Take a break, relax, and come have a smoke here in the Teachers Lounge

[stoned teacher]

Hey folks

It's me, Stoned Teacher....gonna start a little diary...All are welcome to talk about the grow, politics, weed, women, sports....hopefully with some good vibes.

A little about me...

I grow weed.

I have been prone to fvck up sometimes, but I'm getting better. Polite advice is welcome....

I'm somewhere on the Eastern half of the country

My setup

I grow in coco

tiny little cuttings room, 400 watt mh veg/moms, 2k on the bloom room

I run to waste in a gravity drip system.

My setups not super clean and professional, and neither am I..... I'm always changing shit around...

I have been running Monkey Juice as my primary nute but...I'm days away from installing an RO system (tap water is .52EC and I think that's holding me back) and switching to floranova ...little suppliments are hygrozyme, pk 13/14, maybe a little liquid karma if I'm feeling saucy....

Here's some cloning...straight in coco and perlite, make sure it's stays wet, 1/4 strength nutes, and then roots.....I used to have trouble cloning...found OK success with the bubble cloner, then found this to be way too easy to not do...

 

[Raistlin Majere]

i am on board brother
always wanted to hang out in the teachers lounge
:friends: keep it green ST

 

[stoned teacher]

Lets move over to the flowering room....

The gravity drip setup...

Rebbermaid containers w/ ebb and flow's to these water timers....



then 1/2" hose goes down to a circle, with plenty of drippers off of it.....

 

[stoned teacher]

A few weeks later, the very same plants (blowfish), maybe 2 weeks into flower...some massive stretching going on. This is what's going on now....





My last grow...a mid-plant pic of the same blowfish cut, about 45 days in....

 

[ConceptOfSleep]

Oh im gonna be taggin along for this one!

Can't wait to see your flower set-up Teach!! Im doin a run with Coco for the first time myself. Its a handwatered set-up, but with only 8-9 ladies in the cab, I didnt wanna invest in a drip system yet.

So what strains do you have here in the Teacher's Lounge?



EDIT: Mmmmm Blowfish... yum

 

[stoned teacher]

Thanks for stopping by Raistlin and C.o.s!

Glad you asked Concept!

This round I'm running blowfish, two different Casey Jones's (have three different ones and haven't been able to let myself let em go.), some strawberry diesel, and Romulators Super Silver Haze for those days when those little wanna be thugs have been trying to front on the fine eduhmucation I'm offering them.....




Mostly blowfish and Strawberry diesel this run...prolly gonna veg out a lotta green crack and the other Casey Jones for my next run....

As of now I have two different res's so I can diversify feeding a little bit if I find one likes more than another....a third one might be a cheap future upgrade...

 

[cocktail frank]

looking great ST.
glad to see you started a diary, ill be around.
one question tho, does the teachers union frown upon us hanging out in the lounge for longer than our required lunch break?
i need at least a good hour to feast.

 

[Storm Crow]

Hi Teach! I'm a Special Ed aide! Hope things are doing better in your state. They are cutting things to the bone here. Nice start on the grow. Although I grow in dirt, I'll likely pop in now and then to see how it's going- just as a profession courtesy. lol - Granny

 

[Nomanishere]

Yeah teacher, that heavy duty tap water will get ya every time. Buying distilled water hurts the pocketbook in a hurry though, you will love the RO. I go from 8.5 PH (Yeah 8.5!!!) and like 300ppm tap to 6.5 and 8 ppm out of the RO. Sweet huh???

Only mistake I made was putting the waste water outlet from the RO too high up my drain and it makes a ton of noise when it is making the good stuff.

 

[stoned teacher]

Hey ya'll thanks for chiming in....

Frankie: Awesome to have you around, master yoda! A few things...
1. Fvck the teachers union. I wont go further but you know what... who the heck really cares..
2. Take your time eating...Makes it all the better when the raskals come back from eating plastic square sliced pizza and canned green beans with a pint of milk and you're only half way through your Wendy's Triple Cheeseburger biggie fries biggie drink and a frosty!

By the end of the period your passing S.B.D. gas in the aisles and blaming it on the kids....

Hey Storm Crow...nice to see some educators popping up in here.....yeah my district has gone through some cutbacks but I'm good...our department dropped our dead weight teachers.... Hope your summer was great, that your relaxed refreshed and ready for another year ...keep dropping in, keep it green, and ...never let em' see ya sweat!

Nomanishere: Yeah man I'm so excited...I've grown some "pretty decent" weed...better than anything else around here, but not close to what is on this site....and I've learned it's a lot because of the water I'm starting with....RO should be here any day! Enough to help this batch some and hopefully really see the difference next runaround

[chubbynugs]

i aint gonna pull up a chair ima pull up my couch to take my breaks in here. Looking good man. I basically have the same watts inside as you.

 

[Guest]

Hey Teach! This seems like a good place to pull up to the table. Having a thing for both teachers and weed -- how could I resist!
Those Blowfish ladies look long and lean. I can't wait to see what their end buds look like. Yum!

along for the ride,
-ac.

 

[stoned teacher]

Sorry it's been awhile...been busy with the beginning of school and had a few minor setbacks in the garden, but nothing huge...

Heat probs (next summer i'll have air cooled lights and maybe AC)
An injury kept me from doing a lot of tending to the garden....nothing huge...getting better....
RO water system took a while to hook up, but up and running now...
broken ph meter...gotta new one..

This is a transitional grow (I hope). Now with RO water and a strong idea on what nutes i'm giving it, i only expect better next grow (with cooler temps too)

Here's some crappy pics...i'll try to take some better ones as they get closer...Were at approx a month and a half or so....


ONe light on one light off....can you see the off light had to be raised to the ceiling to keep up with the blowfish stretch?

 

[Sleepy]

hope you heal quick, teach...

hope you heal quick, teach...




mr daddio...


hehehe The Blackboard Jungle is a favorite movie...

i'll be quiet now and let you show us how you grow...


looks interesting, mr. s.b.d.!!

 

[basement420]

Sorry to hear about your injury but, your plants are looking good. Hope mine get nice like that here soon. Good luck and wish you the best of luck with keeping up on the blowfish stretch, hope she doesnt get too far ahead of you.

 

[stoned teacher]

Alright tried to take some better pics.... Eventually I'll get a camera and tripod...and grows will only get better with cooler temps and finally, RO water for now on....

this grows midplant blowfish pic



i think these are strawberry diesel...yes i see banana male looking things but none of them have any solidness inside of them...they're innocent as of now, nothing i could see ever really hermie-ing....

 

[nycdfan042]

nice buds dude!

 

[Tonatiuh]

wattup stonedteacher.nice pics bro.
imma keep an eye on this one.
peace

 

[stoned teacher]

Sleepy, basement, nycd, and Tonatiuh, thanks for stopping by. Tonatiuh...one day, hopefully next grow, I hope to be up to fuckem application status.....for now, learning and improving!

Some more pics....getting to 7 or 8 weeks now....

some blowfish....yeah you can see a little burnage on leaves, but I'm getting there ....still plenty of frost and really putting out that fruity smell at this point....






Casey Jones (4) with blowfish behind it




Strawberry diesel....lots of nanners showing, but all innocent....I haven't felt any "hardness" in any of those nutsacks....but yeah I know it don't look good...possibly a heat thing
