Only thing grow related I've done in a bathroom is throw salty dregs of a res down the toilet lol. 1.25 bathrooms in my house! That's vaaaaaaaluable real estate!
When it's the only secure spot in your place that you can have blinding lights going and plants you at least have a chance of concealing, I made space lol. I'm moving my grow into tents in a walk-in closet, but, I've got some great memories from the bathroom. Water as much as I like no problem. I kinda had to gangster my spot lol. Wife likes smoking ALOT of weed.

Water and drainage in the grow room would kick ass!

Well, it is a Gorilla Glue thread. The only thing I have currently are Autos. I paid for GG anyways. Every plant from these seeds has been totally different. But, they have fought valiantly through gnats and grower error(s) to be here today. The other 2 are curing but they're good stuff. That bushy little one there has literally rock hard nuggets. Shit isn't even done and you can't hardly squeeze a bud. The other has those long loose buds but the tips are starting to look like the other one. They all smell different and have different buzzes too. These are looking to take a normal time to finish for autos. 11-12 weeks is still quick but those last ones were only 7 and 8 weeks respectively. Sure, they were small but Geez! 7 fkn weeks from sprout? The shit was 25% amber too.

Of course it has wheels. I can practically see gears turning with you! lol. You're like a weed growing machine lady! Respect! I gotta get into Hydroponics. I do tire of lugging soil in and out of the bathroom.

Just because about using their medical providers. Keep to your own doctors if you can and not use doctors that bill off your settlement.
We definitely have done that since getting back. It's the Medevac and Virginia hospital bills that I had no say about. ( I wasn't saying much of anything coherent I'm told). Wife is expecting north of 100k. But, I am pragmatic and realistic. Our Virginia hospital and transport bills total almost a half million. If that's coming out of our settlement then we might not get much of shit. The company only had the 1 truck and who knows what kind of insurance they had? Minimal at best I'm sure. I try to be hopeful but realistic. At this point I'd be happy with a new light and the 4-6 pot DWC rig. Hell, if I had the light , I'm pretty sure that I can build my own setup from reading up and observing other people's gear.

Day 34 and looking pretty good. She has some twisty leaves which I have read is normal for gg4. Some of the newer leaves are light green so maybe I need to up the nutes some. I'm in coco and using autopot. What ec do you all recommend for her in flower?
Anyway, she is over 4 feet wide and over 2 feet deep now. Starting to smell good too!

GG4 from GG Genetics

Forgot to mention I've got 3 clones off of her. They have twisty leaves too!
 
Hate the PM is hitting your stuff. I've fought it a few times myself and it's a yield breaker. I can't remember if I asked already but what with the head trauma, I forget alot of stuff. What's the recipe for that Canola spray? I try to keep stuff on hand to fight mold and mites. If it's working outdoors then indoors, it should be good medicine.
It's 3ml canola oil and 4ish drops of Dr Bronner's unscented in 1 litre of water.
Put that in a blender until it's all well mixed, and shake it a bit while spraying.
I've never sprayed indoor plants, so I can't say if it's good for indoors, but it killed the PM when I was able to spray it. It just got washed off every time it rained, which seemed to be every day this September.
The GG didn't turn out well though. Complete dud. Probably why it was a freebie.
The other plant I sprayed with it is excellent, so it wasn't the spray.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I use Regalia for PM and PureCrop1 in veg for mites or Citric acid and a little dish soap in flower for mites. Unless they are really bad then you reach for Avid and clone out three generations.

Dealing with bugs soap or a wetting agent of some description is really really important.

Without a wetting agent the hairs on them can resist surface tension and make a safety bubble for them, with a wetting agent there's no surface tension and the water engulfs them on contact drowning them.

You can completely eradicate mites with just wetting agent H202 or citric acid just something to kill the eggs, fwiw i dunk the whole plant down to the coco and gives a swoosh around then repeat in 5 mins.

Eta...I've not seen many YouTube videos I'd recommend to everyone but this is quality when it gets started.
If you're bored give a listen.

Have a nice weekend folk's.

This is true. I've dealt with mites twice over the almost 4 years since I started back growing. I used Capt Jack's the first time and it worked alright. But, last time I mixed 5ml dish soap in some H2O2 and sprayed the plants till soaked twice a day for about a week and the mites died. This year has been a bad one here for all sorts of critters. I have to take a shower and put on clean clothes before entering the growspace if I've been outside much. Especially after mowing.

I would've travelled to the ends of the earth for that pile kief at one time, is it a nice smoke?
I expect it is, its been ages but I can't remember seeded bud being notably bad.
It's pretty good smoke. We've been mixing it into our joints, very little plant material in it.

I honestly cannot tell the difference between seeded and non seeded weed. Potency seems to be the same.

Some of the best weed I've smoked over the years has had seeds. We used to get the fall harvest that would be Skunk Bud and later Christmas Tree and other good bud. I got it from the guy that had pounds and there were almost always a few seeds. I remember getting some seedy brickweed that was absolutely fantastic smoke. The best plant that I grew came from a gram of some dispo weed that had 1 small bean buried in it.
