Howdy y'all

Happy Women's day to you!! (Can you believe it!! Government finds another way to give the people more time off!!!)

Anyways, I been away for while moving house, dealing with break-ins, security gates, alarm systems, big dogs - the usual thing if you live in Jozi!with a little bit of growing on the side.

Got me a proper cab finally! Those who remember my past grow will know I've always had smallish setups. Now I'm using a full on cupboard with a grow space of 1.2m wide, 1.8m high and 60cm deep. In here I'm using a 400W Sunmaster HPS with a 200cfm exhaust fan.

I've just started a thead over in the hydro section with a bubbler setup growing Satori, Blue Mystic and Cindy99. I was expecting some different beans to arrive in the post but I guess they never made it.

Anyways, glad to see it's warmer today. The last few week have been bitchin!! Iced over cars and freezin days! Hopefully it's gone for good now!

If you remember I was growing an NL and Cinnamon in a handwatered bucket and a grapefruit in soil. The NL has been chopped and the Cinnamon has a few days left. The NL bucket did not give me great results, I think it was because I only watered once they were dry. This did not give them a constant source of nutes I reckon.

The Grapefruit was really struggling in the soil so I cleaned off the soil from the roots and popped her into a the bubbler bucket I made a while back. GEEEEEEEWHIZZZZ!!! You should see her now! She really took off in that bucket and is looking like she will be my best yield yet. I'll post some pics when the lights come back on...

Let me know what'yall up to

oh hell yes, i'm taking a seat in the front row.
will you be growing 12/12 from seed again?

Blunt Africa · 08-09-2006, 06:30 PM

Hey Sat

They are not quite 12/12 from seed. I reckon they'll go into 12/12 about 2 weeks from popping. I popped 'em in soil and then let then grow until true leaves showed themselves.

They will stress out a bit from the transplant from soil to hydroton so it'll slow things down to start with...

Nifty_PoT · 08-10-2006, 11:50 PM

Blunt Africa · 08-11-2006, 01:55 PM

Well here you go go.....

But first - You made a good choice there wotamess!! That fem GF is superstuff!! I think this is my 5th one and they've been lekker! The one I'm flowering now has gone beyond my expectations! Add to that the fact that she was struggling like hell in soil to start with, and that she was my first bubbler guinea pig, means that she is one tuff bitch!

Here she is now...

Picture is a bit shite but I'll take some better ones later.

Here is my cab at the mo

You can see the Satori and the Blue mystic down there. The Satori I put into bubbler about a week ago are starting to show off a little...

Any ideas on how they'll do on 12/12 from such an early age?...

Oh yah. There is one more thing, a "cross that bridge when we come to it" sort of thing. I do not know which of the BM or Sat are female, so as soon as they show their colours I'm gonna have to get them out...

We'll see if I end up looking like an

Of course there'll always be the chance that they will all be female, now would not that be lucky!?

If it's all dudes then'll I'll be pissed!

Blunt Africa · 08-11-2006, 08:03 PM

Bong, I'm feeling u on that one. It's great moving into a place with all the cheer in the world, and then some prat comes along and kills the vibe.

Now no matter what security measures you take you still can't relax 101%.

Reminds me of a funny, ummm, incident not so long ago. Straight after the breakins (only a few days after we moved in) we had security gates installed on front and back doors, as well as the master bedroom.
Now this worked just fine for a bout a week when one night, after a nice toke and a movie with a little JD thrown in, we scooted off to bed, instinctively locking the gate behind us.
Upon waking out of sleep in a doze at about 6am I suddenly realised that I did not remember bringing the gate key into the room the previous night. That's when you get that nasty jolt through your body, like the one when you know you are in shit.
Jumped out of bed and checked out the place where the key should be, and guess what, NO FRIKKIN KEY!
I did not want to break a window to get out so I used the bandits method of cutting away the putty around the window and taking the glass clean out. Obviously I'm not a totsi so no suprise when I broke th window anyways.

Feeling all chuffed of breaking OUT of my own house I made my way over to the back door armed with a set of keys for that gate and the back door. Boy was I pleased when the key unlocked the security gate and then the back door, just the simple act of turning the handle remained.

Cue nasty cold feeling again. DAMN!! Just then I remembered I installed deadbolts on the front and back door as an added precaution. And I just happened to be on the wrong side of the bloody door. So I calmly walked back to the broken bedroom window and kindly asked my other half for the f'n scissors, that I f'n used to cut the f'n putty away on the first f'n window. She did not ask why (which is unusual).

REsult of all this is that I then had to cut away the putty on the lounge window so in essence had to BREAK BACK IN to my own house.

How many of you mofo's out there can claim that, HUH?
juslaaaik!!

Blunt Africa · 08-11-2006, 08:07 PM

Oh yah, in case you are wondering, I broke that other window too!
