I'm fine, thanks for asking.....LOL

How are you.....

just dandy no grow...

you joinin the comp too?

I'm thinking about it. I'll have to dig thru my old fish tank things and see if I can find a pump.

Plus I don't have a camera right now. BROKEN That is the main thing, I have to go get one.

ah

i didn't even have a pump
got one fro 7 bucks though.. thought i could spare it for some fun!

and kp... i'm starting the day with some sprite adn a bowl of mersh... wanna trade?

sprite, eww...

as for the "mersh", there's enough ak for a few bowls

if only i could come visit right now!

but yeah... this stuff is some sorta sativa/indica mix... gets me soaring for about 15 minutes, calms me and numbs me for the next 30, then i come down and get sleepy as hell after that...

then its just time to smoke more (thank you cigerette looking sneak-a-tokes)

i wanna play im been studing hydro for awhile but i dont know which nutes to go with.


i do have fox farm nutes. the the grow big will be fine for hydro so i think i might join.....

glad to have you cali!

Look it's "Noah" and his milk bottle. Took him so long to build it, wonder if he had to draw up a schematic first.

this sounds fun, i want in pleazzzz. I never tried hydro so this would b educational.

have to get an air pump tommorow and a grow medium and a new growbox and a new light.

I got an air pump and a new growbox (as soon as i finsh it) and medium so i think i'm set i got fox farm grow big for veg will this work for hydro.

Well DAM! There I go in gauging my mouth before I think things through. This little water fall project is going to be a lot of work, especially for one plant. But I think it will be very cool once I finish it. I already have my clone going, and it is doing very nicely. I need to get a lot of falling action on the water, and maybe falling over rocks and such items, for oxygen. I then plan on the water landing in a small pool of water. Which where it over flows from this pool my plant will sit. I will be using that Film Nutrient type system at this point. My plant will sit in a trough, and the water will run under it, once the water passes the plant it will enter a kind of tunnel, which no light will enter. This way my roots can just grow down the tunnel and have nuts washing over them.
Hope I do not look like to much of an IDIOT, when this thing fails in a big way.

Here is a picture of my clone. And the one plant I have in Flowering stage for 1 week right now. I killed all the others. There are a few clones in there. But they are just taking up space. Most likely they will be killed also.

woooooooooooooo seed finally cracked, a bit of the taproot just beginning to make its way out...

so, without too many problems, i'll have a little plant within the next couple days...

fingers crossed for a girl!!

Lumberjack just made me think of something.

It will be very hard to send this plant into flower stage with 12/12 lights. So I am thinking of making it into a mother. How bad is it to have a mother actually be a clone itself?

This plant is going to be hanging on a water fall that will be on my wall.

Well, Seeing as i need to raise this water about 6' I need a pretty big pump. I just ordered a 370 GPH water pump on Ebay. Also I have a buddy of mine traveling to Arizona this weekend who is going to buy me a polished 3" spherical Marble. This is what I am going to defuse the water at the entry point with. The marble should ride on top of the water just a little bit and spin. I am looking for a small projector light to spot light the marble with. They look cool lite up and all. Still looking for a bit of bamboo.

Anyone know where I might be able to buy a few feet of bamboo. about 1" diameter? Have looked all over, even searched ebay. If i can not find some, I might have to use PVC.

Maybe I should not use bamboo anyway. Do any of you think that the Nuts being inside the bamboo, would cause some kind of growth? The piece of bamboo will be on a swivel, at about a 45 degree angle. When it fills enough it will tip. But I can see maybe the nuts getting down inside of the pores of the bamboo and letting bad stuff grow in there.

Any thoughts out there?

Guess the PVC would not be to bad if i painted it brown or black or something.

This water fall is going to cost a bit of money to build. I at least want it to look nice, not cheesey.

bamboo would work, i'd run some poly or something through it to seal it a little. also, as there is no light inside the bamboo, no algea or anything will grow. if you have a hard time finding it, let me know how much you need and i'll see what i can find.

kp

I thought about sealing it also. But I am afraid that the corrosiveness of some of the nuts might brake it down. Guess I could look for a corrosive resistant sealant.
