Well, first shot at it. Had a really stretchy pheno and this seemed like the logical way to deal with it.

Isn't my preferred way to grow in a tent. Hated not having full access to the girls at the back.

That is a drawback. The ScrOG looks good- not sure about your situation but I've seen some folks use tents with side zippers.

Army crawl lol, could have call it commando trimming lmao excuse me I'm just too

Welllllll... a fella COULD just turn the whole works up on its ear- and then there's no more crawling;

Dr Doom pyrethrins. But then you still have to spray something to deal with hatchlings.

Or, buy some pyrethrins and simply spray your girls every 4 days for two weeks- this gets adults, young and interrupts the life cycle so more eggs won't get laid.

Thanks dude

The fuck man. I'm not even sure what I'm looking at?

Some kind of vert grow I'm guessing but wow, that's impressive.

Lmao now that beautiful lady you gotta craw up the fence

That's a snap thru the wall of foliage, looking at the inside of my vertical rack. Six plants on 4' wide x 6' tall trellis panels, arranged in an oval. The pic is down the long axis, that's why the lamps are lined up.

I usually get about a pound per, but once my HVAC is properly sorted and the COBs are in place, I believe I can double that average.

Here's my new personal best, 26 1/4z dry;

Nice, thanks for the pic.

It's something I've read about (heath Robinson grow was so impressive) but never attempted.

Definitely got potentially for great yields.

Think my next move is automating the water/feeding. Currently grow in coco but I hand water, sometimes once a day. It's a lot of work that I could do without.

Heath Robinson's work is a big inspiration for me, and much of what I've done is simply following in his footsteps. Wherever he is, I do hope he's doing all right. He sure helped me help a lot of people feel better. I can only imagine what he'd do with a proper brace of COBs!

To automate your coco grow; One short cycle timer, an irrigation manifold, a much bigger pump than you think you'll need and a big bin for mixing your nutes. The big pump is necessary to develop enough line pressure to feed all the ladies evenly. Short cycle timer because you'll be timing your feeds in seconds. Big bin for nutes because bigger is better!

And an anti-siphon if the water level of said bin is higher than the bottom of your coco pots!

Yeah, was looking at something as simple as that. Not sure about the pump though. Noise is a consideration for me so I'm looking at gravity fed options but not convinced it's going to be as effective.

If you could find an electrically actuated valve, you could do it as long as your head pressure was high enough. Honestly, this is the hardest part because you'll need at least 5 METERS (15') of head height to do it properly, else some ladies might get drowned while others starve.

The pump would only run a few times a day, generally for less than fifteen seconds. Put a chunk of foam insulation board underneath it to stop the transfer of vibration and that's most of your noise problem nipped in the bud. They really aren't that loud.

That's it exactly. Gravity fed would be great from a stealth perspective but it's just not going to be as reliable and consistent is it.

Can see it being trouble from the off. Maybe just need to look for as quiet a pump as I can get get and just deal with the extra noise.

An empty waterpump makes a racket. Full ones, once you've isolated their vibration, generally not so much.

1 plant (Sticky iky, iky sticky )Popping,of big time,super fast finishing strain (day 54)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She will finish in 8 week,i added pk 13/14 for 2 week this time,i just wanted to see what would happen,if i added pk for 2 week rather than 1 week.And to be honest i only have good thing's to say.Well over a lb,dry that is for sure,the bud's are dense,super sized.

I would normally run strains to 9/10 week but since i threw these two strains together,it just the nicest plant i have seen in a very long time,the smell is just un-real it hurt's your eye's.

Thought i show a few really close up shot's of the thc,it's now on water and will remain on water for another 12 days,or till i am happy crowning has done .(Sticky iky, iky sticky)

 

[tyke1973]

Popping s-i-i-s #1
=============
It has took the look of the exodus cheese,but the smell of blue's with cheese under tone's

 

[tyke1973]

I was going to run with the idea,of a cross of this a msnl's blueberry just for the color,but i'm thinking about trying my jack herer male crossed with this,a friends going to run that in a spare room he has.So we are going to go with that,and my next will be back to jack herer i am in need of some oil from that strain,i have no idea what the oil is going to be like of this yet,so be good to try it out,running low on med's too so could not come fast enough.

Hi Guys!

I've been so busy cutting!! Started a couple on sat night and finished last night.

This is a CBD Black Widow from CBD Crew and Positronics. They gave me a few freebies at the show. Quite a fat central bud as you can see. Kept a Mum back and may use this for making CBD oil. Definitely not gonna taste of nutes, look how pale she is. Lots of nice cloudy tricks and a few Amber was the point I decided to chop this one. It's supposed to be 1:1 ratio of 12%. Good medicine.

 

[lahadaextranjera]

Meanwhile in Barca at a girlfriends house:-

I think she's looking 400-450g.

Still a couple of weeks to go!

 

[ValleyDragon]

So todays the 2nd time of trying to clone a critical kush strain, used biobizz light mix soil this time to see if this improves the odds..

If it struggles like its mum tho its gonna be bin bound lol..
