OldMedMan Goes Indoors Part 2

[OldMedMan]

hey OMM
Just got caught up and boy so much great info/pics and oh of course the story!!
Love the video as well

Plants are looking so great and can't wait for their first night outside

I purchased 2 exhale bags myself which I am wiating for them to come in. yeah

thanks as always!

Hey MS ! Thanks buddy. I try to keep it interesting. Glad you like our extremely professional video! The veg girls are getting there....most are around 14" tall so far. IF ! All goes as planned, when they hit the outdoors it should be something to see. We'll see! I believe the exhale is worth the money.

 

[OldMedMan]

I tried the CO2 Boost Bucket and did not notice any extra growth! I was not impressed. Especially with the cost. If my local store carried the bags I would try them.

Have you smelled the organic BPN nutes?! They are double ass strong! Do you think that would increase CO2 levels in the grow room by having an open nasty smelling nute container?

I am in no means knocking the BPN nutes!! I like them. However, if you open up a bottle of one of the organic nutes. It smells like 100 head of cattle taking a sh*t!

Hi CF.

No, I never have.....however it does say organic.......whole lot of organic stuff around here stinks to high heaven......so it's normal !
Think about it...bat Sh*t, worm casing, dead fish, chicken poo and other dead things...what else could you expect??

 

[OldMedMan]

Hey OMM,

Loved the vid on FIMing, make another the next time you do it. Please, if its possible, show us the same plant and each time you FIM...we want to see the results. I really liked hearing your voice too, it gives a voice to put with the story.

THsea...great job with the camera. Whatever you used, it worked really well...thanks

Hi Girl !

I will do that....they should be ready the next time THsea comes over. They were not ready today. That's the plan to show each step. I know what you mean about the voice. I liked it first time I head Sisco's voice.

 

[OldMedMan]

think thats more big island, Oahu is mostly clay dirt.

Stuff from over there...

Hey OMM, the review of frisian is up. Wild will be probably tomorrow.
The pictures are killer

Hey, I'll go take a look Buddy!

Fine review my Friend.

 

[OldMedMan]

Thanks Mr. Krip ! For the post about making your own CO2.

 

[GodSpeed]

Yeah I tried using brewers yeast and fermenting in a bottle there was some gasses being released what I am told is co2 but I didnt notice much diffrence in growth.

Didn't know about the bags will have to read up a little bit on these even with great amounts of co2 is there realy that much more growth does the equipment and running costs pay for its self?

Pop's I love the topping vid. It's really the only way to grow. On the down side, you lose acouple days while the topping recovers. And there are some strains that don't cotton to topping. They kind of 'dead head' and stop all upward growth. And I can't stress enough always let your plants recover from the Fimming at least acouple new leaves before you flower. I've heard somewhere about someone who 'claimed' they topped during flower, but I'm not ballsy enough to do it myself. He wanted to make a bud similar to a cactus in a roadrunner cartoon, Don't ask me how it came out.
I tried those yeast things myself well the bottle ones. I even stepped up with alot of milk jugs around. But like Godspeed there, I didn't see much change. Those bags are suppose to work I hear. But you need afew of them to work. I myself is thinking of upgrading with CO2 soon. But I think I want a gas line installed. The bottles seem like work and hassles.
Once more Pop's Love the Vid. Kind of hard to see with them stubs a working huh. I see now you going to be a movie maker. Hey TC and I'll drive thru again real soo.
Keep em Green

OMM,
I just chopped my Twilight. It is pretty sticky and has a very strong smell to it. I guess it just needed a long time to finish. Definitely an outside strain. As soon as it is dried and cured I'll give you a report. How is yours doing?


On the CO2 topic, buy a regulator and tank. the initial cost is about $250, but after that it only costs me $20 to fill the tank and it lasts me over a month, so $20 a month is cheaper than using the bio-bags. Just put in on a day-n-night cycle timer for 5 on, 45 off and it seems to do the trick.

I use the Exhale bags (2 of them currently in a 3x5' tent). I don't know how much of a difference they make, but I tested them on a single plant auto-flower grow over the summer, which ended up yielding huge for an auto -- so I bought another. I think they probably do work to some degree in a small enough space. Just a hunch. It's fine to just leave 'em in there all the time - as OMM mentioned it's not enough to be bad.

Oh, a bit of advice if anyone wants to try them: If you get any kind of puncture to the bag, even if you cover it after the fact you'll be breeding mold. It's not easy to puncture them, but I got one with a slight tear near the breathing patch, and sealed the tear with vinyl tape before putting it in the tent. It ended up getting moldy. The good news, is that it didn't seem to infect my plants (probably because the patch must not let the mold out, and the tear was now sealed.)

The company and hydro store I purchased it from were both great at standing behind it, for what it's worth, and gave me a new bag that's working great with no hassle.

Sounds good to me. Thanks Xlr8! I am going to order one and see what happens. Nice that it helped on the auto as well. For 30 bucks the co2 bag is worth a shot, just need to hang it and it should be good. Thanks for the advice as it is appreciated.

Hi Godspeed.
I think it has allot to do with size of the space you have. Just breathing in a small space with do. Look at SteveHman's post below for more info.

Hey Sprout!

Should be you in the movie Buddy, not me, since you taught me!
I don't mind the extra days it adds, because it really creates a greater yield.

Good luck on your co2 system, be a while before I need to do it. I couldn't have done the video without THsea, he did the real work.

Drive by any time you want my friend.

Hi SteveHman.

Your Twilight sounds good. Mine is getting big now.....sure hope it's good smoke. Will be looking for your smoke report.

Going to busy the next few days, making some changes to my grow. Drop by in a few days to see what I had to do. Should be better all around.

The story continues..................................................................Tony Quits!

When I walked in the house, Tony saw my face and knew I didn't have good news to tell.
I sat down with her and her mother and told them I would be leaving in a month. Her mother looked at us and left us alone to talk. Tony turned pale and said she had heard that California was a leader among the states. Which was true at the time. I agreed and said, yes I was lucky to get Fort Ord. She said she was happy for me. She when in to help her Mother. I really don't think they had anything to do, but I was wrong.

We had one hell of a good meal. They had out done themselves. We were stuffed and I noticed we all hit the wine a bit hard that night. Pic was sitting by me, so we had a good time playing dive bomber with his food.

Tony put Pic to bed and Mom and I cleaned up the kitchen. Mom gave me a hug and said even though we knew this was coming, it was going to be hard on us all. I nodded and said yes it will be hard. She went over and turned on the TV and I went to our room and lay down.

After a while Tony came in and buried her head on my shoulder and cried. I had never seen her cry before. She cried and cried, I held her tight and we finally went to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning Tony was gone. Usually she was in the kitchen, this time she was gone. Her mother didn't know where she went either. She finally came home about 2 in the afternoon. She looked sad, but was smiling.

She gave me a big hug and said "I'm going with you to California!". Say that again!
She smiled and kissed me and said again "I'm going with you!". That's all I needed to hear! We hopped around and were just plain silly for a long time. She said, I just don't want to be here without you, so I'm going.

We were hyper and couldn't sit still. So she said let's go to Venice and have dinner.
We went to Venice and spent the night, We had a great meal and drank too much and
walked around the city for hours The next morning we went to the island by Vince where they make some of the most beautiful glassware in Europe. We bought Mom a beautiful hand made pitcher. It just sparkled.

As we rode back on the train, she told me she had gone to see her dance partner that morning she left early and explained to him she was leaving to go with me. She said he gave her a hug and told her he wasn't surprised and that he was kind of expecting it. He could see it in our eyes. There was much planning to be done. More on that soon.

Whoever said it is right - not a dead or sick leaf in sight!!! What a wonderful sight!!! Just thought I best stop in for a sec while I was here. Forever watching the show!!!

I just started the flower cycle on my indoors girls last weekend... and I broke down and started another journal which I *HOPE* I can do justice to - this one strictly on the plants and process of producing feminized seeds.

Hope this finds you and Jo healthy, wealthy, and forever happy!!!

LUVIES OMM & ALL!!!
