Nice cola, my visitor looks on....:mrgreen: was he impressed?
well was he impressed????, that barbag seed looks bit sat dom or is it me?
Well, I'll tell you what. If that was me I'd be extremely fucking impressed. In fact, I'd impressed with the whole damn set up.... and all the plants... and all the buds. That's one lucky son of a bitch visiting you, my man.

And I would also agree that the barbagseed looks mighty sativa. So stretchy. It's gonna be tall.

hehehe.

I just need to look at Barbagseed and she grows another inch!!! ffs, she is soon gonna be hitting the 1m40cm height in my veg tent!!!

Dosed the girls up with full veg nutes and they seemed to appreciate that. The daughter of Thelma is finally getting some colour in her cheeks.:clap:

Happy Mondays......

hahaha lads im talking LEAVES not buds i know you have to leave a bit of bud but i thought you needed the odd leaf
ok, i gotcha, well theres little leaves on the buds natcho, but no fan leaves were left.....(the buds I left didn't have any fans leaves to begin with.) If it works it's a brucey bonus i guess..The leaves and buds that were left are still looking nice...keep looking at it thinking, I could smoke those buds, they look quite dense for a popcorner. If all else fails I can still clone from Thelma's daughters.

In the interim, I have changed my light schedule slightly. My MH400 runs from lights on for 4 hours, then the 600 kicks in as well until tea time, then it's just the 400MH for the last part through until the wee hours (this is in a 18/6 light schedule). The girls don't seem to mind one bit and I prefer doing it this way until I re-do my ducting and airflow for the coming summer months.

Don't know too much about the reflectors, I think if i was not vertical I would probably go for a cool hood. They seem to be quite effective.

I am lovin the greenhouse. My list so far includes:
Broccoli, Cucumber, Ruccola, Iceberg lettuce, Corriander, Strawberries, (just in - Blueberry bush - the wife makes amazing muffins!!!) and a whole load of Cherrry Tomato seedlings, all broke ground now. I also have summer carrots, garlic, and some flowers on the go (tulips, chrysants, and tings) Plus I have sneaked a fe, eh hem's in there as well. The wife hasn't said nixy about them yet (wait till they smell:evil:)

Oh, and just to let you know, I have taken a leaf out yer book and recycled all my coco which is being used for the veggies. They love it!!!!! Will get a pic up when there is some decent veggy porn action on the go.

Peace, DST

i think the cooled hoods are better than the cool tube imo. i seemed 2 get a hot spot under the cool tube in horiz coz of the round magnifying effect of the glass and crappy reflector inside. i find i get more coverage with the aerowing ;)

hope everyone is cool today, going back to work in a bit :( lol

kids get bored in a minute these days....I actually feel sorry for most kids these days, they don't get to run around like we did back in the day....i know my nephews have to spend most of their holidays in and around the house.....bore off. I never saw my house unless I was hungry.....as I ran down the path at 8:30 in the morning with Mum shouting, "are you going to be warm enough!!!"

Well I think Don talks funny, me, my accents totally normal, hahahaha.:mrgreen:

Not sure what collards are, will check them out. What sort of parsley are you growing? I done flat leaf parsley last year and it was about a meter tall, but seeded and then just died on me, trying again with some more this time....there were spatterings of it returning, but no luck. I had an oregano (non edible variety) and that just seemed to spread everywhere!! All my plants seemed to have a bloody non-edible oregano seedling growing in their pot, pain in the arse, especially when you can't use it!!! So I now have an edible oregano (looks exactly like the non-edible variety) and that is also growing like wildfire. Mr outdoor Rosemary has pretty little purpley flowers on it at the moment as well. Interesting. Ah well, enough Percy Thrower'ing from me. Thanks for stopping by Hayduke.

Peace, DST

EDIT: Artichokes eh! Now that is an interesting veg. Never quite got my head around the fact that you only use the heart...tasty though.

So here's the final bounty, the last has just gone into the jars for curing (Thelma Headband- which came in at 61 grams) This brings the total for my harvest to just over 22 zips:eyesmoke: The jars are labelled so if you know my grow you know the jars. Plus there is a delicious bottle of Pomerol 98' for size reference.


This is in a 1.1mx1.24mx2.67m high (3.6'x4'x9') cabinet, vertically grown, with a combo of lights. Started with a 400mh and 600 hps, then switched week 3 of flower to both hps's 600 and 400 respectively. For w to gram ratio we are looking at 0.6g to the watt.

God knows how I am going to smoke all this before my next lock come out, but I am gonna have a might good try:bigjoint:bongsmilie

Peace,

DST
