U got another one of those huge plants m blaze ?

Click to expand...

It was a clone that we got off the last plant but I am taking some time off from growing so I found a new home for it and gave it away but I will still go there every few days to see how she is doing.

Im not sure exactly how old it is so I will have to look back and see.

Damn M.....those are fucking Sick!!! how do you do that??? just trim up your plants to just the top branches or what?

Click to expand...

I trim the plant up to the FIM so I have only 4 main branches to work with and I trim up each of those branches along with each of the smaller branches that grow from each main branch.

FUCKING WOW MAN, Did u have to use a chainsaw to chop those BFG's ? Well done mate 6 pound thats just WOW!!!! i will be hoping i gety around the same once my room is in full swing, i'd be happy with 4 or 5 But 6 is off the show!!
WELL DONE BRO!!!

quick question,,,, do u know where I can get a roll of that twist tie stuff,,, walmart? or maybe like an office supply or home depot???

M Blaze said:

Yeah thats it. I buy rolls of the stuff and just cut it to length. They work great coz they are easy to tie to the branches without having to tie a knot, just a simple twist.

I was wondering that myself. My roommate saves the stuff that's tying down stuff in packaging. He has long pieces of it.

any true value or ace hardware store sells long twisty ties in the garden section...for tying shit off...otherwise get em for free at alberstons at the produce section

M Blaze said:

I get it from a hardware store and sometimes the supermarket. From memory I get it in like 10 or 15 metre rolls which have a built in cutter on the roll so you dont even need scissors.

One thing you need to look out for is where it wraps around the branch because as the branch gets thicker it can cut into the branch. Not really a big problem but if you can avoid it (which you can) by loosening the wire every so often then you may as well do it hey.

I was just wondering how the string running across the room work? What is the purpose of them?

if you was to cut off all the bud off them trees and re veg do you think your veg time would be less and yield more?

That string is used to help support the branches once they start getting weigh on them and helps to spread the branches kind of like a screen. It is usually used throughout the whole flower period but I took it down half way through because it was giving me the shits coz it was getting hard to move around in there. Instead I ended up going with the overhead tying option which is a bit more work but it makes it easier to walk around the plants. The string screen works great if you got the room and the patience for it.

I dont think so but I have never tried because it just doesnt seem it would be any easier. Gypsybush has been talking about trying grafting though and these stems are probably great candidates to plug a lot of branches into and that would be interesting to see.

u definitely got the farming skills m blaze. i wish i would have got 600w lights instead of the 1000w.

Ridiculous grow MBlaze. Very well done.

Quick question. In those buckets you're using filled with coco, are their any holes in the bottom. Is this a type of hempy bucket grow (where it gets a smallish rez) or just a straight up media-in-bucket grow with run-off holes?

You've really got a game-changing grow going on here. 3 plants and that yield. Really changes the risk:reward ratio for non-legal growers. Props.

Yeah the top pot with the medium has lots of holes in the bottom so the water can drain off into the lower pot and then out the hose.

Hey TM bro, im taking some time off from growing for a little while. I have even pulled down all my equipment in the grow room so now its just a room. Ive lent my gear to a friend so he can keep something going though .

Blaze how does the excess water get out the hose? Do you have to siphon it off or pump it out, Or do you just leave it there until the grow is finished? That bit still escapes my thinking out your system.

The water just runs out on its own due to gravity and the hose being open at both ends with one end raised up to act as a kind of breather helps as well. No pumps involved at all. The hose must be running down slightly so it works best if you have the pot sitting up an inch or 2 off the ground so the water flows easier. These hoses run down below the floor level and the water drains outside.

This pic you can see that the hose is not quite sitting on the floor so it wont drain to well. The hose must be running down on a slight angle.

Does that all make sense coz im pretty wasted right now?

yeah me too. soooooo, I guess my understanding of siphoning is that the hose has to be full of water for that to happen. Is there some kind of check valve or water trap to keep air out of the hose and losing "your prime"? Because I suck at siphoning, LOL.
