The top at the left that is higher than the rest is the one I snapped. Can't tie it down as I have taped it up and I'm waiting for it to heal. Maybe take a week to heal? Not sure.

Yeah something like that (I read up to 2 weeks when reading around about supercropping)... so no way you can bend it over above the injury? Actually I'd say the scrog could be your friend in this situation, as it could gently guide the branch's growth whilst stabilizing it.

edit: Oops lol seems you've already decided haha :fire:

Unfortunately not no, its snapped right on the V where it was first topped. Trying to tie it down just causes it to split at the bottom! Its a shame cos I really wanted to give SCROG a go, oh well theres always next time! 8)

I just read through this entire thread and yup, DWC for me. Looking forward to this coming year now for sure. I can get some AK47 and Chernobyl seeds, crossing my fingers that theres a Red Cherry pheno in the AK seeds (:

And I've got to say I am incredibly impressed with that setup!

my dad was a police officer and used, so did most of my family,, i tried it first at a young age,, probably like ten i was in 7th grade and i really liked how it felt..by the time i was in high school my family all new i used and they were not happy but excepted it.. i only smoked weed till just a few years ago, now i make butter w/ it also and make bubble hash..i started growing in my dads back yard wile still in high school then moved it into my bed room closet,,he was really cool about it, but to this day ive never smoked with him..i grew for a long time once i bought my own house, built a grow room in my garage and sold the weed for profit and because it was much cheaper than buying it for myself and better quality..i married and moved to MI IN 2011 and just to keep my family safe i became a legal care giver,, i didnt really like growing illegally after i was married, i mean i dont care what happens to me, but i want my wife n son safe, so legal was a better fit..pluss i like improving the quality of life for others if i can..but i also found being a care giver is much more stressfull than growing to sell, u build relationships and lose people its very hard as they become way more than friends,,like family so loss becomes a big part of a care givers life and its very sad,,never thought growing legally would be harder than illegally growing and selling,, and legally there is very little to no profit so if u dont love growing and helping others,,your best off growing illegally and putting money away for a lawyer if anything should happen..wen i was growing illegally i had a lawyer w/ a deposit if needed as i was pulling in around $4000.00 every 8 weeks off just a 4x4 ebb n flow table..so i would put a bit aside just in case..,grow well n be well to all

Hey Stick, great questions.

1. I first smoked cannabis when I was aboooout 16 years old. I remember that the first time it didn't actually hit me, but I definitely wasn't sober. Only after the next joint was a high and a fucking kite.

2. I don't really know, I'm pretty sure it was one of those "oh my friends are smoking so I want to as well" type of decisions.

3. Joints all the way man. :D I absolutely HATE smoking in a rush. For me it's a time to unwind and do what the hell I want, so I always like to sit in a place I consider safe with a joint in my hand. I never liked using pipes, they make me feel as I'm smoking crack or something like that, although pipes and bongs allow me to actually appreciate the taste of pure cannabis. Without the tobacco and such. Bongs are somewhat exciting as well, maybe because I always use them when it's some type of special occasion, be it Christmas or a birthday. But I'm a lazy bastard by nature, so I hate cleaning up after using them.

4. About a year ago was the beggining of my really rough life (that still continues today) and I started to unfortunately abuse the stuff. Used to smoke it every day during the holidays and during school every other weekend. Since I'm very sensitive to all types of substances known to me like caffeine, cigarettes and cannabis, it was starting to affect me in the wrong sense. After I realised that I've starting to cross that dangerous line I quit. Knowadays I smoke once a month and I'm really content with that. :D Can't say I despise the stuff.

5. At first I wanted to grow because of the fact that it was something completely bizzare to me. I always liked working with my mum in the garden, so I thought to myself, why the hell not? Cannabis seemed very mysterious to me, being illegal and what not. So I started like a true n00b, buying that one 25W 6500k cfl, growing without any reflecting materials with just that bulb hovering up above the seedling. That all resulted in complete fuck ups, so I got furious and just tried my luck outdoors. After three months it was a result as I got about 15g of Lemon Haze, wow was I proud. :D Of course there was no type of LST and general knowledge in my doings, and I had to fight with bud rot. Lost about 50% of my plant. After that I came across sites like Grasscity, 420 magazine and eventually settled down in Roll It Up. :D After I saw the sheer amount of people dedicated to growing, the different techniques, methods and opinions I just got completely lost in fascination.

Now I grow for myself, because it really gives me something to do and I feel like it's the best hobby I ever had/will ever have. :D Growing also helps me with my anxiety disorder, gives me a sense of pride and acomplishment, even if my indoor grows are still proper shite. :D I would love to one day move to a country were growing is legal and join some kind of Anonymous Growers club haha. :D
I only sold cannabis two times in my life, just to be able to recompansate the dosh spent of bulbs and equipment, but I hated it. Stress and adrenaline are one of the worst combinations for me, so I never went back. The flowers I don't smoke myself are given to my one friend, lucky bastard he is.

What about you Stick?

Ahhh, sophomore year in a baseball dugout... I had forgotten I had tennis practice that day, the first of the season. Naturally I didn't realize it until the coach and team walked past to get to the courts. I didn't even have my racket haha, the coach was completely chill though, didn't smoke again for about a month after on 420, that was the first time I was actually baked.

I think I wanted to smoke pot simply because it's in my genes. I remember a time when 7 yeear old me was snooping in my older brothers shit and I caught a little more than a hint of a whiff, and despite not even know what exactly pot was, I knew it was pot lol. My parents were total hippies and I even recall my mother saying to me, I'd rather you smoke pot than drink alcohol. Big mistake!!! Ahaha green light indeed.

I prefer bong rips, something about being able to see the smoke as I inhale/

I don't really smoke much these days, mostly because of cost/job applications/drug testing. But I will always be a marijuana smoker.

I'd like to hook myself up, and all of my friends with quality herb that's only been passed through one set of hands. And if the herb happens to be superb in comparison to anything else available, well that was the plan all along.

Still not sure the first time I smoked pot (I was told it's that) on my senior trip it was really pot!
I will never forget how the sand on that beach felt like it was up to my knees and the ground was sometimes upside down (like walking the ceiling) as we (tried lol) to walk back to the hotel - retrospectively, the buzz that night was more like LSD :shock: lol

I began smoking more regularly while writing my thesis for uni - I was writing about how The Life and Times of Tristram Shandy is stylistically very similar to postmodern literature and explaining why that was so - really helped me think outside the box, which was at the very center of that thesis :-P
After my kids were born, I had a time where I would call my consumption medical - it helped me slow down and be more in the moment with them, and to be patient and understanding, not worrying about my "grown-up" stuff so much ;)
From there, I moved to a supply-based regularity - i.e., is there something in the house? smoke it! :bigjoint:
Which is more or less where I've stayed, with a 3 year break after my sister died - I stopped then because smoking tended to pull me down in that time.

Nowadays, I mostly smoke "homeopathically" (there's like 0.1g in my joints, which my son likes to make fun of haha), mostly in the evenings, or in summer out on a mountain, as it helps me unwind and be in the moment, ahhhh :P
I can be both active and couched on the same weed, depending on my focus - something I've just recently noticed: when I light up and think of what I want to focus on with that smoke, I really do get focused on that, whereas if I just smoke without any intent, I get woozy, chaotic, and lose track of what I was wanting to get done.
I do also enjoy smoking with friends, which I have taken up again recently. But I'd say my first use of weed is to assist me with balance. I'm a burnout type, and I've gone all the way blowing my fuses haha -- not going there again! ;)

My first motivation to get growing indoors was supply - I was sick of having to buy off people I didn't want to be buying off for lack of other contacts. Also, when I started reading about cannabis cultivation, beginning with the strains, to setup, to growing techniques, to harvesting, to curing -- so much variety! so much to discover and try out! I was fascinated, and that, in the end got me going. Grow my own supply and some extra to sell to friends to cover my costs is all I will ever aim for :mrgreen:

What about you @TheStickMan ?
Haha if you're out of town working this week you have a nice weekend of reading in store for yourself :P
