Hey guys sorry it's been forever I just really don't have alot of time to be kickin it on here now a days. I have a hard time just watering and taking care of my girls sometimes. lol. But here are a couple harvest pix of my all time favorite buds (Lacey) and some new pix of the flower room as of today. Enjoy.

If you wanna ask questions I'll try to get on and answer them and chat it up. Just had a hectic couple months. haha. I'll try to be on more tho

And all I have is a tiny ass scale. So I'll just be honest and tell you I know no definite weights... lol

I want to just camp out in your flower room. It's very nice. +rep

Lol, thanks guys. Its like a tanning room, you cant spend to much time in there... Might get an artificial sun burn.... Ha! :)
make sure you have sun glasses in their to protect the eyes.
you still got that job you got awhile back?
and if you got a girl she dont have to pay for tanning just putt her in the grow room

Lol, I know right. I honestly should start keeping a pair of sunglasses outside for when I gotta check on the girls. Can see better that way. Lol, But yea I still work at the same place. That and all my girls are keepin me way busy! Lol, all I need now is a female who will smoke a bowl with me and appreciate the work I have to put into my other girls... That doesnt seem to exist tho... Lol I cant find a girl that smokes... I get that and my life is perfect! Lol

That's a crazy good harvest. I just started up some bagseeds a friend gave me. I got 3 entirely different-looking babies from the same handful of seeds, so I can't tell what's gonna happen. I'l be trying SoG with em, though. Hopefully all my clones won't wither away and die like last time.

They're about 14 days old now, and they already are very distinct from one another. I'm worried about the fat leaf one. The first set looks almost freakish...

lol, I wouldn't worry about a slight PH flux could cause some weird leaf curling wrinkling ect. They look fine to me. Maybe ever so slightly N hungry, but overall good.
Sorry all your clones didn't take. How are you trying to clone? I built a bubble cloner with 5 sites that I can fit 20 cuttings in easy and I've got a 100% success rate since making that switch! BUBBLE CLONERS are the ONLY way to go! That or a sprayer cloner.


**************************************************************************************************************

Alright so here are a couple pix of the flower room as of today. lol, the FIRST pic I'm putting up is my first grow in this flower box. Check out the difference. lol. I just saw that and found it funny.

Holy shit man, you really have stepped up your game in that flower room huh? How much weight (ballpark/eyeball) do you think you will harvest out of that batch?

You have come a long way since your first grow that's for sure.

lol, Thanks dog. See the thing is I have a staggered harvest goin on. So I'm harvesting just about monthly. But I pulled about 4oz's down in the last month. And will be pulling down around another 4 by half way through January. I do this so I constantly have plants goin in and coming out of flower. But I would guess that I have around a HP growing in the box at any point in time.

Rough estimate of course.

lol, nope it's that same 4'X4' box. Just learning my HPS and new strains. I'm WAY glad I'm back to LSTing! It honestly at least doubles my harvest! In all seriousness.

Have you thought about doing a SoG in there from clones? I would be curious to see the room filled with LST plants vs the room full of single cola ladies packed in tight and see which yields more.

Fucking nice box, I bet you could fit 2 1k's in air cooled hoods and get some DENSE nugs but it might almost be too much light lol, just throwin ideas out. Anyway liken the setup i think ill drop by here and there to watch for that hydro system i hear about you switchen to.

Haha, thanks man I'd LOVE to have that kinda wattage running!.. I was thinkin about bumpin it up to 2, 6hundy's but we'll see what happens. I May make the hydro switch before upgrading my lights again. These are treating me fairly well.

But yea so as far as hydro goes, I just got some extra money from my second job so I am really really contemplating making that switch quite soon here. What I hear from my other grow buddies is that it's the best decision they've ever made, and I will DEFINITELY NOT regret it!. So that makes me pretty excited and want want to get this ball rolling.
Thing is, I don't know to much about hydro. So I'll be frequienting this sight more often doing some hydro research. I've narrowed it down to 2 possibilities. And that's either going to be DWC or Ebb N' Flow. And I've been leaning towards Ebb N' Flow, but I'm liking the bubble buckets more and more... Check out this link if you have any interest what so ever. I'm thinking of something kind of like this, not exactly though. Just read about the drip/bubble system, that's what I'm thinking about doing. http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/117030-how-build-maintain-your-own-custom-bubbler-dwc-grow-2.html

And ya know I've thought about it. If I was rocking Ebb N' Flow that would be PRIME and a mega yield. But it's just way to much work for dirt... WAY to much work. lol, great idea for Evv N' Flow though!

Thats a cool setup very simple, Im kinda leaning more towards a DIY undercurrent system. Those are amazing!!! ive seeen some HUGE grows using them and they show some mad results. They require more space though, which is why im also stuck on the Ebb&Flow lol.

It's funny you are thinking of moving over to hydro as I have been contemplating doing the same. Since I made my DWC bubble cloner I can't help thinking one or two plants in one of those containers would make nice plants that have very low maintenance. I'm pretty sure after daily watering's with party cups I could go to changing a reservoir out once a week.

Keep us posted if you start a hydro grow. Show us how you build your system. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in this.
