Man, ok I gotta vent here. After a 3 year pause in growing I decided to get some seeds of some old favorites. I'm in a lame state so getting good nugs is hard. Well I have to tell you that I have had more issues with this ONE fucking grow it is stressing me out! Check out below all that has happened.
1) I decided to go with a 1k light (as opposed to my previous 400) so I bought a complete setup on Amazon. Apollo Hort. The dingleberry that sold it to me ships a 600 and I had to get an RMA to get the right light. This would not normally be an issue except I was gifted 2 clones and them some bitches were getting real big, and I didn't want to dedicate my whole 4x4 tent to them.
2) I had my gear vegging outside and lame assed weather caused some stretch so I had to bring them inside to veg under the 400. I didn't want to run both lights for obvious reasons, but I wasn't about to fuck up my investment.
3) during the first 2 days of flowering the clones a bulb died. So basically 24hrs life on a 24,000hr rated bulb
4) Then a storm came and my sump pump decided to die. Of course my tent is right next to it, and of course it was completely flooded at 2am to the point of ripping out carpet on the finished side of the basement.
5) I had to wake the girls up in the middle of the night and move them outside....stress???
6) While I was still trying to save the carpet I had the other 8 under the 400 in another room until the worries of mold in the carpet crept up in my head. At that point I decided to give up on vegging the 8 any further and just threw them in with the clones. Most are only 8 - 10" tall with 5 - 7 nodes. This is after 1-1/2 mo of veg. WTF. That is some fucking crazy slow growing.
7) Today my wife is bitching "we need to go grocery shopping". I was like "NO let's wait", but I've been married for 10yrs so of course she won. While at the damn store (at some point) a second bulb blew (are you fucking kidding me) so I'm back in the car driving across town to get a third bulb in 2 weeks of use.
Is that not some shit? I just want some nice frosty nuggets and I'm getting shit on.
So I wanted to add a picture of one of the clones. I was told it's White Widow. Look at all of those budsites. I seriously can't do it justice, but there are a TON of budsites on this plant. The branching has been incredible.
Well thanks for listening. Hate to bitch, but sometimes ya gotta. Hope yours is better than mine
