messin with the ebb and flow today - doin some rig shit lol

got a glass on glass piece with ice catcher and diffueser for 50 bones!!!

not the BEST piece (no roor) but whatever. nice hits.

ummmmmm Im changin up some shit and getting a heating pad tonight (hopefully)

gettin ready to put moms under the flouros and take some cuttings and sex some shit here pretty soon.

Let me know somethin fellas

[gonejah17]

made my ebb and flow setup for my clones today. went around looking for the right tray forever but finally found somehting that will fit my needs. Hopefully.

So I got nozzles and tubes and that shit from the hydro store, pump too.

Got the tray at a restaurant supply store, the res at big lots and then I just had to drill some holes. Hopefully this will work lol

Heres the top

Nice and small, maybe too small??? think I can fit 6 - 8 clones in here to grow big enough to transfer to a second larger ebb and flow system to flower. Thats the idea at least. Any thoughts think this might not be big enough??? oh well it will hold 4 - 6 for sure!!

Then it goes thru


The bin rests on the surface with the nozzles fitting thru the holes, just lifted it up for the pic.


And down

Here is the bottom side under the bin with the uptake and the outtake nozzles sorry for the pic quality its cell phone.


And into the res (and back out up thru the pump)



What do y'all think???? Im planning on using rockwool for the clones in some hydroton rocks maybe??? Tips please this is MY FIRST attempt at hydro so well see how it goes. looks like it should work Ive tried the system and it works though it leaves a LITTLE water in the bottom of the bin. figure this will get soaked up by the plants and the medium tho.

And thats it for now, heres a height pic I took of Perky yesterday



Shes getting too tall I think I want to top her but Ive been told not too yet. I want her as a mother but not too big!!!!


And heres some BOMB ass LA confidential. shits DANK



and that might be it. I was reading Ed Rosenthal's book and he HIGHLY reccomends CO2 so I think a system is on the way. Ill need help with that.

K guys let me know somethin

Hey man, I just wanted to say that I love your journal. Your setup and grow is scarily damn near close to mine (...we started using the SAME PLASTIC CUPS), and I love seeing the budshots on every page. This is one of those journals that I can click on and read through and actually thoroughly enjoy it (Yeah, I read journals for fun sometimes. =/ ).

Good luck buddy, may you get at least a couple ounces of some skunky sticky buds. ( :

thanks man, Im sure it will. I posted on your thread but Im tipsy as always so couldnt read all of it. I will tomorrow tho. thanks for the post man I look froward to watching ur srpouts do their thing. my NUMBER 1 suggestion is to check the runoff ph.

peace man

[gonejah17]

Perky is getting too tall, I dont know what to do. To top or not to top, that is the question. Maybe Ill move her to flouro today???

things that make u go hmmmmm

[mordgrow]

if its growin too fast top that bitch! make it grow sideways.

LST is great for controlling size too tie em down!

looks good man!

[gonejah17]

yeah I know I want to top but DRGREENBUDS is telling me not to yet, I might have to tho well see


thanks man Ill hit ur page up in a sec

[mordgrow]

wooahh, well i would go with what Drgreenbuds says, lol im trying to coax info outta him also thinking about an SOG style grow.. if i can figure out my clone curse.

any more pictures man?

[gonejah17]

slow ass photobucket


Well the DOC said topping wouldnt hurt what we are trying to do "bon sai moms"

And mord gave me the green light too, so ta dah!!!!!



I topped her, I HAD to do it.

She like, started to bleed and shit lol is this normal?????



TBH, the whole thing was pretty unnerving lol YIKES my baby!!!!!





And one more pic of her topped. Well see what happens now I guess. I gott show the doc and start to cut the little leaves off her too (Doctors Order's lol)


Another Development, Went and fucked with some CO2 (this hobby is getting expensive!!!)

Check it out, my own solenoid, made in taiwan lol (should I have gone with hydrofarm??) and Im not even sure how to read the gauges yet (kg/cm2??) but Ill figure it out.


From what Ive read, Co2 DRASTICALLY increases growth rate and since Im legal and trying to do this within the guidelines of the law (A. 6 veg AND 6 flower or B. 12 veg OR 6 flower) I have to have as fast a growth rate as possible for my clones. So hopefully with the Co2 and the ebb and flow, once I find some fast flowering strains I can make it with 6 veg and 6 flowering in cycles. FINGERS CROSSED (I know I need more plants to do a continual harvest right)

so dont laugh, lol or laugh if u want who cares lol, but Im trying to think of a way to position the tubing and I havent been able to find any frame for it yet so this is what I did lmao



The tape is cuz initially I put holes along the whole thing and then wanted to cover them up. Im just brainstorming trying to think of a way to set it up but for now the toiet works lol.

I have it set up to release at a SLOW rate (cant read the gauges yet) for 15 minutes 3 times a day and at the same time I have all the fans set to turn off for 15 minutes at those same times. So it saturates the area (hopefully) but the temps get up around the 90s for those 15 minutes is this ok???


So, here's LEGS


Shes doin nice yeah??


DIVA is starting to really take to her LST




Margie got tranplanted, which was a little rough cuz she was in a clay pot so I couldnt squeeze the bottom to coax out the root ball. I had to use a spoon lol. She was EXTREMELY rootbound amd I transplanted her into a large square planter

Shes looking good and really starting to shoot out all over the place


Swazi keeps bushing out





And heres Swazi and Margie side by side



Heres Shorty

She's growing along nicely, think she likes the MG

And stunner


Her new growth is nice, shes much sturdier since the LST

Oh question, check this out, is this bugs???????



The holes are pissin me off, it might be from the light??? or is it definitely bugs??



Gettin my photoshop on, dont get used to it lol

K no bud pics today I found a seed in some hindu master kush but the bud is smoked up now lol

Ill update with some bud shots tomorrow goin to the store tonight

let me know y'all

[urgr8estfear]

That what you call 'bleeding' is definately NOT normal.
Not a clue here to what it is though....but it seems alot more serious then the holes in the leaves (which are not caused by the light).
All I can say is good luck!
