Lol Im such an idiot.! I didnt scroll all the way down, So I thought the plants in the clear cups was your transplant finished. I was thinking to myself "really, it doesnt look like they have any root space at all bro" haha.. Those roots look real nice, they dont look dehydrated at all, they look very healthy..
Man I seriously love the people we've both came across on this forum and in our threads Gastro. Luckily we have both met very nice knowledgeable people, that like to help out and have no problem giving out tips and knowledge they have from experience.

Hopefully we can both get to that point bro. To be able to provide with out running out inbetween harvest would be my goal. But the medicine WE BOTH grow out cant be anywhere near the quality I've been getting with my indoor plants LOL..
Due to certain legal issues in my life, I havent been able to medicate for A LOONG time, and wont be able to do so for a little while longer. So hopefully I get my grows dialed in so I can stock up A little bit and help out 3 other family members that have cards for legit medical issues..

So are those 2 girls you just transplanted going to be flowered out in the tent with the LEDs? Or is that reserved for your SSSDH clone you took? Or is the tent with the scrog net in your previous post where they will grow out and finish in?
Man if you end up pulling A Hydro sized harvest/yield in those Smart Pots filled with coco, im gonna be jealous. I hope the quality and smell frfom the buds grown out in coco will be better then hydro.. Im not to sure why I disliked plants grown out in A hydro system. Its like Ive learned to hate hydro starting about 10years ago, even though I really couldnt say 1 reason why..

I hope you pull through this grow without any hiccups like the TD and SSSDH grow. Plus the genetics from this grow sound Dank as fuck! Any reason why you picked these certain strains?

Yeah I'm glad I decided to get involved on here. There's a couple dickholes here and there but for the most part everyone is really nice and supportive. I think for the other medical growers on ICMag they understand the importance of being able to reach success in your grow.

Sucks to hear about the fact that you can't enjoy your medicine - but awesome that you're still willing to learn and help out those close to you. How much longer until you're able to partake again?

These two plants and the Critical Kush are both going to stay in the tent with the SCROG. I need to raise the screen just a little bit and finish installing my new light. I don't expect as many problems with these girls as long as I get my drip set up correctly. It's really only when I leave town for a week that I have problems.

Atleast those dicks arent in our threads so far! The cool guys that arent even med users, still probably have the love for growing. I actually know of only A couple other sites that ive actually looked around in, and none of them peaked my interest..
Hopefully ill be able to partake in 1/2year, possibly even up to 1 year more or later. The only way it would be sooner is if the 2nd party and I can agree on A settlement .

What lights are being used in this tent? Couldnt really tell from the reflection on the sides of the tent. Is the light your building going to be replacing whats already in there? Or will it be added to whats in there?

You seriously must've spent A BIG amount of change on your entire grow set up lol.. I would probably have something similiar to your set up if I wasnt so broke. Atleast you got quality in the beginning, instead of wasting $$ on cheap junk stuff, only having to spend more on quality later on when the junk stuff breaks lol...

I might have to pick your brain on your drip set up.. I've been thinking about doing something like that for my indoor soil plants.. I havent been getting much time in the tent lately. Sometimes they are all drooping so bad they look dead lol.. That has to be effecting them badly, and I dont want to think about what the droughts are doing to the girls that are flowering lol...

The lighting from the post before this last one threw me off. Those two clones are looking very good man. Seems like they are loving that coco and 6/9 treatment. Keep doing what your doing with them and I think you should be very happy with the outcome


Yo Dakine you should have your grows dialed in by the time you can medicate again. It will be the best of timing.

[GastroGrower]

It's been a costly endeavor for sure. I've met my return on investment with past grows, so outside of nutrients and occasional fixes it's mostly cost savings (versus paying for the meds straight up - so like $100 - $200/week). I don't pay for electricity or water in my current place so no cost there .

I've done a ton of DIY stuff in my time and have figured out where it's worth it to pay for quality equipment and when you can cut corners and go with cheap stuff.

I've got the normal light in that SCROG tent out right now since I'm working on it. The blurple light is just a 150 W LED I had laying around that I popped in until I get the light fully built. Once the light's done it'll be ~490 watts.

For the drip system, my setup is really simple. I keep my nutrients in a 5 gallon bucket with some air stones in it. There's a small pump at the bottom which runs up to a 6 outlet manifold. From there 1/4" tubing goes straight to the individual plants. Once you work out the timer it's all gravy.

Here is the Gluebreath clone at day 19 of flower.

[justiceman]

She looks nice and healthy

[GastroGrower]

Thanks Justiceman. I'm about to head out of town for a couple days so my drip system is going to be put to the test. Hopefully there are no issues while I'm out and she continues to bulk up. Pistil formation is at the point where it looks different every day and I'm beginning to see some swelling/calyx formation - which is nice because I always get a little antsy waiting for them to start showing much. Once they do it seems much more bearable of a wait, haha.

When I get back, the 4 GG#4xPB and KD#2xPB seeds will all be ready to transplant to coco, along with the two FastBuds seeds I have going.

Happy Holidays to anyone reading this thread. I'm off to Denver to visit family and sample some of the local bud

I just got back home from my trip and it looks like my drip system worked! I've finally got something that my roommates can maintain and I know it'll keep my plants going. I've got a little bit of nitrogen claw on the Gluebreath hybrid and some minor overfeeding on the other clones but nothing that can't be corrected. PPM was at 600 while I was gone and these plants like it more around 500 - 550.

Here's a few pictures of the GBxPB:

Smell is really starting to develop now and bud development is noticeable since a few days ago.

Thought I'd provide an update on the Critical Kush I've got in the scrog tent. She's doing well at day 31 from seed and I really like her structure.
