1974 I remember working at a hamburger joint, Bill Murry has a hat from this place cant say its name, where I would use it as a front even back then lol Plate of food on the counter, baggie of weed under the plate. Shit the night manager would rip money from the register to pay for his weed ha ha

Well I almost feel like calling one of my new crosses after John Holmes, hopefully some of them will have donkey colas, but hopefully nice hard ones, not soft long and squidgy like Mr Holmes was reputed to be....ok, enough of that $hit....lets get back to my DOG's.....

So this is the DOG1 for the 600 club, and one of it's older sisters. The DOG1 went pretty much straight into 12/12 after about a week of veg. Funny to see avertically grown plant, most of the growth goes to one side of the plant. I have taken a pic so you can see the difference. The Big DOG is a mighty one, of Great Dane proportions, her colas are swelling up fantastically, and she smells oh so moorish....very much taking on the OG sweet but sickly off smell to her. Anyway's here's the pics....coming up for week 6 of 12/12 tomorrow.

DOG1, (N.B nothing like Airforce1)

And the other side of DOG1



And one of the bigger DOGs...as you can see, this is very viney like the OG pheno's. She is loverly:-P








Oh, and a little brucey bonus - Headband Blackjack cross

hey guys, thanks for the visits.

Went off to find a de-humidifier, why is it so hard to find anything in Holland, alright if you want to heat something up, but taking water out of the air, oh no, why would we need them, we only live under the sea. I would have though they would have whole shops dedicated to it....I ended up at a place similar to Dixons in the UK....they had like 2 to choose from...ffs. Looks like I'll order from t'internet!

hahah totally youd think with all the growers over there that there'd be a surfeit of dehumidifier shops. internet will probably give you a better price anyway man

one fo the lads on the 600 was saying to make sure to get a digital.....I guess I just need to look for one properly on t'web

digital will let you set room humidity whereas mine i just turn on in the morning and off when i get in. difference in price is quite substantial if your looking at say a 20L one

Not exactly sure what your setup is, but you can't run a digital dehuey with an atmospheric controller - you need one witih an auto-restart function for that, and they are all manual with knobs (as far as I know).

The plants in post #2545 look great, BTW.

thanks mate, I do like the upshot as well. And I am digging this new set up, far more efficient than that last one. I like the steps from my previous set but I think with the floor being clear it's ideal for a scrog and cutting down the number of plants (which is my aim in the medium term.) I can also set up a vertical screen as well, but that leaves me with less flexibility for taking them out and giving them a bit of maintanence...we shall see. I have a Casey Jones on one of the shelfs and she fell off the other night when we were sitting watching TV. Just heard the clatter...because the plant grows forward, when it had used up its water the pot had become light (it was also balancing on top of another pot) and it had leaned too far forward and toppled over. I know have it hooked up to a safety string which I have test and it holds it, haha.
Anyway, midnight snacks..,,
I'm actually in the process of trying to decide the best way to setup a vertical SCROG for my PVC thingy, so let's share with each other when we figure something out, eh?

I think I have got an idea lready....will probably be tweaked, lol.

So at the moment my veg girls are in a vertical light. No biggy really, but helps. I think I will have a Y shaped (or similar) trellis in each pot. I am thinking I can use canes easily for this. Vegging the girls will give them the right shape to start growing on one side. Then I will hang my net along the length of each of my shelfs and train from there. The Y gives the plant support, the net is there to train the bud sites through. Alternatively I may set up singular scrogs for each plant, depends on my set up.....as you know, we growers are constantly changing our minds. Thanks for the visit Bob.
