:icon_roll 
As I couldn't find mine right then, I borrowed my wife's. She uses them when she is beading. She bought them at the local Beading Store.
Hash - Thank you for starting this thread. I will get you some more pics of the different equipment that I use - not neccessarily what you need to have.
Also, check this out - the new update on the grow as soon as the pics get posted. Everything is right on schedule, in fact a little ahead of schedule. So 2 weeks from today, March 8th, I will turn the lights to 12/12.
Thank you

GROWING GUIDE
It's very important that your tools are clean. Plants can get diseases from unclean tools.
When the seeds sprout .At this stage, they grow very fast..Prepare your pots with the dirt mix of your choice.Water the pot thoroughly, letting excess water drain from your bucket. In general, plants don't like it when they are transplanted to a different pots It will shock them ,This is why I grow in 5gal buckets or 2 1/2gal buckets.I do not transplant .The water shoulden't be cold. Cold water provides a nasty shock to the sprouting seeds, adding stress and possibly delay . Do not add any nutrients at this point. Just plain,water. so that the seedling won't get a shocked or die. Make a hole in the middle of the bucket, big enough to fit the sprout in. Carefully pick up the sprout by the head of the seedling, making sure that you don't touch the root that pokes through the shell and that the root don't get damaged in any way, such as rubbing against anything. Place the seedling into the hole that you dug in the dirt. If at this point you discover that the hole is not big enough, don't try to press the seedling into the hole. Instead, gently remove the seedling and make the hole bigger.Make sure that the seedling does not sink in the hole lower than the rest of the surface. The seedling should rather stick out a bit,."like the head of the shell I have showed in my pics"There are special mixes for seedlings and transplanted plants. If you use nutrients that are not specifically for seedlings, use half the dosage. or you WILL kill the "seedling"....! Now we are growing.....
Thank you

This first plant, which is White Widow, is on its 2nd time in flowering.
The next plant is DPF Skunk#11, on it's 5th round, no shit!!
The next plant, what some call "swank" or "swag", is on its 5th round also.These same 3 plants will also be flowering at the same time as the 4 seedlings will be.
Now remember, my plants are only 2-3 1/2 ft, since I have limited clearance.
Alot of people don't like to do this because of the time involved, but if you look at what the yield is from a seedling and then look on the 2nd round plant and compare to the 5th round plants.....well I think that is pretty self explanatory - don't you?? And I think the quality of the "high" only gets better.

This is a white widow the top pic I downloaded this morning and the next pic I downloaded on 2/10...
I love to re-veg...
The next two pics is where we are at in OUR grow today.
It is coming a long nicely as you can see.
The last 2 pics are of a plant that is in flowering now "W/W" and she is at day 30 and I still got about 60 to 70 more days in flowering you guys/gals said that you like these resiny/sticky looking buds.
If you know how to stress out a plant right.!
She will melt and almost drip in your hand...!
This is not for the first time grower to try....!

Vegetation Period
This is the period of maximum growth during Vegetation stage.
The plants can grow no faster than the rate that it's leaves can produce the energy required for new growth.
So now we get in to lighting.
The more light geven to your plants Each day creats more leaf tissue thereby,
increasing the plant's capacity for growth...!
With excellent growing conditions,
YOU SHOULD GET 1/2 - 1 1/2 inches a day if not more...!
Yours plants should be given 22 - 24 hours of light per day.
This allows the plant to grow continuously until it reaches the desired size.
Thank you

Bad Ass.
Is this what you were looking for in details or something different?Rastoner said:
I got close to half pound out of that room when it was done - BUT you have to remember that my plants are shorter, BUT this time the buds will be larger (about the size of soda cans or something similar to show the actual size of the buds. I have some shots coming up that have coins around them and those were only the side buds of a couple plants I cut down to make room for the plants I am doing for the Grow Journal.
No I dont know Eddy, but thanks for the compliment to our pics.BongHitsforME said:

Man your pictues are book worthy, no lie. Especially becuase of the pimp scissors backrounds and all the other cool things you throw into the pic.!

It is fun to try and figure out what should go into the pic to enhance it's value. I know the plant or bud shots are not bad, I just want everyone to have even more to discuss after looking at it. And if there is something really cool with it, well - more people go and look and thats what it is all about.
And for all of you that go look - start rating the Pics you look at wherever or whatever site your on. This is how the artist gets feedback on what works and what doesn't.
Whether anyone realizes it or not........Growing is work!! And it is nice to be rewarded for that work. If it be monetary, quality, or self-esteem - it is a reward. Something every artist strives for in their life.
Thank You

PS: He is very lucky to have Mrs. MV - but We get along pretty good and like most of the same things in life, and that helps. It is Compatability! :icon_cool
