Looks absolutely perfect! Awesome job! I wish I could get under like that, the back and knees won't allow it anymore for any longer time periods. Hats off! Cheers!
I'm sorry to hear that, I realise it's no fun with a dodgy back, I've been thinking recently this is getting a bit too much for me now.
In near future I'm going for one of they tents that open right up on all sides they have to make the job/pastime/labour of love easier lol.

Garden looks great man
You don't realise just how bloody painful it is until it happens, sometimes the nerves in my back flare up and go through spasms of excruciating blinding pain, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy it's horrific.

Thanks bud! It's allright. It's all part of life, I'm getting fucking old, haha!. It sure gives you character combating chronic issues, but it has also been the main catalyst for much inspiration and learning.

I would never be the person I am today without my chronic issues. One big part about being alright with the pain is to simply accepting it and stop fighting your central nervous system by automatically feeling pity or helpless about your situation. There's nowhere to hide and there's nowhere to stand mentally, that notion is the key for me.

I need proper medicine to function and for neurotic pain there's no better and safer to use than Cannabis. Cheers bud!

I take suboxone daily for opiate addiction maintenance...so I can't take "real" pain meds...cannabis actually gave me more relief than anything...I think it's a mind and body medicine is what does the trick

Ironically I got into fishing after hurting my back now I absolutely love it, I live for it, there's nothing better than wading down a salmon filled pool with a nice joint, previously it was moto x bikes and karts that appealed to me, I'd still love a dirt bike but it in the past (and labled with love)

Good god. That is a shaggy beast. That's how my mother plants look after a bunch of cuts.
Would you not be better flowering the mother that being the case?
I tie my plants over to obtain that bushy shape, that's what works for me.

I wasn't knocking it, I was impressed by the sheer vigor. I personally chop off all of the little weak branches and shoots that I doubt will produce much, but yeah, I was just saying she is mad beastly.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound snarky that wasn't my intention.

The near plant with the stems bent down was taken from a flowering plant then stored in the fridge for 7 weeks and 4 days then rooted and cared for, well you see the end result lol.

Ah, so it was monster cropped? That explains things. That's wild though. I've never heard of anyone long term refrigerating cuts. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I've got a bit of mystery?
The two plants at the back (the ones I spent time on) have grown absolutely shit, one was unknown the other a clone taken from a regular yielding plant?

Throughout flowering they've been healthy I didn't have any reason for concern to around 50 days then I started to think they're not bulking up as normal, there's 2 white widow that were only put in with minimal effort and they've grown as you/I'd expect?
Any suggestions?

It still tastes fucking amazing, it's a plant I didn't have space for the last time around, it was removed and I kept clones from it in the fridge I can't wait to try it now :-)
I almost didn't flower at all as I wasn't to excited about the sisters bar one, tf I did put it to flower.

Did you defoliate them all the same?..Did you do anything differently to those plants than the others?

Yes, I over vegged them and had to thin it out a fair bit of growth on the 2 bigger ones around 40 days of 12/12.
They look great to me nice uniform and frosty buds. Theyre probably at their prime right now as far as i can tell

There's one bigger still to chop it's going to be similar.

I'm significantly happier with this crop compared to the last one.

I only got 4.5oz (1plant) of decent bud the rest was only mediocre tasting I thought.
So that's progress lol
