Hello my friends! MGJ, -VT-,GroNut, Mastre, kneehigh, Euology and Sleepy DUDE!!!!!!!how are you all! Thanks for bein' here, ya'll have really made me a bit teary for stickin around even though i was incognito for a bit. Well i been redoing things and im gonna show ya what ive done . First of all as you all know , i love to biuld and test and design new and different systems, that includes switching up nutes on a whim. Well i started noticing my harvests were suffereing gue to this. So i decided to completely clear everything out and set up what i know best and what has worked bet for me in the past.

So one thing i kept doing was vegging way too long and endidng up with trees that looked kinda neat, but come harvest time i was left with some beautifull main tops and then a ton of under growth (popcorn) really wasting my time. I was also battling Powdery Mildew and Mites: AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! So it was time to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate:



So thats what i have done and this is pretty boring causeits so basic really, remember my Super Simple ebb & flow Buckets? Well i biult new ones with 2 gallon buckets, 16 total buckets, basically 8 under each 1k:






In the second or thirdshot you can see my floor protection, its shower pan liner, i swear i find something new and cool i can use every time i go into HD.
I just loaded all the buckets with a few strains of Female Seeds so i will prolly start a thread in the FS Section

But what is gonna be so much fun for me (and hopefully all of you) is iv allways wanted to do a dedicated search for the biggest fattest Golden Skush mom i can find so i have dedicated my Big Momma Cab to doing just that and at the same time im gonna be lookin for a big studly male to make a couple crosses, woooooo hoooooo!!!!! fun, fun, fun!!!!

So i set up my 2, 3' x 3' tables and filled to the rim, 16 pots each, so 32 total, DUH! Anyhow i have been wanting to do this for the longest time and i think its gonna be a ball!











Anyway all 32 are filled:





Im back to basics with the nutes as well, GH3pt, a little bit of each: silicon, fossilfeul (fulvic acid) Hydrogaurd. Koolbloom in flower as well as a lil PK 13/14. Itook some neat pics of the plumbing but cant see, to find em at the moment. I think you guys will get a kick outa some of the crosses were gonna give a whirl here so ill keep ya posted as i know more.

OK My friends i hope to see you back soon and i am actually keeping a calender on this one!

Thanks for listening to me ramble and hopefully we will see this one to the end with some neat results!

peace my friends!

Looking good as awesome Bonzo. Your grow and setup is alwasy so clean and neat. You really got your grow space dialed in. By the way, how do you like those cool tubes? Do they really live up to all the hype? Thinking about buying four of them for the two mini coli's i got and was just wondering. If i run cool tubes. I con't have to have the heavy gauge wire in the middle to keep the plants of the lights bulbs that lean over. Love the grow like always and i need to get my lazy ass to finish up my bucket thread. I went with 3/4" fittings on my setup.
Take care,
BG

 

[Bonzo]

Yes , im alive Eology, wooooo hooooo , sort of I will post a link shortly.

Everytime BH, it never fails, i just picked up a new Ridgid, 9 gallon, 3.5 HP wey/dry shopvac, damn right, it kicks ass, i shopvacked the backyard!
ps right back at ya!!!!

GDW! How are ya dude? Thanks man. It sure is a trip startingg from seed, there so small for those few days. So i got 32 Golden Skusk, i think ill find the stud im lookin' for and defenitly a few killer moms! Well i only have 400's in my tubs and i can touch them with my hand, but i wouldnt want my plants to lean against or grow into it for too long, i think it would burn. Mini coli's? coolness daddy-o!

Yes , finish the bucket thread, you were rollin' bro

VERY IMPORTANT: do i want to pollinate my female with more than one male?
Do i want to pick 2 similar males or 2 different ones
Should i pick males for desired plant structure? Maybe i could run into ya in chat and i could pick your brain a bit?

ill pm ya , or if you see this pm me qnd ket me know your there.


peace out me friends, have a good one mang!!!!!

Was just at your thread yesterday, im still speechless, unreal bro you and the mrs have the most beautifull outdoor garden ive ever seen! Thank YOU for sharing that with all of us! Yeah i couldnt beleive how over grown the Trainwreck actually was untill i cut the strings and pulled her out, i was in shock for a minute, i didnt know what to do, she wanted to fall on the floor and you know how it is with sticky buds, they pick up everything they touch! Anyhow it was somethin thats for sure.

Thank you all so much for comin' by, it means alot to me, and this should be a fun run cause we will be thinning out as we go and im gonna be dependent on all of you guys input on which ones stay and which ones go, fun, fun, fun!

Hey Bonz! Mind if I sit and try and learn a thing or two? This is great! Give me a minute to catch up with what you got on here. Thanks for sharing!

hey bonzo,

Well my situation is a little different. I got some matierials dropped off to me, and said here go bucket style LOL. They had no need for this stuff as they stopped growing so now i am picking up where he left off.


The guy at the hydro store gave him all his ideas. And i think its similiar to your gravity ebb and flow bucket style. But the style you use with bucket withen bucket seems a little crazy with little orange ball thingies... what are those called? I got a bucket with 8 inch pot lids. im gonna fill with those.

In the bottom of my bucket is a 5 inch flood/drain so there is always 5 inchs of water so the hydro guy said, incase of a power outage or something.

NOw here is where im stuck. Where do i put my feed lines. In the bottom of the bucket? Let the water flow i have the LARGE airstone with airpump that goes in bottom of the bucket. DOes that bubble up enough water to mist the roots? or should my feed line be more towards the top kinda streaming on my roots? on timers of course. And if so should i have 2 feed lines on each side for good coverage. This is what boggles me about hydro LOL....

In soil shit buffers itself out. Feed it, ph 5 1 day , 7 the next, getting all its nutrients right! LOL.. HYDRO.. you gotta feed it to them directly to the roots LOL...


Now ive been reading Gardening indoors by george Van Patten:

he says in hydro roots can be 90 percent above ground meaning only 10 percent of hte roots need to be touching water or solution...??? and in soil that its 50/50 that roots can be above ground...


so in that sense i can understand how this bucket system may actually work. But still question the feed line where it goes.




also i was thinking about using corrugated hosing for my connections but after seeing your pvc piping. i think i like that idea better! Only thing i dont like is the glue factor. But i think im gonna use the pvc idea!


You have awesome threads and more than easy to understand....


what was your verdict on the freedom buckets? LOL after reading this i gave up on those ideas... but gave me some more.... god i love learning..


ok end of my rant!

aho bonz! nice to see some activity on your side dood and it looks like to be a fun run...........golden skush seed run sounds like a pretty good party.......as far as the choosing of males and whether or not multiple pollen should be used......well i'm not a breeder but the little i have learned along the way is this.....

the males that show themselves the quickest are usually not prefered for their pollen.

the males with the biggest balls so to speak might indicate bud formation so if they're monsters they may pass that on in their genetic code.....so look for some monster nuts!

personally if i was you i would take a variety of different approaches if i could do so..........meaning that i would try and identify the male with the most vigor and best structure and use that by itself in combination with another male that shows vigor as well buy might be a different pheno etc......

variety is evolutions benchmark, so why not try everything ya can......

well: i'm not a breeder so i'm sure there are going to be many more a folk that can guide ya along the way but i just wanted to chip me 2cents in there....

looking forward to this one dood.....take care hommie
