    Well that's most discouraging. I did not realize that.

    Really? Not that distinctive pot smell though right? I can't imagine a plant smelling like you stuck your nose in a bag of weed.

    Each night I say to myself I'll wait to post more pics for a week. Build some excitement. Then I wake up and post more.

    Doesn't smell that much yet. Unless you touch it and whatnot then it's on you.

    After chopping about 100 big leaves this week... Looks a LOT less dense, but it's also been rainy for a week and now can get some airflow and dry out. Word of advice... If you have an outdoor fireplace don't burn the leaves in the fire. I'm officially an idiot.

    Camera is over my head so it's a weird angle, but I'm 6'5".

    Believe me if I didn't think I would look like a fish outta water I would have a temporary green house over this thing like a tiny addition to the house. My family are builders and I grew up building houses. I could build the mini Taj Mahal. I just think people would find that even more of a...

    I'm hoping it will be done by then. The screenshot I posted was the extended forecast. Mid November shows first freeze.

    I guess that's the thrill of it? I kinda feel like Rambo at the end of Rambo 2, after he's done crash landing the chopper and shooting up the base. He's walks off into the unknown Thailand with Troutman asking him "how will you live?" Rambo replies "day by day... day by day." thinking about...

    Looks like 11/16, but this is Chicago, shit changes daily. Could be sooner. Or possibly not til later.

    It's only human nature and I understand that so I don't feel too cocky about it, but you all have made me feel like the man even though I haven't done shit for this result. I want the huge cola things, I want to win the private contest between me and the world. I want to impress. It's in all of...

    I know I'm posting a million messages here, but I'm just giddy. Based on the little branches I showed in the picture should I defoliate more so they get sun? Or does sun not matter to the buds themselves?

    If anything I've been helping it stay vertical. Branches were sagging and one broke, so I tied many of them up to keep them as upright as possible. I'm not sure how a few of them stay attached, they are horizontal straight out from main stalk a good 4-5'. They look like they should just snap...

    Where do you get that? I'm more into astrophysics than chemistry, sounds like I'd be identified as a bomb maker or something buying that. I have zero clue about it. What is it uses for besides what you described? Anyone else have an opinion? I surely don't want to have a disaster here at this...

    Next time I go out I'll get a pic of the trunk, I just noticed how big it is today. Kinda impressive based on other pics I saw on here.

    Working from home today, which translates to diet pepsi and cookies staring at a computer for a while, then check on the "shrub" as I've been calling it when I have a smoke break. I count 41 branches that look like this... All with 4 or 5 smaller branches off each branch just below this part.
