Weasel Forges Ahead

Oh I know sarcasm when I hear it- I’m finely attuned to that. Aus and Canada have quite a bit in common that way. Here when I was a kid school was all about the great white voyageurs who courageously battled through the bunch of dangerous bad nothingness to start paving everything and build Fort this and Fort that and get down to killing animals and trading their furs. Oh the glory.
Now the story is mostly how the dirty greedy European people invaded and stole the land from the wise aboriginal nations that were living here among the plants and animals in spiritual peace and harmony.
Both stories are a crock of shit really. The place where I live has undergone change after change for as long as humans have been here. The natives de jour claim to have been here 10.000 years, but in reality they stole it when they moved in a few hundred before and wiped out an earlier tribe. They hate talking about that though. Many many tribes have come and gone, been pushed out, wiped out, enslaved. Patterns of migration, need/greed, war, racism, disease, trade, intermarriage, friendship, a little peace and harmony sprinkled in now and then. The European invasion was just the biggest one in a long history of human flux.
Nowadays the tourists come to my place from the city with totally ridiculous ideas in their heads of the magical native culture and our local history. Life on the ground is completely different from whatever the storybooks/politics say, as usual.
 
Weasel I think your outlook on life and history is spot on! It also makes me laugh just a little bit :laugh: I guess it's my inner sarcasm bleeding through. As far as your lights, I'm just getting used to my QB boards. I went from hps to qb's and I'm amazed at how much my electric bill went down. As far as yeild I'm still in favor of the hps. But like I said it's my first time using the qb's. I have mine around 12" above the canopy as my 24k kept stretching. It doesn't seem mind being that close. When the plants were small at the flip to 12/12 they started drooping and I realized that I needed to turn down the intensity of the lights. I have 3 boards in a 32"/48"/60" tent running at 60% of 300 watts. Here's my 24k that's close to the light. Shitty pic

Thanks Dankman.

I’ll have to experiment around. Because the hanging cables on the boards are quite long, I wasn’t able to hang them much higher last night- so they’re about 20” away for now. Hard to get the sense that they’d burn or stunt the plants as I’m used to feeling a lot of heat from my lights. I’ll probably fry them a little and back off after. As a friend once told me when I was asking how to tighten the head (skin) on my banjo-
“Ttighten it up till it breaks, then back off a hair”. :laughtwo:

I think maybe these two factors relate. Like if you were running closer to the same electric bill as before maybe your yield would be higher than before ?
 
It's hard to compare running at 200 something watts to a 1k hps. I was spoiled before I moved with a spare bedroom to grow in. Now I'm in a tiny tent so I had to adjust. I think my hps wouldn't have even fit in my little tent. Even if it did it would have fryed them from the heat. So far I'm happy with the qb's. Mine are 4k spectrum, better for veg. I'm planning on getting some 3k's for flower
 
Mine are 3500k. For some reason that’s just what they chose to send me even though I asked for 3000k. From what I read (hopefully) that shouldn’t make any noticeable difference to my buds- especially combined with the HPS which are 2100k.
 
I'm sorry man, i'm not sure how to prove any carbon dating... Show me something 5,000 years ago and tell me it's 50,000, I won't be able to pick you up on it..what proof you after for 100,000 or proof for 40,000 do you have? Illogical numbers to me, struggling to remember shit from 10 years ago...

Thank you :). I think it was you who was asking about adding a particular nutrient and I offered to run your feeding schedule through the Hydro Buddy program. Happy to do that sometime if you are curious.



Thank you Graytail.

Normally when I give something the wrong voltage it gets fried. Seems odd they’d build in the ‘fry’ option so I’m guessing there’s more at work.

What distance do I hang these lights. Currently I have them at 16”- running at 125w each. I searched all over and answers were a little conflicting but if anything it seems I have them a little too close(?)






So you accidentally grafted some plants, that’s sort of funny. I could see that happening in nature pretty regularly I suppose. As I mentioned somewhere once before, I used to know of a hemlock tree that I found out in the forest. It’d separated into two trunks halfway up, which had then completely merged again about 6’ further up from that making an oval shape in the mid section of the tree. Not just glommed together as often happens, but completely integrated so they shared the same bark layer. So I suppose that’s an example of accidental grafting.

Ultimately, there are only 2 possibilities.

1) we are all of the same species and as such originated at the same point making all of our descendants migrants and settlers. If this is true, there are no natives except for that one place that we ALL are alleged to have originated from which I believe the general consensus for the time being is northern Africa.

2) we are not of the same species, and as such, should settle our interstellar disputes with might. Survival of the fittest then applies.

I am one that greatly appreciates science, GREATLY APPRECIATES! Yet I realize science is nothing more than a man made system used to measure things. Not knowing the full scope of things to be measured, we have not yet discovered to fool proof methods of measuring things and therefore our best information will always be skewed and biased, just like global warming models that have to be continually re-corrected to align the trajectory of destruction to the current reality of no destruction. In short, our math and science is very fallible and mistake prone. Don't get too committed to what our current science is telling us now because I assure you that our science 400 years from will disprove things that we hold to be irrefutably true.

Too much to agree with there and expand on... History being corrected or rewritten? History :sorry: his-story.:reading420magazine:high story :bong: :nomo: hi story :ciao:
 
You do edibles?
I used some butter, spices and melted dark chocolate melts, blended dried cranberries, chilli and nuts, sprinkled on top, into freezer.. used an iceblock mould. Cardamom is a spice that seems to work with the taste of cannabis.. I struggle with inedibles, i mean that overpowering cannabis taste..
Infused Olive oil and Curry's might work...
 
That all sounds very tasty. No I don’t really do the edibles thing. I’m usually happy when i do try it, cause it’s a nice high, but a little bit of cob has been all I’ve tried lately in that dept.

I took my male Golden Tiger our of flowering and into quarantine to collect some more pollen. I’ll pollinate a little of whatever else I have in flowering. Off the top of my head that’s- three different phenos of P Chunk amounting to five PC plants I think, a Carnival, a Tutankhamen, a Chocolope, a Chocolate Mint, and a female GT.
Male GT

Male GT



The GT is obviously one of those Malawi-esque versions which are super speedy, but I’ll flower this one and then probably ditch the strain and keep sprouting more, looking for a more Thai one.
 
Ffs. Slow the hell down in here

Love the qb light. Now i just gatta take some pics. Tonight.

Y'all are awesome

Cheers

Ha ha :laughtwo: Yeah they started fast and I could see what was coming- another one of those floor-mop things I like to grow sometimes.
Like this one.

By the way I started smoking some of this Ethiopian, and after a cure it seemed like it got quite a lot stronger. It’s the speediest stuff I’ve ever smoked. Holy shit. I like speedy weed as long as it’s got a nice glow to it, but this stuff is so jittery I thought I might jitter apart, without the nice glow. They could give it to those poor suckers at Guantanamo- wouldn’t have to worry about them dozing off on the job anymore. After a week they’d probably be asking to get the relaxing strobe lights and metal tunes back.

I also made a gallon or two of wine from the Ethiopian- which I should bottle and test soon.

Just seen this... :) Think if we look back I may have mentioned something, possibly has more to offer than looks or her looks shows she got something else to offer, either way, glad you tried her ..

nice and green
 
PC X MT four between wet paper towel... Hopefully not as finicky as she sounds...
 
One more thing about cloning I feel is worth mentioning is that I attribute my success in cloning to the time that I actually remove the cutting from the plant relative to how long the light was on for that day. I do the cloning process about 1/3 of the time into that day. I believe that 6 or so hours is adequate amount of time for photosynthesis to make a good amount of energy in the leaves, yet the 12 or so remaining hours of daylight will allow the cutting to repurpose that energy into rooting and stabilizing the rest of the plant.
 
thot i would post a pic or two taken under my newish lights. i now have three different kinds if led.s. one ole style mars hydro,, one new style growmau5 puck , and two new style mars hydro ts1000s.

i am gonna get yer details on your new light weas, and maybe order one of them too. 200 u.s. sounds right on.

1816469


that there is my studio flower room,, it has been renovated to one level and using the full floor footprint,,

used to look like this

1816473


pics confusing anyway,, cant tell whats goin on there. so,, bottom pic crowded and in scrog,, top pic uncrowded with individual cages instead of screen. now i can remove the plants from the room while flowering for spraying,,much easier and more effective.

in a 36" x 42" floor space i have two mars ts1000,, should be enuf i think,,

and i have a tent as well, in my bedroom,, virtually, but not completely,, bug free and mildew free

1816474


36" x 36" mars hydro tent with one ole style hars hydro blurple and the growmau5 puck light,, might require a lighting upgrade,, to yer type light perhaps.

four plants in here,, the last two soil plants i have as well,, near all hempies now. the lower right,, a white widow,, is ready fer harvest next week,, 70 days,, has tiny little buds, but nice and frosty and dense as all get out

the back left is a blueberry,, half way thru flower,, possibly the best plant i have ever grown,, dunna wanna jinx it

1816478


but commin so darn nice,, smells and sticky unlike any blueberry i have ever grown,, and this is the same plant i have been cloning over and over for near five years now

the one back right is an og kush cross,, like i sent you,, the back right is an og mack and the front left is a lemon haze afghani cross,, it will be so trichomey,, i cant wait,, i have grown this before and it was the trichomiest i have seen yet,, so this will be epic,, fingers crossed

1816480


look at them leaves reaching for that light,, just lovin it. lights between 14 to 18 inches away,, like you weas,, i have them probably too close, and i am looking for bad light too close sighns before i back them off a bit

this og mack will absolutely be the last soil plant,, but it sure is growing well in this soil,, this will be a stunner, i just know it

i just love to see the plants soo happy,, it reflects completely on me,, i am happy too considering how frustrated i have been with all this lately.

i still have bugs and am still battling mildew,, a bit,, but at least now i can remove the plants from the grow space for inspection and ailment control

thanks for letting me share friend,,

go raptors
