what kinda camera do you need to take pics of the tricombs cruz? mine wouldent get anywhere near that close. they look like they have just entered the window to me.

so did you get an electric trimmer this year lol
No man, still doing it by hand. I've gotten pretty good at it. I think if I had a larger grow I would do it but I got this handled.

The camera, funny thing I bought a more expensive camera and had trouble with it, when the outside temps changed the dam thing had a safety in it where it would lock it until the pressure stabilized or something screwy like that. Anyway I searched for a point and click with super macro. Not just macro. I found this cannon A480 for like $100 on ebay. It's a great little camera, need a tripod to use the super macro though. I do my vids with it too.

Good luck with the dehumidifier! I really hope it helps, and isn’t that cool about the guy on Craig’s list, thanks for helping keep them butties alive hehe

Soo I got a question for you Cruz, how abnormal is it to get a seed here and there in your grows, I seem to always have 1 - 4 seeds from a harvest of 4 total plants. but i can never find the male flowers. Unless I have found them and just don’t recognize hermi.

Yeah I use a cannon a 530 but it has no "super macro" setting.
Garden is looking great cruzer, sorry to see the mold :-( makes my stomach turn. But atleast it wasnt all a loss, looks quality for sure.
I had a good chuckle at the meeting another riu member randomly lol. How did he know who you were? odd.
Anywho, keep it up.

I hear ya, with just macro I used a magnifying glass in front of the lens. Its the super macro feature that works. That guy I got the dehumidifier from, Caligrown, He said he only used it for a couple months, we started talkin about growing, I told him I was going to use it this winter in a small greenhouse I built. He just guessed. I got a chuckle out of it myself.

Hey negro, I decided on soil for a couple reasons, First is I like the taste/stone better then hydro. Second is I got all summer to veg in there so I don't need to grow quickly.
I have several hydro grows under my belt so I do know the difference. The other thing is humidity, with hydro I will have a lot more water around and temps in there on sunny days is around 100° However I am considering converting a waterfarm 8 pack I have to an undercurrent system for my winter grows where I can use a dehumidifier and not worry about the extra heat. I could use faster growth and will just deal with the taste of the finished product.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just thought I would mention that dehumidifier works awesome.
I been running it at night in the shed and have had to empty the container each morning cause its almost full. That's set at 55% and the fan at the medium setting. The buds are drying out much quicker, they feel like they been hanging for four or five days in just two days. Guess I should have the fan on low but I felt the air moving and its not blowing directly on the buds.

My winter grow, well the first round anyway, is mostly Tangerine Dream. I've had them in the cab for a few days now and they are stable so I pulled them out, trimmed them back and hit them with floramite. They have spidermites and have been over fed. Par for the course I guess. Looking forward to some new genetics.

I am burning a headband doobie right now. Some stuff I grew in hydro last winter. Pretty dam good stuff. Not a big hitter, like expansion but smooth and does the job.

So, like I figure if I buy four of the growing chambers alone I would have 12 total with the 8 I have. Then make a tray for 6 of them, veg in the cab using drip rings to water. Once they are large enough I move them by just moving the growing chamber to the greenhouse where I have taken six of the eight waterfarms and converted them to an under current system. With six months of 12 hours or less and some supplemental lighting I should be able to pull off three harvests.


Hum, wheres that roach?

Your full of ideas, it must be the intelligence headband you've got!! I cant wait to see this winter :D

Gotta get the roof down first...

Yea, I have come up with three ideas for the roof.



Black is what I got, Red is what I want and blue is what I will probably end up with cause of the over head wires.
I'm thinking I can make three sections that will lift up about a foot when needed for summer grows then close it for the winter. If I dig holes and start a month later with indica dominate strains that should do it.

Oh yea, I cut the last of the train wreck down today, wasn't very much. I guess I had cut more then half of what was there already.
Then l figured I would cut off some of the lower branches on the tangerine dream that didn't look like they were going to do anything and I didn't see the end of one of them just thought it was buried under the canopy but when I pulled it out there was a fucking cola as long as my arm at the top. Dammit. Gone now.

yeah thats frustrating, but gratz on the awsome cola!

I think you could make you roof 20 feet tall cruz and you will end up growing a pot redwood that needs a higher roof...

lonestand that is funny as hell!!!!! I remember last year he had a 7 or 8 foot tall bottom cola, ya know those little stems that grow out of the bottom!! It grew to the top with all the other main cola's, that was great!!!

I like your ideas!! But your right, and you said it already. if you cant go up or out, you got to go down! One option would be to go ahead and dig out 2 foot over the next winter. Backfill with about 6 inches of something for drainage like pebbles or whatever suits your fancy. But then lonestands problem would reverse and expand! The roots would dig in deeper and cause the plants to grow even more!!!

I will see what I can pull out. My outdoor buds look bigger than my outdoor, but my royal kush colas can be pretty, but pretty small too!

Cool man,
Tang'es is in the house alright but you said indoor cola and I don't wanna cheat. I threw up a pic of a Bubba cola from my last cab grow.
