Bandit on a Safari and I'm Hunting Unicorns

I think it starts with how you envision your garden playing out and what do you want to see in the end? Large trees or small plants? Just a few or couple dozen? Is the biggest priority yield, potency, or terps?
If you want things like tree size plants, massive root balls, and tree trunks the size of your wrist then to get that you need lots of veg time.
If the only thing that matters is the parts you can smoke in the end then no veg may be for you.
No veg in a sense is like growing autoflowers except there's no rudy in there fucking with shit and 12/12 is a ton more ez on the budget then 24/7 or 18/6.

The caveat is getting yields and following the basic rule of cannabis and how it yields when I go no-veg.
Three 2' tall plants will equal the yield of one 6' tall plant is the equation.
To make up my yields from growing large plants vs small plants, the only way to do that with no veg is have more plants.
So instead of 5 large plants I try to grow 15 at half the size of the 5 and get the same yield.
Add in the factor of no veg I can grow those 15 plants in 80-100 days while the 5 large plants grow would take roughly around 150 days.
As I stack one grow on top of the other almost like a perpetual grow, I can fit in an xtra grow annually and get a record yield/bumper crop on the year or do what I plan this year and simply shut down and not grow during the most expensive part of the year when it comes to utilities.
With this past year of no veg, I've filled my coffers so much I no longer need a continual garden all year long. No veg has filled my vault with a 2 xtra lbs of weed I didn't have when I was growing large plants.
If I was selling my weed, no veg would have me getting record profits this year.
I could rattle off a few more reasons why I prefer no-veg but again it goes back to what you want out of your garden and what will be best for your operations. No veg is definitely not for everybody.

Here's a thread about no-veg and a good link embedded in it for more info. I was early into my discovery of it in this thread but today I'm dialed in on it



Finally something new on tv I can get into!!!;hd

I'm also looking forward to the King of the Hill reboot coming soon to Hulu. That was my favorite show for so long until that dumb ass Cleveland Show took it's spot cancelling it. Another dipshit move by Fox because The Cleveland Show only lasted 4 seasons and flopped out

Redbull used to have one of their Flutag events here in the Summer but not sure why it's not a thing anymore

I'm trying the no veg route with the "HPA" research

The Dutch have had it mastered since the mid-80s😉
American growers ran it over here based off the GH Aeroflo system but DIY built with 6" PVC or closed square gutter tubes.
Thru the 90s up until maybe around 2011-13 they were used and built by a lot of growers.
DWC and especially RDWC allowed for larger plants so the trend in the US move towards that about 10 years ago so you rarely see aero channels used anymore.
But about 15 years ago...nothing could grow as fast or produce as well as these systems for a period then the rest of the gardening world finally caught up. Not much can compare to aero so you're in for a treat especially if you like high maintenance systems

I've been meaning to ask you before I submit a points adjustment request....
Was there a check-in for the Clash and or the Duels at Daytona races?
Rewards was working super glitchy for me with the Clash and a check in box never showed that night on the app then it wasn't until the actual Daytona truck race that I realized it was hiding the check in box but if I clicked race highlights then back to leaderboard, the box would show.
By my count I'm missing a Cup check in and I think it's the Clash because I've hit every one other than that and not having it will kill my 500 points grab for a perfect season bonus.

I'd go ceramic over the metals, for carts.
You guys put me down a crazy rabbit hole...
If it were as simple as just ceramic, but it's not I found out.

You got a bunch of ceramic options, post or postless, aperture size, electrical resistance, wick material, etc.... certain ones are better for rosin and some for distillate, options options options

Ahhhh!!!

I got some coming from pckt.

Now, do I want to add terpenes or not is the next one. And thats an even bigger rabbit hole about how they are sourced, etc....

But I hope these work out, I got tired of looking and lookingScreenshot_20250430-113151.pngScreenshot_20250430-113144.png

Yeah...the, no veg deal i used to win those beans. I just waited long enough for 5 nods, and with your 315 cmh/LED, unit. I just left it in a 1gl and pumped the nutes.
I want to be a little more hands on, getting back to the good stuff....

So your cannin up what 14-20days or are they in there homes?

I'm gonna do some stuff. I really don't have any interest tending 1gls...
So off i go...✌️

Cheers to kicking old bad habits and picking up new ones!
I think the key to quitting a bad habit or making a life change isn't just quitting but filling the void with something better or at least distracting.

A new and safe hobby helps.
Like yesterday after sweeping the Ags in hardball and securing #1 or #2 overall seed for playoffs and the weekend finally being the end of a grueling Spring football season in the past woulda had me going on a bender with bourbon, margaritas, and probably a big fat steak off the grill. Even getting the party started at work with coworkers and driving home buzzed up.

Instead while they popped cold ones, I turned some laps with the RC car, hit my cart, then went home and watched the Cup race and smoked some more. Wife made vegan and turkey meat tacos and I got to taste what plant based sour cream is like. Didn't think about booze at all or getting more wasted than what weed and just being happy the Spring grind is winding down could deliver.
One thing that helps with food is the search and discovery of new flavors. Like I've had a billion cheeseburgers in life and know what a burger is about. Now I seek out other types of burgers not using beef and they're often good or better so I don't even crave things like burgers either.
All that being said, if and when I drop down to 220 some things like slow smoked BBQ and frosty margs on the beach will make a come back in life heavily moderated to be rare treats.


You and yours are gonna love them kicks bro! Folks might call you a city boy around your parts but your dawgs will be so happy you won't give AF!!! My wife loves every pair of Nikes I've got her and I'm sure yours will too especially when they're girlied up like that!

I like the Raiders draft a lot. No Horns or Nittany Lions though but maybe next year or we'll see later when cuts and trades are made.
We set the team record for players sent to the league this year. We'll have 1-2 more 1st rounders next year then '27 will probably see Arch Manning in the draft and that will pretty much be an earthquake changing the dynamics for a lot of teams on how they draft or trade etc in the off season.


Now that Spring is winding down and I'll be getting some more free time then finally Summer vaycay I'm starting to catch up on some things.
Got the 3D printer rolling again. Fixed up the flood and drain with the big rez.
And got the tomatoes in....

That's one of my old aquaponics tubs filled with used weed growing dirts and stuff + 2 Earthboxes.
Found some garden fence at the recycle dump to surround the tub to keep the dogs out then inside then fence lay down critter ridder and cayenne pepper to deter squirrels. Will also let that grass grow tall inside the fence since squirrels hate tall grass. Might even put a fake snake down in there to justify their fear of tall grass.
Another slightly more diabolical deterrence if those dont work...3D print fake tomatoes, coat them in Tanglefoot, then roll in cayenne pepper. Yeah FAFO and bite that fuckers!!!
Once I get them melon patch going do the same thing...print fake melons and coat them with hot pepper then surround the real melons with ground pepper rings
Showing off your plants the other day. Wife saw part of a dinosaur. She asked what it was. I said he’s in Texas, lots of dinosaurs down there.

She wasn’t amused. 🤣

good choice man, pckt makes great carts!!! i've used every one of their models so far. they all perform well!!

i like the orange ones the best just because of ease of filling, they have a unique donut seal and they don't use o-rings. i've filled these up well over twenty times now and the seal has never broke.

Stoney has sent me that brand and they're the best I've used.
I've also been meaning to check out a vape supply wholesaler here and see what they have in regards to empty disposable vapes I can fill myself.

Yeah...the, no veg deal i used to win those beans. I just waited long enough for 5 nods, and with your 315 cmh/LED, unit. I just left it in a 1gl and pumped the nutes.

Yeah I upcan once.
I start in small container like these bags and airpots that hold maybe a quart to 1/2 gallon of soil then upcan into anything from 3 to 5 gallons in a 5 gallon container but not necessarily filled with 5 gallons of dirt. Everything is measure mostly by a plant by plant basis here so one may only flower in 2 gallon and another 4 but they're all in a 5 gallon container.

The NFL draft was last weekend and the room our QB had a watch party in went viral

Opinions varied across the spectrum but not many focused on what was up in the top right hand corner of the shot nearly out of frame.
So yeah...You can tell your wife see, I was right!

Congrats buddy! Now you're gonna see a points bump on everything.
That 10 for trivia will be 11 now and I think you'll get 55 for every check in. When you get to champ it goes to 13 and 63 then every bonus bump also comes with more points for the tier you're in.
And did you see they have a Spring sale on tix this season? 2000 points for race tix right now!!!

You put any terps in them?

I've used cannabis derived terps if you're not up to some of the flavors and wanna keep it close to natural flavored
