Who's goin' vertical? First Stadium

[DHF]

It only gets better with runs under yer belt Whodat...bet on it...and......Looks like you`re a certified "strain whore" along with bein a vert Con-vert......

Most everyone down here in Vert-ville is too so you`re in good company.....

I preach and preach runnin each strain/variety in it`s own smaller area to dial each individual nutrient requirements and environment needs but nobody listens....lol.....anyways.....

Good luck on the next round Bro...

Peace....DHF.........

Thanks DHF. I know that you ideally want to monocrop but how do you ever pick your favorites? I want to be a strain whore for a while and learn what I like. Then I can find my keeper and settle down into a long monogamous weed relationship.

It's an ongoing battle in my head too - you're not alone.

But easy killer - "monogamous" is so .. "Final" sounding.

I, for one, am pursuing a small series of polymorphous relationships. My first lover was the Nightmare. I'm still dating, though.

 

[who dat is]

I think I'll always have some friends with benefits, but the best I'll be able to whittle down to will be no less than 4 or so at time. Headband is one for sure.....the others I don't know yet. Still playing the field.

 

[silver hawaiian]

I swear, I'm not meaning to cheese out, but my Headband cut was my first keeper, ..

..then I got this ND..

The moral of the story? F*ck monogamy!

..always accepting applications..

Shhhiiiiiitttttt son, I already got some Reserva Privada beans for next run. Pheno hunting time - Mammoth, Lohan, Hemlock, and Lucy. Also got some test run beans for somebody that I shouldn't mention til I'm ready to pop them. Alas, that's not til the next house so a good 4 months or so out. *sigh*

When yas find the bitches yas wanna exploit and squeeze every gram out of em possible , then.....

It`s time ta give em their own crib and pimp it for em....that way yas ain`t got plants growin into each other and stayin either taller or shorter that fucks up the sideways canopy...

I ran many rooms with many bitches.....but they ALL ....had their own rooms to be all they could be........

Ya`ll take care and do the best yas can.....

Peace....Freds...........

Is this a statement or a question? I'd be glad to help you out if you need it.

I have been lurking in the shadows the whole time. You smashed it man and things are only gonna get better with each run. And once you know all your "spots" in the grow and get to know your bitches you can run multiple strains in a room as long as you know what they're gonna look like when they're done with stratch. I've done it, and yes I know it brought down my yield, but when your resources and space are limited, and your a strain whore like me, you make it work, variety is the spice of life. I recently con-verted and hope everyone down here in vertville will help us all max out our set-up's. Best forum on the site imo.... Been waiting 15 yrs. for this shit.

Thanks Frank.

Here are some drying shots. They always look bigger in pictures, don't know if that's a good or a bad thing...

A preview of things to come

Fuck yeah.

Update time. I've been pretty busy and spread pretty thin. In any case I'm trying to get my room back into some meaningful order. From here on out I'm calling this Round 2. Pretty much everything in here is on different flower times so I'm not even fooling with keeping up. I have the flower start dates written on the label on the pot if I'm really worried about it.....but I'm not. I REALLY have to deal with my intake as it has to be the culprit for why my shit has been herming. The Purple Flo started sprouting balls so I chopped it as well. One of my triple diesels popped a couple as well but I'm keeping it. Now I'm just going to have to be on ball/nanner patrol and just keep plucking I guess. I'm going to fashion so ghetto fabulous contraption to block hopefully all the light tomorrow when I finally have time. The official lineup now barring no more nanner fuck ups is,

Templar
Cheesehead
MK Ultra
Triple Diesel
Chemdawg
Flo
Headband
Jedi Kush
Island Sweet Skunk
Master Kush

"If you're a strain whore please stand up"



I'm trying a different approach this time from the trellis netting. I'm going to be using bamboo stakes in each individual pot for a number of reasons.

• I am going to spread the plants out and make them more 2 dimensional to increase surface area.
• I will be able to pull plants out and move them around for closer inspection, nanner pulling, etc.
• Since the plants are going to be flatter and independent of each other I will be able to orient them to be better facing the light. I'm trying to "bend" each bench of the stadium around the bulb. Also, I will be trying my damndest to have the plants the ideal distance from the bulb this round.

Please excuse the shitty pictures but it's just way too hard to take proper pictures with those bulbs going in there. Keep in mind that I'm progressively moving stuff around in there so things will be shaping up nicely really soon.

Here is the Templar showing what I'm aiming for. I was also trying defoliation techniques with this one. I certainly am no expert and I'm still on the fence with this one but I'll keep trying it for a little while longer.

That's all for now. Ya'll hit me up with any questions or comments.

LOL I was thinking the same thing the other night while shooting some bud porn!Great looking harvest you got there...staying subbed for round 2.That Templar looks like a prime candidate as far as structure goes.GL buddy.

 

[silver hawaiian]

That Templar looks like it's going to blow up

 

[who dat is]

The templar looks good but I think it should be farther along than it is. It was one of the experiment plants and I learned how you can stunt them with defoliating. I think it's getting it's stride again though and it should start filling out now. Thanks for stopping in ya'll.

 

[who dat is]

Been pretty out of it lately and haven't been putting in nearly the amount of time in the room that I should be. I've been running in all kinds of different directions trying to get shit figured out. In any case the room is still alive and mostly well. Some of the girls (triple diesel in the back corner in particular) are looking pissed but what are you gonna do? I have so many different strains and they all seem to have different flowering start dates so I'm not even worried about keeping up with them at this point as far as flowering times. I just know that everything will be done before end of the lease. The Jedi Kushes are going to be the last to finish which is pretty much up to the last minute.

Aside from all that mess I've been having numerous fuck ups with light timers getting wacky or left on. At this point I'm just going to have to start pulling any weird male flowers that start to pop up. Worst case I just turn everything into hash but I'm hoping it's not going to get that bad yet.

Been enjoying all the flavors from last run though. Everything turned out well and I was happy with everything. Looking forward to some more flavors yet but that isn't for a minute yet. Pics or get out...

Peace out ya'll, I'm going to try to be better about updates in future but no promises.

*EDIT* Forgot to mention that these pictures were taken on 3-13

 

[who dat is]

Trying to stay into keeping up to date but it's not really working. Sorry guys but I've lost interest in keeping up with this thread as I have a whole lot of other stuff going on right now. For the sake of not having a thread with no ending I'm going to try to update every couple of weeks. If you guys have any questions about anything let me know and I'll eventually answer them. This pictures are from today, 3-27-13.
