You got a nice setup bro.

the girls are looking good to.

thanks greg most of my stuff was my design some things i got ideas for looking at forums like this one and adjusting things to my liking, my thought is if its work in the garden i wont enjoy it so i make things as simple as possible with little chance to break down or go wrong, dont get me wrong i have had my fair share of screw ups. i just like to think things thru as far as possible to prevent as much wasted time and materials as possible that way i spend more time just enjoying the hobby rather than getting frustrated

well here is a few more pics not much new to see but they are budding nicely cant wait to see how this run turns out the rhino is a pretty plant and the moby dick is a very hearty plant its just grows like a son of a bitch i suggest this one for scrogging to anyone close nodes and like 90% sativa so may take a couple weeks longer to finish than the widow and the rhino but ill be patient well heres some pics and the new bong i purchaced today after work the rhino is in the 4th and last pic and any one have any idea how long i should keep tucking branches under the screen i have full coverage but dont want the plants to stretch so much that i lose out on my yield any advice would be great here im 4 weeks in this coming week end

I can see you being very happy in the near future lol.

Ditto that greg his scrog already show signs of a big turn out:smoking: droolie!

thanks spike and greg im hoping all this hard work pays off the tucking of the branches can be a pain in the ass some times but its really starting to look like something all the work is starting to have some potential for a descent yield im going to be topping off the res and adjusting the ppm and ph if neccassary and ill post some pics this evening of the flower room
i think ill let the crop just grow upwards now that i have full coverage of my screen only 4 weeks left for the 8 week mark but ill be picking up a micro scope by then to get a closer look at those trichs , might borrow a camera tonight for some finer pictures well till then keep a token

well just finished up the rez top off and upped the nutes to 1800ppm added 3 ml per gallon of the bloombastic also will be changing rez water this week end and flushing then giving these girls a full 2000ppm and a rate of 4 ml per gallon water of the bloombastic for weeks 5 and 6 then it will be just a dose of ph water for the last 2 weeks any thoughts on this would really be helpful http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt112/propchop420/4-10-2010%20%20closet%20project/CIMG0843.jpghttp://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt112/propchop420/4-10-2010%20%20closet%20project/CIMG0850.jpg

well not sure if i even want to post some pics this week i dont really get much traffic, so i flushed and added a new mix of nutes to the res. starting 5th week of flowering this week ill post some pics in a week or two maybe some one will be interested

Yo. Girls still looking good.. I'm waiting for the new pics fella.

and as you requested i have some new pics up, Greg thanks for tuning in on this one i hope more people are to follow well i understand the pics are not that great of quality i will try to find a better one to shoot with thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my girl's

well this is day 36 of flowering from first sign of bud, not that any one is watching or even cares on this forum :confused::(:mad::devious:

Damn bro, I dunno where the hell everybody is, but you rockin it!

Buds look fantastic. Setup looks fantastic. I give ya an A+ (and some rep)

No worries bra, ppl will find their way to your journal, but it helps to mingle. Grasscity is a really friendly place, but ya gotta go out and meet ppl. Check out their journals, drop'em a line, and such.

Neways, have a good one bro! You're gonna have a primo harvest in a couple weeks.

yeah dude that looks like an amazing setup for the lighting you got. CFLs can be pretty useful to help add some wattage to any system.

and that scrog looks sexy the buds looks so fine as a canopy on scrogs

these are a few new pics from this past week end time is close the trics are cloudy i will be harvesting very soon , and i guess the site is not going to work tonight so ill post another day thanks for checking it out...... well the sites not letting me post still really fucking lame, guess ill be posting on another site if this shit keeps up.

yeah i guess ... the site is allowing me to upload pics

Are you flowering under a 250w HPS?

That shit looks amazing for CFLs! Are you sure your not using HIDs? I wish I grew donkey dicks like that using CFLs. I applaud you:hello:.

yo dood, that screen looks pretty sweet. sugary and frosty. Similar to what I hope for but I'll be on a smaller scale with a 150w. maybe after a little profit i can step up, the hydro seems to be the way to go. soil may be closer to carefree but I'm thinking the difference in time and similarities in yields would be worth the effort. not to intrude on your thread but I believe he is using a 250w hps, I'm pretty sure I saw an orange glow.

yeah i guess ... the site is allowing me to upload pics

That's Moby Dick. You did a really good job man. never scrogged with hydro. I got a three foot moby dick bush under a 600 in a 7 gal . Tryin to figure out if it stretches a lot. only been in flowering a couple of days so i dont know yet. keep us updated with a yield and a smoke report.
