OMG! What's that one bloody long twisty cola'd plant in the foreground? It looks so EPIC. I want one! That just looks like the SoG grower's dream right there man. Wow.

Wonderfully done. You have a talent for this!
and how did that plant's cola grow out in a spiral?

Hey fellas thanks for swinging over!

I thought the spiraling on that plant was pretty cool too. Its one of the reasons I have kept it around. It is just genetics, and is great in the sog. I've got 4-5 of them in flower right now, and most are above the edge of my light, and are leaning on it . Its a random strain I got from my brother that came from a bag he thought was particularly good. I grew out 5 of them, 2 males 3 fems. Of the fems, 2 hermied, but this one was stable, and has very dense buds in a great growth pattern. Its a sort of sweet weedy smell, nothing much to speak of in that department, but decent smoke all around. I think the non connoisseur would be very pleased to get a bag of it, and the connoisseur would say eh its some decent smoke . Thats how I feel about it next to Cindy for example. That being said I wish CIndy had the growth formation and bud density that plant does! I'm very excited about a couple of the platinum delights because they show the potential to have this same kind of structure with a bit less stretch so they might not jump above my light .

Well I bought a gallon of Iso today . I've got 3 seperate batchs prepped and freezing. 2 are 30g batchs of sweet trim, and the other is a 10g batch of chopped Cindy buds . I'm gonna do 2 washs on each of these over the next few days one at a time. I'm just letting them all freeze real well right now and letting the alcohol chill. Soo between one of the batchs I will do a step by step for you guys, and give you start to finish on that particular batch.

Which one do you wanna see a trim batch which will yield higher, or the Cindy buds which........ well they are Cindy buds .

Gd morning TC,hope yure havin a great day and do a dab for me,ole raider could use it,lol.cheers.

Morning Raider, I'll do one for ya, and one for your busted up back .

Things are going well today, cleaned up the kitchen, and have been playing some video games. I'm about to go make some QWISO, and then build a closet in my bedroom.

Hope everyone is also having a nice day!

GOOOd MOrning RIU!!

Yesterday went well, and today should too! I ended up doing 2 sweet trim extractions yesterday. I kept the first wash from each separate, but mixed the second washes. The first wash is almost done evaping. It looks about done, but I wanna give it the full 24 hrs I've been getting such good results with. I decided to do the step by step on the Cindy bud wash. I hope it turns out now that I did that...... I will prolly start that later today, I might wait till tomorrow after my other A wash is finished evaping.

I got a table last night to set up one of my 2x4 flood trays in my veg room. I gotta dig out my other pump, and set everything up tonight hopefully. I'm gonna have to get real good about doing things on time cus I'm gonna have a very full tray. I also think I need to get another fan for my flower room to move some air around the back corner of my tray. OK I'm done brainstorming for now I think. I'm sure Ill check back in later, time to finish my coffee have a dab to start the day!!

Peace

And a gooooooood morning to you too sir.

Well figured I would sub (is there a button or something for that, or is this it)

Anyway loving your spiraling staircases of dank in that last flower pic..I just read this but I already forgot sorry.what strains are you growing?

Hey guys nice to see ya!!

Qwizo I've got a bunch of stuff going right now; C99 (female seeds), Sweet Deep Grapefruit (Dinafem), Powernap (Sincity Seeds), Sin's OG (SCS tester, a few different phenos), Platinum Delight (SCS tester, I think a couple phenos here too), a few White Widows left (G13 labs), and a few "NY Strawberry" (bag seed from NY, supposed to be "strawberry something" my brother said). I think that covers all the girls I've got flowering. In veg I have some Critical Jack (dinafem), Sinmint Cookies (SCS), Tangerine Power(SCS), Electric Lemon G (TH Seeds), more platinum delights and sin's OGs, and 2 autos for the solo cup competition whew... I think thats it.

I'm not really sure why but my autos look great, and my other seedlings are still struggling a bit. I should have just put them into the 6 inch pots like I was thinking about doing. I'm gonna get this flood tray set up, and then put them in there and hope they come around better. I can't figure you why they are fighting me.

Give it time bro. New house, plenty of strains. At least yours don't look like mine right now (although they are turning around). Looks like you got some space to work with at the new digs. Looking good though man.

a thunderkitty can you post up some more pics of you power nap please. id like to see how frosty she is. btw, Is that just your test room? or is that your flower production room? cause umm.. well. ive never seen anything like that before.

Thanks for stopping by smooth glad to have you on board. The extra space has been great, and is only gonna let me continue to improve things. I'm in the process of changing my whole system over to full hydro, which I should have done along time ago but didn't really have the room. I'm not eager to have more reservoirs to change but it should be worth it. I am gonna try to start getting plants into flower just a bit faster so they don't get as tall and I get better light to the outside ones....almost there .

Greenberg that last pic on the previous page is a view in the door of my flower room. I don't have a separate space for my testers unfortunately. The whole tester thing just kinda happened it wasn't a planned career move. That being said its a move I was excited to take, and hope I'm able to develop it more as time passes. I am really getting excited about these platinum delights the structure is getting nicer daily, if they turn out as frosty they will be keepers!

I'm hoping the "never seeing anything like it" isn't a bad thing . The basic principles I use I modeled alot after Al B Fucts grow on here back in the day. I have adapted things to my own style so to say, though I'm not sure its always been advantageous, and not just me being lazy...... I'm in the process of making some more changes, and trying to ensure they are productive changes.

Now off to start my step by step oil tutorial!

Hope all is well in the thundercat domain...OLe Al B, man tht brings back some memorys.
I remember when pr was doing alot here,now not so much lol .Who really knows.
Love the spiral bud,got some plans for tht strain?
Beech

Things are really good man I can't complain. How you feeling this week?

Honestly I am prolly letting that strain go, it has been decent, but I don't think really worth keeping. I don't know I suppose I could add it to my breeding project list with the powernap male, and or the extrema male. I've still got a mother of it, but no current clones.

Ya Al B had some good info, and I miss Gypsy Bush who also helped influence my decision to go with a single cola SOG style grow. I talked to him a few months back via PM, if I remember correctly he was is south america some place. Lol that crazy Gypsy!

Well the first half of the step by step is done, and photographed. Now its evaping....which I'm gonna go take a picture of now that I think of it. I will put it all together tomorrow when I scrape it, and finish it up.

Alot ,better than last few days man,Pulling them jaw teeth is not no fun!
Didnt sleep for over 2 days,even with the pain meds,they seem to wire
me up.And only I get like 2-3hrs then throb throb.

You remember Earl? Hydro guy tht had the shuttle.lol
Beech

I think I may have read through something about a hydro space shuttle. Was it like 2 totes with tubes between them, all wrapped in a bunch of insulation under a light?

Thats it.I liked earl even tho he had his moments.What about Panhead from Mich?Cool dude.
Beech

I do not remember Panhead.

Since we are playing this remembering game....How about my boy old King Spade? That kid had a good heart, and it was awesome watching him go from the cardboard box closet grow to his duel flood trays!

I got my veg room a little more set up tonight. I got the tray on the new table I bought, and got the rez and pump ready to go. I gotta figure out my plan on nutes for it. I'm debating staying with the regular lucas formula GH for the whole life of the plant. I was also considering trying something else. Its about time for me to buy nutes any way.

I raised my light in my flower room to cover my plants better, i'm hoping I don't notice any extra stretch with the young plants. One of the Sin's Ogs had to get staked up today, it was to heavy to stand any more! The other one has alot of crystally calyxs on it, but they aren't nearly as densly formed, or as bulky yet. I'm interested to see how they continue to develope. I'm feeling like the more dense plant could easily be a an early finisher from the looks of her, maybe 7 weeks, which will mean about one more. We'll see I'll let her go longer if she needs it. I'm thinking 2 more weeks on the power nap, and atleast 2-3 on the other Sin's OG. The SDG maybe give it 2. Its been just over 7 weeks since they went into 12/12, and about 5.5-6 since most started showing flowers from my records.

Dont remeber him.
Dude i ran the lucas F for yrs just because its so forgiving.
To be honest not happy with yields, till i added Bonts Sweet.

Its just to hot here for res temps and ive yet to get a chiller
Go figure a guy does A/C and work and wont buy a Chiller lol.
Its 82f Rt now @ 530am and High is gonna be 104f
Beech

Holy shit man its hot there. So I was just thinking about it, I bet you could make a chiller real easy with stuff you have laying around. Mount a small diffuser(maybe an old heater core) in front of a AC, and have a pump push water through it down to a coil in your res? Could be a cheap build to drop temps. My most recent res is made out of a 45 gallon cooler, and once I got my temps where I needed them, the cooler helped a ton for keeping them there. Just a thought anyway, I bet you could build it for less then $50 if you had an AC laying around. Hell with your knowledge of said things you could prolly take the ac apart a bit and make the whole chiller 100% more effective then just a diffuser infront of the AC....mayeb mount it inside. Heck maybe you could run a coil beside the refridgerant coil in the AC, and to transfer heat...... Sorry I get brainstorming, and come up wiith all kinds of ideas, like you couldn't tell that from following this thread . Sometimes they are good ideas, sometimes they are incredibly bad .

Cindy oil is scraped (and dabbed ), the last shots are being taken, and then I'll get it all put together to post! All I'm gonna say right now is mmm-mmm-mmmm.
