Grow area is looking great O'henry Careful someone will put you to work as a carpenter. I know we are going to see some great buds come out of that room. Looks like a good time was had by all Ill keep an eye over this way . Great work
Damn Bro looks like a hell of a party. I haven't used the Absinthe I got from Greece yet, but soon, how was it? Looks like your attic is right on track. Your going to have quite a room. Thanks for the picture.
Good to see things going so well......the cost hurts a bit but not as much as a problem caused by cutting costs, so many times before my latest set up i cut corners due to either convinience or cost and each time i probably, by doing so lowered the yield and had to go buy crap weed and spend more money once i ran out, this time much like yourself i dont ever plan on running out again.............keep up the good work with this thread, cant wait to see how things pan out.......ECSD bag seed eh? who knows maybe another elite clone to be found.
Peace
I am sorry if this has been adressed already, but did you do anything to insulate the ceiling in that space at all, I imagine that would help with hot and cold temperature issues.
I can't wait to see how this all turns out, its a really sweet setup
Guv...still got a TON of work ahead but it'll all be worth it.
Boink...the stuff ROCKS!!! three shots and I was feelin nice!
Hopefully you can scoop up some pro mix in your area.
Tru...Money does make it hard but in the end its worth it. I just need to not smoke away all the pot that'll off set the costs...lol!
Hey there Gunns! Thanks man
Smoke...I've got some rolls of insulation I'll be putting above the flowering chamber to offset the cold outside...this is going to be a continuing battle of temps but I'm ready and willing...

Stay tuned for MUCH MUCH more...soon to come. OH
Howdy OH, things are progressing nicely in your attic, well done. I have a question for ya, ive been griwn in dirt for the last 3 months or so, first time in a long time and im not very good with it, i have been using R/O water with added Cal-Mag and Floa Nova nutes. I have a couple plants that are close to finishing and i want to start giving the strait H2O. What should i water them with, strait R/O or R/O with Cal-Mag or just plain tap, my tap is about 270 ppm.
HI bonzo. The new avatar is from the bottle of Absinthe and I thought it fit just right!
My flush generally consists of two-three weeks of watering. I'll do one or two heavy flushes depending on the size pots I'm working with. I like to let the roots soak in some clean water prior to the flush to soften up and build ups that have occured during flowering. Then, using a 16" square grill, I'll set the pot on top of a 5 gal and let the water collect. This makes it visable and much easier to determine whats coming out over the course of the flush. I use 2 or 3 times the amount of water compared to the size of the pot.
(ex. 1gal pot= ~2.5 gal water) Not scientific by any means but a great rule of thumb. I've had great luck using these methods and always end up with a clean burn and great taste. My buds are never overpowering with smell....UNTIL their broken up. I think this has alot to do with the minimal amounts of oils, nutes, and starch's that are left in the buds. Just the way I like it. I'm not quite familiar with your nutes, I used EarthJuice, although I may mess around with some Advanced this run. Well....I'm stoned so you got the long answer. Hope it helps....OH
Well alot has just happened and I am SUPER SUPER STOKED...
When I closed up shop last time I gave my clones to HC to hold.
Today I picked up two girls I've been dyin' to get growing. Cindy99 and Strawberry Cough! These two are ready to be cloned, veg for two three weeks and go under the 600! What a time warp! Thanks bud-
He also hooked me up with some new beans! Some SuddenlyBlue from TRC, Bubbleberry x Buddha's Sister, Bubblegum F2's, and some mystery ART's Blend. I am excited to get these goin' soon!
Crazy also just hooked us up with some Ducksfoot!!! Oh SWEET!!!!!
That'll be next as well!
Thanks guys! Who new I'd end up finding such great friends online!
No prb Bonzo. I usually enjoy writing the stoned version anyways...
Tonight I'll have pics of my two new girls....and I'll be cloning cloning cloning! Can't wait for the fun. I do have to admitt though...the attic is tight quarters...you should NEVER take for granted a good house or apartment spot.
It's getting colder here now and I'm just hoping I can control it in the deep winter months. With no light, insulation, or heat source the temp in the empty flower room is 41 @ 6a.m. I'm sure it will get even colder as the snow has not even begun to fly. Small oil furnaces, along with a ton of insulation will hopefully resolve most of my issues. I'll be running my 600 (and possibly getting one more) during the night hours to maximzie the cooling effects. I'm just gonna have to wait and see I guess....
The veg chamber, utilizing my T5 and 400mh stays between 72-76. I've got no intake or exhaust as the air naturally passes through the attic.
I don't find it to be climate control rather climate management. Climate control gives you the feeling that there is a constant comfort level. Where as management requires constant attention. AHH! (me just venting...escuse me!)
I finally used the black/white poly and I love it. Gives you some killer walls and blocks the light great. I've got as much invested in poly as I do anything else! lol. I'll be trying to reuse it all on the next run...I only used thumbtacks so the op would be able to get dismantled REAL quick if need be.
Ah well...another two minutes of your life spent reading a silly post! I love this place. OH
OH
OH my sister is sending me over some Absinthe ( 2 bottles) from Switzerland. I've never tried it only heard about it. Tell me your opinion.
:friends: :friends:
I love it. I don't drink much but I was more than happy to slap back three shots. The stuff gives you that little extra kick...It's wierd....very enjoyable. I'll be ordering some soon myself. Have fun! Cheers! OH
