McLoadie's Third Grow Journal

[alex801]

Yeah alex...sometimes they aren't coming up fast enough for me, especially the mains. After I break the bigger branches, I let em go for a coupla days and see what they do. The bigger ones are the most difficult to break and have the biggest likelihood of breaking too much, if they do, they sometimes want to just fall down and rest on the pinch point..........I don't like that.......I will pull up or down and even sideways.......just to fill in hopefully. Usually a problem branch that's hanging lower than I'd like just takes a day before it locks up in a more desirable position. These plants all break different, even differently on different branches...........I'm sick of breaking these...and nervous also...........they get to a point where they don't come back up as easily.........the weight of the new foliage growin on em counteracts the plants efforts to move toward the light.

Iv always been to nervous of super cropping. Although iv on several occasions done it by accident.
When I look at ur canopy it makes the method look that much more apealing... Without looking back how long has it took those to get to we're they are now

Anything for you bro, I believe they've been under the induction for two weeks, they were under the t5 for around 3 weeks. I've been training for maybe a week and a coupla days, they recover quickly, I'm cropping some of the lollipops 2 times a day! My croppin is just about done, 6 days to recover, and everything will be ready for the flip. These plants are still gonna grow quite a bit after the flip, they will nearly fill that space. Tahoe og is pretty good weed!, I forget and take 4 or 5 hits and it's yeeeeeehawwwwwww!

BTW, I checked the cuts, and they have bumps. 8 days today I think, I may let em go a coupla extra days, I hope I have enough dirt ta bury em.

Good Weed Mcloadie, Question? When you supercrop a branch more than once do you rebreak it along the same site or do you move up or down the branch? BTW- you make it look so easy and its really scary as hell to do- reps

Thanks fc, I try to do it at a new spot, scar tissue forms at the break site and it gets kinda brittle...it's kinda like gluing something together...........and breaking it again. It scares me to do it too...........especially when I'm just running a coupla plants!

Thanks very much mc
Do u find t5s veg well? Iv go 6 fixtures I was thinking of making a hood out of.
They're the 21watt ones in 5000k if I remember rightly 1900lm each

I got them all from doing a supermarket revamp I got 6 fixtures with used t5s in and 12 or 13 new crompton bulbs to

It's the best time for me to be thinking about it as my current grow should pop soil any day now

Yes sir I agree more with u now that uv said that. We're i live is different to were u live. Our fire fighters are paid differently to yours.
I'm not sure how ur system works. We pay income tax and council tax and that covers our health care/policing/fire services we pay national insurance that covers our state pention if we rescheduled 500 year old so we can claim it lol
In USA you pay federal income tax and state income tax on every paycheck. But some states dont charge state tax. And you have a day per year to do refile aadjusted income and withholdings. Ridiculous huh? Pay taxes each check, then pay more taxes at end of year.This basically covers Very Poor insurance after you reeach like like age 60 maybe. And a "social security" pension system that basically works like this--- Pay in alot, get barely any back. And its going broke probably before my gen sees it.

With income tax and n.i we lose roughly 25% of our wages as deductions. Non optional. Depending on Maritial status and "dependants" its between 25-50%. But low income familys 30k-80k incomes, get rebates of up to $10,000. In a Lump sum. But single workers generally have to pay additional income tax in a lump sum during tax season.
I think it's different in America???
I was just talking with my mum about this and she opened my eyes to your way of thinking sir spelling out differences. All fire fighters here are full time secure workers with good pentions etc. my uncle done 30 years before retiring. Gota have much respect for those guys.

I heard if u don't have insurance.... Your home on fire has no chance of spreading to another home.... And there is no one in danger.... I heard they will let your house burn to the ground without tackling the blaze??? That canot be right ? Civil servants (police, fire) do there jobs regardless of insurance. They dont get paid by insurance. Taxes fund them basically.
And if u have cancer with no health care insurance they will not treat u? Really? You will not have a hospital not treat you if you havea serious or life threatening issue. Show up with a broke arm they will fix it. and charge you $10,000. Which ironically will ruin your credit and you will have trouble seeing any doctors and especially any affiliated wih that hospital.

It seems a trillion miles away from what is taken for granted here (Sirius) Its actually 8.6 light years sir


1HC FTW KC

Really medicated so thought Id try to answer some of these

howdy Mc. I am most likely going to be given a time out for posting off topic videos on the over50 club so if I aint around thats why

I just knew you were a bad ass fish.

I could do that fan thing mac, but then what about smell? I already posted this on my site too, but with the T-5's and a bowl of water and a fan I have about 72% humidity and 84 degrees with the tent shut all up. I think that 400 watt might need a little more air movement!

I recently read somewhere, and it might have been even you, that you can continue supercropping into early flower to get more buds to pop.

Thanks very much mc

Alex, I use 4 24 watt T-5 bulbs in 6400k and mine are vegging great except for my defect. Well that's what everyone is telling me anyway lol!!!

A lot of people use fluorescents for their veg then go to hid for their flower. Before I made the decision to go hid I was going to use 4 3000k T-5's and 8 42 watt cfls which came out to about 38,000 lumens, which isn't bad for flowering. You will still get an excellent grow.

 

[alex801]

Spimp boooooom once again sharing the in depth knolage
Thanks for explaining that. We have two taxes here income and council
Income is 20% raising to 60% I think for huge earners like 250k+
That covers every medical expense possible. Snd all our emergency services
Reps for your time taken there spimp

 

[RainStacks]

Things are looking great. Awesome pictures, setup is looking sweet. Thank you for the laughs guys!

 

[alex801]

Dharma hello friend..... Yes I was wondering about smel in this grow of mc's it's going to stink up badddd

Is also flower under his mate infact until my most recent grow I would veg and flower under my mixed spec hps
But with how iv seen CFls perform in my last grow I decided to keep those on for vegging. Pleased t5s are working well for u. Pleased uv decided to switch for flower u will get much better results. Il have to scoot through ur grow look at ud vegging I was subbed at one point I'm feel sure.

Now I agree with u! About the lumens.... I take each lights lumen count and add it up for a combined lumen count. But there is a debate. King Jon c brought to my attention lumens are a single value and don't increase with more lights so if u have a 10,000 lumen bulb or two u only still have 10,000 lumen. Crazy right. I still think u add it up personally lol no disrespect king j c

Fan and filter for around 75$...then all you need is some dryer vent hose!

A light meter would be so useful in our work...........it would take the wondering out of the equation!

 

[mcloadie]

Good weed everyone, the topics are great!, we are learning............everything is fine in mcloadies box, and YES, this fuc-er is starting to smell. You can really smell the deep sweet almost nauseous smell all the time, but when I get in there and start fiddling about it smells like I grabbed a skunk by the tail. If I was in a more urban setting I would definitely have to run a filter! The mother to these skunk plants is growing outside, and she doesn't have near the odor these do!

 

[BeemerBill]

Good Morning MC It would be great to have smellanet. If I leave the garage door open the house starts filling up with nose tickling aromas. Happy Friedday to ya

Happy Friedday Mc and Young Miss Loadie

Good Weed fishy and bill!, I filled the solos with dirt..... a coupla days and the next one starts...haha, this one isn't even in flower yet.
