All kidding aside I almost did that after graduating high school. Reagan had just been elected (the first time) and our government had been spraying the pot fields of Mexico and Columbia with the herbicide paraquat. I remember a friend coughing up blood after an extended smoking session of the tainted weed. Ah those were the days. Anyway Humbolt county was THE place for a young man wanting to get away from it all and grow weed. I was working in the oil fields of Texas and Oklahoma just saving up for the chance to get away to the promised land. Ha, anyway I got tangled up with a sexy long legged country girl and wound up making lots of babies.

Thanks for the visit there southern. Growin outside sure has it's share of ups and downs. But the light bill is free.

Thank you trapper for the kind words and story. Those pigs will be everywhere now. Oh Lord! Yes the boar meat is delicious, reminds me to make a big pot of chili for later. mmmm mmm Wow, already seeing your breathe huh? Reminds me of the time I spent in the Wyoming Idaho area around 7500 ft too damn short a season to grow outside. Good luck with those purple ladies and I hope the frosts favor you enough to finish them out.









Well the big rain chances just fizzled right out. Nothing, nada, not even a sprinkle. What's a farmer to do? No rain = time to spray!!! So I mixed up a couple of gallons of spinosad and hit the ground with my sprayer. WOW, the buds have just jumped at those bloom nutes. New growth everywhere and pistils galore. They were certainly ready for the extra phosphorus. yummy. I sprayed those 3 areas really good. Soaked the buds, drenched the leaves, and up underneath all the leaves. Every so often a leafhopper, or a thrip, or a grasshopper, or a moth would fly/hop away so I know they needed it. I'd have to look back but it hasn't been long that these were sprayed. A week maybe. Bad news is I didn't take the camera with me. It was still dark <watching the persaids meteors while tending the weed was surreal> and didn't want to risk losing it. If you're growing outside you better be spraying or praying. I read in greenthumb111's grow where he already had budworms fucking up some buds. Get at it - NOW!!!!

Hey, I just remembered I picked up some new seed yesterday. I rode over to an old buddies place and he hooked me up with some of his "special reserve". LOL, we always trade weed so it was nice to get something new. It is some thick skunky bud with seeds. Yeah I know lots of people think seeded weed is crap but this smoke was very euphoric. I like a sativa dominant stone especially when out in public. I get all goofy on couchlock indica out in the paranoia of society. And I was on the scooter to boot so had to remain conscious.


It has a nice taste and a really fast buzz that stays a long time. I'll be labeling this T's Reserve and plan on growing some out.




It sure is nice to have such good friends.

Ouch. That's why I like growing outdoors. That and the exercise, I probably burned that many calories. Haha Speaking of, I took a few pictures this morning if anyone would like to take a hike and see.

Some tunes, it's a long hike.

All right, water break over let's get more water and go.....we've still got 3 more plots to water...







I need to practice on my close ups..

This sativa is over 8 feet tall now but showing few pistils. I'm still gonna watch it too.




Yeah, those freakin buckets are heavy huh? And I just found a tick up under my bandanna. Damn they sure are hot huh?
Hurry up and we'll take another water break...

AND? You are watching for water mocassins and copperheads??? Good.












You better get some water. You look kind of pale. Here let me get that last one for ya.



Well look here another sativa turned hermie. We better get this wrapped up, cleaned up, and hauled out. See ya at the house.




Man, I'm exhausted. You look like shit yourself. LOL We better get out of these soakin' wet sweaty clothes and pick off the ticks. I ain't lettin you git in my truck covered in ticks.

Hey WAIT!! I got all the ticks off... Don't leave me here... Shit!!! I don't even know were I'm at.

haha Nice update slab!! Those 8 footers look amazing. Hopefully they are just not show many hairs because they are such a pure sativa, and are going to be some long flowering plants!!

LOL, hahaha Thanks cph. It's a lot of work but the rewards are great.

A bit more work than dragging out the water hose and turning on the faucet for sure.
Thanks for the faux help there bro it is sure appreciated.

I'd like to thank those that left me some rep, if ya didn't leave a name I don't know who you are but I thank you all the same.

I moved the game cam this morning to observe any comings or goings so I'll pull it in a few days for observation. Also took a glance at my clone patch. Yep, the cows have fucked it up. Out of the 13 I set out there were only 3 still there. I thought that was a safe spot but this summer has been so dry the ranchers are putting cows anywhere there is something to eat. And they are... Oh well, that's the way guerrilla growing goes. Ya win some-ya lose some.


Just a reminder, if you're checking out my grow journal, feel free to stop and say hello or offer any advice <or critisism>.

Have a nice jay!

Haha!!!! I didn't know you couldn't see who rep'd you...Tried it again and got this. vBulletin Message

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to slabhead again.

Thanks for the rep tat and for the compliment, that means a lot to me. I do enjoy growing and it's nice to be able to show someone your grow without worrying about it getting ripped off.
