SOooo sick Mister D!
Very clean and pro! Cant wait to see you crank it out!!
Maybe I missed or forgot but what strain/clone you running?

Sm-90 does add a little cloudy-ness to gh6/9 ime. Adding it after everything else is what I do next to last before Dripclean...but i bet it dont matter.

Thanks for stopping by critter. I'm running an old cut of jack herer, the bazooka joe cut of romulan, bogglegum, cenex, and dead man's kush. About to crack some more seeds too :biggrin:

. Good to know i'm not the only one experiencing the clouding. As long as it doesn't cause any issues I don't mind.

What it do D! :whee:

Pretty fuckin awesome dude! I am of course really diggin' the placement of the MAXIMUM BITCHEN suction unit! that is killer! :woohoo:

diggin' the rubberized floor pan deal too...

i just cant wrap my head around plants on shelves like that...should they be angled towards the light? i know it can and will/should work but...just foriegn to me i guess...cant wait to see how this turns out!!

fuckin bitchen dude! :woohoo:

nice flood table too!!

Mister_D · Aug 17, 2012

Bonz - I had the same thought awhile back watching bobble setup his racks. What bob taught/showed me is plants will naturally grow towards the light :biggrin:

I'll likely need to do a bit of staking and/or bending to get some of them angled out away from the shelves, but they are doing most of the work for me. Transplanting them into the final pots at an angle is also an option depending on how your veg is setup. Or you could angle the racks, many ways to skin this beast. If you need any explaination just let me know, happy to help. Took me a minute to wrap my mind around it too. The floor pan isn't rubberized, just the bottom foot of each rack. The whole system sits in a pondliner pool. Basicly just a 8x8' box made of 2x8's with pondliner lining the inside. Like a big ebb/flow table only without any fill/drain holes :biggrin:

. This room design is the culmination of 10 years growing and studying. Also at least 6 months of obsessing over the details, and making everyone think I was full of shit :laughing:

. I was looking through my satori grow the other day, funny to see how my "play" area has grown up :biggrin:

Vert is the future and the wise will follow. It's like freds is always sayin though, some get it, most don't.....

DHF · Aug 17, 2012

Sideways lumens with everything that ain`t green covered in reflectix is.......

The way , the truth , and the light.....simply cuz....

It makes the room itself it`s own air-cooled reflector with dialed results documented for yrs and yrs , but so much has fallen through the cracks .....so....

It`s down to basics.......Watts per sq ft and environment dialage...

Hope the Orca works out fer yas D Bro........Can`t wait till yas get this dialed and hoonin......

I angled my racks cuz it let the backs of the plants able to be left somewhat intact once I hacked out what was necessary to the overall sideways canopy.....Hell.....

I was growin 1.5 oz plants compared to big plants I was used to , so K.I.S.S. was a warm welcome fer my old ass.....just hadta increase plant numbers....and then it was...

Simple....Babyshit.....

Peace....Freds... :ying:

Mister_D · Aug 17, 2012

Just wait til I get the hog fence in there fred :biggrin:

. Gonna bend these bitches over and tie em down hard :spanky:

.

Told you guys awhile back D's got some tricks up his sleeve :peacock:

Mister_D · Aug 18, 2012

Shut off the feed manifold, and gave the res a shock dose (10ml per gal.) of food grade peroxide (35%) yesterday. If that slime is bacterial in nature, it's dead now :biggrin:

. I'll check everything tommorow and see how the filters look. Also grabbed 6 gal. each of micro & bloom, another ph pen, light meter, mag drive 7 pump, bunch more coco chips, and about 100 more seeds :biggrin:

. Going to crack some today, as soon as I decide what I want to pop :laughing:

Mister_D · Aug 18, 2012

Final decision has been made:

10 Destroyer
10 Chemy Jones
10 Connoisseur Chem

:laughing:

I might get to monocrop next year..... Breeding room needs to be built sooner than later also. Hate having those kinds of problems, but i'm dying to smoke some haze :biggrin:

.

bobblehead · Aug 18, 2012

Good to see you picked up the 6gal jugs... I'd rather draw attention by hauling out big bottles of ferts 1x every few months than be in there every other week buying single gallons.... My $0.02... A large stockpile of coco helps too.

Mister_D · Aug 18, 2012

Already used half or more of the two gallons I got, so ya needed to up myself to baller status :laughing:

. Bought 20 more blocks of coco too :biggrin:

. I just don't trust my ph pen lately for some reason. Not having any issues, but I still will feel better having two to compare against eachother. lol must be my OCD acting up again....

sgapetti · Aug 19, 2012

Looking great in there D, way to go. Thx for the pm on destroyer, i am going to follow them very closely as they are next om my to buy list. I just need to go true my Sam the skunkman freebies first and see what i find in there. The ones grown so far have a great terpens profile and complex high, i believe there are some excellent genetics to be found in there. I finally build me a moms/clones cab, taking clones from 2 sam freebies as we speak to see what comes out of it.
Peace S

Keep up the good work man, I been following that thread!
I have Sam's HazexSkunk freebies too, and appreciate your posts there!

Mister D,
Nice selection you have there, looking forward to watching your grow! Take care...Hazed

Destroyers seem to be slow to germ this round. Only one had a tap root big enough to transplant to a cup yesterday. Two, maybe three others has just begun to crack. Hopefully they are just slow. The con chem and chemmy jones are 21/21 germ rate already so I know it's not me. I've been watching your skunkman freebies, as well as a few others that are growing them with great interest also. I've had the pleasure of speaking with sam on a few occasions. Really cool cat, and extremely knowledgeable. He gave me some very interesting breeding advice concerning the skunk/haze line. Definitely some gems to be found :biggrin:

Thanks bro, but this is just the beginning. I ordered another 100 seeds last week. Going to crack them all over the next few crops and locate a new mother or two. Sgapetti is my brotha from another mother, and well on his way to becoming master of the micro grow :woohoo:

. One of the best students i've ever had, and a great friend. Grows some killer shit too, and he clones better than bobble :laughing:

Hey ya buddy. I've been hearing and seeing nothing but good things about/from csg. Had a craving for chem the last year or so, but can't seem to source a clean and legit cut. Pretty sure i'll find something to scratch the itch in 2 packs of con chem, 2 of pepe la chem, and 11 chemmy jones. If not, guess i'll buy some more seeds.

Here's the stats so far:
11/11 chemmy jones cracked and have been transplanted to cups of coco.
10/10 Con Chem cracked. 7 of them are in cups of coco, the other 3 just needed to get a bit bigger before transplant.
1/10 Destroyer cracked and was transplanted. Two maybe three more were showing signs of cracking, but i'm not holding my breath at this point. Hope to see the others do their thing also, as I know it's not user error. I'm sitting at around 600 seeds cracked with nearly 100% germ ratio. To be honest the seeds looked a bit premature also. If they don't make it, i'll contact charlie and i'm sure he will sort me out. Always been a stand up guy in the past. If these don't make it, i'll try my luck with the other pack while I wait for replacements.

I have new pics I'll upload in an hour or so, chores need tending first. Oh bonz, no buds yet, but they are stretching like a motherfucker :biggrin:

.

Mister_D · Aug 21, 2012

A few of the new recruits. Hopefully alot more to add in next few days. Pure coco flushed and charged with .6ec tap water. Probably hit them with half strength 6/9 once they dry up a bit.

Couple of romulan and some two day old cenex and dead man kush clones.

Jacks getting ready for the big pots. Another 2-3 days and they'll be up to the top of aquarium, perfect size for transplant.

Roots excell and sm-90 having no problems working together here. As a side note, roots excell spanked the shit out of GH's rapid start :biggrin:

I'm always looking for ways to increase my root mass. This idea occured to me when I was fighting root aphids. My clones were growing lanky as a result of being unhealthy. I cut all but the top couple branches off each clone and buried all but the top few inches in coco. All of the nodes where branches were removed become fast changing tissue that forms roots. I'm going to continue doing this even now that my clones are healthy. Bigger roots equal bigger buds. This picture shows a before and after transplant.
