I really appreciate that alotta. If it wasnt for you guys idk what i would do. I feel I lost my dad a long time ago when he chose his girlfriend over me and gave her basically his whole life. What little life he had. I dont even think it has hit me yet i am just so drained. I was up till 5 talking to the neibor she is like my mom. She told me years ago when i first moved up there for high school she said its going to be a bad move. Sure enough I move up there and the kids are the biggest party animals. The money the drugs these kids had blew me away all of them getting sent to boarding schools.

Just so sad you know! As hard as this may be to believe but I lost my girlfriend and dad to the pharmicidical industry. They filled her up with pills for depression. She just needed to be happy and let the stupid things go. Lifes short in a blink of an eye! Were not here to work our selves to death. Were hear to enjoy this place and each other!

You guys have helped me so much already! Joshkins is coming down tomorrow so maybe we can hit up tws get together. Go over plans and ideas. Thanks ya guys so much!
 
yes joseph let me know if u go down to hemet. i want to go if that is ok so we can carpool and not waste 2 tanks of gas.
and rob im pretty confident my car will make it up the jackson so if you for some reason can't make it up there then I will drive you. we can smoke the whole way and talk. if not then we can go up when his plants are ready come xmas and harvest for him. but give me a call when you can.
i didn;t have anybody except a stuck up bitch gf when my dad died. so we are all here for you anything you need. okay man dont hesitate. i will do my best to help you whatever way i can.


just get a goodnight sleep tonight so you have a clear head. rest will make you feel better. talk to you soon bro

Dude Goped, I haven't said much about it but you know I'm here for support man.

Bonghits, I am way down to carpool man, I have tanked up 3 times this week and was really sweating spending the gas to go back out to the area again. I need to stop by my mechanic tomorrow morning (I need to go to bed!) and he was going to see why my car has been making that noise when I start up since he fixed the harmonic balancer, it sounds like my drive chain I think. Hopefully he just needs to take it off and put it back on proper, and it should be fine. So if I'm all done with that by 11am, then I can grocery shop real quick and after putting that away and doing whatever else pops up on me in the mean time, I should be all done and half way down the hill by 1:30pm, if things are smooth.

TWS sorry I've been so illusive man, I've been jamming around so cal like a fucking mad man all week, and when I haven't been I've been transplanting and tending to my garden. I have so much in veg right now I'm going to have to be very selective about what I decide to keep around for clones and what I pop straight into 12/12. How is the hash buddy?

So I'm pretty proud of myself, I just got 4 of 5 gardens taken care of in a little under 40 minutes. I'm so glad I replaced my electrode, I think my pH electrode has been broken since I got it, because now my Hanna meter rocks!!

I am just about out of BioBizz. I'm really thinking of kicking BioBizz to the curb and getting a cheaper organic nutrient line up. I hear good things about Roots Organics. I have seen good things from General Organics but I hate the smell of their stuff. Guess I can't be too picky. I love the way organics makes my bud smell, but after smelling/tasting TWS' landrace afghan I think I might just start growing that with synthetics and calling it organic. I bet I could get away with it 90% of the time, lol.

Been following this thread for awhile. I'm running Verde by Humboldt for vege. Here's a link... http://www.humboldtnutrients.com/high-powered-additives/verde/.
Works like a charm!

I do not recommend cheapo tents. They usually lack a lot in the light equipment hanging structure, and they do not have any viewing ports, which aren't necessary at all, but they are nice. Cheap tents also have cheap stitching, and you'll waste co2 and a/c if you ever decide to use it with stretched out stitching. I have a cheapo tent like that, and it actually works great, even with the stretched out stitching. But the hanging structure was crap! It was like a bunch of wimpy fucking coat hangers supporting my lights, I had to salvage one of the good supports out of my store-bought tent, which was a unbelievable value for the quality I got. It was so high quality it even had enough extra quality to share with it's shitty counterpart tent.

Oh man guys, me and Andrew got pulled over last night! I was speeding like a jackass, going 84 in a 70, and despite Andrew warning me I kept tearing shit up. Anyways, a cop pulled us over and I swear to god smoke had to be pouring out of the car!! Cop didn't even mention the smell of marijuana, he just did a routine traffic ticket and took off, he wasn't rude or anything. I had several questions for him to see if I could get off the hook (they have to have their radar guns calibrated and signed off by a superior) but I didn't want him to hang out any longer than he had too, fucking andrew stuck the pipe under his ass and I didn't want to get a DUI for that. Andrew did the right thing by hiding the pipe, I'm not saying he fucked up, it just made me so nervous I was shaking! Hahaha. Anyways, I may try and fight it in court, it was a long all those hills off the 10 going through the desert. It is impossible not to speed in the desert, but the judge will laugh at that statement. Oh well. Good times guys. Hahaha. So glad I didn't get my car impounded!!

LQs, I'm too lazy to do a multi-quote, lol, but I have been looking at that stuff for some time now, but haven't seen any grows on it. Got some opinions/info for me?

EDIT: Just looked up the Verde:
DERIVED FROM: Urea, Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed, Phosphoric Acid, Sulfate of Potash, Zinc sulfate, Iron sulfate and Magnesium sulfate.

It's not organic, it just has lots of natural ingredients. the Phosphoric Acid will destroy a good portion of my microbe colonies, so I stay away with any product containing it though. Thanks for the input though, at least you're rooting for me! lol.
 
oh man joseph. we were shaking! it could have been much worse than it was! i mean we just fired up not long before so the odor had to have been there. but he looked pretty cool not like a dick cop. he was black 2 so maybe he blazes hahahahahaha jk,(racist stereotype comment). if i had been asked to get out we would have been in more trouble. the ticket sucks ass cuz it coulda been prevented but we did get to go home last night with our stash and kief pellets.

when i go driving in my car, none of my friends are smoking. i just dont want to get a dui or in more trouble.

TWS, thank you for that kief! it is so good! smells so good and tastes even better! weighs .9 so that is a lot of kief! but don't you worry because you will get something in return when we have some.
it was fun last night. even thought it lasted til 12. but it was fun.

You guys must of been tore up! lol Everyone speeds on the ten so that dont make sense inless your like passing everyone!! lol

Anyways here is a lil love shot. Joshkins brought the scope over and things are not lookin bad! Here is just one shot i will take some more shortly.

 
your plants look amazing rob! even the lil cotton candy! so beautiful! trichs look amazing 2! just a matter of time before the sour ds here look like that! if our sour ds come out anywhere near as good as tws then we are set man! its pretty kool seeing other people's gardens seeing what they have set up and how they work. that harvest tws had on the papers were amazing looking! the triple berry i say could pass for indoor, if somebody told me that was indoor i would say hell yes it is. amazing taste and smell for being harvest not too long ago.

after seeing all that that just gave me even more hope now and confidence in our garden. how could we not get decent bud? or good? we can't fail. so that is reassuring!

we got the ratchets for the light finally! they work so nice! i can have the light at an angle so one side is higher then the other side for the taller hindu kushes. the purples are shorter. when i had the rope the light would level out or would fall. raising the light with the rope too was a shitty deal. i dropped the light on the plants cuz the rope i had came undone. now i can lift the light just by pulling a string and it goes tick-tick-tick-tick-tick. or to lower it release the button and it goes tick tick tick lol. greatest 20 even spent i think. well so far. also goin to get the fan timer today! turn that down to 1/3 its power.

man things are coming together. day by day we are reaching our goal. i cant wait til we have pounds to trim. or a pound lol. will be a bitch to trim but im sure we will have smiles on our faces the whole time :)

Yeah, I went organic last grow, trying something different this time for comparison. A long time grower I know laughed at me when I told him I was going organic, and he grows the best buds I've ever had!
