PC: So I didnt know what the hell a ptron was and i searched for it: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=13059&page=1&pp=15&highlight=phototron
Looks kind of cool. A vertical light grow. You made yours yourself? does it keep your moms pretty vigorous?
Whats ms. o'wreck? Trainwreck and something else im betting...
ABITA: I can usually find good deals on ballasts on CL. Wish you the best. You only have the one ballast?
closeup again of a flo bud. now this was taken under a 400w mh so you cant see the crystals all that well, but there are more there than what you see.

indeed bro.. sounds like the ability to quickly replace is somewhat out of the question? Do you usually order online or take a drive?I've had a cheap chinese-assembled ballast start to cook on me because it wasn't built cleanly.. was at a remote location that I only visted every 5 days or so too.. opened the door and thought there had been a fire inside from the smell, that was a scary morning.
You maybe have some temporary flouros to hook up to keep the light schedule on? I'm not up to speed on the scope of what you're currently running, but hopefully it's not a total loss...
Let us know how things are looking.. maybe someone will have an idea or two. Sorry to hear about the bad luck...
Keep it chill bird, you'll figure it out.
no big deal bro...
no big deal bro...
if ur plants were at 12/12 its ok to leave them in the dark for a couple of days 3 at most, never left the lites off for more then 3 days. should give u enough time to find a replacement....i talking from experience....Hope this helps.

Damn bird, that's some terrible news, I hope everything works out.
Nice shrooms Phil those are some fucking fatties, I was thinking of starting to grow 'em again, just a single batch or two but IDK. Don't have any spores or anything besides a PC anymore, tossed a lot of my aging equipment a few months ago after a contaminated batch. Then again, I'm not much of a tripper anymore, I probably did a lifetimes worth of random psychedelics over the last 5 years.
I love that Jock Oscuridad, looks very appetizing.

PC: I've heard of the Ogre. Cause it's big and green and powerful 
I think there's a thread on some guy's search for an Ogre-type in a strain: he was gonna pop hundreds of seeds to find one...
I'm glad you got moms dating back 5 years. My Flo is already a year old and I might have to hold onto her for a while. they say clones lose their vigour after a while but at least in your case not within 5 years...
That Flo you're running looks nothing like mine. Super frosty and purple; they purpled up on me too once when temps got cold in the winter... Good work!
Those are some big ass effing schrooms, man. when dry i guess they'll lose a lot of weight, will still be huge (and hopefully less phallic looking). never really had schrooms before. i saw that episode of "Entourage" where the crew went to joshua tree and tripped on schrooms. lets just say things were getting very deep during that episode...
OSC: Your lineup looks very, very nice. sounds like you've cracked many a seed in your day? do you have many keepers or do you continually like variety? all the seeds youve grown, you havent found one that was so much better than the others that you had to keep a mother of it?
That looks like an impressive yield from a 400 (gotta love the sog; im going to sog it up too). I have 2 400's and i dont think a harvest has ever been as big as that.
im hoping to change that soon...
Luaith: Is that a homebox? this next run looks ready to go. should have some dank riches in about 2-3 months. you dont have dishes under those pots to catch the extra water? what are u going to be feeding them, some mix of guano tea? u an organic guy? if i were soil, id be organic...
is that the la con on the right? they both look dense and frosty. hows the smoke on those girls? bet they hit u just riiiight...
UPDATE:
Gotta love the peat pellets! roots in 6 days...
My poor nycd moms, for some reason vegging real slowly. this was the batch i heavily overnuted, and took flowering clones from. i hope they reveg so i can get some clones, i never really had a chance to smoke her (first crop was all seeds).
I've decided to crack 3 Super Star seeds out of 5 that were gifted to me! Hope I get a female! I'll probably keep the males around to make some F2's: i just hope i can limit how many seeds are made...

paint brush pollination....
paint brush pollination....
do what i do, use a small paint brush from a water color kit...dip the paint brush in ur favorite pollen and just paint 1 bud thats forming or just paint 1 branch with pollen...turn ur fans off when doing so....Hope this helps.
here's my old grow room in full bloom, I used to grow 100 miles away from my house and i would only check and refill my buckets once a week....it was one of them set it and forget it grows. as u can see it worked...

Babba...
yeah thats the homebox XL...i may get another after this run..i like em..
i usually take all the plants out and water them in the bathtub,or kitchen sink.
when they get bigger i'l be using a 5 gallon bucket for the run off and then place them back in the tent...after watering.
yes..i am an organic man..FFOF plus organic compost from my bro and extra perlite.
and i use Age Old Organics for ferts....thats it..
i should get some guano though..
the LA con is to the left,and Geisha to the right.with a mix of popcorn buds of both in the middle..
been smoking the geisha for 2 months now and it hasnt grown old on me.no ceiling to this bud.and the taste is so sweet now with the 60 day cure...very uplifting high.
and the LA con is a skunky bitch and indica stone compared to the geisha.
both strains are top knotch..
GrapeKrush male..
i plan on X the GK male into the BS 2.2.
have a great day...
oh on a side note...even though i live in the midwest i am a native of Boston....
so...
GO REDSOX!!..lol...im such a dork!
