Tika Were all of your interceptions done at the Los Angeles customs office? Mine were. There is a gung ho customs officer working there. I can give you his badge number. oldjarhead100 may be lucky in that regard as his shipments may be coming in through an east coast office. oldjarhead100 have you ever had a customs interception?

 

[Spidermite]

As far as I know we have very few if any coming through the east coast getting snagged.

starramus yup-LA. They send the “stealth” packaging tho. Last one was a wad of tangled pink synthetic yarn. Someone is getting PAID to do that shit...rip apart a little mailer..take my whopping 10 seeds, and reshuffle the yarn & mail it.
I like the full on assortment from Seedsman but I’d have to order 6 months in advance- planning on my order getting yanked- to make my germination dates😖

Ive had great luck with haze.io seeds

Bait wrapped in a leaf????? Everyone in my family loves sushi, I will catch it and "clean" it, but it has to visit a frying pan before I will eat it

 

[Tika]

RagWeedDWC I LOVE sashimi...especially octopus properly done...scallops, salmon, tuna...not mackerel 🥴

The line up of the tent at week 6 Completed in flower and champing at the bit 2 or 3 more weeks to go over all...now watching pistils curl, change color, trichomes clouding and some amber WTF and bling. Getting my usual white caps. Will do another post of bud shots.. after this.
the DoubleCookiexPurpleWizard will have small buds but they will be tight. MerlinsRide...bushy girl...same. JockHorror bigger buds ( an old seed ) ...my sativa generally stash. Jack Herer...new to me has a great aroma. Purple Moby Dick...is a dick of a seed...can’t wait to get it outside. The most temperamental seed I have ever done! Funny as the documentation doesn’t say is humidity dependent. Will be huge, supply nutes, yamity yamity
Chopped one...if you can’t roll with the flow you are outa here. Still hanging onto 2 for outside.
All in all good...eager to hang the drying net and clean my snips in anticipation. That’s how I keep my shit together and not harvest too soon. We are gratefully in a warm spell with low humidity...perfect for the tent.
Right hand (and eye) dominant but use my left hand plenty for much including harvest... has an arthritic issue ( do you think at my age) anyway the left is what holds the stick for trim... so saw a Doc who actually recommened CBD cream...needles to say I launched a bit.
thanks for your ear as always...posting the line up then trichome shots...the PMD can earn its pissyass residence or not.
If I duplicated again...sorry
bling shots coming🤓

 

[Tika]

The bud and the bling from the Honeysticks. Jocjbandcjackbbigger but no bling yet

 

[oldjarhead100]

no I have never had a confiscation it does sound like you have a gung ho worker

 

[oldjarhead100]

Tika your grows are always great and I see why your meticulous in keeping your work,grow area spotless .with a dirt floor my attitude is why bother lol.

Tika I had an employee who had a real bad arthritic toe and by noon time he would be limping everyday .I was packed for a powwow and went to the van and got him some Nettle to make a tea out of it the next Monday he asked if he could get more .said it was the first time in years that it didn't hurt all day , so if you know what it looks like Stinging Nettle pick some if not grab some at a health food store that carries herbs ,and see if it helps with the hand so you can be really happy growing lol

 

[oldjarhead100]

very very nice, do you have a light mover or just like the white tops ,I keep my light mover a lot closer than I would if it was stationary if it burns them Ill back off but so far so good

 

[starramus]

My wife grows nettles. You don't want to make a mistake ,and touch the damn things. Better to wear gloves. An interesting bit of trivia. The ancient song Itchycoo Park is based upon nettles. "A number of sources claim the song's name is derived from the nickname of Little Ilford Park, on Church Road in the London suburb of Manor Park, where Small Faces' singer and song-writer Steve Marriott grew up. The "itchycoo" nickname is, in turn, attributed to the stinging nettles which grew there." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14ViwvgtvbA

 

[Tika]

Thank you oldjarhead100. The boys used to chase us with nettles..learned how to run fast! Also OJH yes I ratchet rope my lights up and down. I keep them a little low over top buds as I want the light to get to the mid range buds as well.
starramus that isn’t too ancient of a historical fact...I remember it well😜

 

[LurkingInTheGrass]

white tops, are from her Platinum LED

 

[Tika]

This morning flash shots at lights on time. Now to feed, bathe/groom the dogs...and clean house🙃
have a great day folks🌝

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Struggling to find words, but awesome grow. Gives me something to achieve

 

[Tika]

Very kind of you to say RagWeedDWC. A pretty “pedestrian “ grow compared to most folk. I only changed my process once (fancy & nutrients nutrients with a whole lot of shaking)...totally disappointing. Other than that just keep on foloweing the original GWE program with the addition of Liquid Kool Bloom and LED lights ( from original HPS). Experience is the great teacher. How long and in what situation have you been growing?

 

[Tika]

YUP @LurkinginTheGrass...if I avoided white caps all my other bud sites would be compromised (I think). Supposed to be 18” above canopy- it’s so when I begin flower-the canopy being even. Even with LST there are escapees for whom I don’t compromise the entire grow. Do my best to ensure everyone catches some good rays.🤗🤓🤗

One more...got sticky face! DoubleCookiexWizardPunch ( black leaf) with at least 2 more weeks to go. “Little but Mighty”
