Hello all... I'm in sweden now. Having a great time, sampling the weeds of the world. Meeting great friends and having amazing times. I've got to say though, I miss my wife. We make a good team, and I guess I like sharing my life with her more than I realize. It's like all this that I', doing is fun, but I don't have my best friend next to me laughing and smiling.... :cry:

Oh well... I'll bring her along next time. British Airways strike be damned.

Almost forgot... good luck for me. I found about a half gram of hash yesterday in Amsterdam... wasn't the best, but it was free.

Let's all hope my plants make it alone for 10 days alone. I've been meaning to text the pet sitter to ask her if things are ok.

Oh... last thing... there are funny buttons on this keyboard:

Good fun Jig. I've always wanted to make that trip around Europe with the highlight being Amsterdam. Live it up and we'll see your girls when you get back.

Hey Jig,
I was inspired by your last grow to go vertical scrog, and I'm loving it. Instead of chicken wire, I went the nylon tomato netting route with great results so far. Purple Kush under a 400 Watt and I'm hoping for lots of it. Lol, maybe one day you'll give soil another chance.

Anyway, so excited to follow this new grow. I've had to play catchup with your last couple, so I can't wait to follow this one as it evolves. This may be a dumb question, but do the roots just flow down the tube? What happens when the roots get so long it encounters the next plant down the tube?

Here's a pic for you since your 100+ page journal was my inspiration. Only day 6 of flowering in organic soil. Training around the net has worked wonders.
The first is last night, and the other of the first or second day after training to the net.

Thanks again, and can't wait! :leaf::leaf:
wow.............

im jealous. end of story
well boomer... you got something to save for next year. I think the whole vacation is going to cost maybe $4000-4500 for both me and my wife. But then again... we stay with friends the whole time which helps. However, we also pay for pet sitters and parking, and I'm sure you would be able to arrange for someone watching the dog and driving you to the airport. Anyways... it's fun shit. Kinda scary travelling on your own though. It helped people spoke english everywhere. I mean they spoke other languages to themselves, but could understand me too.

So... enough about encouraging travel. I'm writing from England now. I woke up in Sweden, spent the day in Denmark, and I'm about to smoke a bedtime bowl in London. I've spent 3 different types of money today. I bought weed out of a walk up booth in Christiana an area in Copenhagen that's really nuts. It's like not governed by Denmark... but it's just this little neighborhood. You can just smoke walking around, but weed is illegal as hell in Denmark. It's weird.

I really don't know what to say right now. I mean I have lots to say, but would rather enjoy my final hours.

Love you guys. I miss posting from home, but it's wild to be posting from the other side of the world.

peace

Wow man,, I didn't know you were abroad. Awesome! Sounds like an amazing experience. Did those walk up booths have seeds? :) I'll bet you got some amazing pictures, please share a couple. Since you will probably read this when you are home, Welcome Home my friend!

Thanks so much for the well wishes.

I just got in the door and I probably wouldn't have posted except for what I saw in my closet when I opened the door.

A CLOSET FULL OF PLANTS.

It's seriously little shop of horrors. Stretched out beyond imagination. Now I see how people have space issues.

It's great to be back.... but damn, right off I'll have to get to work to get this under control.

Just back from the potting shed, first joint of the day - a dried joint of NY47, pretty mofo tasty:bigjoint: - oh, and a little bong of it on the side (not quite convinced it's as good as the chem-d linneage though!)

How about this.

1/ clone the hell out of them, this is gonna cut them back plus give you double sites at each branch you clone at. Then you can start your bending therapy on the two new shoots that come through.

2/ Now you got a load of clones....either
a/ donate or sell to a dispencary, (don't know if you can do that)
or/
b/ Find a nice spot in the woods and plant em guerilla stylleee.:weed:

That was the first thing that came to mind.

Have a good day holmes.

Wawa wewa! Looking good ;) Why don't you try some different "styles" on them and see what you like best?! And take some clones, they seem sturdy to bounce back like that :blsmoke:

Have you thought about putting the plants behind your screen? Then you could start weaving now and like the others said takes some clones. I just cut about 40 clones off of my ladies last night to thin out the middle..I had to toss them since Ihave a couple cloners full right now already, but if you know anyone that could use them or take em to a dispensary too. Anyway, I don't knw how much room you have, but it seems like if you could some how frame up that screen between the light and the plants you are still in business with the scrog.

I would get to training those girls. If you cant work them through the screen because they're too tall, just use twist ties to secure them where you want.

man jig you are much more tolerant than I. If those turds had been in my seat and antagonized me i would have physically remedied the situation.
What a pair of muff case's.....
Oh man guys... you aren't going to believe this. My and my wife's flight from London back to LAX was full of a giant group of young skydivers. Not really sure what the deal is, but apparently there is a massive sky diving event near where I live. Anyhow there was about 60 of them. Me and my wife don't like waiting on planes, so we usually are one of the last ones on. This time was the same, we go on late and find our seats only to find them full of people. It was a guy and a girl. Now I don't know what kinda look I have on my face when approaching these situation that extracts the response I always get. I tell the guy, "hey these are our seats". And he says.... guess what....

"well, someone's sitting in my seat, so.... "

I couldn't fucking beleive it. Seriously.... Again? No kidding fellas, the first thing that crossed my mind was "the guys on Rollitup are going to have a laugh at this one".

So we went back and forth for a little with him and his friend in front of him trying to work out a deal... they asked "so are you guys just looking for two seats together"... And I say "NO, We are looking for our seats, which you are in."

We eventually got our seats. Only the girl who was in one of ours was supposed to be siting next to me, so we were uncomfortable most of the time. We made up later... I told her about Cali and stuff.

Coming right along there Jig. I see you got you vert screens up. Man thats gonna be like a tubular green wall lol. Totally Tubular man lol. Awesome work Jig.
It's already starting to look wild... I have them tied up now. Freaking trees.

::writes muff case down for use in future::
I'm a fan of the term too, haha.

They are looking good Jig. Was the last one done in a bathroom? How long do you plan on vegging them? Keep up the good work.
All my grows have been done in the same closet. Only difference was when I had the purple kush plants on a bookshelf for a couple months.

keep up the good work jig bongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmilie
JIG!!! your the man! and its looking good! cant wait to see how tihs turns out
Thanks Fishin.... Nastyhr. Appreciate the support. :weed:

Thank you my friend for saving my seat..I had to toss someone on their head, but I am comfy now and tuned in for sure. That story reminds me of a Raider game where I had a similar expereince, but he was an off duty cop and tried to give me the whole take it easy if you want to stay out of jail bullshit..long story short I watched the game in the parking lot in a sherrifs sub station in cuffs and he left with ice on his jaw. Your aproach was probably the more mature one..I was younger and much more volitile than I am now. In life I am learning you really have to pick your battles and fast forward to the result of how you handle every situation. You did the right thing.
It was funny with this time, becuase I was really calm, and I could hear just how stupid the other guy sounded. At one point I almost wanted to help him prove his point. He had a point, but he was just all confronted and confused and couldn't get anything out that sounded rational. Just kept saying, "well... can't you just sit somewhere else."

Haha, you got so much action in your grow journals ;) I got 0 so i closed my thread...

Anyways, see ya soon! =)

//CaL
It's because I give out free weed at the end, haha.

Just kidding.

i havent been on rollit up much but now that i see u starting ya grow back that gon change keep us updated jus order my querkle today cant wait to plant it
I'm hoping the querkle does me good. Don't leave them alone for more than a week though, lol.

Jig, I'm asking all the vertical growers I can find this same question - would you say the bud quality is diminished, both in terms of density and also in terms of half of the bud receiving almost no light?
Tree high has spoken on my behalf well. I saw no reduction in quality with only 'half' the bud getting light. To me they get the same ammount of light as a flat grow. I'm not saying I'm right, but I just think the bud gets the light it does. I mean when it's flat, if the bud is directly under the bulb it gets it's 'top' lit. But not the whole part that's lit is getting direct light. Buds are all weird shaped and have parts sticking out and hairs. So even the 'top' of the bud isn't getting all direct light. Some of it is slightly reflected/ refracted/ diffused/ whatever, I'm not a scientist.

But yeah, the bottom isn't lit. Plus the buds in a flat grow that are off to the side of the bulb get a lot less direct light between the angle and buds closer to the bulb. All that. To me vert gets more light to the buds... at least in my vert vs my flat.

Half the bud is more purple looking than the other, but if you smoke a bowl from one side or the other, you can't tell a difference.

The loss in quality in my opinion is 0.0 %.

I'm not jig, but I do have first hand experience with his last grow and I would have to say that there was no reduction in quality as far as I could tell. There were some BIG buds and really the only difference I ever noticed in the side that didn't get as much light is that it wasn't purple. I don't know if that helps you out any but I did notice you were asking for opinions, so I thought I would add that.
You can always speak for me my friend. It was good talking the other day.

im bak and alive bitches! haha done workin on my growrooms for now had my surgery this mornin so i got the knee propped up and my bubbler in one hand with sum jugfresh CJ in the other, about to get my trip on with sum oxy and catch up on this new journal. im sure i wont be let down. 8)

+scribed brotha
Really glad you are back friend. Hope you feel better. I have had two surgeries and it is a bitch dude. Best of luck to you mate. I usually resort to edibles or at least vaporizing for 2 weeks after the surgery. The wound heals slower if you are smoking. My first surgery, the healing was delayed cuz I started smoking for pain, I ended up with more scar tissue. After visiting the doctor, he was certain that it was the smoking. May be I experienced it because I smoked a lot.

Hope I am not too late to this party. Looking FRESH Jig FRESH.
Glad to have you back boomer. And glad to have you along bender. Never too late man. We've been waiting for you.

Subscribed.... :razz:

Nice going Jig...:clap: as always...:weed:
And now that Gypsy is here the party is finally getting started, WOOO HOOOO.

i have never seen anything like your first and this one jig your amazing!!
Thanks bud. I'm glad you like it. :mrgreen:

Yo Jiggy, looking great man. If you get a chance come on by and check out my progress. I'm working on installing the vertical screens for next round; which will be a aero scrog/sog vertical hybrid.

https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/273979-10-x-15-stealth-attic-13.html
I'll tell you what $bags. I have a serious alergic reaction to Fatman and he is all over your thread. Sorry bro, but that guy is bad for my health.

ok so just skimmed thru the new journal and im stoked to see ure gonna bump up ur wattage. should increase ur yield drastcially. when we gonna get u on c02 brotha!?

but anyways i was gonna say get a reflector for the 1000w if u can cuz the heat itll put off on the wite door (yes white reflects great) but that wooden door and paint mite not appreciate 200+degrees 12hrs/day lol. i saw ur ventilation setup last time and i forgot wat cfm ure running but just my opinion to bump it up if u plan to run that 1000w for flower. i know ur stealth closet is dialed as is but dont wanna see u run into a heating issue. would u consider running a portable AC ductless split unit to cool the room? like were u have that hole cut in ur door just plug in the AC ductin right meh and ull b good...
The problem with the co2 is that my space is so small with the lights going I need the fan on all the time. And the light fan is also the room fan. So the co2 would just get sucked right out the roof.

AC would be good, only there isn't any room to put it. Damn closet is too small. Plus the whole airflow thing again, the cold air would get sucked right out.

I'm hoping it won't be an issue. It doesn't get too hot up here.

My problem at the moment is the light doesn't work. I plugged it all in yesterday and nothing happened. It could be one of 3 things. Bad bulb, bad ballast, or bad connection. It just sucks not knowing which one. NOt really sure how to figure it out either.

Hello Jig, that is so cool, your are going from spot to spot and updating us from there.

How long is your trip mate? I am really planning of taking a MMJ vacation, go around the world sampling and collecting seeds.
The trip was 10 days total. I smoked 11 different types of mj product. 6 homegrown strains. 1 brick weed. 1 from a dealer. Hash from a coffeshop. Pollen Hash from a dealer. And some chronic from a sidewalk side table in Christiana, Copenhagen. I even spread some seed love. I brought seeds from London to Amsterdam, and seeds from Amsterdam to Sweden. I'm like Jonny Pot Seed, lol.

Oh forgot to mention how wicked it is to have a 1/2 key on the keyboard. Never seen that before.
Yeah, there were all sorts of things on there. Quite interesting.

What up world traveller!!

Just got back from the Garden Centre (only 2km down the road, but that was my travelling for the day)...more greenhouse produce...haha. Glad to hear things are going well.

Laters bru,

DST
Gotta get that greenhouse pumping. What an awesome set up you got there.

Oh shit, I didn't know you were gonna be passing through amsterdam, LUCKY!!!
Life is very good for sure.

i cant wait to go with my man...probably for the next cannacup..we have a plan we are going to find the hottest proffesional young lady in the red light district and rent her as our official joint/blunt roller...my boyfriend makes me roll he says its the absolut best to have a beautiful young lady roll up your smoke for you..but im on vacation so bring on the hooker...lol...im sorry i mean profesional call girl

ps my favorite buttons are the 7th and 8th ones they look they are short hand for asshole..big and lil....lol
You guys sound like me and my wife. Having a cute young thing at your call is a good thing indeed. Vacation or no, haha. You gotta get some pictures of that when it happens.

and I didn't know you were a girl. I'll try to watch my language.;-)

Good fun Jig. I've always wanted to make that trip around Europe with the highlight being Amsterdam. Live it up and we'll see your girls when you get back.
I'm a big proponent of traveling now. I never knew how awesome it was... really opens your eyes and makes the world bigger and more exciting. Absolutely the best.

When you go to amsterdam, you gotta try riding a bike around. It's pretty hectic, but just follow the locals and you'll do ok.

Wow man,, I didn't know you were abroad. Awesome! Sounds like an amazing experience. Did those walk up booths have seeds? :) I'll bet you got some amazing pictures, please share a couple. Since you will probably read this when you are home, Welcome Home my friend!
I didn't see any seeds, but I wasn't looking very closely. They had many types of herb, and more types of hash. It was such a trip.

Thanks for the welcome home. I'll post some pics soon.

Hey Jig pal glad your having a good travel. Some day i hope to fuck off for awhile and sample the worlds finest.

Im sure if your wife knew how much you missed her being your road dogg shed give ya a bigg ole smootch. Good luck and happy trails Jig 1BMM:peace:
Yeah, I guess she missed me too while we were apart. It was good to get back together, but like the asshole I am sometimes I started a big fight and we went to sleep pissed. Isn't it a bitch sometimes when you can't do anything but fuck something up. Oh well, we made up in the morning and all's well.

Thanks for the well wishes my friend.

Safe journeys to Mr and Mrs Jigfresh!! Hope your girls are keeping happy and wet.
Thanks bru. Hope you and yours are doing amazing as well.

Welcome home, the ladies looked like they knew you were gone. You know "while dad's gone we should stretch as much as we can" lol
It's seriously unbelievable how much they stretched. I feel like such a noob, haha. It really is like they knew I wasn't around. Damn plants, ha.

WeyHey, welcome home holmes:mrgreen: I am sure you were reasonably happy to see lush greenness in your cab!! Nice one. Now to get them back in order. Hope your cats didn't get up to too much naughtyness.
The cats were well behaved, no messes... but I did screach when I saw the plants. My wife said I sounded like a little girl. She came running in " What's wrong", hahaha.

Just back from the potting shed, first joint of the day - a dried joint of NY47, pretty mofo tasty:bigjoint: - oh, and a little bong of it on the side (not quite convinced it's as good as the chem-d linneage though!)
I gotta say I'm a little jealous. That looks like some good smoke there. It's a good think I have a seed of that strain. I will smoke some soon enough.

About the clones.... I don't want to mess with any now that I see the PM.

Wawa wewa! Looking good ;) Why don't you try some different "styles" on them and see what you like best?! And take some clones, they seem sturdy to bounce back like that :blsmoke:

//CaL
I think I am going to experiment a little. I'll keep you all posted.

Have you thought about putting the plants behind your screen? Then you could start weaving now and like the others said takes some clones.
There's no room behind the screen. I just tied them back to the screen. I think this will work... we will see if and when the 1000w gets in there.

looks green to me 8)
Too much green, lol.

its time to whip these girls into shape start weaving those brances and supercrop and stake up the one that wont reach..dont hesitate to chop of a branch here and there if its gettin too out of control u'll make up for the weight on the other ones
That is for sure one of the things I learned last grow. I'd rather have a few fatter buds than hundreds of little ones. I'm going to be picking off growth a lot more this round. I might ask you for tips.

I would get to training those girls. If you cant work them through the screen because they're too tall, just use twist ties to secure them where you want.
I'm using zip ties. I like pvc a lot. :hump:

Grow update next.
