yeah i know i should but money be tight right now, fuck its always tight but valentines day is creeping ever closer the missus said i just want a card with something nice wrote in it, but every bloke worth his beans knows that isn't what she meant lol

yeah ill probably get a scope with the proceeds of my hindu kush which seems to be going like the clappers now I've repotted her the lower branch buds are crowning and bursting new growth as is the top!:bigjoint: if the seed bag is to be believed then it is 9 weeks exactly today she's been 12/12 but not a single pistol has turned colour. I reckon it will go 10 weeks + (smells like proper indian hash;-))

my trainwrecks are suffering a bit of heat stress cos they wont stop reaching for the stars even after I've topped. the k train that I didn't top has stopped of its own accord tho?!

yeah I know its not the easiest to see with the big lamp on glowing yellow, for exhaust Ive got a 4" centrifugal fan sucking through some acoustic lined ducting sucking the air from just off the end of the light to out the carbon filter into the room again,

6 inch fan blowing in through the corner of the door with both flaps at full stretch heheheh I've closed the bedroom window but im still using bottles of frozen water just in front of the 6" fan blowing cold air in. temps running around 22-24 i might cut back on the frozen bottles but i know as soon as i do we'll have a slight up in temp n ill have to re adjust.

naa its not complicated at all man in fact its pretty much exactly the same as yours! lol n the acoustic stuff is pointless it does very little to mask the noise of the fan mines running 24/7 too

so when are you fit to pull ? i was just looking at your last pics still looked a little fresh.
well the 3 big 'uns are due mid march n the little hindu kush id say is going to be maybe another week to flower n another week to dry but it may go longer its pushing new growth out of each cola where i thought it would just fatten up so who knows!:bigjoint:
