No problem. I must say that I think I am a little jealous John. I wish you good luck with all if them though.

Help yourselves to a drink..

I'll be back in about 2 hours for a chin wag...just getting ready to take someone to the airport.

oh tell me you're offering us a canna-vodka drink!

for next upgrades I'm considering a multiple-plants-per-pot setup like you use mossys... do you think I could still achieve about 1 oz yields (per plant) with 3 to a pot on these air pots?

I've thought about using those Airpots they look fantastic. Also, I have a really big stryofoam cooler out in the shed that I think I may have to convert into a multi like what Mossy is doing. I think I could maximize my space doing that.

i was thinking of starting an early outdoor set in something like that with a clear dome or "wall-o-water" on it to get a real eraly outdoor gig on!... might try it this spring

def gonna try air pots as soon as the budget allows!

they look sick dont they?

J

ps - was also thinking of the space gains... ) big ideas!)

mossy, i got a meeting coming up in a few... think its gonna be a long one.. but hopefully i'll be back in time to ratchet jaw with you guys... really torn about this meeting... damnit!

You sound like me at work John firs thing i want to do is get on here when i get home
I dont like missing much.

About the air pots, i ran into an interesting experience using them, they keep a plant uniform
i did this method with a screen and planter and i got the same experience, it really makes one hell
of a root mass.

yes.. well I've made this my work for the moment... but... I am working on grander plans... (currently calcing for a 600 acre farm for organic production... thats what this meeting is....)

on the airpots, I remember the pics you showed me... what do you think about 3 plants to ea of the 2 gals?

J

Little update on my end; Easy Ryders and DDR's are up and soaking in the light. This is a DDR in my fiber starting pot.. I am thinking about just setting them on top of their final resting place. The roots are suppose to break right through the bottom of the fiber and it should give me a little more root depth, like you guys were talking about with the plastic cup method.


This is Tessa.. My bagseed test bitch.


Any thoughts? Suggestions?

WOoooOOF...you lot talk even more than Me....

I may be a while on this reply....hope the canna vodka lasts...

Teflondummy..cheers m8..you grow a mean AF yourself.

Do you have a soil mix or two posted anywhere?

Click to expand...

I use Universal compost...NO added ferts..
(the kind you get in every garden centre for growing bedding plants in..)
apart from an extra bit of perlite or clay balls I have no amendments...
I germ straight into the compo..in the finish pot..so I have no transplant stop.
Un-wanted males are pulled or cut from the multi pot.

I find they ask for ferts a couple of days before sex..so I give them one or two 50% strength veg ferts.
I give them 50% flower ferts after they sex..
and once a week after that.

GJ...I know your time is short...
but I think you are gonna have to put us a simple CO2 guide up..
because the girls are Great and people are gonna want to know HOW you grow them.

JM that second vid is Brill..what a system.
Can't wait to see how they do With the additives.
Is this the first run with the system..I was just wondering how it does when they are in full bud...?

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Mossy is gonna be mad with me..........................

No Bro...just Absolutely GUTTED for You...
mother nature is awfully generous..
But..

Been on many a receiving end of one.

sunshine karma sent..
Remember BH having all the deep purples then he got the hurricane..it gutting..

Lovely looking Girls fedpap...appreciated..

mossys! holy shizzle izzle for rizzle! thick-ass stems on that little tramp!

LMHO....
but the little bugger is a Male...3 studs all the same..
bodes well though..it has me smiling widely.
Def canna vodka....Amber Nectar..
ChynaRyder got me to try it..and it is brilliant..kinda loosens all the body up.
Even though we are Cold here..I still get Good light levels...think Florida US...fairly similar.

dont feel bad... I've had to sit back and be green with envy for 15 years... now I finally get to shine!

Yup..and we benefit from seeing them grown first-hand..what better testimonial.

If thats the main stem on that plant HOLY cow Mossy
DC dom much?

.....sigh..
Got me in the heart.

Look at the size of the leaf stem coming out above me hand.

HAHA! I knew you would find it. I hope he doesn't get pissed at us for letting his cat out of the bag.

Where....where...have I spoken to him....?....

Appreciated..very much...but....shhhhhhhhhhhh...
I don't wanna get in to trouble....

Okay so I've been thinking about this root depth thing you guys have been talking about. So I went ahead and created my own little two tiered pot. lol. I'm going to plant a freebie seed from Sweet Seeds called Fast Bud. I really don't know squat about it other than its an Auto Flower and it was free so I said what the hell lets try something. Here is some pics of it, I have it under the lights to get the soil at grow room temperature.

Also, I have a really big stryofoam cooler out in the shed that I think I may have to convert into a multi like what Mossy is doing. I think I could maximize my space doing that.

You will get more yield..multi planting one pot than you would with individual pots.
They like cuddling up.

I was thinking that if your set up was cold..it might have put a delay on the time-release ferts..
But..
I saw your temps..and they look good.

Your girl with the yellows looks like one of mine as she goes over..it doesn't worry me..I always associate it with a little Stinker.
That #6 photo is Stunning..I would be proud as punch with her..

I'm considering a multiple-plants-per-pot setup like you use mossys... do you think I could still achieve about 1 oz yields (per plant) with 3 to a pot on these air pots?

Click to expand...

bloody hell I nearly fainted when I opened that link..I thought they were $250 EACH..
it was the price for 50...
woof...flapping air into face....

I read the blurb..
But..
I'm still not sure..
I Think FullD noted a drop in yield when he tried a Similar manner of growing...

like everything..if you are not sure..
buy one or two and test back against your conventional pots.
With your set-up being miles advanced to my knowledge..I think you will have to go it alone.

You can be our air-pot Pioneer...

FuuuulllD....
you see the plant bottom right..
I've had me eye on it..
Because even for a DC..that leaf looked too big for AF..
so..I thought I Might see a bit non-af content

But..
That is me AF Girl.....oh Mossy wiggle.......... ......

she's got Bat-Flaps..

When I was having a closer look at the pot..
I found a small..perfectly formed male hiding in the shadows..
I pulled him..and cut him in half to show you this...



Hollow stem...

Those are massive fans.. I'd hit it.. with pollen

That massive stem sure has me thinking dank.. You said it's a girl? The vinager is making them soo lush. Probably some of the most vigorus beast's you've posted yet mate.! So you use the vinegar from cleaning the kettle?

Bh.

Those are massive fans

Remember all the DC doms esbe had in his thread..?
every single one carried the trait..I could spot them a mile off before I saw the name.
I Love the trait...Deep Chunk..Deep Joy...

"May this cannabis be a Blessing to my Heart"

(The cannabis blessing I have on the glass house wall...)

Without doubt..
But..
the vinegar buffer is doing the same to the other genetics too...

The Oguns Thunder has reached the magic 31 cms across..
(angle of the Photo makes it look shorter but she is..31cms/12inches wide..)





and only 8 cms 3-4inches high..
put in soil on the 13th..showed 16th..so they are about 12 days old..

even the ones in the small pots..



Right across the board..they got their Mojo back....

So you use the vinegar from cleaning the kettle?

Click to expand...

Not quite..it was using vinegar to dissolve the calcium in the kettle that made me wonder if it would work.

I have a 50 lrt..half-sized Bin..that I bubble my water in...(FullD's tip..it Works.....)
The tapwater is PH 8.4..
so I bring it down more to the 6.2 level by adding the vinegar.
Cold mix.

It takes about half a pint to bring 50 ltrs down to a low ph6-6.5 area.

FullD is gonna give it a shot too....

How much vinegar are you using to a gallon of water Mossy? And what kind of vinegar again? White Wine Vinegar?

how bout hallow stem used as a straw for a canna-vod screwdriver

Ha ha my Bro..I Have thought of it...
canna vodka through canna straws......Ambrosia...

I've developed a nasty habit..I chow down on one of the dried stems while I'm cleaning the donor..
it is surprsing how much Taste/essense you can pick up...

Not sure it is advisable..
But..
I'm gonna do it with my males..see if I can get the best essences...to help breed selection.

How has your weekend been...?
