//Pc

thats alotta good news man

Wow lots of new developments on all fronts Jig. Congrats to you and Mrs Jig on the positive test. Id have to agree with you Jig there are some good people on riu. Me ive only met 1 in person so far but i intend to try and meet a few more. I can tell you that im with you in the thinking that we are a group unto ourselves for the love and passion of growing. Growing has definatley changed me in many ways and all for the better. I was reflecting on how rough and tough i used to be and its just not me anymore hahaha. I dunno its weird lol. You know what i mean bro. Congrats on handling yourself well snowboarding. Its definately a challenging sport lol. Im acking as im writing from a rather hard crash yesterday on the local slopes. Bonked me fkn head pretty good on a patch of ice trying to pull off a 360 grab. FAIL haha. Anyhows hope your growing problems work out. I always wondered how you kept temps in check so well with your previous grows. May need to upgrade ur fan? I know mine ate shit on me a few months ago so they do indeed burn out after time.

Anyways Jig my man best of luck stay cool peace 1BMM

Hey Jig, here's a suggestion, when I have small plants in my cab and a big light burning, I don't know if it's me or not, but with less plant matter it is always hotter. How about switching down to your 250mh in the interim, get those babies gorwing strong and then wack the 1000 in at a later date.....

And of course, A MASSIVE CONGRATS for you and Mrs Jig!!!!

Peace brother, DST

awesome news Jig! there must be somethin in the water, westies girl now yours!? all the best to you and yours jigga man, things are really on the up well part from the minor set back of the plants but hell, you cant appreciate the good without a hiccup here n there i say.

"Oh, and probably the coolest part of the last few weeks was I got to meet another RIU'er. He came over and we chilled. We were going to hit the local skate park, but got to talking and couldn't stop. I swear there is just a mass of cool people on this site. There is something to say for guys who grow and grow well. I don't think it's that we grow... AND we have a lot in common. I think it's that we are all a certain type of people, and being that type of person has led us to grow. To me the ones on this site who are like 'us'... the ones who don't grow tiny plants under a cfl just so they can smoke, nor the ones who grow commercially for a job, but the ones who grow because we have found that we love it, because we love raising plants and giving them attention... We really are a breed all to our own, and I think we are good peeps. It seems to me that we really love and care for our families. And most of us have pets that we adore and treat well. The ones with children seem to give a shit about them and adore them as well. We all care about our homes. We aren't driven by having things and money, but still appreciate the finer things in life. We all seem to like good music and all seem to have a really good time and surround ourselves with really good people. And we all seem to have positive things to say to eachother. I'm very thankful to be surrounded by a bunch of great peeps like you all... even if it is an internet community, we all still live in the world. So needless to say, me and the buddy who met up had a great time, and he really like my herb."

WELL SAID THAT MAN!

DST to the rescue. Thanks for the suggestion on putting on the 250. Honestly I can't say why that never even crossed my mind. But I installed the ballast (I had taken it down for another unknown reason) and hooked up the wiring, found my MH bulb, and voila. My temps went from 80-82 down to 66-68. Big drop. Also the plants should stretch out a tiny bit at least more thean they would with the assault of light from the 1k. For whatever reason two of the plants are just lagging. The rest have taken off since I posted. Like gumball said, they must have been waiting while everything else gets sorted.

And to greenlanter... Great to see you again my friend. The Dogs are actualy D-OG's... a breed of seeds from another RIU member. They are OG x Headband.

Without further adieu. Pics: in them you can see what I did with the sectioning of the closet.

The closet, the biggest plant, and two good looking ones on the bottom row


The root shots are of the plant on the left and the plant in the middle of this first shot in this line... you can see the difference.


This is how I sectioned off the ballast area... I also put a couple peices of wood underneath the 1000w ballast, so it wouldn't transfer so much heat to the big peice of wood, and into the grow space.


The y'ins

Pretty cool Jig!

I know things aren't coming along as fast as you hoped but everything is looking really nice.

Sweet, back on track Jigster!!!!

Still a great show to follow, I am sure it will have a surprise ending

Just spent a few minutes reading your post on the last page. I always enjoy reading your stories, you do have way of captivating a reader. I live up in Nor Cal in an area where deer are almost a nusience, but after reading your experience, It make me want to step out on the porch and chill with the deer for a while. lol Congrats on the good news. If I am correct, you just had your first baby didin't you? So this is number two?
Anyway Jig, don't get too bumbed on the slow start. They look great and I am sure they will blow up real soon. You have a great passion for growing among other things and I admire your outlook on life. I do agree on the growing community. There is a commonality that brings us all together. From a bigger perspective, it may not be a coincidence that we have much on common.
Keep it up buddy and I am happy for you, your wife, and your new addition.

hey mate you have given me so much inspiration, keep it going we all love it

Loved the World Cup mix Jig, hehe. Looking like they are ready to do their thing in there. So once you are rocking 12/12 are you switching back to the 1000? Peace bru, D

Thanks for the update!

Great job Jig (king) I've had my eye on your youtube grows for a while. I knew I would DiG you and
after reading your post on PG 10 I've comfirmed my suspissions ..... Your a good guy. Hiding in this
nasty world the good guys are sometimes hard to ferret out. But I think you blew your cover. Your
just one more good peep here at RIU. Hats off Bro.

I'm starting a new vert grow and hope to get your input once the journal is up.

Hey Bro see my PM about phone cams and GPS. (warning)

Welcome i420... glad you think I'm ok. Just wanted to share a few pics with the crew. I put the timer to have lights on from 8a -8p. Gonna see how much they stretch, may or may not use bushmaster this go round. And just a note (don't know if I already said this)... I moved the biggest plants to the top level. It's not that the top level grew the bigger plants and the bottom ones stayed little... I moved them like that. Actually 3 of the biggest ones were on the bottom, so I'm happy with how the 2 level deal is working. Just wanted to optimize use of light in flowering, figure I'll get a grip from the top level with all the light, and we'll see what I get from the bottm. Definitely worth having two levels even if I only pull 1 oz per plant on bottom, that's and extra qp for a little construciton. I really hope to break the pound mark this grow. I don't think 20 oz is out of the question.

I put up the screen on the top level of plants tonight. The girls were getting a little close for the 1kw (whenever I put it back in). Some were leaning over past 45 degrees. I'll put in the bottom level screen tomorrow me thinks. ALso, don't know if I already said, but I took out the dams. The roots are fat and I don't want things spilling over with roots galore and dams in there. Next time I will hope to have plants with long enough roots from the bubbler to put into the tube so no dams necessary. I'm also hoping to put in the final bits of panda film tonight. I'm mighty sick with a cold so not sure how much I'll do.

Been watching Arested Developement on the Netflix/ps3 lately... That show is funny shit. Recommended to any who haven't seen. Had to find something new as we just caught up on 30 rock's. Me and the wife tend to watch shows years after they are on the air. Not sure why, but there you go.

Put up a couple shots of the deer I was chillin with. Some root porn, and a few shots of the screen.
