It just occurred to me that my pot and bowl is in my tool room and my grow space is next to tool room. So everytIme I need a tool I take a toke or two then might as well check plant while I'm here then... what was I doing?? Oh yeah, then just one more toke before tackling project... loving...

I love the old saying that "there is no such thing as a stupid question... it's just stupid people asking questions"! So here goes... in the defoliating debate, some say that leaves are the engine that drives a plant, which makes sense to me. However, if I remove all fan leaves won't the sugar...

Made my morning visit and trimmed more leaves and a couple of suckers. She has filled up my grow space so I can't turn her or I would have trimmed more! Can't get to back of plant although that may not be a bad thing!! All and all I am pleased with this grow. Now it is a waiting game for buds to...

Week 4 of flower and I know what's coming... waiting, watching, waiting... Still trying to figure what fan leaves and suckers to remove and when. Trying not to make same mistake that I did last grow with defoliating. I know I should have removed lower suckers on this plant but I just couldn't do...

Kinda feel like George when he got out of the pool everytime I post photos of my grow. I'm just an old retired guy, growing one plant at a time to give me something to do and to save a little money! 😉 I'm sure as hell not gonna stop smoking pot after 50 years and I am pleased with this grow...

Thinking about growing a couple of autos and looking for recommendations from folks that have grown them. While I like more of a sativa high and friends have been very impressed with my product, I am looking for a high yield, high THC auto for times (and friends) that prefer couchlock. Leaning...

Trying to encourage flower strech this grow because I had zero strech last grow. Defoliated the week before light switch and trying to hold off defoliating again until day 21 of flower. She stretched 3" this past week! Hadn't noticed how dark lower part of plant was until I took this photo...

I just got my 315 a week ago and must expand my grow space for more height before I can start using it but got no growing info with light and can't find answers online. Got a couple of questions for folks that have been using 315's. With seedings and early veg, do you turn down the ballast power...

Got a call from my old dealer yesterday. She said she had four different strains available. I just said I was good for now. Didn't say I was growing my own! Oh what a feeling!!! 😎

Pretty happy with first week of flower light switch. Already seeing some strech. Gonna wait at least two more weeks before I do anymore trimming. I've been wondering if trimming early in flower stunts strech while plant recovers. Lime green color coming from 2800k lamps I switched for flower...

Just a "recheck" on who's here. Got a helluva buzz going so please excuse the ramble... who remembers popping quaaludes like skiddels, or LSD in an eyedropper on sugar cubes??? Summer of love people, please respond... seems so long ago... "the times they are a changing"

My last couple of grows have been AK-48 from Nirvana and they really do smell like cat piss, especially during flower. I have seen comments from others that mention cat piss smell. I even went so far as to ask Nirvana about it and got a rather curt response to "keep my litter box out of grow...

Damn... Spousal Unit just booked vacation around the same time as anticipated harvest! She doesn't smoke anymore because weed is too strong but understands that after damn near 50 years of smoking, I ain't stopping but at the same time I'm not about to say "I can't go"!!! I'll just have to wait...

I did it! Finally put myself out of misery and ordered my 315 LEC!!! All in cost was $365. About $150 cheaper than local hydro store. Now I just need to finish this grow and expand grow space so I can fire up my new toy!!! Okay Green75 and LuckyAcres, this is all your fault! 😂

Wanted to veg for 8 weeks this grow before light switch. Trimmed her yesterday and going to wait a couple of days before I cut off all lower fan leaves and open up middle some more. Then wait a couple more days before light switch on week 8. She is flat as a tabletop so I'm hoping for big streach!!

I am totally wacked about defoliating, so here goes. Please be kind... "there is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people asking questions"! After trying my hand at defoliating last grow and reading Sirius's tutorial in this week's newsletter, I am just as confused as ever. A...

Growing with soil in a container that is about the size of a 5 gallon bucket, maybe a touch larger. I watered yesterday morning and noticed this morning that soil felt like she could use more already. Plant is 6 1/2 weeks in veg and I have never had to water daily before on other grows. I am...

Spousal Unit is out of town for a girls weekend so I spent some time this morning with the other lady in my life. Gave her a good trim getting ready for light switch in another week or so. It's funny how everyone says to watch plants and they will let you know if you've been naughty or nice...

Was doing a little trimming and thought of you, 9fingers! 😄

For all new growers, I would strongly suggest keeping a weekly photo log as well as a journal. When you are checking your babies on a daily basis it's hard to tell how much they grow weekly and you can use the photo log as a gauge on future grows.
