Thanks for stopping by everyone! It's great to see all of you still hanging close even with nothing going on.

Well, I showed the plans to my wife last night. She's given the go ahead on walling in the two pods I have now, but she's a bit reticent about the third. She's afraid that with a third pod available, I'll be tempted to exceed the plant numbers we agreed to. In all fairness, she's right :D But hey, approval on the first part of the project is good enough for me.

I'll be starting the tear down as soon as I can, and I'll immediately begin construction.

So, anyone got any good genes floating around? :D

Well, NT. I have to agree with your wifey. She is probably a smart woman, and keeps Excited growers like you and me grounded( like my girly). Anyways man, I think your three pods is a great idea, keep the 30 day offset, and do 1 plant in each chamber, and do it SCROG style. Like you said, you dont need that much weed every month, I think a single plant SCROG would be able to give you about 4 ounces if done right every month. More than I smoke, that would be perfect. Just something to think about. I let you know when mine is finished, just how much I get off of one plant.

Good luck

Well, it's the third pod that I'm talking about adding :D She's all for redoing the two I have, but adding the third she's a bit leery about. I'd have to do only two plants per pod to stay under the limit I agreed to. Still, the thought is there...

whats wrong with only havin 2 plants per pod? would be much easier maintenance and you could have some fatass bushes! cant wait to see what you decide to do!

Nothin' at all wrong with only having two plants per pod. It's whether I'd be able to resist the temptation of adding more :D My wife doubts that I have that ability, and she's a very wise woman :biglaugh:

Probably what will end up happening is that I'll rehab the two current pods, and then break out the third pod and transition over to a bush/tree style. The main reason being that I'm dry :smile: To setup a good tree go, I'll need to extend the veg time. And looking at a harvest at least 4 months out is not gonna swing for me right now. Don't get me wrong, I'd love pullin' in 2 trees per pod, just let 'em go to the limit. Trust me, the thought of seeing those 4x4x7 pods overgrown with trees gives me the shivers.

But, I had everything planned out. I was going into summer set up for a steady supply, never dry. That was important to me, as I do use MJ medicinally to help control pain and a mood disorder. The mood thing was huge, and MJ improves my quality of life there ten fold. I was so looking forward to being able to finally be back in my life, instead of just watching it.

Now, thanks to my 'issue', I'm dry, and at minimum, 2.5 months from a harvest. My summer with my kids is toast. They're back in school by the time my harvest comes in. Don't get me wrong, we'll still have our time, but it sure would have been nice to be on a good level plane.

So, the thought of extending that harvest date out an extra month or so just to be able to pull trees is not an option. Now, once I have one pod giving me a supply, I have absolutely no issue transitioning to two tree pods. But it's gotta be worked up to.

Unless of course someone wants to keep me supplied for the next 4 months, then it's on :D

Only need a quarter...


pound :wink:

Now wow, didn't I turn that simple response into TMI? :biglaugh:

Hey NiteTiger, the plans for the 3 pod grow is awesome, what program did you draw that up with? I may have missed it but what is your light size in the pod? Do you have any access to some outdoor plots? Different methods produce some amazing yield. Sorry to hear you're running dry, prices from dealers are ridiculous, especially for all the medical users. Good luck with your build, look forward to seeing those pods scrog'd out with some huge bud :)

Take care man.

Heya Black, glad ya stopped in! I used Google SketchUp to do the model.

The flowering pod is 1kw HPS, and 400w MH in the veg pod. If I add a second flowering pod, it will be 1kw as well.

And yeah, being dry sucks, but it's an unavoidable evil sometimes. As far as prices, it's been so long since I've seen someone with anything decent, I couldn't even guess at prices right now. Only thing I could get is schwag, and that's a big big IF.

But at least we're getting back on track!

Those pods are going to produce huge , nice big scrogs with even 4 plants per if you wanted to fill the scrog up quicker. You could even do a split scrog, put 2 in and then put in 2 more after 2 weeks, that would give you a split harvest. The plants seem to grow quite a bit within the first two weeks of 12/12. Well I'll be glad to see you back in, good luck man.
