The scrog setup on wilma was great, Shed will forever live on as a legend of the fridge generation. No diary yet, need a camera, but soon I'll have a 800w HPS closet grow of Menage-A-Twa going. Hope you'll stop by. Great work, I'll be using your threads for help.

I'll be sittin next to Tonatiuh passin his BBerry back and forth..
..and no, I never got my fridge to cool off enough.

Hope you don't mind if I tag along. Destroyer sounds like something right up my alley, too (and now will have to look up Apollo Mist). Don't know if you've read Motaco's "RUST," and "RUST GROW," (esp.) threads, but, they took me back to my first old school Mexican buzz. Crispy and green...just like the weed. So, for now, I live vicariously through your efforts.
Namaste, mess

crzygirl, Welcome aboard. Congratulations on your recent addition, you little spawner you.
treetop, I forgot to say Welcome to IC Mag! You'll love it here.
Tonatiuh Where else but ICmag do a SunGod and a Freezerboy come together? Nice Avatar.
Hey CD Good to see you again. Now, don't bogart that BB my friend, pass it over to me. Haven't you gotten to the bottom of those stairs yet?
messin Thanks for the tips. If the RUST threads remind you of old school Mexicans, I have to check it out. I have to think that's where the bulk of my smoke came from in those days and that's the smoke I miss.

Freeze goin for mucho trichage!
Destroyer has had my attention for quite some time. More from the descriptions rather than the fancy macro shots of a tric clump. (those shots are more fluff to me and I never really pay much attention to how stuff 'looks')
I like a nice couch lock every once and a while...long while really. I enjoy the racy types of weed much more. I dunno why...and I've thought about it much.
Of course it's all a pers. preference thing..but I feel it may have something to do with me not being a drinker...I can always do a couple shots if I need to settle down and mellow. And a non-drinker gets fairly phucked from a couple of shots of just about anything!
It also may have lots to do with the types of weeds I grew up on. Hell, I had been smoking weed for about 10 years before I ever even had my first hit of anything resembling indica pot. But I am rambling....
It's set...if you like this schtuff, then I'm gonna pop some of it next spring.
If I liked the Thunk well enough, I was gonna put out an outdoor of it next year for a monster. It aint makin the grade. Don't get we wrong, I love the Thunk that I grew out..but it aint there.
Dunno how weed was where you are back in the day...but I am looking for something like the old col red that I used to get every week for $30 a fat ounce.
ANywho...lock and load!

Pulling up a chair for this one. I am also giving away my O'hunk seeds. Somebody'll will want to grow them. Sell em on craigslist lol..........
Anyways I love the freezer, and the grow lets hope the Destroyer is the one!

You are going to be happy Freezerboy :wink:
Got some Destroyer going right now, two phenos. I have flowered one cutting of the other pheno straight as a rooted clone with great result! Now im about to flip that mummy & other pheno..
Also, made some crosses using it: Destroyer x PurpleKush(aka KranialKush), Powerplant x Destroyer, Swazi Rooibart x Destroyer to name some..
Some shots of that tiny sog plant...
+ some lousy "macros" to reveal trichs...
Still curing that cola.. All the samples I´ve smoked = top notch sativa high IMHO!!!
+ a good yield, considering flippin straight after rooted clone and flowered in 1.5 L of coco under 250 W hps!
One of the most underrated strains at the market + this is result of TRUE breeding

Hey Hoosier, you sound like my lost twin. My alcohol intake is the rare sip of Champagne at a wedding. Finest weed I ever had was $15 an oz. "$15? Are you nuts? I'm not buyin' a house, here!" Circa 1971-72, I have to imagine Central or South America was the source.
Thanks for the links messn'. I tried searching Rust to no effect. When I searched Motaco, i was overwhelmed with hits. Thanks for narrowing the search. Never saw his grow guide before. Cool.
Welcome to IC, Jack. Enjoy the show.
Herb, thanks for stopping by and for the pics, too.
I want to be sure I understand the photos. This is a Destroyer (as the file name suggests) and NOT one of your crosses?
Because, if you can keep a Destroyer to what looks like less than 12", that's great news. Normally, I'd be inclined to 12/12 now but, growing from seed, I need some veg time for cloning purposes. Maybe it's time for me to try some pollen chucking. Just need a place to flower males.

Weekend update.
First set of true leaves have spread out and the first fans are peeking through. Growth is fairly even, though Meg is thinner stemmed. Meg was always the vain one. Hope she's not anorexic.
Meg and Jo.
Beth and Amy.
Pretty girls all in a row.

Oh yes FB, it´s Destroyer "alá purá". Yes, it stayed at ideal height when flowered straight from rooted clone = roots came from the bottom of rockwool and I planted it in coco and put it straight in flowacycle. Maybe you could get little better yield with this style, but giving the roots two-couple days to accustom into medium in a veglighting before making the flip 
Anyways, im very satisfied with the result of that experiment, it could left it to ripe for a week more to get the most of it, but I was under a "situation" and these were gifted beans and I wanted to give this generous man some feedback about this great strain, in the case shit would go go down so to speak.....
However, gonna do a smoke report very soon, just to make this strain more known, because I seriouslythink that Charlie needs more recognition of his work. His a man who does real breeding with his strain and is not just chucking pollen to make quick crosses & quick buck! A man with true passion to the plant and such an kind & generous person -> my love goes out to Cannabiogen
I am starting to flower the another fem.pheno I got, it has bit of thinner leaves which make me think it may be the thai pheno, so it could take little longer than the another one to ripe
I hope you have one fem and one male, this way you can make some F2´s. Charlie has done so valid selection work that I doubt there is any crappy plants in pure Destroyer beans and the F2´s should offer some crazy phenos
EDIT: Oh, I see you got at least four babies, keeping thumbs up for a 3 different fem´s & one expectional male

Growing in a freezer? I'm foreshadowing that those plants are going to be iced out..

Hey FreezerBoy, I followed your last grow and I'm signing on for this one, too. You've been a good influence and source of info. Can't wait to see how this one goes - blue skies!

I had hoped to do a double decker, but it just wasn't roomy enough. As it is I feel like I oversized my light - 400w HPS may be overkill for an 18" x 24" tray - what do you think?.FreezerBoy said:
I removed the divider between the freezer compartment and fridge part for full height. I keep all my utilities, ballast, etc. on top of the fridge, hidden in some fake boxes.
Ended up with some bad nutes for my first go around with 'dro, so no diary worth posting - just plain embarrassing! Hoping for better results next round with GH Flora Nova nutes. Nice n' simple.
I'm going to finish these gals off and start fresh in November - look for the fridge diary then. I'm trying to reveg some cuttings from the healthiest girl. They're in a PC size clone box I built.
Thanks for the welcome, it's good to be here.
Herb, Thanks for the update. More than likely, once I have clones, I'll be doing something closer to what you've done. Part of me wants to try making seeds. The other part is terrified at the idea of pollen floating through the house. At least I know clones are safe.
ureap, Blacklight, and Shoe (sounds like a law firm) Welcome, Thanks for stopping by.
fridge Shed's barely larger than your's (22x29) I see what 400s do and I want one but, the 250 is all I can handle short of enclosing the hood and punching holes for a dedicated vent system. A wood/metal cab is a giant heat sink. Heat pours out in all directions. Fridge/freezers are insulated to hold all temp inside.
The "inquiring mind" side of me would love to see you try but, the "IC brother-in-arms" side says, a 400 could be trouble.
If you're doing a PC thing, you've got to check out microRU - Mad Russian Micro Genius
Tonatiuh Not much to update since yesterday. Last grow was my first with: 250, DWC, Sativa, ScROG, inline fan, EC .... I was always recovering from some screwup. Now that's out of the way, it's kinda' boring isn't it? How's about an update on your surgery. Hope all's well.

ROOT PORN!
I has root porn!
Well actually, it's Beth (left). She's just poking out at the bottom and you can see more through some of the holes. I was starting to chide Jo (right), for her failure to be the more creative sister when ... Holy Cow! How long has this been going on? You sneaky little woman.
So much for my nothing to update comment earlier. Who be chillin' with gas, now?
