My maximum possible plant height is 3-3.5ft not including pot. This is
without bending or training to a cage or stakes. The plant I've been growing
for years gets taller and I bend the tops down. I have an idea for spiral
training to a reverse cone shape wire cage over each plant. Should make
upside down bud cones. We'll see ........

I do understand about genectics. I just misunderstood about the
Washington and Romulan/Strawberry Blonde. I thought they were "strains",
not surprises. I talked to my friend today and got that info straight.
Well, I
love surprises as long as they are good surprises!!! I have never really
been concentrating on breeding seeds. All these years I have tried to get
seeds from any really great smoke I could and then have selected the most
perfect offspring and cloned it forever.
I read about the Blueberry yeild info and it sounds really good. I'm intrigued
by the 109% increase in yeild obtained by topping when the plants were
22"
high, cutting back to 12" high, vegging 2 more weeks then flowering at
about 20". What is the reason for waiting until its 22" then cutting back
to
12"? Would it work just as well to top when it was just over 12" and
continuing to veg until it got to 20" then flowering? I suppose you used
the
tops for cuttings, eh?
I'm enthused that the internet age has made it possible for people outside
of my country to provide me with good seeds to select my new moms from.
Here in the USA we are not free to discuss what we do with anyone for fear
of possible consequences. It is liberating to finally have an "anonymous"
outlet for the knowledge we have all collected throughout our lives.
I would appreciate any info from those growing Northern Lights as I have
never grown it before and am currently about to start flowering 11 seedlings
that are around 12" tall now. Should I top it first? I was expecting short
and
bushy with quite a bit of side growth, but so far, there is very little
side
growth developed. They were planted on March 7 and seeds were from
Ubino.

I have deleted all the recent non-grow posts to try and keep the subject

purpose.
Ananda - your question tells me that you, and many others, truly don't
understand what the suprises are about. They are not strains! These are
just random crosses with select clones. Unless you grow out 20 plus
seeds of each, there is a good chance you won't find any patterns within
each batch of suprises. I thought the webpage was clear. How can I make
it more clear that growing these is a crap shoot if you are looking for
a
specific phenotype? I left a very detailed explaination of the differences
between an F1 and F2 at cannabis.com's breeding page and then have
been very clear that the suprises will grow out as F2s.

m.g. The PR is not NCGA,its Pan Red that was sent direct from Panama

but if so, i'm in the process of making some eggs of each, as i've had
no
probs whatsoever with the strains. day 20 of flowering and all are doing
well. only hint of a prob is with the bbc...they hate being over-watered.
but i
learned and they too are getting better. most outstanding plant in this
batch
is nc's MCW. got a real nice mom set aside and several sisters sitting
with
2 brothers in their own room as i type. the mom was cloned so she'll
hopefully be around for quite a while. another excellent looking plant
coming along is a clone of last year's shishkeberry...thanks again,
highroller! i was too lazy but luckily a local friend kept it going through
cloning. have others but i'll save the reports until they're harvested...about
40 more days max, i figure.
also, april 3rd, planted 5 each of the champagne and romulan surprises
and 6 romberries...all up and running. soon to start half dozen durban
surprise for the late summer harvest. they will be joining a host of others
already well along...

edhassle - you never want to plant fresh cuts or seeds directly into that
soil
mix. Germinate and root in the plain sunshine mix and then after roots
are
well developed, you'll want to move to the hot soil mix. The sunshine mix
will keep them happy for a couple of weeks with no additional ferts. Maybe
a shot of 1/2 strength fish ferts a couple of days before transplanting
will
help get them prepared for the move to the hot soil mix.

Hey dutch, there is a very very potent clone of g13 floating around. BG,
NCGA, and BCGA all have it in their gardens but I think that NCGA is the
only one that has made any commercial seeds yet, G13/NL. G13 is very
potent but also very low yielding. The Mississipi source swears that it
is the
real deal and we see no reason to doubt him. BCGA is just waiting to
determine how stable it is before making any real seed offerings with it.
I
suspect the same goes for the others.
It's nice to hear that there are some BC growers out there that know of
this

ganja
as possible during my trip. My favorites were Homegrown Fantases Haze,
Grey Areas Grey Mist and Bubblegum, and the rokeries NL*Haze/mist. I
think that the Green House is highly over rated, way to commercial. I only
visited the centrum, but the techno they weere playing gave me a serios
headache. Most Dutch love techno for some odd reason. The coolest
places I visited wwere positive grow and Milas botanical herbalist shop,
both were run by kind and knowledgable people. At the botanical herbalist
one could obtain anthing, from a giant hash machine to 4 yaer old peyote
plants to Ayahuaca. I was disiponted to find that sensis museum
coffeeshop is no longer aloud to sell herbs. I was looking forward to
sampling silver pearl. I saw this plant at the museum and its central bud
was monstruos. Well I hope no one minds this post as it has nothing to
do

Read in a Tom Flowers book on forced mj flowering, that MJ grown on
higher elevations, ie, 10,000
ft. tested for higher THC content. I assume this is the plant's response
to
this particular environment.
>>>>OK..well io also know that drier air will cause a plant to produce
MORE
THC....
so is the results from this test (plants producing more thc)
showing that the higher altitude producing more thc a direct result of
the
drier air, more UV light..or a combination of both
My understanding is that more UV means that the plant will produce MORE
thc glands to REFRACT the UV light..and also that the UV causes the plant
to break THC down into a more complex form of cannabionod...resulting
into a more PHYCOACTIVE substance...
i would say that if i were higher up in the air...i like a plant would
recieve...more UV LIGHT....more carbon dioxide...more dry air.....
ALL of these have a DIRECT result on the THC and other cannabinoid
production. (PLUS because you are closer to the light source you get more
light..

was called Chemo about a year ago from a biker buddy. It is a typical
indica, broad leafed, deep green, makes huge buds with resin like crazy,
and is very strong. It seems to breed true, and is a bit slow growing
compared to other varieties. The really unusual bit is the smell. It reminds
me of burning rubber, in an good sort of way. It isn't my favourite, but
is in

like F2s so the labels are pretty much meaningless. The labels will help
to
identify trends though. That way we can see if any of the moms tend to
produce better offspring than others. This is actually a common breeding
practice and is referred to as half sib crosses.

The red stems are natural and seems to me that ALL seedlings have red
stems..this will turn green on most after about the third or fourth set
of
leaves
make sure you dont water too much and do yourself a favor by getting a
4
foot PLUGGIN (able to plug and unplug) set of flouresents. do your
seedlings with this light source so you can hang it just half an inch above
the seedlings..move it up as they grow.
Too solve your problem ..first wet then mound the soil around the stem
to
give the seedling support but only make the mound about 1/2 inch tall so
you dont develope stem rot.
I hope this helps..next time you will get more responces asking about

As for BG, NCGA, and BCGA collaborating on new strains, I wish we were

Romberry is now public property and NCGA or any other breeder doesn't
need my permission or cooperation to work with it.

champagne when he gave it to me in trade. It is good yielding and has

Never thought of trimming leaves on the clones. I just helped a friend
take
a bunch and we did it into a flat of rockwool cubes. I was worried about
these molding.
I think two of my blueberry clones took, they weren't happy about being
taken at four weeks flower. If they take we're gonna try some cuts in a
friend's hydro table and see how they do.
I find different strains root at different speeds when cloned. I had a
bcbb
strain for a while that would take in four days, literally roots popping
out the
r.w. cube in four days of 18 hr lite. Most seem to take at least a week,
often
closer to two.

okay ill shed a little light on my technigue,ive tried all the forementioned
techniques here,with both good and bad results..for me time is real
valuable and what i find works best is the aero cloner,like the one at
weedbase...i grow only organic until you see mt cloning table,haha,i use
GH bloom-micro-grow and humic acid(the real key),at 15-10-5-15 ml per 5
gallons of water...i set ph to 6 and keep temp around 75-78 deg F.all i
do is
snip off the clone,trim 1/2 the leave off to inhibite mold growth and place
in
aero cloner..no rooting hormone,no diagonal cut under water,etc...now
depending on how the clones are used there is several ways to
transplant,if going in to soil i move as soon as i see bumps on the stems,if
going into hydroton i let roots get about an inch long.the only tricky
part is
moving the clones from the cloner to the medium,best if done in same area
but under certain circumstances we have moved in 5 gallon buckets filled
with the nutrient solution and just left clones to float...
anyways i find this system super easy,cut clone place into cloner and come
back in 5-8 days...simple...

Trelaway, that is so weird.
When I clone in rockwool it's always a hit and miss thing. One time I'll
get
great results and another they all turn yellow. I tested ph and it is fine.
My method was very same to yours with teh exception of teh hood removal.
I
would soak overnight with nutriboost at 50 drops per gal. Then set clones,
and leave about 1/4" of water in bottom. I talked to Chuck at Mr Fert and
he
said I was leaving them too wet and to squeeze the cubes a little?
I can do soil clones without batting an eye. I even recently tried 50/50
perlite/worm castings and it worked well. Didn't even use a rooting
hormone. I always mist with no-damp though. And cut off the outer 1/2 of
each leaf to increase airflow and reduce chances of mold. Always works.
But rockwool is a different story. I need to find a way that always works.

Hey anyone up on the Malahat? What's up with the water supply up there?
It's killing my plants. They are all yellow now. New growth is stunted

curled under. They must be going nuts with chlorine or some other

even repotting.

Cap'n--I clone into rockwool and this is exactly how I do it here and rarely
lose a clone taken in veg, a few more lost if I take them while in budding:
You need a black tray and dome (pretty important), cloning stuff (gel or
powder) and a nail.
Let them soak them a half hour before using. Don't squeeze them out. I
don't adjust the ph for clones, doesn't seem to matter. Turn the cubes
upside down and make a new hole with the nail between centre and a
corner. I find, unless you take big clones, the premade hole too big.
Take the cutting, dip in gel (better than powder but powder works fine)
and
place in your cloning medium.
A little water in the bottom of the black tray. They need at least sixteen
hours of lite.
Put clones in tray and cover with dome for three days (checking to see
things are still moist during these three days) Dome off day four, on five,
off
six for good. Keep the medium wet until you see roots. When you have root,
plant in your medium.

TOPIC - re: VHO'S and CO2 from fermenting
DATE - 18:49:32 4/09/99
FROM - TheLight
I have done a few experments with VHO's. My setup presently has 6 banks
of T8's 8 bulbs a bank using electronic ballasts . They draw 0.92 amps
per
ballast and I need one ballast for each four tubes. The lumen output for
each bank is similar to a 400w metal halide. I recently did a experement
where I had a VHO unit one bank on one side of the room on the other side
I had a 1000w high pressure sodium at 48" away from the tops of the
plants I used 36 six inch square pots and had the same strain variety and
used the same nutrients etc through out the grow cycle{I forced flower
the
second they got roots} on each. My net result was 383 grams for the
thousand watt and 389 grams for the VHO's about the same for each. If I
had a air or water cooled hood I could of moved the thousand watt closer
and got a better yield but I did not have one. The VHO's produce virtually
no
heat so I placed them about a 1/2 inch away from the growing tips and
raised them as the plants grew. I found the VHO's buds to be a little more
tighter than the high pressure sodium. There seem to be a tighter
internodal distance as well. This could be as you can pick and choose the
kelvin temperature of your bulbs I am using 6 3000 kelvin (red) and 2 6500
kelvin (BLUE) in each bank as I am mostly flowering. If was doing more
of a
vegetative cycle I would add another blue and remove a red. Plants need
blue and red for photosynthesis they reflect back to you green as they
do
not use this part of the light spectrum. Reds stimulate flowering thats
why I
have 6 reds in my bank and also why some growers switch from metal
halide to high pressure sodium half way through there grow cycle.If you
have power constraints the VHO's are the way to go they use virtually no
power my last power bill last was $86 dollars but I am using power smart
products through out my house. I purchased my last bank at Crop Circle
a
garden store in New Westminster BC but there might be somebody near
you selling something similar ask around for T8 VHO's with electronic
ballasts. I hope this answers some of your questions.

Rover-No, the AA Sk is not what you would call "stinky".
But it does have a noticeable aroma. An aroma, some find pleasant. At 28
days it smells a little like used gym
socks with a hint of sandalwood. A quite manly fragrance.
Vic High-Thx for the warning against pulling the trigger
and harvesting too early. Forgot to tell you that pistils
were pollinated, which I understand, can turn the pollinated
pistils to turn brown. Already the foaf notices the seed
bracts are swelling up. Told to hvst. when seeds pods ready

Hey Vic,
I'll drive up the next week or so and check out Blue Rose. I never liked
going
to the same supply place anyway, having another well stocked option is
cool.
Been using those pelleted ferts. The package suggests working them into
your soil and letting them break down slowly. I, instead, took 10ml, added
it
to a litre of water and let it sit for a week. I divided the liter among
four plants
in two gallon pot. They seem to like it fine, makes a great tea but when
you
open the bottle after it's been sitting.....wow does it smell.

smokey ants dont affect your plants themselves directly but the aphids
they
take to your plant to farm do! Best cure I know is to mix borax into a
sugar
syrup and put it in small bottles laid on their side, just enough to drip
a little
out the neck, they just love it it works as a slow acting poison they take
it
back to the nest and share it round it takes about a week to 10 days.
Old Bud I grow comfrey and add it to my worm compost bins it sure makes
for good buds. For those that are interested the variety with the highest
allantoin levels is Bocking No 14 it also produces the most potash and

Well did I get a suprise when I enetered the place. They were stocked from

chemical and organic nutes. They had HIDs, hoods, ppm pens, and all

........... the post on Weedbase you were talking about ( if memory serves
me
....??! ) was describing an off season grown 6 ft-er lightly seeded ind/sat
plant in the sub tropics in wet , misty conditions ( think outdoor sauna
! the
kind of place where you need a shower after a shower !) , after some seeds
germinated on the bud , they were planted nearby and the plant was cut
.
Keep in mind that this is a fairly rare occurance and takes the right (
wrong
? ) combination of warmth , sun , rain , high humidity , lack of wind ,
mist
and a seeded plant . In 99 times out of 100 mold in similar conditions
would slush things up long before the seeds start popping on colas !
Equatorial sativas tend to " drop " their seeds the minute they are fully
formed , so , among other things , germination on the branch at 6 ft above
the ground in tropical conditions is'nt a problem , indica seeds tend to
stay
encased , although loose , in the calyx long after they are mature . Indica
seeds are protected from the freeze over winter by the calyx and its heavy
coating of resin , the bud rots off in the thaw and the seeds germinate
.
Some growers have noticed a slight improvement in germ %'s and speed
of germination from fresh seeds keep in the refridgerator for a few weeks
as opposed to seeds that were taken from the tree and planted same day
,
so it makes sense to plant seeds that have been " aged " for a few weeks
or more for maximum germ. speed and high germination rates , but viable
seed , fresh or otherwise will germinate . A germination differance of
70 %
or more between fresh and fridge stored seeds sounds like a lot ! ,
perhaps the seeds were picked a day or three too early and they needed
those two weeks to loose a bit of their " freshness " as V said . Did the
fresh seeds open and die or did they just not pop ? , did they germinate
slower than the same plant stored seeds ? ...........HAVE BIG
FUN...........Kunta ..............

The seeds simply need to mature. The dormant period (desication and/or
cooling) is needed probably as a survival mechanism. Many plants can't
germinate until their seeds have experienced a frost. It's often a chemical
process within the seed. It's like there is an anti-germination chemical
within the seed that breaks down over time and when exposed to cool
temps.

Hi all, This is for Vic, or any one that has exp with fresh beans, Ive
seen low
germ rates (20-30%) on recently harvested seeds, and a few weeks later
(stored in the fridge) the rate improves (90-100%). Could it be that the
fresh
resin on the seeds does not allow enough water to permeate the shell? I
read somewhere that the fridge may simulate a "winter" period that may
"solidify the embryo?? Ive even tried to clean the resin off
with some dish soap, but still the early tries are bad. This is on some

irish - HS has been completely restocked recently. However it's best to
contact HS about these matters.
pi - aeric's CO was a big hit around here as well. It was also a hit in
the
garden yield wise and it responded well to my low light levels.
loop_hole - I'm looking forward to your side by side comparison of the
to
roms. As for the uv, all I can say is that a couple of days of 24 hour
exposure to the naked 400w optimarc bulb didn't kill the plants. I still
chickened out and made a special trip yesterday to replace with a new bulb
:)
Rover - romulan genes naturally have that red pigmentation that you speak
off. It increases as light intensity and plant health increases. Romulan
and
some romberries even get purple pistals when they are really happy. Must
be part of the kush ancestry.
MiAmOr - be careful with the early harvest. Some strains seem to cycle
through the browning of pistals and the developement of new ones.
Romulan does this at about 6-7 weeks but doesn't really finish until week
9-11.
I think these chemo I have are the same. I thought they were ready at 5
weeks because of their brown pistals despite the fact that their buds were
still fairly leafy. I cut the top half leaving the bottom half to set seeds.
The
aroma was still fairly green but I figured that was just a trait of this
strain.
That bud had a nice stone to start but then started to fade early. Then
you
would just want to go to sleep. Well I looked at the bottoms recently and
these buds really look nice plump hard nugs. The calyx to leaf ratio has
improved substantially and the aroma has a very nice ripe tone to it. It's
obvious now that the first harvest was way too early.
Newbies - for generic newbie questions, there are many more apropriate
places with more people to answer your questions. I've added links to them
on teh BCGA main page. Link is above just below the photo. We need to
narrow the focus of this page a little. I hope you understand and you are

I have added more phosphate (25%) and Magnesium (5%) for the

The real key is the ALLANTOIN (1/2 tsp per 5gal) it helps digest the extra
P

in resin based on personal observation. Cant speak for it's taste or high

Any comments. Plus a small branch on each AK was pollinated with the

factor, but usually that only induces faster ripening on that particler
branch.And the Kalis were waiting to-long allready, to get in the flower

I've had an epiphany! Since dark green leaves absorb more heat and
energy from the sun than light green leaves, then if you make your leaves
darker green using a little more ferts(organics are safer), you won't need

I havent been posting much but reading alot. Great posts here, alot of
CONSTRUCTIVE conversation from all. My hat goes off to all of you.
My situation hasnt changed much, I only have 2 ladies budding right now
since I had to down-size my operation. Both plants are an accidental cross
of Rom X Skunk that happened with a hermie rom that only dropped one
pollen sack from the main trunk. The resulting female seeds definitely
take
after Rom(thank god) and they are very aggressive growers. 2 weeks into
12hours and resin is kickin in nicely. Im not an experienced breeder but
its
nice to see what happens when 2 strains mate. Im vegging some blue
widow seeds but its F2. Im just hoping to get one nice female so I can
clone it.
I was curious to know if many of you get the same problem I am having.
My
fan stems are reddening but its only on the tops of them. If you look at
the
stem from the side it looks striped, red on top and green on bottom. I
was
told that this is a magnesium defficiency but I keep pretty good check
on my
nutes. I think that it is just a photochemical response because it only
happens on the fans that get the most light exposure.

A foaf has a sole AA Skunk Number 1. This puppy is MASSIVE. The foaf
almost chopped it down because of it's
rapid and early growth, thinking "It must be a male to grow that tall so
fast".
But cooler heads prevailed, and
it turned out to be a female. A big, fat momma.
Anyhoos...at 28 days into 12/12, approx. 25% of pistils have
darkened. At that rate, harvesting when "40-60% of pistils have changed
color", will produce some incredibly early bud!!! Is this crazy or what?
Should this foaf consider letting the buds go beyond this
rule of thumb? Situation is 1) Hydro setup; 2) 4 other strains-buds relatively
undeveloped.
Should a clearing solution (Pure Blend only) be started
soon?
I assume after Skunk #1 is harvested the solution
would revert back to a bloom solution until a week before
the other strains near completion.
Thanks in advance!

bulbs
(real ones) are over $100 each (4 footers) and are harder to get without
license. I figured theyíd be way too intense and would have to cycle them.
So I was thinking of using a 4-foot reptile lamp(s) or 100w MH with the
outer jacket removed on for the full 12/12. Anyone have any idea what kind
of area this would cover. I also have a few 6 foot tanning bed lights (donít

Hey Old Hand - ya don't need permission to share what you know :)
Thanks for the tips, but too late. I took a chance and set it up. Checked
again this AM and they were still green and not brown so I guess all is
ok. I
figure the UV damage would happen right away if it was going to happen.
Given enough time to adapt, I figure that the plants would start producing
their UV defenses and so as time goes by, there is a lesser chance that
the UV will harm them. Maybe I'll experiment and lower bulb to 12" next
week to test the limits.
Like I tried to get across at the start, human safety wasn't a concern

whole lot to be said for uninturupted curing, and im no twinkee that gets
high on rope(22 years smoking) and this Rom has really now cured to a
great 1-2 hit high, nice improvement over the rest thats in glass but
refridigated since the 3-4 week after harvest.
It really lost alot of color though, but when you dont sell, cosmetic
apperance is of small concern.
pi & subcool:please post anything that may be of concern to a new grower
a/b Kalimist, as you may encounter during your exp with the strain, as
ive
heard its finicky,and can "hermi up" on ya quick, if stressed. Soothing
words for a stressed grower were found from the breeder of KMs sister
strain when he said "Just give the KM/WW a stable enviroment and they will
be fine". However stable things are,id enjoy reading any input;-)
Any one got plans for 5-1-99? And I mean more then just roasting!

The description on Neville's Haze says to discard any plants(as breeders)
that flower much over 14 weeks as impractical. If I'm reading this right,
they
think haze plants that take 17 or more weeks are just a waste of time for
little or no gain in the potency. But you and others say the best plants
take
the longest. Is it worth to wait an extra month to grow more potent plants?
Eric-I read somewhere that indoor plants can only utilize about two hours
of
intense UV light during the middle of the light period. Those tanning lights
are probably way too much for the plant to utilize.

Vic the inner capsule on a HQI T is if you look sturdier than the HPI T
type to
cope with the extra current from the sodium ballast. I know to my own
expense what its like to have a hpit explode using a sodium ballast.
Without the protective outer Quarts glass envelope you are getting over
95% more uv content is all. Keep a eyes on your plants for burning on the

Hi all,
Good to see that with the increased activity, the board is actually getting
more interesting to read. I agree that it is purely a positive thing that
we
want to continue.
Also, remember to help out with the freedom side of MJ. Even if it is just
talking to friends and such and educating them about the herb, or helping
out NORML, try and do something. We are riding a good wave of press
about MJ right now, so we want it to continue. Check out these 2 stories
i
found at CNN. The cop Horton(grandma story) seems like a total washout.

OT - The bulb I'm talking about has already been designed to operate in
a
sodium ballast. It's an Osram Powerstar HQIT 400 w/d. I accidently broke
the outer shell off but it still works. This backup room gets visited about
once a week so UV exposure to humans is negligiable. I just don't want
to
fry the kids. This safe house is generous enough to let me borrow a room
but too paranoid to allow me to use a 1000 MH. I've never had a reason
to
stock myself with 400s so I'm in a position of having to make do for a
week
or two. With the old 430HPS the health is dropping faster than I anticipated.
My goal in this situation has nothing to do with UV.

I said that if you ran a metal halide from a sodium ballast that it upped
the
the whole light spectrum especially the uv component by overrunning the
lamp by 30%. Most 400 w halide ballasts limit the lamp current to about
3.5
amps and sodium ones to 4.5 amps. The outer envelope is not needed for
the lamp to run the same inner elements are used as an intense uv source
for colour plate development. If close to your plants you are likely to
burn or
kill them but much more importantly you can do irreversible damage to your
eyes the output is many times that of germicidal lamps you are a mate so
please take care you shouldn't even be in the same room as where one is
running. If you want to use one as a uv source it should be well up from
the
plants and a switch outside the growroom so you can turn it off before
entry.
The normal height with a complete 400 w lamp from the plants is 18
inches stationary and about 10 inches on a mover. I am really concerned
I
hope you are ok!!! Ot1
Eric the addition of uv allows each variety to produce the most complex
thc
possible within its genetics. Varieties from high mountain areas that have
adapted to high uv will produce the most complex mix of thc and
consequently the highest stone especially if the genetics come from central
Africa or the Himalayas where THCV is in the genes.

TOPIC - UV-B
DATE - 11:43:45 4/03/99
FROM - Eric
Vic I'm thinking aboutthis..you already have the MH and HPS lighting..the
tanning lights would just be an addition to it...I have also read and heard
that the plant produces cannaboinds to protect from UV-B..the more UV-B
light, the more cannabinoids the plant will produce to protect itself from
them..as with the African strains that produce the "special" cannabonid
(cant remember the name) but it is supposed to be VERY phocoactive, well
this is said to be caused by the extra UV-B those plants recieve in Africas
climate. So Im thinking that theoreticaly you should be able to really
increase the potency to a new level..Im sure every plant has a certain
level it
will produce..but like with carbon dioxide..
what isd it like 800 part per million that is found naturally in the air
we
breath..but it is like 2000 parts per million that a plant can handle and
(whatever the correct umber is) it has the best growth...
It can "grow" with 800 parts per million....but for "super growth"..you
give the
plants 2000 parts per million...
looking at potency..the plant will get you high if grown with HPS..MH..maybe
even blow you away....
but what will happen if you give it the UV-B light..even more than happens
naturally...more than it recieves from the sun....What will happen ????
How
potent can we get these girls to go???
Will some strains like the satavias..durbans..tais will these plants and
strains respond better to the addition of UV-B???? can they handle more
of
it than those not used to it????
I do know this for sure...these plants that are grown now like some of
the
more potent strains we all grow..are very good indeed..they do the
job..some more than others...VERY VERY POTENT...sometimes to
much...well guys..these plants are MORE potent when done outside...and
it
is because of the UV-B..that is proven. I just want to know if there is
a
level???? how potent can we go???
For twelve bucks a tube I'm ready to find out....any and all ideas are
needed.

Man I have been on these boards for a while now and to tell you the truth...I
see maybe 5 naqmes from when i started posted..most people just
changed their names..and really I thought about it a few times I was even
asked to by a few more "known " members of the community because my
name had alot of shit attached to it...Its a long story.. I was friends
with a
seedbank owner...I supported him..i found out that he was a liar and a
ripoff. So i told everyone..well he and his hateful little friend started
a flame
war that I happily joined in and flamed back..because at the time thats
what
everyone did...we joked and flmaed and laughed..now you cant joke
because eveyone from that time is so edgy..it was always on the seed
board at cannabis.com..shit during the flame wars Ron even shut the
board down and you could only go there if you alreday had the addy..well
anyway ..the community changed in all of that..the whole way the board
and
community responded and replied had changed..everyone just got tired of
all the bullshit...becaus eit is so easy to stri it up..Hell even Vic got
dragged
into a flame war with a troll...shit RC got dragged in..Marc
emery..Dr.greenthumbs...EVERYONE has i think...well i did too. sometimes
they just get so fed up they never post again..just so sick of being fucked
with they just stop posting all together...
I decided that even though the flames and joking were fun at the time...it
has changed ..now everyone wants seriousness and fact..and to tell you
the truth i like it more..because to other people that read our posts and
repiles..well i think we as a pot community as a whole look more
intellegent and friendly...
We are and i think anyone that is not part of our community should see
us
in this way instead of a bunch of flamein assholes ...
as for the seedbank that i spoke up about...he turnned out to be a rippoff
after all..(im not hte only person that was flamed to death by this
seedbank...there was a guy named Honu..and a guy named Doodoohed)
both of these guys are tops and i hope they are still around under a new
name)
as for the name change..i just said fuck it. people know me as Eric..so

Hey has anyone here have some experience of running MH bulbs without
the protective glass bulb?
Reason I ask is my backups are at a safe house. Largest light I can use
is
a 400 and I only Have HPS ballasts that size. The 430 sonagros that came
with them are ancient and after just a couple weeks the plants are not
looking too good. I bought an optimarc but the bulb is a dud and shops
are
closed until next week. Safe house is out of town so getting there is a
pain.
I have another optimarc that I accidently broke. I just tried it naked
and it
works!
So I remember OT mentioning a while ago that it was a trick for increasing
uv production. Do I need to worry how close I let this 400w get to the
plants? I just need something to get me by for a week or two until my next
trip up there.
Thanks

Hi All,
KGB I have a little exp with Rom & Sup Crys. Rom was afoafs first grow,
and for a first I think it was a great one, 3 females out of 6 beans, in
BCGAs
SuperSoil recipe, veged under 400mh for 50 days. They were topped at the
6th node, and flowered under a 400hps 12/12 for 50-55 days, and the three
ladys yielded a bit more then 6 ozs, and the tops were a/b 11" long and
3.5"
wide and weighed 19-21gr cured each! o yea and no Co2. And they were a
snap to grow.And a absolute Joy to smoke, very tasty and potent:-)
I was very disapointed with the SuperCrystal that was harvested last month,
it was medium strenth bud, and it was flowered under 80wats per sq ft of
400mh and 400hps used together. But its important to note that it was only
one female, and she was a whorled plant, I just think that something was
amis with her resin cromosones(if there is such) but she was a yielder
over 2 oz in a 2 gal pot. Now for the good news there are 3
females(SuperCrystal) now in flower that are looking fantastic, 2 are in
5
gal pots 1 in a 3 gal pot, they are in there 2-5 weeks, ill keep ya posted!.
Naughty if your lurking the Ak sat/doms are hanging(cut yesterday) Ill
email
a complete note on them in a days.
Yall Stay safe and Happy Easter, and a good Passover if it applys;-)

TOPIC - uv
DATE - 06:47:18 4/03/99
FROM - Vic High
On uv, I'm from the opposite position than Greco Roman, but then my
position is theoretical alone so take it as that.
My understanding is that the introduction of uv will create an acute effect
on
the plant's potency. That is one of the reasons I use MH conbined with
HPS
in the flower room. Most old experienced growers know that they get more
potent buds this way.
For the hobby grower, I can see taking a conservative approach to
introducing UV. From a breeder's perspective, I see little reason to. A
plant
produces cannabinoids to protect against UV right? Then those seedlings
that are most potent will have the best chance of not frying. Just some
thoughts anyway.
There are more notes on this subject at the BCGA home page by others
more knowledgeable. Link is above.
TOPIC - Hi Eric
DATE - 23:10:56 4/02/99
FROM - Greco Roman
greetz dude, this topic was discussed on the grow set up boards awhile
back. I thought about it then, here's my thoughts. First any supercharging
of
uv would have to be done over a period of time so that the plant could
adapt
to the excess of what the strain would normally expect. second, that may
just take longer than one season, which means breeding for a higher
exposure. ( Not my bag ) Any increase that the plant can handle will mean
a
change in other factors such as nutes, water sched, temp, and maybe
humidity. Thats alot to juggle, but with time it could be done.
The plant can sunburn too you know, so like I said a progressive program
seams to be called for. And then the question comes up, is 25 watts for
10
hours better than 250 watts for 1 hour? See what I mean, the old hps
intensity verus distance question. fuctup nomore may have started, might
try him. Sorry if you have already thought of all this, and good luck.

So im still thinking about the addition of UV-A,B,C to the lighting indoor
plants recieve..i just got back from a tanning business, I jpoined the
membership because i need a tan..while i was in there i looked threw the
catalog of bulbs...the lady tells me that tanning in the bed for 10 minutesd
is like being in the sun all day...the UV-B bulbs go for $12 bucks each..thats
6 foot bulbs...they last she says for a year running with breaks but all
day
pretty much..
She says when the tanning beds first came out you laid under them for an
hour..they were 1/3 of 1%...theses new bulbs are
6.5..
so im thinking if you added them you should only have to run them for like
an hour a day or less or more..really needs to be tested..
but from what i understanbd about this..the addition of UV-B bulbs to your
plants WILL increase their potency..that seems to be understood by most
growers...
My question is this.....
instead of just running the lights for an hour..can i run them 24 hours
a
day??....If we know for syure that the addition of this light source increases
potenecy..does a steady supply of it bring potency to a new level???
If the buds we smoke blow our heads off just with AVERAGE light....what
will happen when we add lights that have PROVEN to increase potency and
just how potent can we get???
I wonder if just looking at theses buds will blow your head
off...HAHAHAH....I want pot that not just gets you high...but pot that
when you
smoke it you can actually feel your head cracking into..HAHAH..
tests will Definitly be done on this project...If anyone has any useful
information i would LOVE to read it..I have already read the acrhives....see

Treleway - the different points of view come from different points of
reference I guess.
If you look at a smaller picture then you could justify using the herms
because they were stress induced and that they wouldn't beused for
breeding, yadda, yadda, yadda
Personally, I'm dead against it. First, if the blueberries didn't hermie,
then
there is a good chance that what you grew weren't romberry (somebody
screwed up) so who knows what you would be spending the time and
space one. Also it is likely that they were true herms and that would most
likely simply produce more herms.
And lets say that something really good developes that totally blows you
away. The temptation to use it in breeding will be too much for most, haha.
You may even share the clone with someone, and so on, and so on, etc.
Much of my breeding stock has come from special clones who's heritage
is largely unknown.
I personally feel it's best to just leave the scenario alone.
KGB - welcome. I've never grown chronic or super crystal and I'll leave
