yea, see, that's what I tried to avoid and totally went in the opposite direction. lol

Yea, I didn't know really what to expect. part of me wanted to bring a notepad to take notes...talk about a wealth of knowledge there! But figured that would look odd at a stoner convention.

If ever a couple of those pass through tws hands i will gladly test them out at some stage thanks papa but im not holding you to it you guys dont owe me anything i would say i owe you all for giving me a decades knowledge in only 18 months

Im sure something can be made to happen

I notice that down here at the get togethers we have. It is really hard to have a conversation with everyone. But its a great chance to see some faces and at least talk to a few. They do go rather quickly here too. 5 or 6 hours can fly by before you know it.

sure can!!

Well, gave up hunting used and cut off sections of cages and bought a roll of 11.5 gauge 8 foot tall 330' long game fence to make my cages, and fully enclose the side yard, and if there's some left over, a bigger hog run, and goat run. All I can say is holy fuck that shit ain't cheap to buy new!!

Especially in 8 ft. Bet that stung.

 

[papapayne]

$399 a roll...

 

[papapayne]

Was only place I found that even had it, so wasn't much as far as trying to find a better deal...was more like shit I have pots to fill next week and don't wanna put cages to last like last year and end up with flop city.

My general plant is, the 200s will get partly filled, then the 10 gallon pot put into it, with an inner cage inbetween the 10, and 200 gallon smart pots, then an outer cage just on the inside of the side wall, so that the pot is both held up by the wire, and its embedded into the soil so more stable. then entire pot filled. Probably going to have to run lights a few hours to keep em in veg Going to get 10' rigid EMT for supports, prob 4 per plant, and I have some 8' bamboo as well to use up.

Hey papa I understand why you want both cages, but why leave the plant in the 10 gallon pot? Why not go directly transplanted into the 200?

transplanting outta the ten gallon smart pot (in my mind) is going to be a bear to try to do without damaging the roots. Figure no transplant shock by leaving it in the ten, and the roots will grow right thru it.

Yea man . You ain't getting a plant out of a smart pot alive . Lol

yea, they are a nightmare trying to transplant outta...biggest I like to attempt is 5 gallons, and about 80% the time, seems to really slow em down doing it. Although, I suppose I could cut them off, I doubt they will be good for a second season anyway.

Cool, ok. Never used smart pots so didnt know. Good to learn these things beforehand

 

[papapayne]

yea, theres 4 plants that I already did this with, from 5 to 10s. Within a few day, the 5 and the tens were locked together by roots.

It always amazes me: the absolute power of a plant, the want to thrive and carry forth.
It's humbling...

Definitely.....

 

[papapayne]

yea...Im sure you guys have seen it on smart pots where the roots come thru on their own, or fill up the saucer if you use saucers. If they dont hit air, they dont get air pruned. They just carry on!

 

[papapayne]

Definitely.....

Thats a great flick! Theres a few great books to Ive had to read in the botany program that are pretty thought provoking.


botany of desire by michael pollen especially, has a deep thought one on cannabis.

 

[papapayne]

I cant seem to find the link, but there's a nother video that was done by them I believe that documents some hidden valleys/slopes in china that are are still untouched ecosystems (although under heavy pressure by climate change) - so many untold varieties of the original plants that the have been imported and cultivated now for generations.
