Hi Xm,
I'm growing in a HomeBox L and vegging in a selfmade growbox,
Using 1x 250W HPS and 2x 105W CFL (I tend to believe those 105W were the extra juice required).
I did some super cropping and a "torture technique" in the end to increase THC production, but that doesn't have anything to do with my yield.
I rotated my plants and switched them from position every 48 hours.
I vegged for 1 month (plants grew fast) and Flowered 9 weeks.
I used Plagron Grow, Enzymes and CO2 tablets for vegging.
And Plagron Bloom/ Green Sensation and CO2 tablets in Flowering.
I also believe those tablets really helped out alot.
The PH was kept between 5.8-6.2 in my water/nutrient solution mix. But I only did soil samples a couple of times and it always came out at 6.3 for what I can remember.
That's it!

Thats cool man. Thanks for the happy birthday. With these two new snakes I have 13 now. Not to mention the 2 clutches of eggs, 9 in one clutch and 5 in the other. I'll have even more eggs next breeding season. I've added to my collection of breeders and two of my juveniles will be sexually mature enough to breed. Maybe I can make a little money selling the hatchlings this year and from now on. I've been into snakes for 20 years and I'm just starting to breed them. Hopefully it'll work out. Now if I can get that good with MJ I'll be a happy camper. Here's some pics of more of my collection.

No you are far from an idiot. I do try to label all the pics I have tho. It helps me keep my hard drives organized. I met this 60 year old guy yesterday that has been into snakes for 45 years. He is the one who I got the 2 new snakes from. He literally caught the yellow ratsnake in the everglades a few years ago and the prairie kingsnake in one of the central us states ( I forgot which one he said, he had alot of snakes). He has invited me to go with him on these out of state snake hunting trips with him. This is like a dream come true for me. I always envied Jeff Corwin and the Crocodile Hunter wishing I was in their shoes (well not so much the croc hunter anymore...lol....no disrespect). I pumped and ready to go on one of these adventures. He said they'll be going to florida this year and for me to go with him. I'll be there.

Lol Altered always the one to flatter ;-).

I like the first one and the third one, they're really cute, really REALLY cute.

That's pretty cool that you're into stuff like that, you'd probably like it around where I live. My girl and I found a black scorpion with a broken tail the other day, kinda felt bad for the poor little fella. We also have Rattle snakes out here too, the cable guy got scared because a Rattler shed it's skin right by the cable box and he thought it was an actual snake, rather than just the skin lol.

Around what time of the year you planning to go out to FL?

If it's around the right time maybe I can buy a baby snake from you :mrgreen:, how much do you charge for them? They look really cute, my girl thinks they look cool too.

I'm very certain that you'll get as great with grow as you are with snakes Altered, just keep up the great work :bigjoint:.

The guy told me that it would be this fall before it gets too cold. I'll let you know when I do. The babies vary in price. The two you said you like, the first one is around $40 and the other is around $60. But for you Doobs, I'd just give you one. If its a baby I hatched out then it didn't cost me anything so I wouldn't charge you anything. I'll be sure to let you know when they hatch. I'll post some pics and you can pick one. If you'll pay for shipping, $40-$60 for live animal shipping depending on how far you are from me, I'll send it to you. I know its sketchy giving your address to someone so lets brainstorm and figure out a safe way to do this.

I catch red rat and grey rats snakes around my place all the time.
Rough night of zombies and getting baked.

Thats cool. Those are both snakes I would be interested in having for future breeding projects. I actually have my eye on a beautiful red rat online but I'm torn between buying it or buying a better ventilation fan for my grow. The temps in my flower chamber have been getting up to 84 on hot days. Nothing to freak out about but a problem I should fix none the less.

Oh I've got things figured out, the place I'd have it sent to is about.... 2 hours or so away from me lol.

I won't be in FL until around Xmas time so we'll probably have to arrange something. Lol I got so excited I woke up my girl, just to tell her lol. I'd pay you something back, I don't like taking things for free. Whether or not it's monitary or free for me, I'll send you something back as payment. Thanks for being so chill and cool about it Altered :bigjoint:.

Ohhh I can't wait for the babies to hatch and see them.
