DillWeed's 2009 summer grow journal: Two Lbs. or Bust! (2x1000 watt HPS in grow tent)

Boulderheads said:

I agree jesse...and I don't think Dill was out of line. If you want to really learn then you read..before you ask questions. If everyone can just realize that this is "Dill's" grow journal and we should all respect his wishes.

Dill... Gypsy made a seperate forum from his grow journal for reasons like this. Maybe start a Q&A thread and link it in your sig to avoid your grow journal from being cluttered..just a thought.

Regardless..Dill has a great setup and great plants, if you really want to find out how he got from start to finish then you will take the time to read the entire journal. The longest ones are usually the best ones to take the time and read.
Cheers, Boulderhead!

Thanks, bro! Perhaps next time I will do it like that instead to keep everything in order.

Have you checked the trichs today?

How's the profile looking?

Nice, swollen calyxes? Boy oh boy, I'm excited

I checked the trichs back on Monday and the Lemon Skunk (90% cloudy, 10% amber) was ready to be chopped already, the Cheese (20% clear, 80% cloudy) was pretty close, the TrainWreck (30% clear, 70% cloudy) was also pretty close, the Great White Shark (50% clear, 50% cloudy) was a bit off and the White Widows varied from plant to plant. Oddly enough, the sativa pheno WW plants were a bit ahead of the indica pheno WW plants. I have 8 sativa phenos and 3 indica phenos in case anyone was wondering.

EDIT- I also forgot to mention the White Bang plant. It was also hovering around 50/50 clear and cloudy. Needs more time.

I also came up with a killer name for this cross as White Bang just doesn't have a nice ring to it. I was thinking about calling it Apple Jack because it smells exactly like a fresh bowl of Apple Jacks cereal (with a hint of spice) and also has the color of green apples. I guess we'll wait and see how it tastes.

This isn't fucking Greenpeace or the Salvation Army son. Dill isn't running for Congress, he's not attempting to win a PR contest or a fucking Nobel Prize.

He is trying to document his grow and share it with us at HIS leisure!

No one on here has a responsibility to do a damn thing they don't want to.

I think its funny, rude, shortsighted, and reflective of some moronic thinking that N00BS come on here and try to dictate to RIU VETS how they should run their fucking thread.

(Yes, I know, you aren't a N00b. Well quit acting like one!)

Show some proper respect, if you even know what that is. Look it up otherwise.

(Dill, this pissed me off. Hope you understand)

So you got your feelings hurt because ol' Dill just wasn't payin enough attention to you? Dude I have posted 100 comments on here that have gone ignored. It didn't cause me to argue with people about how to run their own frickin thread.

Uh, no. I never said that anywhere....You are ASSuming things.

So now you are insulting Dill and sayin his grow is "shit." Just because he asks for some respect regarding posting guidelines? You, sir, are a douchebag.

So? And your postings often sound like they were written by someone who speaks Ebonics as their native language and never heard of the concept of grammer.

Besides, I edited it and fixed it long ago...

That made no sense...How can the comment be intended for Dill but more for me? You responded to me the whole time, genius.

You're right, I do think I am better than some other members, namely you. Maybe that's because I understand respect and am not whining about how Dill didn't take time out of his life to comment back.

I bet Dill has a job, or a family, or something else in the world to do than answer your barely intelligible postings.

I am done responding to anyone other than Dill in this thread, after this posting. However, Dill I consider you as close to a friend as you can be online, and I speak up when shit comes down to it. Don't worry, I am done arguing

I think I made my point, anyway.

well i never intended to argue with anyone except you jesse...
i meant that this comment wasN'T intended for dilll but you .....
an honest mistake just like your double post
youre ruinning dills thread...

On the contrary...

Seriously though, I understand where all parties are coming from and while I'd like to cater to each and every person who stumbles onto this thread it just isn't going to happen that way. Jesse was exactly right in his estimation that this thread just isn't intended for inexperienced growers and/or the type of folks that need to ask simple questions over and over. The bottom line is that if you don't know the answer to simple questions such as light cycles and you don't take the proper time to research these things then you are never going to be a good grower.

I know my setup may not be the nicest thing in the world, but let me tell you, a newbie would be in way over his head with all of the maintenance and work it takes to grow on this scale. Especially when it is a one man job which mine is. The only time I ever bring in help is with trimming. Other than that I do everything on my own.

Basically, if you don't have $2000 up front to spend on equipment, another $100-$500 to spend on genetics, another extra $150 a month to spend on an electric bill, another extra $100 a month to spend on various odds and ends to maintain the grow then you can forget about trying to grow 2-2.5 pounds a few times a year. I doubt many newbs have three grand just laying around with nothing else to spend it on.

I think I'm going to take a break from this journal for a couple of days, but I do promise to update it at least one more time with pics before the harvest which is scheduled sometime between Monday and Wednesday next week. I'll also be posting that pre-harvest checklist in the next couple of days as well.

To all who have read and enjoyed my thread, I thank you very much for taking the time to do so. However, if you have never grown before then this probably isn't the grow you should try to replicate your first time out. I mean this in the nicest possible way, but if you aim big from the get go, you are only going to let yourself down. And with that, I will see you all in a couple of days.

Smoke up!

cheers Dill....thanks for sharing your grow man!

Can't wait for your final harvest update.

hi dill i just finished reading this whole thread. Firstly i like to thank u for doing a G J its helps out peeps like me get a better understanding and the demands on time it takes to grow . Secondly first class set up . Third your info is to the point and informative . congrats on the grow and hope you get more than a kilo

Dillweed I like your style! you remind me of a good friend of mine if hes fucked with....



thats right baby THE JESUS

sorry for the sidetrack...love the girls good on ya!

I just can't wait to see the final pics before the harvest. Also can't wait to see the harvested/trimmed product. I've been through several journals now and this is the first that was right at the moment of truth when I got to the end. I'll be watching over the next several days.

Question: Is it wierd if your mouth waters while staring at the pictures?

Point well taken dills....
but i have a couple of questions about cfl light cycles.....lol........jk

I like dills style too!!!
GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!!

Growers Unite! Dill, your journal has been giving me the chuckles for days listening to everyone. Very soon we'll be reaping the in the rewards of all of our hard work. Can't wait to see your last and final pictures.

I've just gone trough both of your threads, I'm not a native English speaker, and all i can say is:


waiting for your update!

+rep

That trainwreck looks incredibly good; I've only seen TW on par with that once before, though I'm no connoisseur

Have you had a chance to taste any of the stuff that fell off? (Sorry if you answered this already, I have really been skimming this thread as there's a lot of off topic stuff).

Wish I could find a good place to get TW from
