A Cannabinerd's Journey

NY sounds like LA on a corrupt politicians scale...
Yea it's "old school" politics but of the 7 convicted so far all are from NYC, Long Island area,
Hubris at it's best, they were indignant about being caught like how dare the feds arrest me, and then
they filled for their retirement right after they were busted. Fortunately the last two had their assets frozen
until fines are levied,
I worked for the state for 26 yrs. and I've been loving every minute of this.

:peace:

I'm with ya there! The only people that wanted Cuomo in office was the city area, while most of upstate wanted nothing to do with him. His policies hurt upstate and have almost crippled the area.

Thought you'd like this pic :D

I have yet to try some supercropping...might give it a go this round. ATB!
It's definitely worth getting into, one of the better training techniques that I use regularly :)

Just supercropped a couple branches on south african kwazulu few days ago. Got knuckles already
Hells yeah, I love when those knuckles swell up, I don't think I could grow a sativa Dom with out doing it :)

Well I got the ghostriders into flower tonight. 8 of them and 1 sour power OG x Chem. Got thinking about needing clones soon.. And duh, I had 10 plants in the tray lol, so I took a couple small ones off the other 8 ghostriders and then took about 12 killer monster ghostriders off the spare plant. Already have a rooted sour power growing nice so figured that could make the 9th plant since they're all the same size. So now I have about 18 cuts in the cloner for the next round :D

And here's a little lesson about light burn and bleaching. I guess some strains tolerate light differently which I didn't really know until today. 1 sour power that's directly under the new bulb is light green and the kushberry branches under the light are doing the same while the gg4 are just loving it lol. I raised the light now so hoping the light bleaching stops

Your plants look so good.
I'm growing my first sativa (lambsbread) and topped the growing stems to control stretch and get
some good clones, it worked well the plant has stopped at about 40". I do want to learn to supercrop
so I can get into some landrace sativa's like malawi or kwazulu the African sativa's are killer.
:peace:

Thanks for the gems again.. I'm using your pool shock awesome results leaving the cloner on 24/7 more and faster root growth! Do you veg in 1 gallon pots then transfer to your ebb and gro? Also how hi do you flood in your table?

Thanks bro! 40" for Lambsbread is a perfect height imo, I think 4' max is definitely best for indoor considering light penetration diminishes so fast. Those land races would be awesome, I hear they can get to like 15' tall lol, I think it would be manageable with a big trellis though and for sure supercropping helps a lot. I use a sharpie marker and put the stem between my finger and the sharpie and squeeze, this pretty much will save people from squeezing too much and breaking the stem. It's a little trick I picked up from @Aeroknow and it works perfectly

You're welcome, No problem at all! I have started vegging in 1 gallons. I've tried smart pots and they didn't work as well but they still worked ok, but the mesh bottom 1 gallon pots are perfect size for a flood tray so I can veg a bunch of plants in a small area and get them ready to flower in another flood tray or the ebb buckets. Works like a charm! I flood the tray as high as I can, about 3.5-4". I can only veg so high due to my reservoir not holding enough water to flood any higher, but 4" is about 1" from the top so it works out great

Almost time to chop the glue, another week or so. Can't wait to trim this batch, it'll be so damn easy compared to this nightmare of gdp lol they're at 8 full weeks

The ebb buckets are growing like madness, I think they're almost done stretching, very happy with the canopy this time :) running the 50/50 mix of maxigrow and bloom seems to be the winning ticket. They're at 3 full weeks

The last batch of glue cuts are doing well and should be ready to flower in a week or two.

The glue s1 babies got moved to the flood tray. There's one that is standing out to me already. It's the biggest one, most nodes, just looks nice for a seedling. High hope as usual, just hope they let me down gently lol

GG4 Looks great, I can't wait 'till they become available commercially.
Smoked some from CO but it was cut too early.

:peace:
So many people cut glue way too early, it looks done at 7 weeks but it's not even close, 9 weeks minimum imo, 10 weeks is more stoney but the thc degrades by then, but for me, I love degraded thc, helps me sleep :)

People would be surprised what plants can usually take. I split 1 at the manifold pulling it down too far then just lifted it together and tied some red flagging tape around it. 3 days later healed and knuckle created allowing more flow through

Thanks bro! And not a problem, super crop the hell out of that glue! You're gonna love the cut, it's so hardy and grows like a beast. Make sure to always use stakes or a trellis because the limbs are pinner
