Small, slow and retarded... Hey! thats the way I like my women... I dont want her fruit to smell like pine, skunk or diesel though... Her boobs err.. ugh..(Bud) sizes are not important as long as they dont have the gala kite bloodshot eye pancake sized nipples hanging off the end look... You will see in my pic a plant in soil, in the ice cream bucket,,,the runt.. watch this little shit put out the most.. it was only about 6" when the others went to flower at 16"

Getting back to the point of the thread, growing weed...

Some of my plants are objecting to the snowstorm foliar treatment. Some twisted, a couple folding, some just plain pissed off. They are absorbing lots of nutes though. Something on the order of 70+ ppm a day. In other news I noticed a downside to the bucket system. Water sits in the hoses and gets heated. This has raised my average Rez temp from 67 to 72 which is to hot for my liking. To combat this, I have put that foam pipe insulation over the hoses. Will be able to tell the effect later this evening

Some random pictures...

My Veg "bath" all the buckets sit in here during veg. It's basically a big ebb/flood table (that gets flooded to 8" deep). Me getting bored at night drilling holes in buckets..

Sweet Jesus, Atheist. Them some big ass buds! What strain you got there? Nevermind, I think you mentioned in thread...will find.

I'm envious as hell of all that room you got, Legal. And I dig the scrubber. That's one of those things I never would of thought of myself. I only think of scrubbing air as it's being exhausted. But with CO2, from what I understand, you need a sealed grow space. Kinda hard to scrub exhaust from a room that's rarely exhausted. Is there an auxiliary scrubber, too?

And the point of this thread is not to grow weed so much as it is to teach me everything you guys know about said growing of weed. That's why you can't get annoyed with my stupid questions.

Here you go... everything looking happy... last pic you can see both sides,, and the damn ice cream plant on top of the control box... Found a single f'ing mite on a supercropped plant, first plant near door... I unleashed an arsenal... I hosed the plant down with some unknown substance from a fellow grower (damn sure used my respirator , I opened up 2 hot shot strips.. and I bought a 12% pyrethrin fumigator I will let loose in the a.m after lights out.... My next grow room will be completely sealed, and there will be an area that you put on those white one piece outfits and rubber shoes that you dip in alcohol before entering room,,oh yea, and shower caps.. lol I hate bugs, any bugs... They belong outside!! Great set of buds Jimferizzlejizzle... Jimbro, everyone here will help you with your grow, dont sweat it... Legal, your plants will recover , hell, the stress will probably make them grow incredible somehow,, seems like stress does that to plants? Odd...

I dig the scrubber set up for smell control. I have never run the scrub to exhaust so I can't really say, but the internal scrubber set up is nice as it is continually treating the air. I think all the air passes through the filter every 2-3 minutes or something like that. I don't have another scrubber as my light vent enters and exists outside the room. So there is no need to scrub as it is "external" to the room.

If you have this set-up its important that you ensure your hoods are tightly sealed so air doesn't get pulled in the cracks...but since my air is clean in the room it doesn't make a difference.

Looking good Frogster, still kind of worried that they are not above the screen of doom enough but I guess time will tell. I'm hoping that all my shoots straighten out in the next week so I get nice straight tight buds.

Time to bring on the carbos.

The stretching on the supercropped girls seems to have slowed and everything is starting to fill in, lots of hairs filling in on the stems,some 8-12" below the tops, awesome if the buds get that big. , I was sure these were suppose to stretch 2x the size? The scrogged girls are still stretching up top. a lot! Im going to have to raise the lights again. The lower growth and the growth growing out from the sides seems to have slowed,,,

great work fellas...love this thread. it's funny, i hav'nt smoked in almost a year either, and when i am puffin', i am really a lightweight. Just isn't like it was when i was a kid. but i am also a caregiver now, and let my clients dictate the direction of my grows, and i have had very few complaints in the last few years. To be honest, some of my strains are so potent, i would hate to take a big ripper off a bong......fucking ,good night Irene! if i smoke, it is for pain relief, as i have chronic Lyme. And my genetic work has much more to do with medical properties of the strain than recreational properties.......more power to you guys....and you don't have to feel like pussies! Keep up the good work....and keep the smack rolling....laughter is the best medicine!
Peace, Nugs
