Jig, do you use purple maxx or gravity along with your BM use?

Click to expand...

Fred... you have been studying too hard my friend? We've pm'd each other many times about my gravity use.... dope, haha.

I have a bottle of Purple Maxx... but I am afraid to use it.

And yes I use gravity... I'll break it all down here for all to read if you want. I will definitely talk about it when I start on it this grow.

I've used the Gravity twice and Bushmaster twice. Both times with each I was happy with the results... but like I told you before, I never ran a side by side, so I cannot vouch for the difference they make.

All I know is that I've used them and I love the buds I get... be it from them or whatever else.

Also... they seem expensive, but you use hardly any of it. Plus they let you use less nutes... so you save a bit of money there.

Lastly, the elepant is definitely good luck. I got it as a gift... I think anyting you get as a gift is good luck.

Peace brother... I got another video uploading. Check back soon... I'm posting it up just for you.

LOL! As i wrote that question, I was thinking, "man you have asked him this before" but I just kept on asking because I couldn't remember for sure. A combination of finishing school, understaffing at my work, and some damn good weed seems to have made me forget many things including our PMs which I am now going through, hah, yes I admit.

Ill bb soon for the vid then, should be good to get high to!

EDIT - Oh crap its up already, welp, time to get the binger then!

FANTASTIC video and a great job so far! I am truly impressed with this setup.

Damn, Jig!
Big cajones takin' on that V, man.
Big stones=Big rewards, eh?!!

Glad I didn't know about this from the beginning...
...I'd have been buggin' ya' for updates! Ha!
(Nice to sorta' 'TiVo through till the grand finale' though)

I'm building a cab a little like you described earlier in your journal. It's jumbled around in my current journal if you've got interest. I wanna' know when you're on that project as well, Amigo.(sooner this time)

Well, glad I made it, albeit late.
...you won't be able to keep my ass outa' here now! HA!

Thanks, man!

Looking great Jig, might be able to pull double what you pulled last time that would be nice!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I should have put a disclaimer, That is not my plant. I just took the pics on my camera.
Btw, I'm gonna bring a bag of snickers and reese's cups to replace the one's we ate. Lol My bad.

Also, I didn't see if you had mentioned it already about all the little buds that were shooting out of the back of the screen. I think anyone doing this style should keep in mind to leave a way to get to the back of the screen to push all those little stagglers through. I wish one of us would have thought to break the camera out at the beginning of switching everything out.

The new video's looking good but I didn't see the soil plants. Are they looking any better?

What would double of last time be?

I know uh! I kinda like this vertical style. Might be fun to give a go in the cabinet with vert scrog.

Thats why I am here buddy.

Alright guys... seriously... who are all these people, haha. No but for real... I'm loving the influx of new visitors, many of whom are new to RIU (last couple months at least). Are all of you people who went back to school for the year and decided this would be the year to start growing?

My timing was around new years. It was like a new years resolution to start growing or somthing. Whatever... I'm just stoked to have you all.

Welcome FreeLeaf, SomeGuy, Lt Shiny Sides

oh really??? said:

so wait i know i missed it but how long did you veg? oh and thanks for pm-ing me about this jig.

Click to expand...

I vegged them about 8 weeks (i think, haha).

No worries about the PM... I'm glad you made it over. After I sent it I kinda felt like a pompous dick... like I have the answer to something. Then I got over it... now I feel silly for ever feeling silly. Ha. How's that for adding meaning to where there was none.

For sure... I like to think of it like a game. You can only win a game as big as the one you are playing... you know. I mean, you can't win the super bowl, if you never play in the super bowl. So start playing already (and I don't mean you mcfunk, just folks in general).

Very happy to have you along for the ride. I like your attitude.

I can definitely get into the screen access thing later. It's late.

I think we were lucky we remembered the camera at all... i feel like someone made us smoke something... or something.

Soil plans looking better after the feeding... still tiny though, I've rearrenged the screens a bit, so there is less room for the soil. I don't even want them around much becuase if they shade the big girls at all, I'm losing weight... so I don't want them in the way. Not really sure what I'm gonna do. For now they are in the closet one on the stand I made and one on the ground. Poor little things.

That post looks so funny. It looks like your avatar is saying "what would double last time be?" with an attitude.

Last grow was 11.2 oz dry. So double would be about 22. Funny you mention it hulk becuase that is exactly what my wife said today... she said it looks like I'm going to get at least double my first grow. I hope you guys are right. I would guess 22 oz would look like 12 CJ and 10 SG. Or even 13, 9. The Sour grape doesn't look very 'fat' but I'm sure it's going to be tasty.

The Sour Grape is SOOOOOO covered in trichs. I just can't get a good pic of them. Sorry.

I'm so stoked I'm can stoke you guys on vert a little. It's a lot of fun for sure... at least doing what I'm doing.

Thanks again to everyone for stopping by.

jigs... looking TRULY remarkable. that is just one massive... bush. i am completely blown away and love the pics looking down on the grow.

and man, i'm just like you, scared to death to use purple maxx. i've been doing a lot of homework on it and though i know what i want to do, i feel like i'm holding a bottle of poison. i think i'm going to venture into it this coming weekend so stay tuned (and wish me luck).

i can barely keep up with your journal with your massive following. congrats. and btw, while googling HCO's products, i came across your journal on another website. are you cheating on us RIU'ers? haha.

That would be an awesome yield for the setup. I would consider 11 ounces awesome for that. Good job..... Avatar is for the holidays.........

happy thanksgiving to you and your family jig, hope you had a great weekend!!!

Hows everything in your world Jig?

Hey Kevin... thanks for the kind wished. My Thanksgiving was great. Shared with my Parents and Wife. We had a grand spread, and all got along quite well.

I hope you had a good one too my friend. And I hope your boy got some turkey as well. I think about him a lot.

Take care bud.

Pretty awesome. First snow came on Friday night. Started about 11pm as hail sorta stuff. Woke up to a few inches everywhere. Beleive it or not... this was my very first time sledding. I've snowboarded for years, but I've never gone down the snow on my butt before. Pretty fun, but snowboarding has it's advantages.

I also threw in some shots of life around the house with the kids. The suset is looking out our bedroom window. The street is about 100 ft. from our driveway... we live 50 ft. from the National Forest. The cat standing does that for maybe 30 sec to a Min. She likes smelling my hand after I pet the outdoor cats. The ones inside stay inside and the outside stay out. Those are brothers together on the stepstool and in the bath as well.

The next shot shows the beginning of the storm... then our street and stairs. Then the big driveway near... for the ultimate test. Oh man... I totally hit a tree on my last run... my jewels flashed before my eyes, haha.

Luckily my roof is holding up... no drips of any sort falling into the grow room.... looks like things will work out till harvest. The real test will be when we get 3 feet of snow.

looks like a nice hiliday.. very pretty. Reminded me of upstate NY. Keep it up!

Very nice, even if i cant live up there right now at least you hook us up with pics gotta love that thanks man.

And here's some green to go with the others.

Also... I've given up on the soil plants. Massive fail on that. I'm going to keep them alive, see what I can harvest, but they aren't getting any good light becuase they'd just be steeling from my big girls.

I haven't given up on soil for good... just for now.

Oh well.

The big girls are looking lovely as usual Jig, always nice to see them in the bright light. I like the way GypsyBush put it, something like "Hydro is just adding numbers, soil takes wizardry" or something along those lines. And I think it is true. Hydro seems a little intimidating but it is so much easier to diagnose problems and properly feed your plants. I will never go back to soil

that’s just bull shit man i won’t put up with it never give up, i know you said you didnt but you kind of have it in your head so shut up don’t listen to yourself, your just being dumb right now!!!

Alright that said

NOW we build, been thinking about what you said a long time ago when you first started the grow.
go grab some shelving materials. Attach it to your door use those plastic inserts if no studs even liquid nails would work, then you might have to cut the shelf so it fits put your soil plants and bam back in business, i hope

Oh yea the screens look great cant wait to see what you get! going to be allot of fun watching tell the end now we got snow just gets better!!

man this is great. Ive read all 55 some pages on this guy and I have to commend you on your work so far. Good job. Good job dealing with the crushing reality of pM. I'm excited to see some one else growing the CJ and the Head Band. I'm working with mothers of both and hope to bust out some vertical action here shortly.
