growinman's grow

Thanks for the comments, onenumcat! But why do you keep saying you dont know anything.....and I know you mean hydro, but the basics are the same. And I like your cutting the lights on time idea down to 10-11hrs......but as you thought, I cant do it because of everything else in there.......now after what I read last night I am afraid of them going hermie on me-----thinkin' I am ready to just have that crap out of there!
onenumcat, I always appreciate what you say and I thank you for following this along.
Now, your grow, on the other hand........is a work of art in its' own rights! You talk about 'hydro' like it's much different than soil. I cant imagine the work you have to do to get soil in and out of that apt, but it has to be a pain in the ....... it's just so much easier to go to the faucet to get my medium(and get rid of it tooooooo)<------and I am out in the bush! I just cant believe I didn't try hydro sooner. I wanted the real organic soil bud that tastes sooooo much better and is that much better for you too!!<<--if that isn't the biggest line of shit.......maybe I did the soil wrong for all those years, but the buds I grow now in hydro are completely superior to the soil grown that I was growing a year ago......other than my bubble cloner, 7 months ago I was still 100% in soil......(read the FoxFarm threads........).
And I am not trying to get you or anyone else to switch to hydro, but definately, just dont be afraid of it. If you can grow in soil you can grow in hydro(where, imo, the options are always endless; making it FUN fine tuning this and that, tweeking this and that.....) So, you screw something up mid-grow.........change res........simple as that. I dont think I ever did a 'real' flush when I was in soil. Now I run them a good week to 10 days on plain h2o and have some clean fresh bud....

Anyway, work to do.......

alright, you're right, I do know a little...about soil. (I think I'm getting a slight ph problem now, maybe, lol)
haha, 'the work', that's a laugh. I don't drive, so I have to lug all my soil from the garden store...on foot! forget about hauling it all upstairs, but I do that too. getting supplies here, in JP, was really hard. soil seemed the simplest, but I am swaying towards trying hydro...after getting a few soil grows under my belt...successful grows that is, hahaha.(and doing a shit load of studying about it)
I guess the only 'work of art' about my grow is the lights...god, what a revelation that was. I'm not really too sure how well they're working...I mean, if they're working better than regular...but it sure looks kool!!!
believe it or not, I'm using mostly straight water now...there are some solid nutes in the soil, that I added when transplanting. that's just because I don't really have any good liquid nutes.
as for the Mazar, if it isn't holding up the rest of your grow, just let it go and hope for some really stoney weed!

VANDY.....I hope your checking here, dude.......your pm box is full and I cant answer you............ go and delete in your control panel.......

Fucking shit!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just had this all written up and this fucker just dissappeared when I tried to submit it.................................
Better go a toke...........FUCK!!!

I'll fill in the blanks later......excuse my lingo---very rare for me, but I dont get out much, haha...

SeriousSeeds AK47
This is my keeper(I am not writing all of this again!), she's #3....and will go to 12/12 in a few days to see how she stretches(hopefully, lack of...) And yes, it's toooo hot in there and the leave are curling up...

Pretty nice, tight nodes........





DWC vegger with AK#2, #3, #7, and G13-LABS WW


I 'll get a couple of moms out of these and compost the rest....The WW is kicking ass too and clones real quick/easy and loves the nutes a bit too much....will have to run her on her own next round.

Yeah, I am trying them in here to with my WF MoonFlower and SS to see what will run together.....




They all stretched to keep up with the sativa dom AK #6 ---and I need to go with 2 600's and not a 1000........cool tubes coming soon to a grow near you.....

To the left in the room pic are 4 WFMF that I 've been running for a few years now......you wouldn't believe how sweet this stuff is and STICKY!!!

Sticky??


That's at 30 something days 12/12 and will now really fill out nice!

Got mo lato, Mange!

what up growinman?
see you're still on the green thumb.haha
where did all that snow came from in may?
looking great, love the pix.

Amazing dude, #3 ak is definitely a keeper I think you should take a clone from her and put the clone to flower as soon as it's ready, that way you have #3 in veg always, I'd say it's 95% female since the males usually stretch more but I think it's preferable to clone from a vegging mom but who am I to give you advice, you're my hero dude. The Moonflower looks phenomenal, heft took the words right out of my mouth. I have one complaint though, monthly updates will not be acceptable, weekly at the least. You wiiiilllll comply!

Hefta!!! Long time! Great to see your still here! I need to look to see if you got another journel going again!! I think you must have the record on the autos!
I 've kind of been in and out if you know what I mean.....though the room hasn't had any time off.
Snow in May.....haha! Yeah, and I am willing to bet the mountains were just getting some this week......PNW weather......
Great to hear from you and I look forward to a watching a grow by you again soon! -------what do you have lined up??

Hey there dikncider!! Well, I posted these pics in here mainly to show you where mine are at.....and yes, #3 is a girl---all of the ones I kept are(I did get some pollen too). What you see are the clones I need to pic a mom from, just wanted to make sure it's going to be #3 before I ditch any of the others.
I think I started these back in march or april and haven't really been in a big hurry to run them as I had other things to finish up(still do) is why I sex them the way I do(and these all showed by about 4-5 wks in veg). I keep about 7 mothers, soon to be 9 unless I can let one or two of these strains go; is why I am holding high hopes on this AK.... There's a couple of other strains I want to try too........you know.....
So the one I have in the dwc is going to 12/12 hopefully saturday though I dont have a great place to put it--I may give it it's own light to see what I can do with the stretch...... ru8fru seems to have disappeared and he had the most beautiful AK and was my inspiration for going this way.
Hey, I 'll get some more pics up of her before she's goes in....and I 'll be keeping an eye for you to get some new pics too

Well, the AK pheno I was going to get into 12/12 didn't get out there yet....so I topped it last night---didn't get a pic after.... and I am now debating what to do with it. I really dont have the room it's going to need(I 'll just keep playing with it and do whatever, whenever.....).The 12/12 room is full.....so the flower room is full, veg room full, cloner full....shit, I still have to get this fem PPP going.


The WW really stretched from raising the light for the other girls, but is just now starting to pack on some buddage. All of the AK(even the ones that stretched) are really doing good considering they're just now going into their 4th week 12/12. I hit them too hard with the liquid KoolBloom, which I am regretting having even purchased after what I 've read. We'll see..... but I burnt all of the tips over the weekend so flushed last night and running strong at 1200ppm(3, 7, 12) as they had been taking 1500 real easy after the first few days in.....it still looks like the WW is N def, but I am going to run it as is.
Funny thing: I think I've found the strain that will equal my SS as far as speed growing the buds....<-----it has caught up with the SS and now getting bigger.
Sorry for the bad pics again...The one light had just come on and I was in a hurry to get the pics and I blurred most of them..... I will get better one later this week.....



The AK47 is also looking to hold a pretty even canopy: we'll really see next run when it's all AK in the AF20.....

So, I have about 15 8-10" AK clones that need to be gone so I can get some new ones in there in a couple of weeks......thinking to put them outside or something.......

Post some pics dude!

what's up man hows life! it's been a while i know it's easy to get busy and forget about this site for a while. i'm on my last grow of the season right now, have some beauties and i'm supplementing the HPS with 100w of t5 which are great...it will def be my best yet! alright man hope all is well with you hope to see you around here soon!

Hey there, guys.......and sb, very long time!! You gonna get some pics of those girls up?? And when do you plan to start running again? I am sure you have a fun summer planned!!<--u must, if it's getting you out of the growing for a bit.......but then you had the heat probs too...... Thanks a lot for stopping in, had been wondering what had happened to you---so many just dropped off without saying anything.....

and dikncider, here's the pics.........

yeah, I burnt the tips and had to flush----I had gotten res tanks confused and doubled the nutes in the AF20.....they've come out fine, just now I have the WW and a couple of the AK47(#4) that stretched up to the lights and now heat is an issue for them as the AK47(#3's) are all staying short and now really packing on the weight. I believe these pics were from fri the 22nd? just before the hps's came on.

The 27th starts their 6th week---seems like I 've been saying wk 5 for a couple of weeks now(I have been but checked the schedule for this today)-----and it looks to be at least 3-4 wks out atm... I am thinking I did stress them with the nutes. I 'll probably still start a flush in two weeks. I hope to get them ready where they can take on the dry KoolBloom the last 7-10 days before flushing......they are now:
AF20 (AK47(#3)4, AK47(#4)4, WW 4, SS 5) 17 total
1200ppm w/GH Flora Series(2.5ml gro, 7ml micro, 12ml bloom, 3-4ml liquid KoolBloom)
27gal res; the above was mixed w/22 gal----and they're drinking about 3 gal a day now......
Temps have been a bit high at times(82 highest) but stays pretty much 77F w/lights on, and the RH has remained about 50%---the res temps are still "okay" but pushing it at 72 degrees.......

Oh yeah, pics.......haha! And again, I am sorry for not having them hosted elsewhere---would be much faster........I dont even know how to do them where you click on thumbs to see them......help..?

From 05-05-09







MoonFlower dripping at the start of wk 7 and start flushing tonight....this is my 'personal' smoke......and still the best weed I've ever smoked.....

Shit, sorry......thought I had shrunk some of the big bud pics---I will later if anyone's interested......this stuff I got from WeedFarmer about 5 yrs ago and cant find it anymore, anywhere(I cant). It grows real spindley, fluffy, small skinney stems..... I usually grow them one at a time in a corner or somewhere with a screen or cage. I grew 4 this time and looking to be about that many zips will cure out of it.....my July party smoke for the 4th and when out in the boat!<---cant wait!

Anyway, the MF is the table on the left in the room. The table straight in the back was another test that I 'll put up when it gets farther along. The AF20 will be all either ak#3 next run or WW, not sure but need to keep the canopy in check and I am done picking out my keeper phenos.
So, Mothered, there's my SS favorite, AK47(#3), WW(G13-Labs), WFMF, THC Bomb(m-seeds.nl) that I think I 'll just put outside as it doesn't really put out, if you know.......
I should have the 12/12 room empty by July 1.....but I really dont see that happening(shit, I have 20+ vegging and rtr, and a 50 site cloner that are popping roots........) I need to get out of here for a week or something......just leave the dogs outside......

Hope everybody is doing good on this Memorial Day!

hows it goin bro long time no here. finally got some internet and shit good to see your still around

.........you had to do it, didn't you. Haha!! Bump this bs thread, why dont you.....
Hey there, LONG TIME!! No you around, eh...? Come and go, come and go.......So what ever happened to that table you guys built?? How'd it do for you and are you running it?? Shit, now I see you've been around-----11% on the posts......where you been?? You got another journel hiding it from me, hahah?? Well, I am going to go find what you been up to bro...........lol.
Hey, I 'll start a new journel my next run of WW---I am a couple of weeks from harvest now........and got her dialed in pretty good........the mistake I made this run was running AK with it in the same system---they do different on the nutes, duh.....

Well, gdwm, great to see and know all's still good for you..... Now I'll go see if you got anything up, lol!!

yea i got a couple ill post the links im fixin to update my outdoor 1

so here goes.......... we had every thibg going great we were 3 trays in and found spider mites. we got rid of all of them no problem. then the day we went to put our 4th tray in we started finding seeds. yep FUCKIN SEEDS so i brought them to my house to let them finish cause the first tray only had 2 weeks left. well they got worsr and worse. i harvested the first few they were ok as far as smoke but as far as bud quality and everything it was all shit terrible some of the worst i seen lol. so i chopped all the immature buds on the others and saved the trimmings from the others to make hash. so my main right now is my out door. and waiting on our clones to get big enough to make mothers and start back at square 1 we have a bunch of good genetics to work with now. the og bagseed broke my heart though. i will pm you the links to a few threads though
