you may need to order the 30x jewelers loupe from the www. i discovered that many jewelry shops only stock the 10x ones; if they stock them at all. several jewelers stated they need to "order" them. However, 20x and 10x power still work fine. I'm using my 10x power now because I left my 30x at...

Next year right? I will have my system design posted here soon and you can compare and contrast. I know that tree growing is for a limited selection of growers only but we still need a good system to do it with!

Yes; the idea is to keep a relatively small footprint while maximizing production. The pot you see pictured is just the test system. The version I'm working on now has two grow-sites per system. Each with its own 10"Wx20"D pot and internal root-soaker system. My idea is a "personal" outdoor...

Might have been a little heat stress as well. Were the plants in direct sun all day or were they in partial shade? Almost all plant growth stops at temperatures beyond 85 degrees. I lost two myself in July when Sacramento got our 105 degree plus spell. Classic mistake!

Moon Dust (19-8-13). I recently discovered the stuff and wow, I'm very happy with how simple it is to use and how much the plants seem to thrive on it. It's an "all-in-one" with no need to change nutes. The stuff is also bio-active with some really bitchin stuff for the root system. Check it out...

I recommend going to your nearest jewelry store (or call first) and buy a jewelers loupe - preferably 30x power. If they only have 10x, or 20x buy it anyway. They will work too. You're really only concerned with the "age" of the trichomes; really nothing else. They are those tall-skinny rod...

Three weeks "old" yesterday. I'm force flowering using a new system I'm designing. Keep you eye on me because I'm going to post everything about it soon. Yours for free! Trust me, you want this. Next year I hope to be harvesting the dankest outdoor on the planet beginning in June.

Something short and bushy like Hash Plant, Afghan, Hindu Kush or even GDP. Also, since you already know the wisdom of "tying-down", consider bumping it up a little bit next year and build yourself a "black-out" cover for your raised beds. When its time to flower (can flower as soon as...

My outdoor blue dot grow. The cool nights are doing their thing.

i see you've always had the green talent then! you hit the nail on the head too. water is the secret - you never need to "water" this system. it manages water so precisely that very little of it goes a long ways; and the 2-AA battery operated system is really reliable. the camouflaged...

How do you prevent accidental pollination of surrounding buds when you spot-pollinate for seed production? What technique do you use? Whatever it is, its some pretty neat stuff.

lol...indeed, i'm sure all of that has been tried before...with some success too, but always lots of hard work. i have my fingers crossed that this system will finally crack-the-nut on the age-long quest for tree growing. not so much work but still be able to harvest decent-enough buds...

Please note that I have nothing to sell anyone here in this forum. Although I do design and build custom outdoor growing systems for local growers in my area, my purpose for being here is to hopefully provide free information so growers not in my area can build their own systems or get ideas to...

When I was in the Navy we used to send the new guys out on deck to stand "mail buoy watches". Or down to the engineering spaces to get an "engineer's punch". Not sure why your post reminded me about those days but I thought you'd get a kick out of hearing it!

These are pix of my "control" plant. Both plants are clones from the same mother, planted on the same day. The control plant is flowering "normally" (at least I think, how does she look?). Hopefully the new system I'm working on will let outdoor growers begin harvesting in June (not a...

cause I'm using a little secret...don't worry though...keep watching this thread and i will post the pics.

Hopefully the cooler nights in Sacramento will help produce a purple tinge. How does she look?

Great question. Please take a look at my legal grow in Sacramento. It should be possible for anyone to grow weed like this. This is an outdoor Blue Dot at 3 weeks into flower.

My little GDP clone seems to be loving it up there. Even though I haven't "watered" her since I set this up on August 11th. In fact, I won't need to "water" ever. Sweet little system - I've pretty much been able to forget about it. My next version will have a single "water tank" supporting...
