Jigfresh's Grow #3 - Flooded Tube Vertical - Querkle, Odyssey - 1000w

[WWShadow]

Hey Jigfresh, awesome thread! learned a lot. I have a question on the dam, did you set the section it is in with glue or is it adjustable in any way? also I found you can get the gasketed couplings for about $9.00 a piece for 4". it's sdr35 pipe: https://keithspecialty.com/dwv.gasketed_sewer_main.htm
I read somewhere on the page that it will also fit same size pvc.
That Heath Robinson is a genius!!!!

The dam I had was not adjustable in any way. I ended up having to rip it out becuase the roots built up behind it and it totally clogged the pipes. The roots got pretty serious. Thnks for the link hook up. That looks like the business. My stuff started leaking a little and was not adjustable in any way. Would have liked that link a few months ago, lol. Thanks for the interest.

So true man, as soon as you know your gonna be a daddy, it is a complete head change. When he/she first lands in your arms it is a life changer. Such an exciting time man.

 

[Integra21]

So what are you growing next?

Little Human Jig beings by all accounts, hehe.

 

[Integra21]

So you put the growing on hold for a while?

I can't wait. Due date near the end of February. Pretty close to my bday. Should be a blast!

So what are you growing next?

I've been looking at xj-13... or whatever it's called. Something like that. Supposed to be really great high and great yeild. Not sure what else there is to shoot for.

Little Human Jig beings by all accounts, hehe.

Let's hope the ultrasound was accurate and I'm only growing one little jig. I would have my hands full with 2 or 3.

So you put the growing on hold for a while?

I am putting growing on hold for the time being. Lots going on in life. Between the little growing thing, this leadership program I am in, and dealing with my sobriety I don't know where growing fits in at the moment. I will grow again. I at least want to harvest before the little one lands. Not sure if I'll be smoking the fruits of my labor though. We'll see.

You guys aren't gonna be mad at me if I stop smoking are you?

 

[#1Raiderfan420]

Jig, my brotha, you do what gives you peace man. I don't consider marijuana a chemically addictive drug, but it is a gateway for some. I grew up with alcholism and drug addiction in my home as a kid, so I have a great understanding of addictions. I went the other way myself and didn't try any drugs until I was 26. I went through the gammit and fortunaley do not have addictive personality. I just started smoking bud last year when it was recommended by a Doctor. Anyway, kinda rambling, but my point is you do what is best for you and your family and if people I have issue with that, then fuck em'. I have never been a judgemental person and don't worry much about what others think of my own personal decisions. I ain't made at ya, I got nothin but love for ya man.

As long as Uncle D's got something to smoke when he visits...you can do what you like mate. I'll smoke it all for ya....I don't discriminate against non smokers!!! hehehehe

Anyone visiting from overseas get's special treatment. I think I could puff a j or two wit'cha. The biggest issue at the moment is the realization I had a couple weeks ago... that I have no way of coping with an emotional situation without a mind altering substance. Never mind the fact I haven't taken more than a day off in over 5 years. And even then it was a forced dry spell as I was traveling. I think the longest I've gone without smoking in the past 10 years is 3 days.

That's why it's nice to go away for a couple of weeks and have a break....Just now I am getting more stoned than a teenager after two weeks of basically stopping smoking. Running my own business and having to make decisions, these are things that I definitely don't do when I am stoned...it has it's place which is where you want to be at with MJ. It's only quiet times when the sun is blazing that I consider lighting one up first thing.......today being one of those days!! haha

I don't think mj is chemically addicting either. But in my case very habit forming. When I fly to England, I smoke like a chimney before I enter the airport... then I count down the minutes until I can smoke in London. It's like I've been living for the next smoke. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing... just not something I want in my life. I had it pretty bad with alcohol. I have the liver damage to prove it (had liver damage at 25). When I was 16, I was drinking 2 - 40's... or a fifth of whiskey, for the night. I even hid bottles from my friends so they wouldn't know how much I was drinking. Or that I was drinking at all. Oh... I got started drinking bottles of Red Sangria... you know the big jug's with the handle on the neck. One of those got me going for the punk show's I went to. Was talking to a friend the other day and we agreed, we don't see the point of 1 beer. I mean really. If I ever drank... I had at least 3. And even then, that was just a shitty night. A good night was me drinking other people under the table... and you couldn't tell I was more than buzzing. I don't think it helped I can hold my liquor either. I'm sure my body would have appreciated throwing some of that stuff up once in a while.

So yeah. I'm an alcoholic. Don't think mj is the evil alcohol is. I just think I don't stand a chance figuring things out when I'm stoned 24/7.

Thanks for what you said.

Last week I took about 36 hours off. Dude... just that little time and my tolerance plummeted. I can't even imagine smoking some hash at the moment. I all of a sudden feel like one of the people I snicker at when they can't smoke like a champ. Guess I'll have to change my tune on that front, haha.

And about picking your times to smoke. I've never had that either. Sounds like something to grow into. I just want to be high all the time. Even when I'm high... I want to be high-er. Haven't been a fan of reality since about 14. It's interesting feeling it again. The other day I woke up completely clear headed. Felt very strange indeed.

Well good for you man, I am proud of you. Addiction is a nasty desease and it takes a lot of courage to hit it head on. The key is eliminating those people that don't respect what your doing from your life. I think this was the hardest thing for my mom. She was a wonderful person, but died at 56 ( 4 years ago) from sclerosus of the liver. She had been clean for 20 years, but had abused her liver so bad in the 60's and 70's that she didn't get to meet her grandaughter. I only share this with you, because that head change we were talking about. When parenting I always think to myself " what would I want my dad to do"( I didn't know my dad). I got custody of my boys 10 years ago and it was the best thing to happen to me. Without them, and the resposibility I felt to them, who knows where or of I would be now. They grounded me and made me want to be a better person. Use that love you have for that baby as your motivation to be the best man you can and you will be a wonderful father.
Anyway, back to the growing thing. I will look forward to the last grow before the kido comes, so I will stay scribed to this one until you start your next one. Good vibes your way and much props to you.

 

[Ray Fox]

Congratulations Jig! That must be such a great feeling. And don't worry, your trade from pot to parenthood will give you a stronger sense of life purpose and push you to concentrate on new responsibilities but also new life adventures! Plus not smoking will eventually lower your tolerance, so when you do smoke it will be even more special of an experience.

So congrats man, relish in the gifts you're given. Nobody here would fault ya.

 

[quickrip]

Yeah dude youve just been given the greatest blessing there is on the planet. With that to look forward to weed is like a small nothing. Who cares what anyone else thinks anyway. Make a good life for that child of yours, everything else is not near as important as it use to be. Just wait till you see your baby for the first time, oh man what a feeling. I couldnt speak for about a full minute, and I never shut up. Haha. Dont get me wrong I love my grow shed but Id burn it to the ground if that would benefit my little 2 yr old girl. Congrats again man.

 

[jigfresh]

Thanks again guys. I'm stoked about this fatherhood thing. I know I've had a blast raising plants... it's been the most rewarding thing I've ever done. I can't imagine raising a little person. I feel lucky to even be allowed the opportunity.

I'll be sure to post a link here to the new journal, when things get going. I'll probably do the same as always. Start it up when I begin consturction. HAha, yeah construction. You didn't think I was actually going to run the same set up more than one run. This time though... I'm thinking I'll keep what I make. I'm going to do it right. Make stuff just perfect, so I can just do run after run.

I'm thinking I'm gonna start construction in bout a month. Stay tuned.....
