Amazing

Amazing

Arrr.... The growers waters be harsh.... It appears ye have survived the storm though!

I really like your sense of humor and your female friends
We should get together! It'd be a real party! :yay:


This is a party^^

Pretty impressive grow though no doubt. I wouldn't mind setting up a similar system using 4 of your 3x3 trays. Why 3? I dunno.. I just like even numbers.

And I like to think...

BIG! :yay:

ARRRRRRRRRRR!!!! A toast to the Capt'm!! And his sticky lasses! I christen thee "Budtanic"

Your brave for using that much electric man! all those lights fans pumps ,Ac jeeeze.
You must have a private place to have all that and no air filters!

I get scared using my little 126 watt led panel in my cabinet sometimes hahahaha!!!

 

[EstimatedProph]

Wow man, this grow should serve as inspiration to us all!

 

[Ghostwolf]

hey pirate , glad your still around . he can you send me a pm . thanks

 

[kerdiggz]

hey pirate... this is one hell of a setup!
i love all the DIY stuff! its definately inspired me to create a similar setup, only on a smaller scale. but, one could only hope to emulate a portion of your success.

i'm currently using the 3 part GH Flora series, but after seeing this, i wanna try the lucas formula. when using the lucas formula...

do you gradually raise the ppms from pre-flower and througout flowering? or do you just strictly go with the 0-5-10 & 0-8-16 strategy throughout?

 

[Ghostwolf]

Pirate bump. ARRRRR!

 

[Velvex]

grant, you're inspiration man, awesome things you've done there

Well we took down the Speed Queen and Hashberry yesterday. Ended up with just over 3/4 pounds.(calculated dry weight at a conservative 80%) The Satori needs to go another week or so. I expect 1/4# or a little more. Totaling over 1# for my new tables style. Now that I've seen the results I am going to build 7 more of the 3x3 tables I've shown earlier in this thread. I'm happy if I can bust 1+ pounds per 3x3 table. So.......here comes my building frenzy.

Here are a few photos: Nothing special.

My Wench is pissed because I'm making her earn her keep on Valentines Day !! After She's done with trimming she'll clean the ships decks and cook my grub

My high tech trimming machine

Now this pile includes 3 Speedqueen phenos. 2 of which grow way smaller than the 3rd. The smaller pheno mothers are gone already. The keeper pheno is hitting 14+ grams per "Stalagmite". Nice. I expect the next harvest of these to be far more weight wise based on this keeper plant. Keep in mind........I grow SOG with plants 5 inches apart, 24 inches tall (max) and lollipopped...... 50 plants x 14 grams = 700grams of possible harvest weight for a 3x3 table. I can live with that.
Speed Queen getting weighed:

Same pile

Here is a Tabasco Sauce jar next a Speed Queen so you can see how big the cola is :smile:

I am only hanging on to these Speed Queens until my AK47 is ready for mass cloning. I'm growing the mothers up now. I've already grown a few AKs out, found the keeper and am waiting IMPATIENTLY for it to replace my current stock. HURRY UP DAMMIT !!! I want my AK47. Photos soon. Buds

Later Scallywags !!..........

what AK pheno are you looking for I popped a bunch of beans and pollinated with some of the males i found... i'll send you a pic once i figure out how to use IC mag...

thanks!

Awesome buds pirate.

Hi Pirate,
First let me add my kudos regarding this classic operation.
Can I ask a couple of questions please?
First, are you utilising the entire 12 feet of headroom that you have there? The reason I ask is that I have more like 10.5 feet to work with, and it seems like I should be able to do a two-tiered system, if I use air-cooled lights, air conditioning, dehumidification and CO2.
The second is regarding mothers. Similar to yourself, I'm hoping to produce 100 babes every two weeks. I was hoping (after reading the bonsai moms thread) that this was achievable with about 12 Bonsai moms under T5's. It seems like I may be way off base judging from how much wattage you are devoting to your mothers. Can you comment?
Again, Bravo.
SW
