Shady’s Round 11… Finally Flipped

:dull Well, I screwed around too much and got lazy… Been putting together a PVC screen system over the last day or so, and will carefully install the screen tomorrow… I had flipped the lights on 2/12/11 and took the following pictures a week later. Tomorrow night I’ll take current shots after the screen is installed…

To recap, in the following photo there are five Master x Bubba’s in the UC, one short White Master on the bottom left bucket, and a huge White Urkle in the bottom right bucket…

The upper canopy over the four largest plants furthest from the Epicenter is full and lush…

I’ve also been cleaning up the lower canopy on Days 1, 5, and 10 of bloom… Tomorrow, I’ll do another pruning session once the screen is installed…

Shits lookin off the chains shady! Sexy ass roots. Is there a site 2 order uc gaer from? I like these setups. Im want one hella bad. How much did a setup like this cost?

 

[2DogWalker]

Shady bro, everything looks amazingly healthy! Watching you rock this out makes me want to go buy a 6 site UC to try out - Gotta get more Power first tho lol... Spectacular man... Thanks for the epic show.

[BudGoggles]

Very nice plants are happy your kicking ass

Alls you need to do is pound some 2x4 s to hold the mover. Maybe some real thick wire to hold the track. I almost got 2#s with the mover and Im sure Im gonna pass that up soon. Without the mover it would a lot harder

Thx Rival! The system itself is under $1000, but the other equipment such as the light, hood, ballast, chiller, max fan, etc costs much more... :thinking

Shady Under Current… SCROG and Trim Complete

Alright… Spent 2 hours last night and carefully installed the screen. Then today I finished the lower canopy’s trim. Finally I bumped up the wattage on the Quantum to 750W, raised the Magnum XXXL, and will complete the ducting to cool the hood. Once again, many thanks to my buddies and the lurkers patiently following along… Pretty soon the eye candy is gonna be sweet and the room will be lit up with another round…
Until then you can’t see…

"Past My Shades"
(feat. Lupe Fiasco)

(B.o.B)
If you asked me what's on my mind you probably won't believe it
Cause if life was one big pool I'd be in the deep end
So I play my role and never ever speak it
Like a secret
And all the while you just just to figure me out

(Chorus: B.o.B)
But you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades

(B.O.B)
Well ask me a question I tell you no lies
Cause there's nothing to hide my souls in my eyes
And I'm ahead of my time but I cannot rewind
The only thing I fear is the mirror in my bathroom
People look and try to see a disguise
But there is nothing that nobody can't see in light
If it's a song with a rhyme or a verse with a line
Then you wanna stay in my mind

(Chorus)

(Lupe Fiasco)
Uh, who else but Lu else
You know I got two belts the black and the white one
I begin and I master
I see in my eye glasses
But they sayin' what I'm seeing through is false like Ross
I can hear him through the wall like walk
This way they tryin' to dissuade my thoughts
I'm a slave to myself and disobey my boss
It's all in disarray this parade I walk
They get amazed when they catch a chain I toss
Amidst dis array of different ways I talk
And it hangs from your brain if my chain you caught
Like I cough without covering my mouth
I tip the scales like the King of the south
Forgot that I was fat I lost my way
But now I'm back looking for the shade I sought
And not wonders, Scott Summers
So don't make me take off my stunners
Bobby Ray you know you got my numbers
And them there can't see us like hunters

(Chorus)

La la la la la
Oh yeah
La la la la la
You can't see past my shades
La la la la la
You can't see past my shades

(Chorus)

[Th3Jungl3Boy]

What's up Shady!
I'm glad to see your setup and how beautiful your ladies are looking! I always heard farmers saying how bad ass the system is, how fast the plants grow, and etc; but now seeing your progress and of course my own, I believe and it scares me because I think I kept my girls vegetating for too long and also decided to put 2 plants per bucket, which I hope my situation doesn't become chaotic :(
Couple farmers warned me about having 2 plants per bucket as the roots got into the pvc blocking everything, and I've been thinking to use something like a mesh, same as I used to cover the netpot, blocking the roots to get inside of the pvc.
Good job man, I will be watching it closely :)
Peace!

 

[burnalot420]
