Light and heat on the QCblues, Too close to the light as well. I grew out of space some are within 6" of the light. I have the lights at 60% now. I had to pinch a few tops off my Sour D buds because they bleached being so close but they just got wider & plumped up
No I haven't ordered from any Usa or out of country seed companies. I've been lucky with seeds lately. I've had a few members send me some new stuff. I apparently won pic of the month so they shipped me some seeds and a vertical germinating device.
Dosi dos what breeder looks nice
QCS Quebec seed store
Stay safe pipe.
Out of Vancouver.....They'd be in jail in Quebec. in Quebec 1 seed = 1 gram so a seed seller is way over the legal amount allowed in his possession.
Thanks, its been a struggle this summer but I gotter dun and the wind blew through without much of an impact....on us...others got whacked....its just a roll of the dice when she starts coming our way. We got luck again. I got a Quebec Blast trimmed for drying last night, I'd for gotten about her. She's a mini version of the Sour D I have growing still.

Yes, it just makes them gangly looking. I like the nice solid round top look rather than the spires all over them but yes after being in the bags for a while they all look the same and fit into my coffee grinder just fine.
You know looking back at this pic my Dosido never got that pretty, I'm pretty sure I was over feeding everything.
By the time mine have hit the auto pots I'm feeding them my full veg feed mix at 5/5/5 ml/per gal, I only up the bloom to 10ml at 2-3 weeks so 5/5/10/gal . Its what I've fed in Promix for years and I haven't changed in the AP's. They jumped in veg once in the pots & that gave me the thumbs up to continue as if soil. I knew I was feeding too much but I couldn't cut back while in full bloom. I could try 4/4/8 on my next run with them and see how that does I guess.
Hey, I'm in Promix and perlite with a sprinkling of Azomite, Gypsom and worm castings and clay balls on the bottom. I'd been timing my lights and feed to be at 4 weeks in flower to be at maximum feed and 100% light. Increasing every week from 60% at flip. I've recently read that 6 weeks should be my goal for the 100% feed and light to be at max so next grow I'll aim for that.
Ah I used coco-coir in there but now that I have Pro-Mix maybe I'll follow and just use it with the other stuff.
Slowly build up the intensity maybe 5% a week after flipping to be at 100% at 6 weeks in flower then backing down again at 9 & 10 weeks was something I saw on a YT video from Mr. Grow it I think it was. I'm easily swayed
Beautiful ladies
Thankyou Chita, I've finished my grow for now. I have 6 more babies just 1 week old growing. I'll be posting again when I can there's nothing much to show now. I'll continue posting with your lights highlighted as my favourite grow lights, they do a fantastic job and I'm proud to have SpiderFarmer as a sponsor.

Beautiful work man, i really like the one with the brass band before the stem.
Very cool PC!
Hey Gmorning, maybe 2 hrs start to finish, I was making 6 a day when I was in a groove. The belt sander is the time consumer, once I can get it roughed out my Foredom sleeveless sander does the rest. I start with 80 grit -120-220-320-400-600. Up to 320 grit I'm still shaping the pipe, after that its finishing with the 400 & 600. Then polishing only takes 10 minVery cool PC!
Love the grain and colours.
On a normal day I imagine you do a few in stages and finish together but how long would you say it takes to build one pipe?
2 hours is amazing. Ya you and my grandfather would have done fine sitting on the porch after dinner.
I made 2 small pipes yesterday out of Bubinga, I wasn't sure my tools could handle it being a 10.7 on the hardness scale, Briar is a bit softer at 9.3 so if I can handle 10.7 I can deal with 9.3. I ordered Olive wood before I looked at the hardness and its a 12.0, that won't be as much fun to work with. I have some Blood wood here and its a 12. something as well,,,,anyways here's my 2 today
Those 2 were made from the same piece of wood. After I cut a 7 " x 2" x 2" block I cut it in half and took it to my drill press to score my bowl rings on the top. I flipped the grain on 1 to see which way looked better, I surprised with the color difference and its just because one grain is opposite the other
I smoke cig's from 18 - 21 -1970 ish then I went to a gulf island north of Vancouver B.C for a month in the summer with a kilo of grass, home grown leafy shit by todays standards but it was all we had to smoke and it did the job, I've never smoked tobacco since, except when some dumb ass would put in a joint to share and give me the spins from it.
Hahaha lol my son just started cannabis at 23. Teaching him the dos and don’ts I showed him how some use a cigarette to take tobacco out and then fill the old shell with weed and rip off the filter.
Yes it's nice wood. I'm going to make a few smaller pieces today with it, similar to these
