Grow room update....

Well I finally got round to sorting out the ducting that comes from my grow rooms door, into the actual grow cab. Previously you may recall from my pics that there was always 2 lines of ducting on the floor; well I have built a little unit/bench over that. The top of the bench comes off, I am probably going to stick a few of these fluros..T5's or whatver in there, and build a shelf above the ducting and have my clones growing in there. At the moment my veg tent looks like a refugee camp for plants with things on top of this and that. This will basically replace my home made one which is now back to being a set of drawers Of course the bench is home made and luckilly enough I had some planks from my cabinet frame of old that I had pulled down, and it's great what you can do with old kitchen units!!! Will get pics at some point. Still got to get the lights so it was interesting to hear what you guys had to say before!

I hope I have enough space once I put a shelf in above the ducting, I am looking at about 10" / 25cm width, by about 30" / 80cm length, 10" / 25cm height.

Peace,

DST

Okay, so here's a conundrum. My close mate who looks after my set up when I am away called me. One of his mates who I have also known for a number of years is coming over to visit him next week. He mate is a good lad and wouldn't harm a mouse, and I have had him over to my house many times, and even whitied him out majorly once....which he still get ribbings about, haha....mind you, he threw up over my balcony and at the time I was on the 8th floor, I think his sick hit every balcony on the way down!!!..sorry I digress. Anyway, he is also coming over with another mate of his who both I and my close friend in Amsterdam have never met. Well this other guy wants to come and get the low down on growing (he is growing himself.) And has asked if he can come and see my grow.....

So lads, what do you think?

i say no way bro if he wants some advice thats cool, but thats all he would get from me. yea you know your friends, but not him. not saying that your friend's judgment of character is bad, but like i said thats their buddy, not yours. im just a little too non-trusing when it comes to this stuff. maybe im a little over paranoid, but its been four years and not a peep of any kind of friction has come my way. but dont get me wrong friend, dont let my suspicious nature steer you. just remember this. im not saying that something ill will happen if you introduce this "UNKNOWN" guy to your grow room. not saying anything at all will happen,........but what if it does? how pissed off at yourself are you gonna be knowing that anything and everything that did or didnt happen could have all been avioded if you had just said "NO, i cant invite him to my house to show him my room". thats four seconds of breath that could potentially save you a shitload of problems. but like i said bro, thats just me. when it comes to this stuff, if the maximum suspicion alert level is 10, im walking around set on 9.9,........just in case.


PEACE!!!

@DST what have you got to say regarding female seeds turning to hermies

not trying to butt in, this is just my opinion on female seeds herming out. first off alot of these fem seeds that are on the market are good seeds but they are being grown out by the people who created them, and thats who's marketing them, so yea the pics of the product is going to look proper, and you have to remember this, and it is stated in some descriptions, that those plants that they are growing are being grown under optimal conditions. what are optimal conditions, you may ask. well that depends on the individual breeder. the best we can hope for is the correct humidity, temp, and air flow, and then we can go from there. secondly, and this is just what ive noticed, you see alot of these babies going herm because of grower error. light leaks, nutrient burn(even the smallest amount), overwatering, underwatering, lockouts, Ph swings, high/low humidity, ec/ppm too high or low, deficiencies, light availability, too hot/cold, smoking in the room, diseases, pest, re-using your medium, among many other things are all stresses that can cause a plant to herm. its funny sometimes youll see someone growing a fem seed thats about in the fourth week of flowering and they are having a problem with some kind of lock out. well the issue gets cleared up and about a week or two goes by and then you hear that same person talking about how their plant hermed on them and how "so and so's" seeds are crap, but you have hundreds of other people growing out the same strain with no problems. me personally ive never had a fem seed go herm on me, maybe im just lucky. but i do suggest this for anybody new, grow out some bagseeds for your first three or four runs. get those mechanics down a little and then try to deal with a sensitive fem seed, try to make sure that as much as possible of what you are doing is as precise as you can make it.

I agree 100% it's definately the growers error. I hear people who say " ohh man Attitude gave me some bunk seeds" when it's there fault. I have ordered from attitude and never had a problem yet. It's not like I am a master grower or anything, but tome it's like getting a new puppy. You have to watch it all the time make sure it doesn't get to dry and if you have an incubator, your set! Any hoot I am in the middle of harvest right now trimmin away got some bud porn for everyone enjoy. Oh and the Kushberry still has 4 weeks to go before harvest, it's on day 30 today!

 

[ONEeyedWILLY444]

Since I got my growroom just right I haven't seen any herm traits and I've ran quite a lot of fem seeds. Last ones to herm on me where big Buddha blue cheese and greenhouse seeds white widow.

 

[Dezracer]

I've only had one herm so far, knock on wood, and it was a reg seed so I'm sure it was my fault and not the breeder or strain. My plants have been stressed a bit too with changing the grow op around while having flowering plants.

 

[mr west]

the worst ive had is a few selfed seeds no major cross pollination or owt

 

[justlearning73]

I am taking the cautious route. He is not only from out of town, he is from another country. I know the guy he is coming over with and as I said, he is pretty close....so I seriously doubt he would be going on holiday with someone he didn't know too well. They are here for a few days so I am going to meet them first and then see what I think of the guy....then decide. I am sure he is as good as gold but you never know....I am not sure why he would want to grass me up, not much to gain for him, especially if he is growing....anyway, thanks guys for the replies.

DST

DST-I have heard of people meeting up off this site. Never meeting in person or anything. You on the other hand have a friend who knows this guy. Meet up somewhere like i dont know the grey area and see for yourself about the guy. If he rubs you the wrong way just tell him you dont feel comfortable with him coming over or just have it set up with your wife to call at a certain time and give you an out if you need it. Just a thought....

 

[mcpurple]

That wormpje was giving me cravings, ,lol. well it's not quite 4:40, but 14:20ish will need to do....

this hash I made from my outdoor smells like chocolate!!! (middle lump)

anyone for a cuppa?

dam D that hash looks bomb.
you should try the hash joint

 

[GNOME GROWN]

took 11 clones of the sharks breath lastnight! lets hope they all make it

 

[Dezracer]

One dog is now standing and the other is trying to pop out of the shell still but it's most of the way out of the soil. Getting excited...

 

[3eyes]

DST if your not sure about this geezer just take him to the cannabis college he can learn a bit in there, every body should limit access to their grow rooms to limit exposure to pests, mites can travel in on clothes.
I visited the college in August and ended up helping to educate a guy from New York and a German fella when i was smashed quite enjoyed myself too lol

 

[Heads Up]

DST, here's my take on the issue my friend, if he's a fellow grower with any kind of experience at all, all he needs is to talk with you, he shouldn't need to see anything. If the guy does have a hidden agenda, of course he's going to be nice as hell to you. Why take the chance on someone you don't even know?


There is so much stuff going on here it's sometimes hard to keep up. Take a bow six hundred members, collectively we have the best thread on RIU and enough porn for everyone. For all those I missed or did not comment upon over the last several pages, great work guys.

So let me add my little bit to the mix. Here's the current state of my room. Talk about makeshift, I have plants at three different stages, two groups are at different weeks of flowering and the rest are starting their 12/12 schedule. I am thrilled with the outcome of my first cloning.

 

[Heads Up]

mr west, how long do you need to let that mash sit in the alcohol?

 

[genuity]

likeing the group shot

they look so happy.

 

[wally nutter]

it would be damn cool to someday havea banquet or something. meet the man or woman behind foliage

 

[Dezracer]

mr west, how long do you need to let that mash sit in the alcohol?

I know you weren't asking me but, it depends on what you want to get out of it. If you want oil or a tincture it needs to soak for a couple of weeks to a month and it needs to be shaken a couple times each day. Then you strain it and evaporate the alcohol off. What you want determines how much you let it evaporate.

Correct me if I'm mistaken anyone....

 

[Dezracer]

I like that shot as well. You've got a big room there too.

Sounds like all these "close" friends sure do like to talk.....how does he even know you grow??? JMO

 

[genuity]
