TeddyBud-- looking great bro.. keep up the great work... hope it taste like blueberry.. you tried out the Dabney Blue yet??

closest to that I've done was the sd x dabney which was more sd influenced..




this blueberry is wonderful... very very potent... not so much indica stone as a sativa one... but none the less I love it.. glad I took kuts of it..

"Flaming Kush" & "Black Nam 13"

can it be..finally its a damn female..its about time...5 yrs ago i knew the strain KUSH was gonna be a big hitter..so i bought a whole bunch of seed packs from Plural Of Kush 25 packs to be exact..I went thru more than half the packs and all I gots were males and hermies this is the 1st. female...years later i found out that POK wasn't even a breeder didnt know what he was doing breeding wise. well u live and learn..Hope this helps.

heres what my temp setup looks like right now.


tangerine haze on left, og kush middle, and catpiss on the right.

just lst'ed them a couple days ago. they are in 1 gallon containers with coco. roots are already shooting out of the bottom just 2 days after transplant...

is there anyway to salvage a hydro grow out of these plants like dwc? I was going to keep them as mothers but I have to get something flowering asap and it would be easier to veg them extra and screen them rather than wait on clones to root. I think the catpiss and og will share a light and screen while the t-haze will get her own 400watt.

never grew in coco just soil & water..

just got back from lowes...

must of spent about 2 hours in there

I got most of the stuff I need except for the 2x4's and tubing/connections for the ebb and flow tables I'm gonna build.

Hie, a couple q's...

when you built your tables what size connection and tubing did you use? I got a new 260 gph pump and it has the 1/2 ID tubing and also the adapter for using garden hose. what i want to do is flood 2 tables with the one pump and have one giant resevoir instead of two pumps and two resevoirs. I looked at some of the options I had. One was to use a garden hose Y but I wasn't sure how big the inner diameter was of the garden hose and how I would connect it to my tables. I saw in the electrical dept. they had 1/2" OD or 3/4" OD (1/2" ID) connectors. I wasn't able to find tubing that would let me hook up the pump to those connectors, something always didn't fit right. By that time I had been there long enough and didn't want to keep walking back and forth trying to figure it out. I don't know how people work there, I go crazy after an hour or so...haha

i used 1/2 barbs for inlet and 3/4 barb for drain .but if i had to do that again i would buy a fill and drain kit from a hydro store much less work . killa what i want to know is how you gonna drain both tables back into one rez?? i guess if you have both tables side by side you could do it by having both draining into one rez, but any way teh hose i used for the pump is 1/2 in ID flexible black tubing Lowes Item # 63082.... i drain right back in the rez.. just put a screen over it to keep out trash.. just get a Tee connection for tubing to connect both tables to the pump

Who says you cant just put the buckets in the tables with coco in them still.. my table i use Promix doesnt seem to hurt anything..i use 16oz cups i flood about half way up the cup.. i do get a little promix in teh rez but doesnt hurt a thing.. i only flood once a day and things look great.. Keep It Green and Stay Safe.. HE
be back with pics later

ok, well got back from lowes again today. picked up all the 2x3's I'll need to construct the frame. What I'm going to do is build a wall that will divide the room in half, and vent out the window vs. venting into the attic and having to cut into the ceiling. I am still debating how to arrange the lights.

My flowering space once constructed will be 10x6x8. The problem I'm having is deciding which way to setup the lighting and ventilation. If I stack the two lights in the corner near the window side by side to fully utilize the space and lighting, there will be a couple 90 degree bends in the ducting. Is that going to be a problem? Or should I go with the orientation in the sketchup? (except with the carbon filter at the end of the second light and the fan by the window. This would be easier to construct, but maybe not as efficient.

Help!

 

[hieagle420]

heres some pics of the flowering chamber..

the 90s in the duct work shouldnt effect it to much.. mostly depends on how big your fan is..

[killabrown420]

thanks, stick around and check out the pics once i finish my next space. it's going to be like 4x the space as that box

i just acquired 2 more 400 watt hps ballasts, and the old cool-tube setup as well. I'm thinking of just buying 2 more air-cooled hoods to have it all uniform and 6" ducting. the cool tube would need a 4" reducer. I have to order some ebb and flow kits so I might just order the reflectors at the same time. If I get everything up and running within the next month I should be able to have it staggered pretty well.

The plan so far is to veg out the og kush and use her as a mother for clones. I tried LST on her but she isn't responding well to the training. much more scraggly than the catpiss and thaze. those two I'm training to be monsters, each one getting their own 400 watt light. By the time the catpiss is done the OG clones will be ready and instead of a scrog with a single plant I'll use multiple clones to get the job done. After another month the thaze will finish and the next batch will go in. Month later the OG should be done...so on and so forth

construction begins monday!

 

[killabrown420]

hey guys, it's construction day I'm getting the room built and sealed today, which means tomorrow the girls will be under the 400 watt and vegging for another week or two before I can switch them to 12/12. I need to transplant soon though into 5 gallon buckets. I'm not going to grow these using the ebb and flow tables as they are already in coco and I still have to order parts for the tables.

The next batch is going to consist of clones from these 3 as well as seedlings which I just put in wet paper towels. I'm going to do 12 each of sd ibl, purple tar, and grape apeXdeep chunk.

Hie, whats the purple tar consist of? I know the tar is ptk, but is the purple the indica or purple kush?

Purple Indica.. Keep It Green and Stay Safe.. HE

 

[killabrown420]

Great...I really liked the little bit of the PI and the PIxSD that I was growing before i went away. It was nice and purple and sweet, strong. This cross and the grapexdeep chunk should give me some colorful buds this winter. check out the new room fellas!

it's getting there...
