CG I love the Live War Coverage!



Interesting, an application of predator mites to a commercial garden!

What happens when your cutting down the bud though? Where are the mites then? Perhaps this is a stupid question, but I'm not too sure of the answer! Thanks in advance if you answer

Keep up the good work, the buds are looking heavenly!

Damn gardener, you should totally cross that purple death with the laughanis. I bet the purple would really come out. Its pretty damn purple buds already. U probably don't have a male though.

You never cease to amaze me. Nice work bud.

Where did u learn how to grow cg? Just trial n error? I know you've said you lost a few crops before.

The only thing that's held me back from breeding all these years is access to a great male. Not good. Great. Every friend I have that breeds has 1 or 2 males that are the backbone of their breeding program. I could get their pollen, but I really need my own special boy. I'm considering ordering a bunch of Dr Atomic's Northern Lights for the express purpose of finding a great male. I wouldn't mind crossing everything I have with Northern lights.

I learned mostly by book. Then, trial and error. I always tried to go big. My first books were Indoor Marijuana Horticulture, and Hydroponic Vegetable Production. The latter is the textbook for many college hydroponic courses. My first light settup was 1 - 400 watt MH and 2 - 1000 watt HPS. That was in 1992ish. In 1994 I was running 2 Sun Circles, each with 2 - 1000 watt HPS and 1 - 1000 watt MH. In 1996 I grew over 50lbs of Northern Lights#5 in a greenhouse and outdoors in my backyard. I had it all pre-sold for 4k/lb. The entire crop was stolen from my garage where it was drying. What they left on the ground was 5 lbs. Just enough to get me up to the mountains for 6 months to decompress.

Since, I've grown both for myself, in partnerships, and as a hired gun for others. The only style of growing I have not done is Guerilla.

Yeah the first book I read/bought was indoor marijuana horticulture.I love the book but so many things from that era are outdated, I'm learning. Its still a great one.

That sucks about gettin all that bud stolen. I can't even imagine that. Its like losing a family member.
 
200K gone! I am sorry for you my friend, you are truly a helpful and compassionate person. No one deserves to have their hard work disappear before their eyes due to thieves. That is what sickens me about growing (and life in general), no matter how much time and effort you put into it there is always someone who is looking for the easy way out, willing to take everything from you so they don't have to work for it.

I cannot imagine the paranoia I would have with 50lbs of weed in my garage. And the devestation at finding it gone. Holy shit.

That would probably send me into a murderous rampage. To say the least. People would not like me at all for a while after something like that. I'm actually kind of fuming just thinking about the possibility, though I never have that kind of weight to worry about in the first place...

Wow...I didn't know my rip off experience would hit everyone so hard. Truly didn't want to dredge up negative vibes. The story does have an ending: The thief was my cousin. I always suspected him, but couldn't prove it. He knew about the grow, as he was my helper and in for 10%. About a year after the "event" he bought a new condo. Another year later, he took a 100k loan out on the property (which was worth about 150k). This meant he had originally put about 100k down on the place. I had already just let it go when I found out.

Today, he's a junkie. He shot the condo up his arm. Last year at a family Christmas party he was found passed out in his car with a needle in his arm....for real. Karma works wonders if you give her a chance. Let's not get on a negative trip about this. It's the nature of growing that some day this may happen. We all knew it when we signed up. All we can do is grow the best we can, and live the best we can. Thieves are short term people, and rarely happy.

yall are bein generous or optimistic i think....5 zips max imo. cant wait to see:)
God, I hope not! LOL. A pound is optimistic. I think Wolverrine is in there at around 12. The only reason I can't guess any closer is that the bud sizes and density on the 10 gallon pots are different than the 5's. If this plant were in a 5er, I'd guess 8 oz, but the buds are much denser than the 5's. Oh well...we'll see.
