Growdate: Day 66..Flower: Day 22 12/12(Growdate from dry seed)
pontiac..I'm just playing with the RR's..so far I like um..the last 13 seeds before these were germed wet paper method..
after soaking in SuperThrive in water..great air/water ratio with these RR's..
The orb can pull you in..
Sleepy..no way..I love the orb
Trichome the snowman, has a vape that loves to glow...as he stepped into the fire pit...said it's an awesome way to go...
Well I've put on some Barry White, lowered the light..and AD3 & AD2 made sweet love..AD3 had it in him to do CW1 as well..
The money shot is on a few lower branches of each..
Fed um last night..A little GHBB BioGrow & PB org Bloom for fert.. Top Max, a full dose..a shot of Microblast..and GH Diamond Nectar...
I use GH DNectar almost every watering..I use it as a double edge sword..
after I mix everything else I use GH DNectar to adjust pH down instead of using pH Down..
the other edge..it's true purpose is to help the roots to absorb nutes using fulvic/humic acids (Natural buffering, chelating, and extremely high ion-exchange properties convert many mineral elements into forms easier for plants to absorb.)..
I never reach the recommended dosage..besides expense it's win-win for me..
MGJ..lol..you caught me..hehe..yep the BD seeds are fully open..one required surgery with toothpicks and water..a membrane got stuck around the cotyledons like taping an alligator jaw shut..all good now..
pontiac..couldn't leave my bro Sleepster hangin..had to finish the jingle..putting the flame to Trichome's abs for inspiration was all I needed..hehe
TML16..for some reason I knew you probably knew about those..yeah you describe the Inuit ones which I think means "like a man" the formation with legs and arms was popular with them..use as trail markers, scare crows, fishing spots, caribou..even to ward evil spirts..We used to just call the 3 rock ones "Ducks", I used to backpack and climb in Yosemite..
That's also where I did my most demanding bicycle tour..from Sea level to 6500ft over 100 mi in one day..the next day we rode back..200 miles in 2 days..coming out of the mountains, nicely baked, the hill that took 2 1/2 hrs to ascend into the park, took 15 minutes of downhill fun and terror..doing 60+mph on 1" tires on mountain roads, passing cars with my wheel-bearings just screaming, was an adventure of a lifetime..
As stated the two BD's are up..and it looks like 3 clones might make it..should be seeing roots any day now..tomorrow night is 7 days..
Was gonna DWC the BD's, but it won't work with my plan for veg..which will include the sun..if I get the 175w MH working again..
I could still possible do it..I'm on the fence right now..
Was gonna do an update..but last evening after 3hrs I realized my dog was not in the house..
Earlier I went outside to get a better cell signal..she must of came out with me..3 hrs later I'm chatting away and can smell a skunk..
I wonder if the dog does..OMG..where's the dog..she's very loyal so I knew she would be very close..
I found her walking towards me on the sidewalk..in a little distress..sneezing and hacking..
I could smell something bad on her and it was all down the side of her face..at that proximity I could no longer smell that it was skunk..
it really messes with your nose that close..well at the time I thought somebody maced her or threw something on her ..
I get her inside collect my things..then we head out the door to the animal ER..I walked in..rattle off that she was out and got into something..
he says.."ah that would be a skunk..please take her out front..I'll see what the Dr says"..
So I got a formula 1 gal H202 x 1cup baking soda x 4tsps dawn dish soap..so I got to wash the dog at 3:00 in the morning..
it worked pretty good I think I don't really know my nose is torched..all I can think now is my car is gonna be a bitch to get rid of the smell..
I'll get busted for a grow cause my house smells like skunk..or on the bright side it's one hell of a cover smell..
I felt kinda dumb rushing her in, thinking back, but I honestly couldn't tell when she got close what was on her it's powerful shit..
I would have gone with the old tomato juice route..they didn't charge me..just looked at her outside..
Glad about that..it costs $100 just for showing up after hrs..
So update postponed till tomorrow..
Sorry man, it really sucks, especially the first time. We have a lot of skunk around here, luckily my cats are very wary. Have gotten some good wiffs though, our front fence has been in the way of a spray a couple of times - you're right, up close it's a whole 'nother 'roma...
That's a great animal hospital if they saw her outside and no charge.
If the secret sauce they gave you worked the trick, save it. I've seen the results of tomato sauce and a few other cleaning combos, and they only worked when combined with a lot of TIME I even know someone who tried using WD40 - and why not, the stuff does almost everything else - the poor dog smelled liked a skunked machine shop....
I think you've stumbled on an effective odor control solution for the grow - setup a friendly well stocked skunk nest in the back yard... Once the nose receptors are truly innundated with eau de skunk, you won't notice a thing, and you'd be able to grow a smellarama inside unnoticed....
Hey man good to see you have been so busy, looking good as always.....what size lights are you using? im planning a new grow with 2 x 600w...big jump from the 400w im using now.
Keep an eye out for my new grow preperation thread, i'd love to get your input....i'll be sure to post a link.
Peace
pontiac..lol..I've been calling her that all morning..Pepe Le Pew..
Sleepy..she smells like a grow now..
MGJ..It is one of the top animal hospitals in the world..they said they get a lot this time of year..and that formula is what they use..
worked good too..I can smell it a little if I bury my nose in her fur where she got hit..I think it saved my area rug too..
GMT....She's had a big orange tom cat swat her in the face..my sister's cat jumped on her back and rode her across the yard, a full 8 seconds..
got porcupined in the face..attacked by a Shar Pei..I got bit too stopping that one..It was only a matter of time she would find a skunk..
I'm very relieved after the fact..I've had her for 13years..when I first wiped off some of the skunk spray with my hand..it smelled like industrial solvents..
not like a skunk in the distance..I was real scared it was something real bad..she was snarling and she doesn't snarl..
poor thing took some right up the nose..for a dog that has to be hell..
truecannabliss..400W Eye Hortilux HPS on a P L Lighting Deep reflector for flower..I could use a bigger light in this grow..
that room just eats heat for lunch..I just can't afford one right now..
let me know and I'll keep an eye out too...
Growdate: Day 69..Flower: Day 25 12/12(Growdate from dry seed)(pics taken 6-13-06) Sleepy..Thanks..she's fine now..she's not aggresive..I figure she was sniffing the skunks ass when it let go..only her face was tagged.. Agnes..Digital ballast? That is an old pic of the PL Lighting system..analog ballast..but it is very quiet..
Or were you talking pics..if so then thanx..
I took some pics last night trying yet another lighting method..the pics came out well lets say different..but I'lll post um anyway..
The AD's are in the middle of the grow..now on upside down pots to better match the canopy..
CW4 the single kola Cindy is on the right..took a kola shot too..you can see the ugly Cindy's a little on the left of AD2 which is middle front..
GMT has to hate this thread with all the big pics I lay out..sorry if my threads take longer to load..I hate to constantly click on pics..
I like presenting pics ready to see..I feel for ya dial-upers..but this is my style and I'm sticking to it..
Broadband makes the internet fun instead of frustrating..my
ADCW most..ugly CW5 on the left CW4 sk on the rt Day 25 flw 6-13-06
Its not the big pics that anoys me the mo on this thread, its seeing all those healthy plants, lol. On my thread waiting for pics to load time and time again, pics that I have already seen, and that dont show me anything new, is a bore, and when they aren't anything to be proud of at the mo, I dont really want to draw too much attention to them. Sorry if its a pain to click on them, but you can see them without clicking, and someone may get mites one day, do a search, find the magic recipe and be interested in the effects enough to click on em. That's really my main reasoning behind that. It also makes it easier for me to flick back through my own pages when checking on dates etc, as I use this place as a note book for my grows as my memory sucks. Certainly wasnt having a dig Pack.
ahhh man that sux about the skunk. I know that feeling and smell all to well. Last time my dog got sprayed, he got it in the face too. Both of us puked all the way home it was so strong.
AD2 is looking fabulicious.
If CW5 is your ugliest plant...you don't have much to worry about.
GMT..no digs taken..I hear ya..I remember dial-up..you're the only one I knew for sure is using it..that's the only reason I mentioned you..
Sometimes I'll use the smaller sizes pics too..but usually go full..I think the site will let me use 1024x768 pics now..but I'm keeping them at 800x600 (0.48MP)..
saves me file size and slow loading for others..I try to compress them so they load a little faster too..I was a dial-uper too..I know it can be frustrating at times..
and you have to do things to work with it..broadband opens up so many new gates..if you spend any amount of time online..It is worth the expense..
I'd give up the cell phone before my broadband..There are sites full of excellent indy movies..I get some in HiDef like quality..
Now I prefer Cable over DSL if it's available..DSL just cannot match the bandwidth of cable...soon high speed wireless will probably take over,
the beginning of that has already started..with the file sizes these days..ye old telephone modem is dying..
I've never seen anyone go back once they switched..
you can adjust your "posts per page" in options for quicker single page loads..I have mine on 40 post/page but you can adjust it down to 5 posts/page..
so the old pages stay behind you and don't load what you've already seen..
TML16..Yeah that dog has had a full life now..hehe..Thanx I like showing AD2 over and over so progress can be seen..
If I didn't care somewhat of pic quality..I would post a lot more pics..for every low light pic I take..
I have to deal with hand editing out about 20 noise pixels (looks like a colored star) each pic..
I have a noise filter..but it messes up the whole pic too much..
Two of the CW's look like they will do well..I still don't like CW2 or 5 much yet..CW4sk is coming around..
and topped CW1, also pollinated on lower branches by AD3, is doin OK as well..
I'm gonna try and step up the art factor on the next pics I take..we'll see if it works out..
