growinman's grow

Bummed.......got screwed on those lights on CL..... Went to ppick them up and someone had came and given him $200 a set, after he made a deal with me. Wanted to beat him down good, fucking punk! ......thought better of it....

Not near floods, sb, but stranded on an island just the same......took 3 hrs to trim up those two girls I chopped last night.......haha(I got the 'haha' from you yah know)

wow man there looking really really good not to mention super sticky and vert tasty cant wait till there all don are you going to run a preputual SoG type grow or are you gonna veg then flower grow on bro grow on!

Hey there growdrowithme!
Thanks for the comments!
I always try to keep something perpetual----but still fine tuning it. I always have one main harvest a month and usually experimental plants(moms, different systems, etc) a couple of times a month. My hopes are that I will get it down to one preferable system that works good for me that I can max out and harvest once a month....so I would only have two seperate systems and harvest one a month.......
The room in the pics is 12/12 only: I am vegging now elsewhere(Mazar x Afghan and SS) for the AF20. It should be open/cleaned and ready again by the 22nd?

Last night I ended up changing out the AF's res....... I was going to start flushing but decided to go another few days with fresh bloom nutes- the calaxes were showing more new growth and getting fatter! I went 800ppm Canna Aqua Flores a&b, heavy cannazyme and boost; nothing for the N def..... So the res is at 800ppm, pH 5.8, 70degrees. I 'll see how they look tonight and tomorrow night and decide whether or not to move into flush mode....... I may get in there before the sun comes up and get a pic or two.

Have a great Sunday!

well, never got any pics before the lights came on the other day so I haven't been in there close enough to 12/12 time to get any good pics.... I had surgery yesterday on my hand so I am completely lame----typing is hard.........whaaaaaaaaaa
So here are a few pics from Monday before I went to the hospital.


The AF20 at day 49. They are at 24" tall and all of the buds are as big and hard as a golf ball


Sorry about the red! They are back in flush mode and should be done this weekend....already getting a few amber trics.....


Been working in the room trying to get this other table going; I have 10 young ladies waiting to be moved in......it is now set up in the very left front of this pic....



This is the coolest air diffuser I 've seen!!



Well, my hand is shot--I may try more later........

haha.........just stole this from Canna's mag

Okay, a couple before the lights came on today-------then I have to go put 8 in a new table I have ready to go............

Day 50 12/12


This is the table ready to go with 1000ppm GH Flora series(@ 2, 2, 2per gal) pH @ 5.8-24hrs stable, res @ 68degrees. It will flood hourly for 1 minute which gets it 4" deep. The pots are filled 4" deep with hydroton w/4" cube on top.

I am putting 8 of these pots in here and that's just a 400hps until I can steal the 1000 from the AF..

tat2you, can you figure which of these is which??
Mazar x Afghan and THC Bomb.......Is it the Mazar with the real meaty leafs???


Gotta go load up that table!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmm, some lovely lady buds you got there.
great job.

Thanks for stopping by heftamga!! The comment means a lot coming from a grower such as yourself. I dream of growing on the scale you do! I 'll really be watching your ak47 as I 've heard some really interesting stuff about it!



Well, I ended up putting 5 SS and 3 MoonFlower in that table. I really want to see how my MF does in the hydro----would be the complete bomb if I could get some good sized stems going.........

Wow.........change of plans........and I just harvested the 10 SS ladies out of the AF20.......still need to trim.....

this is the change of plans:


You can use your imagination! It's 35 4" sites with twice the space of my GH AF20......


So I 'll be back to finish this journel with a dry weight on the 10 girls so I can say I have a completed journel........

Off to trimming land for the night........Have a great weekend!

WOW!!!!! way to go and i love the change of plans by the way the 35 sites is really nice those buds looked reallly good you did a dam fine job

Thanks Man! Yeah, just got the dry weight and it only ended up turning out to be 19.........haha There were 3 plants that I couldn't really see until I chopped and ended up with probably only a 1/4zip....so when you consider that, the rest had to have had well over 2! Now for a 5 day jar cure..............

Yeah, and the change of plans............. Well, I was all set to run the AF again and fill it with 20, so that's what I have vegged and ready to go in there tonight. I cleaned it out real well, and it's now been running about 20 hrs with just plain pHed h2o.....Was thinking to do a run using just the GH 3-part Flora Series instead of the Canna........still deciding...... I have gallons of both.
I am setting up that system with 35 sites right here in the house for right now....... I am going to go through it and probably make some mods to it and fine tune it. I pm'd a couple of people to get some ideas on redoing the sprayer lines, etc.........well, I have a month roughly before I can run it now anyway: it will completely fill my flower room only leaving barely enough room to squeeze around the outside of it. So I will have to add another play room(lab---haha) to mess around in this summer.

Should have gotten a pic of the awesome roots(6' long) that came out in one piece...........
But here she is, ready to go:

see that bubble action in the second pic?? Like a turbo all the way down there----which is why I dont think I want to turn my new one into a StinkBud Style one....... I am liking/learning what the tubes that raise and lower do.................duh

Here's the new diy table with eight in her----5 SS, 3 MF. The table in the back has 2 SS, 1 MA, 1 THCBomb----the MA and TB are slow as fuk, compared to the SS buds!

SS budage---about all I have to look at right atm. Then there's still the MA lady I almost killed about a month ago with the goGnats spray-----I have pics in this journel of leaves over 2" wide on her....


yeah, yeah,...........sorry 'bout the hps pics.......I rarely go in there and disturb them when the lights are out.....and rarely catch it just before the change---------it's not like it's where I stay............
Have a great week! I 'll be back and finish this this coming weekend!

Got in there before the lights tonight.........got the AF loaded up nicely..





Now back to work on the new system..............

whats the deal above with the hydroton pellet in between the plugs and big cubes

Thanks! Yes, I KNOW you are right----my older ones are tinted green......dry. I only flood the hydroton by flood so rw is dry--but I know, just the same. Thanks ru8fru!

but wow u got some serious equipment! You could do some serious damage with the right strain and growing conditions. Yeah anything serious seeds is awesome, they are all purebred, thats why they only have like 5 strains. The ak has won like 11 awards. They also have bgum, kali mist, white russian, and chronic. I love ak for the way it grows and just everything about it, I would suggest a strong indica plant for that setup tho.
