How on earth did I miss this?sad update..
I've cried this afternoon like I haven't cried since I was a kid.
I'm going through a separation, and I'm going to a new house.. A smaller place, with no possibility of growing...
Today I had to kill off my precious seedlings..
I've been learning to grow some pretty nice weed grow after grow, and this time had a magical feel about it. It has been spoiled...
I've snapped out of it, and I know that in my near future I'll find a way to make it all work out. But damn...
I hadn't felt so many deep crushing emotions so fast.. Leaving your partner, and destroying your precious little early crop was just numbing.
Enjoy your crops guys, because I recognise the love, the dedication, the time we put into our loved little plants is a powerful force in our lives, and in the lives of others...
I just lost my favourite zen place, and it hurt like a motherfuckingbitch.
Fat tears. Real rolling tears.
And I can't wait to sow some new beans real soon...
Expect me.
How on earth did I miss this?
Well, shit Bro, I will now catch up and then will see how it lies.
I sure hope that you are on a new thread already!
It does happen. It will make you stronger.

P.S. OK, you are on track. :0) I will have to slow down and read some. lol
Ooooh! I LOVE that!!Looks great jade! One of my grows is similar in size, its a keg fridge lol inside is about 20"x20" also running led. Im subbed!
That was 52 days from seed day 31 of flower,Ooooh! I LOVE that!!
Such eye candy!
What strain is it? and how long has it been running??
Looks lush! Can't wait to see late bloom flowers! keep us updated on that!That was 52 days from seed day 31 of flower,
JIG!! hahaha I'm so glad you caught up on this, I was considering leaving a message for you to check the update on RIU!@Jad3 and @Javadog .... two of my favorite people. Good to see you both again.
I didn't know you were still growing Jad3. I am still at it as well. I got a horribly late start this year, but the girls still turned out ok. Smell is amazing... if the breeze is right maybe you can smell them there, lol. I'm jealous of the 12 weeks from germination. I'm at around week 21 from germination and think I have about 4 weeks left. I didn't have to spend any money on them though, so that's good. Recycled soil, left over nutrients, and lots of sun does wonders. I wish I would have started them earlier though, and taken better care of them. Oh well. They should last me until next years harvest, so that's what matters I guess. Bigger is not always better.
I'm glad the little tent worked for you as always. And just let me know if you'd like a seed or two.
Your pretty much looking at it i pulled it right on the nose of 60 days, (was aseed given to me from a non growing friend) all i was told was it was a lemon autoflower. I liked how it started flowering at 21 days so i bred it to my big male and i think that cut down my nug size alot. Smells of grapefruit and sweet and sour sauce lol. I would have left it a bit longer but it was going rootbound and yellowing more earlier than i would have liked. I think itll still pull atleast an ounce tho.Looks lush!

Love it, have you smoke tested it?Your pretty much looking at it i pulled it right on the nose of 60 days, (was aseed given to me from a non growing friend) all i was told was it was a lemon autoflower.

Working with the sun.....very cool. Iwill want to do that eventually.@Jad3 and @Javadog .... two of my favorite people. Good to see you both again.

Cross it make your own strain!- NEW GROW ALERT -
so, a little backstory... This summer I went on summer vacation to the African island country of São Tomé with my girlfriend.
Upon arrival I cornered this tour guide guy and asked him straight to his face, where can we get some nice bud around here? haha (he looked horrified by my direct aproach)
Next day I had a crumpled up piece of paper with some nice buds in it (great chill and dreamy smoke) with QUITE A BIT of alright looking SEEDS!!
Long story short, as soon as I got back I sowed some of the best looking seeds from the S. Tomé landrace and nothing happened. Forgot about it. A few days later I stumbled uppon my germination container and there was this little guys poking it's head!
So, the only one that survived was this one, and now I'm afraid it's going to be a male, but let's see...
I say this because it's growing VIGOROUSLY and males are known for growing out faster than females... let's wait and check on it....
Going to grow it out nice and slow and big. Veg it out for a while and mainline it to 8 full looking branches.
PLEASE CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR GIRL POWER!!!

So, the first topping was done early on, as soon as I had micro nodes growing on the 3 fingered true leafs.
Also, I realised there were actually some extra growth nodes on the COTYLEDON level! One even broke the cotiledon in half and grew through it!
Crazy! Never saw this happen before!
By now I've removed all the other new grow nodes from the seedling appart fram the 2 main node stems. As soon as I get some new micro nodes growing on these I'll top again for fase 2 of mainlining, and 4 main heads.
Expect updates soon.
But really guys, PLEASE HOPE FOR VAGINAS.
(my hopes are not high though...)
allthebest,
Jad3
