Snow???? No!!!.....its too early to hear that word, its just October. I shiver in anticipation of it coming our way. I keep my car idling at Tim's every chance I get, just to do all I can in the global warming movement.

Harvest Day!
This was a good one, It got me back on track, I think.
The Athena nutes made life easy for me to concentrate on any problems with focus.
I will add the PK to my nutes next time, it's a bloom supplement, other than that, they worked perfectly for me.

I ended up with 4oz of bud. I think that is pretty good for the rocky start the plant had.
The final product looks really good.
I'm happy with this grow and am looking forward to the next much larger grow with Athema nutes.
I never had such ease of growing in the Auto Pots.
No problems with dirty nute water, films or clogged filters.
Never had to clean out the tank but did wash out the tank filter 2 times, for the heck of it.
I did adjust the light height a couple of times but kept it at 100%. (MarsHydro TS1000 240w)
I used the Spider Farmer Glow30 supplimental side lights (30w), Glow80 Deep Red Spectrum (80w)
and UV 45" lights (30w) for this grow. UV's were used the last 3 weeks, Reds used all the way through.
I do think they helped but not sure how much, the buds came out beautiful and lots of em.
Buds were large all the way down, I have no popcorn to speak of.
Good terp coverage as well.
I might change some lighting next time and only use the Reds and UV's the last 4 weeks of flower.
And would definetly do something to kill the bugs in the Coco Coir befor planting.
I made a mistake of over nuteing it by putting to much bloom and not following directions lol well
I have problems with following directions, that's why my wife yells at me hahaha.
The plant was so heavy with moist tight buds I got worried about mold and used 2 occilating fans in
the hanging room and dried them out a lil too fast - 7 days.
Curing now in grow bags with Moiscon RH 62% humi control pack in there.

Wife Update: She doing well, called me last night and sounded real good.
She might get a room today so then she will have a phone.
But they might keep her another day where she's at (Observation Room)
till they release her. I'm hoping to find out more today.

Is that Ghost getting comfortable? Looks a bit like our boy Dusk hes the smallest of our 3 and a lot of fun. I'm glad to hear your wife is mending up okay. Still a weeks hospital stay shows the severity of the injury and there's going to be long recovery time. I aches thinking about going through something like that at our age now.

You got the whole 9 yards with lighting eh? lol. I like the far reds but they are tricky to use. I've tried a variety of ways with them and this last run I only used in Veg up until flip for 15 min after lights out and they stretched so much I had to shut them down and I still grew out past my lights, multiple times.

I think the reds really help expand the leaves and stalk but when and how long to use them for is tricky to figure out. The same in flower, I've tried different timing with 15 min after lights out in flower to help extend the lights on time to shorten flower days. Not sure it helped much to shorten but they did mature well.

Talking about this I may add one into my veg tent with my new sprouts. Ya I have a far red puck just the right size...lol ....its going in for 15 min at lights out with my 10 day old sprouts that are thriving now.

Glad to hear that your wife is on the right track. Hope she gets home soon and heals faster than expected.

Your cat overlord seems pleased with harvest. Looks great!

Nope that's Shady , Ghost is hard to get a pic of, she disappears fast.

I looked on the SF site and it said to use the Red's the same as regular lights 12/12.
So that's what I did. I like the idea of useing them during veg but don't think I would cause of the height of my room.
Maybe the first few weeks to give them a bump.
I think my side lights worked good as far as the lower buds look, the size/amount of them.

 

[OLDCRO]

Harvested 3 Auto cinderella 99 thats all i could do cannatrol full. Lots of big buds and colas three colas weighted in at 11.7 ounces

 

[Kuwl]

Wifey's Home!!
They let her come home today 3pm
She got a P-bag and an Oxygen tank with her but she climbed the stairs to
her room without much help, I carried the 20lb oxygen tank but she did it.
Bruised and in discomfort but the main thing is she's home.
Thanks guys for your support when my mind turned to jello.

Now I got this outside plant that I'm not sure where it's at in flower.
The flowers did firm up but not seeing those colas like I'm used to seeing.
I took some pic's today maybe you can tell.
Either I'll chop this weekend or wait for further development.
I think the tri's look cloudy and might harvest early if it don't progress any further.
Ever since I sprayed with the vinegar/water solution they were not happy bout that and leaves drooped as a result.

Not sure when I'll start another grow.
I will be taking care of wifey for a bit.
And there's this..... I got a lot of unsmoked pretty good weed and a good selection too!
The treasure chest to the left has bout half a poiund of cured in there.
Never thought I would be so rich, thx Bud Builders!

 

[steamroller]

Good deal she is home.
Love a stash that has variety.

 

[Kuwl]

Harvested the Green House plant Fruity Pebbles 2.0 last Friday.
Been busy, still am but thought I'd check in.
It's in the drying room now and slowly drying up but I think another week should do it.
Lotta junk leaves hanging on this plant, too much and not time to thin it out.
Buds look smallish but we'll see after it dries and I can clean it up to see what I got.

Linda's doing as good as it gets for what happened to her.
Lot's of Dr. appointments and finding out about paper work, lawyers and NY State laws.
But she is doing much much better, so there's that.

I gotta get going so here's a pic she took of me and a couple of pic's of Ghost.
She getting braver and braver and stands her ground with Sky.
When I look at the pic's on my iphone it names the animal's breed in the info and it says Ghost is a Siberian cat!
I'm getting her hooked on Treats, lmao.

 

[Pipecarver]

Its great to hear your wifes home and on the mend, Hard to think straight when they are hurting. I hope it means a good cash settlement afterwards., maybe a bonus trip somewhere exotic when its all done. Hawaii? Cancun? Vegas? I'd be planning an escape for a few days anyways. Ah shit then there's our pets to worry about. It was easier when I was young without responsibilities to look after.

My cats love me cause I'm the treat guy, they come running and get to their treat spots as I come in the house. Dusky gets all happy feet when I pull the bag out for him to sniff before I give him the treats

 

[BlueCollarBob]

It's good to hear that you wife is healing. I don't envy you guys having to learn all the medical and legal stuff. It stinks that we have to become experts in medicine and law at the same time we're trying to recover and adjust to some recent tragedy.

Hope Fruity Pebbles smokes good. Ghost is beautiful.

Fruity Pebbles 2.0 (Green House re-veg Grow)
Cleaned and in the bag for curing.
This was the hardest clean up I ever did.
4 days of hours by pain in the butt hours, my eyes are killin' me.
It was like pealing grapes, the leaves were so wrapped around the buds.

I ended up with 80g's or 2.8oz's
Add that to the 4oz I got from the C99 plant and it's almost 7 ounces.
I smoked a bit from some buds I took and dried and put in cure bag a week ago.
Not bad and better than expected.
Smell is fruity an strong with a lil fuelyness to it.

Taking the winter off, I need a break and need to care for wifey for awhile
till she gets back on her feet.
Not sure how we are going to do it with no car and settlement, months to years away.
One day at a time is all we can do but will have to cut expenses to save for a car.
My light bill has to come down for sure.
Anyway this should tide me over for along time with the stash I already have.

Cats play hard at night and sleep all day since Ghost came on board.
That kitty has fired up my two older (3yrs) cats.
They play slide the chair with great glee.
One of then will run full speed and jump on the chair to make it move and slide across the floor.
They do this over and over! Like a bunch of kids.
Another thing is Ghost eats ALOT! I think she's going to be a big cat.'

Pic's of the cabbage

 

[Kuwl]

Been awhile
I'm chillin' and taking care of business.
Taking good care of her and everything is fine here.
I'm bored tho and achin' to get back into it.
But cannot do that right now.

That don't stop me from planning it.
Black Friday was my chance. Oooooh I'm feeling weak.
Like the Godfather, it's an offer I can't refuse.
Sooooo I did it!
Brought a new light and some other goodies!
My old FC4800 works great and I was thinking of retiring it to a back up, if ever needed.
Which I do not really have atm.

1st I went to SF, they offered a discount of 8% off a nice light (SF7000 650w) with controller and free grinder for $509 -8%
I added on a 4 tier plant stand $107 + $509 = $616 - 8% = $566 + the light came with a controller in the pkg. deal.
I thought great deal and proceeded to checkout.
Not to be.....After much hassle because they blocked the extra 8% by putting in another discount of .05 cents
and they would not remove it.
Not to happy at that point (understatement) and went looking at MarsHydro.
Found a light there WoW!
MH Smart Dimmable FC-E8000 BridgeLux 800w Led Grow Light
with Smart Eviromental Control Sys Monitor Temp, Hummi, Co2, PPFD ($134.99)
I added on a 6" clip fan ($39.99) and Iconnect smart controller ($8.99) (I didn't know one came with it so now have 2 of em)
Total $599.36 - $30 discount = $569.96
All discounts went thru and they also sent me a gift pkg. of a 4 layer Mesh Herb Drying rack w/ prunning sheer (22.99).
I was really happy about that buying experience. Then I seen those IR lights I don't have.
I have the Deep Reds and UV's so why not? lol
They were on sale of course! $63.99 at the time but noticed I have points to use 28000 or something like that.
That took $28 off and I got the IR30's for $35.99 a good deal, I brought them too.
Now that FC8000 EVO light will do sunrise and sunset and be controlled by an app on my iphone too.


I don't think I will use Co2 tho, at least not yet. This light is BIG, much larger than my old 4800. (I think it's 44"x45")

Some kitty cat pic's over the last month. Ghost is getting bigger and less scared of me.
She likes chicken and I feed her a few peices every night after Sky n wifey go to bed, Ghost hops up on the seat
next to mine and waits for chicken hahaha. But still won't let me pet or touch. Like MC Hammer "Can't touch this"
But will come back to me for another piece of that chicken.
Now when I open the front window curtains, she jumps up and lays there looking out.
Lil bit by lil bit. I figure when she out grows out of the kitten stage, she will pacify.
Panda always acting cute. Panda and Shady looking out the my bathroom window at the birds pecking the wild berries on that vine.



Not sure when I will start the next grow but thinking on 2 strains and 8 plants total w/ Two 4 pot AP Systems.
I also brought the SF AP system ( it has only one valve for the Four 5 gal. cloth pots and might use it )

I love it, lol.. Black Friday gotta haver mode...I bought a scrollsaw, and 3 fans for the price of 2 from Mars now I have 2 sitting in their box taking up space. I looked at new lights too but my tents are full of lights, I looked at the UV Blues but didn't bite, I was close but...

I'm so loaded up electrically I'm afraid another watt or 2 will blow a fuse. Each time I plug something in I wait for a few sec before I'm sure it will hold. My 1250Watt heater takes up too much of my free amperage. I have it on the 750Watt mode but its still a lot on 15 amp fuses with 900w in lights,fans,humidifier split on 2 circuits Then there's the Dehue I split with my veg tent on another. When I plug my wet-vac in shes close to maxed out.

I need a full service change, If you have a few 15 Grand extra kicking around...lol..... Elon, Elon...ELON... I may have to try him at home....lol
I'm being bugged about getting a heat pump, we can get them free ( because we qualify as poor seniors in our old home) but there's not a watt to spare and we'd need more than 1 in our odd shaped home.The Elect upgrade would cost more than the heat pump so I don't think we qualify for that & a pump

 

[MDK]

Glad everything seems to be on the up and up with ya Kuwl. Pipe and Zen are what the youngsters would call real ones... true pals.

That new lights going to be super sweet man!

Crap my box is probably illegal with the extra stuff I added to it.
Last I heard it would be $3500 to change it out, but that was 20 yrs ago haha.
I got a guy that would do it for less but I'm kinda shy on that route.

I brought a new 6" exhaust fan to replace the one the broke and they did the same thing, blocked my discount.
I don't know what's going on with them but it seems I'm on a black list.
I think after all the discounts from MH I got my 800w light for $400, now that's what I call a deal.
800w is alot compared to the 480w light I have used. I also had 2 140w lights on at the time for side lights.
I usually do not use full power. When I did, I usually get seeds, almost every time.
I have to go by LUX reading and try to use a high of 65k 75k but no higher.
And I have a problem of not knowing the proper height, so I vary from 12" to 16" depending on the overall height of the canopy.
I really brought this light to modern up my grow room and for the distribution of light to the outside edges of the canopy.
Last time I did 8 plants it was a problem getting them all into the best light.
I'm hopin' this light will heat up the room so I don't have to use my oil heater to much.
This light does not fit in between the beam and furnace pipes, where the FC4800 did, so it's about 4-6" lower
But It's size covers a much larger area!

Ya they are trying to force heat pumps on us here in NY.
I won't get one ever. I heard they are not good for really cold weather and use tons of electricity.
I had oil when I moved here and it was a nasty way to heat the house.
It broke and the landlord put in a gas furnace.
Loved it and after we brought the house + 10yrs or so, it broke.
We brought a new one and hope it lasts forever haha.
Cheapest way to heat by far, at least it is here.
I would like to buy one of those water heaters that give you endless hot water on demand.
Maybe some day.

I'm gearing up for a run but in no hurry cause there is so much to do on this property aka "The Ranch"
I'm really strong on LSD, it's been my go to smoke so far. That's one strain I want more of.
Not sure of the other yet. Might even buy one. My seeds are getting old.
I need a smoke, later gater.

They're trying to push us onto 1 power source, ELECTRIC..but we and many others don't have the capacity to do that. Our last oil bill was $550, it'll last 6 weeks the next will be close to same but the Jan/Feb/March cold months it'll go to $700/6 week and we run about $400 electric, with my lights, heaters, Chiller ( off now)....We get notices from some Efficiency group telling us we're double our neighbours in similar sized homes and ways to cut back on usage....lol.....we'd be all same without my grow....Nosy bastards!

They're trying to push us onto 1 power source, ELECTRIC..but we and many others don't have the capacity to do that. Our last oil bill was $550, it'll last 6 weeks the next will be close to same but the Jan/Feb/March cold months it'll go to $700/6 week and we run about $400 electric, with my lights, heaters, Chiller ( off now)....We get notices from some Efficiency group telling us we're double our neighbours in similar sized homes and ways to cut back on usage....lol.....we'd be all same without my grow....Nosy bastards!

They do the same with me, in my mail, telling me I'm using twice what my nieghbors use and how to use those special light bulbs haha same everywhere I guess it's in the water. But wow that's higher than what I pay! Mine is on a budget plan and every month it's about $150 with my lights on $195.
I want to grow one 8 plant crop a year, hopefully a successful one.
Very cold here this week, I have to kick the frozen dog poop to loosen it from the frozen ground to scoop it up.

This last week my wife told me Bell left a message when I was sick in bed.

She called back to find out what they wanted. Turns out after putting in a new ground wire to our box three years ago they now want to switch us over to fibre.

They threatened to cut our service otherwise. Same number and customer for over 25 years. She told the snooty bitch on the phone NO.

We don’t need it or want it. We just have a land line, no internet, no devices. If you have an old phone you will still have power in a blackout as the old system has its own battery power in each station/building. (Although I’m sure they are/have been pulling away from this model.)

She’s ticked off enough after her conversation with the Bell representative that she wants to go somewhere else. But there really aren’t many choices these days with Rogers and Bell either smothering competition or making deals with them about who gets what areas to do business in. (Ya, that happens here.)

We’d cancel the phone all together but it’s handy, usually works, and doesn’t need charging. Plus we have an old all across North America free long distance package. Most of our remaining family is across the country now.

Merry Christmas to everyone here and Happy New Year with all the best to come. ​

Every night I settle down and smoke one or two with a beer or two and a shot of vodka.
It's my routine and I enjoy this time watching tv shows that I like.
Well, I started to notice my roaches started to disapear in the morning when I looked.
I figured, maybe I put it somewhere else.
Nope!
I put one down last night and it disappeared.
Lite another and shortly after it disappeared.
WTF I ain't that high yet!
I found a short one and put it in my ash tray and watched out the corner of my eye.
Ah Ha!! Ghost, the lil bugger started to sneak up, real stealthy like, and proceeded to snatch that roach out of the ash tray.
Dam, she is a thief !! I could not find where she takes them tho.
Someday I'm going to find a large stash. hahaha So far about 5 are missing.
I took some incriminating pic's to prove it in a court of law
She's guilty as heck!
Damndest thing I ever seen how she is relentlessly persues my joints.
I chase her away and scold her and she goes and lays down on the rug and looks at me.
When I am not paying attention she creeps up to steel it.
1st pis shows joint in the silver tray, seconds later in the 2nd pic, the joints gone!

Then I caught her red handed or pawed
Stealthy

Sneakin'

Ghost Strike and it's gone

Ghost Happy

Playing with a new toy

Never found where she put them tho.
But now I got them in a box so she can't get them I hope! Still she is bold and takes them our from under my nose, cause she knows I'm high haha.

Happy Holidays ya all

Merry Christmas to you too Kuwl!
One of my cats does this too.
I found her stash one day in her amazon box. A new box arrived and figured she might like a fresh one to claw into and tear up since hers was looking on the raggedy side. She used it kinda like a garage with the opening on the side and she would crawl in and sleep or play.
I picked it up and heard stuff rattling around inside so I turned it upside down and dumped it.
Roaches, a dab tool, a petrified lizard corpse, bread ties, bottle caps, and a lighter fell out.
