Idoreally: Yeah, I want to get my cloning technique down to where I can reliably get a 90% success rate. More on that later...
PC: Which auction did you see those prices at? I looked at seedbay and they have a 4/20 fundraiser auction but I didnt see anything bid that high...
Dontstep: Jeebus, 18 grams!
Did you run 200 grams and get a 10% return? Was it all frosty trim or were there some popcorn buds in there also? If I ever get a surplus of bud, I'd like to use my extra to make hash...
I never used my mesh screen, I just dumped it on some cardboard. I like the look of your hash so I might try your technique next time...
157: Is Flint the strain named after the city in Michigan?
Two out of ten peat pucks showed roots in about 9 days. Still waiting on the others, but I have high hopes. When I got the peat pucks going right (that is, when I dont kill them right away lol) I usually get a good 80% success rate...

What's up everyone? I hope everyone is doing well.
I've got my lone sdog here on day 15 or 16 of 12/12. Starting to see some nice bud formation, not much of a discernible aroma at the moment. When I put my face in the plant I can't smell anything really, nothing at all. But, when I first get home from work or whatever and go to the room with the box, all I can smell is dank. Bomb ass hash smell, but nothing by the time my nose hits the leaves/buds.

Phil: Yeah, but $1500 canadian, that's like $100 US, right?
Just kidding. It's more of a 1:1 ratio, last time I checked.
Yeah, those are some incredible prices. And the claims they make about thc % (34%, 37%) and yield (1700g per sq meter, which is like 3+ pounds) seem outrageous.
Who wants to bet your seeds are just as good? Better, because they're free.
Lost: The sdog is looking good. I know what you mean about smelling it when you first walk in but not so much when you get close. I guess our noses quickly get acclimated to the smell. That's dangerous if you ever have guests over. Good thing I never have guests over...
Pic of a nycd bud in a tub that wasnt hit by phosphoload. They're under an MH which is why they dont look so yellow.
Pic of a nycd tub in the phospholoaded tub. I think phosphoload makes buds look not as pretty. Or maybe its because of the hps....

waddup baba nycd look nice,,,
ok posted this thread in the growers forum but thought i would stick the same question in here for those who lurk here and don't really check out the other threads,,,have a great day midwesters's
btw get those plots found get some holes dug and get those beans started it's about that time the outdoor season is creeping up on us,,,peace
Okay all here's the sitation. I am going to get a new light just not sure what to get.
my room sizes my flower room is 3x5x7 1/2 the veg is 3x4x6
lights now in flower room 430 watt hps in veg 6 regular flouro tubes shoplights) , lights in veg run 24 hours a day
my dilemma is this do i get another 430 hps for the flowerroom and keep the flouros
do i get a 600 watt hps and run the 600 with the 430 and keep the flouros ( this is what i am leaning toward)
or get a 1000 watter and put the 430 in the veg room and get a mh bulb for it
keep in mind electicity costs and all that not just that will get more yield, efficiency is a factor
well thanks all in advance,,,,peace

get the 100w idoreallytry for the fact that anything under than that is insufficient to really reach the total length of your flower room, and even though i have heard otherwise, get the enhanced spectrum hps.... i use sunmaster bulbs and you see my plants in a 4x4 1/2x7 1/2 room!

thx bro i was really liking the idea of the 400 in the veg room, but the electric cost is the thing i am worried about i could go to a 20/4 light in veg or 18/6 bt i like the 24/0 becuz it allows less stretch in my experience,,,this last grow i vegged under the 430 at 18/6 and i thoght there was a whole lot of stretch,,,maybe i should buy the halide bulb for veg,,,the 600 and the 430 offer more lumens for the flowerroom space,,the duel 400's would be cheaper easier too cool, cheaper electric bill,,on an average how much does it cost to run your 1000 watter a month? i have never paid attention but i doubt it is more than 20 dollars a month now for what i have flouros and the 400 watter,,,decisions decisions,,,thx bro peace
I would say go for the 600watt for flowering and use the existing 400w for veg.
The 600w puts out like 90,000 lumens, about twice as much as the 400w (45K lumens) for only 50% more power usage. I think 600watts are even more efficient than 1000w.
If you're worried about electricity costs, go with the 600w.
Plus your space might be just a tad on the small size for a 1000w, although you'd definitely have even denser buds if you went with the 1k...
Disclaimer: this is coming from a guy who's never owned anything but 400watters, but I like to consider myself well-read on the subject...

Here are a few pics. of the grow at day 42, plus a pic of my cat just waiting for me to walk away so he can chow on the leaves. I went away for 8 days and used a self-watering system from Blumat. I added a little bit of nutes to the container, but added too much beastie bloom as the buds now have foxtails, which I hate. Oh well it could have been worse as the plants could have dried up and died. I have to say it again, but I’m really impressed by the nirvana super girls. One of my WW is still a little hurt and behind the others, but she will come through in the end. I will let them go another 2 weeks, maybe 3 due to the fact that I have way too much other weed to smoke right now.

Dontstep: Those SDOG parents look perfect. Not even a hint of nute burn or deficiencies (unlike mine
)
How do you keep your males? They're not in the same flowering chamber with the girls, are they? Are you going to collect the pollen and brush it on later?
Greengold: Very nice looking colas there! So the Blumat's working out for you well, huh? Eight days gone and still going, guess you can't get much more self sufficient than that...
That cat loves leaves, huh? Guess it's a good way to get rid of some of your trim trash. Wonder if he gets high if he eats enough leaves?

interesting move for the bears... great spark to their franchise, but who are his weapons? hester is somewhat lacking in the WR dept., but we all know he's the human joystick reincarnate. berrian is gone to us, THE VIKES. the D is not what it used to be there and all the good picks are gone. if they don't draft someone good for D in second round, things could get worse. hopefully the trade don't bite them in the ass. forte is good, but i don't like his running style.
once we (the vikes) get our QB sitch on lockdown, then i see no contention for the division. who won the division last year with somewhat flaky QB's? with orton, the bears could have got him some targets, D, and additional O-line.

THANKS baba! those are my first perfect looking sdogs, but there have been a few since...hehe
i take cuts of EVERYTHING! so, once i sex a cut i have clones ready that i now know the sex of. males are kept in veg right next to veggin ladies... when i wanna flower a male, i have a isolation chamber with 2 - 42w cfl's in it. the plan is to put a girl in the booth next to him, and use him as a weapon on her (whip it, whip it good...) then kill him, then after a few hours of her chillin and i can see pistils dying off i give her a quick dunk in some water and back in the tent she goes...
