maybe i should put down the joint . hahathe calling all noob growers thread is mine
Thanks, yea, I would have guess it was a lot bigger. Well, now we know.
Dude, I'm tired of camping already. I suppose that would work though, good idea.make a fire pit and put it on the bottom. give you and max something to roast marshmallows around while you camp!
Yea, I've heard of that. I guess I can store it in garbage cans till next summer.
Oops, a little late on the edit huh?
LOL
Well, Im glad we got that settled.the calling all noob growers thread is mine
I think my watering strategy worked great. sunk the line about two inches under the top soil and put it on a timer to water twice a day just enough to keep it moist.
Hell no, pass it this way.

Judging by how thick the vegetation at trunk level was before you pruned it all back, be glad you had irrigation. Imagine trying to water those bitches through all that crap. That, and just keeping up with watering on those freaks of nature would have kept you busy to an extent. I'll bet if you hand watered all of them on your own time your root systems would be more than twice as large lol.

haha . aight koo. right on cruz
Ok so things didn't work out as planned. After getting a good look at the grils and the mites I've decided to chop tomorrow. The girls look healthy enough, lots of fat buds. I'll spare you the pictures of the webs.
Temps are comming down so I can use an outdoor shed to dry in.
I'm just gonna pull it all. I'll keep them separate so you can guess weight of each plant but you will be able to see it all hanging at once. I figure I will trim one plant at a time. I got some help coming tomorrow, I should be able to get a couple trimmed and in the net. I'll get pics of that for ya.
Being 4 months old Max hasn't been around any other dogs so I invited A lady friend of mine and her dog Rio for a play date with Max. Rio is a 4 year old female Lab/Whippet I think. Anyway she is much faster and stronger then max but they got along great. He wouldn't leave her alone. She could kick his ass right now but I think he held his own pretty dam good for a puppy.

i bet Max slept his ass off last night. my wife caught my boxer having a wet dream dry humping the air in her sleep (she always thinks shes queen bitch, and in a area with other dogs she trys to hike a leg to pee) i bet max was having some wild wippet dreams last night 
thanks for all the entertainment here Cruze!! and good luck with all the trimming, you probably wont be able to type for a week!!

Ha! Thanks man.
That's some bitch! I bet she would teach Max a thing or two. Thanks for hangin around, yea I did my share of trimming.i bet Max slept his ass off last night. my wife caught my boxer having a wet dream dry humping the air in her sleep (she always thinks shes queen bitch, and in a area with other dogs she trys to hike a leg to pee)
Slept like a rock. He was even mellow all day today. I think being around an older dog matured him a little bit.
Constant fight with those things, good luck with them. Hell, its a fridge, just turn it on! LOL

Apparently I have hijacked the thread with a nuclear bomb full of my callous opinions (or so I've been told) so if I offended you, my sincerest apologies. If you would like to know how to pay a fraction of what you do for damn fine nutrients. feel free to pm me. That's not callous, that's me trying to save you some money.
Sorry for shitting in the punchbowl.

Good luck with your chop cruze. Mites generally leave the buds as they dry in search of fresh plants that are alive. Not everyone knows that, but I though you might find comfort in knowing it shouldnt be infested when it come to smoking time. Maybe only a few stragglers that got stuck to the trichs.
Hi Integra, Thanks for the tip, actually I have see mites exit a drying bud before. That's why I didn't gas them and chopped a little early instead.
I would say most of the mites came off with the leaf but whats left can leave the colas.
Ya know, growing plants this large has its benefits, the mites didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I was stressed about them. They really suck the life out of an indoor grow with smaller plants but these girls came through great. Caterpillars, now you probably wont see those indoors but those are nasty. Its like instant mold through about an inch of your bud. This first round has been a great learning experience.

we can genetically change the plants, but we can't genetically change the mites. well said cruzer... maybe you did over stress the fear of the mites as the overall damage to the crop did not cost you significantly, if hardly at all, in the grand scheme. Good lessons learned.
Ok guys, I got most of them down yesterday and realized I have much more then I thought. I am perfectly legal with the amount of plants but I believe I am going to go over the amount of dried flowers I can have so I contacted my co-op and they can take the Santa Cruz right away. Those large jars are working out real well. so far every third day I have opened it up and dumped it out and let it set overnight then back in the jar.
I have recently read a curing technique of riddleme"s that I want try. Unfortunately I have already prepared these for the traditional method of hanging but I still have the blue cheese left. There will be plenty to try it out with next week.
Its Sticky time!
OK so I got in there yesterday and cut down the blueberry, Im glad to say those caterpillars didn't do that much damage. I pulled that big one out and the fogger killed about a dozen little ones I didn't find any more of them. Her main cola was just massive. I took all the fan leaves off and hung her.
Lets start with some trichomes shots,
Casey Jones
Blueberry,
Here is where they all will end up.
Blueberry shots.
Just getting started
I thought I could hang it all on one line but it took two
Main cola.
Huge man, big around as a football.
Blueberry stalk.
A shot of whats left, Casey's Next.
Then I realized That there is no way in hell all of this is gonna fit. My friend came over to help and we decided if there was enough airflow we could pack the shed. So we cut two 6 in holes in the top of the back wall of the shed and wedged a couple duct booster fans in the holes for exhaust and cut a vent in the bottom of the door.
Works great, Im moving around 320 CFM.
Then we went and took Casey Jones. Man that fucking plant is unreal.
She pretty much took up the rest of the room in the shed. I've never seen buds like that. Just awesome.
Heres about half of her.
Then we got to her main cola, Shes loaded man, you can tell she is frosty.
First two rows are blueberry and two and a half rows of Casey Jones.
So that's two more. Blueberry and Casey Jones. we still didnt have enough room for them all but I like the ventilation anyway.
We still got Bubba Kush and Blue Cheese on deck.
Bubba can go in my cab now that blue dream is about done and I wanna try that fermentation idea of riddlemes on some of the blue cheese.
Heres the blue cheese, no way i can get to her now, I got a boat load of trimming to do to.
