A bump for our unloved Hotsause and his sticky Durban Poisan.


What with the topic of water on here, does anybody use Rain Water for their plants? I am collecting rain water from my greenhouse, I have a water drum on my terrace. I use it mainly for my greenhouse but occassionally water the girls with it. There is different opinions about rain water. ONe guy I met in the Dam was shocked I was using rain water. But then I look about and see the amoun of green foliage and plants growing around Amsterdam I wonder what the big issue is....

I see people going on about their ph.....this is something i tend never to measure, just never felt the great need for it. Perhaps we are lucky and just have decent water. I also tend not to bother too much with leaving water out now either. Previously I would draw it 24-36 hours before use, now that I don't I really don't see any difference.

Not sure if anyone else feels the same....?1?!?

Sun is shining today.

I have read it put this way DST about water. If you can drink it, it's probably ok for your plants. This grow, I have not measured my ph once. Not in my soil and not in my liquids. Plants look the best so far out of all my grows. I've also recently read that some chlorine in your water is actually good for the plants. If you read enough stuff, you'll find contradictory statements about things you thought you knew to be true.

Just a pic of my current grow.

Doing five "Red Dragon" plants in a 48"x48"x60" growbox with a 600 watt mH & HPS set up.
Growing in a mix of 40% Ocean Forest, 40% sphagnum peat moss and 20% perlite.
Germinated directly in soil using 4" square starter pots, transplanted to 3.3 gallon round pots and started LST when enough time for the roots to expand had been given.
Unfortunately for my plants, I got sick and then hurt my back to the point where I slacked off on moving the light fixtures up in a timely manner (the first 35 days of vegging were under 480 watts of 48" T12 lights).
There was some minor leaf damage on a few of the leaves when the lights where left to touch them for too long, though nothing too bad.

My back is much better, so I'm finally able to tend to my herbs in the manner that they deserve to be cared for!

The plants tips have grown to where they are loosely clipped to the rim of the pots and are wrapped about 3 to 4 inches around the rim so far.
Gave them their first taste of nutes with last night's watering (Pure Blend Pro, Berry Sweet, Liquid Karma) so I should see an increase in growth rate since they're also under the mH HID now.
Will be taking some cuttings from the taller branches for clones (will be my first attempt at cloning), and to make the branches a little closer in size to each other as they flower by using the tallest branches for clones, as well as to clear the way for when the tips have grown full circle and it's time to top them and start flowering.
It's my first time trying the LST method, and am liking what see.

My last harvest is holding strong (about 5 ounces, dry) and I believe I'll have enough to last me until my next harvest.
It's heavy-duty couch lock material, and I've been enjoying the fruits of my labors prodigiously! bongsmilie

Wouldn't you know it, I come from the land where Jesus is and I'm sick to death of these bible thumpers coming to my door to try to 'save' me.

And freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.

One last thing before I sign off this morning. I changed out a piece of my ducting last night, while my lights were on. I cannot tell you guys what a pleasure these new rope ratchet light hangers are for moving your lights. It has got to be one of the easiest ways to raise or lower your lights. Less than twenty bucks a pair and it puts using chain to shame. If you do not have a good way to hang your lights or have trouble raising or lowering them, I cannot recommend enough these light hangers.

Rope ratchet light hangers. Get ya' a pair or two, you won't regret it.

OK I lied, one last thing. I want to thank one of my six hundred brothers for the beans. I've been wanting to try some headband and yesterday I received two headband beans along with a couple of other strains. Thank you my brother, you know who you are. All it takes is a little trust and we can supply each other with beans. As the curious old fart says....so many strains, so little time.

Gonna' have me a trainwreck.

Indeed, there is a lot of reading material out there and a lot of contradictory thoughts and views on this that and the next. I guess that's why I just go with the flow of the plants.
And that's what I figure. If it falls on the ground and everything else grows, why not use the water from the sky.

Headsup-my first indoor grow I never read the ph and had 2 different nutes, one part for a veg nute, and one part for a flower nute. I used the nutes together, and got some nice buds. But whne you start adding more nutrients to your res, then your risk nutrient lockout do to the bad ph. If the ph is too low your roots will die off pretty quickly, if its too high, you will get lockout pretty quickly. But if you dont add "alot" of nutes to your res then ph might not matter that much. It might be like going to the dentist though, you dont actually have a cavity until the dentist says so. So if you never read your ph, maybe the ph is always perfect.

I understnad ph with hydro or non soil based growing, however, I think when dealing with soil/coco organics etc, ph doesn't seem the most pressing matter...but then that's me.

lemon larry?? is that lemon OG? The OG cut i have is the larry cut (aka SFV cut). I have grown lemon OG, and the yield was good, but the strain stressed way to easy for me, even ended up with some seeds from a small heat issue. If two weeks is all it takes to lose your patience, then you must really enjoy the whole process. You can put clones in a cloning device, but I dont have any pumps or timers or anything to worry about when using rockwool.
yea its lemon OG..but the larry cut is sfv..crossed with lemon larry..i was gonna get the cali connection ones but i hear they have straight lemon larry or something closer 2 it..but the one u were talking about is a a good candidate..and i jus mean that i can take 21 days and have some nice bushes from seed..that a clone that takes 14-18days 2 put some roots down..and cloners r expensive a good one atleast..with atleast 60 sites..id rather root them myself but if the cloner is gonna ceritfy me 5 extra days shaved off rooting time..ill take it..

Head Up-Not yet..i have some beans ive been collecting from diffrent breeders all SSH..i actually got addicted b4 i even thought about growin..i got a ounce one day in a whirlwind trade..and fell in love..waking up and smoking all these sour pungent kushes everyday..that one first sugar rush of a hit had me..i felt like everything was so good..it jus makes u feel good..and i was high forever..that sad part of this story is that i couldnt get anymore..i had 2 request it on cali trips..

Looking good bro. That Red Dragon is a strain that I was seriously considering for a long time. I am real interested in seeing how it turns out, so please keep posting updates and most importantly a smoke report. Keep up the good work and I hope your health improves.

Strictly, I'm using soil, not hydro. I only want to know about hydro because I'm about to build a cloner when all the parts finally arrive. I'm waiting for the neoprene plugs and my pump, should be here monday. Let me be clear, I am no expert on growing, I'm a newb as far as I'm concerned. This is something like my sixth grow. I've tried to learn from each one and one of the things I learned rather rapidly, keep it simple stupid. I also read, read, read. Not all the time and not everyday but I read up on our subject. There are differing opinions about everything. The other thing I am trying to learn is to 'read' my plants, let them tell me if they need something or more of something. I feed them very light strength doses of nutes almost every day. One nute for grow and one for flower. If they are not being fed nutes then they are either getting cal-mag or liquid karma, which they get every once in a while. I'm noticing some early yellowing of my bottom fan leaves and I've just switched my light over. Tomorrow evening when the lights come on, they'll get a good does of grow nutes for some extra nitrogen. Other than that, they look great. I even took two of my plants over to my vietnam vet buddy's house this evening and they are now under the big hps in the sky.

I was over my buddy's house this evening checking out his girls under the sun, they look very nice. It was starting to get dark so it was hard to really see them. I can tell you guys this, he's going to have one cola about two feet long. The whole plant is nothing but one huge cola. There is no side branching. This thing is about three feet or so and it is already leaning from the weight of the bud. Barring any unforeseen tragedies, he's going to have some real huge bud. I am so impressed I brought two of my babies over to his yard this evening to finish doing their thing in the great outdoors. I'm a bit concerned taking them from an indoor environment and putting them into the sweltering heat, but what the hell, they are not the only two plants in the world. I'll try to remember my camera next time I visit which should be tomorrow, I left my grinder there tonight after my memory left.

got a question for club 600, how close can you run 2 600 hps in a 48" dual cooltube at 82-84f. and how much closer on a mover
