Best of luck to your plants and your mate
cheers diggsy!

Fingers crossed....ive mentally prepared for the worst...i was showing my mate around and sprayed a load of clones with isopropyl instead of rhizotonic...wasnt very pro looking haha! theyre still alive though...

things should be ok...im a short flight away so if things sound really bad i'll prolly pop back. im not losing that Road Dawg, nope!

hows your garden, man? been a while since ive peeped, need a catch up.

@lukio Do you have remote cameras in the tents to check up on the fly?
i didnt set em up...i made a 250 litre res and set up the ph doser...so all hes gotta do is throw water at em. small plants...should be fiiiiiiiiiiiine. lil worried about the cure on the weed but i ended up freezing about half of it for extracts, so half is safe :hump:

Damn, it's been a long time since I last posted... Looking great as always, Brother Lukio. Happy to see you're still rocking it. Looks like a lot of the old peeps are off the forum now, but at least we've still got your tasty pics to enjoy.

Life kind of went sideways on me with some family/personal stuff. Stopped giving a shit, to be honest. Almost gave up the garden and nearly lost my genetics to boot. But the wife insisted I get back on the horse and pushed me into flowering some pretty sad-looking plants, which are actually turning out better than I expected (though still far from what they could/should be). We also relocated the garden from the basement to our bedroom, of all places. On top of the personal shit, I just couldn't fight that cold, murky environment anymore! But it looks like things are turning around, at last, and I'm feeling excited about growing again - which brought me back to RIU, after 8 months MIA. But it's good to be back and it's good to see some of the old crowd still going strong!

Yeah, she's great. Almost 20 years together, and we aren't sick of each other yet, so that's good!

Still growing my prized pheno of HSO's Black D.O.G., which I hope to never lose. Appears to be an uncommon pheno for this strain, as most are very Blackberry-heavy, but mine is a gassy, earthy, lemony cut. Not a heavy yielder, but super potent and quite mold-resistant (ugh, the mold issues in that basement!!). Also still growing one last pheno of HSO's Blue Dream, which isn't as potent as the Black D.O.G., but is super hardy and a super heavy yielder. Plus friends/family love it, so it's easy to justify keeping it around a bit longer.

Yeah, the tents take up a third of our room, but it's worth it for the friendlier environment. Not having to fight low temps and high humidity has been such a relief. I was always battling to keep plants healthy(ish) downstairs - and I was usually losing.

Got a harvest coming up in about 2 weeks, I'd guess. The Blue Dream. It's looking like a 9-weeker now that it's upstairs; took even longer when it was unhappy in the dungeon! And then in 4-5 weeks the Black D.O.G. in the other tent should be done. Still need to move the nursery (grow cabinet) upstairs, but should have that done soon, and then I can finally pop some new seeds. Probably Cluster Bomb from Bomb Seeds. I had 5 Ice Bomb seeds planted, but the wife accidentally killed them when they were still seedlings, by watering them with straight ph down solution! That was a big bummer, and she was mad at herself for a long time, but I just leveraged that into permission to buy some new beans, so it'll all work out!

Well shut my mouth, I just checked the trichomes on the Blue Dream and it's looking nearly done. Buds are looking pretty mature as well; figured she was just happier and healthier, and maybe that's the thing. Shouldn't be more than a week until chop. If it runs the same on the next round, I'll have myself a legit 8-weeker. This is the first time she's grown in a friendly environment, but this is also the first full flowering run in hempy with MegaCrop; it was all-organic before. Very cool.

(: that's nice, dude. a rarity these days too it seems. my mrs has wanted me to stop growing for a long time and shes prolly right again...im far too anti establishment for that though.

mine is a gassy, earthy, lemony cut.
mmmm sounds nice, man.

by watering them with straight ph down solution
what a savage beast aha! i sprayed my clones with ISO instead of rhizo the other day, doh!

lol and happy days on the earlier than expected crop 8-) a genuine 8 weeker would be handy eh. environment is so important huh.

i went off MegaCrop, im still not sure if it was me or them...lol! did me great for ages tho...
