Hope your girl is ok K1ng !!
i got my seeds from attitude the other day .... first 2 .. 1 WW and 1 blue berry
both cracked in under a day !.... you think i should start another 2 different strains ?? or am i goin a little crazy here ?? i really want to see if all the different strains will sprout but at the same time i dont wanna waste em and have too many plants to deal with ... i still have ...durban poison,NL, wonder women, himalayan gold, blue cheese
hopefully they will send me my free power skunk... which wasnt in my package for some reason ... any way ... maybe one more .. which one should it be ????

weedman, if you can handle the load, grow the motherfuckers, lol. Variety is a good thing. Just remember though, you also have the ability to CLONE your plants. So if your growin bagseed, and you want some dank to grow, then grow your new seeds, and clone the fuck out of them that way you never have to buy that strain again, youll always have some clones ready to rock. N then just harvest the bagseed out, and keep nothin but the best in your growroom.
My light will be here today, the UPS truck usually gets here around 4pm or so, so ill be hookin everything up n takin pics as i go along. I did the ducting already in there, i just have to figure out my air intake. shouldnt be a big deal, but i have no room directly behind my growtent cuz its in a closet. So im gonna have to use one of my flange reducers, and use one of my 6" holes for air intake. no worries.
Now, on to K1Ng5p4d3s Grand fuck up of the grow ----
I took my big girl out yesterday to take a look at her n spray her with some regular water, to hopefully make her feel a little better, as she was goin through some minor problems, either due to ventilation, or because of a nutrient burn. Either way, a minor problem nothin to freak out about. So i fuckin take her down from the box, and im inspecting my nuglings, sprayin as i go along, and my wife thought it would be fun to sneak up behind me and scare me while i was doing this. Lets see if you can guess what happens next - ill give you a minute to speculate...........
*Jeopardy Music*
Anybody guess correctly?? if you did ,you get a fuckin cookie. She scared the fuckin shit out of me while i had a branch in my hand, unfortunately it was one of my main colas, so when i jumped, the bud didnt leave my hand, and i pulled on the branch. That lead to the trunk of the tree splitting about 3 inches, all the way down the middle. Yeah, you fuckin heard me, SPLIT 3 INCHES DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING MAIN TRUNK.
I took some string, and tied her up, n took some weather strip tape(that really thin white shit that you wrap around threads on plumbing pipes), and wrapper the stem a couple times, to make sure it stays nice n tight, and i watered it in, with a little bit of Plantroids rooting hormone mixed in with the water - i know that wont do anything, but it gave ME some piece of mind, knowin that i did everything i could for the fucker.
So theres K1Ng5p4d3s fuck-up of the entire grow. Hopefully this wont be a section in every one of my grows, lol. But yeah, its a fuckin doozy eh?
So i checked on her today, and shes doin ok. Some of the leaves are a little droopy, and lookin a little hurt, but all in all, she looks like shes gonna make a full recovery over the next week - but on the bright side, its gona make the stem get stronger, and might even make the buds swell up even bigger too, cuz it has to go into overdrive to fix itself, lol. If it works, ill do another thread suggesting that everyone split their plants right down the middle, LMAO.
ill do an update n pics tonight when i get my lighting, n get all my germed seeds into pots. Still only have one twilight that germed. . No comment.

That does suck, but it sounds like you did what you could. I had a plant that got split, and I just tied her up real quick, and she recovered just fine. Mine split during veg, I'm sure she'll survive. LOL did you smack your wife up side the head? HEHE, tell her damn it woman respect the plants, lol.

lol nah didnt smack her, but i yelled at her right quick n made her cry, hehe. Im laughin cuz i ended up gettin some apology sex outta the deal. But not before i fixed my bitch though. I had to fix my bitch, before i fixed my bitch 
N YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH hehe, i been promoted again. I no longer have a cool ass aura about me. I am not a Jewel in the Rough!!! yeah bitches, movin up the foooooood chainnnnnn lol

stop thinking about it and start thinking about what strains you want and plance the order !!!!!!!!!!! do the t shirt method if u want it more stealth

haha yeah no problems with attitude man order away. king that same exact thing happened to my last plant haha. the dude that gave it to me had topped it so many times when it started to flower all the branches started to fall over and eventually they split from one another and the main branch cracked like halfway down. i tied them all up and the buds still filled in for another few weeks so all hope is not lost!

Do you guys ship to your house? What do you think about that? How about if the grow is elsewhere?

Get a temporary P.O box if your that worried about it man. I'm sure if you place the order over the phone, they can work with you to help with the stealth. I've seen some creative stuff. I've seen people put seeds in carboard. How there is like a like top of layer of cardboard, then the center wavy part and then the bottom layer, and they shove em in between. If that makes sense?

ive ordered like 5 times to my house with my cc stealth everytime got here no problems at all!
K1Ng5p4d3
Junior Creatologist
same here man Ordered from them a few times and every time ordered to my house, but i used a fake ass name, and it was all good. This last time i didnt even order with a shirt, i just had them send the seeds, and they got here. But i aint gonna say how though, lol. Just order man. You cant get in no trouble if you dont use your name, lol.
SO anyways, i got my lighting set up.
Thing with it is, the light system that came all together, (bulbs ballast, reflector) all came with the same type of sockets, while my cooltube has a 15' cord with a different typa socket. FUCKIN A. i went all over the city lookin for an adapter for it, tryin to figure out what the fuck to do, when i just decided to come home, play bob vila, and fuckin cut both wires in half (the wire comin out of the batwing reflector, and the wire comin out of the cooltube. I stripped down the wiring, and just pieced them together usin a lot of electrical tape and VIOLA!!! instant cooltube cord. Everything works fuckin balls out awesome. So im keepin my original plants in the top box, cuz i love that MH bulb man, its the size of a fuckin football, hehe. So i may as well get some use outta that fucker, and start a grow from scratch in my new equipment. But i might throw my other plants in the tent for a few hours outta the day, just so they can get some HID action too, even though its a MH bulb, it should still help with the swelling process of the buds, right?? i fuckin hope so.
So ill take some pics in a few, sorry i didnt take none during the setup process, i got so into everything, doin all the wiring all nice n neat, screwing my surge protectors, my extension pad, and my ballast all to the wall so it aint messy, i had to cut a couple holes in the back of the tent to slide cords through so it didnt fuck with the vent holes, n between doin all of this bullshit and runnin back n forth to the store, i ust fuckin forgot to take pics during setup.
So ill shoot some more pics a little later on, after i take a breather, but everything is lookin good. I still gotta hook up the end ducting coming out of the cooltube and running to the hole in the tent, cuz man, its HOT in there right now, lol. fuckin vortex aint doin shit but pushin hot air through the tube, and back into the tent, but i think itll be fine for an hour while i take a break n then hook it up. Im also leavin most of the vent holes open, even durin my 6 off time, cuz she needs all the air she can get (my tent) and all i need is 18 hours of light, right? or should i be doin 24 hours?? bah who gives a fuck, ill figure it out im sure, lol.
anyways, lemme look at some other posts, have a smoke n a doober, n ill get back with you guys.

cool yer jets man, im uploadin um right now. I wanted to take a couple macro shots of the buds that are forming on Corky, which is about 2 weeks behind my big girl development wise, but shes lookin healthy as all fuck, and while i dont have a wide shot of the plant itself, ill take one tomorrow, but trust me, shes turnin into a nice lil bush man. Im happy as fuck about that shit, n shes my new favorite plant - that is, until all my dank starts to shoot up 
So gimme like 5 mins for the pics to load up, and ill post some pics of the semi-final setup of my grow tent. I say semi-final, because i still have 4 seeds in germ, and i need to get some hi-low hangers for my cooltube cuz the fuckers over at POWERKINGSHOP didnt include them fuckin things like they said they would. so gimme a sec n ill break all the pics down for you guys...

ALLLLLLLLLLLRIGHTY THEN. i got my pics uploaded, n im ready to rock. So heres the deal. Like i said, i didnt get my fuckin hangers from the seller on ebay cuz hes a piece of shit, so im using nylon rope for now, and ill have to buy my own next week. As far as the tent itself goes, ive had it set up for the last week, i washed it down with soapy water and let it airdry, so the plastic smell could dissapate, and it almost did completely. As far as that fuckin problem goes with some of the growtents that were manufactured in china or hong kong, with the offgassing and chemical reactions with the lights, causing the plants put inside the tent to die - lets just cross our fuckin fingers that that shit aint gonna go down with my bitches, shall we? i spent too fuckin much and this is a long time fuckin comin, too much invested to have some simple fuckin bullshit like that happen now, lol.
Ok, so ill start with some pics of Corkys newly forming nuggets, no pics of the whole plant, but ill get those to you guys tomorrow for sure.
-- N there u have it. Shes coming along nicely, and in a week or two shes gonna have nice big fatty swollen nuglets, just screamin "smoke meeee king, i need you to smooooooooke meeeeeee!!!" , lol.
Heres what EVERYONE has been waiting for, me and you both, the final setup of my growroom. I still have to transplant the girls into some 5 gallon growbags (which im only filling up 3 gallons with soil, n usin the rest of thebag to fold down for a handle for moving), and also figure out what im gona do for when i water, so that there is no water chillin at the bottom of the tent, which is bad for the plants, and my personal well being in general. If anyone has any suggestions on how to absorb/catch/drain off the water thats gonna come out of my bags so its not all at the bottom of my tent gettin all mildewy n shit, please gimme some feedback. Anyway, without any further ado, the pics:
-growtent with original growroom on top shelf
Lets follow the Ducting!! it starts on the right hand side of the tent, with the carbon filter.
runs across the ceiling, to the left side of the tent, where we have:
more ducting, connected to a flange reducer, and a Vortex-ish fan. This fucker is LOUD though, lol. its a good thing that stealth aint super important to me at this juncture in time
ducting twists down, and goes into one side of the cooltube, cooling off the GIANT fuckin MH bulb, which gets SUPER FUCKIN SHIT HOT, btw, lol.
My super fuckin sized football sized MH bulb. Its a fuckin beast, n soon as i saw it, i decided that to not use such a beautiful thing would be rediculous, so i said fuck it and am starting my new grow from start to finish in this tent, and i MIGHT move my original plants down here during the day to get some MH action -- MH will still make my buds swell up right?? i mean, its not like theyre getting optimal light right now in the original box, n even though its not RED spectrum lighting, itll still make them grow better than in the other box with CFLs wouldnt it??
anyways, OUT the other side of the cooltube,
and out the vent hole in the side of the tent. Air is then blown outside of my closet. I just need to figure out how im going to do some type of air intake. I have a tower oscillating fan comin in a day or so here, n that has a built in ionizer, so i think ill be good with that, but just in case, id like to have an extra option. I have two 80 cfm can-lookin fans that i originally bought for intake, but i cant use them cuz the holes in the back of the tent are right up against the wall in my closet. I dont know what to do. Any suggestions??
N my girls, just chillin. The one bluecheese plant sprouted like 4 days ago, the same day i started germing the other ones. The reason i did that one early, is because it was all crushed, and i thought that it wasnt gonna be viable, but apparently i was wrong, lol.
So here it all is. If you guys can figure out answers to any of the problems that i have, which arent big ones, i would greatly appreciate it. Without the exhaust goin out the other side of the tent, the temp was like 95 degrees. With the exhaust goin out, its like 85 - 84 degrees, so not too bad rigth now. If i had the tower fan in there, it would probably drop to 80 - with the intake, probably 75. So if anybody can think of anything lemme know.
Also, if you guys think im shit at assembling a tent, lol, lemme know, hehe.
thanks for tunin in, plant updates tomorrow (my original grow).

Looks great king!! Your gonna bust a nut once they start to take off under the HID. The venting and everything looks good. I don't really know if an intake fan will cool it much more, because it will be drawing hot air out of your closet. You could try turning the AC down real low in that room, lol. You might consider getting 1 or 2 or the co2 boost buckets, or a co2 system, the extra co2 will help your plants deal with the extra heat alot better, and also drastically increase your yield. But other wise lookin real good.

lol, i bit the bullet and sliced a hole in the bottom side with a blade. I squeezed one of my lil 80 cfm fans in there, and now its blowin nice, cool air into the tent, and now i wanna move the light even closer since the room is gonna go down in temp real nice. If things still get to be too hot as shit progresses and the plants take up more space, i might do the same thing to the other side with my other 80 cfm fan. I put duct tape around the hole so it didnt leak light out or anything. Its really nice havin this thing man. No offgassing so far, lol. My seedling hasnt turned yellow yet, so im assuming i have a healthy tent. I have to look into it more to see how long people have went before the reaction starts - id rather be safe then sorry with all these good seeds man.
