The Marijuana chronicles

[Bennyweed1]

So I had a journal before but I couldn't find where it went, or perhaps, where I left it.

Anyway, I wont go into much detail, basically if ya got anything for me, ask a question; otherwise I'll assume all the cats around these parts already know what they are doing and dont need to ask any questions. Ya dig?

My veg space consist of 2x T5 lamps and the bloom space runs 2x600w hps and one 400w hps.

Im runnin' a staggered harvest hittin every 3 weeks. Im happy when I bust over 12oz but it isnt every time.

I know I could be doing things better but on the other hand I dont have to do much maintenance the way I have things now.

Pic1 is a group photo and the rest in this first line up of photos 5 jack flash in their 4th outta 6th wk of veg.

This round is the new cuts just entering wk 1.

First pic are some new momma plants im bringing up. white widow x big bud, and critical sensi star.

The second pic is my three other established momma's. Grand daddy purple(which has zero coloring to it), jack flash, and pure power plant.

Everything is water only organic soil.

 

[Bennyweed1]

Here is the bloom area. These plants are in wk 4. Everything in here is suckin' the juice from blumats hooked up to a auto top off fresh water resv.

I hand water with a tea once every 1.5 wk, aside from that I check up on these plants every 4 days to make sure nothing went a drift.

I admit my camera is not the best, but until I get a better one....

Here is the only decent pic I could get of plants in wk 7 that only has 2 outta the 5 in this set. Its hard to get a decent pic of this set because these plants are around the bulb left on for photos. Its the 400w turned down to 200w.

 

[Bennyweed1]

And here is the last bunch in wk 1 on flower

 

[Bennyweed1]

So what do people use to up load their picture with around here? This ICmag photo storage will get used up quick?

If ya got any pointers, let me here'em. Thanks.

Hi Bennyweed. Nice lineup of strains. I'm really impressed with how well your veg room does with only 2 -t5's. About the pics, I'm starting to run low too, I think most people just delete the pics from their older threads to make room for the new ones.

Yes you read correctly, 12oz a cycle. I would love to be around the 15-16oz mark, if ya can lend up some simple tips, that be killer.

Remember though, I dig a simple arrangement. Right now all my work consist of a 30 minute check up every 4 days and a bi weekly tea feeding. It's pretty simple and I need that.

 

[Bennyweed1]

How ya finding the air pots?

Ya know I been using them so long that its had to imagine anything else. They just make things easier, such as transplanting and they really let everything breath.

I don't know if they actually perform better or if is all psychological mind fuck.

I have some no till soil beds in there that out perform everything. I try to arrange 6 plants around each light when I can and shoot for 2zips a plant which the air pots do. The soil beds average about 2.5zips a plant.

Well tomorrow is wk 5 for the rear row of girls in veg. One more wk and they go into the flower room.

I cant help my self but admire sexy plants during veg. Seeing these plants in the wild would be like watching a infant admire gold for the first time.

Five jack flash and one grand daddy purple.

(sorry I deleted the pics on accident)

 

[Bennyweed1]

And here is the good news. I finally treated myself to a real nice digital camera, Ive been tossing around the idea for the last 2 yrs. Should be here in a few days.

Got the works, tripods, flashes, real excited to take some awesome pics like I see around here from you old geezers .

Here is the closet set of girls to the door, which are really the only girls I can get photos of, its tight in there. 5'wx7'hx10'L with 18 plants, ill just end up burning the shit outta myself. Speakin' of, when was the last time you did that?

Its so damn weird I swear. When I bump into a bare bulb for a split second I feel zero pain, I just feel that I bumped into something..... but then two days later...... ill have a bigass weird lookin blister that I gotta try and explain to people without totally sounding full of shit. That ever happen to you?

Anyway, this set is entering wk 5 outta 9 of bloom tomorrow. This round is in the no till soil beds. Looking good IMO.

The new camera showed up today. I gave her a run without having my tripod yet and so far I am diggin' it. I will be able to take awesome macro shots which I always wanted to be able to do once I get all my stuff and these girls are in natural lighting.

Here are some week 5 stuff.

Grand daddy purple

 

[Bennyweed1]

Here is what impresses me. I was able to take some damn decent marco shots without the tripod while still being right next to a blinding hps bare bulb. The white balance does he good job removing or blocking the orange glaze of the HPS's.

Can not wait to get these girls in natural lighting, its gonna be porn for days!

great white shark

 

[Jnugg]

Once you get that tripod setup and some natural lighting...very good macros.Waitin' on the bud porn my friend.
