^^^a Medi u really turn that damn light on??....looks crazy as hell. What happen?

Well over Christmas Break I was on vacation the heater took a shit while I was gone, it was really cold and a water pipe burst.

I know not as cool as some revolutionary aero/dwc/flooded hybrid. But hey maybe Ill work on that:)

The badboy was on when I got home, I reached up and turned it off (by hand) the toggle switches are covered in thick plastic from the the factory and I wasnt standing in water or anything.
(Im dumb but not that dumb.):D

All the lights were still working my friend just wanted to snap a couple picture before I clicked them all off, he has some serious schadenfreude, fucker couldnt stop laughing, I remember him saying something about "water cooled lights", , then I fucking burst out laughing.
Thought I would share the laughter.:D

Quantum makes some pretty badass products though, naming their T5 ballast Badboy is pretty damn fitting, I also had a quantum digi ballast, still works.

Lumatek, Galaxy, HidHut all :sick0004:

I just ended up tossing the plant(obviously).

 

[Mr. Greenthum]

How Not To Grow Dope!

1. Decide while stoned to become a weed baron
   
2. Plant leftover bagseeds and go looking for lights
   
3. Try to steal neighbor's floodlights, burn fingers, go to plan B after healing up
   
4. Buy incandescent halogen lights at OfficeJerks cos they look real bright and one blacklight over at the head shop cos it's purpleyness is cool as fuck and makes the Jimi Hendrix velvet poster glow something wicked.
   
5. 4 out of 72 seeds sprout, fuckin ace!
   
6. All 4 get stretchy, fall over and die
   
7. Put the black light a little closer to cheer it up
   
8. Smoked the dried out seedling, gave me a headache, so I planted some more bagseeds
   
9. Dug out Uncle Bob's marijuana grow book from 1972, marveled at nail-thru-stem technique for improving potency
   
10. 9 out of 147 sprout, fuckin ace!
    
11. Put a pound of nails in salty water to get em good and rusty
    
12. All 9 get stretchy, fall over and die
    
13. I figured they wasn't getting enough light, so I stole granny's big ole heat lamp and a couple of headlights from some passing cars (damn they're hard to grab at stoplights)
    
14. Planted more seeds, put more bullshit and a couple of dead fish in soil mix this time (hey it worked for the Indians and the Pilgrims)
    
15. Neighbours complained about the shitty fish smell, I told them to rack off, so they called the cops, who confiscated all the 'evidence.'
    
16. Saw story on Fox News about wicked intarwebs sites about marijuana growing warping kids brains, figured I wasn't warped enough
    
17. Found pot growing website, figured I'd do a big favor for all those newbie idiots who'd never planted a seed and show em how to do it
    
18. Typed Uncle Bob's entire 1972 Yippie Underground growbook into the pot growing website, waited for praises to flow in
    
19. No one said nothing, so I typed it in again IN ALL CAPS SO THEY COULD READ IT BETTER
    
20. Decided I'd hang around and learn something, there's this guy who says his friend's uncle's brother in law once knew a guy who grew like POUNDAGE in an old refrigerator
    
21. Stole a refrigerator and put all my halogen lights in it along with a 5000 watt security light I found on top of a football stadium
    
22. Planted 693 more seeds in old coconut shells and put a half a box of Miracle Gro granules on each one
    
23. One sprouted and it screamed at me to kill it before it had to spend another second in that damn fridge
    
24. Gave up tryin to be a weed baron
    
25. Got stoned again decided to put the Arabs out of biz with a car that will run on leftover Mountain Dew
    
26. Broke into a vending machine and stole 900 cans of Mountain Dew

Yeah that Quantum ipod dock was a promotional thing for hydro stores if I remember correctly, and the thread you are speaking of is most likely, "1500 Watt Master Blaster Vertical Grow", The Thead . I get it now you silly bitches lol

Cheers,
Crom

 

[MediMary]

No Bueno


I guess you got to be connected to get one. Shit!
They should sell um, I would buy one if they were reasonable.

You can probably score one off ebay or something like that. Hell contact Quantum, or ask your local hydro store to get one for you.

Found a pic on gucci's thread, thats pretty cool!

 

[Seamaiden]

there is no saving it the buds are soaked and if u try to harvest it it will taste like crap:sick0004:

Soaked buds do not equal a trashed harvest.

Just sayin'.

roflmao +1 sea:D

I gota agree soaked buds don't necessarily equate to no herb, but there was a bunch of broken HPS bulbs as well(hot light, sprayed with cold water.)
Don't want to smoke any mercury.:)

Yes medimary is short for medical marijuana :) my name isn't mary, LOL:D

 

[lil miss lone]

I saw where thecannablog had to scrap his plants cause of PM and he is a master grower

LMAO at him being a master grower, did you read that thread?? Don't listen to what he says.

 

[lil miss lone]

First off I would suggest doing some serious research into growing methods. You seemed to have confused methods somewhere. Aeroponic growing is not about misting the foliage, its about misting the roots. There is no way to combine DWC and aeroponics. What a proper aeroponic system is is a system that allows the root system to be exposed to air while staying moist and taking up the nutrients from the mist directed at the roots. In fact once in flowering you want to keep your foliage as dry as possible, or yes, you will see mold.

You may not be seeing mold because it is far to cold for it to grow. Your cold temperatures are definitely hurting your plant. While you do not want your water to be too warm you also do not want it to be too cold. Cold water does not mean more dissolved oxygen. You want to keep the room temperature around 75 degrees Fahrenheit and the water between 65 and 70 degrees. And get your humidity down, 98% is far too high, I am surprised its not raining in there with a humidity that high.

This is obviously a first attempt and you should use this as a learning experience more than anything. So like I said do a lot more reading and research, keep trying methods to find what works best for you and your plants, and you will eventually have good results.

Well said my dude. This is by far the best response I've heard.

Garden of dreams, what are you laughing at? Just curious. We were all newbs at one point, and we learn from mistakes made.

Keep your head up Medi, and knock em out of the park next time.
