Dica420 ñ I donít think its solely an IR signature but a full spectrum
one. Sort of like what the GIS people use. Most
ìthingsî have unique absorption and reflection characteristics. CCDís when
not IR blocked have an ability to see from
320 ñ 1000 manometers, but are more sensitive in the visible range. The
majority of consumer cameras, say
camcorders, have an IR blocking filter that cut off the wavelengths above
750 nm. The reason for this is because the
longer wavelengths really ìcloudyî up an image. So if you are asking if
the bad guys can detect, that really depends on
whether ìitî has a unique spectral signature that makes ìitî distinguishable
from the other living things that surround it.
The technology is definitely there. A few here and a few there would be
harder, I would think, but greed can get ya. I
have heard that the NSA stuff can actually detect women who are having
their periods from those that are not ñ this is
from an orbiting satellite. But then your average county mountie doesnít
have that type of equipment.
Vic, On the preflowering issue, are you saying that once they start there is no way to turn them off?
Also, when using frozen pollen is it better to let it thaw slightly or apply right out of the freezer?
Thanks!

Peaceness - When pushed on his idea that the clone was virused, even Steve
had to back off. It's not virused pure and
simple. To be blunt and crude, it is just a hormonal bitch. The trick with
her is to take your production clones from a
mom in pure veg mode. And then while vegging, keep them in veg mode. If
they are in veg mode when switched to
12/12, they will stretch properly and finish flowering normally. If they
are in heavy preflower when switching to 12/12,
they won't stretch properly (shitty yield) and won't finish flowering properly.
I have found the heavy preflower trait is somewhat hereditary and some
of the offspring can do the same thing.
Trelaway, any feedback on this? I've sent out quite a few GF/blueberry

The Reform Party of Canada, in a vain attempt to woo eastern voters, has
changed it's name to the Canadian Alliance
Party. Other names were suggested, like the Canadian Reform Alliance Party,
or the Conservative Reform Alliance
Party. The acronym CRAP just didn't appeal to the members. Not that it
makes much difference, no matter what they
call themselves it's still the same old CRAP in a new package.
On a local note, a 2 bit municipal politician recently stated: "...all
these grow ops are part of organized crime."
That statement, along with his repetition of all the other typical misinformation
went totally unchallenged.
It is the destruction caused by some of the large commercial grows that
are causing the most problems, and let minor
pissant political types get away with this sort of stuff.
You can't fault an unwitting landlord for being majorly pissed when his
property has been heavily damaged by growers
hacking holes in the walls, improperly ventilating, stealing hydro, etc.,
but to suggest that ALL grows are part of an
organized crime ring is just bullshit.
As far as speaking out against these idiots, it seems to me that those
with the most to gain and the least to lose
should step up. The big operators, who may actually be organized, won't
do it. Small growers might have a lot to lose
in the legal arena. That leaves the average consumer who buys/smokes.

BC growers definately need to start fighting back politically. Boycotting
BC products is one option but I fear it would
have little effect. The commercial dealers will just call it what ever
the public wants them to call it. But they will still
stick with the path of least resistance.
I say fight fire with fire. They are using the media to manipulate public
opinion with their propaganda. So far public
education has also been the cannabis community's best ally as well. We
need to start doing the reporter's work for
them and researching the truth and sending it to them. Eventually some
hero reporter will have the guts to start
reporting the truth. Lies such as 30% THC content are easy to intelligently
challange on several levels. And I'm sure a
few reporters have bought weed, and have a clue about the pricing structure.
Maybe we need to just start putting the
reality of it in their face.

TOPIC - ozone setup
DATE - 08:22:40 3/24/100
FROM - Vic High
Here is an old one I missed:
>>
Hey MP, how goes it. I have about 7 - 8 feet of 10" ducting between my
exhaust manifold and the outside. But that is
only part of the story, air pressure plays as big a role of success as
anything. Too much pressure and the air won't mix
adaquately. Not enough and it will contaminate your garden. Some people
put in big ass exhaust blowers and forget
about the intake, sometimes even relying on a passive intake. I've been
there and this gets really tricky. This can result
in alot of back pressure and it doesn't matter the size of your ozone machine,
both your residence and the outside will
stink up a storm.
For example, I designed my ventilation/ozone system around a 10" dayton
axial fan with the help of a ventilation expert.
It worked flawlessly. But then I needed the silence of the dayton in another
project so I subbed in a more powerful
ellicent fan. What a mistake, the whole place filled with the stench of
skunk. I solved the problem by installing a fan
dimmer switch and reducing the exhaust pressure. Throwing in extra intake
pressure only resulted in the outside
stinking like both ozone and skunk!! A balance is the key.
My ozone box is a 1 by 1 by 4 square tube laying on it's side. At one side
I installed a 18" ozone flo tube. At the other
end I installed 2 ballasts. They have been there for a year and appear
fine. They still work and there is no corrosive
buildup on them like what would happen if they were downstream of the ozone
tube.
Good luck.

The Chronic - The safe number of plants is entirely dependant on how one
gets busted. Like what lead to the bust.
Often, if the bust is the result of a snitch or accidental finding, then
a small garden would just get confiscated. Whether
you look like a good guy or bad guy can also influence the outcome, like
if the cops show because of calls of domestic
abuse. However, if the bust is the result of an investigation, then even
just one plant will result in charges. At least that
is what happened the fall before last. They had a sweep of several busts
all over the lower island over a two day period.
One poor SOB just knew the wrong person and got causght in the net.
Number of plants and overall complexity of garden will play a bigger role
than number of lights, IMO. If there is any
indication that the garden is meant for market, they may throw the book
at you. A 4 light garden could look comercial
or personal depending on the setup. 4 lights growing 16 large plants looks
better on paper than 4 lights growing 400
plants SOG.
But bottom line, you risk a criminal record with even 1 light, there is no safe fine line.
Good luck in your studies, I had 5 fun years in that scene ;)

Dear seeking: right on for the time of seed gestation - 26 days. I had

they usually do - not smaller or darker. The smokable product is not unusually
potent (but not bad either). The flowers
next to the uv turned a darker green (almost black) than those on the other
side of the hood. But quality seems
unaffected. This is breeders' stock and is very consistent.
To all fellows:Judge Allan Stewart imosed a sentance eight times that sought

Judges are sensitive to public appeal by letter or E-mail and we should
all give thought to sending him a polite and
genteel missive asking him to reconsider. The reason he cites for his severity
is profit and that is the very reason a
deferred sentence should be imosed. Does the good Judge want to dry up

His degree is impressive and he could be making

Hi Strider, auctually just some one with too many gadgets, I picked up
a soil ph test kit some time back, and forgot all
about it, found it the other day, and straight away put it to use, only
to let the results "rent unnessary space in my
head" so I guess the answer is no prolbem, just brooding, LOL;-)

Same to you :-) Well its not really advice, just an observation. I haven't
been at this long enough to feel comfortable
giving advice. I have noted a diff in ph from same mix in diff pots. I
can only quess as to the cause at this point, But I
am convinced that if enough nutes/micronutes are provided in an availible
form in your media, your plants will do ok
anywhere from say 5.8 to 7.5. You can get into more trouble trying to tweak
the ph than if you just leave it.

HI Budm..... if you used potting soil for your medium and u mixed ala super
soil then your medium is going to hang
around a 7 ph, they treat the mix with lime and so do u when you mix up
the super soil. I think you will find the ph will
hang at around 7 for the whole grow with no ill effects. you can water
with phosporic acid added ect but the effects will
only last a day or so. I went thru that worry. unless u are watering with
extreamly alkaline water its a dead end. correct
me if i'm wrong anyone.I found the buffering lime and the acid peat work
to keep the medium around 7 hth.

Hi All, well afoaf is embarking on a project that hes had planned for a

the project, Vic susgested that it would
make a good topic for a community board, so any thoughts or ideas are much
apprechiated. So far afoaf has 7 Nevils
Haze beans germing, and 6 Afgani (HGF).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This would be an awesome question for public posting
I would follow DJ's lead on this one. The reason is that the afghani should
be quite uniformand chances of picking a
good male would be in your favour. Haze is well known for it's inconsistent
results. The famous killer haze females are
few and far between from what I've heard. It only makes sense that the
same would follow for the haze males. It is
easier to find the best haze female than haze male so you hedge your bets
of a good cross by going with a haze
female/afghani male.
But find a good potent haze male and who knows
----- Original Message -----
Hi Vic, I hope your well;-)

NevilsHaze X Afgani, I just recieved along with
the Beauty and the Beast, HGF's Afgani, reputeably the best Afgani on the

I read the DJ Short article about breeding Blueberry, and he said the Thai
x Afgani, was "much more intresting" and
free of hermi's, then the female Afgani x Thai. Im sure that the cross
will have hybrid vigor, more diverse genes are
unimaginable, but which to use of the females and males as far as strain
is concerned??? Id apprechiate any input you
might have. Im going to start the B&B as well this week. Ill let you

FROM - C.G.
Vic,
The postings on KQ indicate that this crossing produced much smaller seeds
than had been anticipated. Evidently the
only change in your grow routine was adding high levels of supplementary
UV.
So ... what was the source of the UV? Was it both UV-A & UV-B or just
B? How high a level was there, and how would
those levels compare to those found outdoors in equitorial climates or
high mountain terrain?
Since there's no telling where the G-13 clone originated, whether it was
a native species or the result of a deliberate
cross or random hybridization, there's no way to judge the size of the
seeds it will produce except by checking the
results of other crosses with it.
Have there been small seeds in other crosses under the UV, or is this the
first? Were the KQ seeds all of a uniform
small size or were there some "oddball" larger ones? Were the SQ seeds
grown under the same UV?

DATE - 14:02:51 3/08/100
FROM - Lurker
Hi Vic et al
For those in B.C., is it my imagination or do enforcement efforts targetted
towards growers seem to be intensifying? Or
is it merely a police inspired media propaganda blitz? The number of busts
appears to have gone up in the last 3
months n'est pas?
My own take is yes just on the number of FOAF's who know someone who has
been taken down or have suffered a
similar fate themselves. The B.C.-Alberta border is one dangerous place
for transporting anything heavy as the
mounties are sitting outside Banff and Jasper with "vehicle safety check"
roadblocks on a regular basis. One FOAF
made it through carrying weight (no dogs thank heavens) while another made
the mistake of pulling off on a side road
after they saw the "police roadcheck ahead" sign conveniently placed near
an exit. Cops waiting just around the bend
whose first question on pulling them over was how much are you carrying
and where is it? Dark days.
For what it is worth according to an R.C.M.P corporal I mountain bike with
there has been some new money put into
enforcement as the authorities have come to realize how much of a "problem"
the scene is and to reply to american
pressure. B.C. Hydro is also, according to him, putting more staff on power
theft. Police are still more than a little
peeved at the light penalties in this province for growers but it is out
of their hands.
Any other takes on current affairs in the province?

1. Enjoy yourself ... getting outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, taking
a hike, getting some exercise, these should
be appreciated. Even if you do get ripped off, you're still getting a spiritual
benefit.
2. The more you plant in any one spot, the higher the chances of getting ripped off.
3. Be realistic about the amount of energy you can afford to invest.
4. Growing from seed lowers the risks. You can't hide a dozen clones in your underpants.

Hi all been down with a flu bug feeling better enough to be bored now.
Budm before I used Ro water I used to mix my
compost to about ph 6 to 6.2 our tap water varies from 7.6 to 8.5. There
was never a problem with the compost
becoming to alkaline the highest it ever reached after our 14 week cycle
was 6.5. The problem we were getting was salt
build up on the edges of the rootball sometimes to the point that it was
getting toxic to the plants. I donít think you can
resolve the problem by using ph down, I think that if the bicarbonates
and other caustic elements are causing your
plants problems it is much better to bite the bullet and get a small Ro
for watering them. This will also remove most
heavy metals, nitrates, nitrites and a host of other nasties. You should
be able to get a complete analysis from your
water supplier! You might find you want an Ro for drinking water or take

Hi All,
Theres a good spidermite info page I found here,
http://www.weedmart.com/guild/gdi/mitesart.html
Nice pictures and they explained how Diatomeious Earth works as a mite
killer, its ground up particles have very sharp
edges, that pierce the mites body and it dies of dehydration.
Rx2- Yes the freezer does increse the life/viability of pollen, I read
a post by a community member, who had a great
sounding method of storing in the freezer, it went somthing like this.
First dilute the pollen with flour, or in the case of
this poster, he was using pollen collected from a tree outside as the dilutent,
then fill up some cut-up "drinking straws"
with the pollen to be stored, closing
the ends with tape(I think), that way when you need some you can take out
of the freezer 1 "portion controlled" straw,
with out having to remove all of the pollen from the freezer, this could
come in handy if one was working on a "cubbing
project" with pollen as the method of backcrossing instead of a female
clone/mom. Then keep all of your filled straws in
a glass jar with a tight fitting lid, along with silica, rice, or any descant
available. Im not sure of the life expectancy of
pollen, using this method, however I would assume it to be a year or so,
as a cubbing project would take at least that
amount of time or more. Afoaf has kept pollen in a film can with desacant
packs in the fridge, for about 10 weeks with
some drop off in viablity in the later weeks, but still viable enough.
Also hes experienced, that there was a higher
percentage of females from the stored pollen then from the fresh, the fresh
made seeds that were 50/50 M-to-F ratio,
when the same pollen was used about one month later it went up to 70% female.
Anyone else experienced this
happining??
Rx2 I hope this helps some, if you look through the BCGA mesg-board archives,
you should find the post about pollen
in the freezer, and can get the exact method.
Does anyone growing in soil, take the time to Ph-adjust there water, that
they feed with?? Tap water being very high
(8-8.5), would'nt it be better to lower it before watering??

didn't grow tall but they were bushy and
the stuff kicked ass. The last batch was the most potent!

Vic ...
Thanks for the feedback on those new crosses ... the question of mold and
mildew is Rarely discussed in public by
breeders ... we appreciate your bringing it up. ( Wouldn't a small de-humidifier
prevent mold and mildew in the first
place? )
Wasn't aware that Romulan had such a strong aroma ... that's good to know...
we try to keep everything low to the
ground and sweet ... you can get lucky sometimes and have folks walk right
past a plant if it doesn't smell like a skunk
in heat.
We certainly regret asking that question about Sodica ... but hey ... you're
up in the Great White North, probably in
spitting distance of those islands ... it's not much of a stretch to think
that from the description and posted photo you
might have a good idea what kind of herb it is/was. No doubt all breeders
have loads of info that they don't share
outside of the business, we can dig that. It's also *quite* possible that
Steve and those breeders don't really know
themselves what's in the stuff. It's the dirty little secret of outdoor
grows that breeding there is a royal pain, and often
haphazard.
There's no way we'd stir up a lot of crap on purpose ... especially after
that flurry of flames between you guys lit up the
web like Las Vegas.
Whew! It was *painfull* to wade through all of it! Maybe you both should
adopt formal second identities just so you can
heap abuse on each other and leave the rest of us out of it. ; )
Besides, it confuses the kiddies and frightens the horses.
Where's my shovel?

Hello All,
Vic, I can say from what Ive experienced in life, the RomB, may share a
trait (stealth) with the Fl-"Krypt", but thats IMO
the only thing they have in common, at least from a smokers standpoint.
You spoke of resistance to molds and mildew, how come some plants seem
resistant to mites? some Dutch strains
are even advertised as having "mite resistance", do these strains taste
bad to the little buggers ??
One more question, has anyone ever noticed a clone change morphology/apperance,
dramatically from its original
seed-mom?? afoaf has seen this happen! Mom had much narrower leaves, and
the clone had leaves that were fatter,
and looked webbed, hes 99% positive that there was no "switch-up in the
nuserey" LOL! But it will take a bit of time to
account for the other 1%. Youall have a nice weekend;-))
rx- all of those questions can be answered in great detail, at least the
pollen storage, seeds, and oil, questions, at
OGrow's "Weedbase" archive search engine, HTH ;-)
Peace

dear friends: can any of you advise me if pollen can be kept viable in

about seeds? Does any one have a reciepe for hash oil? Be well and thanks

I would think that the seeds sent from the auction(which will trickle out
from HS in the weeks after the auction)will not
constitute a "surge" by HS's standards and I am doin my bit to get some
of those beans coming "downunder" ;-)
Who knows? maybe there are a quite few not from the US? ;-)

Johny - just razzin ya dude :)
Lurkin, It wouldn't suprise me if LEO is aware of the auction, but it also
wouldn't suprise me if they were aware of
Heavan's Stairway prior to the auction either. Hell I assume they are aware
of me too ;) But I hear what your saying. I
think the most observable surge would be with Heavan's Stairway's incoming
mail and it won't contain anything illegal.
Leo would have no reason to open these so your only real risk is if you
place your real name and addy on the outside
of the envelope. As for HS's outgoing, they've been doin gthis for a while
and they have given it alot of thought so I just
trust their experience. I personally think my mailing method is better,
hehe, but I don't tell them how to ship and they
don't tell me how to breed. And they definately are more experience than
me in getting the product safely to the
customer.
CG - If you notice, I only rate my strains indoors simply because I only
grow indoors. However, both blueberry and
romberry have been successfully grown outdoors in Nevada, California, and
Vancouver that i know of. Romberry
finished earlier than blueberry despite it's longer flowering period. I
attribute this to the fact that blueberry has
undergone a longer period of indoor selection than the romulan parentage.
Actually, romulan seems to have more of an
american west coast outdoor heritage. It is very similar to an outdoor
oregon strain my friend calls Emerald Triangle.
They definately share the same pedigree, and another Florida friend who
has sampled and grown the Emerald Triangle
genetics feels it is very similar to the infamous Florida krypt. With respect
to stealth, anything with romulan in it will be
a security risk, the stuff stinks!! Also, FWIW, romulan is very bud mold
resistant but is succeptable to powdery mildew.
The C99 and G13 parents also contracted powdery mildew. Blueberry parents
are powdery mildew resistant as are the
majority of their offspring. Chemo mom is fairly resistant to powdery mildew
but will eventually get it if the infestation is
heavy.
As for your spefic timing, I couldn't even hazard a guess, I don't have
a clue where you are, haha. But yes, someone
will have to grow them outside and share with us how they did. Space queen
will stretch the most. Romberry and killer
queen will be moderate strtchers, and Beauty and the Beast will be the
least.
Beauty and the Beast was designated for Seed-Bank to carry since they were
behinf me securing the chemo genetics.
However, due to Bong's current situation, they will be going to Heavan's
Stairway. They will be limited supply (40
orders) and should have arrived at HS yesterday or today.
As for comparing to Cream Sodica, LMAO. Come on!! Your asking me to compare
to a strain that Steve won't share
the parentage of and it hasn't been tested yet?? And the queens haven't
been tested either?? No offence but that
sounded like a shit stirring question.
TOPIC - Would the new bcga strains work outdoors?
DATE - 17:50:04 3/03/100
FROM - C.G.
Vic, those new crosses sound very, very, interesting. Since another planting
season will soon be upon us, our juices
are begining to flow and we're getting psyched up for another guerilla
growing campaign.
However, on the HS site, Space Queen and Killer Queen are both listed as
indoor strains. ( Beauty & The Beast isn't
listed at all ... are those all gone? ).
Which, if any, of these three would grow well in the great outdoors? Would
they all be short and thick, or would they
tend to stretch a lot during a normal US growing season?
The description of Space Queen indicates that it would require a little
less light than other strains. Does this mean it
would survive and produce in a semi-shaded spot? Would these crosses tend
to finish early ( Sept. 1 ) or late ( Oct 15
), or is it too early to tell how they'll react?
Here's a question we'll probably regret asking: How would you expect those
new crosses will measure up in yield,
taste, and potency, against the Cream Sodica variety being offered by your
long-time bosom-buddy, blood- brother, and
potential kidney donor, Breeder Steve?
Just curious.

Vic et al: I've been following a thread at CW's members forum about stealth
in mailing seeds. Most likely LEO is aware
of the auction, and that after it's over there will be a surge in mail
from HS to the US. Seems like maybe folks could
help with stealth by mailing their funds in a returnable package of their
own design. Might help HS's shipping as well.

YO CLONER I DID SOME THE OTHER DAY I PUT THEM IN A HOT HOUSE I MADE FROM
AN OLD TABLE FRAME
COVERED WITH SEE THROUGH PLASTIC NO AIR HOLES PUT THEM UNDER A NICE TREES
SO THEY GOT NO
DIRECT SUN LIGHT AT ALL I SAT THEM ON OLD LEAVES SO SMALL AMMOUNTS OF AIR
COULD GET UNDER
THE PLASTIC
WATERED THEM EVERDAY WITH RAINWATER AND SPAYED THE UNDER LEAF WITH WATER
---ARVOS ONLY
I ALSO PUT A CONTAINER OF WATER IN THE HOTHOUSE TO EVAPORATE FOR NICE MOIST
VIBE
IT TOOK ABOUT 2 1\2 WEEKS TILL-- BING SMILEY LEAVES
THE BIG ONES LOOKED SO SO BAD BUT THEY MADE IT
THEN I THOUGHT NICE THINGS TO THEM TILL THEY WORKED
I USED POTS ABOUT 10-15CM ACROSS THEN A GOT THIS NICE CERTIFIED ORGANIC
SOIL MIX FROM THE
NERSURY MIXED IT WITH SOME OF MY LUSH COMPOST 50\50 SIFT IT THROUGH A SMALL
HOLED KITCHEN
SPAGGETTI STRAINER SO IT WAS SO LIGHT THEN DID THE CUTTINGS ( CAUSE I WAS
THINNING OUT THE
BUSH )I GOT THIS ORGANIC\CERT SEAWEED FISH FERTILIZER DID THE BOTTLE LABEL
MIX IN A BUCKET
WITH SOME FRESH RAINWATER -----ALL THE TOOLS AND POTS I WASHED IN HOT WATER
AND 90%
ALCOHOL TO KILL EVERYTHING----THEN DID THE CUTS FROM THE PLANT ON A BRANCH
I CUT JUST AFTER A
NICE SPROUTING JOIN OF SOME LEAF STEMS ( SO THE BRANCH WILL NOT HAVE A
HARD TIME GROWING A
NEW THING ) THEN A PUT IT IN THE SEAWEED STUFF AND CUT IT UNDERWATER ON
AN ANGLE JUST
BEFORE THE LEAF STEM ZONE - SO IT WILL ROOT FROM THERE - I CUT ALL THE
OTHER GROWING BITS OFF
FROM ROUND THE AREA ABOUT 3-4CM
I LET IT SIT IN THE STUFF A WHILE TO DRINK
SOME I PUT IN ROOTEX -ROOTING LIQUID FROM THE NERSURY SOME I DIDNT I DIPPED
FOR THE TIME ON
THE PACK THEN PUSHED THEM INTO THE POTS IF SOIL ABOUT 2-3CM DOWN AND STACKED
THEM
I JUST SCOPED THE SOIL UP INTO THE POT AND SCRAPED THE EXCESS OFF I DIDNT
PUSH IT DOWN I JUST
KEPTED IT LIGHT AND EASY FOR THE NEW ROOTS CAUSE WHEN YOU WATER THE WATER
WILL
COMPACKED IT TO THE RIGHT DENSIDY
EVEN AMOUNTS OF ROOTEX - NON ROOTEX WORKED
ALL THE CUTTINGS ABOUT 10-15CM MADE IT MOST OF THE ONES 20-25CM WORKED
THOUGH THEY LOOKED
BAD
I PUT THEM IN A HOT HOUSE I MADE FROM AN OLD TABLE FRAME COVERED WITH SEE
