Such a strong bight when you inhale.... i actually had a coughing fit after tokin some of the ripened primos! The whole bloodshot eyes.... inebriated , sedated , oblivious to anything around me type feeling.... i started to wonder if i'd popped anything beforehand ;) ;)

Thankyou kindly!! I'm really glad you and others find my thread useful and entertaining!

More Gnine porn!!! BTW>>> Harvest weighed in at just over 1100 grams cured. Ace by my standards, and my best yet!!!

How's it going FM, just curious what you might have coming up for our viewing pleasure? My girls are just coming into flower, I hope you don't mind if I share a few shots :lol: These were taken with a small magnifying lens and my iPhone. I'm gonna put some more up in the thread in my sig. You should check it out if you get the chance, I'd really like to know what you think.

Hey Flowamasta!

Congratulations on your awesome dank buds! My grows have been pathetic in comparison. My biggest problem is that I've been using all FLUORESCENT lights inside my cabinet. But today I finally remedied that and bought an Area 51 LED light box. (http://area51lighting.com/LED-Grow-Lights.html)

NOTE: Anyone who's a grower here in good standing with a bunch of journals can get this light (and also the 2014 model) at WHOLESALE cost if you agree to showcase the results from the Area 51 in a new journal. Just contact the company. I included links to my 5 journals in the email and got the discount.

I think I also have a fix for the problem I had last time with the drain holes in my hempy bucket getting clogged with roots:





This bucket's about 3 times the volume of my previous one. And rather than line the whole thing with a paint strainer bag I just glued these little screen door patches over the drain holes using aquarium cement (which is just silicone).

Now I'm ready to rock. Got 2 seeds germinating… I'll let you know how it goes!

Edit: Not that I'll ever get a POUND or anything close to your monster harvests. But a quarter pound would be a big improvement over my previous ones. I'd be happy with that.

Hey FM - Are you safely away from the fires?

I am Mo, thanx for the concern, we are however copping some unusual weather and quite windy... windy enough to blow one of my small brick fences over! But could be much worse.

Nice pics matey, thanx for poppin in, I have a new plant in, a re-vegged cutting from Gnine, as i didn't get my outdoor cuttings done in time. :( stupid clouds stealing my sunshine. I will show soon enough, things are establishing themselves, and i only just got her in the day after inspection, so will only get just under 4 weeks of vegging out of her. So Fast forward hopefully, and got the whole line of cyco from a mate for a gift... think he got it for free anyway, but something to use and its all fresh :) i was running low on XL so it came in really handy.

The new light sounds interesting, always a little wary of LED's only because of their tiny size, but i see these days phones have LED flashes and they nearly blind you! If you use enough of them and spread them out i can see lots of advantages thats for sure.

Cheers for your words of confidence bro, just want to get some going already to test them out in the hydro setup!

Scrogs- this weather is pissing me right off, we've still had frosts the last few weeks and now pissing rain, my poor outdoorys just aren't coping at the moment, need some heat badly!

Hey, FM...

Glad to see you're back! It's been a while. I'm stoked about this LED light. I've seen some good results with the Area 51 and a lot of folks on riu recommend it. Most LED panels probably aren't quite as good as HIDs yet, but it HAS to be a lot better than my fluorescents, right? I needed something better that wasn't too hot because of the setup I have. HIDs are too hot. I think the Area 51 will do pretty well. We shall see.

PS - I have a little flashlight with a CREE LED in it and it does blind a person. It almost looks like a car's headlight.

Good to hear! The fires started and you disappeared so I was really worried. Is the wind from the giant typhoon? A brick wall - that is nuts!

Hi FM,
I'm a fellow Aussie near Sydney and I've followed your grows with envy and admiration.
You've obviously got your setup dialed in for your strain and the results speak for themselves.

I posted a few months ago in this thread after your first grow and then forgot where (which forum) your grow was on and have just finally found it again.
And now you've gone a busted your first yield record with your latest monster .... congrats and thanks for sharing your experience with us.

I'm going to change over from 50-50% perlite/coco in 115 lt pots to 100% perlite in smaller 60lt pots with a 80lt res for my next grow.
I've only got a couple of weeks left before I can harvest and am starting to get ready for the change over :weed:

This thread is now 150 pgs and I remember reading somewhere in that you changed your nutrients/brands from those that you started with on pg1.
Would it be possible for you to update pg1 with a summary of the nutrients that you found to work best for you as I'm sure it will help others who wish to follow in your footsteps.

I'll be growing Ace of Spades with my first grow in 100% perlite as I've found it to be a very forgiving strain and I can appreciate that I might have some teething problems with getting it dialed in.

Thanks in advance for your summary of what you found worked best.
Cheers Mate.

Hey FM - I found where you shared with us your now preferred nutes, pg 135.
"I now use Advanced Nutrients Gold Range A+B + CYCO B1 Boost, Silica, XL (booster) for 'growing' and i use their 'flower' A+B also in combination with their one part gold range 'add.27' The add.27 is all she needs, well all i give for the first 5 weeks, then i switch to CYCO swell to help the ripening stage and swell thick and fast."

Gotta be better than flouros matey, gotta be! anything to help bring down the temperature is a good thing in my books! I start to fret a little when half the res is drained each day!!! Thiiiiiiirsty plants. But its a good sign when they are drinking that much

Thanx for your worry Mo, i feel for anyone in need of help, its hard enough being in a house with a busted AC unit. The body just gives up, and slumps on the couch.... sleeping seems to be the easiest thing to do in this crazy heat.

Howz the greenhouse Mo? :)

Yea man, i go half a sachet of fongarid with a full tub of fresh water, and i do a full flush and soak bring the water line right up as far as i can and then dump it straight away, then i again flush to rid of the bacteria immediately. Then replace the water once more and add nutrients. repeat this after 3-4 days to make sure with the other half a sachet. its dusty stuff, so try hard not to breath it in, give it a good mix in the res aswell and remove the pump filter so it can come through the hose properly.

lol :) wow thats a big read ;)
Good job using advanced nutrients, i found they are indeed nice nutes, very raw and nice smelling. To finish with swell is also good thinking, i myself tried that method with awesome results and a strong earthy aroma... With my current grow i'm back to using Cyco nutes, got a nice fresh box of the prokit so i thought why not? i don't want to run out of erb! ;)

Thanks for your kind words and compliments! keep up the growing! we can only evolve from here on!!

Thankyou kindly!!! new pics coming up!!

Here's the latest ;) G9 just hit day 21 flowering. She's big, but not stupidly big, and only using the 1 600watt this time, cause i'm still paying the damn last electricity bill :( For the amount of bonus return having the extra light WAS worth it, but in this weather i didn't want conditions to become a fire hazard!

G9 day 21 Flowering.

pics aren't working :( i'll keep persisting!!! My samsung cam got replaced for a video camera so my photo quality is limited now!! I feel so lost !!!!! give me 15 minutes ;)
