Macro lens.. yup! Doing the research right now... trying not to spend an arm and a leg. Any recommendations out there?
Titties: Fisher is doing just fine. He pops up round here every now and again... I'm sure he'll be back in force when he's got the time. These are busy days for serious growers.

looks like the 20D i have with a bigger screen. nice. Theres a member "doobieduck" that is the person to ask on what lens to get and I'm sure he could give you some tips too..his gallery is AAA
i think he's a GKG head. I'll probably see him at the cup in April.
Made a serious decision today. I am NOT going to be flowering early season in the GH... its going to be a serious veg scene for my black box and outdoor operations...
I have to admit to myself that I got too late a start on the Gh this year. Next year I will do it right and flower with natural light cycles in March and April.
Having just repotted most of the moms in 65 gallon smarties, I am not sure what the plan is... I'm going to sleep on it and take action in the morning. Sorry to all of you who expected the budporn to start flowing a lot earlier than it will. I am, however shooting for a very early black box that will come down at the end of June.

The ones in the 65's are the Mom's... they were already rootbound in their 10's before getting potted in the 65s the other day. I am really not overly concerned with them as I never had any intention of them being part of the may-june blackbox or the full season. I'd be willing to give them away to somebody who has room for them in a greenhouse. Here, they are just taking up space in my veg now...
The plants that WILL be part of my black boxes and full season gardens are currently in 2 gallon pots and, today, I'll start potting them up to 5's and 10's. The root health on the smaller plants is excellent. I am prepared to repot them again into 20's in a couple of weeks if needed.... I think this strategy will work out best for me. For the time being, I am just going to keep vegging the moms. I will keep them close to the hoop door of the GH so they can be removed easily if I need to.
Comb: not sure what I think in answer to your question.... I think its possible that the 65's would become rootbound during stretch once I started flowering them. Last year, I did not use those pots to their potential for the opposite reason... not enough veg time in the 65s... It would be nice to know what the median between those two paradigms would be for that size pot... 2 weeks?
Most important is the vegging of the clone army. I want em big and I want em healthy...
A friend just showed me some really inexpensive greenhouses... I might get one, stuff the mom's inside and start pulling tarp immediately. The thing would be crowded and I'd really just be going for a big sea of green at the top (these plants have been topped so many times as moms that there are hundreds of colas on each one)... I thing thats the best idea...
any thoughts.

Get em out side and going so you can get paid !!
haha, made me laugh bro
nomaad, what tarps are you using this year? My 'super silver sun blocker' tore in the typhoon last fall. If I go with another of those, under-tarp ventilation will be in order. Any info on forever flowering's tarps?
yeah... the FF breathable material is $2.12 per square foot. I'd need a $2K tarp for each of my boxes... not gonna happen.
I am thinking of using one layer of cheap black plastic and one layer of panda... assuming i can get panda in the right size... My "super sun blockers" cost $600 last year and are worthless for light dep this year... they never got put away right last year and are now a mess.

It would be really cool to be able to get two layers of 6mil black plastic and one layer of panda between them...somehow fused into one tarp...
I found some very interesting flanges last year that could be installed into the tarp to which a fan could be connected. i am not an indoor grower, but i am assuming that there exists non-reflective ducting that could be used for this... you wopuld probably want to connect and disconnect the ducting before/after pulling tarp... I will try to find the flanges again, but i feel like with some rubber and the proper adhesives, one could use the standard flanges I have seen in grow shops... cut a hole in your trap, put one flange on either side of the tarp... add a layer of rubber and lots of glue... bolt the two sides together... seems like it will do the trick...
just brainstorming here...

He did ask for thoughts...and that's what went through my crazy head!
Thanks... the Clueberry is just another blueberryxhaze like the Blue Dream. There are at least three different Blue Dreams that I know about and all of them are easy to grow, resistant to mold and cold, and yield well. The Clueberry finishes a full 7-10 days earlier than what I know as the official Blue Dream.
This leads me to think that either there have been multiple successful breeding projects with Blueberry and Haze that have produced the different Blue Dreams... OR perhaps there were multiple keeper pheno's of the original run... In either case, I think you should breed up another variant... the UK Dream.
I'd love to know more about the Blue Dream's origin. Only thing I have heard is Blueberry (but not WHAT bb) x Haze... one thing I read last year said that the Haze is Santa Cruz Secret Haze... whatever the hell that is... but I have never found a conclusive creation myth for the strain.

people pay to much for blue dream, it produces alot and i have not seen anything special from it as far as being unique but i have not grown it. although i will say casey jones produces massivly and i have the only great flowers ive seen so far (everything else was just in passing at collectives), so maybe i have yet to have a good bluedream.
with that said i agree with the wine thing nomaad said in another thread, i like uniqueness. and i wont pay more than 1500 for any outdoor, its to cheap to grow. but some peeps can do it so good you cant tell, (i did much better outdoors in socal better sun angles i was much denser). it irritates me to see 60 1/8s of mass producers next to 60 dollar eights of lighter producer that are better.
ive thought about greenhouse but i never wanted to produce that much in 15 years of growing i just like having the best like someone else said "i want to smoke some of that, when they walk into the room", but in this environment if it goes business ill join, ive got good grapes.
im stoned, hope to meet some of you at the warmup

They can take it no problem bro. i don't have the heater all the way hooked up and just put a couple 1500w space heaters out there for tonight. What fucks them up is when the dew is on the leaf and that freezes...luckily frost doesn't set in the GH and my propane will be here tomorrow at 930 AM..
i know... i was kidding. i put out some mite-infested plants in the middle of the winter... just tossed em outside... i was amazed at how long they lived through rain, sleet, snow and heavy frosts. resilient bitches. but they will sure be happier once warm and toasty.
No disrespect, and sry for disrupting the great thread, just these two sentences in the same post made me chuckle. I've lived in the triangle for over 10 years and the only thing I see is for 1500 is garbage that goes down south or back east. If you wanna see what the triangle is famous for, you have to pay 2500+, otherwise your getting someones garbage or some amateurs attempt.
On another note, "Most important is the vegging of the clone army. I want em big and I want em healthy..." QFT, my thoughts exactly. Wish this damn weather would clear so everyone can get back to work.
Gl to all,
Mr^^
