Probably old news to many, but I lead a sheltered life and just found this little news story:

I'm not a big soda drinker...but I might be able to be convinced to start consuming some. I wonder if you could lace coffee with thc?

had to put the 1000w light in the big tent and move the 600 bulb and ballast from that tent over to the small tent. I hooked up the 600 ballast that came out of my veg room when this bulb went out and 30 seconds or so later the bulb in the small tent flashed and went out. Tried the other ballast and nothing. Hooked up the ballast to the other bulb and it worked so I did what I had to do.

Now I have only a 4' t8 light for a 5x5 veg room. Hopefully Jack will be open tomorrow so I can get some replacement equipment. Mo money, mo money, mo money =/
Dez, I was just reading an article discussing the problems with digital ballasts and lamps. Most of the lamps we use run on 60 hertz, I believe. The digital ballasts run at twenty thousand hertz, I believe. It is the difference in the hertz between the ballasts and lamps that causes so many lamp burnouts. Anyway that's what the article basically said. I think? there are lamps made for digital ballasts but I'm too stoned and lazy at the moment to look up the info.

Duchieman, I'm watching your video and smoking some white widow I've had around for a couple of months. It's actually my last bud, the top of the plant. I like to save my tops till last, gives them plenty of time to really cure well. I've grown the widow a couple of times now and have noticed, at least with the plants I grew, there seems to be two different growth patterns. I have not topped any of mine so I can't speak to that point but letting them grow straight up with maybe a supercrop here and there, one of the patterns is just a normal looking plant. The side branching is almost non-existent, all the side buds stay stuck to the main stalk, more or less. The other growth pattern is the one I like, the side branching grows almost straight up and with a bit of supercropping on the main stem, the canopy that develops is amazing. I'm talking foot and a half, two foot long side branches that grow straight up like they are all main colas.

Nice video, I watch these things and curse the gods for just recently letting me out of the cave I have been occupying for the past ten thousand years. Wish I knew how the hell to work today's gizmos.

So here's the gang. Discounting the two plants still in the party cups, someone forgot to tell the one killing field it's supposed to be partying. The other is also a killing field but she is a few days behind the others. Anyway, from top left going down the column, ny47, shackzilla and blackjack. Top right, herijuana x big white, hericules and extrema. The hericules and extrema look very much similar to each other, the extrema is a bit bigger but the hericules is a week behind the extrema, the first bean didn't germinate so I had to do another, hence the lag. These are in three gallon smart post, the biggest I've used to date. I've used one and two gallon post before and have loved the way the root system grows into them.

I'll definitely check them out and will probably order up one or two to keep on hand. I picked up a 600 magnetic andhortilux bulb. I'm going to see if I can get any warranty help on the ballast that went bad.
If you've never used a Hortilux you're gonna be shocked when you see how bright they are compared to the ghetto no namers.....you get the SuperHPS????

The light situation has me concerned about hermies. They weren't in total darkness but it wasn't exactly lit up in the 5x5 either. Considering putting the 12 that are in 1gal pots into 3gal bags and flowering them now. Worried that if I just pit a light back over them and run 18/6 that some may hermie when I do flower them in a couple weeks. I'll keep the bigger plants under 18/6 though so I can take cuttings from them later.

What do you guys think? Are they likely to hermie if I keepvegging the 12 plants for another couple weeks?
I've read where bigtime commercial growers will put the whole crop in 24-36hrs of darkness at the 12/12 flip....kicks em into the flower mode faster....no experience on this....just what I read.

I did get the super HPS and I've heard of people doing that too. I was thinking that if my plants have been thinking it;s dark then this would be a good time to flower them but it sounds like they don't need to be flowered and should still be okay. I really wanted to veg them a little longer in the 3 gal containers so I can use them to replace the plants in the big scrog so this will work out.

If the consensus was that they might hermie I was going to draw the curtain on the 5x5 and flower them in there. I'd just move the reveg Afghan Kush clones and a couple other clones over under the t8 with the seedlings and other clones.

Seems to be here too. Even though the two older ones are both very indica like growth and buds. The two newer ones caught me off guard with that stretch, that's why I decided to go radical on it, and the other branches have really picked it up. I had to tie more branches down today too. It really opens the plant up though for all those branches to grow and flower, and we'll still have to see how they start looking soon. Of the older two, the one that I snapped the branch on and had to let loose is showing more sativa than the other but still has that mostly stalk flowering structure you speak of.

About the technology. While I still think you have a few on me I've still had to play catchup from the time that I asked for a 40 channel base station for christmas. That was about the time Convoy and BJ and the Bear where big hits. But I've worked on it and I'll always say, if I had this when I was younger..Oh! And Whiteline Fever. Breaker breaker good buddy.

Been gone for the weekend so I got some catching up to do. I cut a bud off of my Galaxy Friday, and smoked it with some friends when I got back to my place tonight. That shit is kicking my ass pretty good and she still has a few weeks left. I wish I had taken pics of the bud before I cut it up. This bud has a nice texture, dense but spongey. And super sticky. A piney and fruity smell and flavor. Very nice flavor for no cure at all. Cant wait until she is done all the way, nice hybrid buzz head and body. Kind of making me tired right now after having been smoking only mid grade crap for a week or more. Glad she is falling over from weight, I gotta get in there tomorrow and tie the rest of her top up, along with the Wappa before those buds snap over. They might not be the biggest buds but they have a lot of weight from resin and oils. These are the stickiest, and definitely the most oily plants I have ever grown. I cant say for sure wether or not its the bud candy, but thats what its supposed to increase is the resin and oil production, and this is the first time I have used it, so far, it has proven itself effective to me. Some reading to do now, all kinds of threads to catch up on, and fridays episode of Spartacus Gods of the Arena to watch. Long stoned night for me!!!bongsmilie Oh and my new ash catcher came in, you can see it here, http://www.etsy.com/listing/58230137/pill-bottle-ash-catcher-with-splash
I think its cool the artist uses his most recently made piece as his advertisement. That is my ash catcher in the pics. This artist does great work, and makes the pieces to order. A lot of good artists on that website, and its not just pipes, its all kinds of hand made goodies at pretty good prices. I would check out the glass pipes section though, its got a great selection at great prices in my opinion. Take it easy club 600.

Nice!! Who is the maker? Upon further review of the Galaxy I would have to say the flavor is that of Fruity Pebbles. Oh yeah, good shit. I have been looking for this flavor for a long time. I had some stuff back around 2001 that tasted like this and haven't had any since. That is until tonight. Tastey... back to spartacus.

I have heard nothing but great things about them. I can't wait too see how yours comes out. Whats that going to cost you if you dont mind me asking? I love having something custom made. Direct contact with the glass blower is great. My ash catcher cost me $91 with shipping. Fucking great deal if you look at something like that in a shop or on aqualabs your talking a good $100 more. Etsy is my new favorite place for accessories. They dont have much of a selection for bongs, but all the extras you could want and if they dont have it someone can probably make it for you. Sometimes you don't hear back from certain artists for a long time though...

$300....it's a little more than I wanted to spend...but oh well...It's a fully worked inline so I think it will be worth it...and he uses thick wall glass so I'm guessing it will have some weight....like you said...nothing but good things from Ray at SSFG.....he makes some sick ass tubes too....he will def. be blowing my next tube......he has good portfolio on his facebook....just go to etsy...look in his shop...and he has a shop announcement somewhere with his facebook name.....just friend him and you'll get to see all his work....sic sic sic!!!

My next purchase from him is gonna be a matching showerhead downstem for my current tube to match the inline....Pimping out my 2' ADS

From only 5 hours of low/no light, and they are still in veg? I think they should be fine, just think of it as a cloudy or rainy day in nature.
