simply put...its a seed. you drop it in soil. it grows. its god given. a medical miracle.

i dont mess with it, i dont alter it, i dont add other things to it, i dont cut it with anything (hence...alcohol and cigarettes? Look at the ingredients in THEM sometime, OMG)....its a SEED. IT GROWS~ just like tomatoes, or basil, garden flowers, or friggin lettuce. What if i want to smoke my dried parsley? someday if someone finds that smoking parsley causes a certain effect is some tight ass politician going to start a campaign and push a law that we cant have/grow that too???

pisses me off. free country my ass.
Well...

Exactly.

It's only a free country if we keep telling them to fucking leave us alone!

I trimmed and jarred up my crop today. Last crop I ended up with 10 one quart mason jars and about 10 oz cured. This run i have 15 full jars, but the nugs seem denser.

About a pound. ;) j/k, won't know for a few weeks, but still not bad for a 3x3 tent, 3 plants, and ~ 300 watts of led light.
300 wall watts hon?

Yup. A GE Kill-A-Watt meter and a variable power supply (driver) as my witness. ;)

Two QB-288 Quantum boards and an hlg-320-2800c driver. Plus about 60 watts of xm-l2 led's..
I would love to eventually go COB, but dont have the $$ yet. I do however, have a KILL A WATT meter, just got it online from amazon. great way to keep track of exactly what my grow is using :-) For now I just have my babies under 2 42w 6500K cfl's, top fed. then at day 20 they will go into the autopot watering system, each under her own LED. (about 120 true watts each) I just dont like putting babies under LED. I see more growth at that stage under close CFL's.

I saw this on someones lawn for sale, and stopped to see what it was, and how much they wanted. (of course, my mind is always in “grow” mode!) it is a fixture from his mancave with (2) brand new GE 40w 6500K 48” 2900lumen fluorescent bulbs in it. I paid $10.00 bucks! :-) May be good for a little veg lighting, or putting over my new grow work station down in my basement.

I've seen that you can buy a T5 replacement bulb made with LED's. Supposed to be better than a T5. Your fixture is probably for a T12, so I'm not sure if it would be a direct replacement, but you can try to find them and see.

Edit: Here is one: https://www.greenledzone.com/3-500-lumens-led-t5-tube-24w-5000k-frost-ballast-compatible-type-a-direct-replacement-tube-requires-no-rewiring-replaces-f54t5ho-fluorescent-tubes-24t5-led-ho-48-5000-if-10-1/?gclid=CjwKCAjwrO_MBRBxEiwAYJnDLGlb02p6sW8URpKG5spNrHforCwRi-ElrFN_bYuNQ3yRXjNHApgjPxoCnt8QAvD_BwE

Second Edit: You can buy T12 LED replacements as well. Here is one, but it isn't a grow light spectrum - you have to search a bit.. https://www.amazon.com/Hyperikon-Dual-End-Installation-equivalent-2200Lumens/dp/B00SSNPBD2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1503415011&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=4ft+led+t12&psc=1

Or even a pool table...

Getting ready to move the next set into the big tent. The 4 on the right are Ocean Grown ninja fruit, the 4 on the left are bodhi ssdd clones I took from a mom that got too big. I guess I'm still shell shocked from my clone ineptness so I took five to get one. Four made it. Go figure.

I hate throwing out healthy plants so either I'll give 3 away or make my next run all ssdd. I can be convinced to give them a good home though, I really want to grow a 1:1 cbd strain next (either pennywise or quirkle from TGA). I got 4 ounces a plant off the 2 I grew in this round, and they were VERY frosty, so it's a good strain to have.

This run will be all ninja fruit (ocean grown seeds). And yes, I did have a gnat problem that I think method 1 has pretty much knocked down. I'll hit them with spinosad if they don't go away completely.

First world problems. ;)

Harvested the 'Sour Piff' which is some random thing. It never really stretched in flower, which sucked. The buds are dense, but still only came out with 8oz on 420watts. ): Womp womp. Doing my last Nirvana seeds run ever, because... well, tons of experienced growers telling me they are crap and my own findings. They CAN do well, but... so many other things do so much better. I am getting some blotches, which looks like a P deficiency? What do you think?

I'm probably the last guy you want diagnosing leaf issues, but if you've ruled out bugs, that would be my next guess. A little pk boost probably won't hurt.

Well, as it turns out, someone in my family has tinnitus. Nothing debilitating, just driving them crazy, which isn't a far ride in this case. ;)

There isn't a cure, and the person doesn't smoke/drink/use caffein (three big contributors), but one of the treatments is a high CBD indica strain. That seals it. I'm going to grow pennywise after the ninja fruit. It is ~ 15% CBD and an indica leaning hybrid.

So I have 3 healthy sunshine daydream clones that need a new home. I'll keep one for a mom, but the others will be gifts. I can't offer directly since that would violate riu rules, but you can get clever if you want.

Oh, also, the nf girls have new shoes! Still need some cleanup and have to figure out a trellis, plus training, but they look happy.

My wife has this. This disease is no joke. It scares me to know how many have committed suicide. People with this need lots of support and understanding for their grumpy moods.

I have read this in many places. It is true that my wife prefers High CBD strains. She also uses masking sounds just to get some relief. Once she found her frequency she was able to find sounds easier.

Here is a pic of one of my new gorilla babies. They all had very long stems when they popped out of the Coco 2 weeks ago. Once I turned my cobs up to full power and maximum distance they stopped stretching. I don't know why they're growing so slow. I lowered the light a little bit. Giving a little more feed. Good thing I have a lot of time to Veg it.

my brother has that! along with his familiar tremors he has already reached crazy. drives him NUTZ. High CBD they say. I made some cannabis choco chip cookies that knocked him flat on his butt for hours. First time in years his tremors and ear ringing was managable, i was so proud of myself!!!!!! Thats the name of the game for me...since i don't smoke or ingest, to make others feel better. worth a million bucks to me. what a rush.

My mom has it also, real bad. I gave her a cannabis "capsule" that a friend gifted to me and she was relaxed in her chair with no head ringing for hours. thanks AXLE!!!!!
