Hey folks sorry im a day late and a dollar short once again. Better late than nver right ha ha. OK so for starters the plants are starting to really stink. I enjoy the smell but got to be wise about this shit. I have people over alot for cookouts and nobody has a fkn clue what the badman is up to.
Solution to the problem. I have been rerouting ductwork in an effort to completely hide the exhaust vent from the grow room. Ultra stealth. If you where the law starring dead at the room youd still never know that behind thae wall is a fucking pot lab lol. Yeah peeps its like that and im gonna keep it that way. So back to the smell i punched a hole in the block chimney stack some time ago and ran ducting up it and down to the general vacinity of the cave. So today I made the last connection and it sucked. Im a big mofo at 220lbs but in pretty good shape. I had to climb into a 2*2 hole with all te lil critters and such, then fish the ducting over to the chimney stack. What a bitch.
But now the house is free of the ganja odours. So all in all what the hell, I got it done. And my outdoor stack isnt near anyones windows so the smell venting should discipate well i hope lol. Good thing both my neighbors rock the ganj. They dont know i grow. But ive smoked some killer dank with all of my surrounding neighbors which eases my mind hugely. Time for some show and tell heres the latest from the badman.
This was an experiment i conducted to see if I could root an entire lower branch off the mother purp. I cut all 4 of the lowest branches off just cause they really arent producing shit as far as clones are concerned. Out of the 4 this was the only one that made it. I now pronounce this clone mother Purp #2.
And here she is in her new home in some FF Ocean Forest.
Time for a joint. This is the last chunck of the Dankouver. Some nice fruity heavy duty giggly pot. Mmmm Mmmm Some good shit. I didnt grow this by the way. I hope my weed turns out this good.
My wife has been bugging me to try my green thumb on some house plants so ive rooted this spider plant slip that my dad gave me. Hes quite the gardener himself. But an asshole lol haha just jokin.
Heres an overview of the room. As you can see ive been taking clones from all the new strains. And the plants are bushing up like crazy. I believe these new strains are all female but im gonna sex them anyways. Mean while ive got nearly one hundred cuttings in the cloner ready for the palnting once the sex of the mother is determined. Things are about to get real interesting here soon folks.
Caddy Cloner stuffed to the gills. 6-8 cuttings per plug. Interestingly they really dont mind being jam packed and for the most part remain green and healthy. There are some that will consume the lowest set of leaves. I believe the cutting is using the yellowing leafs for food to keep the main growing tip alive. If the tip dies shes done.
I have 2 large aqaurium pumps dual port running 24/7 on 4 12" airstones. Works fkn great.
Heres the next set ready for the woods. Ive topped them cause they are stretchy bitches but they are pot bound and ready. Id like them to be a lil bushier but i need to make room.
These will be ready in about a week. They have been in soil now 4 days getting a nice rootball going. These are the Purps. My only known female strain at the moment besides the Time warp which is growing in another room similar to mine far away. I have clones rooting there aswell of Super Skunk & Time warp. Also Coming along is the DST's Headband & Headband * Cali Orange. Ill try to get some pics but i doubt it. These peeps are hella paranoid and with good reason. I wont push it but youll see mine when i get them outdoors.
Some rooted BW clones. I tell ya this strain is a hardy and fast grower so far. Its already been cloned 2 times verses one from the others. Hope shes a she and not a he. lol. For those who dont know the BW is white widow times blueberry. Should be some tasty shit. And a heavy yielder aswell.
Got both 600s running Agromax MH conversion bulbs. Usually every 5-7 days i can take about 30 - 50 cuttings. Now i finally got the temps in check and all is just peachy in the cave. Notice im trying to stretch these bitches on purpose to get clones faster. I dont know if its working by keeping the lamps higher than 2ft from the canopy. If i go any closer the temps go up so for now thats my ideal
. Moving on.
Here we go folks just wainting on the Lemon skunk. Its rooting so only a few days maybe a week and ill be ready to force these 5 to show sex. Then its on like donkey kong. I do belive ill be shutting down the flower veg portion of the room simply because my power bill is gonna be huge if i keep the AC and both lights running. That and hot weather is on the way so that lil AC unit wont be able to keep the temps down. I Think im gonna hang a couple floro hoods where the 600s are once i get enough clones. The floro hoods are cheap to run and dont put out hardly any heat. They will still give the plants enough light to grow but probly not nearly as fast as they are under these BAD ASS 600s.
Once winter 2010 arrives ill be doing a full scale hydroponic scrog and the heat in the winter is not an issue at all. Its stays just perfect in the room with the 2 600s fired up. And its not as smelly too.
Time for a cold beer and some good ole red meat. I built this bbq pit yesterday in my back yard. I guess i got a bit artistic with it. It only took me about 20 min to slap it together with some leftover granite slabs i had laying around and a few block.
Thats it for now from the badman. Going on a adventure into the wilds of gods country tommorow with my dog loco. Be back soon with some more pics and rants for that ass. Peace
