the only auto ive heard of so far is the lowrider! ??? Hmmm! Does the caligirl clone??? Wonder if she has same issue! ???

No issues on my end.. well aside the fact that the person carring for them while I was on a Business trip must have forgotten to water EVERY single plant:cuss:.

:bigjoint: Mine too... Looking good VV I have some more JF on the way.

I like the first pic... Just making sure the plant diagnostic system is still working.

Good luck with the Juicy Fruit, it is by far my favourite to smoke. I know you'll dig it.

Yes, I was sorry to hear about yours cali. I retired the Juicy Fruit Mother, took 13 clones from her and said goodbye. Last week and this week I have been staying at my moms a few days, she had a tia the Friday before, high blood pressure and pulse readings so we (my brothers and sisters) decided we want to monitor those things for a while until we can find out what is going on. She lives about three hours north of me near Fife Lake in Kalskaska county. She seems to feel ok now , bp and pulse are still elevated. VV

I would recommend a cool tube enclosed air cooling system, necessary with hid lights imo, this is another one of the things I had to learn. I installed a 1000watt hid with the cool tube and a 200cfm inline axial fan $28.00 at bigbox stores. I have probably 20' of ducting with several bends it the line. Temperature actually dropped when I used it to replaced 2 t-5 lights. Al B Fuct ran tests on his in his workshop before installing them, he was right, you don't need a monster fan, push the cold air thru the light and out. I posted the build of the batwing reflector, may want to look at that:blsmoke: in diy section. Having the light in a closed system takes it out of the equation for humidity etc. You need ti put a link to your journal in your signature Control Panel left side of my rollitup. VV:eyesmoke:

Hey VV I just got my BB in and was going to run them along with the JF and thought you said that the BB was hardier and needed less nutes then the rest of what you were running , just wanted to double check that with you asI also have my WW always going, and had no problems with the ww and JF being on the same feeding schedule, but now that I switched to DWC I was pondering the thought of running the BB seperate but wanted to check with you about your experience with them before I made arrangments for all that.

Hope everything's going well:mrgreen: with your mom, and your garden.

Some newb was flameing me cause he didn't believe a 4 bulb t5 had 40k lumens. Even after I linked him to a product page. I sent the guy asking the original question your way, he has a 4x4x4 cabinet. Told him you know what a t5 can do. :clap:

Good luck anyway, I should be flowering in 2-3 weeks or so.

How's everything going?

You are correct, I found they needed lower early nutes. I have been told they grow out of that when they are ready for flowering. After a conversation I had with Earl, I have lowered my ppm anyway and the blues may do ok. I still have two clones from them and will continue to mess with them. The Juicy Fruits I saved for mothers are all doing well and these are third generation known females, still moved a few of them into flowering. I suppose I could post some pictures, I just don't want to bore anyone.

Thanx. Closet growers should investigate the t-5's if stealth is an issue, it takes an 8 bulb t-5 to produce 40,000lumens from what I have seen.
My mom is doing well, she had a tia, like a mini stroke, no further incidents, she has been checked from head to toe, has some allergy, and is in good health otherwise. She is 85, doesn't drive much at night, lives fairly independant. I have committed to taking her to any doctors appointments she has, and feel fortunate to do this for her. We are working on Geraniums in her garage, its heated, she has a few plant stands, I will have to expand them. I should be harvesting my first 8 week close to proper crop in the next week or so, clones are taking and ready to flower in two weeks, the entire operation is improving as I begin to take time with the plants. I found I was overwatering for the medium, and am getting better looking results with less, 1 1/2 to 2" of water, twice a day and done.
My support group is improving in plant knowledge as well, 2 of them have purchased homes and want to get their feet wet, and I encourage that. Especially with the Medical Marijuana Ballot Proposal we will be voting on, polls show 58% approval.

Earlpost a pix of them please.
Well ok, here are some pics of what is going on now. The first 2 tables are 5 weeks and 7 weeks in flowering, the third is the widow/cindys in flowering. most of them went into flowering on 9/19 so a little over four weeks now, seem to have slowed growth in height and are starting to fill out, here is a closer shot of bud development, 2 weeks flowering, clones not quite 1 week, mothers and a few more clones. I have extra clones right now, haven't sexed 6 of the WC's yet, some will be male I am sure. VV:bigjoint:

I don't know which deadly sin these pics evoke most in me:

Greed, cause I want that ganj.
Envy, cause I want to grow shit like that.
Lust, cause I might have sex with the plants.
Wrath, mostly because of the aforementioned sins.
Gluttony, but I always have the munchies.
Pride, well, not so much that one.

Having said that I would have to go with Sloth, since I am probably just going to have a nap.

PS: I hope your moms is ok, strokes are scary shit.

Thanx Plasma, at this point you may be justified. Now that I have most of the kinks worked out of the system, I have been able to indentivy some problems in the way I was doing things. I was filling the flood tables to high for the medium I am using, and I was planting the clones out of the aerocloners too deep. I had changed to larger gph pumps and did not adjust the timer for the faster flow. We also changed to using 3" rockwool cubes for clones, cost is higher, I have used them a few times before, always had the biggest stems. I was concerned at first that it would take longer to get roots 'out the bottom' of the blocks, so far 10 days, well within the two week rotation. Now we will have to see what the yield is. VV

:mrgreen:Looking good Vic, a couple more weeks til I start blooming.
Yes, I saw the time frame in your journal, saw you meet Earl etc.

I have to take a minute to say good bye to Al B Fuct, any one that has followed my posts knows I have followed all of his threads for the two years I have been a member. I missed the chance to say goodbye. He did leave a blueprint for ..........many things, the way he treated us all with our repeated questions. I will miss seeing that avatar and will always be proud to be a FuctHead. kiss-assVV

No way, Al's gone! :(

That blows... I needed him to answer a question. Maybe you can help vic...

I'm looking for a new electrode for my pH pen. It's a eutech pH pro series 2. He has the same one, so I figured he'd know. My local hydro store want's 65 bucks for an opened box one, meaning it's used... Bullshit, they should be 40 bucks at most. Know of a good online retailer?

Yeah, I remember you mentioning Earl, and I saw his Hempy thread...

I just checked the Al B Faqt thread, I was the last person to ask my only question... Man, that sucks.

Good for him, I guess RIU was his springboard to bigger and better things.:mrgreen:

Not really, he was always here to help, the first thing he posted was Get A Harvest Every Two Weeks, he was pulling 2#'s a month at that time and kept making improvments in his op. When he first posted I read it, knew I wasn't ready for it, I did follow it in designing my room. He and I had several conversations about my use of the 'other lights'. I wish him only the best.
Earl is the one that would know about replacement probes, I have the BlueLab Combo meter, haven't had to replace any, just weekly cleaning and calibrating. It will accept other manufactures replacment probe. VV
