best branch yet!

[sick_greg]

This is part of a 2x3x5, 1 plant cupboard, 600 hps 'scrog'. this is the most bud i ever got from one branch above the screen. it's one of about 10 main branches... i reckon i'll yeild a pound all up, or more hopefully! this branch was vegging real big and potentially gunna be a lot taller than the rest so i cut the fuckin top off (4 nodes i guess) and let the sides take over. see at the top of 2nd photo, thats the branch i cut the 8 colas from... i wish i had the space for the other 9 stems to produce the same! thats at least 4 oz there.

... bubblegum dwc 1 plant 50 litre tub 600hps. tip;;; prune the fuck out of 'em in veg, only allow big branches to grow. , and your clones come from your pruning ready in time for next time!

good job!! i reckon your not a newbie to this at all! the size of one of those branches is bigger than my whole plant of my last harvest. + rep for sure.

HIGH All, mmmmmm I'd smoke it.....looks good and Welcome to The City sick_greg.

[fatbob166]

Wow....Looks like a Menorah of buds, very nice.......

[sick_greg]

Thanks fella's,

I got a pound woohoo! its sumer hear in australia and i went away for 3 days while it was hot as fuck and the offspring / "cloned" branch of this fucker fuckin died!!! must have drank about 20 litres. Im spewing coz this cutting had been vegging for around 8 weeks and was prunded perfect ready for flower. I'm fuckin cut about that but fortunetley 1 cutting remains alive and now has a reasonable root system... almost time to cop 18 hours under the 600. I estimate this is gunna need about a month more veg... which sux coz my lost one would be stretching right fuckin now!

Anyway, pics are in the next post

[ISTANDALONE]

cheer up mate, at least one of them has made it. how's that shit smoke anyway? looks like the bomb.

[sick_greg]

Mate it smokes up like a dream... actually in all honesty it's not properly cured and tastes like shit!

And yeah i'm trying to be cheerful, it's just that losing a potential prime producer painfully post-pones people's personal profit... i don't wanna have to buy my smoke!!!

BTW I don't seem to have any surviving photos of this whole plant so heres some from a while ago... same rough setup anyway...

^^ Alliteration anyone?? LOL. Awesome grow, dude. I can only hope to get something like that someday. Could you possibly take a picture of your setup with the scrog net and dwc? I can't figure out what you would do with the plant when you need to change the rez. I figure you must have some kind of water pump to pump the water out, and mabe another one to pump some new water in.

Alliteration: The repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the beginning of words...

Yeah I love that kinda shit... "Mr manager manages my money, making mr manager make more money, funny in the dunny with a summy of money, alliteration and rhyming for the fried is funny". Yeah I know, i'm an idiot lol.

Trikky... can't you see the attached pics in my last post???

I used macromedia fireworks (image editing software) to show a kind of X-ray view of the setup. Pretty self explanatory really. There's not really any fish in there btw, and there's meant to be airstones too. Oh and theres now a hose there to fill the thing up connected permanently to a very convenient tap...

[sick_greg]

heres a link to the picture i'm talking about http://forum.grasscity.com/attachmen...chmentid=57385
can you all see the pic???

Basically
I empty it with the tap labeled "drain"
I fill it up with a hose
I add nutrients and do testing etc at the ice cream container thing shown in the picture. As shown, there's a submersible pump in the tub to get circulation going and mix everything up.
There's a clear tube on the outside of the tub so i can see the water level. Got that idea from a kettle.

This way i don't even have to lift the lid on the tub for a whole grow, though i sometimes lift the corner for a peak at the roots.

I don't know this site so well yet... just testing img tags...



edit: sweet works like a charm

[trikky]

Wow dude. +rep for that setup. That plant looks more like a tree. My only concern would b nutrient buildup on the walls of the rez, because you can't scrub it. Or algae, what would you do if something like that happened? Or is there not much you can do?

[sick_greg]

nutrient buildup on the walls of the rez, because you can't scrub it

funny that you mention that... i'm currently cleaning the system and setting up for next crop. One of the tasks i just completed was scrubbing that exact tub of all the salt buildup from the last 2 grows. The last time i did that was 2 pounds & about 20 weeks ago. Call me lazy but i havn't checked pH or tds or regularly cleaned this system for about a year or something... and harvests are pretty dam good for 2x3 i reckon.

It's like my cloning... I don't sterilize anything or fuck around i just grab whatever and snip off a branch, rip a layer or 2 of skin off the bottom and stick it in bubbling water for a couple of weeks or a month. Live and learn, and sometimes ya realize you don't have to try as hard as you might think.

Or algae, what would you do if something like that happened? Or is there not much you can do?

If the water and roots are ever looking shit i just dump the tank and flush with water a couple of times, hasn't been a problem. Maybe it's the fact that it doesn't get hot at all down at tub level or maybe i was just lucky enough to get an invincible clone a few years back lol

[trikky]

Sick grow, man. I just cant get over it. When my mother plant is ready to be cloned, I'm definately gonna try a scrog grow in a mini fridge. I really would like to see the difference. Anyways, thanks for all the answers, and again awesome grow and awesome setup.

Thanks mate, wicked
