Jigfresh's Grow #3 - Flooded Tube Vertical - Querkle, Odyssey - 1000w

damn thats alot more focus and concentration than im capable of...lol..i would have to release a youtube response to answer that many ppl back...impressive...lol

yea im a gurl....allday...lol....but my man has desensitzed my ears to foul language and im quite the filthy sailor myself so its all good..lol

Hey Jig,
Looking good, Looking forward to seeing what you did in there. I think they look great, and would have no worries....... Nothing like a little airport/airplane ruckus to get your blood running...... Put a smile on my face. I am FINALLY sub'd over, and I will be around more as I am on the last half of flowering my crop..... Looking good. Keep it up.

lol where do these people come from that wont confront the people sitting in their seats but will try and defend taking yours that logic is flawless

So here we are still with things out of control. I just never showed you guys these pics:

Here you can see how far away from the screen they grew:

Here's a couple pics of the killer stretch:

I started tieing her up from the top. The top halves are tied back in this pic:

12/12 and some tied back plants:

My wife's camera is awesome at taking out the orange:

This is the top of the Odyssey:

And a parting shot:

12/12 already, nice job. That has really reduced your veg time a lot and the screen looks pretty full there bru. Love the last pic!!!

PEace, DST

That's some growth Heavy stretching...looking like my NL stretch, remember? GL keeping that jungle under control Tarzan! Supercrop time?

pce, CaL

lookin good jig...u can bring down some of those tall branches and weave them back thru the screen back into the more intense light ...but lookin good

I'm closing in on 3000 posts... in a little over a year. That's not too bad. I think my level of addiction to RIU is managable, don't you guys? (haha... maybe not the right people to ask)

So I know I gave you all some pics, but didn't really explain what is going on. It's all happening over here. Just not in a good way. Let's see, I have 3 major problems (and some minor ones too). The 3 biggies are:

1. The 1000w ballast I got doesn't work. I'm going to see about getting some money back over the next couple days. I'm going to order a new one. Delivered from my favorite website a 1000w switchable is only $170. Not bad at all. Now let's just hope the bulb I picked up works.

2. The Powdery Mildew is back. Sucks man. I don't really want to spray them this time, so I looked into a diy sulphur burner. I hooked that up yesterday, I'll need to take some pics. I don't really know how to use the sulphur burner, but it works.

3. My hydro system is malfunctioning!!! I guess what's happened is the roots on the last plant are totally overtaking the dam. So basically it is damed up almost completely. The other night I transfered new water in there... the pump took it to the tube, and the water just kept filling up the tube till it ran out the empty plant spot. I woke up with a few gallons on the floor and a wonder of how it got there. Some messy experimenting and I found the issue. How to correct this issue is an interesting question. Not really sure right now. I am sure of one thing. This grow is totally an experiment. I am really hoping to just get a harvest at this point. And if I get there I'm guessing it will be a small harvest as the plants only have a 250w on them now. Will be a bigger version of my Purple Kush grow, when I kept them under fluoros for veg and first 4 weeks of flower. I only got 2.5 ounces but damn were they good. Maybe that will be this time too. Only a few ounces but really killer as they will have a 1000w beating them down later.

In other news I gave the girls a dose of the BushMaster. Keep that stretch down. As always they stopped growing on contact. I left the BM in for 48 hours this time becuase I was lazy. I didn't see any ill effect so I didn't see a need to change right away after 24 hours.

After that I gave them their first dose of mixed nutes. A little over half Flower nutes with some veg nutes mixed in. The leaves are nice and dark green so I feel comfortable riding this level of N out to the end. These are supposed to be 8 week plants, so that's a plus.

I have been picking alot of growth. All the little junk in the middle I've taken off. I guess I'm slowly lollipopping them. Not really sure, just picking stuff that looks like it will be tiny popcorn buds. I'm sick of trimming those little suckers. Plus... don't we all agree that picking little stuff like that should make the buds left bigger with redistribution of growing power?

I'm really stressed at my grow right now, but it's coming along. I'll show you guys my ghetto sulphur burner in a bit.

Damn.... I gotta get vaca pics up. I'll do that.

peace

EDIT: The fourth pic is of the Green House Seed Co building. You can kinda see the GreenHouse sign in the middle.

Mellow Yellow is the first "coffeeshop" in Amsterdam.

Sensi Seeds shops window. These pics are taken from the sidewalk.

After the seeds the pics are of Sweden. Up until the IKEA. The ones after that are Denmark.

I rode a prop plane from Copenhagen to London. Landed at City... that was different.

Last two shots are of England. Gotta love the kids playing football. Not something you see in the states for sure.

Hope you all enjoyed my trip.

1. Can't you hook up that 400W you used last grow till you sort the 1000W "problem" out? Shouldn't you get a new ballast since it didn't work?

2. Never had powdery mildew nor have I used a sulphur burner...GL!

3. Try make a "bendy" extention to the tube before it runs into the "reservoir" to get some more space for roots...iono! You're early in flower so I don't really see it making a dif if you get your lights in 2-3 days

Don't worry be happy! I'm sure you'll ride the storm out

Nice Amsterdam pics!

Wonderful Wonderful updates.

Amazing travel shots from around the world. You are officially my latest inspiration to travel. I am a very social person and I am a bit nervous about traveling alone. It is so hard to find common time between friends to travel. Its OK for right now I will travel via your pictures. Thanks for sharing.


As far as the plants go, they look great and healthy. I am sure your already know that a lot of people have worked off your idea. But I think I might be getting next in line to do a jig style grow. I have just been too busy to read all the old posts. I will have to follow this very closely.

BTW I love Big Bear, if I am lucky I usually go there with some fam and friends to enjoy a little vacation once a year. Those little vacation cottages are very nice. Got damn bad economy has killed any vacation time.

Oh yeah forgot to mention that really sorry to hear about PMs return.
A sulphur burner definitely works, but in late flowering if you don't want to run the sulphur burner and PM shows up you can try this products called Green Cure. You can use till the very end, it is completely organic and has minimal to very low side effects. Haven't read your old threads so sorry if you already know about GC.

Everyone... I'm totally at a loss.

I think I'm killing my plants!!!!!!!

I don't know what is going on. I guess it's the sulphur that I didn't do right. Lol... I don't even want to ask... but do you think it's bad that the sulphur in the burner lit on fire. It was like this blue flame. And I'm sure the air it released was toxic. Damn, I'm screwing this grow up.

I got some sick ass looking leaves. Some are curling, some are clawing, some are horning, some are turning a strange orange gold color. It looks like a metal coating.

Plus the hydro system is still non operational. I'm just filling up the tubes once a day. I need to get that dam fixed.

What should I do???

In the pics I included a shot of the biggest stalk. You can see where I have been picking growth. Reminds me of how the underneath of the flat screen used to look.

Thanks everyone

EDIT: 3000th post. WOOOOO HOOOOOO... I think this calls for a salad blunt with some hash in it.

Do you guys know the term 'Salad bowl' for when you pack a bowl with a bunch of different strains. I'm gonna light up a salad blunt. I have 4 strains for it. Should ge good.

Hi Jig,

Nice holiday pics. Bet you enjoyed the prop plane!!! Sorry to hear about your problems. If I remember correctly you had dams in the pipes. Would removing them be of any help, or is it not possible to remove them? Well not sure about the leaves but they look pretty damaged by something. Perhaps hold off on thee sulphur see if the problem stops. Did you order the 1000w ballast? Perhaps using a 600 and the existing 400 you got to spread the light vertically in your cupboard...just a thought ( or did you sell the 400...my brains not working tonight.haha. If the powder sulphure worked before, fuk haters on youtube and do yer thing.

Well bru, hope you get your probs sorted, I am sure you can pull it off. I have....

I sold the 400. All I have now is a 150w HPS, a 250w MH, and a 250w HPS. But the 150w, and 250w MH only have horizontal bulbs.

I'm sure I'll figure somthing out, lol.

Thanks for the love my friend. I ended up with 10 oz of Casey Jones and 4 oz Sour Grape off the vert screen last run.

I'm bout to blaze this blunt. 1.70 grams of herb and about 10 little bits of hash. Don't expect much from me after this, haha.

I'm bumpin the Confidense as I spark it. Thanks D.

EDIT: If you listen closely you might be able to hear my subwoofer in Amsterdam. I was going to sit next to it... but it's hurting my eardrums, lol. Happy monday all.

Enjoy that salad bowl, J - think I'll pop out to the potting shed for a bedtimer.....OG Kush me thinks, with sprinkles, haha. Have a good one lad, the streets of the Dam are missing ya bru!

Peace out,

D

Not to worry, you'll bump them back on track!

Nice travel pics

I started a grow journal of the Headbands, we'll see how that goes *crosses fingers*

Man, I haven't stopped by in a few days. Thanks for sharing the pics Jig. The one of the path and the red house is such an awesome picture, I could print it out and hang it on my wall. Very nice! Good job managing those plants man and not getting overwhelmed as can easily happen. They will bounce back, but I would back off on the sulfer for a minute. Have you tried the GreenCure, it supposed to really knock the pm down? Thanks again for the Amsterdam tour

Never messed with sulfur but I had the same problem with leaks out of a few sites....I cut/sawed the dams out with a sharp knife to get the water flowing again. Not sure what your dams are made of but I'd knock'em down.

man sorry to hear the issues, hope u figure shit out asap
