Gravitron was an amusement park ride. I believe you are talking about a Phototron.

YES! Thank you. My buddy had one. Made little compact Bonsai plants. The Gravitron was also a 3 liter Faygo bottle with the bottom cut out in a bucket of water with foil as a bowl on top. That thing would get milky white pulling up out of the water.....The good ole days.

You're welcome!
They were cutting edge back in the day.
The Gravitron... I stood in line once ,didn't get on tho...something about the smell exuding from it.

The Gravitron had a reputation of the puke gift that kept giving once the first person blew.... I couldn't imagine cleaning that thing...if they ever did.

A fire hose wouldn't get that disgusting ride clean..
I think clean happened when it was brand new... after the first ride it should have been renamed the BlowHole.

How did the little bonzai's turn out? I had friends that pulled some decent smoke out of them not much of it but it definatly got you high.
The gravity bong that brings back some memories.

I think the term “popcorn” bud came from the Phototron. That’s all I remember were small popcorn morsels packed with some good flavor.

My first grow took place in the back of a friends garage in a huge cardboard box...250 HPS nothing to help with the heat no timer for the first couple weeks
I knew almost nothing about growing then.Pretty sure you all know how that turned out.
I did move the grow to my house when summer hit .... after a couple cycles and a book or 2 I actually grew some decent buds.

The Phototron! Yeah, it worked but, it would never supply my needs. Next was hydro with rockwool, drain to waste. I tried a recirc. hydro first but PH balance was beyond me at the time.
Now it's all organic living soil. This is my sweet spot!

That dude sounds like a muffin fo sho. But I've had lots of luck with Thseeds.
French Macaroon , French cookies, mk ultra, darkstar, wreckage, critical hog. Had some goodness from each of those.

Critical Hog is nice! I managed to smoke some last year and I loved it.

My first grow experience of actually harvesting a plant was ..... Blue Cheese!!!!!!!!

I got a clone of that and my Fiance got Sunshine, and we grew them outside. I had no clue wtf I was doing.... lol I gave that clone like 5 gallons of water a day and we didn't have nutrients so..... but it's Blue Cheese so it still did wonderful?

I grew that first clone out, and when it was flowering I was amazed at the size of the buds on her. I'd literally never had THAT much weed.... Sunshine was nice too but after trying Blue Cheese my girl LOVED it, so the next year we got two Blue Cheese clones, and the seeds I got from them are how I got my seedlings for this passed season.

I've grown that strain every year since and I've learned a lot since that first clone. I don't water 5 gallons a day anymore though I'm surprised that I only lost like 2 little buds to mold lol.

I have noticed that with Blue Cheese, the number of plants you have, size doesn't really matter; this passed season I waited until one of the seedlings was both female and big enough to take clones from, so they were not that big, but still produced a lot of bud. The 5 clones were all pretty short, like chest high on the biggest, and each little plant filled like two jars each.
