Afternoon folks
After a truly cataclysmic, almost biblical battle with spider mites and personal issues piling up that needed addressing I shut down for several months. Now like an early morning raider approaching Lindisfarne, I am back.
So, stocks are low and I have therefore chosen 2 of my fav`s. Both are very good for my headspace. I don`t recommend this for everyone but I use weed in place of heavy head medications which knock me sideways and these 2 really help keep me level.
I am also moving away during the flowering stage from HPS` to LED`s and have no experience in handling these so it`s going to be a learning curve for me. Special thanks to Spidermite for some excellent practical advice on how to handle them (Thanks mate-really appreciated). I mainly moved away from HPS` due to heat but running cost savings are also going to be a plus.
I do not use plain water but either a plain compost tea or a feed compost tea for either veg or flowering.
Soil-BioBizz + Charge + Volcanic Dust + Perlite
10l or 20l airpots
Veg Tent-400 MH air cooled tube and 1 x 5" extractor. Passive input.
Main Tent- 2 x 1200 Viparspectras, 1 x 6" input, 1 x 6" extractor, 3 oscillating fans + 1 x dehumidifier.
Training-LST, Manifolding, Robust defoliation and Topping
Music-Industrial Metal
Hopefully, this will be better than the last nightmare.

She's at the 67 day mark - didn't stretch as much as I thought she would have - she's at about 18 inches. Looks good tho.
 
She slowed down after topping and never really stretched much after shooting out her pistils. Was a freebie seed so haven't another one to grow and compare.
 
Well, the Curse of the Pagan has reared it`s head again. Started 2 Red Diesels using the wet tissue method. Usually they start strong and vibrant. First one broke the shell and nice tap root which then just went black and died. The second had the palest of those initial little leaves before curling up and calling it a day. So, started third one off. Has sprouted, one leaf and very pale....I shall wait and see how she pans out. In truth I`m surprised as this is rare to have seeds go naff on me from Barneys and it`s strange that all 3 have come out with mega pale leaves that don`t go green quickly either. Only thing I can assume is that it was a duff batch or a little bit too old.
Peyote (Below) on the other hand is doing well. In a 10 l pot for a-whiles and coming along nicely

Hi Pagan, the picture looks similar to me fighting root aphids. Here is a picture of my peyote critical. It went in this container on 5/9. she and I fought a couple battles with root aphids and so far we are winning. She is in first week flower. Already has trichs.

Looking nice Dan. Havent seen you around much lately good to see your still here too. Hopefully no Jurassic Hoppers this year.
 
The grasshoppers are a minor annoyance compared to root aphids. I think my 2 years war with the hoppers is finally being won. There are very few hoppers this year and all are midges no adults. This is a sign that the bio war I have been fighting is starting to show some results.
 
Ordered some fresh Red Diesel seeds only to be told there`s a delay Barney`s end....have them on order so hopefully should be a fresher batch but my little lass is still hanging in there. Took 48hrs but she`s turned green albeit slightly dismembered. Gonna run with her as she`s such a little scaper to have made it this far. Might name her Boudica after the warrior queen

desertdan Bloody hell mate that`s just over 6 foot...that`s taller than me. Man, I`d love to grow outside...well, she`s gonna be a beauty when she finishes mate :)
 
SoOrbudgal I live in hope however the amount of plants I`ve decapitated or dismembered accidentially over the years is truly staggering...still we plod on me and the girls :)
 
PaganRich your baby should pull thru, just fine, she might be a little slower, to start with, but I bet she finishes very nicely.
Have a great weekend, Mate.
Stay Cool ,Bro.
What music are you into at the moment ?
 
D.A.A.S.69 Hey up D mate...cheers for the positive vibes towards the lass, comment wise mate....sounds, well...loads of industrial metal but also bands like the Wipers (Portland punk USA), Revolting Cocks (1980`s), bit of Throbbing Gristle, loads of TripHop but especially Sad Movies track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syUYy4V2YCM
Cocteau Twins and early Cure with a bit of either fire crackling or thunder and lightning or post nuclear howling winds sounds
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZo45IPcBug
Bowie, Dylan, Placebo and Stevie Nicks and a bit of Genesis...I was taught drums by a professional big band drummer and he started me out on the Beatles, Genesis and Rush-not exactly light stuff, my bloody arms were flying everywhere.
What tunes are you hitting mate?
