yea ,way more than 2 per plant,,,the colas can get so big that the stalk cant hold em up!

That's what I thought, and now I'm having second thoughts.... the two larger ones are literally dwarfing the clones (two are still just cuttings, no roots yet), and by the time the clones would be anywhere near ready to flower, they wouldn't get nearly enough light to even start to catch up. So, this morning I decided that I should just take out the cuttings and put the big girls to flower by this weekend, if not even sooner. I only use about an ounce a month (two ounces tops, and that's when I'm having a really bad relapse that's also really long-term), so all I need from this grow should easily come from those two plants. By the time I were to even start to run low on this harvest, I'll have my second grow ready to harvest and/or already harvested. :mrgreen:

(I'll just give the clone that took root to my son; probably the other two cuttings as well, because they'll be showing roots any day now.)

Believe it or not, I've never heard of the spoon theory....but I'm gonna look it up when I pull myself away from this site, LOL! We've been down the med routes ourselves and my hubby said alot of the side affects are worse than the symptoms MJ is what helps the most with NO side affects!!

Great grow!! Let's hear it for the lady growers!

Looks like she moved the URL for her article; I've not found where she put it yet. I sent you vids via PM, though.

And yes, the only side effect from the MJ for me is sleepiness, and that's only when I use enough to get sleep! The only meds I take are Klonopin (mostly for the bipolar mania, but it does help the pain a bit too, especially the neuropathy) and a pain pill or a muscle relaxant a couple/few times a year. I hate the side effects of the pain pills and muscle relaxants, and they make me not just sleepy but really dopey... way more than MJ ever has!

Lady growers rock!!!

Got the new fan for the tent today, and not a moment too soon.... the old one went from constant horrific squeaking to just dying this afternoon! :lol:

When I was at the hardware store picking out a fan, I saw 10 gallon storage bins that are the same dimensions as the BP's bin for $3, so I got one. Now I can take the lid off of the BP and just place that onto the empty bin when cleaning the BP.... I haven't had anywhere to place the lid without the plants' roots getting crushed, so I've had to hold the sucker open with one arm while cleaning with the other. My body just can't handle that! And of course it's gonna get heavier and heavier! However, that really is my last purchase for this grow! LOL!

SO, the question I have is....

It's pretty much the "general rule" to put the plants in 24 hours of darkness before going 12/12, correct? (I don't know how necessary this is, but I've noticed that a lot of people do this.)

no

just adjust the timer when the lights go on to shut off sooner (after 12 hrs)
and it shouldnt recieve any other light after that

wow,no disrespect lady but when you started this post you made it sound like you were dying,like you had a terminal illness or somethin,but it seems like ever since you plugged your band you MIRACULOUSLY feel good enough to do heavy lifting(seeing as how a few posts ago you couldnt do anything without bothering your son)and you didnt know much about the aerogarden,then BOOM you build a custom hydroponic system.....hmmmm

you went from being on a thousand(exaggeration)meds from 7(also an exaggeration)illnesses and having your son who lost his "Job" move in with you to "take care" of you to only taking bipolar medicine????

LMAO......YOU LIE TO MUCH

I'm gonna have to ask you to leave....

Doesn't seem like you want to learn. Seems like you want to come into someone else's thread and accuse them of something you know nothing about, and that little buddy, is not accepted here.

Learn by reading. Anybody will tell you that. If you have questions after that, everyone here on RIU will be happy to help.

You can use the browse button to pull them off of your computer instead of having to upload them to photobucket or the like. Do you have an aerogarden?

Go to the main aerogarden part of the forum and start a new thread and drop a link to it in here, that way we don't jack Kat's thread. I'll be sure to hit it up once you get it made.

nikkelz said:
wow,no disrespect lady but

Gee, I must've assumed the "but" inserted after "no disrespect" meant the following wouldn't be cordial, wrongly taking offense to your onslaught. My bad!

when you started this post you made it sound like you were dying,like you had a terminal illness or somethin,

There is a vast difference between "terminal" and "chronic" illness. It's not my problem you can't differentiate the two. Your reading comprehension needs improvement, as does your tact.

but it seems like ever since you plugged your band

What's a video from almost a year ago got to do with the price of tea in China?

you MIRACULOUSLY feel good enough to do heavy lifting

If "heavy lifting" is sliding 10-15 lbs. across the floor miraculous, then I've been quite the fool for not believing in miracles.

(seeing as how a few posts ago you couldnt do anything without bothering your son)

Wow, I had no idea that expecting my adult son who's not in school, has no job, and doesn't pay rent to do a little work around the house was "bothering" him. I should've just let him sponge off of me instead, never learning what it takes to man up and pull his own weight so that he might be better prepared for the real world when Mommy isn't there to provide it all for him anymore. I must immediately apologize to him for being such an evil slave driver, not to mention for kicking him out due to his not pulling said weight.... thank you for opening my eyes to my selfish & inconsiderate ways!

and you didnt know much about the aerogarden,

WOW, go figure.... when all else fails, read owner manuals and forums dedicated to the use of a particular contraption, and you too might figure out how it works.

then BOOM you build a custom hydroponic system

Where does it say that I ever built a custom hydroponic system? Oh, wait, did I just perhaps say (more than once, might I add) that I bought a hydroponic system? Your (lack of) reading comprehension is showing itself more and more.

.....hmmmm

Pausing to think of what more B.S. to spew?

you went from being on a thousand(exaggeration)meds

I've indeed been over-medicated. "Been" being the key word: past tense.

from 7(also an exaggeration)illnesses

Several illnesses are suspected, none ruled out yet. (Which I've also stated more than once.)

and having your son who lost his "Job" move in with you

Where did I say that he lost his job and then moved in with me? Or is this just more conjecture?

to "take care" of you

You're right for once. A caregiver does indeed take care of the person one is assisting, to one extent or another. "Caregiver" being the key word this time.

to only taking bipolar medicine????

Newsflash: Klonopin is far from a conventional medication for bipolar, and especially on its own.

(Color me silly, but I could've sworn that "medical grow" would indicate that MJ is my medicine, even without my referring to it as "my medicine" countless times.)

LMAO......YOU LIE TO MUCH

I never could pull one over on brainiacs like you. Your spider senses are tingling. I'm impressed.

Do you generally make a practice of scanning through text and choosing which few words to actually absorb, then filling in the blanks to read what you want it to say? Or is this simply how you gain quick attention when you join a new site? After all, negative attention is better than none for some people.... kinda sad, really.

Nah, I talk too much.

He's just an angry little troll who can't find his bridge. :roll:

nikkelz said:

That's "obviously" what you get for thinking. You "obviously" don't consider the feelings of others.

besides i AM trying to learn from folks as to how to do things

Yep, introducing yourself to other forum members in this manner will indeed have them banging down your door to offer you advice and show you the ropes. RIU loves it when people enter discussions with unfounded accusations and unprovoked insults.

.....seeing as how YOU WANNA BE AN ENFORCER... rather than a teacher

RIU isn't the public school system: no one is obliged to be your "teacher" when you can't even show a bit of respect. The only way you'll find teachers with your approach is to pay them a lot of money. There's no other incentive to put up with antics such as what you've displayed here. I don't know what forums you're used to frequenting, but RIU is not a playground designed to babysit little children.

....i aint goin NOWHERE homeboy

Wanna bet?

Perhaps not everyone. I have yet to see anything that even slightly resembles apology.

Thank you, Fox. I was too laid up to even browse on the 'net for a couple of days, then came back to the forums to find this. If I were a bitch on wheels around here I'd understand, but I've done absolutely nothing to merit this sort of treatment. Fortunately I don't take experiences with a scant few people and conclude that RIU is no longer a "safe" community.

nikkelz said:

He didn't "feel" you were out of line; you flat out crossed it from word one.

but i guess it is what it is.....nikkz

You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. "What it is" is far from what you've insinuated.

I repeat: I have yet to see anything that even slightly resembles an apology.

Treat me with the respect I give everyone else around here or get off of my thread. I've got enough on my plate between being in constant indescribable pain and fatigue from chronic illness, a prisoner of my home and body, my man being deployed to a war I've never supported, hence being left to fend for myself when I am far from able to take care of myself and/or my home. I don't need (much less deserve) attacks from someone who doesn't know me from Lilith. I'm also done raising my children, and am not interested in taking on more.

In other words.... this behavior won't be tolerated; please fuck off.

And before you come at me with more childish remarks about my condition or character (or anything else derogatory, for that matter), let me inform you that this conversation is indeed being sent to the RIU moderators.

Unless he does an immediate and complete 180, he can PM you with his new link. I know you have great intentions Fox, but without a sincere apology and 100% recantation, I don't want to see this person posting here again. I come to RIU for the great company as well as the vast information, not to have my character and feelings dragged through the mud.

I don't consider "OT idle chit chat" to be hijacking my thread. However, this is beyond hijacking; it's downright unacceptable behavior.

nikkelz · May 9, 2009

sorry ms.

theres your apology

FoxCompany426 · May 9, 2009

Wow, she tore you up. It's good that you still apologized.

Take that as a lesson, talking to others on the internet is the same as talking to others in real life. Everyone deserves respect.

(Emphasis mine.)

If that is to be construed as an apology, rather than poorly veiled sarcasm. I can be sweet as pie, but I refuse to tolerate outright unsolicited attacks.

'Nuff said 'bout that, though. Just noticed your sig, on my way to your new grow journal!
