The Barrel

[Grow Tech]

Hey Alpha. The Tube of green concept is basically what I have going for myself...using a 600w hps. It is where I got alot of my inspiration when I was designing Graehstones barrel.

Great idea. How much did the whole thing cost?

Hello there kindred spirits, my name is Graehstone on the net and I am a disabled Vet that lives in the SoCal area and I suffer from Degenerative Disc disease, Scheuermanns disease, Scoliosis, Migraines …

Hi, i was just wondering if you had found any strains that are good specifically for migranes? Im growing lifesaver for my caretakee, for emotional pain and hoping it will do something for the head pain too...

Hi, i was just wondering if you had found any strains that are good specifically for migranes?

So terribly sorry for responding to this so late, but I have found that for mine if I use heavy Indicas they seem to ... hmmm, not really take the pain away but rather make it to where you don't want to kill yourself, sort of like taking it and wrapping it in cotton candy till it subsides.
Romulan, Granddaddy Purple, Purple Erkle and Trainwreck have been some of the ones that have actually helped some.
It's hard to say as I rarely have access to anything "specific" when one of those badboys decides to rip my head open.

Hey there greahstone...

nice grow chamber you have there. I really like the simplicity of the idea. It looks as though you will have some personal medical cannabis in no time...

very nice friend...

Day 42
On the first picture you can see where the bud got a little too close to the floro bulb and burned a bit, fixed the problem by scooting the plant somewhat.

:wink:

Day 49

Slowly but surely getting there.

 

[alphacat]

Nice photography too. The backdrop really makes its colors stand out!

BTW, have you seen www.barrelofgreen.com yet?

 

[Grow Tech]

Very cool. Thanks for posting the link, I hadn't seen it. If I'm correct they're claiming 138g off of a 250 w hps
I might try to pull some of their concepts into what I'm working on.

Peace

Nice work there graehstone and GT. Looks like project worked out fine. The runs should just get better from here on out. Keep up the good work and dont be strangers eh... , by the way do you have finished pics of the flowers? and what strain was that again?

respect

jon

 

[Grow Tech]

Howdy Stinky!
The strain is Sweet Tooth#3 x C4.

I think Graehstone should have some updated pictures coming soon.

Hope all is good in your world!

 

[stinky]

nice garden graehstone, sweet lookin plants and great photography

grotech.. 138 gm. off a 250 hps aint very good at all...
i regularly do 90+ gm. off a 150 hps

i saw a thread somewhere where some guy in like eastern europe
did 170 gm. in a circular scrog with a 150hps

with a 250hps and a dialed in grow with a suitable strain..imho i think someone could reach above a 1/2 lb .

awesome grow Graehstone I am very impressed with your system and don't know how I missed your thread, please stop by the 150 club sometime and say high to a whole bunch of other 150 watt hps growers.

The barrel of green idea that Dr. Pot has made into a website posted above originated in Czech by a guy called g-man
