what got me into growing honestly. . . it was the street dangers/prices, the curiosity, my first session (involved and observed), the health aspects and ofcourse the almighty poitical aspect of the entire counter culture.

(this is where the weed starts talkin)i really think im reincarnated budhhist monk that was expelled for creating a forbidden fighitng art sort of like drunken fist but it involved weed instead of liquor, but teh weed made you so focused that i ended up being more powerful than any other of their pwerful techniques, so i got banned/casted out for wanting to teach other monks, took on two pupils and died up in the mountains while smoking and meditating about what the future holds and died willing to be reborn knowign that one day i will see the cannabis plant that helped me to create that art be legalized and eventually seeing others obtain their full potential and true power from within to make the world a better place

nah threre will be no flipping of those, i wanna grow those out and have them ready for cloning when i get that larger flowering closet built. you think maybe i should scrog them or something for clones? as far as canada goes, yeah sad to say, but its only in my mid

lookin good holmes.
play on playa

thank you sir thank you indeed

HEHE hazy he is in Canada in his mind . I am in canada in my mind but only in the summer when it is hot as hell here in cali.

cali sounds like a cool place too.

and jsut to let you guys know, i have a cloning tutorial of my own to show, , will get it up in a few

 

[chubbynugs]

Yeah cali is pretty cool. Just expensive as hell to live out here. I guess the other plus is getting your medical license to grow but seems like half the peeps who got one are scared of growing for some reason or other. Cant wait to see how you do your cuts. everyone seems to have their own technique.

 

[greendream69]

nice grow frankenblunt btw i diseal is amazing, 1 crazy hie.

 

[hazy]

good one.
so, you're in canada, not you are?
eh?
oh, only in your mind eh?
take off to the great white north.
i did'nt think i'd indeed have a friendindeed in canada.

right on.

i dig what you're saying on the nycd and getting clones. i have 9 nycd f2s going and have taken cuts off of 6 of them so far.
after they are growing ok, i'll probably flip the original plants, and veg the clones until they finish flowering and i can see which one is best to keep for a mom.
this part's new to me so i'm trying to figure out how to go about this mom search thing. in fact i'm just starting to get where i can clone half ass.

hey bud, swing on by my thread sometime. i'll get new pics up if they fix the upload thing.

yessir i shurly will swing by man, i need tips just like the next guy, and i aint too proud to ask either!!! now honestly i want to make my pilgrimage to AMSTERDAM in teh near future, but at no point in time would i ever belittle canada bro!!! if anything i want to come up there and experience canada for myself. when i was younger my mom had a cousin up there that she used to visit. really great friggin guy, wife was/still is an a$$hole but he was tops. just when i started to really look for places to get bud and even seeds i thought of him, but then remembered he had passed away. i could have really chilled out at his place, but oh well, i just gotta get up the dough and come through, i wanna get my network started of people i can grow/ smoke/toke/chill with world wide!!!! NY/NJ/PA are too small for my canna ambitions!!!!!

so far i have "tried" to grow twice b4. the first time was a northern lights that i was commissioned by a friend to grow out. it was in the court yard of a manhattan building that had no real light, so needless to say it was my greatest fight. made true noob mistakes there from start to finish, heres a run down:
the first grow I/the:
1. plant broke in half on transport
2 didn't think to clone the broken branch, and if i remember correctly i could have gotten at least 12 good clones from it.
3. didn't think to maybe repot it since it was outside soil and i didn't know what soil type they had it in
4. the spider mite wars began, and i almost lost!!
5. got so pissed at the spidermites, thinking i got rid of them, i noticed that they still had some refuges on the drying buds, decided to spray the drying buds (neem or course)
6.got bud rot due to spraying, lost a third of what i grew.
7. read somewhere on a thread over at overgrow (god bless the dead, (((makes sign of the cross))) ) that i could dry them in the fridge, you know kinda like when veggies and fruits stay in there too long and they kinda dry out?
8. smoked about a half an oz. and got nothing, i mean nothing, literally, no high, nothing.
9. didn't give it back to the person that gave it to me, i gave it to the her cousin (very good friend of mine), who said he would give it to her as she was going to come over that day (a month after i gave it to him , i stopped by to say hello, and he tells me he made at least 700 off of what i gave him, so needless to say , none of it made it to the cousin, but he gave her some of the money and they bought better weed.
10. asked him how in the hell he made so much money off of it, after much talk of how the people that he sold it too loved it cause it was fresh, and how he smoked it, and found nothing wrong with it, ; it was only then that i realized the he had kept the entire 7 ounces in a jar (under his nice warm dark bed; hence he cured it, without even noticing it)

2nd grow was some bag seed of what seemed to be a sativa, they grew past the lights, and once again not knowing about fim'ing, toping or anything like that, i chucked them and i think the pistils were just starting to brown (now mind you, this was back in the day, b4 people started spreading the word about looking at the trichomes instead of the pistils)

after that, tried making different system (hydroponic) ended up trying to figure out what was the best hydroponic system i could use, then got hit with the DIY bug so the story goes:
1. stopped production on the airoponic system since the pump was too much $ and too loud.
2. could have cornered the market on foggers but didn't believe in it enough (c'mon it was a humidifier for gods sake, you use it for colds and shit!)
3. designed a smaller version 2gl bucket version of a hellacious grow i saw where someone had , 45 x 5gl buckets, with sprayers all filled with hydroton, on a table. once i got to the store and realized what hydroton was, i had no car to cart that crap back to the house with so that was a no go.
4. and my DWC project. . . lets just say. . . oh about roughly 30+ gallons of water ended up downstairs and the floorboards,joists, sheetrock, insulation and rug were taxed. and i built a 4x5x7 hydrohut type set up (1" pvc and black 3ml plastic) in my 9x10x8 room. oh yeah i know your eyebrows are raised so needless to say that i was on a mission in them days.

but i will tell you what, i have been a student of cannabis for the past 6 years,and have never stopped lovin the sacred herb, there are certain first time experiences i have had that the damned govt't couldn't force me to forget!!!lol

yessir thats my geneology report so far, i can say i am in a better state of zen now and my grows are going just fine, my awareness/knowledge has increased and i will have my own cannabis if it kills me!!!!!!! besides the contacts that i have made along the way are phenomenal to say the least. all i can say is jah blesses for sure!!

damn sounds like youve had some adventures!
good old days, good to look back and smile huh?
glad your current grow is going good!
hope u get alot of girls!

 

[NorCalNiceGuy]

Looking good bro< cant wait to c the end result..

nice guy

oh yeah, everytime i think about all that nonsense i went through, i laugh, and then (if the lights are on) i go look into my closet and "hang" with my babies for a lil while, but just ot show you how the past cna haunt you. . . . teh plastic i used to make this make-shift veg closet came from the "great DWC flood" of so many moons ago!! lmao

Looking good bro< cant wait to c the end result..

nice guy

hell man, i cant wait either. i had planned to let them grow out a bit.keep them as moms, take some cuts from them to fill out the flower closet after the SSH are done.

thanks for stoppping by guys, they are bushy as all hell and coming along nicely. i jsut put some water to bubble since watering time is coming up. i would ve liked to keep up with the pic regimine with this grow but you guys have seen bushy plants b4? its the flowering that the real magic takes place at!!!

inlight of that thought, i may just take some cuts once they get a lil bigger and try to do another ten plants instead of the three or four i was gonna do. i was thinking i have the SSH to keep me company while they fill out, but hell why waste all that grow space right!! well heres a pic any damned way...
now i think ill go watch weeds on demand and meditate on things to come, i do have a bigger flowering closet to build ya know! cant decide whether i should use 2' framing nails or 1-1/4'; brad nails. i think the framing nails would hold better, but i am still researching it, gotta make shure its done right!!

 

[MynameStitch]

Damn, they are looking happy and very healthy, I have seen some very bushy plants some that look like they were growing in a KFB setup.

 

[FRIENDinDEED]

these plants are so outta control its rediculous!!! bushy bushy bushy as all sin. i am gonna check em and take some clones to get them ready to flower. cant wait to see how big these NYCD get!!!and i wont be ale to smoke all of my SSH b4 they are ready to be harvested, that much i know.

i love to cook with cannabis but damn i aint that greedy!!!lol

see you soon
**********************************************************
so i jsut came form feeding the ladies (i hope) and tha bastard i dont trust and they are lookin real good and bushy, they are definitely ready to be cloned but i want to wait until they reach the lights. they have about 8more inches to go and then i can get to choppin fer clones; that equates to about 2-3weeks tops, so thats not a problem. righ tnow they are lookin like they are about 20+ inches, and that in 1gal grow bags, can you imagine if i were to put them into the three gal bags?!?!? OMG that grow woudl carry me through the year!!!lmao

i tried topping "that bastard i dont trust" and that didnt go well at all. most i can say is thank goodness for RR plugs !! lmao i really wish i knew whether they wer females or not, then i wouldnt have to waste any time waiting to see. but as a grower i am patient and it wont be long.

will take some pics tomorrow

WHat lighting are your plants on right now? This is under constant controversal, but I have noticed that when for the first 2 weeks of the plants life from seed I use 24 hours light/ I then change it to 20/4 for another week and the last week or 2 I switch over to 18/6 and then after that .. .12/12 I do this, because I found the strains I worked with they showed sex about the 2nd week of 20/4 and if not most defiantly the first week of 18/6

so by 3 to 4 weeks old they show sex; I do this, because I try to mimic the outdoors as much as possible and by changing the lighting cycles like it would when season changes.... I think it really honestly does help the plant force sex quicker when the lighting is changed or weaned down.

They always start to show sex around the 3rd or 4th node..... and its going to be shown on the main stem where the branches branch out; always shows sex on the lower part of the plant first and works it's way up.... also look for alternating nodes; most of the time when they alternate they will have shown sex; if you got a microscope with a light you can put it in the area where they show sex and you can see way quicker if it's male or female, a good 20 or 30x microscope about 10 15 bucks will do the job. females look like pear shaped under the microscope and the males look like a ball with fingers or they look like the playboy bunny logo, but with the ears curling more to the left and shaped into more of a circle......


THis is a crappy drawing; but this is what they look like when you use a microscope, female preflowers look like a pear or a tear drop, may or maynot have tiny pistils showing, sometimes they do, but you can't see them with the naked eye; which makes this microscope very handy, that way you do not have to waste your time with males you can know them way before they show the sex with the naked eye.... when you use that microscope.

When you see what they look like under there you will know what I am talking about, and then you can spot them quickly and known when and what is male an female and you can chop males early before they show the sex with the naked eye. Once you do this and get used to it; you can know very quickly what is what......

well i will have more than enough opportunity to use those lighting regimes with these NYCD clones, i know wha tyour saying does make sense, and yes as growers we are dong our best to try and mimic those outside conditions the best we can.

man i just picked up the radioshack microscope the other day, with that thing i can see the trichomes heart beats!!! lol but i have heard of these tell tale signs of sex before, i shall make a greater effort to checkl for them with this round of plants.

but send me that drawing stitch, i can definitely use it for the archives/ referance!! OH AND BTW, did i tell you i finally got the hygrometer/thermometer doohicky? well i cant say i am too proud of the readings: IN-42.8F/OUT-42.3F/RH-46%. I ended up putting the probe near the rootzone and had the circulation fan blowing on it, i didnt think that, that was good idea so i turned the fan off and let the teh meter do its thing without influence.

i dont know if you got my message, but where do you think i should put that probe man to get the best readings?

 

[MynameStitch]

Lets see if it works now......

You want to put the probe on top of the canopy if you can; you want to know the caopy temps and put the other one in the grow room where it is not under the light so you can get accurate temps.....

 

[FRIENDinDEED]

damn stitch thats gonna be a problem since its only one probe, although im gonna changeit, and put it at the inside top of my cab, but i am more interested in the temp on the inside than the out side and of course the humidity.

 

[MynameStitch]

Well you can alternate with them..... you mainly want to know the canopy temps with HID's like HPS and such......

Just in case it's too close....
So you can use it for temps now and worry about the canopy temps later
