I'm glad I waited for my wife to get home before I started cutting up the lumber I bought. we talked about it all in the garage while looking at what all we have to deal with and she suggested building my new room around my existing rooms and then take down the existing rooms after so I don't mess up the light cycles on the plants at all.
Always nice to have someone with some sense around. Good wives are a good deal. Mine always has good ideas for my closet.

And I gotta say DAAAAYM littlegrower. Those nugs look so amazing.

Morning/Evening guys, been killing it in the 600 last night. Thanks for all the pic share, there are some lovely looking flowers on this thread for sure.....and who said that like flowers was gay, eh!!!

1BMM, now you got your coffeeshop selection, whens you opening for business? oh yeh, cof got it right, you would be pen 1 days and you'll have shmoked the lot!! hahaha.

Welcome to everyone posting for the 1st time, hope you enjoy the 600!! A real cool place to hang out and chat. Country Farmer your slow trimming is getting you there. I just gave up on mine...guess I'll need to finish it off sometime though...its all just shitty stuff left now though.

Jimmy T, I think ZEN is running 2 x 600's he was just saying he isn't using his whole tent area (from what I read) Dezracer, hope all your plans work out bru, like Jig said, it's amazing how our wifes can come up with neat suggestions, but then I guess if you look at something with fresh eyes it's amazing what you can see.

Funny comments from ZEN..."Wiggle Room" in your grow!!! Love it. And Jig, people were honestly asking you how you got the plant to grow up through a screen like that, Fekkin pissin maself bru, that is too funny.

Peace and love to all from the 600!!

Little pig, little pig, let me in.

Hey all, the 600's in the mail! Is a tracking number good enough for now to get into this club, and if so, where's my badge? LOL

Anyway, I do have a question I'd like to throw out there. The ballast is just a 120 magnetic HPS and I ordered a Super HPS bulb (88000 lumens) and a regular HPS (80000) for backup. Turned out he was out of Supers and offered a dual arc (61000) for the same price. I like the idea of the broader spectrum but how is it for spitting up the wattage.

Here's some links.

This link is interesting and shows a couple of Artemis bulbs. Seems like they have a Chinese and U.S. plant. Other than that I'm having a hard time finding any info on this company.

hey duchieman, as long as you ain't a wolf you can come in, lol.

sorry can't help with the wattage question, but I am sure someone on here will know.....looks like a decent purchase though.

peace, DST

in a 12/12 from seed grow there is no change in the light cycle to cause any realization that its time to bloom. the only point in time a weed plant can flower either male or female is once its reached sexual maturity. i quote the cannabis grow bible, "...the plant must be mature enough to present its sex. An immature plant will not show sex because initial calyx development is not photoperiod-related." "...sex is not genetically determined until the third week of growth." you do have a point on the autoflowers as i dont have any experience or info on that. alternading nodes on branching is well known way to tell sex but i understand completely that some strains and seeds may not do it until after showing pre flowers or being put in flower.

Country- sounds like you can combine both your clone and veg area to save space and time of a dividing wall for a seperate room. i like the idea of the home-made SCROG on wheels, cant wait to see how that plays out.

1BMM- good looking buds! nice amount of different strains as well!
No offense littlegrower but of course there is no change in light schedule with a 12/12 from seed grow. In a 12/12 from seed grow, it's the twelve hours of uninterrupted dark that signals the plant to bloom even though it is not sexually mature. That is what I mean when I say in a 12/12 from seed grow you are forcing the plants to bloom because they are sexually immature. If a plant does not determine its sex until week three, how come in a 12/12 from seed grow you can see plants starting to flower before the end of week three? How can they be flowering or producing balls when the bible clearly states a plant does not determine its sex until the third week? What I think he is talking about is if you are growing and using a normal six week veg cycle. I also take what he is saying about a plant being mature enough to present its sex as meaning before the plant will naturally start to show pre-flowers. Once a plant naturally starts to show pre-flowers, it's sexually mature. I've grown and harvested plants that have never alternated nodes.

Does anyone own a vacuum food storage thingy? You know where you can put a piece of steak in one of those machines that vacuum seals the bags to prevent freezer burn and help keep your food fresher longer?

If anyone does and is happy with the way it performs, I would like some recommendations. I need to ship a care package up north and I want to vacuum seal the weed, put it in a jar and then vacuum seal the whole jar before packing and shipping it.

i would imagine most vacum sealers do as they are advertised to do. i just don't like the idea of putting weed in it, squashes the hell out of it. i like the idea of putting it in a jar then vac packing it, i vote you should use that option

Can I ask if this needs to go under the radar??? If so please be advised that vacuum sealing will not mask the smell in the slightest. The smell will within hours permeate the bag, all materials have micro sized holes in it even though they are not big enough to let say.. water particles through they will defenitely permeate the scent of weed given enough time. What sort of time?? In my experience within 6 hours your window is gone.

I think I would go with that option as well. Bag the weed, insert in jar, fill spaces with coffee, put lid on and seal. Or if you can get anaseed then that otta work, thats how the moroccan blocks I use to get turned up. Individually wrapped, then coated with anaseed powder, then wrapped again. Then wrapped again with yet more anaseed....fukkin pain in the arse but! Perhaps a next day delivery option if possible...good luck mate.

Good luck whatever decision you make, nothing worse than losing merchandise. you may have seen this already but it is useful.

I agree. You know you've got a great one when you'll put no one else before her, other than kids of course, and when you've got a pretty good sense she feels the same. Mine is right by me solid, 17yrs and stronger than ever.

with any of the food vacuum sealers you would be good. because actually those are made differently than your regular ziplock bag, they keep take all of the air out of the bag and seal it completely. letting no "AIR" in or out. no matter how long it sits.the problem is the outside of the bag. if any of the stuff touches the outside of from fingers or anything it could be detected. the putting it in a jar is not a bad idea either. now im just telling you about vacuum seal bags, because in my opinion, regardless of how you try to stealth it , i dont think shipping it is that much of a good idea in the first place. i just dont think risking yourself getting put out there is worth it. because you might get away with it, but what "IF" you dont. are you prepared to deal with what "MIGHT" happen if you do get caught. just my opinion brother.



PEACE!!!

Well said...+rep for that one.

@Heads Up:
With vaccuum sealers, there are lots of different ones and they use different types and thicknesses of materials for wrapping/sealing. I'll dig mine out when I get back home in a few hours and let you know what it is and what it cost us. I can't say it's the best because I don't know that much about them but I can tell you that mine works very well and keeps food good in the freezer for a really long time.

Hey Jamexican, welcome and thanks for posting your pics.

I am liking the looks of the afghan widow. I smoked an afghan widow about 15 years ago that was the fekking bomb!! Never seen any decent equivalents though, but she looks real nice.

Did you cut the cheese? Looks like it could have gone a bit more, but looks like you have reached your height there.

Endlscycle, hope the trim is going well....looks like I'll need to get started on some tomorrow. Got a busy day.

Westy, let me check that link mate, will get back to you on it.

So 600 thongs, is that what you want?...I do like me lady in a thong, perhaps I could get her to design Roger getting up to shenanigins of some sort down there........mmmn, the possibilities are endless eh;-)
Ohh sorrry the pics up top is my current grow and the pics below are my last grow harvested about 3 weeks ago. I made some changes since my last grow, since I had some problems. I started the flowering the my Blue Cheese & Aghan Widow 2 1/2 weeks before the Querkle. This is because the Blue Cheese towered over the Querkle and didn't give it enough light last grow. And with the Querkle this time I grew it out Fimmed it a couple of times until it was a 16" bush then threw her into flower with the Blue Cheese and Afghan Widow. I also threw some SOG wire on the walls to manage the two blue cheese in the back and Aghans in the front. Now the plants are all recieving the same amount of light with the lights closer, and I'm liking it :-o. Finally Added some Liquid Cool Bloom to the mix with my plants about 2-4 weeks into flower, so hopefully they will start filling out over the next couple of weeks. Then finish them off with the powda Koolbloom!! Sorry smoked a hash oil and Blue Cheese joint before writing this ramble.
