BeAn's grow diary. 2006!

[mossy]

Hey BeAn..the house is looking good...
Those girls look to be in 10 ltr pots..and it is going to hold quite a few..
I have to keep a low profile..anything that sticks its head above the parapet is in danger..
it may be warmer than the UK..but the winter winds are vicious.
Another reason to breed small plants
Nice..

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

..this is gonna be the best season yet me thinks...

No kiddin - fabulous setup BeAn! Your grow is looking very healthy - really bustin out They're gonna love being outside. Gonna hang and enjoy viewing, wish I could do some outside myself - but your garden is the next best thing

hmmm,,after several hours of swearing n cursing,, drinking stout, smoking spliffs,, by several flash-backs of younger years in Cornwall, stoned, on a cliff, trying to work out which guide-rope goes where,, we finally got the grow-tent up,, lol



It was dark by this stage, but I was taking a photo anyhow... hehe

Toms and the Chilies love it


Thanks for the inspiration BeAn

Nah worries man, likewise...that tray is a great idea...

That tent looks great, they are the next best thing too glass..a poly tunnel would be awesome, but i kinda dont have the room.

Jah bless and be safe you dude's!!

AW BeAn MAN..that is a photo and a half....
Iwannatakephotoslikethat.
What did you use on it..
Just tell everyone you caught it on a nettle..same kinda saw-leaf..

The largest pot I used last year was 20 ltr..on the beast Afghan..
by mid August..she had eaten all the soil and I just had a root plug in a pot.
I ended up half hydro-ing her. I had to provide all her nutes on a daily basis..she had nowt left in the pot.
Worked though.
I got over 300 g's dry off her.

Now on a 30 ltr. pot...mmm.....

Back on track, with pics and words...

..been a while, so heres an update:

The clones have recovered, taken root...and are days from the 6.5L pots. The Lifesaver clones have re-vegged, and now a buddy has a cut to grow for himself...so we can see how she does in a beginner's garden..she's survived a year and a half with us so i know she be fine.

Point and shoot man, simple as..the camera does all the work for me. Microsoft Picture it is a great program for playing with pictures also, thats where the smudged background came from..

I think ill be ok with as many females as i can fit into the 30L, and smaller clones of whatever in smaller tubs..thanks for the info man..


Docleaf, looking good man...im glad to see that you managed to get one of those pips to germ, i couldnt lol...

Apollo13...without a doubt...if you did that, id have your babies...(lol)

Thanks for the kind words, pop back anytime...

BeAn..have to say M8...those backgrounds just make the photo.
As soon as I get time I will investigate the photo site.
I am still running a bit behind...ATM

Girls look superb as always...
I used to grow garlic in the pot with my clematis..to keep the bugs away. Hope it works the same for you.
Just don't cuddle up to Simon..if you think he has been nibbling.
When we were in the UK..we used to feed my Mother dogs on garlic sausage..
for evilness
Not only does their breath smell..but they fart like Billyoh...

 

[BeAn]

Its not a website, Microsoft picture it publisher comes with the PC...you may be able to download it from MS.com...?

Its great though, you can do just about anything and its easy to sus out..the smudged background draws your eyes to the centre piece, which creates the composition of the picture.

Lol, thats cruel...not to the dog, i bet they loved it...but i feel sorry or the rest of the peeps in the house. Lets hope it keeps the bugs away, its not for eatin only bug repellant..the mite seem to have fuckd off anyway so i think its workin'.

Be safe dude..

Update..


I posted some pics of the Apollo11's up on the Homegrown420 forums, and Fet said that its hard to see from the camera angle's...but it looks like one if not both of the males has Genius traits..just waiting on a reply to these better pics, i hope that they are...these are my F3 fathers so im hoping to pass on the G side of the cross to the Progeny.

 

[mossy]

Fingers crossed for your males m8...
I am just about caught up with my grow now..so I may get a little time.
The photo suite that came with the Kodak is damn good and easy to handle..but the one that came with the new camera is a lot more involved...and you know what I am like with buttons..
Now the weather is good..I can get out and practice.
The photo of Simon and the wasp make me more determined.

French marigolds do the same job as the garlic..I notice paddi has them in his canna garden. I also found Basil brilliant..as the bugs prefer it's tender leaves to canna..so you see you have probs before they hit your girls.
I love basil in my food..so it is no hardship...basil actually smells quite like canna..when you bruise it.

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

Hiya BeAn
Good to see your garden back up and atem! Looks great - and possibly 2 Genius males?

 

[mossy]

BeAn..I need to wiggle....
F4 Black Indys..started germing last night..say no more..

 

[BeAn]

Well, i dont think that any of the Apollo11's we have are Genius pheno's..but who cares, we sure dont..im 100% sure that the girls will rock, and the boys will make good daddys..lol.



So the indoor crop is now on the go, its official...thats why ive been holding off on this thread some-what. The girls are in the 6.5L tubs, i lost 3 plants to dehydration before the re-pot(its been getting over 100*F in here lol, wasnt home much last week 'cos of work..so a few died...mainly Fiesta's i think.) That leaves one 3D#5, a lone 3D#3..2 Lifesavers, two A11#5 and 2 FM#3. Although im not flowering all the Fiesta's in one go, which was the plan originaly..im sure i can find out some way of identifying which are which before long.


^^3D#3, now this is complete speculation...but from what little pictures ive seen, she looks to be A13 dominant..(going by the skunky smell and leaf shape alone..time will tell.)



^^Our beloved Lifesaver, showing a bit of PH deficiency..maybe the Lime..maybe not..not bothered, she'll pull through. Hopefully we'll get enough flowers to uild up a stash from this grow...and maybe make some bubble..



^^Apollo11#5, apparently A11 is a great producer in a SCROG..hopefully we'll be blessed with some real nice flowers...



^^FM#3, im hoping she is an Astroboy...if not, im still happy..but Astroboys are what we're shooting for.

Fingers crossed for your males m8...

Lol, point and shoot man...but practice does make perfect, i still havent worked out how to use all the features on my cam...macro and night shot yeah, but i just stick it on auto and hit the button..its got one of those things that doesnt take the pic until its steady...pretty cool man, makes it hella easy.

Basil would be cool to grow, i need another outdoor herb garden for cooking..for sure. How do rubber gloves help with the pest's, washing up maybe..do they really scare off bugs or are you pullin' ones leg? lol.

F4's man, your working with a stable line now i guess...awesome. I cant wait to see how they turn out, if they're anything like the last crop...well, the pics say it all..

Hiya BeAn

I doubt it, but its no loss i think...i think going by the Genetics, the F3's will produce some real keepers..then comes the F4's...*insert evil laugh here* lol..

Jah bless you all, you guys make this thread what it is..

 

[Guest]

Nice to see the indoor!
Best of luck with them i have my and am ready for a little adventure into an indoor jungle!

 

[BeAn]

Thanks man, here...roll a blunt..




Ill be back with pics as soon as i takt some, im too stoned right now...this is why i hat indica's, you cant get anything done.

Jah bless dude..

 

[sugabear_II]

nice thread bean - way to recover all the og days too

im too stoned right now...this is why i hat indica's, you cant get anything done.

^ I always appreciate the fact everyone likes different buzzes and has different tastes. I always feel more relaxed and can focus on one thing at a time when I'm on a strong indica. Some strong sativas leave me anxious and paranoid...and anxiety is one of the reasons I use pot to medicate. Though, I do appreciate the trippiness of a good sativa buzz

Great Green lineup you got in here

 

[BeAn]

way to recover all the og days too

Thanks man, im too high to know what you mean...but thanks anyway lol..@BeAn

TML, I love Indica/Afghanica's when i wanna sleep...or not do much, but not doing much isnt good. Ive been late for work 2days in a row, the house is messy..and i forgot to send off my paperwork...thats why i need more sativa, even 50/50 hybrids allow me to actualy get anything done.

Basicaly i wanna be stoned all day, and night..lol...420 4eva maaaaaan.

Thanks for the kind words man, Jah bless..
