[cruzer101]

+rep... read the whole damn thing,, one sitting,,, my eyes are sore , my ass is sore , and I feel like you&max are family now.... going to bed... thx for the journal...

Ha! I really do know how you feel, I do that too.
Welcome bud, pull up a chair.

wow your plants always look so healthy Cruz, not counting spiders!

Well, not always but I try.

Holly molly Cruze those plants look just amazing talk about some beautiful shades on them!! Dont see that happening to much with indoor garden setups but fuk the outdoors always brings some crazy colors. Cant stop looking you should make a poster of one of this pics, a site to remembered! Great work man the green house is doing her job.

I keep all my pics. Actually I only use about 10% of what I take. I got 5 cd's full of them.

Cruzer those plants look amazing! I'm so happy I found this thread.

Yeah, and I think I gave him an idea to break out his multi-site Water Farm can't wait to see that shit go down

mmm water farm farm inside a greenhouse my vision for years lol beast scrog them bitches back and throw em in the waterfarms in the GH and watch em go like crazy lol

OK guys, This is my hydro storage shed.
I gotta dig it outta here. See the stack of them in the back?

LOL, I never throw anything away!

I cut down all the soil girls this morning and I'm trying to get the g13 in there before the playoff's today.

Hell ya Cruzer congrates on another beautiful harvest! Love the Hydro storage shed lol.

 

[gumball]

damn you could build 3 more greenhouses and not have to buy anything but the greenhouse!!! i try not to throw anything away either, unless i know it is either easily or cheaply replaceable!!! i cant wait to see what kind of shit you're thinking of doing with that waterfarm maybe a waterfarm versus smart pot during the summer

 

[HotPhyre]

Nice bro cant wait to see the new ladies set-up and the old ladies dryin.

 

[cruzer101]

Here ya go,

Got it done just in time, Games gonna start pretty quick.

Good idea, Waterfarm VS. Smartpot
Cant do it for a while cause all these girls are in soil this round but sounds good to me.

 

[NONHater]

So jealous bro...just so damn jealous lol.

 

[HotPhyre]

So jealous bro...just so damn jealous lol.

/agree

...thats all i got

looks great how many plants you plan on doing in the GH during the summer, 4-6? i cant remember what you did last summer, cause I know you lost a few before flower, and maybe 1 or 2 after flower. there were bunches of ups and downs, i do remember that seems like you started with 8 and ended for 5 or 6. but i do remember you saying you were going to start them later in the spring/summer to control growth

 

[cruzer101]

Yea, that's right. I started with 12 clones though, then killed like 9 of them and replaced them the first week when I had that hydro leak on me. Then lost 3 that flowered early and never turned back, Pulled those, lost a couple to spider mites, then finished with seven. Yea, I figured 4 large plants in 10 gal smart pots vegged into a screen for next summer. Start them a month later to help control size. So I figure I will start with eight and end up with four.

The water farms will have to wait till next winter. I'm afraid they would get rootbound vegging so long.
I can fit 6 in my cab so I can veg them up in there.

cruz i was wondering why do you dry the whole plant like that,

opposed to cutting the fan leaves triming all but the buds and hanging up the remaining buds on stems?

 

[cruzer101]

Actually I didn't have time but I am also thinking of what I learned here recently.
As a plant drys, if it has some fan leaf the nitrogen (I think is what it is) will help ripen the trichomes. Maybe not the fans attached to the stalk but close to the buds. Riddleme dried some wrapped up, some kind of fermentation process that got all the trichs amber. So I'm messing around, lookin for a happy medium. I left the leaf on some last harvest and it was easier to trim too, once I got the hang of it.

 

[gumball]

i can vouch for riddleme's process, from reading his threads i was able to somewhat mimic what he did on my last harvest, and the bud tasted real nice only 5 days after cutting it. I put it in the jar and it didnt improve much past that. wife even said it was tasty!!!

cruz i was wondering why do you dry the whole plant like that,

leaving the leaves on serves several purposes, most importantly supplies the plant with N to effect the fermentation process, cradles and protects the buds/trichs and slows the drying process (although just a bit)

my research ditty on it is here
https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/316301-calling-all-noob-growers-11.html#post4275236

you can go back a few post for the ditty on oxidation understanding both processes will explain a lot

 

[lonestand]

thanks riddle,

I'm in the process of reading through all your posts, then I'm gonna tackle Uncle Ben's a lot of great information out there from you guys, if only i had time to read it all lol. thank you very much for taking the time over the last few years to share and help others.

I have in fact read through your noob thred, so far i have one question for you (understanding that your goal is to use the plants natural instincts and the signs the plant gives to tell what the plant needs)


one thing i wasn't' clear on is that when you do make it rain how much water do u use roughly? i do understand that each plant is different and requires a different amount but when you make it rain are we talking about a gallon or more water being used here average. One

thing that sticks in my head is when it rains nature uses a ton of water, so this makes me ask didn't uncle Ben say a plant is not a toilet don't flush it?


also i was wondering can a new MH bulb 6500k color temp be used in place of a CMH bulb or is it better to use the HPS for flowering, i plan to make my next bulb a cmh, but for now i have the MH or hps.


thanks again everyone who supports this site!

now if i was to think about mother nature here i would think the light that looks more like the sun would be better than the fake yellow HPS light?

 

[riddleme]

Don't want to jack cruzors thread, at work now will pm you later

 

[lonestand]

sorry cruz

i just figured others may have the same questions

 

[cruzer101]

No harm done bud. You just getting started, that how we all learn internet protocol.
It is an interesting subject but generally when posting questions about a thread its best to ask the questions in the thread the info came from. Helps keep things on track. See how riddleme left a link to the info? That way people who are interested can go check it out. No sense in repeating everything here.

Got the light mover up,

Not really needed on a sunny day but it does light up in between the rows pretty good.

cruz

i noticed your plants are showing yellow leaves, is it possible to keep the plant completely green through out its life? or do u just have to deal with yellow leaves during flowering no matter what you do?
