timtim amazing grow. i spent the last hour looking in this thread and saving pics. i have one problem....the name should be my forest of goodies.LoL any chance i can get some seeds gj on the grows.
Hey WARDONE and phrack3r,
Thanks for stopping by and posting. I'm glad you like my garden.
Unfortunatly she is no more.......... and I didn't even have time to get pics for my last update. I've been hella busy moving, and getting the new garden up and running. The plants didn't take too kindly to the trip, and nearly croaked it on me......a little bit of tlc was all it took to revive 'em tho. I'll prolly start a new thread soon when I finish sorting everything out.
The HDF was a treat to harvest........out of 2 3'x3' trays planted @ 16/tray I got 4lb, 8oz. and with the 15 extras I had I got 13oz, so it was a happy harvest.
wow moving growing places that had to be a pain in the ass lolbut atleast they are still alive anyway.... do you have a tip or two for a new grower by any chance thnx
That's really a nice clean grow, well organized and documented as someone previosly stated. The yield is really pretty amazing! Can you tell me how you dry your buds?
Love the HDF pics man...
What is does the Love Potion smoke like? Taste etc...
Hey phrack3r, hmmm.....a tip you say?? Well the best piece of advice I can offer too a newbie would be- Keep it simple- Use coco or another soilless mix, they tend to be more forgiving, and water run-to-waste, it's easier to get your nute mix right. Wishing you a successful grow bro
Hi Mampi, thanks for stopping by dude, glad you like. To answer your questions, I dry my buds upsidedown on a.......hang on, a pic'll explain this one better.....
After taking off all of the fan leaves, they hang like this for 7-10 days (20-25c 40-60% humidity), then are trimmed up and cured in mason jars, like this.......
It takes a while to do things this way with so much, but I take pride in my finished product.
And the Love Potion........Well there are two disinct phenos in the Love Potion. They have been dubbed "the root-beer pheno" and "the lemon pheno".
The Root-beer pheno sucked ass IMO, but the Lemon pheno is delightful.
The one that I've kept reaks of some sort of Lemon scented cleaning product, and tastes more like lemon-grass. It leaves you dazed & confused, but still energetic. It makes a good day-time smoke, provided nothing that requires too much thought is on the cards.
THere ya go bro, that aswers all of your question, I think. If you wanna know anything else, just lemme know.
thanx for a killer thread I loved reading it. plus all the pics were great. Igrow in soil but i think i'll have to try this soiless sorry about the spelling.
Damn! your thorough, cheers for the step by step... I appreciate it........ Would've thought it would've been easier to pull the fan leaves off pre hanging upside down though..... I used to do that and with real sticky strains like the ones you grow the fans had a tendancy to stick to the buds. When brittle this became a headache, but I see you finished product looks superb! so hey....
Ta for answering the Q's, and don't worry I am sure I got more for you yet
timmy! timmy timmy!! lol...everytime I see your nic and avatar..i cant help but laugh at our 'special friend' from south park. timmy! lol anyway...hope the move went well, with no hicups, cant wait to see the new garden
Hey Mampi,yeah, thats what I meant- the big fan leaves come off straight away.
I just had a look and I didn't word it the best, sorry dude.
Hey Sunny, my friend, always a pleasure. Glad I can give you a chuckle and brighten your day. The move went not real well. I nearly killed all my girls, but have managed to revive 'em. It was my fault, I didn't flush 'em before the move and burned the shit outta 'em. But you liv and learn I guess. Things are getting back on track now. I'm gonna clone all my plants tonight then whack 'em all into flower in the next couple of days. I just haven't started a thread yet, cos I don't like showing anything less than perfect, and they way my rooms look at the moment, it certainly doesn't meet my criteria. Oh, I should mention that there were a couple of casualties in the move, 3 or 4 of my new TRC seedlings. Anyway I promise to start a new thread soon, picture perfect or not.
Hey TeamRez,
Thanks for the compliment, coming from you, that means alot.
I've finally got my Strawberry Diesel, Sour Diesel V3, Mother's Finest and Flo in flower, and the rooms are pretty much done. Thread to follow.
Hi timtim, sounds like you have a good selection of strains to be puffin on for a while there. I have the Sour Diesel and it's a treat....very nice strain that, I've tried the mothers finest bud from De Dampkring in the dam and didn't really like it,maybe it was the pheno maybe not lol.... Hope you find something nice in there...
hey timtim - just went through this whole thread mate and I was thoroughly impressed. Loved the HDF pheno you found. The love potion looks amazing too. Massive props on your setup and dedication and love of your plants. I hope your new house will be even better.
Hey ezra,
Thanks for taking the time to read my thread dude, and thanks for the compliments.
The new rooms ran really well. Just had to shut 'em down temporarily due to a security breach, alls well now though, and the "Testing Ground" is being set back up as we speak. So soon I'll be back in the Bud Porn business!!
And with LOTS of new stuff to show y'all.
right on man, thats the spirit. Just going through your other thread now, on page3 at the moment. Its getting really interesting. glad to hear all is well again for you, keep up the great work, looking forward to your updates.
damn timtim your house is like a wet dream for me.. 1 bdrm apt here... not alot to go with.. i just cant help but wonder how much you smoke a day??? you have SOOO many plants... it makes my eyes bulge out of the sockets like wyle-e-cyote !!! your an amazing farmer..
maybe i missed somthing, but you dont grow in hydro?? just dirt in flood-tables??
Hey ZEROKOOL,
Thanks for stopping by mate, glad you like.
Nah, I don't smoke that much, well not anymore anyway. But I have a rather large extented family that do.......
Oh, and on the medium question, one word dude.....COCO!
