Vacuum lungs are bad lol. Good thing your gear is too strong. I put a guy out one time on my herb, he was an RIU'r and I thought he could hang. Guess the stuff he grows wasn't that potent and he had a little time on my stuff. Freaked out a little and took off.... ended up driving around for 2 hours lost. He was staying 5 minutes from where we smoked.
Sorry to say I don't think the smoke from this batch is all that good. I'm quite disappointed, but just because I didn't step things up. The quality is still there... just not what I would want. It's like an 8, instead of the 9 I wanted. Maybe the 10 week I take next weekend will do the job.
Also, just something I wanted to say out loud. I might go back to italy to collect a journal I found in an abandoned building. Not sure when, but probably before the baby comes, so before Aug, and probably not anytime around when it's due in case it's early... so probably before June. I can't stop thinking about it.

Italy sounds like a fun excursion.
sorry to hear about your means not meeting your expectations. If I remember, you had a lot of moisture in the room....to where it was dripping. Do you think that might be part of the problem?

There are a few things that were different this run that I think could have contributed. One of them being less airflow than before. Hence the water on the leaves from not evaporating. My thinking is maybe the plants weren't able to transpirate (big word alert, not even sure it's the right word)
FUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKK. I just killed my bong.
Fuck.
Damn.
We'll chat later.

Damn Jig, guess you gotta take money from the italy trip, Baby J. Fresh ain't paying for that, lol.

Lol... think I'll just save the money for something else. I don't use the bong anyways, only comes out when friends are over. The real bummer is the thing was our Engagement piece. Wife bought it for me. She said she'd get me a 'baby bong' to replace it, we'll see.
Thing has lasted over 6 years, not bad for a glass bong. sigh
So about the plants. Less airflow, maybe less action from the less breathing. I didn't use silica this round. Not sure that had anything to do with quality, but maybe quantity. I did the bare bulb thing, so they were absolutely pounded with light like never before... and because of that things were hotter this round than ever before. Plus these are the odd plants who took a month to root, from being rooted already lol.
Who knows. I'm going to retool so next round should be banging. I am thinking 3 options for clones. Visit 209cali for some new BB strains, visit strictly seedless for Dog and Banana again, or I could save some driving and waste some money buying some from my co-op. I don't think I'd actually pay for clones though. I also got another buddy, but don't know if he has any ready for me.

Hey guys. I'm antsy so I think I'm going to go buy some clones. They are just down the road, have great reviews and have a good selection.
I'm thinking either:
Chernobyl - TGA,
Platinum Blue Jack (pre98 x blueberry x jack herrer),
Sour Diesel.
I was looking at their Thai Fire OG too. But think I'd rather do two of the 3 above. Any input???
CHERNOBYL (60% Sativa Hybrid)TGA Subcool Seeds ( Jack The Ripper cross with Arcata Trainwreck )~ 550gm/mUp2 @ 60 DaysWell organized growth, short and bushy, all foliage coated in trichomesPotent Lime Tasting Buds, Pungent Skunky smell
PLATINUM BLUE JACK (THC PLANTS LABS) Genetics: Pre98 cross with DJ Shorts BlueBerry cross with Jack Herer (Sensi Labs)Grows mostly tall and bushy, a Sativa hybrid with extreme potential in both directions when timed properly, will finish heavy laden with CBD if given 65 days, and very early at around 55 days will turn much higher THC values. A tall strain, with extra noticeable vigor outdoors! Taste is one of a kind blue jack with added weight due to platinum kush..~600gm/m2 @ 60 Days
SOUR DIESEL(Reservoirs Original 1992) Classic 90% Sativa ( Chemo cross with Mexican Landrace )This classic diesel pungent aroma mixes with a subtle soothing sour lime flavor, and the resulting effect has astounded and stimulated the mind and body for years and years to come. These plants are extremely hardy, rigid, secure, and well-yielding. Easy to grow, and easy to feed. These buds will swell and achieve a neon-green finish unlike any other flower, and will continue to be profound in the breeding programs of many.~600gm/m2 @ 75 Days
THAI FIRE OG (THC PLANTS LABS) Genetics: Thai Stick (Gypsy Nirvana) cross with Fire OG (OGRaskal’s Fire cut 4Gen Backcrossed)Extremely useful OG hybrid achieving excessive crystallization with a durable indoor / outdoor design. Notable mold and pest resistance. Fire OG was selected only after backcrossing achieved stability. Excellent strain for the grower with patience and adequate grow space.~550gm/m2 @ 70 Days

chernoble sounds interesting. I've recently grown a jack the ripper / jake blues that was an excellant smoke...so much so that I have a clone and she is a permanent part of the grow.

Too late muckers. Already ordered 3 sour d, 3 chernobyl. However, a friend might get a few of those... so I may order others. At least every one seems to agree on the Sour D.
So I'm thinking of running the top level of my tubes.... then not running the bottom, and putting soil plants in. I want to go to soil, but am scared to run a whole grow on soil and have it suck. A question for you guys. Do the shape of pots matter. Like if I made my own square pots that were only 8 inches deep but large in area, is that the same/ worse as a regular shape pot? I'd like to get the most soil using the least height.

I'm hoping for some sour D or strawberry sour d soon. but i did sour D a while back and was impressed with the quality and yield. And in my personal experience, MJ plants like deeper pots, they grow faster in deeper pots. They also like square pots better(the roots do). I'm thinking at 8 inches high is kind of short but idk how much space you want to take up. will it be like a planter? my rule of thumb in these plastic pots i use is an ounce harvest per gallon, but since switching to organic i am missing my mark pretty bad.

As long as there's area for the water to get to I wouldn't worry so much about the shape. Just more on the volume of soil and how long the veg plan is.

Jig, am I mistaken or didnt you start a batch of supersoil a while ago?
And you know Im liking the sound of going soil
(I feel) it would be much easier to cater to the needs multiple strains going. In hydro I didnt mix because some strains feed allot more than others and I didnt want anything being held back because a different strain in the system couldn't handle it.
As for your containers,,,, more roots more fruits is my motto
If they get out of hand you can always train the hell out of them as you go.
