The "safe word" is *SNAP*! I bent it back and then topped the first two nodes.Nice bondage shot!
I know! To think I only bought it because it was on sail! I just hope it finishes before the rain.Oh yes and I love the Alaskan genetics too
I hope so! I'm gonna get clone crazy!

I'm at about 42 degrees in Josephine County, Oregon. I've been told I'm part of The "Emerald Triangle". I grew my own meds last year for the first time on a whim. Someone handed me a handful of seeds and I started them in Jiffy pots. A few days later I had 150 seedlings of unknown origin! After much thinning, transplanting and guesswork I wound up with 6 females--legal at last!--and did alright for my partner and I. It appears we wound up with 3 Indicas and 3 Sativas, judging by growth habits. We just smoked the last of #5 yesterday. This year, I'm outdoors again but keeping track of what I'm growing and how it does. I have 1 Trainwreck, 1 White Widow, 1 Blue Widow, 1 Green Crack, 2 Blue Haze, 1 Blue Kush, 1 unknown for grins-and-giggles and 4 Blue City Diesels. I call it my Smurf Garden because of all the blue strains. All were clones obtained from a friend in Grants Pass and a patient resource center in Ashland. I have one BCD in a pot that's outside right now but I'm planning on playing with it indoors when I buy some lights on pay day. I put the first 1/2 dozen in the ground in a raised bed on April 23. The 2nd 1/2 dozen, which included the BCD, went into the ground on May 1st. This cool, wet weather is playing havoc right now for the younger 1/2, which suffered from a caterpillar attack a month ago. They're coming back nicely, I have to admit; the bugs did a pretty good job shaping the Smurfs for me but what a truly scary way to go. Made up some home-made bug spray (ground red chile and dish soap) that keeps caterpillars, spit bugs and everything else off so far 
Smurfies range from 30"-34" inches tall for the 1st 1/2 and 19"-21" tall for the 2nd 1/2. They're pretty bushy as I have been doing a little pinching and pruning. I'm really interested in the tie-down method you're using. Is it too late for me to try it this year on some of the Smurfs? I'm thinking about playing with SCOG for the BCD I plan on moving indoors for more vegging. I live on the north side of a hill so my sunlight is less than down in the Illinois River Valley but I had pretty good luck last year. My raised beds are a combo of native soil/clay, steer manure, compost and a touch of vermiculite to leaven the clay. I'm about 1300 ft. elevation with the bed on the west side of the house--too many trees on the south and north sides: very little sun, there. The Smurfs are more advanced than they were at this time last year with the seed starts but I think I can do better with a combo of vegging indoors until later in Spring before I move them outdoors to the garden. I also have quite a bit of yellowing on the BCD's; I think they're over-watered (the potted one looks like the bedded ones but no one else does) and are just not real happy outdoors. I'll post some pics in a few days; I've been keeping track of their growth thru pics and a journal so it's just a matter of sorting through them and getting them posted. What else? Not tracking nutes real close, using a generic fertilizer and pretty much growing the Smurfs like I would a tomato plant--which I also have in the garden with them. I'm liking comparng notes--keep it up!
Nice! The Emerald Triangle in Cali is made up of Humbolt, Mendocino, and another one… errr..dangit. Don’t remember. I can google but I’m a lazy bastich.I'm really enjoying this thread and the pics, BigJonI'm at about 42 degrees in Josephine County, Oregon. I've been told I'm part of The "Emerald Triangle".
This makes me sad for the 144 seedlings that had to die. L When you say partner…does that mean you’re a lesbian? I only ask because I treat lesbians and bisexual women better than other people. They deserve it.
What a great harvest! I’m only hoping Ill be smoking through most of next year. That way I can quit tobacco! (Blech! Its my marijuana “cutting agent” to keep costs down)
What a great garden! With the acquisition of this Urkel and growing Bubba Lavender and GDP I guess I’m leaning towards the purple myself but I loooove Blue Dream (which I think is a blueberry and haze) so I’m sure your Blue Haze is gonna be FIRE! I’m a huge fan of green crack as well but I never had your widow and kush crosses. Are they locally bred? Oregon has an amazing breeding history. Right up there with NorCal imo.This year, I'm outdoors again but keeping track of what I'm growing and how it does.

Have you done this before? I would only do it with one or two plants. They should do fine outside despite your limits. Any idea how many hours of direct sunlight it gets a day? If it’s the same spot you planted last year, then you already know how golden you are.
Thanks for the lengthy reply! Sorry it took me so long to reply but I figured anybody who took the time to write all that deserves a good reply. I love interacting on this site. I hang out with a bunch of smokers with no ambition to grow and I’m like “Why the hell not?!?!” So I never really have people in the real world who want to talk about it.
) had his so that's why I winnowed everything down to 6. This year, I have my card, too, so we have 12. Between your purple and my blue, I guess we're The Bruisers, huh?
