Florida Growers Thread; Reloaded

Henry Hale: I fear the presence of the outsiders will attract those of whom we do not speak.

Female Elder #2: But if you talk about those of whom we do not speak, have you not spoken of that about which we do not talk.

Henry Hale: Do not speak of that of about which we talk of not speaking... about.

Thanks guys, you're too kind

Thanks guys, you're too kind

that mandala looks like some head buster dp, I love the part where you grow such beautiful plants folks don't know if its in or out. (no disrespect intended cat, the man owns the outside lol)

I've got a friend over here in London who loves Mandala seeds. Satori is definitely the shit in my book.

DP - Can't wait to hear how it smokes.

I'll definitely let you know. I picked this strain because you always spoke so highly of Satori

None taken....i remember him showing the outdoh before so i kinda figured as much.

Definitely in a whole different league then the other local outdoor ive seen.

Not the traditional outdoor grow where you dump it in the boonies and hope for the best .

Honestly I don't think this is a great looking plant compared to others I've grown in the past, but she's mostly sativa so she got pretty big.

I will do everything I can to get some pics of the Guatemala when I chop her but I can't risk it until then and that's at least a month off. The smoke may suck ass but she definitely crosses an entry off my growing bucket list...you guys are gonna shit if I can get a good pic or two. I'm setting up a ghetto drip system for the last month cause I just can't get her enough water now that she's in flower.

Well....after killing two pumps this week on the dump bucket i decided to switch it up a little. Neither pump was new and about 4-6 months old on each and used in rdwc systems so it could have been luck of the draw/needs cleaning. Luckily i caught it when i did as the pump was f-ing HOT!

I had been looking into trying a slosh/snail guard on the float switch to slow down the rate it kicks the pump on as well but hadn't gotten to it yet. Seems if it hits the right level it will kind of get stuck in a loop for a few mins.

Well in an attempt to get three birds stoned at once....i picked up one of these bad boys:
http://www.amazon.com/Little-Giant-...1411172119&sr=8-3&keywords=little+giant+abs-1

Little bastard f-ing rocks! Fixed two of the issues instantly....im betting the 3rd, overheating, is fixed too as it has a thermal protection that will stop it from running hot/dry. It appears to have the slosh guard already built into the integrated float switch and the action is super smooth on this bitch now....no constant kicking on and off and getting stuck in a loop.

Asslover if you pump takes a dump on ya, may want to check this one out. It seems really nice so far.

Keeps the water level at the top of the inside of the grommet\connector. Kicks on when water reaches the top of the outside of the grommet. Sits inside the dump bucket instead of inline.

 

[Catatafish]

Oh... i did have to put a few connectors together to get it into my pvc pipe though....cost about $6. seems 1/4" threaded isnt easy to match up to stuff.

 

[FlaDankster]

Did i wake up in the sunshine state today??????


Enjoy the weather fellas.....it's fuckin gorgeous out there!!


Keep it green and stay safe fellow farmers.

 

[Floridian]

I know I woke up in Fla I scored a 39 in bull red on cut ladyfish and a flounder if you can believe that a funkin flounder nice size too.

 

[Coba]

nice, that's a huge redfish, must've been real fun getting him in the boat.

Mandala Beyond The Brain - got another two weeks to go, maybe three. Top buds are swelling nicely but I probably should have trimmed off more of the lower growth.

The end is near

The end is near

Here is Beyond The Brain at 70 days. Gonna chop her this weekend and I won't be taking any more pics so here is the beauty shot. Full sized shovel for scale, smoke report in a month or so once she's dried and cured.

Both of those top colas are 15-18" long. She seems to be fairly mold/rot resistant cause God knows I haven't been able to keep her dry lately but I'll know more once I harvest.

Weather is beautiful, I just started a bunch of different strains including the legendary Triangle Trips that I've heard so many great things about. Gonna be a busy winter but that's the plan.

DP.....fucking beautiful bro.

How finicky was she to feed?

Tomato cages helpful?

I love a good 1oz bud.

Congratulations, well done!!!

 

[Hugh Midity]

very nice, and youre going to love the triangle trips bro, still my favorite so far

I don't really feed other than topdressing with EWC or Bone meal if the fan leaves start yellowing too soon. I just mix up a fully amended soiless mix (Burn1's mix is a good starting point) and then water like hell and apply AACT when they are about a foot tall, when I put them into flower and again about a month later.

Tomato cages are a must for me, even for full Indica's. They help protect the plant when I move them around, and are essential for training the tops when big buds get floppy.

very nice, and youre going to love the triangle trips bro, still my favorite so far

I have been itching to pop those beans since I got them but the timing wasn't right. Now it's on!!

 

[MagniKhan]

Looking good DP.

Sorry to only post when I'm pissed of frustrated. It's been hard to conversate and show pics in the midst of this fucking months long battle with the borg.

Well no more, just went NUKE and drenched to whole show with AVID.

Tried every method I could find. Bombs, Azamax, Azasol, neem, mitywash......you fucking name it if it's was organic I tried it. Every Monday I'm spraying one fucking thing or another. And every Monday I'm clearing wet webs as I spray......I think they hold parties on Monday.

Well I gave them something new to fuck with.....I'll be back in a week....fuckers.
Thanks Krunchbubble, haters will hate and pro's listen.

Sorry to the Organic crowd, those techniques don't always work. I''ve read that most think that if your diligent and do it on a perfect time schedule it will work every time. That is just simply not true, some motherfuckers a just to tuff. Running a perpetual system doesn't help.

I do somehow feel like I failed and using AVID was an admission of such. To bad smoke doesn't do to guilt what alcohol does.


Enjoy the break in the weather and be SAFE,
MK

I also ordered 6 CB Foggers; PCO foggers, here for $8.94 each.....also order a Ant kit for Crazy Ants while I was there. Don't know about you but these little bastards are a bitch to get rid of also, especially when it rains a lot.

Between the grow and the Land sharks I can't really get a pest guy in.
My lawn dude is a different story...."Him and me are mates!" as he puts it, you have to here it from a New Zealaner, it doesn't sound so creepy. Does a good job and the Sharks haven't eatin' him so I guess he's good to go!

Sorry to ramble, just feeling some Gorilla Grape.
Speaking of here's some tric pics from GG. Notice the purple color in the trics. Almost looks like dye injected in them.






Be Safe,
MK

 

[Catatafish]

Does it have a grape smell at all? I have something going that smells like grape candy right now, kinda looks like shit though.

Yours looks very nice!

To bad smoke doesn't do to guilt what alcohol does.

I was just thinking about this yesterday ...
For me, it brings any guilt right to the front and center ... smoking sativa doms. I like to call it my conscience herb. it let's me know what I have to reconcile, that's for sure. the weed be lettin' ya know, evil lurk. the good news is, once I've reconciled with myself or loved ones, the conscience herb just keeps me from doing the same stupid shit I'm doing to feel guilty in the first place.

so, I've decided I need to stay high ... all the time. to keep me from doing stupid stuff all the time.

anyways, I wouldn't worry about offending the organic crowd ... it's not like you're in that section telling people to use avid. Or, it's not like you're in that section, telling new organic growers to use Miracle Grow! ... like when that old pro did that one time ... I LOL'd so hard that day.

Plus, I heard one time when I was a kid "there's only one rule in fighting ... that is to win." and " desperate situations, call for desperate measures"

I hope you rget those bastards under control MK.

 

[Hugh Midity]

damn sorry to hear you're still going through it mk, I wish you luck. holy shit the trichs bro, that looks like serious ordinance.


wifi alien dawg #6 @50 days, everything else running is ecsd so the wfa gets all the attention today

 

[Catatafish]

Lookin good Hugh. Be careful with her....she'll rip your dick off.

Call me a pussy but im scared to touch her as the first smoke of the day. I got another funny story on her i heard over the weekend.

 

[Hugh Midity]

thanks bro. I've got to see what all the talk is about, meganoid huh?

 

[Catatafish]

Ok....seeing as my camera has walked away a doesnt appear to be coming back anytime soon......

Anybody got suggestion on a good cam to get nice shots of plants/macros? Not looking to spend a grand on something i only use for a few shots every two months. Im not a camera expert and not really looking to become one either
