Pooh's CFL Grow - First Grow! Soil - Bag Seed - Welcome Friends!

Hey Pooh,

How's it going? Looking forward to seeing more pics when you get your charger for your laptop!

I know this isn't a music forum, but what the hell!

I agree with you, Pooh, about most stringed instruments being similar. I had a friend who years ago built a harpsichord. In a harpsichord, the strings are plucked and it sounds just like a guitar. In a piano, the strings are hammered. Before the modern piano, pianos didn't have steel harps, but were made out of wood. If you listen to historical recordings, they sound like guitars as well.

The only quibble I have about stringed instruments is the violin family. There are no frets, unless you count your fingers! Plus you can play vibrato. I guess you can "bend" notes on the guitar but it's not the same. Once a note is struck on the other instruments, the note dies out. In the violin family the notes sing. So I think the violin family is better compared to the human voice than with other stinged instruments.

By the way, the D suspended chord is really interesting. It sounds a bit like a second inversion of a G chord which the D sus chord would resolve to in classical music. I've never seen it used before! I guess it's popular in pop and rock music. I learn something new every day.

By the way, Pooh, if you're interested in various chord configurations for guitar, check out this URL!!!

thanks for the info brother!
i love when i smoke and get on here and find a big post about music i got all giddy!
I was thinking about the violin and orchestral stringed instruments also, its like piano meets voal!
and reading about all this makes me want a harp guitar so bad,
a harp guitar is a 6 string steel string acoustic guitar, with 5-6 sub bass strings, and some times even treble strings on the bottom.
and thinking about so many strings on a guitar i just thought of the perfect guitar...
a harp guitar with 6 sub bass and 6 treble strings and 12 guitar stings it would sing like a fucking bird!

and yeah that dog pissed me off. im glad you guys got a laugh out of it! i laughed when i realized how wierd it would be to scroll down and find something like that in a grow journal hahaha fun stuff.

any one wanna give me 45,000 dollars so i can get a custom made harp guitar? im just assuming 45,000...could be more lol
i gave my plant a really really low feeding of some flower food i got like a year ago at walmart. its blue and i talked to my cuzzo and he said that would be too strong for weed if i used too much. so i put a 4th of a tbl spoon in a gallon. and only gave the plant about a quarter gallon and the clone maybe 2 cups.
i love that flower food now man it made a tomato seedling pop up that i planted a long time ago! and made my lime trees perk up.
im high.
i need a harp guitar.
and some more cookies :peace:
 
oh and i get to feed her some hygrozime outta my cousins new bottle of it.
wonder if itll help lol.
still waiting on some money for mollassas
and a dome reflecter for my clone! and of course my money for my next grow :D
"magic bananas, h2o." love commercials sometimes man.
 
thanks bro! pics might come today idk depends on this computers stamina lol
 
Pooh,

I second Miwa's suggestion of blackstrap molasses. Definitely do NOT get the sulphured kind! Blackstrap molasses is made from scraping all the gunk at the bottom of the barrel. It contains tons of trace minerals and if you use it, you shouldn't have to worry about any mineral deficiencies in your plants. As far as price goes, it doesn't cost much more than regular molasses, depending on where you buy it. Some large supermarkets carry it as well as health food stores amd places like Whole Foods, if you have one of them by you.

P. S. If you're enjoying the D Major seventh chord, you might want to try a few in succession, for instance,

DADFAC# GDGBDF# DADFAC# CGCEGB​

The first two chords are part of D Major, which is probably the key you're playing in and the last is a bit of a cheat, using C Natural instead of C Sharp. Major chords like these are the "Bondo" of songwriting, i.e., they can make a crappy song sound good, kind of like putting a dress on a pig (LOL)!
 
thanks ill tune up my geetar to a couple of those some time, but for now my strings are really starting to scare me and i dont have money to replace them so i cant put to much tension on them D:
pics in a sec if this computer will withstand it! got 14 to show!

sorry theres not alot this computer is the worst damn computer ive ever used lol.
:peace:
 
clone looks alittle beat up, had to tie her again.
man its cool as fuck to see those buds on my plant :)
 
Looks good dude, I'm a big fan of growin with CFL's. If I didnt drop a couple hundred on lights and nutes, i'd still be running with it. The buds come out pretty airy, maybe it was just my plant but I could fill up a sandwich ziploc and it would be like 11 grams. Crazy shit, but the smoke was great and I dig the fluff. Keep stylin brotha :peace:

S.C...
 
i love fluffy weed but it takes a chunk out of the potential yeild so for this grow itll be fine but im definitely upgrading for the next grow!
thanks for the kind words buddy!
:peace:
 
hello man
nice journal
you got some nice plants there i wish you would have a HPS but since they're growing ok and the high is ok
im new to indoor gr.me too was thinking to get some CFL to expand my garden
one more closet with CFL for veg.(some nice thoughts...for the future yeah)
i reallly wanna say thank you for replys on my grow it was very helpfull
i saw your guitar - thats great im very happy to see a musicians like me that are growing
i play the acoustic guitar too you know and i know how it is to get some blues going while getting medicated
i hope your grow turns out nice and heavy
ill be watcing this
enyoy man...keep on playing
:peace:&:Love:
aiob
 
thanks brother and yeah CFLs would make a good veg light and that might be what i do is make a CFL fixture for veg so my HPS bulbs last longer when i get my new light.
someone shared a video on a neat way to make a good CFL light fixture/reflecter. you should check that out when you think about setting up your veg room. thanks for the kind words!
gonna go smoke my last bowl and play some last bowl blues now! :peace:
 
Pooh,

When you said you were going to smoke your last bowl, did you mean for the evening or are you out of product? I hope it's the former. Nothing worse than running out of weed while you wait for the harvest.

If you are out, you can try a progressive harvest. That's where you harvest the top buds, cutting them off so that light can reach the lower buds that were shielded by the ones you just cut. That can increase your harvest but then you have to wait longer before you can plant your next crop.

Otherwise, looking good. I hope you can get some primo seeds for your next grow. After all, you spend so much time on growing your crop, why settle for inferior or unknown seeds.

Anyway, keep the home fires burning!
 
yeah buddy i ran out of toke :( only had a couple grams to begin with.
and thats what i plan on doing is harvesting the buds as they become ready, not the whole plant at once. witch will be cool. but i think after i hit a half ounce im gonna put that half up as stash after it cures and then sell the rest to finance my next grow and a help out with some other things.

definitely getting aurora indica for my next grow and getting new light and all the stuff i said i was. also want to set up a veg area with CFLs since they seem to work just fine for veg. and ill have my HPS for flowering. this way i can finish this grow and start my new one at the same time. because i know that this big plant wont be FULLY harvested for maybe 7-8 weeks, but my clone has longer and since i put it right into flowering and im LSTing it, i wont harvest it in parts it will only give a little anyway maybe a half to an oz.

DUDE is anyone else catching weed wars tonight on discovery channel?!
i just want to see their grow set ups!
and drool over the pounds of weed lol.
me and my cousin are getting together and smoking just for that show and watching it at his moms big ass fancy house.
gonna be cool.

i was thinking about my plant and checked on it this morning, the lower buds have more pistils and they stick up way more, the ones closer to the light are compact and dont look as good, could this be from the lights being too close? (an inch or two away) i know they are warms so that could be the problem. i am going to raise the lights untill someone tells me other wise. better safe than sorry.
its so cool to open my closet and actually see buds. makes me smile face :D
fuckin broke a top off tying it this morning :( im not gonna throw it away im gonna smoke it but damn man im gonna be thinking the whole time, this bud had so much potential. :( lol
oh well it wasnt a big branch ill live haha
ummm.
nothing else to say i guess. :D alittle stoned off resin, thats always fun.

dog did NOT shit on my carpet this time. just the couch. but shes sick so im not gonna give her too much shit about it. :peace:
 
smoke report on accidental broken top....

how high?
feels like i just smoke some reggae.
thoughts?
when this shits mature it will be amazing.
why am i talking like a news reporter?
cause im high.

fell asleep and when i woke up the lights were off so i dont know how my ladies are doing :( i know the clone is dragging ass though! that aint changed!
