Thanks alot fellas I was in a bit of a rush when i posted all that lol. I promised my wifey to be id take her out snowboarding today at the local ski resort. It was her first day on a snowboard but she did very well. I just gotta say people if you want to have some good clean fun go shred up a mountain and have ya a good ole smoke out and a few cocktails hehe. And you really meet some cool down to earth folks at the same time. Just a really great waste of time hahaha. :)

Ok so back to the grow. Ill have to check my notes but im sure im 2 weeks in flower so not alot to show other than its going to get mad crazy with bud sites here in the next few days. Lastnight was a late one for me, I stayed up till my fkn eyeballs where near bleeding trimming up sucker branches below the canopy that likely wont get much more than popcorn buds, and in a flat garden its just best to pluck all the lower leaves bud sites ect down to the stem and divert the plants energy into the top canopy. I still have alot more to do, its hard to get in at the plants in the back and me being a large mother fucker hahaha. Ill have to get in there one way or another to finish the job.

As of now the plants in the hydro setup have really started sucking up the nutes and im slap out of Dutchmaster flower B and ph down. Ive had the same mix in the garden now for 12 days and ive been checking every other day for ph and ppm reads. All is well, Ive got the flower B on wheels along with ph down. Ive been using distilled white vinager which seems to work well. Ive also heard its not a good idea to use for long just a feed or 2. It does not take much either just a splash can ph correct my 55 gal res with tap water ph at 8.9 down to 5.5

Same can be said aswell of the powder ph down. It dont take much and its reasonably cheap to buy. I dont really know why its not good to use vinager for the whole grow??? hmmm

On another note my power bill is been about $160 - 180 Thats not to bad im thinking im going to add another 600 or possibly the 1000 watter. I know im a 600 man and 600 are def the better option. 1000 watters get really fucking hot. I do have both to play with though so i dunno well shall see when the really intense cold weather gets here in a few weeks i may be able to bare bulb both and keep it cozy in the cave hehe.

Aight peace out :peace: 1BMM

daaaamn that got real full fast 1bmm, :clap: you taken the homemade hood off permanently or just for the photoshoot
Well for now ive taking off the hood. The plants are growing rapidly and the hood is always in my way when i need to get in to water the soil plants. Ive kinda placed it on the floor as a reflective wall along the front side of the garden to help the plants that dont get the most ideal light. Running out of vertical space quickly lol. Hopefully the plants wont stretch to much more or ill be in some shit ah haha.

He sure is and out of 5 he is the shining star of the lot. The balls on him are really odd looking in comparison to the str8 TW male. Quite funky indeed bru.

now that is a stud to put out in the stable 1bmm, if it looks half as good as D's lady version, its a winner!
Yep we were kinda just kicking that idea around donny. I think D's a lil to far in flower at this point to salvage a cut. But there are a few other 600 fellas that have a bean. Hopefully we can pull it off somehow and make that stink monkey something we can share. My stud is going to be a bit yet before he is ready to blow his wad but at the very least Im going to cross the TW with the twxr so if all else fails we will have 1/4 twxr "stink monkey" and 3/4 TW.

I will say fellas with my experience with the clone of TW i grew out before these beans, it was some really overwhelming stank rancid armpit fuely pine chronic.

Im curious to see how this version compares. So far by rubbing the stalk and smelling my fingers it smells like the same gear lol. It also turns some crazy colors right before its ready for harvest which is a plus for bag appeal and overall joy of watching them grow.

At any rate i will save some green sticky white love piss as D would call it lol., from both males. I will have some reg TW beans to come out of this grow for sharing later on.

The Timewarp strain is an outdoor variety generally speaking sos that is one thing ive admired about this strain from the start. Ive persoanlly witnessed 10-12 foot tall purple bushes of tw last outdoor season. They were not my plants unfortunately they were mr gorillas that had grown in horse manure and very very well with hardly any attention given to them at all. A real hardy plant from my observations and they didnt seem to have the grub worm problems the other strains had.

Alright enough of my rambling on haha. Was supposed to start bricking a house today but scratch that as we are getting pounded with snow. A good day i suppose to finish trimming sucker branches from below the canopy. Not looking forward to that task lol.

Im still pondering scrogging the whole works and kinda weaving all the branches out. Id be alot of work and a real pain if something went wrong in the hydro buckets. Hmm going to go smoke a spliff and get a plan together.

Peace 1BMM


Edit hold everything we got us a fe twxr afterall thanks to some good green thumbing from a pal of ours. We shall see if we can work it all out and get a stable version made.

using a 1000w light helped me get rid of 3 heaters that each pulled 1000W ;)

Worked out pretty good, exhuasting the heat into the house for added warmth ;)

1BMM on point! good work man. tx x twxR is going to be some mean green for sure.

in the uk we can only dream of 10-12 ft
Thanks Donny hoping to get something lovely from the mix of the 2. And for outdoor yeah its really the earthly parallel you reside in from my unerstanding. Grass is greener in dif regions thats for sure.

Yes indeed the extra heat is a nice feature so long as the smell goes where its supposed to go ;)

I am thinking about exhausting into the house as well. Why waste it?
Yep if you can its a great idea. I was exhausting into my living room but the smell started coming in with the nice warmth so i had to make adjustments but A OK now.

Well going to go lay bricks in heeps of snow tommorow whay the hell not hahaha.. Aight peace ooooot

what kind of setup do you use for venting into house for heat? I have thought about this. Using a Tee or something with a damper. Do you have to continually scrub the air with this method or leave filter on the exhaust fan as normal?

Well my setup flam Is a lil bit diffrent. I have a large fan and filter to scrub the air unattached from any ducting. Just a huge air scrubber. Then i have a 6" inline to pull the hot air over the lights and out the exhaust which i have setup where i can blow that heat into my living room or if its smelly hot air i can switch it to blow out the chimney stack. I had to reroute alot of shit to make this work though hahaha.

Found sum loose sluffage today on the Timewarp male. I took some advice from DST and put that dude upside down in a sealed up garbage bag. Im wondering though if its a good idea to open an air hole as the plant is going to casue condensation. I think i have an idea for that problem.

If any of you have ever had to work through heeps and piles of snow you likely know how i feel right about now, pooped and ready for a fat ass doober and some hot coco. Peace 1BMM

Do you think it is more effective that way, scrubbing the air internally? sounds like a nice approach! That way smell doesnt pour out when you go in the room.

I doubt its the most energy efficient method in the world but it does work. Most people will hook their carbon filter up inline with their cooltube exhaust fan ect... Normally so would i but i just like to overdo shit sometimes haha, And i really needed a good hardcore air scrubber. My only problem is i cant cut out 8" holes in mt walls for the exhaust ducting. I already had 4" ducting installed when i upgraded but an 8" fan. A fan that big would make 4" ducting howl like a mother fucker. Too many cfm, and with a speed controller the loud buzz sounds almost like a magnetic ballast running. I do try to keep my room legit and very discreet noise and smell wize ;)

Now this setup still aint cutting all the smell and im also running an O-zone gen on its lowest setting. The 8" phresh filter works pretty damn good but the ozone takes care of what the filter cant handle. I tell ya its going to get real smelly over here hahaha. :peace: 1BMM

Well if the plants dont smell, then whats the point? I have some that got ruined by mites and the smell all but went totally away. Not sure if the smoke will be good or not? I have a week or 2 left of flower. Flowering took longer than I thought, might be the bugs slowed it down? At any rate I will be done with them soon enough, and I will never let my girls down again. Sorry for ranting....do you live in an apartment, or you just dont want to cut a big hole in the wall?

Dog clone stripped down as the canopy is so thick the lower branches just dont get shit for light. Just realizing a nice benifit of vertical growing as ive got my toes wet in it. No need to trim up lower branches Im scheming up new ideas for my future grows lol.


This is Timewarp 3 and my small compact pheno of the lot. Shes going to get spluffed with my tw male for a few seeds and breed further from there along with the original cut from this las. Got lots of projects planned hope i have the brain capacity to keep up haha
