PA/NJ/DE GROWERS UNITE!

[mjcuresall]

Much obliged, Weld. Yeah, molasses is great stuff. Thanks, I hope all goes well too.

dapimmel - Nov 16? That's almost 4 weeks. Are they smelling like blueberries yet? As for your question, I'm sorry, but I don't feel I have enough experience to answer.

pthway4 - Congrats on the new job and addition to the family. I'm guessing that's bag seed, yes? Keep it green and be safe.

new room, better results

new room, better results

Hey guys!! Just wanted to post an update since it's been way too long. I'm down to three strains in my flower room, but I'll be expanding soon. I'm currently running Chemdog Double D, Strawberry Diesel, and what I believe is OG Kush S1, but I'm not sure, 'cause things got crazy around here for a minute.







There are 11 plants in this tray, though 20 pots is the capacity for each tray. I moved up to the 2'x3' cement mixer tubs that you can get from Lowes or Tractor Supply Co.

Right now these babies are under a 1k MH, but I plan to add some HPS in there soon. My new space just happens to be 4'x6', so 4 trays will fit rather nicely. This is the only one in there for now, but I hope to throw one in every two weeks from now till I retire!

Here's a few close ups of my buds in training. They'll be all grown up soon, but I like this stage, so much potential!







Lastly, here's a shot of my veg area. The tub in the bottom has 12 plants, while the top area has 3 sets of plants, the 4 small ones on the far left are LUI f2's that just cracked. Then in the front are 8 clones that are rooted that I have no idea what to do with. I have to make some changes to the veg area to meet my lofty goals, as I'm beginning to realize that it's gonna be tough to keep my room filled using this setup. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.




That's it for now, but I do plan to be a little more consistent with the updates through December and throughout '09. Stay safe.

Bake

i think this thread moves slow, because its sort of like a crew thing without a crew. anytime a thread is started with a couple states in mind , it never really gets hoppin unless a good 10 people are growers and know each other and post pics up on the reg of either their grows of something they copped, and wanted opinions on it.

well since FUCKEM is poppin right now i can use them as an example. alot of those guy shave either met each other or know of each other and decided that ICMAG was the best place to come and "kick it" as only growers can sometimes.

so the more people that know each other then the more shit youll get jumpin off!!

so show some more pics of gardens , buds and the like and show people how these state really get down!!!

 

[vintner]

FRANKENBLUNT420: I'm not trying to start anything, but I'm not sure what your point is yo. Why do you care how active this thread is, or how many pix get posted here? Most of the folks in the FUCKEM thread used to hang here. The locals that aren't as active on the site or who don't care to be affiliated w/FUCKEM still do. If you're a local, instead of bashin' this thread maybe you could post up some pix here and help get the thread rolling again. If this thread isn't active enough for you, go hang somewhere else yo.

I wanna show some love to a few of my boys,
Philly Pride, CF, yo what's up Subnoize!
The Amish Farmer and the Vintner too,
Hey Raist and Money, I didn't forget about you!
I wanna pay my respects to the whole F.U.C.K.E.M. Crew!

hello i would be Raist
and i thought F.U.C.K E.M. started right here ?
read back through the posts and see whast this thread used to be and where it went downhill should be easy to find

FRANKENBLUNT420 you are a friend indeed :wink: and i don't think you meant any harm from your post
fly that F.E. flag high, but know where it comes from as well

hello vintner :friends:

Your girls look great, Bake. Nice clean setup, too. About your veg area: You could clone in 1/5th the space you do now by using the method I use (it's in my sig). You could then have space for 8 more plants on top. Just a thought.

I hear ya, FRANKENBLUNT420. This thread was very active before CF took his crew to a new spot (and I think he did that to deter the lamers and n00bs). What can I say? As soon as I have something worth showing, I'll show it!

vintner, I think Frankenblunt420 may have been referring to my earlier comment on this thread having slowed down so much.

Hello Bear! Nice to see you! Your girls look great, as always. (I'd throw some rep your way, but can't 'cause I'm not as active as I used to be.)

Peace and stay safe all.

 

[Bake_McBride]

Vin, Thanks for the kind words. What can I say? I love these ladies. And take it easy on FRANKENBLUNT420, I'm sure he's just trying to get things popping around here and build some camaraderie in the del val.

FIP, What's up, big guy? It's been way too long. How have you been?

Brother Bear, your pix are praise worthy. Everything looks so scrumptious! Is that a Bubba Kush in the last pic of your most recent post? And what type of shrooms are they? I've only done shrooms once, about 20 yrs ago. Memory is kind of fuzzy, but from what I remember, it was a pleasurable experience.

mjcuresall, thanks for the tip, I may give that a try. But cloning is not my issue. I can handle up to 50 clones at a time and my success rate is pretty good. My real issue is vegging 20 plants at a time. I only have room for 16 at the most the way I have things set up. I'm gonna try a few variations on what I'm doing, but don't wanna spend any $$$ since Christmas is right around the corner.

I decided to make room by throwing 9 of the vegging plants into the flower room a little early. They're not as big as I'd like, but I can live with it for now.






Here's the room with two trays/tubs. I'm gonna fill the second tray tomorrow, I need more lava rocks.





I'm stoked that things are back on track around here. '08 was on tough year for me, but I'm working out the kinks and will have this space filled in no time. Looking forward to great things in '09. Stay safe.

ALLOW ME TO RE-INTRODUCE MYSELF. . .

ALLOW ME TO RE-INTRODUCE MYSELF. . .

OK OK, it seems as though some of you guys mistook what i was sayin under my work sig the wrong way. what i was saying was that this thread isnt moving at the same pace as the FUCKEM thread and although its true, theres nothing wrong with that by any means!!

but like i said , i need to re-introduce my self and let you cats in this thread know, that i am a new transplant to NJ, and im lovin it!! ive always been more of a "outdoorsy" type of dude, so to have my own home and this lil bit o' land means a hell of alot to me. im laid back, chill, just wanna smoke some descent shit, talk about serious shit on a mental level, type dude.

im a big cat, played alotta football, bounced a couple parties here and there back in the day BUT my fightin days are truly over. if im out and shit pops off then im poppin one inya plain and simple! and all that yellin shit aint me! either hit me or keep it movin either we we are gonna scrap and go get a beer afterwards, so im a real cat for the most part, if i say it on here 9 times out of 10 i'll say it to your face cause all in all it aint no thing, youve got your grow and ive got mine, so its all gravy.

now as far as the growing thing goes and me "doing my part" on this thread, (which i do see as my duty to do in the realm of keepin it real. . ) ill let the pics tell the story as far as how im gettin down right now!! special pics taken just for this post, nuff said!

its dark and heaven is green (SSH btw). . .

ORANGE BUD in the middle there (its just a taster, just a taster). . .
