A Cannabinerd's Journey

Wow bro, I'm just blown away, you just go from strength to strength!

Much appreciate that bro! I'm just following the path that's the easiest for me, something I can keep consistent this routine work the rockwool has been the easier ever, except the prep part sucks. But other than that, I find it so versatile.

My secret for transplanting the ez cloner clones in to the rockwool is black gold soil. Shush, don't tell anyone lol. But, for real, once the clones root in my cloner, I plant them I'm the rockwool using the black gold soil, spritz the soil down with some tap water to wet it, then they just explode! I'm pretty sure I invented it because everyone that uses rockwool thinks I'm crazy for putting dirt in the cube lol. But the jokes on them because I get roots busting out of the block in 24-36hrs many more experiments to come

I planted this last night, black gold ftw!

Well whatever you are doing mate, keep doing it because it's working bloody wonders

That's a good tip with the black soil, I've done it in a previous grow and got laughed at so never did it again ha ha. Glad to see it working for you too

He makes it look easy huh @eastcoastmo . Always looks on point. I know you have your issues just like everyone does, but you certainly maintain shit

Agreed man, 100% agreed! He makes it look easy. Him and flowamasta make it look way too easy

The black gold soil and rockwool is like magic! It confuses people adding dirt to inert media, but that organic boost for rooting from the soil is gold, black gold!

And it's only easy when it's not hard lol. I've had such a Rollercoaster ride this year with all the issues, I'm just happy things are going OK. I know there will be more hurdles but that's why I love growing, it's never the same grow, there's always something to learn. Now I know the symptoms of what different virus or diseases look like, I know what bugs do (never had the bugs I have seen since I moved to ca from NY). It really comes down to reading the plants and catching early signs of something wrong and taking the proper route to fix it. Check the plants daily, hang some yellow sticky cards by the garden to spot a problem before it starts, etc. Cull anything that is funky (that is a huge factor for me, the dud crap that I went through, I culled so many plants even if they looked OK, if they had something wierd they were gone) and now everything is clean. Took 4 months to complete but I won't let it happen again.

No more taking in outside clones, no more using equipment that had plants with a problem unless it's nuked with bleach. Clean my clone gear like the scissors and pumps with bleach. And again, kill any funky plant. I haven't had funky plant in a while now and have healthy black lime, bubba, animal cookies, mendo Breath, dosido, Tahoe og, blue petrol og and a couple more. I'm good for a while now

That's exactly why I grow from seed or take my own clones. I know I'm missing out
on some great strains but I only take clones from people I trust and from indoor grows.
Glad to see you on your game, it's a pleasure to see your grows and setups.

Thanks brother, and bugs are no joke! I'll be keeping my distance from new gear for a while and most likely be popping new seeds soon as well

Hope everyone has a nice and safe independence day weekend!

It was the choperooni day for me, it's not looking too shabby! Got 3 of those monsters plus another 9 decent sized girls, the best part, 7 different strains to smoke on now! Ill be doing this more often, at least 1 light, of assorted flavors, mono cropping sucks lol

Next batches are dosido / animal cookies, the the other batch is black lime, animal and mendo Breath. But I have some new babies vegging up, can't wait to flower the animal pie and gg4 x sherbert never again will it be 1 strain, neverrrrrr, it's much more fun with all sorts of different stuff

Any time brother, any time at all

Hey yall just popping in to say what's up! Our offer was accepted on another house today, hoping things go smooth this time. I'm not worried about the inspections this time because it was only built 10 years ago and there is no well, it has public water (and it's only a few miles down the road so it'll be an easy transition using the same water for growing I use now )

Only issue is I think it has leased solar. There was nothing in the listing or in our contract that said leased, but my agent said it was, he thinks. Should get the disclosures soon since the seller isn't stupid and has been actually getting back to us in a timely Manor lol.

Anyway, He also said that the seller could try to transfer the loan. Now the panels are less than a year old, so that would mean a 19 year lease with a lien on the property (never lease solar, they fuck you with this lien crap).. I don't want to do the lien. No way.

So does anyone know if you have a solar lien, do you have to settle in full before selling the house or can the seller try to transfer the lien to the buyer?

I've heard it has to be paid off before closing by the seller and I heard they can transfer, or can they do both?

On another note, I'm almost 5 weeks into flower and going to flower out 1 more batch of just animal cookies in a 4x4 tray under my regular hps tomorrow gonna use the drip system with the Hugo rockwool blocks this time. They're 15" tall so I think they're about perfect size for the flip. Topped them once and super cropped them once, I'll also flower out 1 animal pie that is shorter, but not topped or super cropped, so it should be about the same height I hope after stretch. Haven't flowered her out so hopefully she's good.

Oh, and fucking A! Double ended lights fellas! Can't even believe the difference they make, the DE plants have about 4x the size of buds at the same days into flower. I can't wait to play with these for the next run in a month or so with the drip system!

Here's the animal cookies ready for flip (this was a couple days ago)


And here's a glue bud from the last harvest, that glue plant was Hella different, love it! Trimmed so easy but I didn't take clones

Shit sorry for rambling lol, later yall

 

[Vnsmkr]

Awesome deal on the house brother. I am not sure on the solar lien, but maybe @Mohican knows? Those babies look really good too and so do those dank ass flowers !

 

[eastcoastmo]

That's fantastic news about the house bro, hope it all goes smoothly from here

Nice work on the cuttings and that glue bud....WOWSERS!! She is FROSSSSSTTY

 

[oldman60]

Good luck Alpha, hope all goes well.
