i have talked to him a couple times recently myself.. getting ready to send him some beans..

i dont think i have any snow coming.. i might.. its been some what shakey with weather lately.. really cold in windy earlier this week.. no wind and decent out now.. so who knows.. we'll prolly get nailed with the snow a day or two after him tho... that seems to be the trend.. i get whatever weather he has (usually) a couple days after he has it...

 

[Enjoy!]

Hey man havent seen this in awhile this grow is seeming to start off so great, sorry for the water problem shit happens lol.
I gots me 3 plants going now i had 4,1 turned male =( made some pot cookies though and they were a 4 out of ten i guess better than throwing him out. And 2 are forshure female 1 im still waiting to see flowers. They are on 12/12 now, 2 were on veg for 1 month and 1 was on veg for 2 months. I gots 600 watts of hps in 4-150 watt systems. Im using the GH flora seris and floralicous series with happy frog soil. Seems like everything is going great =) ill show you some pictures soon.

 

[simpsonsampson420]

hey bro.. glad you stopped by for the update... hope you end up with a 3rd girl too! they should give you a nice harvest for sure!!

sorry the cookies didnt turn out as well as you hoped.. there probably wasnt much thc content in that male this early on tho.. somethings better than nothing right??

the damn flood sucked.. its ok now.. its happened before and im sure (might) happen again.. theres enough air circulation and the such that the carpet dries quickly and shit... like you said, shit happens..

i'd like to see some pics when you get them!




so an update on my girls... DAMN... they are blowing up... its insane... i love watching them grow so much everyday...

im a little concerned about the chocolopes.. they are still pretty small and dont seem to be growing as quick at the others.. but all 4 of them are doing the same thing.. so i assume it is a strain related thing.... if after this grow im not impressed ill just do the rest of another strain to fill in for them....

otherwise not much to say.. just keepin it goin!

 

[mygirls]

what up did everything die, i dought it you must be busy or changing things around. just thought i would stop in and say HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WAZ UP

 

[simpsonsampson420]

hey brotha man.. whats going on yourself??

actually i've just been being lazy bro.. lol


heres some pics i took yesterday but didnt get up.. ive been meaning to post new ones..

the first 4 pics are the photoperiod girls

the last few pics are of the autos...

fucked up ones are the chocolopes.. i have no idea the cause... the leaves are not at all crispy.. they feel fine.. just hard core mutants.. and not growing much.. any ideas??

i love how orange the flower room is with all the hps lamps.. its like sunset in the summer... except im inside...

 

[mygirls]

hows the root growth.maybe a lock up of some sort in the roots. they are looking good brotha looking good.

thats what it looks like to me... pH or something. could just be a runt though.

lookin gr8 sampson!

ya seemslike theres always a runt,just don't give up on it tell it has sum buds..

 

[simpsonsampson420]

ph is on.. havent checked root growth.. but they were all hit with a dose of root 66 the first week..

and its not just those 2 chocolope.. all 4 of them are like that... i think i just got a retarded batch or something

ya if all four arelike that then i callrunt seeds. it happens. shit youwill probley wake up one morrning to find they have shotup 4 inches then you will be like dam where did these come from.

 

[dbo24242]

well I was thinking the problem could be isolated to the messed-up-plant buckets, although not sure how with that system. the res pH might be fine but the media in those particular buckets could be fizzed
all chocolopes huh

im hoping.. ill be a little pissed if i paid almost 200 dollars for them and they are all fucked...

well I was thinking the problem could be isolated to the messed-up-plant buckets, although not sure how with that system. the res pH might be fine but the media in those particular buckets could be fizzed
all chocolopes huh

the system basically is like this..

timer turns on pump which pumps res water into "drain bucket".. basically a bucket with a pump in it to pump nute water back into the res... the bucket has feeder lines off of it that run to the sites themselves..

all the sites in that side of the room have hydroton... all new hydroton... washed well of course...

i havent been able to figure it out... ph is steady at 5.8 to 6.2.. i am lucky like that... i very rarely have to adjust it more than 1 time after i change the res...

i up'ed the ec a little.. maybe its just a small plant strain or something.. who knows...

 

[dbo24242]

ah well just meant not sure how a problem would get isolated to single buckets in a system like that - unless you reused the hydroton or something.

hmm sketchy deal I wouldn't want to buy beans from wherever you got em! (where was that?)

 

[simpsonsampson420]

i got em from attitude.. although i dont blame them..

they are DNA genetics.... havent grown anything from them before so i dont know if its them or not...

i can say that i have had the best results from seeds from sagamartha and G-13 labs

 

[dbo24242]

oh! uh oh hope all the DNA gen seeds I got as freebs aren't bad... G-13 seems pretty good to me, a lotta people show em no love though! They have short plants with good yields.

 

[wonderblunder]

Nice grow, scribed. Amaazing setup. Hope those Chocolopes turn around.

g-13 is a good breeder company for sure... the pineapple express are showing the best growth so far, next to the yumbolt 47... its sad they dont get more recognition than they do... hope your dna's turn out well... i really think i just got a somewhat lame batch...

Nice grow, scribed. Amaazing setup. Hope those Chocolopes turn around.

glad to have you on board... please feel free to ask any questions you have along the way... thanks for the compliments

 

[wonderblunder]

Thanks for having me. Take a look at my grow in sig if you get a chance. 1800w somewhat vertical grow, with some larger plants. Tomorrow marks 1 week flowering. Wonder Woman, Hash Plant, Purple Widow, LBC LAvendar X Purple Voodoo

 

[simpsonsampson420]

be happy to check them out....


once i get the funds i want to get a coliseum so i can have a vertical grow going also... really i just figure if i can get 10 cuttings off of 16 plants, thats 160 cuttings, and i only need 16 to keep vegging, i can use the rest and almost fill out a 150 site coliseum... why not huh?

 

[mygirls]

morning bro. well another day and it time to cut sum more wood. hows things for youbrotha. hope all is well.
