well, so far a couple plants are still producing pods! and the rest are still growing and my seedlings are plugging away for being outside here in San Diego.

Devils tongue red has 10+pods on in now blooms still coming in

Brain strain DWC

Douglah DWC

Choc Bhut, still waiting on my fist pod

Choc hab i pruned its roots and re potted it so hopefully it takes off once it warms up a little.

here is my mystery plant, gotten 30pods so far and more coming

here are the seedlings, carmen, 7pot white, fatalii, choc scorp, choc hab X Red hab, naga morich.

i will update from time to time hopefully this will be pics of tons of pods come spring time!

was there some smoother ones already harvested from these?

that now it is time to run amok

Hey, spongey! Nice work getting the new camera under control!
Your plants look great. I don't know what makes the overwinter
plants seem so cool, but yours look great really gnarly and bushy!
The seedlings look pretty cool, too!

Where did you buy your set up?

 

[Guillo1]

Where did you buy your set up?

I'd recommend you make one yourself. Buy a 5 gal bucket from HD or Lowes and you buy a lid with a net pot built in. Then you buy an air pump and a couple airstones from wal-mart and your set. You will also need some rockwool cubes, hydroton pellets and some nutes and your all set.

 

[spongey600]

^^^what he said, i bought mine at hydro store butthey are easy to make, i got a super deal by trading seeds for discount. also if you are going to get serious the cheap airstones can clog. i bought some micro pore stones and they can be cleaned and put out lots more air in smaller bubbles and i can def see a difference between the more oxegenated plants. but they are pricey

That brain is gonna be like a cluster bomb when all those flowers follow through. The nice white roots are gonna help too-you are gonna have a poster child!

 

[P.K.]

Awesome plants, hope mine look half as good. I was wondering how your DWC was doing outside in the heat and sun, but I noticed in your last couple (3) set of pics that you wrapped the buckets with white plastic, I’m assuming to reflect the sun and heat. How is that working to control the temp, or are you using something in combination with that? After last year, with my 3 T. Scorp’s that produced a whole whopping 20 some pods, I was going to try both DWC and EBB & Flood outside and temp is my biggest concern.

 

[spongey600]

PK, the white plastic has done wonders with lowering the temps! i have tons of new healthy roots popping out.

well as promised here are a few pics of the twins hope they stick around to become full sized pods.

and a few pictures of new pods growing in

Man that camera is insane Eric. Amazing pics bro!!!!

 

[3/5King]

Looks amazing Spongey. Man Im taking pics left and right with my s95 point n shoot. If I had an slr like that Id never put it down.


Oh by the way..that pic of the devils tongue........it didnt make the cut for my starts...but youve went and made me drop some seeds.....bastard...lol

 

[gnslngr]

liking that cam bro... and 3/5 if you look at the Devil's Tongue Brown, you can end up with red ,yellow and brown pods

 

[dvdpfstr]

What kind of camera?

 

[spongey600]

Nikon D3100 with jut the standard 18-55mm lens on the auto macro setting till i get the hang of full manual mode which i am working on now. its fun stuff!

 

[spongey600]
