It's a cricket match. Well actually a best of 5 of matches between England and Austrailia. They have it every 2 years. It's fucking long... but the best thing in the world of sports (in my opinion). You might guess it to be about the stupidest thing if you weren't into cricket. Each match is 5 days long, 8 hours a day. Started the day before Thanksgiving and goes till Jan 6. Oh... haha... the best part. It could be a draw at the end. So far there's been 1 draw, and England are looking to win the second match today (actually tomorrow in australia).

Also... I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone for their vegging light info. It was like a roll call in here. We have so many members it's fucking awesome. Lots of good info there. I'm still not sure what to do in my grow... but I'm armed with much info and experience of others... which is one of the reasons the 600 club ROCKS!!!!

Hopefully in the next week. I'm putting the finishing touches on the new level of flooded tubes as we speak. Lots of foil tape flying around. I sure hope this shit works well. I still have my doubts. It could be really awesome if it does what I hope though.

I recycled some old bottles and cans I had under my deck to fund the operation, lol. Funds kinda tight round my house. Need to get a harvest in to make things easier.

Indeed Jig. Are you hoping the foil tape will increase reflectivity? It does reflect very good almost like mylar.

Basically it's to cover the pipe I'm using. It's black... and in the big light I got... it would heat up real good... heating up the water inside. That's the only reason really for using it. It works great for stuff though... keeps things cool, it's water proof and it can peel off cleanly if I want it. Plus it looks cool, haha.

Foil tape is jig's duct tape.

Masonman old buddy, it looked to me like you didn't mix your stuff enough. Chime in here guys, but if I'm wrong, it should look all frothy and foamy green when your done mixing. I didn't see any froth or foam for that matter. I don't have the hash making down either. I look at the stuff dst makes and I wonder how in the hell do you get all that? The most I have come up with is almost six grams.

CIMG9472.jpg CIMG9471.jpg So the first pic is the old tube... that's gonna be placed about 4 feet up the wall... then the one sitting by the door is going to be the bottom level placed about 2.5 feet up. the tub will be the rez. It will have a water pump flowing the water though the top tube... then it will drop strait down to the next tube... then to the rez. It will make more sense when it is together. It's gonna have 5 plants per level, 10 total (i'm good at math, huh). I'm using strong ties to hold the things up to the wall.
 
about to get my trim on. convinced the wife that a breeding room is what I need, so Ive got my breeding room now. Im converting my old flower closet. I will be experimenting with seeds from members of this club and my current seed stock. thank you guys, you know who you are.

I agree.....you should have like an inch of foam on the top when you're done mixing....I use a drill with a paint mixing paddle to stir the bucket of green shit.....mix for about 10-15 min. using both forward and reverse.

No I did mix it well. I mean i mixed it for like an hour letting it settle for a few min here and there. I just didnt seperate the mix correctly i think. I siphoned off probably alot of good shizznit as it hadnt all settled. Ohh well lesson learned. I did get a nice chunk though. Ohh and that pic was takin right before i started mixing aswell :lol: Duh i should have said that hehe.

Only stir for about 13 minutes. Like endless and me do. It seems to be the magic time. When I pull the leaves and ice out... I make sure to squeeze the hell out of everything becuase they soak up the trichs like a sponge. I dump the whole thing through a small kitchen screen thing (with a handle). This gets the little bits of leave/ plant metter left. By then the water is pretty much see though golden. I then let it sit for 6 or more hours to let the trichs fall to the bottom. Then siphon. That's my method.
 
Aight peeps got some great news from the cave.

Got my replacement ph probe in today. Hooked it up calibrated the meter and Fuck yeah its finally calibrated correctly. Ive benn using litmus strips which works but does not give me the accuracy of the hanna. So i found that my tap water is quite acidic and therfore locking out my plants from getting the most out of the nutes.

So after a few adjustments to the mix in the garden got the yins on a 350 ppm diet of jacks classic and calmag. ph sitting at 5.8 and really excited for the first time in a while about seeing this grow through.

Ill throw up some pics in the AM lol im so stoned i can hardly see doubles haha. peace 1BMM
