Thanks guys, I think I am going to keep the ppms where they are. That soil mix is full of nutes.
Today I cleaned house. I got to thinking about how pruned in my cabinet and just did the same thing.



Yep, its full.
I would have never believed I would toss this much. some branches were three feet long but under the canopy and would not have produced much.

"Toss"? .... by toss, I hope you mean toss into some bubble bags? That could be a nice Bonus for your patients!

putting that premature foliage in bubble bags is just a waste of time. if anything those branches couldve made some clones but they were infested with spider mites so they got trashed.

I agree. It would have made an awesome as all get out bon-fire to sit by and drink some beers and smoke some good bowls of bud with some good buds!

Thats allot of Weed, You sure its : "Legal"?
LOL
The size of the plant doesnt matter. Legaly I can flower six plants as a patient.
Like Gunball mentioned I am also a caregiver for one patient so that doubles the amount. I'm actually short. I can be flowering twelve girls.

Damn cruzer101! Everytime I catch up on your threads, you impress me more and more! But I gotta say....... My eyes are popping this time!

:hump:Good Luck! +rep
Thanks moose, good to see ya.

Very nice update cruz day in the green house
Spent allot of time doing all of that triming to bad you dont have a compost going, just going to make those top colas swell up even more.
Hows the humidity in there been treating you ?
With the top open like that it about the same as outside. Actually I am adding some by hosing off the bottoms of the plants and the bricks twice a day.

i think they meant it should be a crime to throw away that much weed!! Kinda should be, from a pot heads point of view!!

at least you have space to crawl around your greenhouse now cruzer!!
Yea no kidding. I'm busted. Crawl? hell I can walk now.

Cruzer, pouring on the inspiration, thanks man! keeping me entertained during these past long summer months.
Your welcome zeffy, thanks for following.

I dont know man, I think I will have enough buds out of the deal, I'm still have plenty of afghan and white rhino from my last grow. Matter of fact I got a couple oz's of other previous grows on hand too so Na, Too much work for what I would get.

There ya go,

I think it would be a quick fire. Not a bad idea though. Maybe I will do that with these trunks after harvest.

Thanks Guys, I tell ya, I'm in awe. I pull up my chair in the shade and just sit and watch them grow.

Now I got a lot of the lower stuff out of there I can concentrate on the canopy.
I went and untied a few branches and tied up some others to get more light/airflow and access to the bottom of the upper leaves. Then I sprayed a gallon of neem/soap mix this afternoon. I read it is not toxic to ladybugs so I'll let some go tomorrow and in a couple days it will cool down. I can seal it up and bomb it again. The war continues...

Man... growing outside is a LOT of work! :)
Yea, ya know, if it was 100% outside I dont think I would have these issues.
But these girls have led a sheltered life up to now.

Its either open it all up from the begining or seal it good and get a bigger A/C and supplement co2.

Thanks for the tip, I use about a gallon per treatment. looks expensive but I will check it out.

I use that Don't Bug Me stuff in my cab and tents. Works pretty good, but needs to be used regularly. I like it for my cab... that and some Gnatrol in my water got rid of my gnat problem super-quick.

Open em up buddy, natural is best!
I agree, let the natural breeze sweep the nasty pests away and perhaps supplement CO2. Have you tried the dry ice method? I found it really helped me out in my war, that and then after with the tobacco/canola oil/hemp soap water spray as well as periodical misting on hot days got rid of all sign of spider mites, caterpillars, and any other bugs I didn't want in there. We take the same preventative measures basically but I think you may use commercial bombs whereas I've relied on dry ice releasing CO2 vapor above my plants so that it drifts down on top of them, filling my greenhouse (I sealed it off so it would cloud up), and suffocating all breathing things while giving my girls a nice breath of air they like :) However, I only let it cloud in my greenhouse for 5 min before opening it up again because too much time with the dry ice method will negatively impact the girls.
Hope this is useful, good luck!

y release it above the trees? doesnt vapor/gas rise?

Not when it's solid CO2 vapor and sealed up inside a greenhouse/tent, it drifts downwards :)

here's just one vid of how the vapor drifts if sealed inside something:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyO8L8TRHgU&feature=related

Everyone does need to be aware that breathing in the CO2 vapor can be very dangerous as it will suffocate you as well as the pests so don't allow yourself to breath it in unless you want to lose braincells and then die...

The problem with that vid though is that they have fans around the plants moving the vapor around so it doesn't cloud like I do. This vid's creators were probably doing it to get more CO2 to their plants as they are indoors instead of trying to suffocate pests...

What I do is I hang metal containers (cans usually) above my plants filled with hot water. I drop dry ice in those (using oven mitts and a face mask) and get the f--- out of there. I seal off my greenhouse meaning no windows are open and I cover the entire thing with a giant plastic tarp that I tuck under the greenhouse itself which seems to seal the thing off and keep a nice full cloud of the vapor in there until I'm ready to take the tarp off after a little more than 5 minutes
I'll try to get a vid next time I do it :)
