Louie XIII OG in Dual Monster Plant System (3rd Scrog)

Wow
I'm a soil guy, I am looking to venture into hydroponics very soon, I looked into the hydro-farms these seem self explanatory and seen someone pull 310g dry off one plant from seed. They look promising. ill edit in the link to that grow i just mentioned.

Yea. I meant 310g with a short veg time.

I talked a lot about flying models out. Let's see, there was that German girl, Nadja, the Czech girl, Jenni, the Ohio girl, Samantha, and of course Cybergirl of the Year, Leanna Decker. But y'know what? Sometimes you just gotta go with known commodities. Just the fact that these two are talking to one another gets me a little excited.

Stephy shot with 7D.

Tiffany shot with 5D MkIII. See the difference?

Thanks. I keep thinking of your monster plant as I continue to veg.

Edit:
PH is stable, drifting in the range of 6.1 to 6.3. No more dropping.

lol, i bet you do
funny how you and i have both found that a higher ph has increase vigor. Certain hydro it seems. or maybe it's just that we are both consistent?

a quick update for you last night day 33.

Thanks for that. I'll respond with Veg - Day 48.

Pre-tuck. Sorry, Photofuckbucket is down, so I have to use Image Shack. Pathetic. But Image Shack has a no resize option so the photos are huge! Whoo hoo! Hey, our pix look pretty good together.
Main head on big girl. This is extreme training. Do not try this at home. I'm a trained professional.

The joy of scrogging.

Spreadin' out the right.

And filling in the weak left side with drastic tucks.

Okay, I’ll try to set this up to be absorbed with minimal effort for you, the stoned reader.

There’s this fiction writer named Laurel Dewey, published author of the “Jane Perry mystical crime thriller series.” Apparently she’s written a fictional tail (I mean tale) that is deeply rooted in the Colorado medical cannabis scene. Never read her work, but I did just catch an interesting blog post she wrote at good ol’ Fuckington Post.

A short, well-written review of the book at the Weedblog:
http://www.theweedblog.com/bettys-little-basement-garden-book-review/

The book itself is basically a skilled fictional mirroring of the real-life experiences of the author. See, Laurel used to buy into all the conservative propaganda regarding marijuana before she underwent a ‘cannabis awakening.’

Here’s her full article at Fuckington. Good read. Check it out:

The Marijuana Myth: What If Everything You Think You Know About This Plant Is Wrong?

What if everything you were ever told and believed about a subject wasn't true? What if the well-meaning, trusted and respected people who told you those lies were just parroting the propaganda that they heard?

That's the exact dilemma I found myself in about three years ago. For most of my life, I bought into the grim and terrifying stories I heard about -- dare I say it? -- marijuana.

Whether they called it doobie, reefer, pot, Mary Jane or plain ol' weed, I believed all those ominous voices when they warned me that marijuana could cause everything from brain damage to a craving for stronger drugs (i.e., the "gateway" theory.) And so as I got older, I just kept repeating the same marijuana mantras to others, convinced that I was right. "Marijuana is dangerous," I told others. "Only brain dead stoners use it."

Someone once said to me, "the further you get away from the facts, the easier they can turn into a myth." Boy, is that the truth. It all started three years ago when I decided to finally research marijuana. If anything, I was determined to prove to myself and others that my concerns were valid. Living in Colorado where medical marijuana was legal to possess and grow once you qualified for a "red card", I was surrounded by "pot shops." Thanks to Amendment 20 in our State Constitution, these dispensaries grew and flourished faster than it takes a medical marijuana bud to mature. In Denver County alone, there are around 400 medical marijuana dispensaries, outnumbering the 375 Starbucks statewide. I freely admit that I mocked these businesses and rolled my eyes at the people who frequented them. So, on that summer day nearly three years ago, I decided to dig into this controversial plant and arm myself with even more information that would support my anti-marijuana stance.

But a strange thing kept happening. The more I dug into what some opponents refer to as "the green menace," the more I continued to find research studies I wasn't aware existed. Some of these studies had been buried -- perhaps purposely -- and made scientific claims about Cannabis Indica and Cannabis Sativa that I found almost too good to be true. For example, I read a 1974 study(published in 1975) that was conducted at the University of Virginia that proved that the cannabinoids in the cannabis plant shrunk cancerous tumors and killed cancer cells, leaving healthy cells alone. Even though it was there in black and white, I still didn't buy it. So I kept investigating. I found that when I used the Internet search terms "cannabis+indica+healing+benefits," I got a whooping 220,000 websites. When I added the word "medical" to that group of words, the field increased to 452,000.

For the next six months, I spent every spare moment researching "the Devil Weed." Putting it bluntly, I was shocked. There was absolutely nothing "devilish" about it. All this remarkable information had been out there, waiting to be discovered and all I had to do was agree to view it with an open mind. I learned that Cannabis Indica had been compounded into liquid extracts in the late 1800's and up until the early 1900's. These extracts were recommended by medical doctors to alleviate everything from teething pain in infants to reducing the pain of arthritis and menstrual cramps.

I found out that contrary to what I'd been told, nobody has ever died from using marijuana in the thousands of years this plant has been available. In fact, I had no idea that its medical use dated back to around 2700 B.C. and was called a "superior" herb by the Emperor Shen-Nung (2737-2697 B.C.). I discovered that while I had been demonizing marijuana, thousands of people worldwide had been quietly and effectively curing or relieving a multitude of health problems, including Crohn's disease, migraine headaches, chronic depression, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), insomnia, dementia, epileptic seizures, Parkinson's disease and even AIDS. The more I researched and talked to pro-cannabis physicians, patients, researchers and historians who studied the plant, the more I heard incredible testimonials of recovery from illnesses and mental imbalances in addition to, as one patient told me, "just a better outlook on life."

And that's when I uncovered information that really challenged the stories I'd been told. People were using this "weed" to get off of opiates, alcohol, tobacco, heroin, cocaine and other powerful drugs. Thus, it was gaining traction as "an exit drug," instead of the "gateway drug." Seniors were also secretly using it to improve their cognition. Wait...what? How is that possible? Didn't marijuana make you a "brain-dead loser"? No, not according to the scientific data I discovered. The opposite was true as researchers found that the plant allowed neurogenesis in the brain -- the growth of new neural pathways, even when the brain had been damaged by age or trauma.

I understood that smoking the herb was the least effective way to gain the vast array of medical benefits from its use. I learned that doctors, lawyers, CEOs of major companies, accountants and other highly trained professionals used marijuana daily and felt it vastly improved their wellbeing and ability to handle stress. I found out that a respected medical doctor, Dr. William Courtney, encouraged patients with chronic illnesses to juice 10 to 20 fresh marijuana leaves daily. This concentrated green drink was not psychoactive and flooded the body with cannabinoid nutrients that helped reverse degenerative diseases.

Putting it mildly, the information was mind-boggling. And that's when I realized that there was a story to be told. Nobody had ever written a fictional novel about medical marijuana that didn't include "stoner" stereotypes or pander to fear. It took me another five months and hundreds of hours of one-on-one interviews with medical marijuana patients, caregivers, growers, dispensary owners and experts within the cannabis industry to develop what would become Betty's (Little Basement) Garden.

The book focuses on 58-year-old Betty Craven, a strikingly beautiful former Texas beauty queen who is a staunch Republican and widow to her equally conservative career military husband, Frank. Betty's only child, a son, died in his mid-20s from a drug overdose. When we meet Betty, her life is in suspended animation. The walls are closing in around her. All she has left that she loves is her award-winning flower garden and the remnants of equipment left over from her failed gourmet chocolate store. When she comes to the shocking conclusion that her entire life has been wasted, a rebellious spirit that Betty has kept hidden, explodes to the surface. Her conservative world spins 180 degrees around as she comes face-to-face with her biggest fears. And one of those fears is marijuana. The path she chooses is paved with secrecy, eccentric characters, toe-curling love, life-changing events, and a connection to her unconventional, basement garden that she never could have imagined.

My intention when I wrote Betty's (Little Basement) Garden was to show the truth about the medical marijuana industry in Colorado. It's not all sunshine and lollipops. I don't sugarcoat the realities of working in the cannabis world, nor do I romanticize what it means to be a grower for a seriously ill patient who depends upon your green thumb to make his or her medicine. The book illustrates a massive shift in the "anti-pot" propaganda that I grew up hearing and believing. My hope is that it's not just an entertaining story; my hope is that it's also enlightening for those who read it and believe the way I used to about this ancient herb. As Betty Craven says, "There's nothing more liberating than releasing a limiting belief."

Okay, I'm getting pretty tired of Photobucket taking my money and showing me this. Their site goes down almost as often as RIU. Lol. J/K... or am I?

But the bright side is that I've finally been motivated to get the blog going.

I actually ordered the Snow Leopard upgrade disk from Apple that will allow me to run the deluxe edition of Wordpress. The Apple rep, Cynthia, was delightful.

So guess what? Everything you love about my journals is about to become more focused and amplified at my very own blog. That means I'll finally be able to post my adults only image galleries... and I'm gonna do my best to swear even more than I do here.

I welcome you to check it out and leave comments just as you do here. Only difference? I'm the moderator. (rubbing hands together) Mua ha ha ha ha.

The disk should arrive Sept. 11. Make a note of it.

This Kimmel video is a little old but still relevant.

Thanks, Sophie. And you're welcome.

It's a small worldwide web after all... It's a small worldwide web after all... It's a small worldwide web after all.

This gal, in addition to being one of the best endowed women I've ever seen, is a barrel of laughs. I can tell by the "about me" section at her Mayhem profile that she's outrageous, charming, and smart. I shit you not, this model is also a lawyer.













Cheesy video used to be here. ----------------------------------
So how could I not drop her a message at Mayhem? Will Sophie Turner respond to Jin's message at Model Mayhem? Stay tuned and find out!
Edit:
Wait a minute. I just tried watching this video. Ugh, the opening part where she comes out of the car and the photographers call to her...Creepy. I couldn't watch the rest. I should actually watch videos before posting them, huh? Oh, well. Too late to say you're sorry. Lol.
Edit 2:
It's never too late. Video removed. I'm sorry.

Isn't this kind of contradictory to Obama's War on Pot? A vote for Gary Johnson is a vote for Mitt Romney, ain't that right, Colorado?

"But Kal Penn was working under me."

Kal who? Sorry, Obama. You can't have it both ways.

Exercising my tendency to state the obvious to the fullest. Center mass.
Left side. Little one gaining a little traction. See? What'd I tell ya?

Right side.

Apologies for being so terse tonight. Not really in the mood. Lol.

Edit:
But I can't shut up completely. I'll just mention quickly that ppm is falling at an alarming rate. I just had to re-inject 200ppm worth of nute and calmag. Never seen this kind of feeding before. Kinda' scared.

Extreme action.
Taking it to the edge.

I'll do one more major tuck before flowering, but I think I need the tops at the ends to gain a bit more height.
Don't worry. I'm flowering this weekend for sure. I can't take any more of this shit.

To celebrate I thought to throw up an oldie but a goodie. Like the pic. The grow? Meh.

Kinda' makes me want to try Tangerine Dream. I could easily exceed a pound with that strain. Has anyone tried it?

Wouldn't it get root-bound in that tiny bucket? Looks impossible, doesn't it?

that's what i'm talkin about! that is impressive. massive colas.

I can see Jin going to 1 plant monsters soon

I think I would want to cut a new tub lid to suit a single plant smack dab in the center. If I popped one of those seeds, two plants might be too much.

You get honked at by the taco truck driving down the street.

I swear, I was just crossing the street when I heard this car horn, but it was playing a gay, Mexican fiesta melody. I thought, "What the fuck?" turned around and there they were, smiling and waving. I couldn't believe it. I felt so cheap. Lol.

Taco whore.
