"Closetgrowth's 2200 watt dwc hydro/soil grow" :)

Hello Rollitup!! Wazzzup?? Long time eh?

Yes, its been quite a while since Ive logged on to this site. Im quite sure alot of the old school growers remember me. I have posted a few huge ass journals which have been viewed by many throughout the grow world... 80,000 plus views on one of my journals if i remember correctly. I post many pics and i try my very best to answer all questions and lend a hand to anyone who asks.

Anywho, .. Been growing since 98', and a few of my plants have made it in High times, and Cannabis culture. I have had a few Medical Marijuana forums in the past and i get into growing the biggest and baddest Mj plants around. Always experimenting, always trying to achieve maximum yields. Im a dedicated Medical Marijuana grower. You will see.

I made a strain called the Glass Slipper back in the day(Cinderella 99f1 x Northern Lights 5?), and im still growing her today. The best strain i have ever smoked..No bragging intended.

I enjoy dwc hydroponics, and i play in dirt once in a while.

Currently i grow in a 12x12x12 room with dual 48" Vertizontal reflectors with 2 1000 watt hps hortilux eye lamps. I run lumatek 1000 watt ballasts on "Super Mode" at all times. And i run a 600 watt Lumatek in the veg room with a diamond lumen arc 3 reflector. I have a dehumidifier, and multiple fans along with a can fan 33. I grow Glass Slipper, Black Rose, Elephant Bud, and just started to veg a strain named "Tangerine Dream".

Currently, Iam growing 8 plants under the dual thouies. 3 dwc, and the rest soil. I have a 12' ceiling so the taller the better! .. lol!

Experimenting with Jack's classic ferts once again(jack's dynamic duo", .. and my hydro is always running Jack's professional hydroponic nutes. I have used almost every fert/nute out there, and STILL think the Jack's brand is #1. Jack's used to be called "Peters" back in the day, and i will tell you IT ROCKS!!! Try it, you'll like it!!

I do not use air stones in any of my veg/flower buckets, and i run a 280 watt air pump that helps in giving my ladies extremely healthy root zones, and maximum yields.

Iam all about the KISS(Keep it simple) method, and i do not use any ph up or down anymore, and i normally get awesome results. Less is more. Remember that.

I run the show my way, out of the box,.. and will include lots of pictures to prove my growing abilities.

Stay tuned, i will be posting alot of cool shots of yesteryear, and my current grow.

If there are any members out there who remembers old CG, please post up, and say hello! Like to hear from you!!

I have thousands of pics in the vault, but here are a few old school shots that was easily accessible. Will grab the digital cam and show you all whats cooking today. Stay tuned.

WooHoo! I am glad that you jumped right back in!

I could really use 12 ft ceilings! Been pretty busy and veg'ed these girls a bit too long! Hehehe



I guess I should Flip them to 12/12 BEFORE they hit the ceiling?

Welcome Home my Friend!

Peace

Woooohooo cant wait to see what you got bring it on, so far u pics r looking good, hey medscientist i have that same problem need 12 foot ceilings bad

Hey Thanks guys

Yea, having them tall ceilings come in handy. Put up this room within a huge garage, and harvested a couple of crops already. Came out fantastic!!

I wanted to post some new pics tonight, but got involved with other things. ill try my best to get something posted by tomorrow.

Have a good one, and happy tokes!!

WooHoo! MAJOR Defoliation Completed and switched to 12/12! WooHoo!

Need to pick up some plant wire to permanently tie her down!

Its tommorrow, where them pics? Hehehe jk



Peace

The medscientist gettin down!!!!

Here's a few pics that i took the other day on mah camera phone... like 13 days in...

I'll get the full view for ya all real soon. Peace

I want to say... I recently Harvested a couple Tangerine Dreams for the 1st time, along with a Virgin run of HOG and Trainwreck, and ALL 3 are KEEPERS!

Taste, Smell, Medication Factor, and the BEAUTIFUL way she Grows is WHY you will end up perpetuating Her Toooo! Time for ME to TRY to eliminate some Strains to FIND a CORE 6! I didnt expect all 3 to be AWESOME!

I have been running Jacks Pro Hydro nutes for ALL my Soilless Systems for 2 years + now, and have nOT looked back, except to Show its Performance to others, and many have converted! I started getting GREAT results in 12/12 by 1/2'ing the CalciumNitrate and adding Bloom Boosters and Carbs. Do you run the same formula from start to finish, or do you Embelish the jrpeters formula?

I am also curious about the Elephant Bud? Long ago I pitched in with a few other local Growers and purched the "Jedi" from the same Breeder (I Believe) and it SUCKED! Every single one Hermied early! I did germinate a branch of EVERYTHING I had running at the time, and it enhanced the Strains I grew out, without any inherited hermy tendencies. But it WAS my 1st and LAST seed purchase, which is FINE! I help enough Local LEGAL growers that NEW Strains are ALWAYS finding ME, usually with a Sample of their Harvest!

Peace, LOVE and MMJ... What else is there (that matters)? Thanks for SHARING!

Hello Med, How are ya?

Yea, had a friend grow out the tangerine dream and i must say, the buds i seen were nice and full. The only problem is, The flowering time was kinda long.. 13 week average. I'm used to them 52-60 day strains. After doing research, some growers that grew Td will finish in under 60 days? Hmmm, I dunno. I guess i'll run em once, and see what happens.

Ok, about the Elephant Bud. It is definetely the highest yielding strain i have ever ran across. She will take lots of food, and put a big ol' smile on your face around the 40 day mark, and it doesnt slow down til day 60.. Kinda tall and lanky. But, with a good support stake, They will blow your mind. The buds are slightly on the fluffy side, and when you give a med patient an 1/8th.. It looks like one,.. A damn good one!!

Their are alot of elephant crosses out there. I prefer the "real deal" Elephant.. The original. I gave a buddy of mine 4 of my favorite pheno's and he fucked em all up.. I thought the dude was gonna make mothers, .. he didnt. Pissed me off to say the least.

I then searched for some elephant clones on craigslist. After about 3 months some guy replied and swore up and down he had the original elephant bud. I met him and grabbed 2 of them. Grew em out, and they didnt have the super yields of the elephants i once had. They even looked different.

But, i think i figured out what happened. I was using GH nutes in soil, and in dwc,.. and they didnt kick em in high gear like the Jack's Ferts, or Nutes. I will not mess with GH nutes any longer. Since I bought the "dynamic duo" ferts(grow and bloom) my plants took off!!

Yes, Im fucking with soil too. Can you believe it. My best plants were soil grown, and so i wanted to see if i could bring back the past. Afterall, they were contest winners when the peters ferts. were applied.

The gh flora series nutes are Ok,.. but not superior by any means. But, I go back and forth, and experiment on a daily basis. So far, Nothing beats the Jack's brand.. NOTHING!!! And by the way, I use 1/4 teaspoon of Jacks Hydroponic nutes in veg per gallon, along with 1/4 teaspoon's worth of calcium nitrate, and up the dose to 1/2 teaspoon in flower. I dont use any ph up or down anymore and my plants look WAY better. And airstones?? You know me med,.. Wouldnt use them motherfuckers if someone bought em for me, they absolutely suck ass!! ..lol

Ok, here's a happy ending, ready for this?.. I went to the same guys house where i dropped off the original elephant clones, and I find out his neighbor across the street actually rooted one of my elephant clones!!! I told dude, not to give my elephants out to anyone, did he listen. Oh hell no!!

Make a long story short, I got my original Bad boy elephant back in the mix, and happy as can be!!!! Just shows you, who in the hell can you trust???

My Glass Slipper strain is still #1, Then comes The elephant Bud #2, then the other elephant pheno is #3, and then comes the Black rose. BR Looks real pretty and, but a serious biotch to grow, not a big yielder,.. basically a fussy ass whore. But, once you dial her in, the bag appeal is worth all the trouble.

Thats it for now.. Im real tired.. Hope i made sense. Had 2 gaming computers to build ... Their finished, and so am i. Long ass night. Thanks for the reply. ttyl.

Peace

I let my Tangerine Dream go about 60 days, I ALWAYS pull BEFORE Ambering (I am NATURALLY Lazy), but 60 days coincided with my vacation. I am NOT dissapointed if I pulled early, cause at 60, it IS TOPS!

I still have the Trio of GH @ 2.5 Gallons each UNOPENED. I probably should sell it on craigslist! I WONT be using it!

Glass Slipper sounds AWESOME! I hope it makes its way to Michigan! WooHoo!

Charge up that Camera while you take a nap! Its BAD enough you took an extended vacation, but I am having WITHDRAWALS!

Peace and LOVE to ALL (past-present-future)

Ok, i went inside my flowering dungeon a few minutes ago, and took a grip of shots... 21 days flowering Black Rose, and Elephant Bud ... 12 foot ceiling, dual thouies running 1100 watts a piece(super mode), 280 watt air pump running 3 of the ( 5 gallon buckets, No air stones, no ph up or down... dwc and dirt..Tap water. Take a look at the blackberry bush picture. This is what happens when ya dump out the Jacks hydroponic nutes outside.. Turns everything into straight up MONSTERS!! LOL! Peace.

Im having technical difficulties uploading pics... I think ill fire up the Alienware.

21 daze into flowering

Well, i changed pic format.. and still getting that red exclamation point next to the pics im trying to upload.. Moderators help!!!

Still no go... Guess I'll find another forum to post my journal. L8tr

Dont be SILLY! Or then again, its OK to be Silly, but if you think I will loose contact with you again....??? I am NOT an IT Guy, but I will find someone to Guide you if I need to! I still dont know how to start My own Photo Album here yet, so I just upload to the Posts. But if you are SERIOUS about it, Google "MedScientist", and meet me there?

I can REALLY appreciate the size of your Grow Space, it gets frustrating trying to do what you do, in a 4.25'w X 7.5'l X 8'h walled room with limited access from 1 doorway! I can get Pretty Creative when I need to! Its not pretty, but this should help maximize MY 2nd 1000w light, and perhaps increase the yields on the Purple Royale Tree against the wall? For some reason, most all of the branches were growing in a tight bunch, leaving too much available light space, so I took a bamboo stick and used it to tie/pull down half the branches directly under the light. I look forward to seeing the upward bend as she re-adjusts!

Its difficult to tend to the 2 plants under the far 1000w HPS, I need to find a way to Re-Defoliate them again to Open up the Budsitez! WooHoo!



Learning how to post pics should be a BREEZE compared to what I deal with DAILY!

You ROCK! <<<< Take 2 of these, it ALWAYS works for ME!

Peace
