I know WCSX (94.7) but i'm not familiar with that name. They play some good shit though (all classic rock).

I'll be ready for Cali in just over a months time

My buddy at WCSX also goes by the name of Brent Alberts, (his real name). He's probably not "on the air" often, since he's in a management position. He DOES get some very nice medicine at the "OM" Dispensary.

Hey spot, what is your opinion on autoflowers?
They've always intrigued me for some weird reason.

Click to expand...

I Love auto flowers! There are a few that I would stay away from, but I've grown like.......8 different strains. My favorites, and well worth the money, are: Easy Ryder, Kannabia's Flash, LowRyder #2, and any auto strain from World of Seeds. WOS has got some wonderful indicas that kick ass. I have found that the buds tend to have a bit more "shrinkage", but the Flash got me over 3 Ozs and WOS autos......And, WOS autos are just as good as, and the yield is comparable to a "regular" strain. I'm into autos because I now know that the potency is NOT an issue, and putting together a perpetual grow is rather easy. I Love Auto Flowers!!!! IMHO! The shrinkage and airiness is symptomatic of the strain of autos you purchase. Flash is incredible. Big yielder!!!!! And the quality of the smoke.......Wonderful!

hey alotaball! all three of those ladies look absolutely wonderful man. Excellent job! Your going to have a FAT harvest my friend! Sheeesh! I wish I lived in a legal state damn it.

I'd be running like 10k watts along with all the 'top-notch' equipment.. and I'd have buds about like these, if not even bigger than these..

Anyhow, yeah.. excellent job man. This is by far one of the better looking grows on RIU, IMO.

Makes me want to start up a new grow right now.. but, its still too 'hot' around here... so I'm just going to wait until it either gets legalized here, or, I'll move back to my home state of New Jersey. I had actually planned on moving back to my home state this coming September or October.. but with the recent hurricane/storm damage and flooding.. I may not be able to get back there until after the first of the 'new year' of 2012. If I can't get back until January, then I'll go ahead and start a nice single, or maybe double plant grow.. that way I have something to toke on for the drive back to my home state of N.J.

Anyhow, good job man! This is a prime example of how a grow should be done.

peace.

Amazing brother.

Very nice job. Thanks for taking the time to show us all your work. I can see your a proud parent.

Could you fill us in on how your watering? Id love to hear your technique.

Do you water feed water , or? Also how many days in between the feedings and what strength of nutrients are in the feeding ( i.e 1/2 3/4..)

Your grows look awsome!! Those plants are what i strive for.


Also

Are you running under a 600w?

canna and bleed .. thanks for the kind words!! Im putting all kinds of new genetics in flower tonight or tomorrow.. Gonna try and get some querkle.. whiteberry .. dj short .. and skywalker, and Plat bubba into the tent ..... Wanna see which pheno is the strongest for my xmas run ...

I water about every other day .. sometimes every 3rd day.. depends how much they are drinking ... I water till I see runoff.... I feed once a week.... I dont break it into small feedings... its normally Feed... water.... water ... feed... water ... water.. ect ... lol

As for strengh .. with my General Hydroponics 3 part.. I never fed more then half strength .. Started at a 1/4 and worked my way up .... Now I am running some House and Garden nutes for a trial type thing .. and they are taking full strength .. and I em even having to supplement some of the bigger girls... It seems to work well... just not happy with the amount I have to use compared to the GH stuff.. But I will wait till the final product is done before I determine if ill run H&G again ....

No 600 bro.. two 1000's in a 8x4 tent

I've been feeding, water, feeding, water, feeding, water.
Not gonna do that next time, feed, water water.
Never knew you didn't hit full on GH, probably why my shit got burnt up.
I need a more accurate watering container then some green hand-waterer, one with gallon measurements obviously.

Dude... HG = GH backwards... it's a sign of success!
I think HG is the only other nute line I'll try, I just saw a 16oz dry NL plant, nugs the size of my body not my head. and they ran HG.
Pretty much 75% of the crazy plants I see got ran off HG, I hope that if it doesnt turn out better for you it still gets the job done.
But like you said, 60ML of nutes per 5gals is fucking ridic.


-edit.
hows the fam-bam man?
hows the new addition?
I bet you're running around with your head cut off specially with you starting up work again soon.
I can barely handle my green girls let alone human ones, fuck.

Steeze... dude the other night I fed 15ml per a GALLON so 75ml of A and 75 ml of B lol.... the bottles are half empty already and my girls are still not burnt.. well the hindu is momma is actually looking underfed .. BUT I am gonna wait to see the final product before I turn back to GH .. I have the bottles waiting ... I have 1 plant on GH anyhow for comparison reasons .. I know GH is reliable and works for me ..so we will see...

Fam bam is driving me nuts..
The new one is awesome .. just sleeps eats sleeps eats
I am running around with my head cutoff but I am trying to be lazy and enjoy my last weeks off.. because once I am back at work.. its gonna suck .. 60 hours of work + garden + kids = no free time lol.

I didnt share it last night.. but I took my 4 big aliens and gave them to my wifes grandma .. she has no meds.. and is going through cancer.. So I gave em too her .. they were taking up 4x4 of my tent .. they been flowering for almost 4 weeks.. So in about a month she will be a happy camper..

IT SUCKS cus they were looking great and loaded.. But in a way it helps me also .. I had ZERO room in my flower tent .. now I have half of it to use up some of these teens I have.... Plus I have alot of new genetics I wanna see the potential of... and try to eliminate a few.. SOOO I lost some time .. ( and electricity/ soil) .. but I am sure she will be happy ...

I still have 2 purple kush 2 hindu kush and a Laughing buddha in flower.. I turned one light off for the night .. Gonna try to fill up the other side of the tent tonight or tomorrow.. I will see whats big enough already ... But I know I have 2 querkle ready to go .. a couple diesel .. a couple hindu .. some white berry and some skywalker .. plat bubba.. So .. its gonna be a variety and make feeding a BIATCH but .. I will have tons of flavors


The Alien Og I harvested is drying .. Looking pretty dank .. Not super dense ( got lazy on feeding and watering dealing with her being 9 months prego and us always being at the hospital) But very frosty and its pretty potent... I was petty blown for about 2 1/2 hours last night .. I could feel it in my eyes and my whole body .. nice smooth high .. little lazy for me but still GOOOD .. the purple kush is curing still .. its ehhh so so .. I might eliminate that strain .. but I wanna see how the next 2 little ones come out first.. The one I harvested was a little abused aswell because she was right during my daughter being born .. SO .. I gotta give the strain a chance first .. then I will decide .

I just cant wait to see these new flavors.. and I am happy to get some more of the Querkle going .. this pheno is amazing...

Ok enough blabbering .. time to go get some more grow bags.. and then buy madden so I can game it up till the lights come on .. O how I am gonna miss disability LOL

Yea that querkle is fucking dope shit, my bubba is turning purple kindof like it, it has me happy.
You should scratch purple and throw agent orange into the mix!

can't believe you had 75ML PER GALLON? ONE?
wtf?!!!

no 15 ml a gallon 75 per 5 gallon

I would love to know your exact feedings, like which nutes, how much per gl, how you raise and lower by weeks, etc... If ya ever have the free time and don't mind typing it out that is!

I can do that with the general Hydro stuff dubbz.. no prob.. but the house and garden I need to play with longer...

IM SO FUCKING DEPRESSED.. this Purple Kush and Alien OG just really let me down .. I didnt treat em right but shyt.. just not what it should of been.. And I fucked myself waiting a month to start the new cycle being all caught up with my home life.. AHHH ..

Hope I can afford to keep this grow going till end of sept or nov when the next big harvest comes.. I was really counting on these couple plants to do well ..

I need to get this tent loaded up with some of my last genetics that I know will do well.. that way I have a plan b.. Does anybody have a ballast they want to part with .. 600 or 400 watt hps.. I can trade or buy if i have too... Im thinking of flowering with the 3x3 veg tent too that way I can make up for this lost time....

I just hope I can make it for a while cus money is gonna be tight when I go back to work .. I need to take care of some IRS debts and stuff like that .. but if I can make it to my next big harvest I will be good! .. Just gotta get there.. Hope I dont have to sell any of my equipment to get by .... O well im done being depressed .. sorry to shed it here...

Im gonna make dinner and smoke a big bowl of FUCK IT lol .. Ill be back with a better attitude later.. and with some pics I hope of the new girls going in ... Should be pretty interesting since they are gonna be all different shapes sizes and strains ..

BUT I am putting in some Hindu's and querkles as well .. because they are pretty fool proof.. See yall on the flip side

JUST WANNA THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING AROUND.. we got a kick ass little nich of dudes here ..

That would be awesome but take your time homie. There's no rush at all. I still need my harvest to do well or I'm gonna be in some deep shit, so I feel you on that man.

Dude you've been a huge help and inspiration to me and I'm sure many others as well. Anytime you need to shed that shit from your chest go for it, we're here to listen! Just keep doin what you do and keep your head up while doing it. You got this man!!

If my harvest is a bust I'll be selling you my equipment lol

Hope everything ends up well man. Keep us posted.

I smoked some alien OG yesterday and It was some of the best smoke I had in a while.

I think it will.. I just gotta try to keep my mind off of it .... got a ton of repotting done tonight ... once I know they are good in their new pot.. they will be going in the suntan booth

ps how is the DWC?

Good .. almost too good.. I might actually kill it .. I really didnt expect it to do so well... I am considering killing the 2 I have going and starting new cuts....why you ask lol ... well right now I have a diesel and a purple kush in there.. and they are growing at an incredible rate.. these are my two fastest growing strains already ... So what I want to do is fill the dwc with cuts that grow slow.. So I can enjoy the benefits of the hydro growth rate.. Maybe a querkle and a skywalker .. or something of that sort.. IF im gonna run 2 or 4 bubble buckets in flower.. I might as well make it some cuts that I really enjoy and that normally would grow slow for me in soil... I might even do 4 buckets with new cuts .. that way I can do a whole side of the tent in dwc and by the time they are ready the night time temps should be cooler allowing the water to stay cooler.. im right on the edge right now water temp wise


BUT .. they are still alive now .. and here is some pics.. their not real tall because I tied em over.. but they are growing


Purple Kush


Sour D


Leafs are getting huge on the dwc

I knew they would blow up, but too much is too funny....I like your logic though, put some slow rollers to the test...

They do that in Veg, they slow down to the same rate almost in Flower. With hydro you are mostly cutting down on the Veg time. Keep tying em down and flip them @ your height requirement or your norm. They will grow up to be your prettiest girls. :}

I doubt after you do the hydro you will go back to soil very often.
