Yeah...Just now ive got an 8 plant perpetual harvest going and a seperate 4 plant grow... so the 4 are ak 48 clones and the 8 perp grow is the fun room with the others from above... curiosity plants and free seeds from attitude.... my favs from last year were lemon diesel, super lemon haze, jack flash # 5 and the ak

 

[ae86 grower]

have still a few of the lemmon haze beans here, crackin smoke that, has it all for me, smell taste, stone..

done a fair run of blckjack last year and it was good but the lemmon haze was better, the bj had fatter buds but the lh was sooo much nicer to smoke..

how far apart do you clone to keep the perpetual going? or do you bother with timeing and just toss them in as you see fit?

 

[splifchris]

Yeah the lemon haze was prob the best alrounder but those extra couple of weeks are a killer.... the lemon diesels 8 weeks flat.... For cloning.... I take 6 good clones from the mother when i put the last 4 into flower... around 3 weeks for enough root mass (pick the 4 biggest) to go into soil for the last month... and repeat...

 

[ae86 grower]

good system, how do you find the supply.. as in you always got a constant supply? what you average haul be?

your bang on te extra weeks do drag on, feels like tere just sitting there makeing no more progress and then bam the trichs start to go and they put on an extra bit of weight (which is nice)....

 

[splifchris]

Yeah... all good, basically 2 zips a week... 1 plant ready a week from the perp room and i think ill get around 8 - 10 from the little room... too much really... but fuck it... im a poor mature student and needs must... there are worse ways to pay your way through college!!!

 

[ae86 grower]

2 zips a week will buy lots of school supplys alright hahahahaha..

i either need a hugh haul from outdoor this year or get my shit together with perpetual or a scrog or something, after starting over again this batch is to fill some jars and get off the mark again...

 

[splifchris]

just took these for you...

 

[ae86 grower]

some pretty tasty training methods and setup there, you have it dialled in lovely..

on pic 2 is there a bulb in the small compartment to act like a heat mat or is it just reflection or something?

 

[splifchris]

Yeah.... its all home made man... except the hoods and bulbs, i borrowed everything else from various building site ive worked on ( got 4 x 250 ballasts and 2 x 400 watts last summer)... gonna swap the 400 and 250 ballasts for a lumetec 600 watter and a really good hood for the perp grow but apart from that im happy.... yeah its just a 7 watt bulb under there... warms the water slightly and helps the humidity... works a treat....

 

[splifchris]

actually that clone box was my original grow box from 3 years ago...

 

[ae86 grower]

had a small setup sorted last time round but after some building work have to start again so i`ll be liberating parts myself now when i come across them, basically tho thats a couple of sheets of ply and a few 4 by 3`s hahahaha have everything else sorted, need a veg cab bad tho, the 12/12 thing although good enough to grow under is not for me, i like to control the nodes etc with the cfl`s before setting them loose under the hps, they get too gangally under it for me, i know its nature but i like to be somewhat in control of canopy, all that time growing in cabinets hahahahha...

 

[splifchris]

Had to remover this ak 48 yesterday 2 weeks early... biach hermed badly... was a bit gutted.... but what you gonna do...

 

[ae86 grower]

more than two on that...

cunt when they hermi, any chance you got her in time, or is she seeded bad? i don`t mind seeded weed, its not ideal but if the stone is there fuck it..

 

[splifchris]

Cool page number!!!!!

 

[ae86 grower]

not the first time we have been here.. every now and then riu have a clean out or get hacked and we loose a few thousand pages...

 

[splifchris]

No... she not looking good... took my eye of the ball there, only thing is... all of the clones off her ( she was the ak mother) have been really really strong so im hoping its passable... shes a gonner tomorrow night.... just going to take the good looking buds off her and the rest goes in the trim box...

 

[ae86 grower]

trim box.... what a romantic notion, i smoke all that shit up....hahahahaha

it gets me through until the bud has had a slight cure, then i start demolishing that, well thats how i was, have had long enough away from it now that i`m hopeing to gain control of the beast (weed addiction) that i can even just smoke in the evening ...

hopeing i don`t slip into the old ways once chop comes..


do you make hash chris or butter? or both?

 

[splifchris]

Neither now man.... i watched some vid by some canadian watermellon girl and that changed... everything... seriously... now i dry, liquidize and sive the good quality trim....then store it like flour in a kilner jar and when ever you want to add it to something, you messure 1 g per portion, put it in the oven at 170 for 10 mins and add to cakes chocs sweets what ever... ive cut my smoking in half the last few months...

 

[ae86 grower]

i`m all ears....

i have to say theres been an explosion in the last few years with the amount of things you can do with cannabis, well that and my intrest has peeked a little higher than before also, but before was hash butter or smoke..

more have moved now to bongs and vapes than smoke, and the amount of recipes i`ve seen for cakes etc is getting bigger, just have to stock up now and try them, i always ended up smokeing it, god when i think about it i was (still am) a greedy fucker when it comes to bud...
