Precisely dude... thanks ffor the info, I will step it up!
You are welcome brotha, first time I grew it I was like wtf is going on here. Then I ran it a few times and I figured it out and now she's no match for my soil ;)

I mean what do you expect from something that originally takes 1/2 a year to flower that is taken down to 7-8 weeks.

If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask, it's what I'm here for.

If you send me your email you can email me if you're ever in a bind, emails get sent right to my phone, get them quicker

Hey man, yeah, it makes a lot of sense that they might just be super hungry... as I said above the buds are swelling like crazy on the one that yellowed the most. So I gotta see what I can do. I'm thinking a heavy top dress in addition to stepping up the tea regimen a bit more... between the two hopefully I can get her in line...

Definitely appreciate the info... didn't even think to ask you bout the C99's, I completely forgot you recommended them!

You nailed it bro, my memory is not what it used to be ;)
lol mine isn't on certain things that's for sure haha. But for the most part it's pretty damn good. It's because I constantly do brain exercises and shit lol.

The more I think about it the more I realize I'm such a weird fucker lol

I played around with that new site that was buzzin' with brain exercise games, lumosity.com... but after the three day trial they wanted money, so i went back to being stupid. ;)

Edit: No but seriously... my memory is great when I'm not high, but it is shit when I am, heh. And I go months on end sometimes without breaks, during which sometimes stuff does slip on me, haha. No offense meant. ;)

Just finished reading your thread so far. The mainlining looks perfect! You should have seen me in my chair yelling at the screen "check your pH meter!" hehe I had the same issue with my meter.

This is why the people who have been growing so long are so much better. They have already been through all of this BS.

Dry ice is fun but it makes a a sticky mess because the trichrome dust gets everywhere! The finished product is awesome though and you are finished very quickly.

Dry Ice Hash with 220 micron wash bag:




Do your Air Pots dry out more quickly? I wonder if that is why the 5 gal bucket is doing better. My 7 gallon smart pot outside is growing a big tomato plant and it gets dry very fast if I do not keep on top of it. It doesn't help that it is black.






That is all I can remember - oh - the little auto girl is a trip! She just keeps getting better. It is like you are just growing a bud :)



Cheers,
Mo

Hey man, thanks for reading up! LOL'd @ the yelling at the screen bit.. haha.

Yeah, it might be that the bags dry out faster... but it's not like I wait until everything but the bucket is limp before watering or anything like that... if anything I would think that the bucket would suffer a bit if that were the case, because it would be getting watered a little too early perhaps, and never quite drying out all the way!

Then again, my oscillating fan died so i started using a box fan and it probably hits the pots more, which may be sucking them dry a little faster. It might also be chance that the raspberry in the bucket was a better pheno from seed... hard to say!

But one thing's for sure, I'm definitely not convinced smart pots are better, per se... comparable, but not necessarily better than a bucket with a bunch of holes drilled in it. Then again, I'm absolutely sure there is more root-rounding happening in the bucket, just inevitably.

And yeah, that pH meter screwed me up good. So glad I figured that out. :)

Nice keif-ball! I got a 190 micron bag for bubble hash but have yet to get down and buy the dry ice! haha. I'll try to get it done soon. I've been on a tolerance break since 4/16 so I haven't been in prep-for-ultimate-consumption-to-combat-tolerance mode like I am when I'm in the thick of it, haha. I do want to get it all squared away before I break the fast though... mainly want to get my oil pen loaded up... but am going to do a keif extraction first with the dry ice and then do small batches of various things to try making oil from keif... :)

That's a nice hearty lookin tomato plant you got there :D

AlterNation - I love the strains you are growing. They look so good too - you definitely have a green thumb or two :) Can't wait to read the smoke report.

Oh - the other thing was that I want to make sure you are careful using hardware store acetone. Pour a little on a mirror and see if it leaves a film. If it dries clean then you should be fine. Pharma grade acetone would be the best. Not sure if you can get it without red tape. Everclear works well too :)


Cheers,
Mo

How long of t-break you taking bro?
I generally go as long as I can/as long as seems necessary. At the very least I'm setting some requirements for myself in the sense of needing to get back into exercising... I have been sloooowly starting it back up... I don't breathe too well a lot of the time and it ends up being my subconsciously chosen crutch to smoke or vaporize heavily because they both kinda choke up my breathing and 'slow down reality' as a result... hard to explain, but basically I just need to get back into doing cardio regularly before I let myself back at the lung-based consumption methods. But they are my favorite methods, haha. I like the amount of dosage control I get out of it and stuff, compared to edibles and the like...

I've been known to go roughly anywhere from 6 months to a year on, and then take like 4 months off usually before I give in.

No idea what'll happen this time though.

Oh, also, I lose dream recall almost entirely when I'm smoking as much as I usually do, so I'm sort of waiting for my dreams to come back to full vividness first as well. I am doing my best to dream journal what i remember every morning to encourage that as well.

Thanks mang... I am excited to try both of these strains... C99 has a long standing reputation, and raspberry cough seemed like a great alternative to the more traditionally-known strawberry cough. :) I really needed to get some sativa-sided strains going too, because my last grow was all indicas and one blend.

Thanks for the tip on the acetone, good to know... unfortunately I'd have to go all the way to New Jersey for fuckin everclear... considered mail ordering it by the prices are atrocious...

Let me just say, I have much appreciation for all you fellas who come in here and chat with me! Especially while on a sobriety run, it makes all the difference and keeps me from goin' stir-crazy when adjusting to not having the anti-boredom crutch to lean on. ;)

Damn dude lol. Well best of luck to you.

I can't dream if I don't smoke. Like if I don't smoke I have nightmares and shit. I feel you on the cardio but I do it and smoke still.

Hey if you take 4 months off you'll have a shit ton to choose from when you start again lol

I get nightmares sometimes when I'm sober but I literally cant remember ANY dreams when I'm high all the time... I know they still happen because sometimes I wake up with the inkling or sensations left over from a dream, but i can't remember it at all, and that can be super frustrating for me. I do a lot of hardcore dreaming... like serious tripped out transcendental stuff sometimes... and when I can't tap into any of that at all it starts to get super-depressing to wake up in the morning because i just feel like I am continuing the day before without any real respite.

I am just a lazy ass stoner... and I have a lot of health issues in history that encouraged a sedentary way of life so now it's kind of hard for me to keep myself active sometimes... and the laziness the weed invokes just doesn't help at all... I would rather get up and sit around getting high all morning than go for a run, if I have the option. But I am recalibrating myself into someone who does both, like you said. :)

And yeah, if nothing else the breaks really ease up on my wallet/usage... nothing like four months off to keep your stash growing.

Though I admit I kind of recoil after and smoke like a chimney so I don't even know if it's ag ood idea to push my breaks so long. Sometimes I think I'd be a lot better off doing shorter breaks, IF I could just keep my hands off the buds in between! But my thing is, I like smoking so much, that when I come off a break I go into ultra-consume mode like a slingshot... heh.

I want to get into a more casual relationship with pot, where I can break tolerance every week and get really high every week... or would even settle for just getting high in the evenings, if I had that much self control... but it always ends up an all day affair... lol.

But as it is now, I just try to go easy on myself with the judgement stuff when it comes to smoking heavy... and then I take a break when I feel like I have overtaxed myself too much. This works for me well enough. Believe it or not, it's really not very hard for me to stay sober after the first, oh, three days or so. Those transition days are terrible, but after that I level out and can get by without. So then it just becomes a matter of willpower to maintain it.

Truth be told I've been thinkin about breaking my fast a lot lately, LOL. Definitely will in June either way... my birthday, plus friends coming to visit from out of state, plus harvest from both these strains... I will break under such circumstance, guaranteed. ;)

I feel ya bro. The weekends are all days for me but other then that it's when I wake up I have a J and then mid afternoon I have a small vape bowl and then when I get home I smoke.

Sometimes I don't even do afternoon just morning and night. I can remember my dreams very well and I don't really remember them when I'm sober lol. Idk like I said I'm weird.
