I seen there was nothing to trim, gotta love that. My I.G. is alot like that. I don't know if it's that frosty though :shock:!

Who wants to trim anyways, less trimming, more smoking, ROFL! Peace & Love.

The last few days these threads have REALLY been making me feel like a PHATTY. I could shove a gram and a half in a skin right now and suck it down. I think this is the longest I have gone without toking in 10 years now. Good news is, the LVBK seems to have left all her energy reserves for near the end here. At first I thought there was NO way it would finish in 60 days as advertised. I was wrong. Trichs are all milky, calyxes are swelling almost as if they're seeded. Stigma turning back all of a sudden. I'm willing to wager they'll finish on exactly 60 days, which is 2 weeks from now. That means I will leave them another week as I always do, then they will dry EXACTLY in time for my birthday in November. PERFECT.

Small victories are what drives the soul Hamish. I'm really glad to hear that you'll have some nice meds on your B-day. After the year you've had, you more than deserve it bro.

I like that, "PERFECT"! Sounds like something nice to fixate on!:weed:

Have a blessed day folks. Peace & Love.

EDIT: Oh, BTW. Killer avatar!

This is my worm bin. I brewed an alfalfa/kelp tea last night and added the spent material to my worm bin along with some dandelions from my yard, and coffee grounds and egg shells from that morning, and then covered it with a layer of shredded cardboard that I had laying around. Everything gets recycled through the worm bin, and in a few weeks I'll have some nice castings that are crawling with beneficial microbes at zero cost to me. Those bags of castings that you are buying are not only expensive, but they are of inferior quality. I've read stories about these commercial worm farms feeding their worms cheap dog food. That can't be good.

I can't stress this aspect of organic growing enough to you mayo. Less than $50 will get you a nice bin set up. I'm going to keep pestering you about this until you get on it! :-)

You sum up the way I am looking at it one hundred percent! That first joint is going to be phenomenal. I can almost feel it already. I am dreaming a helluva lot, and in all my dreams I am trimming bud. Waking up is sometimes just, well, WRONG. No bud to trim. LOL

Oh and the avatar is a pic of the character Mad Hamish where I hijacked my nickname from. He's this geriatric barbarian, deaf as a post, mad as a hatter, with spikes the wheels of his wheelchair and an assortment of deadly/pointy stuff at arm's length. He still pillages and can hold his own in any fight. I like the character, he's true to himself and his purpose to the very last breath :)

May 11th... I don't trust GPS so I don't use it. It would be better if it was analogue LOL. I tried to use it once but the damn thing kept trying to steer me up one-way streets.

I have been there Hamish. It will make it awesome when you do spark up. Go be alone and without worries bro when you do. I do love the avatar. It is cool.

Here are some shots of the chosen Starlet Kush male. Cool crosses coming up from him.



I focused the next shot on the opening flower at the bottom left. This guy is outside in the Maine fall.

Incredible shots Gandalf. What a beautiful specimen he is. You're showing us little glimpses everyday of your choices for breeding. I'm really enjoying the pictorial journey, thanks for taking us along with you. Peace & Love.

He is triched up really well. You can see it on his leaves. He is turbo strong. I tossed all the male except 3 outside a few weeks ago. Most did not like that. He just smiled and said "bring it on". From cozy indoor temps to high 30's at night. I took some clones from a SBD X FB that is still alive outside. I am not sure I will get pollen from this guy but I may. If the weather holds I will but I have ridden this time of the year. There have been 2-3 foot dumps in October recently. They melt quick but stay up in the mountains. If it gets cold and the clones don't take and I lose the pollen shot I will use the tiresias mist for sure. Who knows if the SBD X FB will ever go into production? Either way I am keeping it. Every pheno is a keeper. I swear it. I have crossed the best of the phenos with all the Gage males.

I am excited to see the LA Haze x (SBD x FB). A GG satty fest. I'll mix in some straight KM here and there too. I am also going to work a Starlet Kush x Kali Mist cross tossing some Daybreaker and OB Ripper Kush phenos. Kali Mist Kush will is on the way boys. I love this as much as anything I have ever done. I know I have great foundation strains. I just want to preserve genetics that deserve to be saved. I also believe firmly that these genetics are really shining in seed form and should be worked further. It is hard to consistently transfer great genetics to predictable outcomes with seeds. I think Gage is consistently doing this.

It really does take true breeding genetics to make a decent bean, I think you have a start many dream for. Keeping genetics that won't be around again, and you prefer is the way to go. If you have the room, and time for em, heck yea, why not. You have as solid a foundation as anyone I knew who started making beans, and probably better to be honest. You know your stuff, and also know what a result looks like that you would want in the end. With all the dank you have growing right now, I feel sorry for any cross that doesn't make the cut.....To the COMPOST! I don't predict too many going that route though. I honestly think you're going to end up with some very wild smells, flavors, and terpene profiles across the board.

I honestly couldn't think of a better hobby for someone to have. You take care of your plants, they take care of you. The true definition of, SYMBIOSIS!

Peace & Love.

hey guys.

just started up a few new seeds, got them in peat pellets and its the first time ive used these.. just keep them moist and warm until better established?

my other 2 plants arent doing so well, the ak47 auto doesnt look good at all lol, leaves have turned very purple. will i even get anything from it at all or just throw it away?

the other one here is still not looking any better, with the leaves dying off quicker than they can grow new ones. ive drilled holes in the pot to try and help it dry out quicker, but still nearly 2 weeks after watering my moisture meter tells me it is still wet in there. very frustrating.

thinking about getting an autopot, i know this isnt really the thread to discuss it but have any of you guys used one before?

Do not overwater the pellets. Do not mist them all the time. Leave them alone. Remind me as to what type of soil mix you are going to use? What can you get near you?
