Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

congrats on your wedding Gas,

on a cannabis note ' when you going 12/12? cause i don't think it will be too much of an issue with your little ones, as they do their stretch, just train the others around them so they stay level, i'd be happy as with your setup, with the UVB and all, yum yum, and 1 big fat pot, i think thats another great way, nice update, they are growing fast, can u transfer a couple more globes in that direction?

i have 2 step kids a boy and a girl and a little baby boy that was just born in december. kids are great. the baby can get to be a bit much at times, i just walk away take a hit and get back at it.

congrats tanker and welcome to the brotherhood.. lol been married for 5 yrs this july and weve been together for 11 years. when ya find the right 1 its effen awesome.. sounds like u did 2.

my wife and i got married in our yard and a friend of ours is ordained she married us. wedding days are a great party.....

Thank you everyone and feel free to spam about your kids It'll help make me less nervous when it comes my time for all of that. I guess I should admit that we already have our first sons name picked out


@flowa - today is day 9 of 12/12 which is why I am slightly concerned. Generally when I flower small plants early they just rocket up within the first several days - these ones are staying pretty short though... I am definitely training the larger ones into the corners but they are growing so rapidly that I'm not real sure I'll be able to provide the little guys with adequate canopy space for too much longer.

I put two of my smaller plants on 12/12 early (short veg) .. one did a massive stretch and the other stayed squat (same strain). She's getting choked out a little bit as I've had to raise the light for all the others who are fairly even.

Have you turned off your side lighting?? (which is so awesome btw, I'm always looking now for old xray displayers/viewers, no luck yet) Perhaps this would encourage more stretch

you inbox is full man

Yeah, I think they are just much more indica dom than the rest. I know the mother of these beans was chocolope and swore the pollen was as well but the leaves are looking super indica - very rounded, kind of like a black berry leaf. The rest of the chocoplope are extremely sativa dominant including the larger chocolope cross of my own - kind of wierd that all 7 of the smaller plants are so similar to each other but so different than the larger plant and the legit DNA seeds.

Congrats yourself. Wish you were local - we need more married friends now, or so I hear.

Yesterday and today were moving days My wife and I of course had no help so I essentially moved us. I'm a small person with a bad back and we have two of everything, plus a whole new set of everything, as well as my five planted fish tanks... I cannot express how much pain I am in. Earlier today I literally threw up due to back pain. Unfortunately I don't smoke for pain relief and have no heavy indicas around BLAH!!. Tomorrow I get to go to the lumber yard to make a new chicken/rabbit coupe - A normally extremely fun task that is going to be so fucking miserable. Kill me now please. Amazing house though, I'm excited about that.

My tent was the one thing not to move. Plants are looking good but there is definitely a growing mite population. Seems Azamax is starting to let me down.

your plants grew fast I thought they were indicas!? how are your plants doing? mine are doing very good, looking forward to see the outcome of this 12/12 run... I will upload pics tomorrow!btw 90% of back pain problem is related to people not drinking enough water through the day I read somewhere!!

Today we mourn the passing of a great man.

Chocolope is a sativa dom hybrid and stretches like crazy. The plant in the back left is pretty indica but this will be a first grow of that cross. I hope your right about the water, I"ve been super hydrating so hopefully it will stop hurting soon

Pictures later this week once I find my camera. Will have to remember the lizard habitat, unfortunately I own lizards and have em on display. I guess they could be the top secret invisible lizards for a while

Will have to give that stuff a try.

Seems to be failing me. My area has some pretty resistant bugs and I've been using Aza for a few rounds so I likely just need a switch up and then will be able to return to the azamax.




Chicken coop is half way up but I've given up for the day. Must rest.

Hopefully I'll have pics of the plants later tonight. Progress so far on the coop:

For the chickens and bunny. Close for what? The new neighbors are an older couple that seems super friendly. The husband came and visited while I worked - found out he is a retired welder/carpenter which immediately made me super embarrassed of what I was doing. I know how to do things the right way and chose to do things the easy way so I can't imagine what he must of thought as a professional carpenter. Super nice though. I don't grow outdoors and he didn't seem to mind the idea of chickens so hopefully there will be no problems from him. The neighbor behind me might be a different story...

Heck yeah! Make him make you one. Chickens and bunnies and everything else is a blast. I hope you dont think it's weird but when I was in Ecuador I ate guinea pig and it was sooo fucking amazing that I kind of want to start raising them for meat. Although in the US I might get thrown in jail for animal cruelty.

didnt realise it was for chicken, dont know what I was thinking...bunnies would make great fertlizer for your plants I heard!!!and yeah I think eating guinea pig is weird!!! ( i am vegetarian )
