Ha... I don't know jack about punching bags... only that I tried hitting on a long one at my buddys house.

I gave it a few hits... felt good, hit it pretty strongly and it swung back, so I thought.... 'yeah, here's my chance'... my dumb ass loaded up and hit the bitch as it came back.

Let's just say that was the last time I hit a bag and my wrist is still mad.

One thing about the green crack... My co-op has been selling GC clones for a while now... I guess becuase people don't like the name, they just started calling it 'Green Cush'.

Exactly!

Hey! I've been looking for my humidifier for the clone area for DAYS!
I just found it in the picture on your thread of my speedbag, up on a shelf!
Awesome!(and weird) Ha!

OK, sorry bout the jack, DST.
I'm just stoked

McFunk, no worries, this thread is for jacking. That kinda looks like my dehumidifier.....I am using this thing by a company called Bison. You just fill it up every now and then with like rocks of this salt like substance. Keeps my humidity down below 60!! Was only like 10 euros...
The bag is just material (lycra/cotton) filled, 180cm, weighs in around 70 kilo. I love the feeling of giving it a roundhouse when it's recoiling back....

Jig, I hear you on hitting a bag on recoil, when I started I had the same thing. Generally what has happened is that you have fired into the bag without stretching and warming up....most of my injuries have come about from just hitting the bag as I walked past it (then thinking, wtf did I do that for - haha) I always give my hands and wrists a good work out before punching now. Sorry that advise won't help you now, but try holding your arm out, and pulling back on your fingers to stretch the muscles, or/ lay your hand out flat, with your other hand behind it and adjacent, twist the hand away from you....this is how I warm my hands up, so I would imagine it will help.....(not sure if that explanation is clear!)

Peace gents,

DST

action shot at old house - this was when I started 5 years ago - lmao at those pads, and I am not up on my toes either - bad bad bad.

So it was off to the grow shop yesterday to have a chat about timers. Woke up at 5 oclock with my dear wife lying on her back snoring. Couldn't get back to sleep so got up and discovered...yup, yet again the light etc was still on. Basically the 600w has been burning through the timers. So I purchased 2 specially adapted timers designed for 600w. I stayed up last night to ensure the lights went of at 2am with the new time...which they did. I was almost tempted to change it to on at 6- off at 12...but decided against that.

Triple T is on her first set of 3 leaves now, the twins are still going along, ocassionaly flicking bean. As for the rest, they are still small but greener than ever. I was looking at one of them, it looks like the bloody tricolour flag..

ok, i'm off to bake myself.

Laters,

DST


Part2 - Sunday. wife making risotto - I am updating pics.

So here we are at week 796 for the seedlings (or thats what it feels like) but I am just going with +/-1 week from that other time that shall remain unmentionable. I could even say, +1 day from when i got my super strong 600w resistant timers. Who knows what was going on during the night before that.

The nursery has had some comings and going. 2 deaths on the seed front - ones that jist didnae make it chiefs!!! Triple T is getting its second set of 3 leaves, finally, ah tell ya, it might have been kept back a year at pre school. but it's gonna rock!! Thelma and Louise have began to even out on the colour front. Slowly slowly catchy monkey..Also got some date palm seeds down the bottom there. not sure what will happen with them if anything...

Thelma and Louise

Triple T

One of the Headbands in the nursery

One of the Headbands that was fried, getting back to norm.

One of the OG kushlings - looks like it is starting to enjoy the 6500k cool light cfl's.



And then we have the girls under the hps, we are getting there (as you can see above and below) I will be adding girls from the nursery in there soon up on the shelfs.

Pic of the Cali Orange.

And a slightly different angle/size. You can see the old damaged leaves vs/ the new leaves. Something +'ve is happening


So that's the meisjes.

Easy going peeps, hope you have a good Sunday evening.

Was a link from this website:
http://www.growshopalien.com/onlineshop/index.html this is worth looking at just to read some of the English, or - Engels, als de Nederlander zeggen (particularly the seed descriptions.)

Which also ships to the US by the looks of things. Pricey for heavy equipment, but they also got seeds on there. I was looking at Hollands Hope (among others) for an outdoor grow next year...!?

Just booked my flights to Cape Town for the World Cup in 2010, it's gonna be a trip!

And a quick pic update. Even since yesterday I can see the change in the little Yins. Through my earlier investigation I have discovered that the ballast my local grow shops sells, also work for metal hallide lamps....I am now pondering for a veg box....wife is gonna pagger me The ballast are only 50 euro (I spent that on cfls recently!)

So heres the grow space. I have added another shelf which will evetually take 3 plant pots (I will move that fan on the right) And then there is another space for a tall girl - about 4-5gallon pot - space bottom left) For the shelfs above I am going to use the bags the coco came in. 40 litre bags which I will lay on there side, holes in the side for the seedling to be planted, then holes on the top to water/feed. So the plants will be growing over a cliff basically. I will then tie them up to the walls so they don't dive bomb the girls below. This will take advantage of the light that is currently being wasted above (not that you can see the shelfs, but I posted in a prev pic. Don't worry if you don't understand, I do, so you will see as it comes along

Do you like my forest - hahaha, "DST loves you though girls, don't worry".

Nice link DST, thanks. Alien's seed bank looks superb. I was looking at the
Jock Horror and that Wos Legend From New York 47 -- 3 seeds for 19 euro
plus shipping. They claim THC % is >20

Nice to see your bunch of ladies growin' up a bit... I think It's about time to
take Thelma and Louise to the prom. Ask them if it's alright, k?

Funny, we just watched Carrie the other night!!!
But yes indeed, Thelma and Louise will be going to the prom shortly. They will be placed high up on the cliff!!

I am going to have a proper look through their seedbank when I have time.

Brother.... guess what! My wife and I applied to buy tickets a few months ago... and luckily we got drawn to buy tickets to a group game. As you are aware they just drew the teams... guess which game we got.

Holland v Denmark

I'm pretty stoked. Not sure when we are going to fly in, or stay yet, but it will be a grand time for sure. We are meeting a friend who's coming from England. Maybe we can all go to a pub.

Also... my wife snores too. I love it, haha.

Awesome, good times are coming.

I think The Dutchies are playing in the Cape Town area (deffo the best place in South Africa to be.) A word of warning, start looking into your flights sooner rather than later. My wifes Mother said that there are companies just block booking flights, airlines are looking to borrow planes, etc, etc. It's getting mad. We don't have tickets yet, thought we'd do the flights first. We applied online but need to wait until end of Jan to find out. My wifes company also works for a major sports brand involved in the World CUp, so we are also trying to blag some tickets.

Will keep you posted.

Oh, and if you are gonna find me anywhere, it will be in the pub

DST

Thanks for the update, brother.

Looks like ya' have things dialed-in!

Looking forward to the "leaning over a cliff" thing!

Cheers McFunk. Will put some pics up soon of my cliff babies. Just got a couple of things to do in the Octopuses Garden first.

So here's the chicks hanging oot eh their cribs on the cliff. Got 3 OG Kush (inc Triple T) and another Headband.

So I have wrapped the 40l coco sacks with black/white sheeting. Cut two squares for the girls to be transplanted into. Sealed them with duct tape and left a slit for the girth of the stem to grow. I have made blowholes in the tops of the bags to water/feed. This strain of OG Kush seeds I got are real stretchers so I want to train them along the back wall. We shall see. All I need is a fan to direct onto them now. Will take a look for that tomorrow.




We all know this one (well Peeps in the know do!)


The blowholes for watering

And last but def not least. We have our OG Kush in there 4 gallon pot/prom. Doing these girls in some new soil I bought today. Has a complete range of organic fert goodies in there...will need to watch on the nutes though.



Wow - didn't realise that pic would come out so small....

Oooo, some bold girls... hope they're not afraid of heights.

original strains from the Himalayas,
they'll be right -haha. I am just sitting here thinking I should have purchased longer trays for the drainage under those bags....ah well. Oh, and I will tie everything up when they bigger. Don't want any joining the para regiment.

Meh, looks as if the trays will suffice DST... I mean, it'll be easy to tell if/when you need to switch anyway.

I just tried some HB for the first time yesterday. Amazing shit! But, a buddy of mine has some

OG beans that he's looking to donate to fellow growers. You mentioned the seeds you have tend to stretch,

anything else worth mentioning about growing the strain man?.. it'll be my first OG endeavor.

That's really cool, DST!

TTT's lookin' good, dontcha' think?

This is gonna' be awesome!

OG I would highly recommend topping and LST'ing, because of the stretch (but then you may have slightly different genetics over there) If you can, super crop, the buds go mad, that's why I am hoping that gravity will make the buds on these OG kush girls heavy and dense.
DONT foliar feed, they are so sticky and dense that it causes mildew (I am 100% certain that's what caused the mildew I had)
100% - you have to take them past week 9.
Feed them like there is no tomorrow. I fed twice weekly, grow, and PK13+14.
Ok, I'll stop now. Of course I am always open for answering any Q's Scotty.

Much happier with the girls now McFunk. And Triple T's looking pretty smokin, I think she should like her new home. I have grown two kushes in the same growing medium before, so she should get along with her neighbour ok.

When I transplanted the girls today, their roots were down at the bottom of the pots so everything seems good down-under.

Looking forward to this now.

Peace

DST

Talking about all this stretch makes me think about my favorite anti stretch tool in HCO's Bushmaster. It's perfect for stopping vertical growth right where you want it to stop. I'm think you've read about it on my thread DST. And I guess you use gravity, so you aren't scared of HCO products. The Bushmaster is just amazing in what it does.

do you mean the product gravity, or the other kind ?

And are u worried about roots violating each other?
