Sir_dabs First Grow *Total Newbie*

He went to go get one.

Got me the last of that Kizzle

HUUUMMP DAAAY!!..what what!!.
Good Morning Colorado Rollers!

Things are going extremely well, at this stage, I'm blown away by what 12 hours under 1000w + super setting is producing.

I believe it was about 11:30 pm when I had last checked on them last night, opened up the tent around 8:15am...and the progression in that time frame dropped my jaw.

Today I'm starting my flush, and was wondering...
I was gifted a bottle of” Clearing Solution”...

Does anybody use a product like this for their flush?
Any tips on the flush process?

Anywho some pics... My frost is loaded up in the flower itself, but, damn it all..
I want frosty trims too...that's right trims..lol..

Still feel as though these pics don't do them justice..

Even though I'm happy with the abundant resin building up along with the swelling of the calyx (s).. ..
*side-bar??*plural of calyx?..hehe...

But it's whatevvas..



2 pheno^ and down...


Neville's..

I personally have never used a "flush" solution, but from what I read some usually just add H2O2 (peroxide added to the water).

We need to get you a Mazar-I or some Mob Boss if you want a ton of frosty 'trim', talk about sticky icky leaves as far as the eye can see

I just drag them to the bathtub and rinse until clear, then plain water for the last week and a half or so.

I just read through the entire thread. Wish I'd picked it up at the beginning. Great thread.

More pics and posts!!! If anyone complains that you're over posting on your own thread they can suck it. Your plants look great. I like seeing and reading about your progress.

I think the reason why I was compelled to read was that you seem just so damn nice. Like a very cool guy to know.

I've grown for several years. Not great, but my budget was abysmal and genetics were poor, so you're already doing better than I probably ever did. Not growing currently due to certain circumstances, and it makes me sad. After having your garden up and running for years, seeing it dismantled and stopping a grow is painful. It's like I killed a friend.

So anyway the one thing I was really good at was cloning. >98% success rate over several years of having a continually running personal garden of 6-12 plants at a time. Cloning at least every other week.

I'm a few beers in, so let me try to get to the point. On your next flowering period go ahead and cut a few of the lower branches for cloning. From the looks of it you had plenty of greenery this time.

Why? Well for evil science experiments of course. You sound like you've got the passion for growing so expand on that. Try shit out, don't be afraid of killing plants, as long as it's for experimentation. There's always a fear of doing anything different when you're first starting out, but I think that's a mistake. You have to try things you're not sure about, see how it goes, then introduce changes to your main garden and see how that goes.

Supercropping is scary, until you snap a main stem and watch it repair itself. How about trying some LST first? I really enjoyed the results from LST. You could simply bend things over without breaking them and create an even canopy with some constant adjustments. It's a helleva lot more work than just letting them go natural, but when space becomes an issue, it's a good thing to know.

I used these for manipulating the branches, worked great!


Ok, done.

Thank you gents.. Input is much appreciated.

@Azh... Sounds like I need to add those strains to the next cycle

@Sah.. Great tip brother, however I've got my plants scrog'd , a LOT...

@Jack... Thank you brother. Those are some mighty kind words my friend, thank you very much, much respect buddy.
Honestly, the successfulness of this grow is highly dependent upon the tutelage of my piers.

Genetics played a huge role as well.
Thanks for your contribution, please stick around for the finish.

This is why this section is so great!!

Damn, thru everybody...I can feel genuine love/care and respect.

I'm so glad I've joined RIU, one would think
” ah..big whoop, joined a Marijuana forum”

But joining this forum, has literally made a huge impact in my real everyday life..
and that's because of the super awesome people I've meet here both in person and virtual acquaintances.

Thank you to everybody!!

Going off the trail per se with this particular post.
So, my Mom who is a nice old traditional Filipino Mother is coming to Colorado today to see our fruits of our labor; being our first home. And simply because we haven't seen each other in 7 years.

She is extremely traditional...
i.e... under the impression that cannabis is evil.

Well, she is very aware of my disease, and the plight that comes along with my condition; severe chronic pain, random bouts of nausea, anxiety insomnia...etc etc.

So, last night I decided to tell her about Medical Cannabis and it's benefits..
Man..I was nervous..lol

Surprisingly, after telling her that three different doctors and my physical therapists recommend cannabis for my condition, she was understandably a bit baffled, and wasn't even aware of the recent findings backing cannabis as a viable medicine.

Anywho.. This weekend, of course I'll need to be utilizing cannabis like every other day, only my usual methods of consumption are oil rig & giant creme brulee torch, or my large old school bong, glass bong, but no diffusion no perc, o ring style...haha...lol.. Or giant bomber joints filled with bubble hash.

I do not believe any of these methods of consumption look like medicinal means of administration.
*get to the point a-hole*..haha

So, I snatched up one of dem dare fancy” O-Pen” vaporizers.
Shelled out just under 50$ (that I really couldn't afford).. But got the pen USB charger and a 250 mg cartridge. (Co2 oil)
and the pen.

This is by a long shot, the very best pen I've utilized, very very efficient, no cough at all, and the taste is true to it's strain.

I'm in love with the convenience...effectiveness and how discreet this is.
I picked Headband for my first experience with the O-Pen.

Wow, and wow..come to mind

This is now my 2nd favorite method of vaping oil, nothing better than the Ti thru a water rig IMO.
But, this pen is awesome!!

For those looking for a vape pen .. O-Pen is where it's at!!
Buy one now..lol

Can you tell I'm rambling???

Good Morning and happy Friday all!!

How are you getting such good photos under your light?

Woohoo #3 is a beaut! With holding the goods from your buddies, sly devil you are! Yea and ditto to what Garlic said, my pictures always look hazy, due to the HPS lights.

Great question...

To be honest, I don't know...lol
Get this...

What would you guess I'm shooting with?

A Nikkon?...
Nope..8mp HTC phone...lol..an old one at that.
I set my setting to the Macro setting and focus and refocus, use the flash, and I get great pics..
It did take a while to get used to the lighting from the HPS.

SO, the honest answer...luck?

If anybody wants to have me take their pics and post them...let me know..

Seems like I may have a hidden talent for photography..
I know a bunch of peeps using 500$+ cameras and their pics are blurry, un-focused and lack clarity.

I'm rocking a My Touch 4g 8 mp camera/phone...

Y'all tell me who's shot is better...hehe

Just kidding around...I'm not that arrogant..lol

Need pics on this page....snort, snicker...tee-he..

Stoked to see everything working out so well for you man!

Excellent job on your first time.

Better than mine was that's for sure!

Hey dabs, nice fucking job my dude! I'm about to start my first "official" grow tomorrow and I can only hope it goes half as well as yours. The parenthesis are firmly in place around the word official because my father (for whatever reason) had decided to fuck with my environmental controller (during my first "unofficial" grow) and somehow raised my tent's nighttime RH up to 90%. It was a solid week before I noticed!!! A week before my beauties underwent their flip, they had all contracted a strange and particularly virulent type of fungal disease. I had to tear them all down after watching my hairy little, newly sprouting buds, succumbed to this plague. My apologies for rambling, anyway bro keep on growing that dank, you definitely got the green thumb homie.

Again; such kind words!!

I have to say, that the grow itself in coalition with the advice/help and words of kind sentiment have been a transcendental experience!!

It's a” grounding” feeling..a feeling of peace and tranquility...” Zen” comes to mind.
Unifying the soul with nature..

I'm in love with this experience and hope to progress into a deeper unity.
These last few days...

I'm just like..” Whoa” every twelve hours..

So kewel..

Happy Sunday Rollers...
