Whatcha got there chaka?

I recently sourced an heirloom og and "THE" green crack, I can't tell you how pleased I am. Now if I could get my hands on banana og, chem 91, and the santa cruz super silver haze cut I could die a happy man!

If those leds do well I might have to snag a couple, that is the right footprint for my needs. Not to mention the price per output are just right also. Thanks for posting the site link jig!

Awesome!

I love this sort of thing....getting Banana OG would be the tops.

I am in San Diego, and did get a local Girl Scout Cookies and something
called Shark Tooth that I know nothing about.

Fun stuff!

I think we might have talked about this before, but I'm a san diego boy. Grew up in South East SD. Went to SDSU. Surfed about every beach from IB to San Onofre. Glad you get to enjoy the lovely weather and relatively traffic free freeways.

I'm excited for your harvest, can't wait to see how it turns out. Today is still slowly working on the room. Baby's sleeping schedule will say how much work I can do. Cleaning out the tubes is first on the list.

I'm anxious myself man. I can't wait to have some gals in the closet, I can't wait to start watching them grow. Looking forward to rocking some hydro again.

i was a san diego boy till i hit 6yrs,then we left the coast.....(gingerbread day care) good times. and yes kicks,that honeybee is being work on right now.

Jig I bet man. It's always good to give something different a shot. Looking forward to seeing the hydro going again for ya.

G what were you crossing that with outta curiosity? At least I think I remember that. lol. I wanna find my first QQ to use for the BPxQQ. So I may do some searching first before breeding that one. I need to figure out which BP I have will work best yet too. Find out soon as harvest comes.

@kicks honeybee is (plushberry x (purple kush x gsog))

im making f3 this run,and maybe a bx (if i can get a clone back from my buddy of plushberry.)

So are u going to run all 3 led panels in there then?

Gonna Try. We'll see if it works. I think temps will be ok, it just might be too much light. Not sure when I'll get the 3rd in the mail. Thought it would be there today, but my wife got 2 packages.

Getting a little bit done between posts. Little one is in a funny mood today.

I'm listening to the new eminem album for the first time.

That is funny Gen. I lived mostly in Spring Valley. :0)

My bro and I joke about having formed the "Jamul Militia".

I am closer to the coast now....thank goodness as SDG&E is
gouging us pretty hard these days, and I need no AC to grow.

Take care,

JD

LG is where I was born and raised. Small world JD.

Ah..."The Best Climate In The World"....and, you know, while I am sure
that there are 100's of places that feel that they can take that prize, Lemon Grove
really is perfectly situated.

It was weird, that decade, when it became, for a brief time, the meth capital
of the world. Damn Bikers! :0) (LG is ann *old* Hell's Angels area)

Onward and upward,

JD

P.S. Did you ever meet Boyd Rice? He was from that area, and our time frame.

Any updates on the setup bro? Get anything poppin?

I got a few things going on, yeah, thanks for asking. Got my mini DWC up in action to grow some roots on the clones I got. They have a lovely root structure, but they were in soil so i'm having to wash them out and put them in the net pots. And so the roots will be collected in the bottom of the netpot and will need to grow some new ones that will reach down to the water in the tubes when they go in.

Got one of the lights hanging regular over the plants for the time being. The other one I have mounted on brackets ready to attach to the door. I'm going to do the same with the one hanging now. They will swivel a bit so that's cool.

Ran the light all night... temps were around 75 f (24 c). Humidity still super low <10%. Only one plant is in the net pots now... will change the rest today (baby willing). I am gonna put some nutes in the DWC to keep them happy. Things are rolling along.

I'm cleaning out the tubes today as well... they were under the deck collecting nasty water and grunge.

I'm also working on an overflow protection step. It's hard to explain, but I'm putting a tube inside the tubes to channel water past the roots if they block things up too much. Thanks again to colocowboy for the idea. It's working out well.

I'm going to start an actual journal soon... next day or two.

@JD Never even heard of him till now. Interesting guy. I love my town. And haha, meth capital of the world Sprung Valley. :0 It seems I am in the new capital up here in the mountains. lol... meth just keeps following me.

And just to be a stickler, it's "The best climate on Earth"

These clones are said to be Headband, but me, the guy I got the clones from, and the guy he got the clones for aren't so sure it's Headband. We think it might be cheese? Who knows really. It's green and has pretty leaves, haha. And badass roots... and thick stems... WOOOT.


The temporary initial veg setup.


Dad, Baby, Mom hands.


EDIT: Yes, the bottom right plant was droopy... i gave her water, she is all better now.

LOL! Great stuff....and those fat clones too! :0)




P.S. I never heard of "Sprung Valley"! LMAO. There is really no distinguishing
between the two of us, from the perspective of anyone else I suppose.
Lemon Valley.

Umm. I don't want to alarm you...but your plants are glowing bright purple. Hahaha. I had no idea that you could use LEDS for growing. That's insane. Things have come a long way in 20 years. Just wanted to say cool setup. and ill be subd. I was curious what kind of airpump and stones your using. Im going to start a hydro dwc grow soon, and if im not imposing, I would love to know what you are running. thanks.
