DST, when you take cuttings you say you put them in water. For how long and do they have any roots at all when you put them into soil? Do you use a humidity dome of any sort and how long once you put the cuttings into soil until they root enough to repot?

Has anyone heard the term upcanning? What it is, it's a method to promote new root growth, particularly new feeder roots. When transplanting, after you have your root ball in your hands, take a razor blade or an exacto knife and starting from the top of the root ball cut downwards to the bottom of the root ball going about a quarter inch into the soil. Imagine you have a pie in front of you and you want to cut it into quarters, that is what you do around your root ball, cut in four places and then re-pot.

Will a 600 watt raise suspicion on an electric bill?
If it does what does twelve hundred watts raise? I say it raises damn good weed, that's my humble opinion. As long as you pay your bill you should be good to go. Do you really think your electric company is going to complain if you have to pay them more every month?

Not really no, if you live in small apartment I would say it is going to add about 30-40% on your bill. Start turning stuff off, shut down computers, buy low cfl energy savers for your house lights. I had 2 150w bulbs in my living room, I replaced them with 2 x 23w cfls, dimmable (my arse). But hey, my wife has them on constantly because her eyes get bad so we have just saved 250w...more lights for growing, mahahahaha...

Little gnats, this one died a happy death! Nice looking trichs Duchie! Looks like you got some amber going on there.

That's funny D, I didn't even notice the little bugger there. My wife was rushing me out the door the get our daughter, and I was so stoked to have some nice crystally pics to show that I didn't even see it when I cropped. And I think your right. I think now that if I could die any way I wanted, it would have to be stuck in a sticky forest of trichomes as big as Sequoias.

How bout some Purp?

^^^beautiful little plant....is that 12-12 from seed or is that a clone with no veg???^^^
She vegged for a couple of weeks and for some reason I topped her right above the 1st node. She took forever to sprout anything and even then only from 1 side. She ended up growing straight up, as if just resuming the main stem. But then she split in three, started picking up speed and health to where she's rockin now! I even spluffed some lower buds with Jack Hammer pollen, just for fun. She's day 47 12/12 now. I'm getting ready to do a soil mix up and also pop the last 3 of these tonight, as well as the last 4 Heri's I have. I burnt the other 4 stupidly.

Halloo my demi-dodeca-double-naught bretheren!
I just got confirmation from guitarcenter.com that my new audio card has been shipped and will be arriving tomorrow!
So my little vids will soon be having soundtracks worthy of being muted by discerning audiophiles the world over!
I ordered an M-audio "Audiophile 2496" and an S/PDIF cable so I can hook up my bass guitar through my GT-10B fx pedalboard to my computer using a nice & clean signal through the S/PDIF port.
Has been frustrating to record with the USB cable from the GT-10B (provided a muddy and weak sound), and am really stoked to finally be able to record clean sound the way I hear it in my headphones (I'm an apartment dweller, so headphones are my only option for listening to music and/or playing my bass unless I want trouble with the landlady and/or police).
S/PDIF will give a perfectly clean digital signal, so I'm excited to get the card in my computer and hear what it can do.
Going to be so nice to finally be able to record my "noodling" sessions so I can save and rehearse riffs & phrases to expand them into songs.
So, this video is the last one without music. I made it a few days ago but didn't post it due to no narration, so was going to record some kind of bass playing for it, but the quality of the sound when recorded through the USB port or the Line In sucks worse that a bucktoothed whore with a bad case of hiccups.

This is the card in question (M-audio "Audiophile 2496"):




And here is my final soundless grow video (except the "whoosh" of air from my intake fans, exhaust fans, and circulating fan):
(*from March 28*: 21 days of 12/12 for the 3 topped plants, 8 days 12/12 for the single non-topped plant, and 9 days since cuttings were taken to start the clones)

Peace!

Some sick looking plants, Duchie! ("sick" like the youngsters say these days: as in suh-weet! )
That purp really rebounded and is looking delicious!
All of them are looking dynamite!

Like most said, would the power company complain about more power consumption? no. If the power usage is at question, its usually due to records being subpoenaed. by the police. which in that case, youre already under surveillance...
Exactly. My problem is that 600s are like Lay's potato chips, bet you can't have just one.

Hi Heads up, I just put them in water to give them some direct h20 to suck up before they go into soil (it's only like 10-20minutes in water) Then straight into soil. I just found that they seem to last a little bit longer without as much yellowing. The clones are generally all rooted within 10 days I would say max (i.e roots coming out the bottom)

Upcanning sounds similar to root trimming...I guess it's like LST, can also be called Supercropping, basically the same thing. I can imagine this provides a great root structure similar to the air pots.


If you can make the sun shine more in Holland, then I am interested.....
If you guys are concerned about the maintenance costs, power consumption and using two lights for vegetative and growth stage then change to induction lighting or even LEDs! I am willing to proove my point if anyone is interested in it them PM me!!

Hey there peoples, it's Friday once again, woohoo. Hope you al have a good one.

Peace and sunshine to all,

DST

Upcanning = repotting in a larger pot. Uncle Ben and Bricktop, those two staunch ambassadors of weed growing, use the term. I find it a little affected. Repotting works for me!

Hello everyone, I have been gone for a while just kind of lost in my own little world. I have harvest most of my last run, with half of the motavation still hanging waiting for a trim and the SAD still in the tent waiting to be chopped. Probably monday for that. After that I have some transplanting to do, time to move the Bubba Kush, Vanilla Kush, Heribei, and Headbands to the flowering tent and hope for female on everything. I got in on the Emerald Triangle Seeds promo that Attitude is having, hopefully they turn out to be a good company as their strains sound fantastic. I ordered some Lemon Diesel and Mastodon Kush from them to go along with their freebies, which are Grapefruit Krush, Super Sour OG, and Emerald Jack. They all sound nice, and I almost ordered a pack of the Super Sour OG but figured I would give the free one a go first then if I like that I would probably reveg it and not buy the seeds again anyway. I still have those autos packed up and ready to go out the door, so if the person I offered them to still wants them just pm, sorry about the lazyness. All I need to know is if your address is still the same. How about some info on the buds I harvested recently huh? Galaxy from Pyramid Seeds is some good shit, it has a cheesey funk to it with a fruity background, which comes through in the taste. The buzz is mostly in the head with a bit of body to even it out. I would give it a 8 out of 10. Wappa from Paradise Seeds is a very nice indica with great medical qualities. It kicks my nausea's ass which is fucking awesome. The smell and flavor and kind of piney and earthy, a very classic indica smell and flavor. I would give it a 9 out of 10 mostly due to its medical qualities. Rocklock from DNA, I have 2 different phenos to smoke on, one has a flowery funky smell to it, which is kind of nice, the taste is kind of earthy with a bit of pine, a mostly body high with a little bit of head to it 7.5 out of 10. the other pheno I havent smoked yet but it smells like some dank. A pungent and sweet smell, not a special smell just smells like some killer bud. MK Ultra clone, I haven't smoked anything from my clones yet, but the MK has a metallic hint to it, very unique smell, just not a very strong one. The Warlock from Magus Genetics is ok, but not great. It has a sweet fruity smell to it, but the taste is kind of bland. That is my fault, I killed the potency and flavor by overdrying. It wasn't terribly dry, but much dryer than it should have been before it got into the jars. I would give it a 6 out of 10, mild and not very medical but better than mid grade, I might just make some money off of this, as it doesnt help my stomach very well. But many people would be happy with it. Ok I have talked enough. Just a bit of an update, and me saying hello after being gone for a bit. I hope everyone is doing well. Take care Club 600.

Yeah sorry about that man, I have a question for you though. How has the second generation of DOG Kushes been going? I got some of the originals and you said the others were from a new batch. So do you have any pics from the new the seeds? Are they as good as the original set? Just wondering as I will be starting some of them soon for my next run. It should be a nice run with DOG Kush, Mastodon Kush, Lemon Diesel, and maybe a Super Sour OG or Grapefruit Krush.

All sounds A fuelly kush-tastic ride.

I haven't done any yet to be honest, OD and I think all the lads have the 1st gen ones. So would be interesting to see what happens? I've just been cloning from my original DOG.
