Thanks ojh 😉.

Few pics of not gc photos lights are off but there is still a little light coming in. They smell a little like gg#4 aside from the Skywalker that smells like fruity pebbles 😆. Skywalker left front, all others unknown lmao. Thanks Seedsman. I knew I would be low on smoke, waiting on my shop for another 6 weeks so add another 3-6 weeks for cure time. I'm stretching it thin with my mj but it's mostly been used for trade for my equipment. Instead of spending cash I'm more than happy to trade as long as it keeps me growing 😉.

I like that idea trading for stuff thats how everything was done a hundred years ago (no I was not there lol)

 

[Chefbjy]

Hey ojh I know right? The wife thinks it's a great idea too. Even though we have to dip into our personal stash, it's better then dipping into our pockets 😉.

Well it wouldn't be MY grow if there weren't training mistakes (facepalm). Gave a haircut to the 2 bushy ladies, did some supercropping and lst to the leggy one, and snapped a main stem in half trying to spread one out. 😥 She's taped up now but I'm going to have to get some grafting tape or something that will expand when the stem begins to swell. It was inevitable that I screw something up. Hopefully she heals well 😢. How upsetting. This might change the way my tent fills out 😟.

Guess it's a good thing I got a couple clones. Getting some more supplies to take a few more. Thinking I'll clean out the veg room to make room for them, and take the cuttings Wednesday. There's a pic of a fimd top growing a leaf from the center in there.

Kicking myself in the arse for breaking that girl, she is a favorite. The healthiest and hardiest one I had to snap in half, fml. These past couple weeks have been a real drag for me and this makes me feel worse. Oh well, good thing I got other seeds, clones, and plants going on or I'd really be giving myself a lashing. Pictures are before the break. This month has gotten the better of me and I hope things turn around for me. May all of you have a better week then mine has started out. ✌

I did the same thing to a GC branch a few days ago. Taped up and still going strong. It will be fine 😁 your month is like my life. Happy growing

 

[Chefbjy]

Lol RosettaStoned I was just texting my wife fml. I've come to realize no matter how hard I try I end up f@$king 💩 up. She helps me see past the negetive and focus on the positive 😉. If only I had that mentality all the time 😆. I'm always chomping at the bit knowing 💩 happens and its usually to me. ✌

 

[Redwasp]

Chef I wouldnt worry a bit. Everyone calls me the bionic man. Because apparently I like to get hurt but cant be killed. I've got metal and fake parts in half my body lmao but not a joke. And I keep going. Plants dont care if a part breaks off. They grow another one.

 

[Chefbjy]

Yeah I've had this happen before but it was 4-5 weeks before harvest and my first grow. She ended up being my best plant and the reason I continued to grow. Ended up with some big over dried but killer buds. Had electrical tape on it and never took it off till about 2 weeks before harvest. It healed but still needed to be held together by tape. It's been a few hours now she looks good and I untied the branches to relieve pressure.

 

[Chefbjy]

Note to self...always top higher then where you think you should top 😆

 

[Canuck147]

Before you attempt to bend your next stem - find the area you are going to bend and massage the area between you thumb and forefinger. This way the planned area for bending won't snap or pinch. She will come around - had one plant fall off its riser and laid on my best plant overnight, lots of bent branches, nothing broken and by the end of the day both plants were standing straight up.

 

[Chefbjy]

Canuck147 I was just tightening the tie that was already there. I should have just went closer to the top and made a new bend then tied it down.

 

[oldjarhead100]

Chefbjy weve all done that I dont think ive had a grow where I didn't at least break one branch it does freak you out and its definitely a WTF moment but thats all it is a moment . I had a outside plant get laid on by a Moose it was flat as a pancake I just straightened it as best I could and she didnt miss a beat lol

 

[Chefbjy]

So I'm pretty sure the reason they look like they've been through a battle is because of my top dressing and feed regime meant for a photoperiod veg. They aren't pretty but they got some big nugs forming. Buds smell good but this grow costed me big time. Still I'm glad I didn't cull them.

[No message]

 

[RosettaStoned]

Yeah buddy 🤘

 

[Chefbjy]

The plant I broke is showing some strong lady parts already. I'm debating on sticking the mh back in since I can't find a breeder height on the dgth. Maybe I should try to contact rare dankness and see if I can get some better specs on the strain. The stretch always has me concerned when growing indoors 😉.

 

[Redwasp]

Do you have any leds. Hps with leds stay short from what I've experienced

 

[Redwasp]

Here watering these now and that's what I ran. Hps led

 

[Chefbjy]

No leds but I might raise lights out temps, I think I'll switch out to mh before lights on today. The leggy one is really making me rethink my pruning. I keep supercropping her but she just bounces back with more shoots. They're all getting a little unruly 😆.
