Thats the thing about growin it takes what is commonly called a green thumb, and you never know who has one.

Does this qualify me for a Green Thumb Card..?...lol...

So I figured this would be a good time for another comparison... lol...

The first picture was taken on 09/06/08...

The second picture is the same clone on 09/21/08...
Not bad for 15 days eh?!

All of the following pictures were taken just a few minutes ago... so almost 2 months have passed...

I am sorry I do not have a shot of the plant with the roots hanging down... They are about 5 feet long and I could not figure out how to get the shot without my hand on it... until I put it back and then I am not going to fuck with it anymore...

So... these are the shots you get ... but it should illustrate very well the current stat of affairs....lol...

Oh, and I have already taken 6 cuttings from this, before the pics...

The roots are the ones on the right, closest to you...

A backside shot, showing what is, in my opinion, the perfect "HPS veg stretch" for cloning...

This next photo reminds me of the Incredible Hulk for some reason...

Braids of Life...

And a final, close up shot...

Cheers...

Really?

What went wrong?

Oh and Thanks for the membership...lol....

 

[DKskater75]

ok you really need to stop posting all these pics cause you makin me want to throw out all my soil and go straight to hydro lol nice work...

 

[GypsyBush]

Thanks... DirtBag...lol....

I'm just playing with you man... I am sure if you could see your roots they would be just as impressive...

But I do appreciate the compliment...

Cheers...

I work alot and cant check in on them everyday, that's basically it. Hell I had a busy weekend and didnt even get to see the flowering girls all weekend. With my res on the veg side of the room though I can do my checks, balances, and H2O add without ever disrupting the flowering girls light cycle.

 

[GypsyBush]

I work alot and cant check in on them everyday...

I hear ya...

But you look like you are doing pretty ok...lol...

How do you like the 1000w? what were you running before?

You're doing ebb/flow now?

Oh, you mentioned res.... it may or not be an issue, but I really liked this when I saw it... it's in my sig now...lol...

cheers...

 

[-=4:20=-Guy]

But you look like you are doing pretty ok...lol...

Ya finally bought a real 3x4 tray

How do you like the 1000w? what were you running before?

LOVE the digital 1000w, previously have had 1000w 600w 430w and most recently 400w due to power limitations. I didn't clone one of my old mums to death this time and put her in to bud instead so I could see the difference that just the light makes and not the switch to hydro and the 1000w.

You're doing ebb/flow now?

Doing a hybrid ebb/flow + drip. Im in 4" cubes on top of three 6"x3"x36" slabs.

Have you checked out my grow?

Oh, you mentioned res.... it may or not be an issue, but I really liked this when I saw it... it's in my sig now...lol...

I looked that over but I have a big enough res 12-16gal that it takes about 3-4 days to get to critical levels, and I never go that long without checking the vitals. So it would be kinda excessive.

 

[GypsyBush]

Have you checked out my grow?

I have subscribed and will be catching up soon..

 

[raiderman]

gypsy you hijackin this mans journal. to much posting on someone elses shit......say kingman,, it looks like your not letting the med.not dry out enuff.between waterings. some plants can take it some cant , ive got one thats easily overwaters. try letting dry out a bit longer between waterings,, its got the look of not enuff oxygen to the roots , gd luk bud.

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

thanks raiderman, I know i used to overwater my girls a little too much, n ive stopped doin that for the last couple waterings. I only water my plants every 2-3 days, or whenever their dry a few inches down in the pot. Thanks though

Pickin up a humidifier(thanks DK) today for like 19 bucks. Its one of those that are used for offices or cars, n looks like itll work out just fine, so im tossin out thebucket o' water, n gonna do it right - just hope i can fit all my shit into the tent n still have room for the fuckin plants, lol.

ill give an update a little later n let u know how it works out.its like 10 inches round, so hopefully i can fit all of this and 8 plants into the tent, lol - glad im usin 3 gallon bags n not 5 right now, thats for fuckin sure. optimizing conditions in that fucker is tough man - i need a damn basement

[raiderman]

i bought 2 pacs of the g13 hp. 11 out of 20 germed, ended up with 7 females, i wanted more plants, so wile thos seedlings were going i ordered a pac of HP seeds ,here in 10 days ,germed 6 out of 10 germed, got 3 females for 180.00. in all this project on g13 hp total cost 550.00. BS. they told me last week they are sending me new seeds because alot of ppl complained, old ass seeds. sensi sent them fresh ones and i was on the list , been 1 week today supposedly sent them, we'll see...
the tent Kingman is 6.5 ft wide , 6.5 ft long , 8ft tall, its framed with reg 1 inch pine . , the top part is is pinned to the top of the garage , the bak and the rite side arepinned to the wall, but not the left or the front are. i thought this out ahile. air exchange is plesent, heaters mounted , air conditioner mounted in the bak, the main vent hole is has 6" duct hose going through it leading up by the gas central unit , to capture burned CO2 that releases from it to get that extra boost this winter.
