Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

[repvip]

Sorry to hear it repvip. Here is how to make a little karma for yourself, lol.

In my opinion everyone should have video cameras at their residence....and especially us. I have my backyard, front door, garage door, and the street in front of my house monitored very discreetly. Now days you can buy set-ups so damn cheap. Even Wal-Mart sells a system.

I check the footage every month or so just to make sure it's all recording as it should be, but otherwise it is totally hands off. So far I've never had a problem at my residence. My neighbor's vehicle was vandalized and I was able to give him some video of the kids doing it. Never asked what happened, but he said he took care of the problem, lol.

I buy stuff from this place for work and they've always done me right.

Much thanks! Been considering this for awhile... I will have to research a little more. I was hoping to get extremely small cameras, almost unnoticeable if possible. Don't want to attract attention. But, honestly, now I do need more protection. Most likely it was one of my neighbors, and most likely they are wondering what I'm doing with an expensive ass grow light.

yeah my little birdhouses are the only ones on the block that have a wire coming out the back. lol. but if you didnt know there were cams in the birdhouse's you would never see them. I added them after my ex broke in and stole my stash and cash.

the fact that now someone knows your intentions of growing, sucks worse than the fact its stolen in my opinion

You need to use the square posts to have room to run your sprayers.

Just follow the plans. All the measurements are on there. (pg.75)

i looked all over the place it didnt say how big to cut them!?...5 foot each obviously tho right?..

what you mean to have room to run your sprayers?

why wouldnt there be room with the 4 inch it seems to sit in there fine at the bottom!?..

or is that wrong? thanks for the read as always stink much respect!..

Hey guys I had a quick question for everyone.
I am getting ready to buy my pumps and I know that everyone is using the ecoplus pumps.

Looks just like my ECO Plus 396!

 

[robotninja]

I was gonna say the same thing, almost seems like a better deal! Go for it, 1 year warranty can't beat that.

SOG:

How can you stand to have all of those great products still in their boxes? I would be breaking them out and putting junk together!

If I was in your area I would volunteer to help you set all of that up, it is going to be a lot of work but it will be a work of love!

I'm drooling...

repvip:

Do you think your neighbors will let it slip? How could someone know it was a grow light? Was it not packaged good? That sucks balls, I recommend craigslist. In my area there is a constant supply of lighting on craigslist.

I don't think they knew it was a grow light. Just a crime of opportunity. I live on a very busy street, with bus stops at both ends--people frequently walk by--it could just as easily been one of them. However, I don't trust my neighbors as far as I can throw em. They are shady. I haven't had a fedex delivery in a very long time. I know my UPS driver well and he always takes care of me. Anyway--can't cry over it.

This was a newer LED light. It's pretty specific for growing. And expensive. They will have to pawn it. The funny thing is, I could probably track it down, it is unique enough, but I just don't think it's worth it.

Thanks to Picasso.. I have a 4 camera dvr security system coming. Through UPS of course. I feel safer already.

Good for you, you'll enjoy the peace of mind. Damn shady neighbors are the worst. You're stuck with them through no fault of your own.

I'd take the other guys suggestion and watch craigslist...if your light comes up for sale, you might want to check it out, lol.

Hey guys,, i dont know if this was answered or not.
I just started trimming a few of the lower branches of some of the plants that i could reach,, and managed to fill up a bagfull.. on the topic of making hash, can i save these trimmings? should i put them in a plastic bag in the fridge?

???

Hey Dirt - what's up buddy. You have a harvest coming up very shortly don't you? I've got one coming in two weeks - my first aero harvest and I'm pretty excited.

In any case about the hash making - I trim ALL the time the lower leaves, branches, etc. My understanding about making hash is that you freeze the trichomes (the resin glands that build up in flowering) and they are not water soluble so you can strain them out. Why I say this is that if the trimmings don't have any trichomes in them there's really no point in using them because you won't get anything off them to make the hash.

So...if you see frosty goodness use for hash. If not - discard. I plan to use the trimming real close to the bud for hash making and any longer leaves that may be covered.

In any case I hope that helps.

Now I have a question for any of you readers out there. Has anyone ever grown Dutch Passion Skywalker or Dutch Passion Strawberry Cough? Only reason I ask is because I have them in my system now and I've gotta say I'm kinda of disapponted because I don't have much of a main cola AT all. I have a Barney's Farm Sweet Tooth that is absolutely HUGE and another Barney's Farm that is ok. Everything was started from seed so I'm wondering if I just got really lucky with the one Barney's Farm and a little unlucky with the Dutch Passion seeds. I've taken clones of my insane Barney's Farm Sweet Tooth plant and the clones are growing like apesh!t too. I'm wondering if I should try a couple more clones to see if they do any better for the Cough and Skywalker and if they don't I might try germing more seeds to see if they act the same as well.

IMPORTANT EDIT - I just realized a reason for some slow growth in the garden may be that it gets pretty cold at night in my room - down into the 50s. CRAP now I have to figure out a heater on a thermostat IN the bloom room. Anyone have experience with this? Some sort of space heater maybe?
I think this will do it http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100652235

When you trim do you just use pruners and clip..or is there a certain way your supposed to do it? Do you clean the shears with alcohol and cut near the main stalk at a 45 degree angle? or just pluck? whats the scoop?

thanks

I have a pair of spring loaded pruning shears that I use. I clip as close to the stem of the leaf as possible. If it is a leaf connected to the main stem I snip right where it connects. If it is a leaf that connects to another stem/branch I snip very close to the leaf stem that I want to remove.

Here's a link to the exact tool I use.
http://www.nationalgardenwholesale.com/ngw/gardening_supplies.aspx?request=MICRO-BLADE-PRUNER&title=Hand%20Tools&type=product

I STRONGLY recommend using a tool like this when pruning the smaller stuff and ESPECIALLY during harvest. It helps your hand out SO much to have the spring loaded you have no idea.It's also so much easier to do the pruning without having to get your fingers all situated like you would with scissors.

EDIT - I feel I should clarify I do NOT remove ANYTHING that is getting light. Only underneath branches and or leaves that are getting NO light at all.

Good advice. Wal-Mart sells the good old Fiskars 5" too. Sewing section.

It's funny you mentioned that place. I just put in an order with Blake and asked him about these pumps. He sells the Ecoplus 396 too if you want that but he said these are more reliable and they work just as good.

 

[DragonPhoenix]

hey Dirthawker - I know your plants are doing very well however I think you may have a even BETTER harvest after you get the RO system in place.

My reasoning for saying this is that if your water is very high in ppm the chlorine content if elevated can kill alot of the beneficial bateria that we are trying to get to grow in our organic nutrients.

I know you're gonna have an awesome harvest very shortly and the one following that will be even better! I can't wait to see the pics. Be sure to let me know how you are drying as well - hanging? bud screen dryer? etc.

I'm looking at the photos and thinking holy shit! Then I realize not even all the pots are filled! OMG!

You are going to be stoked on your first harvest bro! Great job!

Love them photos.

P.S...A big Thank You to all the guys that help me with questions. (you know who you are) I've been really busy with work lately and haven't had time to answer every one. StinkBuddies Rule!

What really shocked me is that in that picture the system on the left - those plants have only been in for 2 weeks. There are Delta 9 Fruit of the Gods (Skunk#1 X NL5) in the back which are a sativa and Reserva Privada Purple Wreck (Urkel x Trainwreck (T4) in the front.

They've grown SO much in the 2w they have been there.
