Did you buy that grape ape from a seedbank? That looks like a great one. Grape ape is one of my favorite smokes, grew it outdoor but wasn't able to keep cuttings. Was the total melt your body into the fucking couch cushion type medicine.

Passed down from close friend.. the clone is like 6 years of cuttings. Not a bit of vigor lost... This is my xanax

Yea I have always doubted the whole losing vigor thing didn't make sense to me. There are tons of clone only strains that have been around for a decade. I love the look of it and the structure, looks very chronic. Cheers man!

Man thas good tp here. Ypu should get some keepers from ur beans.. AOS is an awesome strain. The biggest yoelder is gonna be the non purping one.. ill be posting mpre pics later..i really apreciate the kind words, i try to learn something new every run.. im actually trying ur myco tea.. its breawing aa we speak.. your ne er to old to learn new tricks.. can u point me in the directipn of tha thread. Maybe i can shoot buddy some friendly tips..

Ohhh yeah te trics on the plushses and the AOS are 50% bright pi.k. stalk and all. Its gonna hard to tell when these bitches are ready. Im gonna take some scope shots later..

Anyways thanks for stopping....

You must spread some Reputation
around before giving it to

I actually got the tip from reading a high times article about brewing the tea.The guy they call the wizard he is from california someplace.It was one of his techniques brewing the tea before it ever goes down..he sprays his plants with it and adds it to the water he is going to feed them.I tried it it works well..very healthy plants and it just makes sense to activate the little beasties before they ever go into the soil or on the plant.larger colony's of active micos doing there thing.The guy we were talking about is on a thread trying to prove that defoilation of the fan leaves is the greatest thing since sliced bread.You have already posted on this thread. So you know who it is already.
I have made great use out of a product called orca film.Depending on how you use it not every grow is the same it ill increase production and consistency through your plants if you can utilize it.
I lay it on the floor underneath my plants to reflect light back up into the plants and have made curtains to put around the sides of my plants hanging off of ratchet straps for easy ajustment it comes down next to the sides of the plants.the curtains are around 2.5 ' so they allow air movement around the curtains.The orca film i cant say enough about it to increase light output from your existing lights.The stuff is worthy of the noble prize for indoor growers it is that good.It diffuses and intensifies light like nothing else i have ever seen and you do not have to plug it in.
The plush berry will tell you when its done.After the hairs start turning orange the bud will start turning pink purple and calyx up the leaves will draw down to fall colors also.

can you imagine querkle done in 48 days?The taste of it is like sweet lemon candy or lemon pudding and it feels like someone shot you in the face with novacaine ?Freakin amazing
You know that jar at the dispensary ?That one jar they keep at the very back of the other jars?Yea..that one they never show you because it is so expensive..this is probably whats in it.
The nugs are super hard.small though..But lots of them.Thank god you got the space queen pheno.I havnt tried the purple grape pheno. But this ones a keeper for sure.Had her about five years.Takes a good grower to grow her productive though. she responds well to everything you throw at her and takes it like a champ.I really wish i could post some pics.Some times i call her the Porche plant she is fast and the harder you drive her the better she handles.:hump:I cant wait to see your plants finish,they are going to be awsome

Just a question buddy. Do you move your plants frequently to the direct arc of the bulb?Lumens are tested for bulbs at one ft off of the bulb anything that can be done to focus the energy of the bulb in the direction you want it to go is a plus.Is the room have cooling to where you can go without glass around your bulb?This will increase light and spectrum output but will also add heat and energy costs.Allot of companys have come out with the giant size hoods within the last few years..although better than the old small hoods that they used to make.Like the super cobra they are no where near as good as a person can make themselfs.It takes a decent degree of know how to make custom hoods though that most people do not posses.Ive been thinking about making custom hoods for custom growers.The only thing is making hoods out of mirror polished stainless steel is rather expensive but there is no better material to focus intensify and direct light than mirror polished stainless.Orca film has a video on you tube they show where the use or orca film increase's lux output by 50%.Who couldnt use another 50% growth for the cost of a couple of HID bulbs?You should see this 5x5 hood we just designed as a proto type for my veg room.It is HUGE.A 600 watt bulb looks from visuals like its putting out 1000 watts of light.The light is diffused,directed and focused.We made it out of orca film and mirror polished stainless.The orca film keeps it light weight.The guy at the grow shop says that film has like 95% reflectivity.Way higher than mylar film.Our next project is to design a digital timer for flood and drain ebb and grow buckets that can control as many control buckets as you want..the one we are going to build will control 4 control buckets at the same time.Every company who builds these control systems like titan and capp use the cheapest timers and floats money can buy and they break down.
I have a very strong back ground in electrical and mechanical engineering and my buddy has a strong back ground in air flow and duct design engineering.
I like the look of the bucket you made.You can really tell the beasties are going at it by the foam on top of the bucket.STRONG colonies of micos being brewed in that bucket..promise.
All you have to do is add a little water and some carbs from time to time and let em breed.Most of the micos ive seen and used are really expensive.
talk to you soon off to work for now.

Just a question buddy. Do you move your plants
frequently to the direct arc of the bulb?

- Yes man i do. Its only because im testin strains..
I usally run 12 ladys under 1gee. I got a little carried away.plus i had some mothers i had to flower out..

Lumens are
tested for bulbs at one ft off of the bulb anything
that can be done to focus the energy of the bulb in
the direction you want it to go is a plus.Is the room
have cooling to where you can go without glass
around your bulb?This will increase light and
spectrum output but will also add heat and energy
costs.

- Dont like heat or energy consumption.. ill stick to the air tubes.

Allot of companys have come out with the
giant size hoods within the last few years..although
better than the old small hoods that they used to
make.Like the super cobra they are no where near
as good as a person can make themselfs.

- i was thinking of maybe making an air cooled parabolic umbrella. Im suprised no one has done one yet. Or have they?

It takes a
decent degree of know how to make custom hoods
though that most people do not posses.Ive been
thinking about making custom hoods for custom
growers.The only thing is making hoods out of
mirror polished stainless steel is rather expensive
but there is no better material to focus intensify and
direct light than mirror polished stainless.

-Gotta spend money for quality.

Orca film
has a video on you tube they show where the use
or orca film increase's lux output by 50%.Who
couldnt use another 50% growth for the cost of a
couple of HID bulbs?

- Im seriosly thinking about making the investment and covering the entire room with it. Floor and all. How hard is it to clean?

You should see this 5x5 hood
we just designed as a proto type for my veg room.It
is HUGE.A 600 watt bulb looks from visuals like its
putting out 1000 watts of light.The light is
diffused,directed and focused.We made it out of
orca film and mirror polished stainless.

-Wish i could see it. Sounds intersting. Send me a message with pic.;)

The orca
film keeps it light weight.The guy at the grow shop
says that film has like 95% reflectivity.Way higher
than mylar film.

- Do u run orca all around your room and floors?

Our next project is to design a
digital timer for flood and drain ebb and grow
buckets that can control as many control buckets
as you want..the one we are going to build will
control 4 control buckets at the same time.Every
company who builds these control systems like
titan and capp use the cheapest timers and floats
money can buy and they break down.

-And they charge an arm and a leg for....

I have a very strong back ground in electrical and
mechanical engineering and my buddy has a
strong back ground in air flow and duct design
engineering.

- i am interested in that custom hood u made out of the orca and aluminum.

I like the look of the bucket you made.You can
really tell the beasties are going at it by the foam on
top of the bucket.STRONG colonies of micos being
brewed in that bucket..promise.
All you have to do is add a little water and some
carbs from time to time and let em breed.

- Thats exactly what i did. I added a tsp of 0-13-0 bat guano and some more molasses.

Most of
the micos ive seen and used are really expensive.
talk to you soon off to work for now.

I use extreme gardening soluble, and granular mycos.
What do u use?

Thanks for all the info man. Its priceless and i will share the wealth.. peace.

How you said your gonna make your night temps down even further then they currently stay to 66 at night I assume that's to bring out the color changing effects. I am curious, to get the temps even lower then your established day night cycle, do you increase the ac or do you increase your intake/exhaust fan speeds? Curious to see your approach because I am planning on doing something similar the last few weeks to get my purple and cherry strains to change colors.
