super lemon haze at last

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I brought home a drinking fountain that was removed from a jobsite of mine. It's the type that chills the water so I brought it home, dismantled it a bit and turned it into a 'chiller' for my res. I've just been testing it so far and it seems to work good. I connected it to an extra pump I had that I placed in the res and put the 'chiller' and pump on a timer. I replaced the thermostat on the fountain with a calibrated one and set it to 50 degrees. The cooling system only turns on when the timer is in the 'on' cycle and even then only turns on if the water running through it has warmed up. It only runs for 5 minutes so it doesn't cool 100% of the water and so far the res temp has stayed between 63 and 68 degrees steady for a week.

not too bad for a free chiller, right?

hey dez innovation & building things is what makes my world go round & success spawns more success its just plain healthy i learned my feed once a week drain to waste method from these guys who set up grows at someones place & come in once a week flood the tables & when done split the harvest & at some point whoever theyre doing it with buys them out & starts his own operation .well after seeing what brand nutes & slabs they were using i figured it out as they had tore off the lables & kept the feeding schedule with them after figuring out how it was done i decided it beat the hell out of my bubbleponic set-up now on my 4th grow & steadily improving my yields i just ordered white widow-x- big bud seeds trying for quality & quantity in same plant a pound a grow is all i ask & like you i dont have the time to baby sit my grows well im gonna sign off & hook up my boat i live on the edge of the san jouquin delta & im gonna see if the striped bass are running yet

this is turning into a great thread, it's giving me some new ideas. i've been using a 600w with a 6 in inline fan on a cooltube, three 5 gal and one 10 gal smartpots, total fox farm lineup and flushing with clearex. so thanks all

hey tingpoon good to have you visit any advice,questions welcome here had a lot of fun with my other grows too i like input & idea exchange as im not the sharpest tool in the shed and everyone is different & thats good cause if we all did it the same i think it would kill a lot of the fun & ive been havin a pretty good time

hey tingpoon for some reason when i look at your pics. i get a red-x- is there some trick to viewing these gotta remember my computer skills are limited

took 28 clones today they will go into a friends grow & if i like the slh i will clone from his if not i have big bud-x-white widow seeds ordered my only concern about slh is the yield so we will see

Man looking real good had no idea you had another grow going, subd now though. you don't like having your grow in your sig?

here is pics taken tonight this stuff seems to be growing a bit slow i checked paperwork from last grow & slh is about 10'' shorter i realize topping twice & fim'ming has slowed upward growth i still plan on vegging 3 weeks & then going 12/12

my leaves are razor thin. nice grow

I keep forgetting to take pics of mine but I understand why you're concerned abput yield as mine doesn't look like it's going to produce very much. My plant was a whore that was tortured during veg though so I didn't expect much out of it. I just really wanted to try thr SLH smoke so I saved the mother after losing all of the clones and threw her in the flower room with the hopes of getting soemthing off it to try. She was really only a stump with a couple small branches when I started to try and save her...

my slh is short, stocky & has fat little leaves i thought they would start producing skinny leaves but all in all these plants are little butter-balls very compact & this is the first grow ive done this much topping i usually supercrop & i still might all the stretching i was expecting hasnt happened yet im hoping i get a lot of bud sites my last 2 grows have produced the most growth in the 2 weeks following turning the light 12/12 & the day i turn light back is the day i feed the aggressive growth dose of nutes so when they take off nutes are available

Mine grow the same as yours, most growth being in the first two weeks of flower. I don't give them a blast of veg nutes though, 1/2 dose veg and 1/2 dose bloom nutes for the first week and then full bloom nutes from then until flush. I've been starting my flush too soon the last few times so I'm going to try to get it right this time.

hey dez how are you doing ??? im mulling over going 12/12 in the next couple of days i want to harvest by x-mas it seems like every harvest i get blindsided with either property taxes or insurance which isnt figured in to our house payment so you see unkle sam is already taxing my pot[ha ha] i figure if i cut the light in the next few days i should end up with 30'' plants i give my plants the transition dose the following week [week#2] of 12/12 & get a really good growth rate gh-nutes transition is 50/50 growth&bloom

ya, they will triple in flower, if you want to see the difference, check out my journal.

Mine is currently about 30" out of the pot and it was only 10-12" when I put it in the flower room so that sounds about right. It seems most of mine fall somewhere between doubling and tripling their size in flower.

The surprise was a Sour Grapes plant that was from a clone. It over tripled in height and it was supercropped and fim'd a couple times in veg too. The lower branches ended up pretty close to the upper ones in height and I still had to cut about a foot off the main stem because it grew past the light by about 6".

yeah pineapple chunk was a real monster for me is the sour grape good ??? headband 707 has been the best thing ive grown in awhile & thanks for the input on the slh im gonna go 12/12 wednesday i think

also, to quicken flower on those SLH,you might want to put them in 48 hr darkness before you switch, i had one that was a few weeks older, which was already showing preflowers, and it took the younger SLH, about a week longer, to start flower, it may have been the strain, but i think the 48 hr dark period, might have helped kickstart flowering.

this is just something i wished i would have done, to prevent my younger SLH taking so long to start flower.

I really like the Sour Grape. It's gives you a mellow high but not a couchlock by any means. Decent body buzz and a nice head buzz but it's not really one of those that gives you the giggles necessarily. I vape it in the evenings and then just chill with the wife and kids and it doesn't make me sleepy, just mellow.

It really does have a bit if a sour grapes taste to it in the vape. It smells kinda like that in the jars too, kind of sour smelling with a bit of skunk. It smells soo good that it hurts a little to grind it up to make butter with it, lol. I grew some that was called Green Cush (not Kushor Crack) that's also an Oaksterdam strain and it smell awesome! It's got a really sweet, citrus smell and it's got more sativa in it than the Sour Grapes, very uplifting and social high. Not the most potent thing out there but my buddies and I really liked it.
Here's a few pics of them, the first one has the Sour Grapes plant on the left (got a little 2.5oz from it ), second pic is some of the Sour Grapes buds and the last is what the Green Cush buds looked like. The Green Cush really was that red btw.

Got a couple pics of my SLH this morning finally. In the 2nd pic you can see some of the rest of my pathetic grow room. I stuck whatever survived from when I went out of town in July into flower. Theyre all small, weak looking plants but I plan on using the SLH for smoke/vape and the rest will just get ground up for butter unless soem of it comes out good. I'm not getting my hopes up though because of how weak these plants look.

hey dez those plants dont look too bad to me i think im gonna hit the dispensiarys again the clones i think right here in my own area beat the hell out of the amsterdam seed stuff im really happy with the 707 headband it grows good, smokes good, clones good & yields good & i sold out & everyone is screamin for more. im a little concerned about the growth rate of my slh its not quite on par with some of the other strains ive grown & its early to tell but it doesnt look like its gonna yield
