So I moved into my new place last November. Next door neighbor is a good guy. Hippy in his mid sixty's n' shit. So we hang out on his deck, drink beer, and wish we knew where to score some smoke.
I say I'm gonna go talk to a pal of mine. Instead I come back over to my house, grab some weed n' head to the store to get smokes.
Show back up with some smoke from my 'friend' and we fuckin' blaze.

So I get a call from a life long friend of mine, apartment building caught on fire, needs a place for him, his wife, n' three kids. I offer my place.
They left this morning.

In the meantime I needed a place to keep some plants. Hippy guy tells me he'd be glad to help out baby sitting. (rule number one is now officially broken)

I gave him some 4ft. floro tubes, and instructions to keep everything under 24hr light. So you can imagine how stoked I felt this morning walking over to find white roots pouring out from the peatpucks...

Was not the fuckin' case my friends.

I asked why the lights were off.
He explained that keeping them on a 12/12 lighting schedule promoted faster, healthier growth.
'I didn't know that' was all I could reply.

Luckily some of the clones managed to survive....and instead of letting them air prune like I explained to him...he decided to 'share' the soil by digging dirt outta the large pots and filling small peat/coco pots with it.

Luckily he didn't mark the Strawberry Blue from the #8's...so I have a nice hodgepodge going on....

I should have just killed everything in retrospect.

...there is a silver lining however.... he offered me some reading material...

tleaf, noyd, always a pleasure.

re: lookin' like their flowering. I was told they went into 12/12 seven days ago...but they had been under 48hrs of darkness before I picked them up. So I have absolutely no clue where I stand with them. Heavily over watered and all the clones are spitting pistols something fierce. I'm hoping to reverse any damage done with 24hr light.

Well I sat in the hallway, had a lil' cry to make myself feel better...and I think it worked.


I pruned all the dead shit off of the mini moms, and did what I could for the clones. Everyones back under 24hr light...so we'll see wtf happens.

But why wait?



Gonna try this again starting tomorrow....

Severely crowded, humid as fuck...flowering starts tomorrow...or continues tomorrow....hell I dunno anymore... cab is only running 6x23w bulbs becuz I'm a cheap fuck....got other shit to buy right now.

Left to right;

12 MedMan's Rockstar Kush
2 Hawaiian Skunk Haze
6 Bagseed
30 MedMan Rockstar Kush I pollinated off the lower branches of #8 a lil' while back.

Went n' got some bales of peat earlier, sheep shit n' black earth tomorrow. Should fill up those 3 gallon grow bags nicely.

Fuck it, bud em - That's what I would have done. I think you made the right choice.

The hormones are flipped, maybe the plants wont like the flop. So theres some small ones. They'll be easy to trim :D

lol, true that ma man.

The seeds I soaked last night are starting to crack. Gonna stick 'em directly into 2 gallons worth of soil n' flip 'em when their about 5 inches tall. FTW

I apologize for the fuckaroundary. The 3 clones that were supposed to go into flower the other day needed some time to recover from me snappin' their lil' necks to keep an even canopy.

Lights are off now though, so Day 1 of 12/12. (fuckin' finally)

picture.php


Both of the Haze cracked n' are in pots.

picture.php


The MedMan gear is unfuckn' believable.

All but one popped.

picture.php


But look at the bottom of that pic...or this one...

picture.php


One seed...two sprouts. Granted it's not 2 girls one cup...but it's still pretty neat.

3 of the bagseed are in pots.

I haven't even started counting the germ ratio of the 30 seeds I've made yet as I need more soil n' sheep shit to fill them growbags. (tomorrows project) But rest assured as I have no life and fuck all to do with my time I'll post pictures of it.

I re-potted the mini moms earlier. Water was still coming out of the soil...so #8 may end up dying from over watering....fuckin' shame really.

SB mom seems to making a nice recovery however.

Took the shit clones n' potted them 2 per pot. Maybe they'll reveg, by the time I'm ready to flip...maybe not.

This is a kinda group shot I took a few hours ago. Almost all the MedMan Rockstar Kush have not only broken the surface but are about an inch tall lol.

picture.php


Must be that cosmic chi he adds to his shit lol

....shit...I think I'm gonna go cut a few clones off those plants in the fish cab before I regret it...

Bangin' my fuckin' head against the wall noyd.

After all the fucking around I've got...

3 Bagseed
Both of the Haze's
7 MedMad Rockstar Kush's
8 RSK that I made.

Had to kill the #8 mom...nothing I did for it helped...damn thing just kept rotting.

Strawberry Blue seems to have survived...jury's still out on that one though.

Some of the clones from the fuck-up look like their revegging...I dunno...they haven't really grown at all... fuck I dunno...

Oh...and I'm completely buggered on how I wanna set up my new room.

I've an 8x11ft space doing nothing, and 45A worth of power if I need/want... and no idea how I wanna set it up.

-I could run sealed, but need a bigger AC
-I could run passive intake utilizing cold Canadian air to cool the room.
-I could split the room.
-400w of lights or 4000w of lights.
-vertical or horizontal.
-scrub the air from the grow to heat my house....

...fucked if I know.

All I do know for certain is everything I've got is gonna veg until Sept. 30th...n' them everything is going into flower....have me some smoke for the holidaze...

Everyone hangin' out under the Ushio, working on their tan...

The one I saw like it had a stainless finish instead of a matte finish. Hard to scale the size from the pic but the dude returning it to the hydro shop (where they rent them) was not fuckin' pleased.
The one he was returning was about 18"-ish in diameter, and he was yelling at the guy behind the counter saying "IT WRECKED MY BUD, IT WRECKED MY BUD!!!"
Shop clerk didn't care, told him it was for "flowers", not bud.

I can't yield for shit...so I doubt I'll ever get to try one :biggrin:

Damn! Another setback - but another lesson to apply to the future.

I can't yield for shit...

-vertical or horizontal.

Think you might have answered your own Q right there?

I like the idea of using the outside air and scubbing it to heat the house.

You have a month to get that room set up, don't procrastinate! Even the simplest builds take longer than expected.

Re: Vert or horizontal...

I don't even have any hoods. Just two el cheapo reflectors, one from a light package I bought n' the other for $4 from a second hand store.

So I guess that answers that. Even two 3x3 spaces covered with 600w each...well actually...it's not like I have alot of plants...nah scratch that..

ok then...single tier, vert colli it is then.

Since nothing is really sexed, I'll make light adjustments as I go along.

Now I need a thermo-sensor type thing to tell my fan when to turn on n' shut off. Any suggestions anyone?

You have a month to get that room set up, don't procrastinate!

A subtle kick in the ass? :tiphat: Thanks...I needed that.

Off to fuck around in skecthup for a bit.
