What poppin maxy! It seems like that was money well spent on the gavitas! You are killing it bro! Glad to see ur garden blow like that. Was at an indoor hydro show yesterday and almost bought a 1k induction set up. The technology is moving right along. It will b m next major purchase. The price point is pretty decent. It was actually a dual bulb 500watt. Their thus s but position. I'll get some more info up here when I get home! Just wanted to drop in an say hello! And send some positive vibes to u!MAXY PAD WEEK 3 UPDATE
Well folks, once again work has found yet another way of kicking my ass! I lost a couple of key employees and am having to train new peeps WHILE still getting the work done! It's honestly 3 times as much work it seems like! I'd LOVE to get off this merry-go-round, but never seem to be able to hit a jumping off spot where I know I won't land on my face!
At any rate...I've also been busy as hell in the garden, and between the two...just haven't had allot of time for pics and posting. I had originally planned to post up individual shots of each plant at each update...but dragging them out one at a time for pics is a major fucking undertaking with my bad back and knees, so I hope y'all will forgive an old man and let me slide a bit! ;) The last individual shots I did were right at the flip. I'll drag 'em all out again at about mid-flower or when there's some real excitement going on, and again at chop time, (and of course the requisite post-chop pics)! Fair enough?
In the meantime tho...group shots are easier and still give you an idea how things are progressing with the strains.
As a side note, I'd like to give BOG a special shout out and thanks for providing today's "Sunday, lay around the house meds"! Sourbubble!!! Mmmm! That's a special girl BOG! ;) I've smoked some fine weed in my day bro, and that's really about as good as it gets! Gracias!
Well folks, here's what happens when you try to run a dozen different strains at the same time!! From hardcore Indy's to sat-dom crosses! o_O I REALLY need to join "bean-drowner's anonymous" :bag:, but hey...it IS a mother-hunt after all! You can fuggin' forget an even canopy tho! These run from about 3-1/2 feet to 6'-5" tall! As you can see, I have the lamps "stair-stepped".

In fact, my ceilings are not as tall as I'd like with these Gavitas. (These lamps are VERY bright, strong and hot)! I've gone about as high as I can on my highest lamp, but still burned the top of one of the Grape Romulan plants! :(. I pinched and bent the top over, so as not to lose the whole cola, but it's def a disappointment! The bent top is circled in this pic...

The top was not positioned directly under the light, but was off to the side a few inches and still managed to burn. That'll teach (remind, actually...lol) me to check 'em close often!! :facepalm: This damage happened in just a few hours! Most of the stretchers are the Sat-dom strains, but the Grape Rom should be an Indy-dom. I might have gotten a pheno with a little more sativa in the mix...OR (MORE LIKELY) it stretched because I don't have my shit dialed in yet! lol. :wacky: I admit I've been a bit scared of these new lights, so I probably had them a little too high during the stretch. My temps ran a bit too hot a couple of times until I came to an understanding with the AC unit, too! So, I' not ready to point the finger at the strains themselves just yet. Another round or two will tell the tale! :rolleyes:

Hard to see it in this pic, but I'm actually about 14-16" above the tops now, and that seems to be working. Stretch or no stretch, I'll still be able to tell allot about them in the taste/potency/yield departments from this round, and that IS the main objective right now. I've also seen strains that put on a lot of stretch because they are fixing to explode with flower growth and know they'll need the room! ;) Just think what a beast this Devil's Tear will be if she fills up with huge rails now!

At any rate...things are progressing nicely. I was able to get a "rez" set up this weekend complete with pump and stones, so that'll mean my aching back doesn't have to schlepp 15 gals of water a day anymore! But...things are forming up nicely. Now that the stretch is over, they can get down to the business of packing on some flowers!

Speaking of flowers, I'll leave you with a shot of the Tahoe Earthquake (aka Grape Stomper x Tahoe OG/Grape Stomper bx). She's already starting to pack on the frost, so I'm hoping she'll look like Chem's baby up there shortly!!

Thanks for dropping in folks! Again...we'll get some individual strain shots up a little further down the path. They're coming tho! I promise!! Hope everybody has a safe and blessed week! Best, -Max
Actually he's going from seed so once dialed in he will be killing it ... Been growing this way for to many years to count and never turned back here's a pic of a few of my plants grown the same way so you will get a peek of what's to come ;)It's like a jungle in there..! Can't believe how fast your plants are growing...you must have them dialed in perfect..!
Yeah they say keep it out of direct light or put a shield over it.i just hung mine in the center of the room just above where any light shines or about even with my cooltubes.heres a pic of the first one I hung, its by itself in a sea of cooltubes lol.the others are on the other side of my room divider.
View attachment 451254
i had to actually raise my tubes a bit cause they were blocking light from that gavita lol.
Nice Thread and nice set up...Spot on my friend. Im excited to see all these genetics and that Skywalker I have a pack of those Ive been itching to pop. Buddy bought them and sent them to me telling me to run em cause he like it so much.
Thanks for the show.
Well that's a bummer, as I'm not interested in crosses as much as selfs. I'll definitely keep checking in around here, good luck @Max Frost
Looking sweet my brother. Take some time and get a compass. Or bring a lunch with ya for goodness sakes! Ya might get lost! Filling in real nice is what I'm say'n bro. Real nice! Best Donny P

View attachment 451451 Green alien -green crack x alien dawgView attachment 451452 this is the blueberry i got the s1s from and one more of itView attachment 451453
Frost from the bberry is even on my fingers as ya can see View attachment 45145439days on my blues travelor- blueberry x bros grimm apollo13 all grown same way max so your in for a treat my friend oh what the hell one more for yaView attachment 451455one of eveyones favs from just a homemade blue cheese i made with the blueberry I have and the exudus cheese then hit to a plushberry male so we all call it airheads since it's super sweet and sour candy and knock out stone so the linage don't sound special but she's a good one and the sweet lovers won't let me get rid of her lol but I am looking for a good male out of them to hit to the RKS to add the old school nasties
Peace all and keep it up max between a Green thumb and a good method you will have some killer smoke and lots of it so keep it green purple blue red and what ever other colors you like in your bud LOL winters coming with some Beautiful colors but the blueberry blues all year round
This thread is all kinds of awesome :)
Doin damn good in there max, looks like your getting very nice formation on your tops. Reminds me I need new bulbs actually.
Yes the LEmango i think I forgot to add its genetics but its lemon G (Ohio clone only) being a mich fan only good thing that came out of Ohio lmao anyways it's crossed to a mango male that was some old seed given to me in the 90s and was very rotten mango fruity smelling and just stright knockout stone to the bone the male i found was Beautiful so with the lemon g it kept the lemon g smell and taste and added just a touch of more fruityness but it's def the best lemon strain ive ever had and i dont even like lemons but the smells and taste and ofcourse the potency is top notch and the flavors stick to your mouth long after smoking like a lemon heads candy sweet and sour so def the best lemon G in seed form and as of now im back crossing it aswell as the blueberry to keep them both mother dominant
sorry some people want s1s but i def feal better releasing cubed seed of clones since they will stay solid that way a lot longer for people who grow like me clone off from clone with no permanent mom plant and trust me if done with the right strain (dad) you won't even know it's been bx'ed it will be just like the mother like the blueberry now is at the point to where all females popped in my last bx were all like my mother blueberry some actually better but im def thinking of doing fems for a few since its a lot of work to cube all of my fav clones my only prob with fems is after so many years they start to lose vigor and will herm but thats when you grow clone off from clone like i do but I have a bb headband from emerald triangle and it's going on 3 years now and still looking like the first grow so shes solid so it all depends on the mom being reversed to begin with on how good there gonna stand up to time but for people just popping and running them one time or a few then fems are ok in my book for that reason like outdoors for example other then that I have cuts from the early 90s still running from clone off from clone off from clone etc etc. Lol Ya get what i mean and there exactly the same as the day I got them so anyways peace all and looking killer max
