Time to show your grow.

[FurnaceBoi]

I feel so humbled when I post my little closet grow lol. I'm glad I keep learning from great growers.

Anyway. Flipping my last large plant and first 3 clones for new SOG grow.

Slowly but surely dialing it in.

Gingerbeard Well said and thanks. Grow on 👍

I remember my very first grow. Seed from a bag of schwag that had red hairs (hard to find in my youth) and grew 1 plant using ccfls from Lowes and aluminum foil for mylar. Simple analog dial timer, and wife opened and closed closet door when shee needed a wash rag or towel lol! She did flower and was decent smoke but I got about a quarter out of the whole plant. No joke. Gone in 1 day. Me and my brother smoked it. Never grew again till last year when I became legal. So yeah bro, we all started somewhere. You'll get there. Keep trucking and keep learning. You're doing 100% better than I did.

My first indoor grow was under a metal halide in half a cupboard. It grew to 3 inches tall, maybe 4 if I can push it, turned purple and fell over and died. I don't think it even got to its second set of leaves. That was almost 40 years ago. Zero yield.

[Radeon]

I learned all my grow knowledge back then from High Times magazine. My dream was to one day have my homegrown in High Times. I used to hang the pictures from the magazine on my wall. Knew when the new one came out each month and was at Walden Books to get it as soon as it hit the shelf.

First grow I was a part of was following a buddy out into the woods where he put a couple bag seeds in the dirt next to a stream. Third time we went we couldn't find it.
First grow I did myself was bag seed in a few inches of dirt in a fish aquarium. Single fluorescent across top. Plants got a good 12" with 3 sets of leaves. Looked like I was growing green spaghetti until they fell over. I got horrible fungus gnats and leaf miners. That wife didn't care about the leaf miners, but she put her foot down at having bugs in our closet. Sheesh... women!

7+ feet tall and 5 gallon coco/perlite does not do well in windy conditions. So their spending the next couple of days in the garage. Now their invading my space....

[Ckbrew]

Been there, done that, aggravation...

[Bluey]

I'm loving this plant Franklin

Orange ZkittleZ x Sour Diesel

These main cola buds are going gang busters. Very healthy grow.



No signs of any issues except perhaps a fraction too much light on the tops of the tallest colas but thats the compromise. Many weeks to go yet, maybe 4. Comfortable 18"+ long main bud colas filling out nicely, getting their first waves of dank starting up now and leaving sticky goodness all over my arms sticking my hairs in clumps. 7gal pot 80/20 coco perlite

23.2⁰C 50%RH PPFD around 850 to around 1060 EC 1.7 pH 6.1 to 6.3

Watering day...48 hours since last post. Getting frosty....

I just found out I have colon cancer. Don't know what stage yet. This is my last grow. I'll keep everyone uppdated with my current grow. Any questions you have ask. I have over 50 seeds to give out for free. My tent I'm giving away. My lights, all my equipment I'm giving away. Hug your children, your wives, your parents. Any day it could end. Sorry for my bummer post, but I need to do as much as I can to help before it's over. I'm refusing treatment. I'm tired boss....Finally peace will come. Can't wait. I'm looking forward to it. No more pain and sorrow...

[Bluey]

That's not good news mate. Sad news indeed.

The decision to get treatment or not is of course your decision and yours alone but your family & friends are the ones that have to live with that decision not to get treatment.

If growing plants brings you joy and happiness, why not continue with it?

[Ckbrew]

I can relate. I have had four experiences (events) over the last 3 years that have made their possible adverse implications known. I have so far come out on top, but it keeps me wondering how long this can continue. Make your own decisions and find peace in them. Spend your time with happiness, love and understanding.

[Radeon]

It's too late. It's stage 4. I have known for a while. I used the cologaurd test to confirm my suspicion. Massive amounts of blood in my stool. Im losing 4lbs a week. I'm not even trying. By my calculations, I have max 6 months. This is not years long thing, they ordered an emergency colonoscopy. Waiting on phone call any minute....

[Franklin]

I'm sorry to hear it and I wish you the best in whatever decisions you choose to make. My grandfather had stage 4 colon cancer when he was 30. He had a colectomy and then lived to be 88 before he died. He had to use a colostomy bag which probably sucked but I never heard him complain because he was always laughing and making jokes. He was also completely deaf, had been since he was twenty, read lips and never learned sign language. Raised six children and ran a small ranch, had a beautiful wife. He was my favorite family member and I miss him and still remember the feel of that bag when I'd hug him and I was sure glad it was there.

[Radeon]

4-5 lbs week. I weigh 316 now. Do the math.....

[Radeon]

My family is having a hard time accepting it. I've accepted it, but they are just now coming to terms with the situation. I don't have much time left..

[Rwise]

Make the most of what time you have left, spend time with family and friends. I have one of those tests here now, did not ask for it and will likely not use it.

[Radeon]

I have no appetite. If I don't eat it's going to happen sooner. I'm wasting away. It's in my bladder. Just informed mom. I know my body. My children are having a hard time. I caught it too late. It's spread to my.lower body. Forcing myself to eat....

[Radeon]

I'm smart. Very smart. It has spread. Incurable...I'm dying....

[Radeon]

Stage 4 bladder cancer
Also called metastatic bladder cancer, the cancer has spread outside the bladder into other areas, such as the abdominal wall, pelvic wall, lymph nodes, bone, lungs, liver, or abdominal lining. Symptoms include tiredness or weakness, pain when urinating, difficulty urinating, pain in the lower back on one side of the body, weight loss, swollen feet, and bone pain. Treatment options depend on the stage and other factors, and may include surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy.

My prayers are with you and your family. I know what it’s like to be in pain every single day, wishing for just one good night of sleep, getting frustrated because nobody really knows all you do just to cope with getting through the day. I wish I had some answers for you, but my prayers are all I have to offer.

Some very nice buds developing here despite higher temps and RH, 23.5⁰C 47%RH. Aiming for 22.5⁰C & about 40%RH but can't get there. EC 1.7/1.8 pH 6.15 to 6.35

I'm pretty chuffed with how this is going given almost zero anything from me re trimming defoliating etc... I just refused to manage that. It's a jungle.



They are still bulking up at a fast pace and hoping that keeps going strong. The plant I cloned all of these from did not bulk up like this. It stretched far too much and it was my first grow of these but the buds were ultra dense and to smoke a very high high, peak high and quickly but great feeling. It smokes great too. Last grow was a 14oz harvest from memory, and this looks better so will find out in a few weeks.
