The Partagas is a CI Freebie but I have had 1 other and it was great!

I haven't tried the Indian, are those associated with Rocky Patel somehow? Seem to recall it was a partnership with somebody else, but maybe I'm confused.The Partagas is a CI Freebie but I have had 1 other and it was great!

Yeah...I think they started (and maybe continues) as his own "Edge" knockoff for the internet market...although I get his Maduro Edge once in awhile and the Indian Tabac is not quite there...but its not a dog turd either.

I'll have to give those a try. I think I've liked every Rocky I've tried, including the Edge.

Week 14
Well with two weeks of vegging to go it is time to make some choices on the Green Crack (last pic). I'm positive I don't have enough ceiling room for her to finish without going up against the roof. LST and supercropping did not work and she has already been topped 4 times this season. I'm going to run some lines over her that I can start bending branches over to keep her out of the fan but I think I may need to chop her down one more time as well. Better to have done this last week but so it goes. I'll be shocked if she puts off big buds just because I've never gotten big buds off a girl with long inter-nodal spacing like this one. But I'm having fun with it so whatever happens happens.
I'm at the point where I wish I had caged them, but I couldn't stand the thought of being surrounded by cages during June. Maybe next year. I've only got 3 girls to tie up and I know a few tricks so I expect to get through it. The happy vibe of the gh is now being lost to the plants taking over, as it should!

I expect to see some signs of flowering by end of month if this is like past years.
Haha I like that first post above the one to me.
That's what's up man, I look forward to watchin them GROWWWW
Hey I meant to ask you since we are have similar climates; Do you think I need to lollypop a SUPER bushy plant, or is humidity low enough here that I shouldn't have to worry about mold issues? I hate to cut those branches off she has worked so hard to produce :/

I think lollypopping is a personal decision so you can leave them if you like them for sure. I take off everything on the bottom foot or so just to make maintenance easier and to reduce some of the popcorn bud sites down low. I also prune off quite a few "sucker" nodes that come in on the interior of the plant looking under-developed in comparison to the new growth nodes around them. This is just to save me some work down the road when I'm trimming.Haha I like that first post above the one to me.

Happiness is enjoying the heart of your cigar in your greenhouse with your happy girls while it is pouring rain and blowing hard outdoors. That was my experience yesterday afternoon. Had time to rework some things. My tote is now nearly full so expect to fill another 50 gallon reserve tank before the afternoon rain comes in. Enjoying a monsoon flow that is giving us warm sunny mornings and then bitch slap isolated thunderstorms that dump hard when they hit you, lasting usually an hour or less. Fun stuff.
Pic 1, wind damage to new growth from growing into fast moving air stream from fan.
Pic 2, wind damage to fan leaf from same.
Pic 3, old mist fan location, see the tote out the window? Of course not, it is camouflaged.
Pic 4, new fan location, no longer misting.
Pics 5 and 6, weight training with crystals to redirect Green Crack growth outward.
Loved the mist fan but no place to aim it now without hitting plants hard. I tried to tie them back but at best it was only going to buy me another week. I've taken 15 degrees off my high temps with the new open side to the greenhouse so that will be have to be good enough for this year. Not really seeing improved growth from the lower temps anyway.

Hey DP, I run 3 seasons, but with single ply skin (Lexan polycarbonate), no chance to run in winter. I hope to upgrade to a 3 ply when I replace the skin in another 6 years or so, but much more expensive. I run a couple oil filled space heaters beginning in September and then have to add a propane torpedo near mid October. I'd like to upgrade my heating but need to upgrade my electrical first. Not sure if I'll get to it this summer or not.
With the propane torpedo I can keep it above 50 degrees with outside temps in the teens. But with those lows I'll burn a 20 gal tank every two days, which also gets expensive. I really have to be done by early early Nov. so no pure land-race sativas for me.

my neighbor and i fired foam practice balls at each other's houses every summer.
i don't know how you do it in this state, but we did it with golf clubs out west, partner. slingshots are cheating.
your setup and attention to detail outclass any grow i've seen. plus the rum and cigars thing. PBR and marlboros too low class for you?
yeah, thought so. fuck you, buddy.
just kidding, finally caught up on your grow and am in awe. drooling. along for the show now.
