Our Ongoing Grows

[sHEMP]

as usual, awesome plants bro. Getting ready for my first flower. Condensed all my electrical needs, set up for ventilation, plants looking green and healthy! Norcal coming by today for an inspection. Anyone ever doing business with hydroponicspro.com, be careful. I ordered a complete grow kit and they couldn't come up with the switchable digital ballast, so I let them send me a hps digital dimmable balast and an extra hps bulb instead. Then they sent me a reflector that wasn't the one they had in the ad on ebay! They advertised a 6" blockbuster aircooled reflector, I got a different brand that is not square, almost, but more of a rectangle. I talked to them and they tried to tell me they used 'blockbuster' as a term for how good their reflector was. Is that stupid or what? Anyone who knows anything will tell you Blockbuster is its own model, as Mr. Norcalwood stated to me. My reflector is still a decent one but it is the principle of the thing. I e-mailed them about it, they never responded. e-mailed them a 2nd time, no response. My third e-mail told them that if I didn't here from them that day, I would have to notify e-bay so others wouldn't get mislead. Boy did the responses start coming in. They were begging for my phone# to call, and even gave me the big bosses phone#. I called them, they were in a corner and they knew it. I think they were sweating bullets a little. They apologized and assured me that they would give me a great deal on any of my future needs, and I can call him direct. Anyway, everythings put up this week. Keep everyone posted, who's interested that is. OUT

[A1Weed]

All Looks super ! Yes bubblelicious is a frosty one too Love the smell of it.

 

[NorCaliwood]

BID it's a shame but you can onley get them here with a card, but you ever know anyone coming over to this next of the woods we'd figgure a way for you to get some of the gentetics
I get alot of great things off E-bay and Amazon. Name brand stuff delievered straight to the door at comp prices to the local hydro stores. I have one or two vendor I've used forever and stuff only takes 2 days to get here just about everytime. But you do need to be careful. sHEMP got a comp unit but it wasn't what they claimed. For for the price it's a great hood. I like the hood. Hell it's alot better than what I'm running. It's just that I was wanting to get him a completely square foot print. BTW I'm using a 2' super soaker with 600 watts MH in a 4X4 tent for my inside veg. To me the hood its the main piece of a light. We all replace ballasts and bulbs constantly, hell I even lost one of my good old reliable magnetic ballast this year. I still haven't replaced it yet because I'm not sure what I'm going to end up doing yet, but if needed I plan on Quantum 1000 dimmable. Hopefully I'll end up with another Master Blaster 1500 watter. I can see a big change in my buds I've been putting out from under her. Heavier buds. 'Ofcourse I finish my bud's under the 1500 watter side. But with 2 I'm going to have to deal with a AC unit. So far I've been able to keep the temps down with just passive air intake. That's great when air temps are down in the winter, but springs here.
Sorry people I'm alittle slow responding for my pc took a crap. Sounding like a shopping cart death throws. Well some yahoo I contacted on Craigslist claims service for under 50 bucks Long story short got back something acting like dial up. Wells he's got it again and I've been waiting,,,, guess till tomarrow. I'll go into a update as soon as I can. Oh BTW I decided to try couple new seeds. Got the order off yesterday. Damn had a hard time getting the bank to ok the transaction. Well turned into abit a nightmare. Finally used my Lady's account. I want to thanks everyone for driving thru. I'm pick up all comments next time I post, I hate laptops. y fingers aren't cut out for this. Till laters,, Keepem Green

 

[NorCaliwood]

BTW BID I see in this months High Time's Strongest Strains of 1212. The thrid place winner they have listed as grown from seed from Green House Seeds a Super Lemon Haze the hit High Times lab's at 22.64% thc. Strain named Head Cheese from Blunt Brothers came in ontop at 24.79%. Second place was Matt's OG at 24.16%.
You get the right pheno and you got a winner. They one I'm growing out is great smoke. Just she wasn't as loud as my first grow with SLH. Either Pheno's a winner me, but look for the 'Loud Lemon' smell to die for. You want that one dripping with limonene terpens. Keepem Green

 

[miwa]

yeah i seen that..like to have some of that Head Cheese...got to find me a bean bank..

 

[sHEMP]

Mr. Wood, you and your camera do fine work. Cheese and White Widow have been two of my all time favs, but you have been on a roll my friend. I only hope I can grow the quality work you do, never be the same, but even somewhat close will make for good medicine. My babies are sprouting like 'weeds', no pun intended. It is unbelievable to see the differences from day to day, hell even from hour to hour. I am so frickin lucky to have a friend and mentor like you brother. You and Miss J are two great examples of friendship. You have been so warm and inviting ever since the start. You told me I was nervous, well, that didn't last long with you guys. Remember my siesta on your couch that time? That was near the beginning as well, when I was still getting a taste of what your quality is all about. NO PROBLEMS THERE! Hope to see you today, Lyn Skyn and Bad C are drawing near!

Reps drive by!

Thanks for the update on your grow. The girls look marvelous!

This is the man that taught me to grow. He's been doing this for years and he gets better! Talk about being one with your plants, it's him.

 

[A1Weed]

Cheers to that OMM He taught me a thing or two and still I learn from him Wood

 

[NorCaliwood]

Thanks y'all. But really we teach ourselves, trial and error. But it always nice to bounce ideas off others sometimes, and that's what this whole network is about. I'm stubborn and don't do changes well. Take this damn pc I just got that new well newer program and I hate it. I had just gotten use to Vista. Now we got to learn the whole thing all over again. Hey y'all want to see something funny, watch how much problem me and sHEMP are going to have getting his thread up and growing. Miwa I'd like some of that too. I think I've gotten my Cripit up there over 20% THC by now. You know you get some good genetics but you still have to work with it to find out what it likes. I'm thinking I'm going to really like this Bubblious I'm growing. A1Weed's been growing it for afew years now. But the plants a fast growing. And I did try a couple clones "caveman style". I took the cuttings dipped them in Vitagrow placed in a starter plug then placed then directly in dirt and keepem around 70 degrees. Here's Rambo and God Bud in the clone cave'

But what's new here? Just the OG Kush has come down. She did 58 days in flower. The last 3 weeks under that 1500 watter HPS. She really started packing on the trichomes in her last 2 weeks. I 'could've' let her go another day or two but a bird in hand, and besides my jars are getting alittle low. So I am going to see what this new programs does with my pictures. 'Strawberry' OG Kush;

She is a viney type plant that needed abit of support, but she was covered in buds that size. Dry like 3 grams per main bud, but there is a lot of them. Well I have acouple more pic's of her;

and;

I'm not sure how they'll look with this new program I'm using. Well least I figured out how to post.
Ok I also got one ugly ass plant growing. She's a auto and she just started to sprout hairs Strain is Jack Herer. Right now she won't take no beauty pageant;

Well that's it for now. I di take a sample off the Cripit plant. I'll see if I can get a good pic of her. One thing about the Cripit, she looks 'cold' Once more everyone thanks for looking in and Keepem Green.

 

[420GodsTrichome]

Truckin, along nicely brother!

 

[CISCOKID]

That's some great background color "pops" the green and trichs like a mutha! Sweet Mary Jane... Hey here's a song you may be familiar with...CHEERS!

 

[sHEMP]

Can't wait for the Strawberry! Looking forward to June and sampling my own wares. Everything is up and running for begin flowering. Configuring my electrical cords so they don't look like a spider web. Ballast sure makes a lot of noise. Got comments from my family. Waah, Waah. A little noise is good. Especially since it is constant, no coming and going. Not a lot of room left for anymore vertical growing. Made a beautiful stand with wire racks for my plants to sit on, only 10 1/2" high, but after putting my plants in, I realized after raising the light that I had no more room to raise. Bye, bye to my rack, need that space. Oh well, it will be great for vegging and a little flowering. Was worried a little about the temp, but after monitoring for a couple of hours, I opened and closed certain vents to see what works best for regulating. It got as high as 79 degrees, but I brought it back down and am holding steady at 75. I'm going to try and inch it closer to 80. Light sure is bright. I love it all, and I am super pumped about the way everything went in transition. It was pretty smooth because I was organized before I started. I am excited though! Thank you Norcal...you are the man!

 

[miwa]

good bud shots..that auto looks like my 1st and last auto did...sure changed my mind about growing autos..gonna try again though..if i ever get my hands on that auto pounder..shes been evading me..got to find the right bean bank...

 

[NorCaliwood]

Thanks GT I'm still putting along. Looking for that one strain I'm going to call mine besides the Cripit. I have acouple new ones up and coming too. Rambo and Mazzar Kush. Oh and acouple Vantage seeds again. Hey Miwa look at a auto called Magnum by Buddha Seeds. I've just started seeing this strain in advertisements in High Times. Looks like it could be a good one. Auto's have their place. But reality sets in, auto's don't clone, and under lights it's nothing new to grow a plant out in 75 days, starting with a rooted clone. But to me auto's wood make killer guerrilla growers plant. Harvest in July from outdoor, you beat all the rippers and cops to the draw.
sHEMP I'll have to see what you call noise. All ballasts make some noise, but I bet it's just a hum. That small 6" inline should make more noise than anything else. That's that sad thing about restricted height in a grow. By the time you figure pot height, light height, and distance you need to have between the two,,,,, it doesn't leave a lot of room2 1/2 ' maybe. Well I'm glad to see your babies are looking just perfect sHEMP. Time to flip them.
Well I took acouple pic's of the Cripit Sample I cut last night. She's about 7 weeks in and just started putting on the weight. My Baby;

and;

Well thanks for looking in y'all and I'll get acouple more pic's as they come up, till then Keepem Green

 

[NorCaliwood]

Like the way they taught me to spell Strawberry back in Arkansas?? Man I'm stupid. Keepem Green
