Thundercat's Groooooooow

Well I guys I managed to hope on today, to checkin after the update. Thanks for all the feed back as usual.

Gypsy I have been enjoying the ebb & flow so far. Its kinda a bitch to empty and refill the rezs, but other then that seems simple. I've been being kinda lazy to be honest, only checking on the rezs every couple days. But thats part of why I wanted to go ebb and flow. They girls all seem to really like it now that they are settled in. They all look very happy, and are blowing up with buds.

I took the clones so late cus I wanted to plants to start looking healthy first. Pewce guys TC

Looks Great TC considering.. when I finally make the switch Im leaning to ebb n flow, looks like its working good for you.
Smoke on

Thanks Cali, I'm enjoying the ebb and flow for sure. And my girls seem to really like it. They are really putting on some weight now. You can feel it in the stems if you move them. So thats a nice plus, I wasn't sure how well they were gonna fill in with all the stress. But its going good. All my clones are still alive, and I can see roots near the top of the rockwool, so I think maybe just a few more days till they are coming out of the cubes. Then I'm gonna give them a week or 2 in some small cups with hydroton to let them veg just a bit. Then they'll be going in the system. The rest of the girls have about 6 more weeks, so if I get things going like planned, I should only have to wait about 4-5 weeks before my second harvest. Then I'll try to get the next batch down to a 2 week rotation. I still need to get my other seeds germinating, but thats my next project.

Thanks for stopping by the thread guys, and I'll see ya in a few more days. Peace TCat

thundercat...... you are inspirational. If you can magically transform your buds in to women, can I marry one.. or two? three maybe..?

unfortunately this is all I have left of my baby girl {pic below} cuz of an asshole buddy who decided to call the police on my plant because he didnt get smoked up.

and she was a gorgeous 2 and a half month old girl too. the cops came as my friend answered the door and flashing a warrant. I knew already what was going on, so I ran to my plant to try and stash it out the back door, but I got to the back door and heard "freeze, guy". stood there facing away from the cop and broke these 2 branchs off her and slipped them in my pocket as I turned around. they took the plant away and I pretty much cried. She was my first =p and was growing so well.


....and, you know who you are! If your reading this, just want to let you know Karma's a bitch and you'll get yours.

mariju what? ... there are a lot of things wrong with that story... you might want to reconsider your approach to growing mary jane. maybe even wait a few years? change locations? deffinitely change friends. though not having any 'friends' is an even safer bet. sounds like ur real lucky that ur avatar doesn't match mine.
.

There's alot of things wrong with that story because that was a very, very brief explanation of what happend in that ordeal. it would take some time to outline the whole story which i dont want to do. Ask me what confuses you and what doesnt match about this event... id like to hear and be happy to tell you.

"sounds like ur real lucky that ur avatar doesn't match mine."
-sorry, im not catching your drift on this?

I agree the story made no sense.

So they took your plant but no one got in trouble for it?

Why did you rip it apart then?

The cops would search everyone even if they didn't take you to jail, in which case they would have found what was in your pockets.

Makes no sense.

i'm not saying the story isn't factual or based on true-life events. i'm saying, 'ur doing it wrong'.

heheh.

first rule of growing mary jane is that you don't tell anyone that ur growing mary jane. you broke many many other rules as well. the fact that your situation was one in which a person in your home felt they had the right to answer your door (with you growing weed in this home) is just flabber-gasting. ur playing it real loose, like you've got nothing to lose. I'm amazed that you didn't lose everything, including your freedom. Did you feel like everything was under control ?

Sometimes ya just gotta toss the dice... then leave -Nothing- to chance.
.

wow yeah i cant wait to see how it all goes. im thinking of starting up sometime soon so i'm looking out for ideas. yours seems pretty sweet

Dude, i don't want any of this shit on my thread, so don't bother talking it! For what it matters, Gambler is 100% correct!

Top 10 rules of growing weed

Rule Number 1. Don't tell any one your growing weed!

Rule Number 2.Don't tell any one your growing weed!

Rule Number 3-8.Don't tell any one your growing weed!

Rule Number 9.Don't grow weed in your moms basement!

Rule Number 10.Don't grow weed if your a dumb ass!

Hope this helps out in the future getting a successful crop!

And for what ever else it matters, in your location, the word "samon" is spelled salmon, and its the "swallows" of Capistrano.


TO everyone else, thanks for stopping by as always. Gambler I'm gonna have to swing over and see how your ebb and flow adventures are going. I'm hoping as well as mine, and I'm sure with your skills they are.

Hey Cali you said you wanted to switch over to ebb and flow right? Seems like I remember when I first got on this site you had an ebb and flow set up going. Had a problem with some sativas I think right, they got completely out of control? Any ways give it a try again, my WW is lovvvving it!

The girls are really pretty happy. They are packing on the weight, and everyday there is new bud growth, I'm becoming a little more optimistic. The clones have taken root, and will be going into some cups with hydroton tomorrow, for a week or two to get a bit of size. Then I'll be picking my new mom(s), and flowering the rest. The current batch has 4-5 mores weeks to go, depending on how long I let them go. Maybe I'll pull half of them in 4 weeks(when they are at 8 weeks) and cut the other half at about 10 weeks. This strain is supposed to be 10 weeks from when they show flower, my last run I had to cut them at 8 due to mold. I'm hoping that won't be an issue this time since I have my dehumidifier. At 8 weeks, it was some damn good smoke. So I'm curious to see if its any differant at 10 weeks. Then I'll be able to have a plan for future batchs. I don't have a total count on how many clones I have, but I believe somewhere around 20-25. I'll count on keeping 10-15 of those for the trays, and then some moms.

Well thats about all thats going on really. Hope everything is well in your worlds! Oh I'll prolly have my little girl by the end of this month, maybe by the end of next week!!! Latta Guys TC

Glad to hear all is well bro!

Keep it up!

subscribed. looks pretty good

Hey guys whats goin on!

Just a quickie for ya today, and pics prolly later this week.

The girls are looking pretty good still, I finally did my rez change last week, and upped the bloom nutes. All but one of the girls seemed to like it. It has been a runt since the begining, and i hadn't known whethe it was gonna make it all along, but it did until now. I think it might have been nute locked or something it hadn't grown for about 2 weks, and then started to yellow out. So I chopped it yesterday. I might get a 1/4 off it, I'm thinking more like 5-6g. We'll see in a couple more days its hanging to dry. Other wise everything is doing decent.

My clones took new clones are hanging in there, but I don't plan on cloning in flower anymore if I can at all avoid it. Several of them got mold on the spots that had bud growth, so I lost about 6 of them. I've got about 15 left, so hopefully atleast 10 make it, lol. I really don't want to loose my WW genes.

I put my other 2 kush seeds, and 5 mango seeds in some paper towel today to start germinating. I also put in 5 seeds from what is supposed to be shiva shanti I believe it was called. Its part sativa, and the seeds looked premature, but I figured I'd throw them in and see what happens.

Well I'm out for this week guys, I'll catch ya later on......Peace TC

Man, I feel like you went to war or some shit.

We used to get these regular TC style updates with pics and the like, and now its just Dear John letters.

Fuckin A man, make it home to us and the internet safely!

Lol, I deffinitely miss being able to just hop on the net, and come see what was going on with you guys! The remote updates suck for sure. I wish there was a foreseeable end to them, but I have no clue when I'll be getting net at the house.

I appreciate the sentiment though.

I'm glad to report that things are still going well with the girls in flower. That one little girl I chopped the other day is smokable now, and its actually pretty decent for only being 5 weeks in flower.

I'm unhappy to report that my dehumidifier has broken. It was free, and old so I guess I'm glad it lasted this long. I'm hopeing to be able to spring for a new one with my next pay check. I'm also prolly going to be finally getting some more seeds too. The WW clones I took are really not doing well at all. At this point I'm hopeing that 2 of them make it. So I'll be getting some more WW with the seed order for sure. Once I decide on everything, I'll let you know what I've got coming, but I'm excited about the variety I'm looking at.

Of the seeds I started germing the other day, they have all but one of the shiva santis sprouted tap roots. I put them into rockwool last night. One of the shivas, and one of the mangos already lost their shells and have milk leaves. I imagine the others will only be a day or so.

I think thats about all thats going on. I'm heded to lowes to get some ducting finally to finish the venting in the rooms. Then I'll finally get somemore pics up for you guys to see the growth. Talk to you all soon! Peace TC

.... ..... Did you say pic's?

Yes I did 5, yes I did. You might actually get ehm tomorrow, I found a new spot to get online which is about 10minutes closer to my house, and I am changing one of my rezs tomorrow so I'll try to snap some pics for you all. I'm splitting up my harvest, I'm gonna harvest some of them at 8 weeks, like I did last time, and I'm gonna leave some till 10 weeks since thats what the seed company says they take. They were sweet at 8 weeks last time, but I'd like to see if they get better, or differant at 10 weeks. So tomorrow I'm gonna switch out one of my rezs to just plain ph'd water, and run the next 2 weeks to flush about half the plants. After the first week of flushing, I'm gonna cut the watering times down from every 2 hours during lights on, to about twice a day, to try to get the platns to finish up, and use up as much of the water in them as possible. We'll see how it goes. So I'll prolly get back on with the pics tomorrow like i said, peace guys TC

AHhhh, so you won't believe this!!!!


So I told you my dehumidfier went out, well three days later I'm checkingout the buds, and I find a small spot of mold. So yesterday, I made the decision to cut them a week and a half early again. I hated doing it, but I didn't want to take a chance on loosing bud from the mold. Its all trimmed and drying now. Its kind of a bummer, but itall looks really good. I've been smoking that little plant I cut about 2 weeks ago, and it smokes good, so I'm sure this will all be good once it dries. I still never got the pics, cus my camera battery went dead, but I'll take some of the buds. I weighed it wet, and tried to get an estimate on the dry weight, and I am fairly confident I'll have about 11 oz, thats a low estimate as well. We'll see in week or so.

I believe one of the WW clones that looked so bad, is going to make it, and I also pt in my mango seeds, and it looks like 4 of them are gonna grow up nice. I'm gonna have some down time on my flood tables, but I'll be back up and running by the end of october hopefully. By then the humidity will be coming down, and I'll have a dehumidifier by then too. I'm gonna be ordering some new genetics in the next week or two as well, I need to get some seeds, and some moms, so I can keep a cycle going.

Hope everything is well in all your gardens, and lives. Its down to the last couple days or weeks till my daughter gets here, and we're getting pretty excited. I'll check in as soon as I can! Peace TC

Sorry to hear about the mold TC!

I had a bad encounter myself and am now addicted to my beastly 65 pint dehumid!

Hope all goes well!
