The drawing definitely sufficed... Are you throwin' them "yins" in for veg too? Or is this space just flower?

Will you be training them toward the light? How are you going to tame their height?

Thanks for the Q's Scotty.

Okay, so heres the thoughts, for arguments sake lets just assume I will either fim, or top each plant to get 4 heads as close together as possible. Then the plants on the top shelf I will lst two heads that are next to each other and leave two to grop up norm, giving the plant a tiered look. Middle shelf will lst the same way as top, bottom shelf I am still pondering....perhaps just straight colas. Will use loads of canes to manupilute each plant whatever happens. Like McFunk has been saying recently, having a total mesh over the canopy seems a real grind to me. I like to take my plants out and have a good eyeball at them. Give em a bit of loving, but in a normal way, I don't go in there with a dirty mac on or anything like that.

And yup, I will do the growth stage in there eventually - prob next week when I get back.

Cheers,

DST

:lol:"with a dirty mac on or anything"

Alright, sounds like it'll be an interesting grow for sure... lots of experimenting it seems. Looking forward to how well that top shelf tier-ing works out.
Have you thought about (or do you even have space for) another light? It looks like that 6 hun will do the trick, but I'm just curious..

Mr. Spock had a gander at it and he's sittin' here feverishly anticipating the experiment as well!

Thanks for the visual, DST!
Yep, it was just me not gettin' it. I appreciate the pics,bro!

Dude, in my eyes, that's a very productive op and a great use of real estate.

Perty too!
Thanks, man!

Last night I put some OG Kush beans in a shot glass for my grow that will be in another location (from the same beans I grew my last OG Kush from - they came from a bag of OG Kush that I bought from a coffeeshop (there is a story behind both the OG Kush and Headband beans that I got from the same coffeshop - not going to post it here though....sorry)

This morning the beans had sunk so I went through to the next stage of paper towel germinating them and preparing their rooting cubes (although they are not exactly cubes - home made shapes more like) Here's a pictorial of the process:

Heres the beans in the shot glass being guarded by our Kalabash man.


Next stage to make my rooting shapes. Heres the tools, Scissors, black white sheeting (old stuff I used b4) cut into small squares or circles, whatever is easy for you. I have marine string which I thread through a needle, and my measuring spoons and rain water, mixed with Rhizotonic (Canna)


Sew the square patch


Pull the cord and tie

Fill with coco and water - and eh voila - ze almost finished product waiting for them beans. When the beans go I I will puncture some holes in the bottom of the shape as well.

I also give the edges a trim so there is no shade created


The OG Kush beans


Then I place them on the floor (this is actually in the outhouse where the grow cupboard is) and there is a radiator fitted in there, and this patch of the floor is where the piping runs to the radiator - so a nice warm patch on the floor.


I am sure everyone has their own methods but this may help someone (don't mean to tell peeps how tae suck an egg naw!!)but I got this from RIU - I use to do it differently...



Peace DST

While looking through my box for a bag to put my beans in, I came across this lump of hash. This was given to me by a lad down the pub who was going away for a while, and it was his birthday, so he gave eveyone a lump from a 250g bar(often called a 9 bar) he had....now I must stop you there...don't get to excited as this is pretty much Council Hash as far as I am concerned (i.e the crap that is imported into the UK and sold for like 1200 GBP for a kilo - gash) Anyway, for anyone who hasn't seen it before, here you go. I have had this for nearly 3 years now as far as I remember (put it this way, the guy got out of jail last year:shock:)

If any of this has seen morocco, or ever been in Morocco, then it's probably a very small%

Great tut & story, DST!

Those are neat little bags, man.

My woman found some bubble hash that we were given not too long ago and apparently lost. I wouldn't imagine more than 5-6 weeks ago but who could really say.
It was black(dark) with mold.
I guess it makes sense that bubble-h could potentially still be holding moisture when it was gifted to us. But that was the 1st time I ever saw mold on hash. Now I'm gonna' have to look before I smoke. (I think it was BH.)

I was shown an original copy of the Great Book of Hashish many years ago, and there was shots of moldy Nepalese in there if I remember rightly, or was it Afghan.... was stoned at the time and on a big ganja run so was dying to get out of the place...
It makes sense that some BH would mold, like you say, moisture in it's not gonna react well over time.

Well a quick pic update on the OG Kush-lings. So went back to check them this afternoon and was presented with 5 germinated seeds, so having prepared the little seed blocky things the day before, which have been soaking in rhizotonic (0.6 - 0.2 - 0.6) and rain water. I made small holes and popped the seeds inside. Then I snipped the bottom of the little baggies and put them in their new home. Just lowered down one of the cfls that's hanging there to give them a bit of warmth and closer light. So we wait and see now.....


Pop goes the...


Poke hole...


Careful now..add the bean

5 little babies ready to go, and the babes in their cage:lol:

So my fellow ganja loving fiends (and friends.) Anyone who visited my last thread should know that I like to throw up some arb art now and then (especially when I have no Green porn to entertain the masses). My wife and I have been together for some time but only married last year so this year was our paper anniversary. On top of our weekend to the Thermal Baths in Arcen, we also bought each other some urban art books. I got her a guide book to creating Urban Art and received Banksy's latest coffee table book. If you don't know who Banksy is, check out http://www.banksy.co.uk/menu.html


Here are a couple of pics from the book (I am not trying to offend...I just thought since RIU is the 4th most viewed website in America, that this would make a few peeps smile:

If you can't read the caption:
"A recent survey of Northern American males found 42% were overweight, 34% were critically obese and 8% ate the survey"



Banksy also goes around stencilling signs that seemingly authorise Graffiti on walls. the San Fran local authority had a clever clean up job on this one: They just painted over the words Authorised Graffiti Area....leaving - Post No Bills. (he even spelt Authorise with a Z - how fitting:lol:)




If you are bored check out: http://www.iwanttobeonyou.org/

Not much has happened on this website recently but we helped with the initial pics....inspiration - Ron Burgundy

Enjoy,
