im really worried about harvesting because i am so lazy. have any of you guys seen the aardvark??? hooks right to your vacuum. i also saw a pair of motorized scissors that are safe to touch and stick your fingers in.. i can post video of these if requested.


another question, does anyone live in california or familiar with their market? im wondering what the weed goes for a pound in the most medically licensed grow state

 

[DankJWeeks]

well mids are 1500 - 2500 and highs are around 3000 - 4000. it just depends who u know and if they have it, hopefully i get atleast one full unit out of my crop and ill be selling it for 3600 to my buddy if its high quality, if not ill give it away for 2500 or 3000 to one of the clubs

So wats up with these autoflowers all u guys are talking about? i read up on them so they flower right after sprouting? Do they need 12 hours dark? are you leaving them in the veg room the whole time or moving them into the hps tent when u notice there flowering??? im gonna look up more info im real interested sounds like a good idea from wat i can understand!

 

[bgmike8]

so 3-4 and thats in california? sounds like medical legalization doesnt fuckup the market

 

[mygirls]

hey u busy bee take a smoke break for crying out loud,youv been working so hard.......waz up bro

thanks for checkin things out CPH.. good timing for sure!!

i have been keeping the lights off... i just got my hydro system set up today.. so the lights are back on again.. i am planning on moving them... but as smokie says its just s bumper crop to make the rest of what i need to expland the rest of the way.. but yea.. you are right.. typically a cool dark place is best.. with a 60% or so humidity and a TON of good circulation... follow all the good habbits i have and non of the bad ones youve seen on this grow..

Looks like another bumper crop on RIU.....do you have a wet weight?

not an exact weight.. but i am guess around 3750 to 4000.. all the colas weighed around 100 grams... so about 2000 grams in colas.. and i figure at least that much or a little less in side buds... i usually dont check wet weight cause i like the surprrise.. wish i would have now tho so i can start planning out what i can do...

Thanks to you for keeping such a detailed journal it relly helps to have your sick ass grow just a click away..

your welcome!! i figure the more detailed the better.. if it helps someone else out then its worth it!!

it was crazy. we're on the border, so the canucks used to be able to send trucks full of it through.

regarding auto-flowers, the high is interesting. my friend only harvested 1/4oz off his plant.

im hoping to get an ounce per... but anything is better than nothing.. and if its just unused space anyways then its just a possitive!

Right on ss420, awesome harvest

hey Dr. G.. thanks bro.. worked hard on the girls.. glad its finally done and over.. ready to move on!

i imagine he turns the light s off. lol. where do you get those spring loaded scissors? i guess a garden store. i get alot of stuff off internet. the little garden store ppl look at me funny because all i buy is ph down and one inch starter rw. or maybe im just paranoid fromn all the brick weed.

another question, does anyone live in california or familiar with their market? im wondering what the weed goes for a pound in the most medically licensed grow state

i got them at worms way.. its a hydro store.. they are amazing!!

i would recommend using scissors you can scrap... plus you want to save everything you trim except for the large fans leaves.. make some hash when your done!

well mids are 1500 - 2500 and highs are around 3000 - 4000. it just depends who u know and if they have it, hopefully i get atleast one full unit out of my crop and ill be selling it for 3600 to my buddy if its high quality, if not ill give it away for 2500 or 3000 to one of the clubs

Do they need 12 hours dark? are you leaving them in the veg room the whole time or moving them into the hps tent when u notice there flowering??? im gonna look up more info im real interested sounds like a good idea from wat i can understand!

basically autoflowers just start flowering based pretty much on age.. they usually are 8 weeks from seed to harvest.. but you only get 1/4 to and ounce per plant.. and you cant clone them... they are good if you want to veg and flower in the same room without messing with light cycles... i just want to utilize all the space in both sides of the grow room as much as possible..

hey u busy bee take a smoke break for crying out loud,youv been working so hard.......waz up bro

its only break time when im done.. if i stop i get unmotivated... im usually lazy.. LOL


____________________________________________________________________________________________




so the hydro system is hooked up and running...

the girls are all transplanted and happy...

the back row is chemdog...

the 3rd row is OG Kush

the second row has 2 blueberry and the white shark.. the shark is on the right...

and the first row is all blueberry


i used 1/4 strength nutes to start out...

general hydroponics grow and mucro
floralicious gro
diamond nectar
floranectar
and subculture B

all the girls had solid root structures...

i used my tall boy decholornator... it gave be a EC of .6... the 1/4 strength nutes added .2 to my EC giving me a final starting EC of .8..

my water was PH'd at 7.8... the nutes lowered it to 7.6.. and then lowered it the rest of the way to 6.0 using PH Down...

other than that not much to tell ya... heres some pics of the room and what i did...

but i will be around more now... at least until i get the million other things i need to do done.. but i cant really start that until i get my harvest gone...
