midwest growers unite

[Sweetbush]

Whats up MW! Glad to have found a thread with people from around my area...from what I've read a few of you are from the same place, Michigan representin the D.

I've been lurkin around here for a few months ever since doc chronics forums went down, tryin to learn to grow the right way. Over the years I've done a few outdoor grows with bag seed but I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to real growin. I'm on about my 4th indoor grow and its all been the same strain...white widow! I love it but I hope to maybe try out somethin new after this run, not sure what exactly, theres so much out there its hard to choose!

I'm workin on taking some pics and actually I have a few but they really suck...I have a pretty crappy kodak easy share and my picture takin skills seem to be lacking, plus the fact I'm only 14days into flower so there isnt really a whole lot to see. Picture quality is a bit embarassing but if there any interest I'll post em...just be gentle lol.

Anyway glad to have found this thread and hope maybe down the line I can be a part of MURDA when I hone my skills a bit more

Take care
SB

packed them in thats more than 4 per sf still need to hook up 2more lights and another 4x8 table i need to clean more still and am waiting for clones to root

hey everyone, sorry for the disappearing act again, been having problems on the homefront and lost internet, as well as computer due to power surge and hoping to resolve the rest of my issues soon. i even lost one of my 1000w hps balasts, but luckily had a spare! just harvested my hawaiian haze, but since im not on my comp, havent felt safe to take pictures. hope to be back on the scene soon.

Dr. G: damn, how do you hide all that power usage my friend? if i had that much going, my bill would be like 600 a month!

 

[toastfighter2]

Hey phil or justa, I was looking over thehawkeye and saw a lot of interesting strains. Do either of you guys have any recommendations as a good strain to start out with(preferably one with the smaller caps, like the ones from oregon)

Dontstep: Nice setup. I have the same type of carbon filter, and they are HEAVY.

Philcuisine: Looks like you're having a nice, relaxed summer. I owe you a trip report.

Dr. G: IMPRESSIVE setup! I got tired just looking at it. You running Botanicare nutes or General Hydroponics?

Welcome to all the new midwest icmaggers! Please feel free to post pics of your ladies, I'm always interested to see how my neighbors are doing it...

Update:

NYCD clone, vegging (barely) under flouros.

This clone was initially rooted in an Oasis Rootcube under a humidome, then put in a netcup and into the bubble tub. There's an EZ cloner neoprene collar around the stem, to hold it in place and also to prevent light leaks.

Flo and NYCD clones vegging under an MH on one side of the closet.

SDOG's and a Flo clone (the smaller one) vegging under an HPS on the other side of the closet.

There was a week or two of transplant shock (I hope to solve that in the future) but now they're growing well, especially the SDOGs.

 

[dontstepongrass]

i KNEW those leaves looked familiar! haha

ur gonna love the sdog

2 phenos to watch for sd dom which will b lemony candy fuel taste and fuel/garbage/burnt rubber smells. the og pheno is more candy smelling with strong menthol on smell/taste.

also, i got an sdog pheno that clones like a CHAMP.

enjoy.

Dontstep: Thanks for the kind words and the advice, I'm excited about what kind of pheno's I'll find. So far they're growing pretty uniformly...

PC: Wow, u were growing bogglegum 5 years ago. Gypsey and BOG posted on your thread too. U were truly one of the first on here...

MURDA: http://www.nudes-a-poppin.com/nap-2009.htm
This peaks my interest, to say the least...

Update:

This is a cloning gel some guy threw in when I bought an MH from him a couple years ago. First time using it, hope it works better than the Schultz rooting powder, which never really made a difference IME...

Using up my last rockwool cubes and peat pellets. I might have more peat pellets around somewhere, just can't find them (ever notice how stuff just seems to get LOST in your growroom ). Also threw in some Oasis Rootcubes since i have a ton of them. I've cloned successfully with all three, just my percentage sucks, which I think is attributable to too high humidity. We'll see; I'll crack the humidome earlier than I usually do, give them some more ventilation, see if that helps with the propagation rate...

A variety of SDOG cuts. I already have clones of SDOG #3 and #5, just need ones of #1, #2 and #4...

 

[jonnybgood29]

hey baba..... the roottech works great, will create more roots than anything ive tried, but i see your using a bubbler? ever tried no compound in it. ive found they root faster i a bubbler if you use nothing.

also its funny you mention shultzes. it has a great use as a seed dusting to reduce germination time and also creates stronger plants!

 

[dontstepongrass]

i use schultz religiously
