Re: Papa Green's Utopian Sub v2 - You, Me, and Barney's Farm makes 3 - Perpetual 2000
Ahh thats ok I hate people who are happy all the time....
Humidity should go down soon concrete soaks up water like a sponge...
I have no idea what those bugs are their in the buckets not the rez.....?
Why do I always put so many periods after my sentences....
Who knows....
... I don't mind the periods a bit! Gotta love that cement.
those are great looking plants....most def. sativa's, nice leaves....i just finished reading about some pot plants in asia, that are thirty ft tall, with trunks over six inches across, the weather is so mild that they grow like trees...now that would be interesting....lavendar
Huge pot plants are amazing. The biggest I've ever seen in real life was about 10' tall. Cola bigger than my arm. Once they go more than a year though, they lose potency. Then it really does just become a weed. Not had the time to do the reading I'd like lately - I'll be checking out your journal later.
You have springtales. Little beneficial bugs that eat decaying plant matter and algea/fungus. I did a little research and decided to keep them around for their beneficial uses in my garden, and no drawbacks soo far. It's been 4 months now that I've had them. They will spread to moist locations, and are often mistaken for thrips, but are smaller, and white to brown, and float around in little clumps when flooded. 'Rafts" I call it. loll your fine man. Good bugs.
ps. they are most likely draining down when your pots watering system runs. They don't actually live in the water, but moist grow medium/locations. The ones your seeing are most likely the ones that got washed away. The res wouldn't have them/many because they are living by trimming the roots, and eating up nasties in the rootzone. By trimming the roots I mean eating the dead tips thus promoting better root branching. Just like topping or FIM'ing your plants above ground.
Thanks so much for the quick response on the bugs! I read it the other day, but have simply been too busy to post. I feel guilt if I only respond to one comment, so I was waiting til I had enough time to catch up.
Sounds like the best kind of bugs to have. They are welcome to my garden any time!!!
AMEN!!!
Hey Papa Wrote a post to you the day of the accidental mishap. but think I for got to hit send.
Glad everything is getting back to normal now. Actually, I found you posted some good stuff...like everything off the floor, the floor its self, and all electrical in the space above the grow.
That is some weed outside...too bad its not one of our favorite plants.
Thanks OMM. Yubb. I actually feel better about the room now that that happened. The room is now battle tested. Electrical, H2O, temps - everything seems to be where I need it basically. A few more venting and fan issues to deal with - gotta try to scrape out another 3000-5000 BTUs of efficiency somewhere or get another small air conditioner. The Veg room climbs to 82 and that's too hot for my liking. But that's the worst problem right now - so I can deal with it at a comfortable pace. I THINK - THINK being the key word - that all fires are out now.
Looking great Papa! That top is awesome, I need to cut the two tops (my bad fim job) off my JC2 mom to keep her small. So I think I'm going to try that. Baggie,need holes in it? And rootech, And I have some FFOF the same soil the mom is in...
I will just give them to a friend if I don't kill em, I wish I could grow some weed outside!
I had a plant hermi, she's is no longer among the living. Maybe two days till she dry enough to trim... Oh hello I forgot to get a case of jars. Maybe I should smoke less before going to the store. I write notes, I just lose them.
My mentor is a good cat! He owes me big time, he knows I will never bring it up and never abuse the privilege... When you work where we did a down machine meant stopping the line... $10,000 a minute when the line stopped... He paid me well, I took calculated risk's so to speak... We were retro fitting a plant built in the forty's with all new wiring, 24 hours a day 7 days a week we had someone there working. The plant ran 3 shifts we had to work around them Crazy, Lot's of places to hide and toke a J in that place!
You hiding a periscope in that outdoor plant?
I haven't forgot about ya,I've just been busy! Peace Bro
Edit: That's cool ya got good bugs! That's the first time I have said that in my life
Bummer about the hermi. As far as the clone and baggie - I did no holes. The bottom of the bag stayed semi-open and let air in. I used the super big zip lock bags.
I know what you mean with pressure at work like that. I work as a DIT - Digital Imaging Tech for TV and Film. My job is not to operate the camera, only to make sure it operates correctly, and set any complicated menu settings. Also I'm responsible for the time code and the footage. I always check the camera in between setups. If everything is going right, then you never hear my name on the radio. Basically I'm a data monkey.
But - if you DO hear my name on he radio - then its an emergency. It means the actors are on set, prepped in makeup and last looks are done, sound is ready, pyro and effects going, Director and DP sitting at the camera - everything ready to go, and they hit record and nothing. Then the adrenaline kicks in. Then like you said its anywhere from 100K-250K an hour while the crew stands around. And when I'm working, every Producer from the Agency, the Studio, the location... every big wig within radio range has to run to the camera to make sure that everything is being done. So I have to try to squeeze through this crowd of squeaky shoes, without disturbing cables, batteries, video village, props, camera, lights, audio, actors or anything else and fix the problem while EVERYONE watches EVERY single button I push or menu setting I change.
Pressure.

OK some minor updates for the daytime - while lights are out - then some big updates from the sub.
All is cruising along. Got in a few great days of yard work, and not only got lots gone on the cannabis sites, but also did some good landscaping in the front yard.
Here's a pic of the back yard from my deck. There are 3 cannabis plants in this pic - can you find them?
This is an Azalea plant I transplanted from elsewhere on my property. And my dog making sure nobody screws with my hours of work! Good dog! Also, there is a pot plant or two behind it - can you find them?
And last but not least - this is Green Dragon. My friend made this from some trim I gave him. Its Everclear and THC. One 30ml shot in a glass of Orange Juice makes a great mixed drink and is GUARANTEED to please.
EDIT: The jar has condensation on it - just took it from the fridge pre-Laker game. Makes it look less clear than it really is. It is very cool - crystal clear neon-green. And what looks like particulates in the pic are not.
I know I keep promising pics of the sub, but soooo much work and upgrades been done. Simply no energy left to post the last few days. I HOPE to wrap that up tonight, clean the place up and get some pics.
BTW I have moved the 6 Volde and 6 Utopia Haze to the E&G buckets. They are still in veg, but in their permanent buckets now. Pics coming later of course.
Gotta get some more stuff done, then get highly medicated and check out everyone else's great work.
