Seagem- I'm going to try to post a link to a grow that uses a system similar to what I think Vape is describing but I haven't posted a link before so idk if it'll work...

SteveHman's Grow 7.0. Advanced LED - Multiple Strains

He used smartpots in a concrete mixing tub & had a shopvac to suck up any extra water.

I hope Vape doesn't mind my jacking his thread but I think this will be post #50 for me and I can PM after this????

Crossing my fingers...

Glad it helped. I was trying to delete the post or the link because I think its rude to post a link to someone else's grow (feels like cheating...lol) but I can't.

Vape...please feel free to delete it or edit it....wont jack your thread again...I promise.

Yup! That's pretty much along the linens of what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure only a mod can delete or edit someone else's post, but why would I want to do that? That's just more good info added to my journal! And I'd hardly call it hijacking when you post an example of what I was discussing!

Glad you were victorious in battle!!!!!
Gnat Bastards
I know they don't really harm anything but when your growing in your home it can be a major nuisance to have them flying around all the time.

I'll keep in mind what you said about the EWC & manure because I transplanted into fully high brix soil this weekend but will probably have to add some of both after a while.

They are truly beautiful plants and waiting MONTHS till I have my own to enjoy is going to be torture for me

as always and it's truly a pleasure to watch you work

It seemed like that layer of EWC and manure had become a gnat love shack...I think if I put my ear close to the pot I could almost hear music, those little bastards were partying so hard! Not good music either...cheesey 70's porn music.

They will go after the plants if they run out of fungi to eat...so they definitely needed to go!

ooohh! aaaahhh.. hehe Now those are some sweet group shots my medicated friend. I know you said you don't like to count your chickens before they're hatched, but do you have a guesstimate for yield?

I want to, but I cant! I'm not too superstitious about a lot of things...but I just can't bring myself to guess here!

I've got some numbers in mind that I had as an initial goal, but I somehow feel like talking about them in public at this stage would be thumbing my nose at the cannabis gods or something!

I think almost anything's better on a stick! Ever see those pork chops on a stick they sell at ball games?

Maybe some Barry White when they were feeling romantic????? ::

Thanks for being cool about it.

I think the 1.6 gal white square pots you're thinking of using next are the ones I'm using now. I'm feeling the need to stay on top of the microbe snack bar to try to prevent issues and thinking I should go bigger but they are what I have so I'm using them. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to harvest something before you're ready for your next go-around & can give you some feedback??? Very different grow type from what you're doing though.

I think I like these pics even batter than the last ones

have I mentioned I hate trimming?

It'll be really nice when the day comes when we can all openly help each other out like neighbors should.



Hope you're feeling well...

Vapedogg- hope your work load eases soon.

BTW, did you try GLR lighting for veg? Your thoughts?

Thanks bro! Yup! I didn't go into a whole lot of detail, but I mentioned it and posted a couple pics back a ways. I switched my moms over to the GLR not long after I started the journal, and it seems to be working as advertised.

Twelve12 had posted quite a bit of info on it, and lots of folks around here made the switch without incident!

Barry White?

Slow down, don't heat so fast, anticipation makes a good thing last, tease me with your emotions...Soon we'll share nature's body lotion. Are you ready to free? Girl you know you got just what I need... Oh baby, my missions clear, it's more than love that keeps you here... I've got staying power... Just when you think it's over, I'll come right back again. I've got staying power...

Nah...even cheesier than Barry!

If you stay on top of I think you'll be fine...But I never did see that "leave shine" like doc and others growing in the larger pots get. But I also didn't cook my soil as long as I wanted to...and supplemental CO₂ does change the leaf structure slightly...might have something to do with it. I only vegged for what, two weeks? There are a lot of variables, but I think the pot size played a roll. What does it mean that I never got that awesome look to my leaves? I have absolutely no idea...but shiny leaves look nicer...so I want them!

Sorry...I haven't stopped vaping since this afternoon! But I'd love any feedback you can give!

I'll have to mix in some of the each kind of pics for the next update!

i agree, all the buds i seen going into the trimmer where sort off all ready trimmed with no small chunks of branch or side bits hanging off, so basically they was all trimmed except for the small buds leaves attatched to each bud, i didnt see any full or totally untrimmed buds go in, so to me it looked like you do most of the work before putting them into the trimmer just to finish them off, i did see one video of a decent looking one, ill try and find it, this bloke in the vid i watched just hacked aways at the branches and threw the buds in hole with the fan leaves and stems and it trimmed it all down, to me it seems like you could lose a hell of a lot of trichs been bashed around like that unless your aim was to make hash as the best part of the grow, it just seems a bit harsh to me, ok if your growing to sell but for yourself it seems a lot to waste and looks like you get a lot of waste that you dont need, ill try and find the vid i watched

Well, with the reading I did looking into them, they all seem to say to remove any protruding stems and fan leaves with exposed stems before putting them in the trimmer. They warn that the wire blade most of them use is traveling extremely fast and can break or bend if it hits stems. But it's those small sugar leaves that are all the work!

sold!

The Satellite does look cool! I watched a few of the videos...but at $8995.00 on the largest online retailer I won't be owning one anytime soon!

The trimmers do seem to work exceptionally well on small buds/popcorn though...have I mentioned I hate trimming?

9K? Holy sh*tburger.

What you said!

If you were running an operation that truly needed a machine trimmer the cost would be recouped quickly though, and I think that amount might look small compared to what they spent in the grow room.

Q. sorry if this was covered earlier, but you're just using RO water w/ no pH down, right?

Okay...I've been trying to answer everyones posts...the problem is, I've been at it for hours, but I'm so medicated right now that I keep getting lost trying to go back and answer the next one! I'll figure it out eventually. I think!

Thanks bro!

I use un-treated, un-filtered, un-pHed, plain old city tap water, with plenty of chlorine and whatever other chemicals masquerading as fluoride my municipality decides to add for my benefit!

brother! I forgot to say that I've had a lucky break with the weather around here and temps have dropped big time, so I kicked the ballast up to 110%...I'm really hoping they will stack on some weight these last 2 or 3 weeks!

They made themselves fit better than I thought they would have...I'm very pleased with my first SOG so far!
