My palms are drenched just watching that!! Are you in there or is this random footage?
Any other parts of your anatomy moist at the thought of having a SHITLOAD of fun??:P

Nah, I'm not in that, I found it whilst reminiscing on a Friday night but it has some good footage & gives a perspective of the speed involved. When there's no cloud around, it's just like floating/flying in a big wind. Very serene, actually & not as "Dangerous" as people think. The most dangerous part of skydiving is the drive to the drop zone. NO shit!

You want footage with me actually in it? I mean like NAKED & everything??? Ma'am, please! My modesty wouldn't allow it (but I'll see if I can rustle-up some archaic footage for you........;)).

Yes as a matter of fact and embarrassingly so! ...my feet LOL:oops:. Such a yucky feeling my stomach starts flipping and hands and feet start tingling and sweat.

And yes, would definitely like to watch footage of u doing it .. :P lol.. completely clad will suffice tho;)

Pineapple @4wks. Have been away for a while so will have to wait til lights off for some frosty shots. EFB5D519-1A71-4205-8EDE-A6775FC98783.jpeg

Not quite filling the area but like I said @Rewerb first time and the scrogging should have started during veg.
Not sure if I’d do it again yet. .

you are a awesome grower, well done !

can i suggest a few things, remove the netting. bend those stems by crushing with your thumb and finger the stem 1/3 the way on the stem, so if your plant is 30 cm you start bending at 10cm, crush lightly first the stem, soften it up then bend the tip towards the soil, by crushing the stem first , softening it by lightly crushing the stem, it wont snap after this, it will lift its self towards the light over the next day and heal stronger , bend every stem so at the end its pointing down, i know it seems harsh but the plants will be fine ,they will heal and lift themselves in a day or 2, the reason for this is it affects hormones (auxins mostly but a few others)in the plant a bit like tipping a plant in veg, after you have done this apply a strong potassium silicate water, triple strength. i like Flairforms Silikamagic, this will harden the stems. you will gain around 15% extra yield if not more, and much more potency. keep bending the stems down every 5 days, using the same method, without touch the white hairs of the flower, crushing the stems works much like girdling of fruit in a orchard. and you expose more of the bud to the light. in the last week stop bending, bending should start in veg.
also remove half of the fan leaves the ones with stems, the ones at the very top not the bottom , preferably this is done on the flip to 12/12.

your grow looks great. If you use potassium silicate you will not need support to carry heavy buds

Wow shit, ok, thank you. Although I have to say I’m a very keep it simple grower.

bit of a let down though.
" allows Canberrans over 18 to possess 50 grams of cannabis and grow two plants"

My uncle was caught with an ounce in the ACT last year or the year before and ended up being fined all of $7, with the judge instructing the police officers to not waste his time again.
Better the nothing though we need to start somewhere

not a bad first attempt. My attempt at a scrog wasnt perfect either but the yield worked well. Give it another go and keep em in veg until the net is full and then keep em srogged till stretch finishes. Those squares in the net may be a tad big to, looks to be more of a support net rather than a scrog net. Beats burning and panicking cause the plants are to big...
Give it another run and i bet u nail it.

im happy for it to just be like the ACT was. Decriminalized federally and a small fine if caught. Keeps the prices up and any kind of legit retail outlets out.
I can see it ending up a state by state thing. Federal would be amazing just a long shit imo. I think Canberra will be a test because of the small population, easier to fix the problems that arise before it’s rolled out federally. I also think Qld will be the weak link in the chain of getting it passed federally. They don’t like change daylight savings scared em LoL.

My local hydro sells the same netting stuff I thought about using it. I’ll order ones for my tent instead with 100mm squares clips on the poles you’d know ones.
@Venus55 you could just overlap the netting to get smaller squares net time

Ive heard this "test case" a bit the last few days but when the ACT decriminalized it decades ago the other states didn't follow suite. So im not reading to much into it.
Qld, NSW, Vic earn to much from drug testing drivers and WA is just 30 years behind...

Yeah fucking drug tests no opioids on the fucking thing though can’t upset the drug companies.
I think a lots happened in the last 10 years hopefully we aren’t to far behind (I may be dreaming)
