Stealthy's NL/BB Hydro Grow

[usul]

Hi Stealthy, welcome home! I remember (most of) a Mexican vacation I did years ago. The drinking was going on non-stop. I couldn't keep up.

About your too-tall plants, you could set up an impromptu ScrOG. Purists will say this should be done before the start of flowering, but I think it could be helpful at just about any point in the grow, though you'd likely want to do it before the buds start stacking up. Where to set up the screen will likely depend on how far you think you can get the plants to bend. Doesn't have to be anything fancy - just some sticks and string really (and I'm sure you'd come up with something better than that). Some of the recent pics in my Red Cherry Berry journal show what I've done. Simple and it works. I'm 2 weeks into stretch and have raised the light only 2 inches.

Good luck!

Thats probably the best option really

Thanks for that... Id rep yah if I could lol.

Ill take a look tomorrow see if I can bend the tops low enough.
Ive already started bending the one I didnt cut because it keeps growing into the light and light no go up anymore, so I got a head start I guess.
Didnt think Id have this problem flowering straight from seed

It's funny how people project on others when they are really talking about themselves.

To me, it takes a hell of a lot more balls to say no.

Sorry, just had to say that...

Very True... oh and Rum too =)

Stealthy, how's it coming with the un-packing? You find your camera charger...

 

[Stealthy1]

Un-packing not so well... Classes started the day after we got back and an in-law is coming to day so I had to wip up another CS and install another fan the new fan is a different design and is much louder even though its rated for less sones...figure that out lol.
But thats all done room is just terrible stuff everywhere.

First off heres some mexiswag after about 30 crushed seeds removed.

And heres the plants one was topped due to burns and one was bent because light wont go any higher sorry time is tight some pics not so good.

That "swag" looks a lot better than the "lids" I used to get. Guaranteed a hundred seeds per lid. Whether you wanted them or not! "bong:

It's hard trying to juggle your life with your grow and your life always comes first.

Kudos to you for giving both your all!

I'm timed out for reps or you'd be getting some now!

Thanks fer da words labrat.

Life doesnt always come first lol

It wasnt to bad just not the quality were used to but couldnt talk the shady bastard down... and I didnt like standing in his store talking about weed while he holds the bag in plain veiw...

I gather that you're talking about scoring from a "dope" dealer. Sounds like a total tool and I feel for you that you have to score that way.

I haven't had to score in thirty years but I never go without. I've been lucky as I only need a 1/2 gram or so a day.

Keep your grow happening and with any luck you won't have to deal with a-holes like that anymore!

Guys like that tar us all with the same filthy brush!

Once we gain legality, scum like him will be asking for spare change on the street corner and dudes like us will always have a nug to toss in his tin cup!

Keep keeping it real man!

 

[Stealthy1]

Aye! well it was in Mexico and he clearly preyed on tourist like me who had the balls to ask around for weed.... Oh did I insinuate I had the balls? sorry it was the wife who asked. clearly shes less paranoid than me... but I was confident in my bribing abilities

But your right he was a scumbag the other guy we just happened to meet was really nice though all he had was 4 skinny joints but quality was better.

I was in Nassau, Bahamas a few years back and some dude was selling blunts for 20$ I had to pay it cause he was the only person selling. I have a house in BC Near TJ that is being added on to, I have my cousins adding a driveway and a couple apt. for company. I have a nice yard but nothing growing...yet. In Mexico BC you can purchase herb just like in CA the cops won't mess with you if you have a small amount for you. It can still be a dangerous place for tourists.

 

[Stealthy1]

Thats good to know sisco... seems alot scarier I guess cuz there are a shitload of federalies with rifles around the area lol. But yah they know youll pay especially when your on an island like that, we were in Cozumel could have taken a ferry but thats just as expensive in the long run.

 

[Stealthy1]

Actually come to think of it my avatar is a picture from our previous trip to Mexico... its a corner of a big house in the Tulum ruins. its a face carved into the wall hard to see here but its amazing close up it has just the faintest hint of paint left on it. I wonder what it looked like new...
I thought it was fitting because that guy is definitely stoned...
Id throw a larger version up but they will just pull it cuz its not related to 420.

But Tulum is just awesome allot of tourists but worth the trip tenfold

 

[Siscokid]

I was wondering what that was, I had an idea but you just satisfied my curiosity. That guy is stoned, lol yeah he is...
By the way those girls are they in flower already?

 

[Stealthy1]

since seedlings they have had pistils for like 2-3 weeks now hopefully they will start flowering in earnest now

 

[Siscokid]

Right, I sort of remember now, don't mind me my memory is clouded by so many journals and etc. I was asking because I just thought a super crop may help ya out with placing a net over them and letting the bottom growth grow to the same level as the tops...

But I guess that would stress a flowering plant too much. Back to the drawing board.

 

[Stealthy1]

Funny thing is The one I topped because of burns is popping hairs like crazy on all the secondary branches.
The un-topped plant seems to have stopped growing vertically very fast but is not popping the amount of hairs the other is.
its still growing a little bit and I have to keeps tightening the strings holding her down.
No screen yet dont have the materials here I need or my power tools I might just put some screws in the sides of the cab and weave the string that way from screw to screw.

One thing Ive been wondering is when to germ my other seeds... this method is supposed to finish in 7 weeks...thats not going to happen though the method sounds great but I believe you need the right plants for it. and the space.

What? your flowering for another 7 weeks. So it'll prob. stretch for another week or so before it just puts out bud. I think by keeping them tied down LST'e you'll be fine. Cause to scrog you would loose any growth under the screen.

Are we on the same page? Am I kookoo?

 

[Stealthy1]

Neither lol

I it was supposed to be 7 weeks from start to finish according to no mercy supply method...
They have been on 12/12 for a while now Ill have to look back and get a accurate date but 7 weeks is coming soon I think and there not even close yet.

Maybe its my fault because they were on 24/0 until their second true leaves sprouted only took a couple days but maybe that changed the game... regardless I decided I dont have the resources or room to do this method justice...

oh well next time Ill make sure I have me meds before I go experimenting lol.

 

[Stealthy1]

Ok So I ended up topping the other as well I just couldnt bend it anymore and it kept growing.

Maybe it will start pushing some real pistils out now like the other.

Hey Stealthy - hangin' in there with you, and it'd be really nice to see some pictures. I'd love to see all those pistils
