Shit son! I want one of those round, shiny, silver things now. Who makes it?

You gotta go see the fireworks, it's just what you do up there. I took my girl to stay at Lake Arrowhead for her Bday in July 2005 but had just missed the fireworks.

I like to make out under fireworks, it's like my first Brady kiss all over again...

You are just around the ridge from Snow Summit, the BEST snowboarding park in California, and the some of the best downhill mountain biking. Take the chair-lift and your bicycle to the top and ride down over and over and over again. Mountain Biking Big Bear

not much of a work out but its fun
hahahaha I laugh at everyone who says that... Especially when we reach the bottom and they are nowhere in site. (That is only funny if the person who says that at least tries to stay at the same pace as the others doing the ride). I find downhill MTB to be the best entire body workout I get in the shortest amount of time.

You guys are too active. You need to smoke some and sit on the couch a bit. All this talk of activity is making me feel lazy.

That does look like fun, though. I've only gone downhill on a snowboard, never tried the bike. Do the runs last about as long on a bike as a board/skis? I would imagine Mammoth being awesome, but would you be wore out by the bottom of that big old mountain?

So, this summer are we have a RIU field trip to the mountain or what?

Feel free to keep talking about whatever in not upset about it, but do you guys have a guess on the little tips of only two of my leaves cupping a bit.

I was reading and it seems like it could be a few things. The light is far enough away, I don't think I'm over or underwatering. Temp is 80 F. Hum 40%. wTemp 72. 390 ppm. Fan blowing over plants (not too strong). I'm not too worried about it, they seem happy otherwise, and seem to be growing the tiniest bit. I may just be imagining it.

These are pics of other leaves that look a bit sad. Any guesses?

pic1: plant 1 - Hindu Skunk - Spots on one leaf

pic2: plant 3 - Hindu Skunk - Cupping on two leaves

pic3+4: plant 4 - Hindu Skunk - 'skinny' looking leaves, don't know how to describe only not 'full' like others

pic5: plant 6 - White Widow - 'skinny', just kinda sad looking. I don't know if you can see but the middle of the leaf is looking lighter green/ almost yellow, compared to the outside of leaf.

Note: the snow has NOT found it's way through the roof into the grow room :bigjoint:

I like the the field trip idea. I say we do a day trip; bring some samples, smoke & trade, then ride some bikes... Take a break; grab a brew, smoke & trade, then ride bikes... I will be watching the website to see when they are open for the summer season and will keep you posted.

Jig, check this out

and this for sure (SAVE THIS people)

Big Bear MTB <------------Click me (only one time noobie...)

[I always laugh when people click on things 2x's when they only need to do one click, then they complain about all those friggin windows that are open or how slow the puter is... lol]

I have a Kona, Stinky.

I was there in 2006 and had some issues with my bike. It seems that they Mountees are trying to keep the hardcore riding to a minimum and only allow bikes with 3 chain rings and less than 6 inches of travel in the rear. I removed my bashguard and added a 3rd sprocket because I wanted the extra push going downhill anyhow, and can adjust rear to have less travel..

I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about, with all your hardrocks and rings and sprockets. They rent that stuff right? You guys got spares? I don't have any gear, and I probably wouldn't fit anything you have. Even though I've never done it, I'm quite capable (i think). Not to say it's easy, but I was always good on a bike and I like charging (snow/skateboard, blades, biking, sufing...). You guys aren't going to be embarassed when I dust you all day my first time out are you?

I was messing with my camera and tried the manual setting. I don't know what I did, just changed some stuff to other than default. They came out really good. The plants aren't much different from any previous pictures, but here they are:

...cuz I'm drumming up some roots.

I woke up this morning to see the girls looking real good. Noticed the slightest bit of growth, very minimal. But when I picked net pot up to measure pH and such, what did I see but a little root. Nice.

I found multiple roots on 3 of them, a single root on 1, and nothing visible on 2. It really interesting to notice the different characteristics of each plant. I'm keeping notes on what things each plant has as strong/ weak points, so that I can try to connect them to what happens by harvest.

Because this is my first time, I don't know if it is better to have bigger, stronger looking fan leaves, or for the plant to have thicker stems, etc. Very interesting though.

I think you can also see in the pics how I rigged the airstones to stay just below the net pots. I used 4 square pieces from the root netting, cut 1 end to hang on the net pot, and cut the other to snake the airline through.

I think the roots head for the bubbles, because the one plant by the meter, I forgot to hook back up last night, so the airstone was off to one side. That plants roots were all coming out that side with none poking through the bottom.

I also changed the lighting to 20/4 to give the girls a little rest. I did that after the first day just forgot to mention.

I've been trying to adjust the light. I took it down 2 chain links, but it seemed like the plants didn't respond great, so I moved it back 1 link. That's where it is now, around 27" from the top of plants.

Thanks for the continued help guys, it's exciting to see my little girls growing.

It's also snowing like crazy, which is fun because a bunch of flatlanders came up for the holiday weekend and I'm going to watch them dig all day with their kids screaming how cold it is and their wives complaining they aren't going fast enough.

Plants are looking good. I just thought about correcting the pH, I'll do that after this update. I've been misting alot with distilled water. There are roots visible on all 6 plants. The roots that were visible this morning are bigger, some much bigger.

My Liquid Light is in my PO Box, just can't get there. My other supplements are scheduled to arrive tomorrow via FedEx, but I don't know if they will be able to get here or not. The Ro filter is set to come wednesday, but we'll see about that too.

Thanks for the help the past couple days, you guys have made the transition of bringing my girls home much less stressful.

fucking...sweet dude. Where did u find the netting? It looks much more durable than mine.
Stuff is seriously durable. Like I said in my earlier post, you definitely need a heat gun to make the stuff not 'rolled up'. Found it at Home Depot, by all the chicken wire. Hardware cloth they call it. I paid between $8 - 12, I'm going to make a complete list soon so you can check back for what i paid. Here's a link to something similar:
