We had a nice easy rain the last couple of days and the girls sure seemed to like it, they just know the differance in rain water and water from home.

2 inches of rain dropped my way and the sun is coming out it looks like supposed to get up in the 90s this weekend which should make time to play in the dirt hopefully and cut out some more weeds and stuff thats blocking the sun from my plants :)

since ive been talking about it, guess its time to show it :D


Closet - full look of it ( deiciding if i should finish drywalling or jus put up mylar)

Floor - big enough for a few plants ;)

Closet

Heating/Cooling Vents

Heating/Cooling Vents - where i can cut into them and push in cold air to cool my closet if need be :)

Ceiling - left it open so i can hang the light, run the ducts ect later on :)


Yep did it all myself and now its just considering finishing the drywall and ect or no :)

I'd love to try outdoor growing but i have nowhere to plant and i don't want the risk of losing all my hard work whenever im not watching

definately dont just put up mylar, your fans will suck it off the wall (i dunno how you'd attach it, u could do it as long the mylar is attached in a way to evenely distribute the pull from the fans)

Do the drywall. . . you wont regret it, and if you want to modify itll be much less work. And mylar, wont seal the light properly because of the ventilation. . .

Also, mylar for walls is sketchy =P

be safe

lots of love

I don't know about the rest of you, but its been a hot bastard around here lately. Luckily we've been getting a little rain here and there so I haven't been having to hike water out in this heat. Here's what my outdoor project is looking like as of this evening. One female for sure, the other is still undecided. Everything else has died... The plants in my least favorite plot are the only ones that I'm counting on to make it till harvest :fsu:
4.5 feet tall and looking to have some real potential.

How late can I put clones out and still have them finish? They're NL#5, about 8" right now.

The rains have had great timing so far this year and the garden is getting LUSH!
 
nomoreschwag, get those 8" clones in the ground, keep the deer from eating them and the bugs and you will be surprised how much you can harvest from them, also they wont be spoted by rippers and LEO as easy when they stay shorter.

Maistre, those are some nice girls!!

Pure, I would do the drywall also, I don't even use mylar in my grow room anymore , just paint the walls a non gloss white with outdoor paint, I cant realy tell a difference in the way my plants grow and mylar is a pita for many reasons. Even if you do use mylar you still should do the drywall IMHO. Looks like you will have a nice large grow area, what size lights are you going with?

Nickel ill be using a Hydrofarm 1000 watt Hortilux HPS in the room over top of between 9 and 40 plants

i can fit i think 9 5 gallon buckets in there easily in the space and the numbers go up as you decrease the gallons, but im also thinking of getting a bunch of square trash cans that are 5 gallons and i could easily fit gee a lot more then the buckets :), think 2 trashcans = 1 bucket so like 18 then

i dont kno im still waiting on the hps and stuff and need to decide on what to do with the actual walls :)
 
I guess you decided to go big or stay at home, you should do very good starting with a 1000W, I just have a 400W and it does pretty well. I only have a 4' X 2' area and I have thought of putting 2, 400's in it but don't think I could control the heat.

Square pots are the way to go, I use 8 two gallon pots and grow scrog or sog. they fit much better being square.

Where are you getting the light from?

dam straight! go big or go home, well i wouldnt say go home as each of us has are part in the community and some of us have bigger balls then others and then there are people like me who just dont give a f**k :yoinks:

im getting the hps from ebay and its going to my safe addy which is 100 miles from me and has no relation to growing besides veggies inside and ect :) ( just incase they want to show up, all they find is veggies and various plants, which would be funny hehe )


oh yea also just want to say only reason im going inside is because i need to make up for what i lost this year outside and the only way to do that is to grow indoors ( dam weather killed 71 of my plants )

Temps are back in the high 90's this week, I'm going out to water the girls tonight and will update later. I hope all is well and there has been no critters messing with my girls. May have to bring out the big guns if they have.

hey whats up fellas? this hot drought like weather is a killer isn't it? i got some pics and updates for ya!

first off here's a dutch treat bud i harvested on july 6th



this pic is a dutch treat taken about a week ago and should be ready to take down anyday!




here is a few pics of my schnazzleberry #2 plants







 
The thermometer has been 98-102 for the past week... I ran out to my girls early this morning and gave them a good drink. My only two survivors have just started to flower and are both female :woohoo:
Forcast says 80's by the weekend, "upper 80's", but still better than the 102 the thermometer is showing while I type. I repotted the clones that I'm planning on putting out, so as soon as they take decent root in the new pots out they'll go. Looks like its time to flower around here anyway.

Time2Unite - Nice lookin plants. Is that one some kind of autoflower? I want buds already...

Maistre - Beautiful bushes you have there too.

i ordered a 10 pack of the dutch treat and got 6 females, 5 were autoflowering under 24 hours of light indoors, i was gonna throw them away thinking they wouldn't amount to anything but i put them outside anyway, came back a week later and they exploded, after another week or two they were already ready for harvest...the 1 that didn't autoflower is just starting to get buds now and i took clones off her, i was really surprised how thick the autoflower buds got, they are fruity and really potent too! shocked the shit out of me to tell you the truth, i wasn't expecting nothing and got an oz per plant of really good smoke....enough to hold me over until the later plants are done!!

Bushes are looking great Time2unite,Nomoreshwag, and Maistre.Wish i would have ordered some autoflowers for this summer, just about out of my ounce without anyone to buy from.

The closet is lookin good pure. Can't wait to see it overgrown with cannabis.

I went out to the creekplot yesterday, to water the 3 seedlings i transplanted around a week before, and the other 2 that are there. Unfortunately one was dug up even though there was a fence over it. They looked fine and could have made it without the extra water. Good thing because more of that group were in other places and aren't getting attention until august.

We've been getting 90 or above for a few days too and luckily we got a little rain this evening. Just about a half a tenth of an inch, but it was enough to make a hole made with my finger in the ground fill up with water.

Got my computer back today from bein fixed, and i'm in the process of loadin stuff on it. A few new pics from the creek plot will be up soon. As for the other plots, you'll have to wait until august.

Wonder how big my indian style plots are. They haven't been seen since May 3!

welcome back Pipeline!

Nice plants /bushes everyone else, the days are becoming shorter and the plants becoming fatter this is about the time they start to do flyovers and shit starts to hit the fan with rippers, cops and everything else so stay safe and stay green!!


Went outside last night around 12am as usual and walked to my plants and sat down on my log and smoked a fatty while just happily sitting at my plants on a nice summer night :), then i decided what the hell i should start to tie down all my plants and did so and will soon have pictures of them

Also put in a order for some 4mill mylar yesterday and should have it very soon :), im also thinking of bring in a few plants in buckets from outside to give them the veg they really need and see what they will do in my new closet with oh 30 or more days veg then flipped :)
